KITCHEN CONTEST
ON IN ROOSEVELT

The Kitchen Improvement work
that is being conducted Throughout
Roosevelt county under the direc
tion of Miss Vesta Hanson, district
home demonstration agent fol
Daniels, Sheridan, and Roosevelt
counties, is progressing very salts
factorily.
The Kitchen Improvement work
is being carried on in the form OF
a contest with prizes to be award
ed to those women who make the
greatest improvement in their
kitchens, cost being considered.
A series of six meetings will be
held in all of the communities en-
rolled in the contest. The meet
ings will be as follows:
General Kitchen Arrangement.
Built-in Equipment and Correct
Working Surfact Heights.
Water and Drainage Systems
for Farm Homes.
Wall woodwork, and Floor
Finishes.
Commercial and Homemade
Equipment.
Tour of the Improved Kitchens,
by the women in each community.
The kitchens are scored using
a standard score card and sug-
gestions for improvement are
made by the home demonstration
agent. Before the close of the
contest, which will be sometime
next summer, the kitchen will be
rescored to determine who has
made the greatest improvement
The home management specialist
from Bozeman will Judge the win
ners in this contest.
Practically all of the kitchens
enrolled in the contest have been
scored and the meetings on gem
eral kitchen arrangement and |
built-in equipment have been held |
in nearly all of the. communities, |
and the meeting on water and
drainage systems IS been held
in few of the communities.

RECALLS PAST WINTERS

O. P. McClammy of Oswego was
in Wolf Point Monday. He says
he has been in Montana 81 years
and has seen some hard winters.
The winter of 1906 and 1907 was
one of the worst During that
winter there were two weeks when
the temperature lowered around
so and SIS degrees below zero, and
here was considerable suffering
.mong stock.

ASKED FOR AID

Faced by a shortage of funds
due to unusually large gasoline
tax refunds, snow removal and
virtually all field operations of the
state highway commission have
been temporarily discontinued In
order to meet the existing condi-
ton, it was ascertained Tuesday.
efforts are now being made to
secure assistance Of counties in
financing the snow removal oper-
ations under an arrangement
whereby the counties will be re-
imbursed when the commission Sc
cures highway construction and
maintenance funds in the spring
or summer
Explains Plan
Practical suspension Of the
operations was announced by A.
w. Mahon, division engineer of
the state highway commission,
who declared that all men with
the exception of resident engineers
had been temporarily removed
from duty due to inavailibility of
funds. Immediately following the
suspension of operations, the resi-
dent and division engineers were /
notified to confer with county of
fcials and attempt to arrange for
a continuation of the snow remov-
al operations.
The counties, it is suggested, are
TO pay the actual expenses of pro-
viding gas, oil, etc. for equipment
and pay the salaries of the state
crews, who will continue the snow
removal operations on roads con-
structed by the state. The state
snowplows and other equipment
win be used
Mr.. Mahon has direct charge of
L9 counties and in four. districts
snow removal equipment has been
provided In Teton and Cascade
a rotary snowplow is
lvailable, and in the Fergus coun-
y, Valley-Roosevelt counties and

The Nature of Atoms

helium atom consists of two
eleCtrons.
Here, the number Of electrons
tWo), is one-haf the atomic
weight of helium, which is four
This law" however, was found
to be only an approximat ton;
and was soon displaced by the
brilliant idea advanced in 1913
by a Dutch physicist, Van der
Brock, that the number of cleo
irons in the atom of an element
is equal to its atomic number.
The real solution of the puzzle
came when the young British
physicist, Moseley. demonstrated
that the atomic number of an
element is a measure of it's
nuclear charge. This discovery
was of fundamental importance,
since it not only fixes the num-
Der of electrons in all the atoms.
but shows conclusiveIy that the
properties of an atom are deter.
mined, not by its atomic weight,
but by its nuclear charge.
Let us see how this works.
Take simple case first. helium.
For helium, the atomic weight is
4, the atomic number and nuclear
charge each >. The nucleus should
consist of hydrogen nuclei
(since the eletrons virtually do
not affect the mass or weight and
since these represent positive
charge, there must also be present
in the nucleus electrons mega
tive) in order to make the nuclear
equal to 2.
The rule works out just as we'll
for a more complicated case, say
RadiuN C, atomic weight 214,
atomic number 83. In this case
the nucleus must contain SO he'll
ium nuclei leach containing 4
hydrogen nucleD and 2 hydrogen
nuclei. making a total of PA.
Also. the neucleus must contain
131 eleCtrons. since 13l subtraCLed
from PA gives the nuClear charge
as SO, which we know to be the
atomic nunAhss.
The Washington times., 1929-10-28

aNoWADATs we have all be-
~ come accustomed, without
very we'll understanding why, to
the idea that an atom is min
iature solar system. At the cen.
ter of the atom is the nucleus,
and around this nucleus the
swarm Of eleCtrons revolve in SIM
pie or complicated orbits.
In the case Of all atoms, 1t Is
easy to recognize that the mass
of the necleus, for all practical
purposes, is the mass of the
atom. Indeed, the individual elec-
irons are too light and insub-
stantial to effect appreciably the
total mass of the atom. What
the physicist was particularly
interested in was the all-impor-
tant question: What is the mag.
nitude of the positive charge Of
the nucleus?
Let us stop a moment and con
siier carefully just what this
mr,ns. Actually it means deter
lining the number Of electrons
grounding the nucleus in the
3ormal or neutral state of the
stom. For the number of cleo

oG'ating about the nucleus, which

80 the neutral state of the
IN lie equal to the number of
positive charges in the nu-

from observations on alpha par
ticles, For instance, in very
Snrnpie case, he showed that a
heIium atom, when expelled as
an alpha particle, carries a posi-.

since there is strong ground for
believing an alpha particle is a
helium nucleus deprived of it's
electrons, it follows that the elcc.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

IF men and women only did
their Jobs we'll this world Of
ours would surely he a happier
place in which to live.
But carelessness, inefficiency,
lack of interest and a general
tendency of trying to get through
the days work with as little ex-
penditure of energy as possible,
and as quickly as possible, un-
fortunately are traits which mott
vate altogether too many of its
population.
For instance, you order some
merchandise from a shop. and
when you unpack the bundle at
home you find it Is not exactly
what you bought. or perhaps even
selected.
You have a workman do 4 job,
and he does not perform the work
exactly as YOU bargained for.
You are promised this or that by
merchants and others, only TO
find that the promise was a con-
venient way of putting you off and
avoiding personal bother.
Truthfulness, reliability and de-
pendability are not as frequently
met with as might be for the good
of all concerned. For surely 1t ls
a fact that If the Individual hlm'
self does not take pride in what
he works at, so that he wants 10
do better on the job than his
neighbor. not only does he become
actually tired covering up his mis-
takes, but he eventually under
mines his own self-esteem.
Out attitude toward our own
work is a fair indicator of what
we think of ourselves. II we
despise the work we do We also
tend to despise ourselves for
doing it.
Millions and millions OF min
utes are wasted each day by
persons who don't care how they
handle their job so long as they
get away with 1t.
Women. in particular, are Of
tenders in this respect.
Many of them only get job
as stop-gap after all. They
work in a commercial or manu-
featuring field in lieu of mar
riage. They take no special IN
terest in their work, and even
if they become proficient in 1t,
thew leave it promptly and with
out regret as soon as the pro-
verbal Fright man" comes along.
One should not. of course,
criticize a woman if she leaves
her work to become wife and
mother. Nor can We say that
all women take but minimum
interest in what they are being
paid for doing.
Rut If must be admitted the
average woman does not view
her Job the same as a man does.
To him it is A sort Of career,
life's affair. To her 1t is often
kind of side issue.
A careless and indifferent at
titude toward ones work makes
for mediocrity. 1t brings the
level of efficiency downward.
It likewise makes the indi-
vidal whether a man or woman,
discontented.
And not only does it hurt the
work, it hurts the customers In
the bargain.
But when we find fault with
the efficiency Of others as their
work comes in contact with our
interests let us pause a moment
and examine ourselves. Are we

Young Bill Taylor's fifteen. You
know how kids are at fifteen. An
awkward. gangly youngster al
ways spilling himself all over the
place. Dreamy. irresponsible, lazy,
too. He'll hardly move out of his
own tracks and sometimes he does
not seem quite bright.
Young Bill gets AIS goat. He
raises Cain with him-nags and
lectures hinl--roars at him-ridi-
cules him-tclls him to snap into
it or I'll knock your fool block
off" Once or twice, Al says, he's
given him a good whaling but
it doesn't do any good. The more
