Allow House Side to-.
Catch Up.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
The Senate agriculture committee
took day of from Us farm relief
hearing today and gave the House COM
mittee. which began two, days later than
it did, chance to catch UP.
i. Taking advantage Of this opportunity,
the House leaders were prepared not
only to work all day but continue the
hearing of ideas from spokesman for
various branches of agriculture well into
the night If necessary.
Chairman McNary Of the Senate COM
mittee, In announcing the decision to
have no hearing today, explained that
all of the out-of-town witnesses avail
able had been heard. Louis j. Taber,
master of the National Grange, will be
heard Monday, he said, and he also
hopes to hear Secretary Hyde next
week.
To Get Right of Way.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the new
Republican leader, meanwhile has made
it clear that farm aid legislation will
be given right Of way in the special ses-
sion of Congress which begins April Is.
At the same time he took occasion to
make an emphatic answer" to COM
plants that President Hoover has not
formulated the actual terms of the new
bill and to statements that he might be
induced to favor the equalization fee,
which caused his predecessor to veto
the two McNary- Haugen bills.
I The new bill, Senator Watson de-
clared, will follow closely the lines laid
down IN the Republican platform and
in Mr.. Hooyer's campaign speeches at
West Branch, Iowa, and Elizabethtown,
Tenn, and will not provide for an
equalization fee.
Farm Board Called For.
Mr.. Hoover's campaign speeches
called for establishment of a Federal
farm board empowered to help CO.
operative marketing associations and
build up sterilization agencies, with
initial capital from the Government, but
without subsidy, fee or tax on the
farmer.

ciple was not likely to. enter into the

thority to be granted the proposed farm

considered by majority of the COM

lOF DIXON GOES TO WASHINGTON

The appointment of Jos. M. Dixon as assistant secretary
Of the interior means much for Montana and the other Yves
tern states where the people have so many dealings with the
federal government thru that department.
Mr.. Dixon has a very intimate understanding OF western
problem. He was in the senate when the reclamation service
was e4.a,ished and aided in the starting OF most OF Monta-
mas nation projects. AS a member OF Congress tor sew
eral terms and as governor of the state tor four years he has
had lone experience with the relations of the western people
TO the federal government. He will face the duties OF his Of
ice with a better understanding of the problems in the land
states than a man who has not spent a life time out IN the
West could have.
That sympathetic understanding of the western country
is needed at Washington. The West has often suffered be-
cause of the fact that the human element in the situation was
not understood by theorists from other sections OF the
country who were dealing with questions involving the
rights of people in the Trans-Mississippi country.
Toe Dixon is one Of the ablest men Montana could otter
the nation for a public service. His fitness for a position OF
responsibility is unquestioned. His many friends in the state
are glad to know of the honor that has been given him and
they rejoice in his selection.
But the first and last reaction to the appointment is the
same. 1t is a very satisfactory selection from the viewpoint
of the welfare of the far western states. We know that we
have a man in court there who will understand our problems
and will be ready to give us the benefit of his knowledge of
our conditions. A sympathetic friend in the interior depart
ment is highly desirable at all times from the standpoint Of
Montana and the West.
President Hoover made no mistake in his selection OF
Joe Dixon for a responsible place in his administration.

A FORTY-FIVE CENT AN ACRE TAX

An investigation was made of the wheat smut damage
in the Northwest this season. In the states Of Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Montana it amounted to about As cents an acre,
on all the acreage of wheat in those states. That is a heavy
tax. There would be a real hhowl if any official board should
slap an added tax of As cents an acre on all Of the grain grow
ers of this state. Yet such is the impost that farmers put on
themselves. Not all farmers pay that tax. That means that
all those, who do pay, pay mere on the average than As cents.
And the worst of the tax is that it can be escaped. 1t ia
not obligatory. In fact it is a voluntary affair. By treating
seed wheat by modern contro! methods, that tax can be avoid
ed Any farmer who does not treat seed for smut takes the
chance that that smut tax will be levied on him.
All he has to do is to ask his county agent for particulars
and he can get the information on how to avoid this unneces-
sary tax.

Eastern peoples with whom the Romans came
In contact as their ships traded along the Medi-
terranean and touched at Roman ports.
When julius Caesar invaded England in IS
BIC, he found the natives there wearing o
tunic coat that fitted the body closely and
short pantaloons. The Phoenicians and trad.
ers from the East had carried their styles to
this bit OF land hard by the gates Of Ultima
Thule.
So the trousers and coats of men today have
an ancient and honorable background. But
were many notifications which showed man up
as a vain and decorous strutter. From the
East, along with spices, fine linens, silks and
other Injuries, brilliant colors and ornamental
ton came to the West. AS result, through
the Middle Ages We glimpse man decked out
with all the glory Of peacock. BY the fifteenth
century this foppShness and conceit Of dress
had reached heights too ridiculous for words.
Costumes were so elaborate and so burden
some that they entirely concealed the human
figure.
AS a result of this, reaction in the matter Of
dress set In. The Renaissance brought changes.
The characteristic dress of the man of this
period became the doublet, hose and cape
Silk stockings became the vogue; they reached
from the hips to the toe. The doublet came
In the forerunner of the present-day waistcoat.

Gus as it may seem. was born of war Gen.
turies before the birth of Christ the Assyrians
scourge of the world at that time, found upon
the addition of horse troops to their armies
that the skirt, then worn by men, was impos-
sible. They split it. The divided skirt then
and there came into existence. Within a
hundred years or more this split skirt became
a double legged skirt-a pair of trousers The
advantage of these trousers soon became ap-
parent to the laboring classes, and as a con-
sequence were adopted.
Popular, however, as became the divided
skirt and two-legged skirt of the Assyrians, the
men Of Greece never took to them. The earliest
dress of the Greeks consisted of a rectangular
piece OF cloth, called the "himation." Later
the Chiffon" Q close fitting, sleeveless shirt
reaching slightly below the knees, came to be
worn under the "himation."
The Romans, who drew their civilization
from the Greeks, followed them closely in the
matter of dress.
But even when Rome was rising to the height
Of her power, when the tunic and the toga were
Understandable garments, trousers slowly
were winning their place as an article Of APP
parel for men through the influence Of the
far-fung Roman legions, who began to wear
them as a matter of convenience in the field.
The Roman armies, as they began their north
ern invasions, found the flowing garment too
cumbersome AS a consequence, there was
adopted, as appropriate for warfare, in 'addi-
ton to the tunic, ught-ftting trousers that
reached to the calf of the leg. These were

opinion. Not since the days of ancient Greece
when Atlantis raced with Paris for the golden
apple, has womankind enjoyed such physical
well-being. Free from heavy garments, she
feels freer mentally, and that mental freedom,
conducive to the Punishment of sex-conscious-
ness, has led her to enter into sports with
abandon. Today women of all ages motor,
swim, play golf and tennis. The pigment of
the wallf1ower has been exchanged for the tan
of the sun.
If woman can buy health and beauty at the
expense of clothes why cannot man? Woman
herself as one astute psychologist has analysed
the situation, has brought about the idea of
dress reform for men. For what healthy, full
blooded American girl of today wants to be
wooed by an enaemic. non -Sport-loving man?
Not one! So it's up to man to catch up with
his sister of the short skirt, bobbed hair and
minimum apparel.
Is the emancipation of woman to be fol-
lowed by the emancipation of man? That's
the big question of the hour in this furry
about dress reform for men. Why should not
men cut out some of the weight that they are
daily carrying around with them? "A foolish
male" says one enterprising editor who has
entered into the fray grandiloquently, car
rieS pounds ounces of clothing, while the
female Of the species goes about coolly in 2
pounds 10 ounces Of clothing. The weight Of
mems clothes is thus about three times that of
women. The man of brains is grossly over
clad"
CLOTHING is a product of civilization. The
first man and the first woman wore no
clothing. Throughout the world today there
may be found peoples to whom clothing is
anathema. This is not to say that the twen-
tieth century man or woman wishes to discard
all clothing. 1t is only to bring home the fact
that such clothing we do wear today is the
product of evolution, and that any step that
may be taken in the matter of dress reform
for men should not be held to be more revo-
lutionary than the discarding by both men and
women in the times of Charles and after of
Eizabethan costumes.
The idea Of covering the body was adopted
by the primitive man for protection. 1t was
cold in his cave and on the hunt and the
brambleS tore his body. To meet the situa-
tion he evolved q garment of skins to cover his
nakedness. Personal adornment may have en-
tered into his decision to some extent, but
surely not the question of modesty.

a small of powdered
pumice mixed with ~toothpaste and
brushed lightly over the teeth every
two months will remove light stains.
Used more often than once In four
or five weeks the pumice is apt to
mar the enamel.
Dental floss is another beauty aid
that preserves the teeth. Foods
accumulate between the teeth and ii
is only when such floss is properly
used that the accumulation can be
removed. A gentle brushing should
follow the use Of the dental floss.
There are a number Of good mouth
washes on the market and either
your dentist or druggist will gladly
recommend a reliable brand.
Then too, there is the use Of vari-
GUS toothbrushes. The different
makes have different materials and
shapes, whether one Is better than
another is, Of course, a matter Of
individual choice. A splendid idea
is to have three or four brushes in
use all the time. Thus the different
shapes enable one to reach every
spot on the teeth.
For those who smoke, either men
or women, I suggest that you ask
your dentist for a dentifrice that
will remove all discoloration as il
forms on the teeth.
Just as different skins require
different treatment, the teeth need
individual attention If a discourag.
