from the Pacific the following year.
Then followed period of fur trad

Brief History of Montana Contained
in Dept. of Agriculture Booklet

The history of Montana in a nut
shell is contained in the new booklet
issued by the state department OF
agriculture, division of publicity, and
will be useful to anyone who desires
to know the outstanding facts relat-
ing to Montana since the whites came
on the continent. Its history fol-
lows:
The greater part of Montana's
area, that asset of the Continental di-
vide, was from 1852 to 1862 in the
possession of France, was owned by
Spain, from 1852 to 1900, and again
by France from 1900 to 1903, when,
as portion of the Louisiana Pur-
chase, it was acquired by the United
States.

AIR TOUR WAS TEST
OF PLANES POWER
1929 Reliability Cruise Won
by Livingston.

Deiroit.-Forty planes finished al
Detroit 5000-mie tour around the
United States and into Canada. Meas
ured in the terms Of each planes indi
yidual flight, this represents 10000
miles of flying accomplished without
undue difficulty, under competitive CON
ditions and without a single serious
accident.
This is'one summary of the achieve
ments of the National Air Reliability
Tour OF 1929, Which was won by John
Livingston, of Aurora ILL.,, with a
Whirlwind-powered Waco biplane.
These tours, which were made annual
aviation events before the period of
spectacular flying started in 1927, have
lost much of their appeal as sentimen-
tai flights and attract little public at
tention.
1929 Tour Closely Watched.
This year, however, the tour was
closely followed in Wall Street and
other centers where aviation projects
have been undertaken. The tour
which is in no sense a speed contest
seeks as far as possible to bring out
such arplane characteristics as quick
take-0f1s, slow landings and load car
rying, factors which airpanes in com
mercial use must possess if they are to
compete with the other machines of
transportation
The leaders al the tours conclusion
were listed as follows:

From Jazz to Comedy.

COMEDY Is being taken up seriously
by Paul Whiteman, the dance or
chestra man, with his advent into the
musical pictures.
Early reports that he would refuse
to abandon his established role as q
seriouS-faced orchestra conductor, in
dulging only now and then in bit of
polite humor between dance numbers,
were refuted a few days ago in Holly
wood by Whiteman himself
In his talking picture for Universal,
THE King Of jazz" now nearing COM
pletion, the round-faced, small-mus-
tached musician will be seen as come
dian, off the orchestra platform as we'll
as on, according to the story.
Il believe I have a funny photo
graphic personality" the band conduc-
tor admitted
Comedy he added. "is something
that I never would have thought of on
the stage. but in talking pictures one
can feel safe. Attempts at doing any,
thing that turns out badly can be de-
stroyed. 1t never needs be seen by the
public. Only what has been tested and
what one can be sure Of can be brought
to the audience"
Transformations of other performers
from one type of role to another were
cited. AL Jolson, for instance, began
to acquire a great deal of pathos when
ne began making talking and singing
pictures. John Barrymore. now that
he has found his voice on the screen, is
said to give promise of bringing his
native ironic humor along with 1t.

Differ as to odd Ironsides.'

CANON WILLIAM SHEAFE CHASE
has just been called "a leader
without an army" in return for his
demand before the committee on in
terstate affairs In the Senate last year
that Will H. Hays and the alleged pro-
gated.
The charge was made by Carl E.
Mlll1ken, secretary of the Motion Pic
ture Producers and Distributors As
ISOLATION Of America, who added that
Canon Chase has already given Con-
gresS one example of the illuminating
quality Of his mind"
Canon Chase, according to Milliken,
used the film Old Ironsides' as an
example Of an appeal that had been
made to 1.-THE gutter on the theory that
you will get more profit If you appeal
to the gutter instincts of humanity"
Mill1ken said the picture "Old Iron
sides" had been made with the CO.
operation Of the United States Navy,
and won the Endorsement Of the New
York Board Of Education. the New
York City Federation of Women's
Clubs, the National Society of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
and other groups.
1T is probable" he declared, "that
no other mind in the wide world found
NTH in Old Ironsides' except DR..
Chase's."

Good Times Are Here.

TED LEWIS came to Washington with
the mental suggestion that every
BODY should be happy, and If everybody
wasn't happy he wanted to know it.
Representative Sol Bloom keen in his
day and generation, now seeks to broad
cast the slogan, in order that everybody
may be happy, that good times are
here"
In a letter to Nicholas M. schenck,
president OF the Loew enterprises, he
compliments Loew'S Theaters generally
In responding to the appeal of the
President to arouse and spread broad
cast to the widest limits throughout
the land the spirit Of optimism and en-
thusiasm for the coming year. In the
opinion OF Mr.. Bloom q wonderful or
portunity to do this is seen in the
Loew Good Times Festival, which will
run through the month of January and
enlist the interest Of q great host Of
our good people here and elsewhere.
Now" says the New York Represent
alive, that you have started this good
work, 1t would be appreciated, I know,
If you could have the other theaters
throughout the country work with you
with this wonderful idea"
Special programs are being worked
out, 1t announced, at both the Palace
and the Columbia, Lcew theaters, to
impress the idea suggested upon the
minds Of the general public, and those
who know, from President Hoover down
to the humblest thinking citizen, also
knows that there is nothing good or
bad, but thinking makes it So"
1t Is sometimes we'll to be scientific
even with apparently the simplest Of
situations.

Artist Turns Playwright.

DWIGHT TAYLOR, author Of "Tre-
- velyn's Ghost" which comes to the
National Theater Monday night, is not
only the son of Laurette Taylor, one Of
Americas best beloved stars, but is an
artist Of considerable prominence. His
silks, designed for q prominent silk
house. modern and very American In
pattern, have already established his
artistic qualities.
Brought up in the atmosphere Of the
theater-his step-fatfer was Hartley
Manners, who wrote plays for his
mother-it was inevitable that Dwight
should turn to the theater in one phase
or another.
1t might have seemed more natural
for him to have become a scenic de-
signer, for his drawings have gained
considerable notice. He studied at the
National Academy and the Art Stu
dents League and did some work
abroad. He has dabbled in murals.
But he has always thought In terms
Of words, of actions, as a result of child
hood days spent back-stage. When
only Is years old he began writing
plays, writing and destroying. How
ever, three of them struggled through
to completion. Two will have almost
simultaneous production - "Trevelyn's
Ghost" on the stage. under direction OF
A. L. Erlanger and George C. Tyler
and Hail Break" in the talkies, under
sponsorship Of the Warmers. The third
also completed and being considered for
production, bears the title "Lipstick."
"Trevelyn's Ghost" was first pro-
duced at Scarborough, N. Y. last Spring
for a tryout, and there 1t was seen BY
Mr.. Tyler, who arranged for its metro
politan production.
'Trevelyn's Ghost Mr.. Taylor says
'is pure nonsense, pure farce, approx
mating, hope, these farces of others
