SENIOR CLASS PLAY
IS WELL PRESENTED

The presentation of "The Mummy
and the Mumps" on Friday evening
was very creditable. A cast of ten
interpreted their various parts as per-
fectly as amateurs could. The play in
itself had an interesting plot and new
er Jagged in movement from the first
to the last.
Abbey Mccoy in the role Of Agatha
Laidlow very ably carried out the
part of the manager of a fashionable
girls school. She did not once lose
her character, and showed an excel
lent climax to her play acting car
eer in high school, Robert Zeidler as
her nephew, Billy Laidlow lived his
part with zest and finish. He and
Loyal Gunderson in the role of Fran
els Briscoe held the center Of inter-
est throughout the play. Especially
clever was the feminine disguise that
Loyal played. The three girls, Lu-
ellie Goodman, Alice Jacobsen and
Winnifred Kelly all interpreted their
parts neatly. Lillian Christensen in
terpreted the keen-eyed reporter very
nicely.
Arnold Peterson did surprisingly
well in the role of Sir Hector Fish.
The whole play involved about him
and he maintained his "hole and cor-
ner' part throughout. He offered an
amusing contrast to Loyal Gunderson
in the impersonation of Miss Laid
low. Erwin Nelson made a good
sheriff. The biggest comedy part
was played by Charles Johnson as
the bell-hop, Racker. His walk and
carriage were as natural on the stage
as if he had always done it.
An act from the sixth grade, a
vocal solo by Mary Kimball and n
by Eugene Schyttner of Watford City,
N. d., were the features between acts.
Some comment should be made on
the efficient work Of the stage and
property managers: Eugene Peter
son, George Fiske, Dorothy Ator and
Valerie Lee. Miss Njaa coached the
play, assisted by Miss Dyste.

OF COMMUNISTS SEEN

WASHINGTON-May 4.-(UP)-
Congressional investigation of alleged
communists and communistic %activi-
ties in the United States is virtually
assured, Representative Fish, repub-
lican, New Yorl announced today.
The house rules committee has
promised a favorable report on his
resolution asking appointment of a
special committee with power to con
duct such an inquiry, Fish said.
Publication by New York police of

Representative Johnson, republican,

Special to The Herald

Special TO The Herald
An army, to attain and maintain
efficiency, must be we'll fed. The truth
of that statement has always been
recognized by Uncle Sam, and his
soldiers are undoubtedly the best ra-
toned Of any in the world.
Already, bids have been opened by
the State Quartermaster for supplies
for the Annual Summer Training
Camp of the 1851. Infantry. While
the camp period is only two weeks, it
is surprising what 1900 husky, young
Montanians consume in that length
OF time. The best grades of all food
stuffs is insisted or by the purchasing
officer, and the most careful super
vision is exercised by the company
officers to assure a we'll balanced
healthful ration for the members of
their commands.
The list Of articles purchased last
year, indicates not only q healthful
variety of the soldiers, but the house
wife can readily see, that from them
can be planned wholesome, appetizing
meals, as good as any enjoyed at
home or in a good restaurant.
A list of the principal purchases
made by the Quartermaster, Major
Petersen, follows:
81 cases, tall cans Condensed Milk;
as cases Tomatoes; 38 cases Corn; 81
case Peas; 7 cases Pork and Beans;
10 cases, 5 Id. can Jam; 6 cases, 10

Mills Fight Static.

TENS Of thousands of volts of electricity
whirling around at high speed in the midst
OF highly inflammable dust or gas and the stage
is all set for disaster.
This is a condition which has long existed
in industry, and many fires and explosions
testify to the dangerous nature Of the situation.
The trouble all lies in the fact that belts rubber

create static electricity at the instant OF
separation as the belt leaves the pulley. This
continues with the amount Of the static stored
up, until highly dangerous quantities are present
and sooner or later win throw of spark
The Bureau Of Chemistry of the Department
OF Agriculture undertook to study and correct
this evil, and the work has been successful.
First to give some idea of what they found one
test showed 10000 volts of static stored up in
an ordinary belt enough to make a spark all
most an inch long.
The question of eliminating static from the
pulleys was simple, for the employment of metal
pulleys attached to shafting or machinery which
was properly grounded eliminated the storing
up of static. The belts presented more Diff
cult problem The use of metallic belts was out
of the question, Of course, and it remained to
ind means Of eliminating the storing of the
static in the rubber and leather belts in COM
mon use.
This was accomplished through the use of
belt dressing containing metallic ingredients,
which conducted the static and prevented its
being stored up. This dressing for rubber belts
consisted Of lamp black and spar varnish the
filler of which contains mineral spirits and
carbon tetrachloride, non-inhammable mix
ture.
For leather belts it was found necessary to
use another compound, consisting of liquid fish
glue, glycerin, Sulphonated castor oil, water,
lamp black and ammonium hydroxide.

Compass Plants.

THE so-called compass plants get their name
from a habit Of growth brought about
through self-preservation
The plants, including the rosn weeds and the
prickly lettuce. usually produce fairly broad
leaves. which grow in q horizontal position. In
sections where the air is particularly dry and
the sunlight intense one edge of the leaf
usually curls straight upward, in order that Q
thin edge may be presented to the whitening
rays Of the sun.
BY this means, the hatter surfaces face the
morning and evening rays of tthe sun, which
are, Of course, less intense while to the midday
sun. the plant presents only the thin edge.
In sections where this growing habit is CONF
mon, the effect Is striking

he thought that it had taken him at least 20
