even 4 greater number awaited themselves
of the opportunity to secure this govern
ment explosive at cost. Powder costs
ranged from t4.75 to $3.50 per farm and
the increased land value resulting from
these expenditures, ranged from $25 to
$I-150 per farm.
The land clearing work with pyrotol
started In 1921, was suspended in 1922
and 1923 and WAS continued In 1924, 1925
and 1925. The first year but one carload
of the explosive was used, and that In
Flathead county. Since then the three
counties have used 10 carloads of the ma
terial. During the four years, 10 demon
STATIONS showing the most effective means
of using the powder for blowing out
stumps have been conducted by the Mon
tana Extension Service.
Flathend county Is the leader In land
clearing work, using 26S,2 80 pounds of
pyrotol since 1921. More than 5000 acres
of land have been cleared, increasing land
values by 1906, $50. The powder used cost
the farmers approximately $4,000.
In Lincoln county ass acres OF land have
been cleared through the use OF 1880
pounds Of powder during the 30 months

LEASED FUNDS
Assistant Attorney General Angst
man Says Supreme Coure Decision
on 1925 Gas Law Also Makes Re-
ferendum Measure Valid
CIV Our Helena CORRESPONDENCE

ely Our Helena Correspondent
As the result of the supreme court
decision handed down declaring the 1925
gasoline tax law to be constitutional,
pany and the international Refining
company each has Withdrawn its pro-
test to the tax paid by II for the quar-
ter ending September 30. 1914.
This action upon the part of the two
companies serves to release all of
paid under protest for the third quarter Of
the present calendar year, the payment OF
the Lewistown company made nearly two
ago amounting to $s,504.02 and
that Of the International SIG, 681. IA.
So far none Of the several refining COM
ment for gasoline taxes accruing during
the third quarter of the year or any pre-
vious periods under the 1926 law has made
to the state treasurer.
The ruling Of the state supreme court
in which the 1925 gasoline tar law was held
valid, is equivalent to a decision that the
new law, as adopted by the people on
November 2, also is valid, In the opinion
OF A. FL. Angstman, assistant attorney
general who drafted the 1925 law and who
has been In charge for the state In litiga-
tion instituted In an effort to collect the
tax from delinquent refiners.
Mr.. Angstman pointed out that while
the opinion of the supreme court In the
Silver Bow Refining company case has
no direct reference to the initiative measure
No. 81, approved by the people at the lart
election, the new measure Is an exact du-
plicate of the one held constitutional ex-
rept that 1t provides a different rate Of
taxation and q different disposition of
funds derived from the tax.
THE decision Of the supreme court sus-
tanning the validity Of the 1925 gasoline
sales tax law is a signal victory for the
good roads program In Montana" Mr..
Angstman said Wednesday. "The people
who pay the tax will have the satisfaction
Of knowing that 1t Will have to be turned
over to the state for the use for which II
was intended. 1t Is the beginning Of what
promises to be = new era In road construc-

By pooling orders for pyrotol, the

HANDS ACROSS THE

Hands Across tie Border" one of the most spectacular of all Fred Thomson's western TO- mances, comes to the Coliseum Theatre Saturday. Frank M Cliff ton wrote the story, rattling tale Of smuggling along the Mex ican line, and the amusing diff culties into which a young Ameri- can can become immersed when he starts promiscuously to rescue young Spanish ladies from girls boarding schools. Along with the chuckles that sprinkle the picture with the usual Thomson prodi- gality there is an unexampled number of thrills, in most of which Silver King plays big part. That horse takes the palm as the best actor in Hollywood, And MT. Thomson himself would be the last to deny such an as sertion. Bess Flowers has the leading lady's part, and she proves a devastating damsel, both in distress and otherwise.

 "ElUEBEARD'S 7 WIVES"
 IS COMING TO PALACE

New York film critics acclaim ing the sensational work Of Blanche Sweet, movie star, in her latest picture. "Bluebaard's Seven Wives in which she had Ben Lyon give the balcony" scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Julit."
 According to these critics, the actress has presented the immo-- tai bard on the screen with alto gether unprecedented artistry. Although parts of Shakespeare have hitherto been filmed, Miss Sweets adaptation is reported to be far and away the best ever done. In fact, it i3 called perfect.
 On the heels of her success la this picture. several film produe- CTS have made offers to the star to play the principal role in q complete screen version of "Ro- meo and Juliet" it is said. Beau ty and rare acting ability, espa- cially of the romantic trend. would make the star particular. fitted for the difficult role.
 "B,uebeard's Seven Wives" IS primarily comedy. and the fact that the balcony" episode attract ed notice is taken as proof of Miss Sweets outstanding excel lence. The film comes to the Palace on Sunday.

PUBLIC HEALTH
 NURSES AIDING
(Continued from Page One.)

Dr. Wiis.am II. Welch, of Johns Hopkins University, a pIbl.c health authority of worldwide re- nown, has emphasized the impor- tance of this task. calling atten- tion to the fact that few of the great discoveries of preventive medicine, except the prevention of yellow fever, are anywh orc
 llarIy fully applied"
 "When Koch discovers the tubercle bacillus" says Dr. Welch, "a Banting discovers insulin for the relief Of diabetes, a ven Behs- ing anti-toxin for the prevention of diphtheria, tue world draws a eng sight of relief as if saying to itself. Now we are rid of that terror which has haunted the nu- man race for centuries. If then straightway forgets and goes on it's way comfortably, assuming, Of course, that the great discovery or invention is baing carried into effect.
 'The actual facts are quite di'- ferent. A few people receive the benefits of the new discoveries but the great mass of the human race goes on as before and the death rate from these diseases i3 reduced slowly and over long reriods of time"
 It is to help prevent wastage of this knowledge, gleaned by de- voted scientists during years of palnstak.rg effort, that the nurse assumes the double burden of tending the sicl. and teaching di- sease prevention. When the Red Cross nurse undertakes. in CO., operation with health authorities, to inspect school children for physical defects which approxi- mately 70 per cent are said 10 hove. her job is not finished.
 She must explain to the par ents of a child that the diseased tonsi.s must come out, that glasses must be procured, or that teeth must be fixed When she is called to an isolated farmhouse or mountain cabin to attend the sick she must also instruct the mother or daughter in home nurs- ing and explain how diseases may be prevented.
 Last year public health nurses for tho Red Cross alone inspected nearly 100000 school children and gave nursing fad to thous- ands, too poor, or too far away f.om doctor, to secure help.
