ooh, yes there is" And Ashley
found it for the senator.
The last spike on the Northern Pa
cific, the first transcontinental road
TO span Montana, was driven at a
point between Garrison and Gold
Creek on Sept. 8, 1888; Montana
gained statehood in 1889.
The Custer fight-massacre is a
misnOmer for it, for the valorous rep
resentatives of the whittier ace went
down with weapons in their hands
marked the beginning Of a new era
in Montana. 1t aroused the nation to
action and a determination to clear
this section once for all Of the hostiles
who were preying upon settlers and
menacing survey crews for the North
ern Pacific, then pushing its way
through Dakota Within little more
than a year, the Reds had been herded
back to the reservation and except
for minor outbreak or two, involving
a few individuals rebelling against the
rule of an Indian agent, the sound of
a gun in organized conflict fired has
not since been heard. 1t marked the
emergence of Montana from an I'M
charted wilderness to a modern com
monwealth. Even in Montana we find
it difficult to realize that only little
more than 80 years has elapsed since
an age of savagery, when wild beasts
roamed the plains and the Indian in
unfettered freedom built his wigwam.
The conditions out of which our
pioneers were moulded exist no longer,
gone they are like the stage coach
and the buffalo. Within a stones
throw of where Custer and his COM
mand fell, now is located the worlds
largest wheat farm. There are no
more frontiers. Through the wilder
ness runs electric locomotive and the
auto. Over, flies the airplane. In un-
settled regions held by the federal
government the forester and game
warden hold the despoiler in awe. We
are living in new Montana, and the
history of the state in the last SO
years is largely the history of the de-
velopment of our growing industries.
And yet Montanans will always re-
member with pride the stories of our
cold timers" who carved out of a con-
tinent an empire for coming millions
They came here, perchance, outlawed

dolman of olive-green velvet is lined
with the same primrose satin and has
a deep shawl collar and cuffs of beige
fox. In an evening ensemble in poppy
red transparent velvet, the gown is
made with dipping line at the back
and with three circular rufles rip
ping upward toward the front. This
variation is abrupt, the hem touching
the slipper heels in back and reach

bodice is an easy" fit, with plain

back, and is finished with a yoke of

opens low ut the back, where a cir
cular oval of velvet is set at the lower
edge. The net yoke is sprinkled with
tiny rhinestones sewn in a net pattern
and the ruffle of velvet has the eff

The young woman for whom this
gown is designed will wear with it
evening slippers of velvet which are
outlined about the top, on the ankle
strap and in single sparkling line
down the vamp with small rhine
stones. The stockings to go with them
are of fine mesh net in a delicate COM
plexion shade.
Fans of Velvet.
Now that fans are coming in along
with laces and trained skirts this cos
tune is to have a fan of velvet, of
rather generous size, laid plain over
sticks of tortoise shell and inlaid at
the outside with briliants. A bandeau
that may or may not be worn is
formed of delicate red velvet leaves
dotted with rhinestones like dew drops.
The wrap, of the same poppy velvet,

give the appearance of silken thread.

CHEST DRIVE

The Speakers Unit" Of the newly
organized Community Chest in
Washington is ready to swing into
action.
1t is composed of more than 100
leaders in the business, civic edrca-
tional. religious and social aativi-
ties of the Capital. who met at the
City Club yesterday to lay plans
for the campaign for funds. which
will be conducted from January rs
to February 6 inclusive.
Among those who spoke at the
meeting were Frederick A. Dclano,

ing reduction OF their obligations to
this country, nor for more lenient
terms. Hoover was one member of
the commission who felt that the
terms granted were most liberal.
The dispatches from the Utah to
the effect that the President-elect
will not endeavor to influence the
present Congress toward any kind
of legislation are taken in Wash
ington with considerably salt. OBJ
viously, Hoover could not come to
Washington, summon Congressional
leaders into conference and tell
them what be wants done
Must Observe PrOpriety.
That is, he could not do it too
openly, for that would be assuming
the prerogatives of the President.
And, after all, Mr.. Coolidge still is
the President
The proprieties must be observed.
But there isn't any doubt in
Washington that Hoover will find a
way during his sojourn here to
communicate to the leaders of
Congress what he would like to see
accomplished before March 4. And
neither is there any doubt but
that he would like to see farm re-
lief enacted, thus releasing him
from the obligation to call a special
session at once

ALLEGES FAUL I
IN BUILDING

The alleged failure of an architect
and a builder employed by Mrs.
Lila J.. Davis, 400 block ColuIu bIa
Rd n. W., to properly plan and
erect five one-story buildings at the
southeast corner of Fourteenth
Street and Columbia Road, in 1929,
resulted in suits totaling $46,195 IN

ney George Il. Sullivan, and julius

is the architect. Mrs. Davis says
she employed Avery as builder and
paid him S23,919 for materials and
labor.
Later, according to the declara-
ton, Mrs. Davis discovered that
the roof and heating plant leaked
and the materials generally were
of such inferior quality as to cause
the buildings to be worth not more
than S13,919. She asks $4,000
against Avery as being the differ
ence between the actual value OF
the buildings and what it should
have been.
She seeks $36,195 from the archi-
tect because she says it was agreed
the buildings would be constructed
to allow the addition of three
stories later. Now she finds the
walls are only IL inches thick and
the District building regulations
will not allow the addition of extra
stories unless the walls are l6

ENGLISH COURT
BANS PAGAN
RITES

LONDON. Dec. 29 uN.Sl.-
Pagan rites for the dead are illegal
in England. This is established
by a judgment rendered by the Su'
preme Court of Appeals.
Miss Gertrude Renira Wenanah
Hiskyns-Arahall was restrained by
the lower courts from entering her
mothers burial vault in Paignton
Cemetery, because the Cemetery au'
thorities claimed. she was making
sacrificial offering of fruit. flow
ers, wines and food and was burn
ing candles in pagan rites"
Miss Hiskyns-Arahall appealed
declaring that she had the right
to enter the vault.
"The idea of this lady that she
had a private place to which she
might resort for acts of piety' was
a mistaken one, and one which
the authorities were right In pre-
venting" said Lord Justice Sankey
in giving Judgment.
"This lady must not delude her
self with the idea she was fol-
lowing the practices Of the early
Christians only. The Assyrians
and Indians did the same as well
as many pagan tribes, but these
practices are not suitable to the
present era"

TION, Dec. 20 Q.N.S).--Now north
Of the Equator. the BattIeship Utah
increased its speed to 16 knots
today so that it will reach the
Virginia Capes next Sunday morn
ing even if storms are encountered
on the remainder Of the journey.
If Hoover's wishes are carried
out, his homecoming to Washing
ton win be without any official re-
ception. Although those in his
party feel a triumphal ride UP
Pennsylvania Avenue would be a
proper finale to his many receptions
in the Latin-American countries
visited, it is known that Hoover has
arranged for Sunday evening
arrival especially because he wishes
to avoid anything approaching a
public reception.
UphOlds Tradition
Hoover is determined to observe
the traditional etiquette which de-
n1ands that a President-elect keep
completely out Of the political and
administrative picture until inaugu-
ration.
The Hoover party is scheduled to
leave Old Point Comfort, Va, aboard
q. special train for the Capital at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon. January
6. The train will arrive at Wash
ington at Z p. m.
Where Hoover will make his head
quarters during his Today stay at
the Capital is still undecided. 1t Is
not likely he will open up his 5
Street home for the short stay.
Hotel Likely
He cannot use the Massachusetts,
Avenue campaign headquarters or
the Republican national headquar-
ters because his business will not
be official. 1t is possible he will go
to a hotel.
Allen Hoover. his son. will leave
for California Immediately after his
arrival at Washington to resume
his studies at Stanford University
at thet beginning of the second
semester.
The Washington times., 1928-12-29

After a full week of it, during
which numerous messages have
flown north and south, the con-
census in Washington is that the
President-elect is returning primarily
for three reasons:
/. To ascertain if it is not possible
to avoid an extra session of Con-
gress after March by persuading
the present session to enact the re-
vised McNary-Haugen farm-relief
bill,
2. To discuss some Cabinet ap-
pointments and other patronage
matters.
8. To have voice in the instruc-
tions that are to be given America g
unofficial observers to the Eu-
ropean reparations conference. Press
reports from abroad have indicated
that Owen d. Young and Rufus c.
Dawes probably will be named.
Importance Emphasized
1t is known that Hoover considers
this reparations problem to be of
deep and abiding Importance to his
Administration, as whatever de-
cisions are reached will have their
application during his tenure of
office. Some authorities here feel
that the approaching conference is
the most important international
gathering since the Paris peace con-
ference, not only to Europe, but to
the United States.
The expectation is that Europe
not only is going to try to have its
war debts to this country scaled
down, but also to link together
Germany's payments with the pay
ments that are to be made to this
country in the debt settlements al
ready reached.
American policy has always been
staunchly opposed to any such
scheme. Presumably Hoover has
shared those views, as he has been
an important figure in the two ad-
ministrations that established the
policy, so that, as far as this gov
ernment is concerned, there can
be no connection with what Ger
many pays to England, France and
Italy, and what those countries
pay to the United States for cash
borrowed from the United States
Treasury.
Holds Terms Liberal
1t is also expected that any
scheme of reparations payments ar
rived at will have to include the
marketing of vast sum of German
railway bonds, Naturally, interna
tional bankers abroad want to I'm
load great issue of these bonds
in the United States. America
would then have a real interest in
seeing to it that Germany made
good her obligations.
As a member of the American
War Debt Commission, Hoover
took a prominent part in effectins
the settlements agreed upon, and
unless he has changed his mind
since those days European nations
will not get very far with the
