BILLINGS, Mont.-Hope that lin

world has become convinced of a

last Saturday by Mrs. Urban F. Dite-
man, wife of the Montana eattleman-
aviator who attempted to skim the
Atlantic ocean last October, when
she was shown a dispatch relating the
finding of message purporting to
have been written by her husband
just before his little Golden Hind"
sank into the ocean.
While Mrs. Diteman said the note
found in bottle by a schoolboy near
Bantry, Ireland, carried words and
phrases used by the father of her
two small children, she would not adj
NIT the message came from him. She
was aware that other messages sup
posedly received from lost planes and
ships in the past have proved hoaxes.
Describing Diteman's handwriting
as distinctive, she expressed desire
to see the message for Identification.
Written on a half sheet of paper
found in the bottle were there words

French Superstitions

re. a considerable extent, the French
peasants still attach credence to the
evil eye, to witches, to were-wolves and.
to other weird medieval superstitions,
in spite of years Of persistent effort to
eradicate these primitive beliefs. In
many remote villages OF Normandy
and Brittany belief In heather deities
also survives. Sacred trees are the
object of midnight worship, when
young girls gather to dance in the
moonlight, as in the days of Druidical
heathenism. Healers and medicine
men abound in the rural districts and
certain animals still are treated with
reverential awe. Cases involving SUI
perstition are constantly coming to
the attention of the French courts.

Puzzle Presented to
English Legal Minds

A barrister contributes to the Times,
In a letter, an ingenious and appar-
emily insoluble puzzle, which may be
summarized thus: says to B, will
teach you to be q barrister; half fee
now, and the other half if you win
your first case. B was taught, and
called to the bar. but failed to do any.
thing at all for two years. A then
said to himself: If I sue him for the
installment of my fee, and win the
case, he will have to pay me; if
lose, then he has won his first case,
and will therefore have to pay me.
That seems unanswerable until we get
BIS view: If wins, then I have lost
my first case and need not pay him;
and If he loses, then by the Judgment
of the court I need not pay him. So
that is that; and there is no evident
solution. Weekly Scotsman.

Canadian Rituminou. Sands

In what is Known as the McMurray

that eventually they may prove to be
Of real national Importance.
1t is thought the bituminous sand in
Canada is In many respects similar to
the oil shale in the United States and
that the development of bituminous
sand should be considered quite as Sc
riously as that of the oil shales. Yield
per ton from the latter will, in some In
stances, be higher than from bitumi-
nous sand, but, from the point Of view
of mining costs and certain other fac.
tors, the development Of bitumf.
nous sands will probably have advan-
tages over oil shales. -

Zouaye is the name of tribe of
Berbers in Algeria. In 1881 the French
recruited two battalions of Berber sol.
diers, who were uniformed in their ma
tive costume. In about ten years they
were converted into an infantry branch
of the French army and the uniform
retained Before the World war there
were four regiments of zouaves still
in the French army. The first service
that these troops saw outside Algeria
was in the Crimean war. They at
tracted much attention because of
their uniforms and their fighting quail
tiles, and volunteer military organiza-
lions throughout the world adopted the
uniform, or a modification Of it. and
the drills and tactics. There were
several of these zouaye companies in
the Civil war, and they were taken

lens of Montana Superintendent
Johnson stressed need of attracting
more settlers of the right kind and
intensive development of irrigated
sections of the state. In support of
these arguments he brought out many
points.
Primary requisites, he said, for
successful farming under irrigation
are proper utilization of land and wa
ter. A great need in rapid develop
ment of lands now farmed is for spec
ialized educational work. Superin-
tendent Johnson lauded the extension
personnel, but pointed out that only
limited furds are available for this
work and said the personnel is not
able to adequately cope with the sit
uatlon because of lack of finances.
He advocated extension of the present
program, particularly in irrigated
sections, so that agricultural stand
