Crisis Is Near

WE are approaching something
w OF crisis in politics and it is
not wholly due to prohibition,
though some people would like to
think so.
A lax attitude toward law enforce
ment has extended not only into
other fields, but has been accom-
panied by lax attitude toward most
every kind Of moral and social OBJ
legation.
An outsider might think we had
become prudish, if not puritanicaL
because Of the lip music, but he
wouldn't have to dig very deep TO
find something worse.
For every positive, deliberate,
conscious offense, we have suffered
from thousand crimes of careless
ness, indifference, or neglect. and
nowhere has the malady been so
virulent as in our political life.

This has been demonstrated abundantly. The ac-

Does the moon have two faces

Does the moon have two faces?
The moon is a sphere, just like
the earth, except that it is much
smaller. 1t can not be said, there
fore, that the moon has two faces.
1t has a surface. We on the earth
never see but one half, or a little
more, of the surface of the moon,
because it turns on it's axis in exact
ly the time it requires to revolve
once around the earth in its orbit;
therefore it always turns the same

Ancient English Bridge
Credited to Evil One

Tradition credits the devil with the
construction OF Tarr steps. prehis-
torlc "clapper" bridge which crosses
the River Barrie In remote part of
Exmoor, and said to be the largest and
probably the oldest of Its kind In
Britain.
The legend says that 1t was built In
4 single night, and the devil, reserving
the right OF way exclusively to himself,
proclaimed that he would destroy the
first living thing that attempted to
cross.
A holy man, who dared to flaunt the
evil one, cunningly sent cat frst
across the bridge, whereupon the un-
fortunate animal was torn to pieces.
The spell was broken and the holy
man took possession.
Whatever the origin, the bridge Is
OF wonderful construction. considering
1t was built In an age when mechani-
cal power was unknown. 1t measures
10 feet across, and has II spans, rest

Face of Dead Empress
Reproduced on Carpet

OF MI the carpets In creation. the
most famous In that known as the
Mumlaz Mahal carpet. which was
made to order ut the earnest desire of
Shah Iehan. says an article In the IL
Illustrated Weekly of India. Soon after
the untlmely death of the beloved en-
press. Shah Jehan commissioned his
court painter to reproduce her. like
ness from his memory. The emperor
was not satisfied with the painting and
so contemplated having the likeness of
his dearly loved wife reproduced on
carpet. He himself drew a rough
sketch OF the design meant for this
carpet. The weavers came from Per-
sIa; the materials for the carpet were
also imported from that country. The
most rigid secrecy In the execution OF
this project was necessary lest the
religious prejudices OF the orthodox
subjects be aggravated.
The Tai or the Mumtax Mahal car
pet measures 20 feet by 20 feet and
contains 100000 knots. 1t took 20
years for Its accomplishment. The
likeness Of the empress WAS repro
duced on this carpet and also that OF
the principal members of her family.

GERMAN STUDENT ATTENDS
MONTANA SCHOOL OF MINES

BUTTE, July 25.-From the re-
nowned old mining academy at Frei-
berg in Germany to the Montana
School of Mines, called the "Freiberg
of America" comes Harry E. Kan
prath, young engineer, to accept re-
search fellowship in ore dressing, ac-
cording to an announcement made yes
terday by President A. Thomson of the
Butte mining college.
The young German recently arrived
in Butte from jenkins, KY, where he
was employed by coal mining COM
pany, and will study Montana mines
and mills before beginning his re-
search studies next September. He
came to America four months ago as an
exchange student from Germany. He
was graduated in 1926 from the Berga-
kademie at Frieberg, the oldest min
ing school in the world, founded in
1765 for training the miners of Saxony.
He was for two years superintendent
of a silver mine near Freiberg and for
similar period was mining engineer
for a gold and arsenic mine in Silesia.
He was highly recommended to the
Montana School of Mines by the Berg
academic and several mining CON-
panies
kamprath first wrote to Frederick C..
Gilbert, Professor of Metallurgy at the
School Of Mines, asking about opportu-
mites for work in the Butte mines so
that he might observe practical modern
American methods Subsequently, A.
M. Gaudin, research professor of Ore
Dressing found out that Kamprath has
been especially interested in ore dress
ing studies, and offered him the School
Of Mines fellowship.
Kamprath will be associated with
Harry B. Anderson, who was awarded
the Cornelius F. Kelley research fell
lowship in ore dressing for the coming
year and who received his master Of
science degree in metallurgy at the
commencement exercises last June. The
effect of particle size in the flotation
process will be one of the important
questions investigated by these men.

PLANNING THE EXPENDITURES.

| While public officials are elected te
spend the money contributed in taxes
under the county budget law, every
citizen is given an opportunity to help
plan the expenditures.
The county commissioners meet al
a budget making board at the court
house ON August 6, when they will
have completed a tentative budget OF
estimate of the amount of money
necessary to operate the various de-
partments and activities of the county
government for the coming year. A
the money is raised by the levying oil
taxes on all property within the county
those who have to pay the taxes have
the right to look over this budget and
to make any suggestions which they
desire. They may think a certain de-
partment is too extravagant or that
unnecessary help is being employed
or things undertaken which are not
necessary The time to help the county
officers save the tax dollars is when
the budget is being compiled.
The budget Of last year, showing the
expenditures for the fiscal year, is
, available to those who desire to ex-
anime it and compare it with the ten
tative budget which is being prepared
for the coming year When the annual
report is published, there are always
many items which the average citizen
does not understand, and it is a good
plan for taxpayers to visit the court
house, compare the budgets and ask
their officers to explain any -expandi-
lures which are not definitely ex-
planned in the report
County officials want suggestions
from taxpayers and they are glad to
explain, as best they can, the necessi-
ties for certain expenditures This aids
them later when the tax notices 20 out
as citizens who take sufficient interes,
to attend the budget meeting August
6, will better understand the tax not
ices and do less complaining about the
amount of cash they are going to have
to put up to pay the expenses OF the
