CITY COUNCIL IN HOT SESSION TUESDAY
REFUSES TO DESTROY FIRE DEPARTMENT
In Long Drawn Out Session Council Awarded Water
Collecting Job, and Employed City Electrician;
Ordered Necessary Street Improvements

One of the hottest city council
meetings that has been held in the
city of Red Lodge for many years
took place Tuesday which was the
regular monthly meeting. The coun-
ell met promptly at o'clock and last
ed until after midnight. The fire
works started Immediately after the
regular monthly bills were allowed.
Alderman Cunningham raised an OBJ
lection to the street work that had
been done since the last meeting. He
attempted to criticize the street and
alley committee and also the Mayor
for doing the work that was neces-
sary to be done. Alderman Keyes took
exception to Cunningham remarks.
The meeting progressed smoothly for
little while until they reached the
ORDER of business when the bids were
opened for the city water collector and
city electrician when at this time the
fireworks broke out again. There was
only one bid presented for each posi-
tion, that of D. w. Columbus, the
present water collector and city elec-
trician.
Mr.. Columbus bid for water collec-
tor was $4,000 a month, the same
price that is now being paid. His bid
for city electrician was $25.0O, the
Same as the present contract. During
the discussion of the bids it developed
that there was movement on foot
to consolidate the office of the city
water collector, city electrician, street
and water commission and fire de-
partment. Both bids of Mr.. Columbus
were rejected by vote of 4 to 2. I'm
mediately afterwards it was proposed
by Alderman Aho that all the posi-
tions he consolidated into the fire de
partment, which was strenuously op
posed by Alderman Shelley anf

LINDBERCH'S LUCK
IS ATTRIBUTED TO
A!R-C0OLED MOTOR

Dispatches coming from France
carry the impression that Colonel
Lindbergh resents so much credit
being given to luck for the full ac-
complshment Of the trans Atlantic
hop. A number of his flying friends
in the United States are certain in
their resentment of granting luck so
much credit for his triumph.
They point out, as did the colonel
almost daily after he landed in Paris,
that it was foresight in choosing the
best of everything for the flight. The
colonel points with pride on every oc-
casion to the wonderful performance
of his Wright Whirlwind air-cooled
motor. His friends place his ability
as the more important but he modest
ly attributes his success primarily to
the motor that purred so sturdily and
sweetly for 3312 hours covering with
out murmur Of hesitation more than
5000 miles, a great part of which was
through sleet, rain and fog.
Automotive engineers credit these
great flights in no small extent to the
development of the air-cooled motor
by the Franklin Automobile company
which has developed the air-cooling
principles since its inception quar-
ter of century ago.
0. H. P. Shelley is local dealer for
the Franklin.

Armless Sydney Girl Is
Clever With Her Toes

Sydney.-A fifteen-year-old Sydney
girl is a wonderful example of the
triumph of human perseverance and
Will power over physical misfortune.
Crippled from birth and robbed of the
use of both hands and arms, she has
learned to write more legibly than the
average person and perform other
things with her toes.
For writing, the girl holds the pen
or pencil between the first two toes of
her right foot and steadies the pad
with her left. Her "hand" is neater
and more easily read than over so per
cent OF hundreds of normal writer's
taken at random from schools and Of
fees.
In addition, the girl paints, stencils
knits and does all kinds of sewing
with her feet. She can thread a needle
with them.
