LAY BROTHERS BUILD
SNOWFLAKE FOR RANCH

Lay Brothers, of Helena, and who
at one time lived in Red Lodge, manu-
facturers of airplanes, have perfected
new combination of an airplane
and automobile that will be a bless

tory when its use becomes more COM
mon.
The machine is designed to fit the
needs of Allen Prescott, who is man.

Lay Brothers, who will build them
upon order.
The machine is powered by a 165-

in line with those of last year. One Of
the most interesting things he told of
Saturday night was the finding of the
noted dinosaur eggs, reputed to be
95 million years old. They were oval
in shape and about nine inches long.
Saturday evening DR.. Andrews was
the dinner guest of DR.. J. G. F. Sieg-
friedt and he had a very interesting
account given him Of the work and
discoveries made by the latter in the
Eagle coal mine at Bearcreek. He
viewed the various specimens that DR..
Siegfriedt had with him, including
the famous human tooth, and he stat
ed he was disappointed that the snow
would not permit his Visiting the
mine. However, he plans to visit
this section on his return next fall and
in that event will have with him
Walter Granger, member of his ex-
petition and one of the leading palen-
tologists Of the world
In the lecture Saturday night and
in an interview given reporter for
the Billings Gazette, DR.. Andrews
stressed the work that has been done
by our local man and his influence will
undoubtedly help greatly in uncover
ing the remains that lock the secrets
of millions of years ago. Montana is
the home of the mammoths and other
great and small prehistoric animals
and is the second most wonderful of
all places in the entire world. Carbon
county is the place where they are
found and it only remains for scien-
lists to become interested. DR.. An
drews is one of the few that has the
courage to admit that such is the case,
as carefully built theories of many
years standing have been apparently
upset in many ways during the past
two years through the discoveries of
DR.. Siegfriedt.

of 125 miles an hour on the ground.
In building the plane a cabin was
constructed much on the order of a
regulation cabin plane with windows
in the rounded front being of a newly
developed pyralin. The body is made
of automobile metal and is mounted
on Model 7 axles and steering de-
vices.
The runners are about four feet in
length and about six inches wide,
with clearance of about is inches on
the axle. A regular steering wheel
is set in the pilots position and
breaking is effected by a clever adap-
ton of an inverted steering control,
tn blades of the rear skis thrown into
Y much in the manner of the meth
cd used to stop with ice skates.
The big whirling motor is set on
iron braces at the rear of the cabin
with the propeller reversed so that it
would push instead of pull, as in the
case of an airplane.
Tests made recently show that the
machine will travel much faster than
anyone would care to travel in it and
several runs made through 1S-inch
snow allowed the motor to develop a
speed of about so or 60 miles an hour
without opening her up to the half
way mark. The tests were made
over the Helena airport grounds and
on streets and roads about Helena.
1t will steer and ride road like an
ordinary automobile, or can be used
across country at will, the skis rid
ing the drifts or blowing through
soft snow with the effect of a high
power speed boat cutting the water.
Lay Brothers claim a mileage of
about 10 miles to the gallon of gaso-
line and speed up to about 1875 miles
per hour, which seems fast enough
for ordinary ground riding. The ma
chine is equipped with a 15-gallon
force feed gasoline tank and a special
propeller as well as a new Gnome
motor which was the property of Al
len Prescott, who purchased it in
Connecticut.

INCOME TAX MUST BE
PAID BY MARCH Is
Continued from Page Il

An exemption as the head of the
family can be claimed by only one
member of a household.
Many persons married during the
taxable year fail correctly to com
pute the amount of their personal ex-
emption.
The revenue act of 1928 provides
that if the status of the taxpayer
changes during the year, his personal
exemption shall be determined by ap-
portionment, in accordance with the
number Of months the taxpayer was
single and married. For example: A
couple married on July 81, 1928, and
living together on December 81, 1928,
may file joint return and claim an
exemption of $3,208.33; that is, TIP
of $500 for the husband while sin
gle, or S875, plus TIP for the wife
while single, plus SLY of $500 of
$4,000, or S1,458.83, for the period
during which they were married. If
husband and wife make separate re-
turns each may claim a personal ex-
emption of $1,604.17. The husband
is entitled to TIP of $500, or S875,
for the period during which he was
single and one-half of 5-12 of $500,
or $T2e.17, for the period during
which he was married. The wife is
entitled to a similar exemption. SINH
lar provision is made with respect to
the head of family. A person, who,
on July 81, 1928, ceased being the
head Of family-the support in one
household of a relative being discon-
tinued--is entitled to an exemption Of
$2,66667, which is TIP Of $500,
plus 5-12 of $1,000.
With respect to the $500 credit for
a dependent, the taxpayers status
as Of the last day of the taxable
year determines this credit. If dur
ing the year his support of such de-
pendent ceased, he is not entitled to
this credit.
Of the millions of taxpayers who
will file returns for the year 1928,
the vast majority are entitled, in adj
dition to the personal exemption of
$500 for married persons and heads
of families, $1,000 for single persons,
and $500 credit for each dependent,
to a further credit Of rs per cent of
the tax on their earned net income.
Correctly to determine this cerdit, the
taxpayer first must compute the
amount Of tax which would be pay
able without the earned income credit,
and from this amount Of tax Is per
cent is to be deducted, the balance
being the amount of tax due.
For example: A taxpayer, unmar-
ried and with no dependents, with a
net income for 1928 of $4,000, would
pay without this reduction tax Of
$3.50. His actual tax is $39.37
From his net income of $4,000 he is

I COOKING for "just simple little
~ hat' for midseason wear? Tired
of felt and want something different?
Here it is in this picture-satin To
be sure, felts are smart as ever, espe
cially when worked with straw or the
new plaid or striped fabrics, but so
are satins, either all satin or COM
bined with something else. Anyway,
to keep up with the demands of the
mode one must maintain q well
equipped wardrobe Of hats. So why
not include satin chapeau? 1t should
prove an admirable choice for a first
hat to carry message Of spring.
After satin or felt what next on the
program? Exotic straws. It's going
to be q wonderful straw season, ac.
cording to fashions prophecy. The
interesting part about these lovely
supple straws is that miliners are
handling them in the same intricate
way they manipulated felts. They
are folded and tucked, scanned, draped
and slaShed into becomingly irregular
silhouettes with the facile of the sup
pie felts.
However, we are getting away from
the original theme. We started to tell
about the nobby satin hats which are
in such good style for the immediate
moment. The group pictured covers
a range from all-satin to satin com
bined with felt, also satin with straw
Commencing with hat number one

careful instruction of both your par ents and your teachers.
 All these things pertain only to the personal duty of each of you as a pu- pil of the Putnam high school from the "greenest" freshman to the most sedate and serious Of the seniors.
 However, there are signal duties which you, as seniors, must perform the duties of leadership, leadership in all phases of your school life. In you. the class of 1880, are the lead. CTS for next year of every schOo activity. In your hands are placed the responsibilities of the leadership of the higher organizations, and you are trusted to execute the duties of those officers to the best of your ability and for the general good ol the school. From your ranks arc chosen the editor-in-chief of the school paper, the heads of it's depart ments. is business and circulation managers. While there is very sell dom loud acclaim and public praise for these leaders. how many are there who would not miss the paper if it were a few days late, or who would not feel a sinking sensation within him if the paper did not shape up, or if the financial report showed a deficit? It is the duty of its lead CTS Co see that this does not happen.
 From you come the officers of the Athletic Association, the organization of which every member ol the school is member and a stockholder The A. 4. is the body in which exist all branches of athletics, and the oiil- cers ef the organization form a large part of it's executive staff Although the greater part of the school is com cerned about the A. A. only when it is time to pay their dues or when a meeting is called at assembly twith the hope that period may be omit ted D what a clamor of general up- rising there would be, if suddenly all athletic activities were done away with because it's executive staff were unable intelligently to manage it. lt Ia the duty of those of you who will m those positions to keep the mach inery of the association running smoothly 90 that at the end of the term you may leave those tasks well done.
 From among you come the captains oF the various athletic teams them selves. the leaders on the gridiron, the basket ball floor, the diamond, and the track. These leaders must have sincerity cf purpose during practice as well as in interseholastic contests; they must be loyal to train ing rules. co their coach, and to their school. IL is their duty to iEstill in their teammates the right attitude toward the game and it's coach, and to set high standard of play through out the seascn. However. this can be accomplished only by strict adherence

Charge to the Juniors

We of the class of 1929 have just completed our high school term; we have successfully reached the zeal toward which we have been striving and which has served as our guiding star of achievement for the past four -Gradnatian These fGGr years which seemed SO hard and SO long, now seem but the passing of weeks, and the lives of our friendships and their jcys seem all too abbreviated. Our ceremonies tonight have recalled to us the incidents and achievements of which we are proud, but, at the same time. there creep in thoughts O. those occasions when we could have done better and brought more credit both tc our school and Co ourselves.
 For most of us it would be the sheerest pleasure to re-hve our se- nior year at Putnam High, to brace up those places where our workman ship was poor and doubly Co enjoy those moments which We now proud ly cherish in memory. But we can't do that. for the time is near when each one of us must break away and follow his own course in the world, forming new friendships and taking his part in new social circles. There fore we feel that the next best thing to re-living our senior year at Put nam High is to try to help you of the class of 1880. who will fill the ranks that we leave vacant, to live yours better.
 It is needless to tell you that the senior studies are harder than those which you have just completed, and that more homework will be neces- sary. You already know that your studies get more difficult each year.
 It is needless to state the various laws of the school and Co tell you that as seniors you should uphold them. for you have been drilled from junior high school in their signin- canoe and how you should comply with them.
 It is needless to lay before you group of hard and set rules,--rules of courtesy, courtesy to your teach CTS. to your classmates, and to visit ors; rules of honesty. honesty in all vour school life. honesty m rela- tions with your instructors, with your comrades, with yourselves; rules Of integrity in all matters in which you are involved and where your word is desired. Those qualities are those Of any young gentleman or young lady, and have been instilled by long ard

Class Poem

Four happy years have swiftly passed it seems That we've barely time to get a
 start, But when we pause en route and dream our dreams The time spent here is nearest to
 the heart. Incessant days have truly gone by fast
 For time nor tide was never
 known to wait But in those fleeting days there have been cast The joys of scho.E-and at a rapid
 rate. Our new environment was first tc bring A happy gleam to the untutored
 eye; And in our voices put a cheering ring As we upon our earefree way did
 hie. And then there came the joy of new friends found, From whom we've gained our fond est mem'ries here; And tho we travel this whole world around We'll cherish in our hearts theil
 faces dear. But from these friends there comes our first great sorrow For as the time to part draws near
 we find That tho they're here today, they're gone tomorrow And some will climb and some vii stay behind. And last there comes the greatest jo! we own The feeling we've accomplished
 things and gained Innumerable lessons-not from book alone But oft of lise-and the great goa
 that's yet to be attained.

to those principles of loyalty and pur- pose, plus real earnest endeavor on their part.
 Leadership is not confined to the athletic field or gymnasium alone, nor is it confined to the officers Of the various organizations of the school. but it may be practiced in the study halls, the school corridors, on the school grounds, and in the circles Of these organizations themelves by every member of the senior class.
 In the study hall and in the corri- dors a quiet acceptance Of the regula- t'ons and a sfudious conduct on the part of the seniors can de mere to 'iis. courage the proper attitude among underelassmen than all the scoidinp of all the teachers.
 On the school grounds it is you who should be first to see the care lossly dropped piece of paper or the fragment of wood and you who should pick it up and put it where it belongs. The underclassmen who observe you doing these things in your quiet way cannot help being impressed and led to be more thoughtful and more con- scitus of their duty.
 For the most part the orRaniza- tions of the school, such as the de- batting, writing, and glee clubs, the orchestra, along with the school pa per, the athletic association, and the various athletic teams, have their im- polling force. their moving factors, in their senior members. lt is therefore your duty as seniors. as leaders, to carry out faithfully and intelligently your part in the school fife.
 Last, and by all means the greatest phase Of leadership. is leadership in the intellectual side of school life. The level of the scholastic accom- plishments of the school is largely set by the senior class. It is only natural that the underclassmen look to the seniors for standard to set their work by, and if that standard is low. incidentally it levers the standard of the whole institution. The ambi- tious underclassman is more impressed by those who repeatedly stand up when their names are called in as sembly as being on the honor roll than by the most outstanding athletic stars Of the season. Therefore, con- slider it only your duty to yourself to gain intellectual distinction but your duty as seniors to your school.
 I have dwelt on the subject of lead ership and it's duties in order that you may fully realize the demands of the added responsibilities that win rest upon the shoulders of every one of you next year and also because l be- ieve that the general welfare of Put nam High will depend largely on the exeellency of that leadership.
 May it prove better than ours.

Salutatory Address

Parents, instructors. schoolmatcs. and friends: We take great pleasure in welcoming you to our Glass Day exercises. After four years of study we gather here today Co extend our greetings and appreciation to you who have helped us gain a foundation for our future.
 Here our lives have been shaped through the untiring guidance of our parents and teachers. This ph.losa- phy of our lives k now partly formu- lated due Co the environment of Wood stock Academy.
 We are the handicap We must face.
 We are the ones who must choose
 our place.
 We must say where we want to go-- How much we will study, the truth
 Co know.
 God has equipped us for life, and He Lets us decide what We want to be- n
 These great truths recall to mind q visit l once made to an old shrine. Here. standing apart from the others. l noticed an old gray-headed man. He appeared to be a beggar, so l placed some small change in his hand. In return for this kindness he began tell ing me about his experiences, from which l learned many valuable truths.
 Tn my observations of human na- ture and life. he began, "l have learn ed that most material things are su- periicial, and the things that men lay the most stress on are not so import ant in the end. This is especially true of power. wealth, and luxury. If men would stop and reflect on the struggles of life, perhaps they would ask themselves, Am l strong for the right thing?' Remember the Tower of Rome-it crushed; the wealth of ancient kings and the luxury of Egypt all there Is now to show for that display is dust and erumbling ruins Earthly beauty fades. and worldly goods diminish. What shoud one strive for2
 "Ahi There are more worthwhile things in life Perhaps the most i'm. partant of these is truth, which |, gained by knowledge; knowledge oi the past and present, of nature and God and one's fellowmea. Truth F immortal. and no one can be free with out it.
 "Another thing te gain in life ii love and friendship Life is but [ barren desert without these. Love l. paid in full for all the kindness we d' to others, and is one of the worth while things gained in life withou struggle and strife.
 Beauty is also an important faetol in ones happiness. Not the mer' beauty gained by wealth. but tho beauty of the soul and mind, gained by right living and thinking. This then, is my motto for life, Truth vii set you free.
 I was greatly astonished by thi old mans philosophy, and asked hin his identity.
 Well" he replied, "I was younl man of title. and I became dissatis fled with the strife connected with m rank. so decided to disguise myself a beggar and learn the meaning Q life"
 As turned to thank him for hi kind philosophy he had vanished. Q induiry 1 could learn nothing of sue character, and although do not b' lieve in miracles. l often wonder if n was not someone sent Co give me th right idea of life. l have decided { accept his motto as my guidanc' Truth will set you free. z DORIS BASTO.
