"And it's only trimming was

again will we be hearing these
very words in regard to this hat or

written prominently in the seasons

When the ornament is a quality

trimming on the luxurious little velvet
hats which are registering in increas-

Rhinestones are deliberately incrusted
in buckles, balls and buttons. These
complement the black velvet hat with
dazzling splendor. Butterflies and
beetles spread their jeweled wings on
countless velvet toques, and for the
skullcap, earring ornaments of pearl
and rhinestones are in fashion.
There is a decided flair for buckles
of every sort. Gorgeous rhinestone
buckles are in the majority, these dis
playing unique design and artistry of
workmanship. The latest novelty is
the buckle set which includes one for
the hat, another for the hand bag, and
a third pair for ones slippers, each
attached to tab of ribbon or kidskin.

Changing Manners
by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)

Ignorance Of forms cannot properly
be styled bad manners, because forms
are subject to frequent changes; and
consequently, being not founded upon
reason, are beneath a wise mans re-
gard. Besides, they vary in every
country; and, after a short period of
time, very frequently in the same; so
that man who travels must needs be
at first a stranger to them in every
court through which he passes; and
perhaps, at his return, as much a
stranger in his own; and after all,
they are easier to be remembered or
forgotten than faces or Names Swift.

so much that is splendid and amazing.

Simple Cooked Dressing

If you have on hand some sour
cream, you may prefer to make
cooked dressing. A good method is
as follows: Beat an egg very light,
and add to it quarter teaspoOnful of
mustard, half teaspoonful of salt,
quarter teaspoonful of paprika pepper.
half tablespoonful of sugar, quarter
cupful of vinegar, and one cupful of
sour cream. Mix well and cook in
double boiler, stirring constantly, I'M
til thick and smooth. If this dress
ing has any tendency to separate,
strain it before cooling

Apples, potatoes, string beans and
other products handled by the green
grocer or fruit stand are now usually
sold by weight instead of by count
or measure, but for some reason the
habit of handling eggs by the dozen
still persists. AS every housekeeper
knows, there is the greatest difference
in the size of eggs, even in .he same
box; and the most up-to-date cook
books will call for "a cupful o; egg
whites" or, even better, so may
ounces of egg white, rather than
specific number of eggs.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
PASSING INSTRUCTIONS
BY H. IRVING KING

WATCH two men walking together
w and you will be surprised to see
how many couples, when they come to
an obstruction like a post, or a tree,
or, perhaps, a barrel placed on the
sidewalk to cover a temporary exca-
Walton, will take care to pass together
on the same side. Many men who
would scout the idea that they are
superstitiOus will, nevertheless, be ex-
tremely careful in this respect. For
it breaks friendship" if they pass
the obstacle on different sides.
Primarily this superstition is the
survival Of what was, to our savage
ancestors, no superstition at ALL but
only usage born of the exigencies of
savage life. Two members of the
same tribe, making their way through
the dark forests of Northern lands
into which the civilization of the
Mediterranean shores had not yet
penetrated, knew that, lurking about
them in the wilderness were savage
beasts and no less savage enemies
and they kept close together for
safety's sake. To allow even the bole
of tree to interfere between them
might mean that one would be fatally
attacked before his companion could
assist in his defense. For mutual sup
port, for companionship, they instinc-
lively kept close together and instinc-
lively still their descendants turn out
of their way to avoid passing on oppo-
site sides of post. And to this is
added subconscious influence of
symbolism-the division between the
two should the post be between them
suggesting severed friendship.

DISCOVERED AMERICA

OCTOBER TWELFTH is not cele-

was the day upon which Christopher
Columbus was born, but because it
was supposed to be the date upon
which Columbus first stood upon the
ground which forms a part of the con-
tinent of America.
The exact date of his birth is not
known, nor the exact place.
His birthplace is supposed to be
near Genoa, in Italy, and some time
about 1916.

If women would generally weigh
their eggs and persuade dealers that
a dozen very small eggs are not worth
as much as dozen fine big ones, the
custom of selling eggs by weight
would soon become established. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture favors this system of selling eggs
as being fair to both buyer and seller.
1t would encourage the proper sort
ing and grading of eggs on the part
of the producer, and the consumer
who found her family satisfied with
the little eggs could get them cheaper
and leave the big ones for somebody
else.

How 1t Started
MANUFACTURE OF PAPER
By JEAN NEWTON

4 THOUGH the word paper" is
"a derived from papyrus, the writ
ing material of ancient peoples, papy-
rus is not paper, nor does the making
of paper bark back to it. The first
genuine paper was made by the Chi
nese in very early times and intro
duCed by them to the Arabs, and
thence into Europe There is knowl-
edge of a factory established for the
purpose of making paper at Samar-
kand as early as 706 A. d.
BY the Arabs the art of turning lin
en- and cotton rags into paper is
thought to have been taken first into
Spain and then into Italy. The year
11J0 saw the establishment of the
paper mill at Fabriano, which became
the center of a great paper making
district. After Italy came France,
Germany, and when the Edict of
Nantes in 1856 drove French paper
makers into exile, England and Amer
lea fell heirs to the art.
In the year 1900 the first paper mill
in America was built at RoXborough,
near Philadelphia, by William Ritten-
house. The story of the manufacture
of paper would be incomplete without
mention of the Fourdinier brothers,
EngliShmen, who in the early Nine
teenth century lost their fortune in
the invention of machine for produc-
ing paper in endless rolls, instead of
the old individual sheets, machine
which revolutionized the industry and
earned for them the title 'the fathers
of modern paper-making."

STRESS PROPER
FOOD FOR THE
GROWING CHILD

Food doubtless plays a more i'm
portant role during the young years
than any other one factor. Proper
food during the period when the body
is developing means laying solid
foundation for health in adult life.
How many malformed persons go
through life handicapped by the re-
suits of ricketts, suffered in childhood.
And the cause Of ricketts, is lack Of
those foods which furnish calcium to
build the bones properly.
The diet of the growing child pre-
sents the problem of providing enough
food in concentrated form for rapid
growth and excessive activity. Dur
ing the teens the energy needs are
greater than at any other period. The
adolescent boy requires 1000 to 5000
calories or more, and the adolescent
girl needs 2800 to 5000 calories to
meet her energy requirements. The
appetite of the growing child should
be satisfied.
The diet should contain all the es-
sential foods: Meat, milk, vegetables,
eggs, cereal grains and fruits. 1t must
be remembered that the growing boy
or girl not only has to have food to
repair the tissues worn out in the
course of a day filled with activity,
but food which will supply material to
build new tissues. For this purpose it
is essential that the protein in the diet
be complete protein, or protein which
will furnish all the amino acids or
building stones" The animal pro-
teins, meat, milk, and eggs, are the
best sources of tissue building mate
rial, and these should be included in
the diet each day.
Meat, in the form of liver, is being
given to the run-around child because
of the high biological value of its pro-
tein, its freedom from connective It's
sue, and it's richness as a source Of
iron and vitamins. This food is of es-
pecial value in the diet of the child
who needs to have good red blood
built up.

ated early in the history of our
country, President Coolidge has is
sued a proclamation setting Thurs

which citizens Of the United States
should express to the Almighty, as a
nation, their gratitude for his care

peace and of honorable and friendly
relations with our sister nations
throughout the world. Disasters visit
ing certain of ouf states have touched
the heart of a sympathetic nation,
which has responded generously out of
it's abundance. In continuing to re-
member those in affliction we should
rejoice in our ability to give them

EINAR BAKKALA OF
RED DLODCE KILLED
ON ARMISTICE DAY

Almost instant death was the lot of
Einar Bakkala in the No. 2 mine of
the Montana Coal and Iron company
at Washoe about 3:45 o'clock in the
afternoon of Armistice Day. Mr..
Bakkala was known to be one of the
best and most thoughtful motormen
ever employed by the company and
had held the motorman job for eight
years. 1t is not definitely known how
the fatal accident occurred Friday af-
ternoon for the unfortunate man was
alone. He was found beneath a de-
rallied coal car by John Bone and
James McNeish. When the two men
reached him Mr.. Bakkala had said
"I guess I'm a goner," but before his
body could be removed from
the wreckage he was dead. Mr.. Bak-
kala had stepped off the motor while
it was in motion up slight grade.
In some manner he had slipped and
became pinned beneath the first car
of the "trip" and string of cars.
He sustained severe internal injuries
and both legs We're practically ampu-
tated. The accident on Armistice Day
was the first fatal accident to occur
at the Smith mine in five years.
Einar Bakkala was 2S years, s
months and 10 days old, having been
born in Scofield, Utah, March 1, 1899.
When a boy he came to Red Lodge
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. AL
fred Bakkala, and had lived in this
vicinity for 19 years. He received his
education in the Red Lodge public
schools. In 1920 he married Miss Nina
johnson in this city and to this union
were born three children, John,
aged 6; Armand, aged A, and Ray
mond, aged 2. Besides the children
and his wife he is also survived by
his mother in Bearcreek two brothers
and a sister, Elmo Bakkala of Bear
creek; John Bakkala of Des Moines,
Iowa, and Mrs. William Ralph, Jr., Of
Crosby, Wyoming. He was member
of the Miners union.
Funeral services were held at the
family home in Red Lodge shortly

POOL TO
BE OPERATED IN
CARBON COUNTY

With a smaller number of turkeys
this year and prospects for slightly
lower general price level, the striking
improvement in the quality of Mon
tana turkeys that has taken place in
the past few years will be of particu-
lar Importance, says Miss H. (. Cush-
man. Premiums for quality may more
than offset the general reduction in
prices before the present marketing
season is over, says the specialist.
Illustrative of the general improve
ment in breeding, fattening, grading,
packing and marketing of turkeys
that has taken place in recent years,
Miss Cushman points out that no
longer ago than 1921 practically all
of Montana's turkeys were sold on
local markets for whatever price could
be obtained. The quickly saturated
local demand resulted in low price
level. No. l young toms often sell
ing for as low as "a cents per pound.
The improvement has been made
possible largely because of the es-
tablishment of centralized selling
agencies in many of the important
turkey producing countries, which di-
rected attention to the extra return
resulting from better graded and bet
ter packed birds, says Miss Cushman.
With the interest in quality products
aroused, the extension service was
unable to conduct schools in many
parts of the state to bring out the es-
sential points in producing quality
birds
This year centralized selling
agencies or pools will be operated in
the counties of Pondera, Teton, Chou
teau, Hill, Blaine, Valley, Daniels,
Sheridan, northern Lewis and Clark,
Gallatin, Sanders, Judith Basin, Still
water and Carbon. Each pool has its
manager and centrally located head
quarters. AT the time agreed upon
turkey growers bring their birds to
the central station where they are
carefully graded, packed and shipped.
Pools are sold to the highest bidder.
Already the nucleus for a state as
sociation has been established result
ing from the action of meeting of
pool managers at Great Falls in the
fall of 1925. At this meeting state
brand was adopted as a means of
identifying Montana's high quality
turkeys and rules were drawn up gov
erning the use of the brand. Pondera
Hill and Blaine counties will use the
state brand this year.
