SCIENTIST URGES STUDY
OF BRAIN MECHANISM
Sir Arthur Keith Believes Govern
ments Should Spend More Time
Examining Heads.

LONDON fR)-Sir Arthur Keith,
famous scientist, believes that govern
ments would do well to employ more
men in examining brain and fewer In
building warships.
1.-THE government Of Russia" said
Sir Arthur In lecture ct the Royal
College Of Surgeons, sis spending as
much on the examination Of Lenin's
brain as would be needed to equip q
battleship."
The comparative value Of the human
brain. he said. Is not to be fairly esti-
mated by its size and shape, but by the
quality and variety of its daily accom-
plishments. While some geniuses have
large brains, there are many exceptions:
Of these Sir Arthur believed the most
remarkable was that Of Anatole France.
whose brain weighed only 80 ounces, OF
Is ounces short of the allowance usually
given to the farm laborer.

FIRST CHANCE
FOR JOBS GOES
TO WAR VETS
Widows of Service Men Also
Will Have Preference in
Census Taking

Great Falls-War Veterens and
widows OF war veterans will be given
preference in selecting enumerators
for the 1880 census, according to in
formation received by j. H. Hughes,
adjutant of the Great Falls post of
the American Legion, from National
headquarters of the organization
The 1880 census operations will
commence about April /, although
offices for the district comprising
Cascade, Teton, Glacier and Pondera
counties will be installed in the
county building about January l.
Charles Davidson, deputy county at
torney, is supervising for the dis
trict.
In a letter to O. l.. Bondenhamer
national commander of the American
Legion, Congressman Louis Ludlow
OF Indiana points out that war vet
erans, their wives or widows who de-
sire employment as census enumera-
tors may obtain application blanks
by writing William M. Steuart, di-
rector Of the census, Washington,
D. c.. Veterans should state their
military service when contemplating
the applications.
When the application blanks are
received the director will refer those
meeting with his approval to the
supervisors in the various districts
The supervisor will have authority to
make the appointments.
Congressman Ludlow estimates
that 100000 enumerators Will be Sc
lected throughout the country. The
pay will average from SIS to SO a
day. 1t is reasonable to expect, it
was said, that under a reasonable in
depreciation Of the instructions of the
secretary Of commerce that 100000
or more of these positions will be av-
ailable to veterans or the widows Of
such, and to the wives Of injured
soldiers, sailors, marines, who them
selves are not qualified but whose
wives are qualified to hold such a
position.

ED ESTES ARRESTED
ON LIQUOR CHARGE

Saturday afternoon U. S. Customs
officers j. H. Melvin and X. ]. Kant
ner arrested Ed. Estes of Plentywood
on charge of possession and trans
portation Of Intoxicating liquor. The
defendant was arraigned before U. S.
commissioner Belanski, and was
bound over for trial at the next
term of the Federal Court in Great
Falls, and released on bonds of $500
furnished by Hank Kresbach and
Stanley Palubicki.
This is the first arrest made in
Plentywood by the U. S. Customs
officers after they arrived here about
week ago, to remain permanently.
Since their arrivel here the booticians
have had a decided falling off in bus
mess, and according to word receiv-
ed from parties higher up in the dry
squads, the liquor industry will have
to lock up shop permanently in Sher-
idan County. Instead Of "Tom and
Jerrys" for Christmas this year,
most everybody were satisfied with
Mutt and Jeff's."

FEEDING Wild BIRDS
IN EAST. MONTANA
Steps Are Being Taken to
Preserve Game From
Extinction

Deputy State Game Warden E,
M. krost has been authorized by
the State Game Commission to use
every means to protect the Chinese
pheasants in this territory, and has
now made arrangements for ten
feeding places for these beautiful
game birds which are now accumu-
lating in such numbers that in few
seasons we will be permitted a short
open season on them.
A humane act of this sort is what
we must all appreciate. Wild life is
finding this an extremely hard Win
ter to obtain food, and if any person
in this County knowing of any wild
birds in this vicinity who will render
a little act of kindness to these birds
by scattering a little food for them
occasionally, will find himself amply
repaid. This applies especially to
Chinese pheasants, Hungarian Par
tridgeand our native grouse. If
cooperation of this sort can be OBJ
tanned it will greatly help to propo-
gate these game birds, which will
otherwise become almost extinct on
account of the extreme severe winter
We are having.

PETERS TO PLAY
IN GRID CLASSIC

San Francisco-First indications
Of what the lineups of eastern and
western all star teams will be in the
annual Shrine hospital benefit classic
here New Years day began to appear
today as both teams settled down to
intensive practice for the battle in
which many famous gridiron heroes
Of the 1929 season will play.
The information regarding posi-
tions at which the stars will play was
obtained by observers at workouts
OF both teams, but many changes
and various combinations may be
made before definite lineups are es-
tablished.
Fanny Hunt of Gonzaga, a noted
kicker, may open for the west, it was
indicated, while Frosty Peters of IL
llnols, the man who nearly displaced
Red Grange, may carry the burden
Of toe work for the east. Hunting
made the best showing as a punter in
yesterdays practice session Of the
western team. Peters, ryted as one
of the craftiest field generals in the
game. is a neat drop kicker.
Frosty Peters is a brother of Mrs.
Henry Goodman of Plentywood, and
has been in the spot light the past
two years as one of the most able
field generals for that time. He
holds the worlds record for drop kick
ing, and this season is accredited with
having completed twelve forward
passes in one game, which also is a
record. He without doubt, would
have made a strong bid for a berth on
the all-American team, but was fore
ed to retire from the gridiron in the
early part of the season because of

SUNDAY TRAIN SER.
VICE PETITIONED

Petitions are being circulated all
along the Bainville- Opheim branch
Of the Great Northern, asking that
the Railway Commission grant Sun
day passenger and mail service for
this branch. Facts are set forth
that it is the best paying branch line
of the Great Northern and that there
are two county seats that are served
by it.
The fact that we have very poor
roads in this territory and exceeding
~ heavy snow this winter has acted
as spur. in getting these petitions
started. They are being signed up
fast and willingly.
The people served by this branch
used to have a daily passenger service
but the Sunday trains were taken off
during the world war in order to ac-
comodate the Government, and as a
war measure. 1t is ten years now
since the war ended and we are still
without Sunday train service. 1t
cannot be said that there is not
enough passengers or express to war
rant this accommodation to the resi-
dents of this territory A Sunday
train on this branch, with the same
service as week days, with mail ana
express is not luxury or a mere ac-
comodation, it is an absolute neces-
ity.

The break occurred as the six were
released from their cells and were
being led to the hospital ward. The
