SHERWOOD SOLVES
 DESERT PROBLEM
Museum Director Gives His
 Answer to Edison Question

New York. Aug. ? (UP)-Dr. George H. Sherwood, director of the American Museum of Natural His tory, announced his solution yester- day to one of the most difficult of the questions in Thomas A. Edison's eXamination-the problem of the party in the desert.
 The question given to 49 boys as sumed party was lost in the desert with only enough food and water to allow three of it's members to reach civilization. The boys were told they were head of the expedition and had ito decide which three of the fol- lowing they would save: A brilliant scientist, 60 years old; two half breed guides, 5S and 32 years old, respectively; the scientists wife in terested mainly in society matters, age 39; her son, 6; the al you are engaged to marry; your best friend, a young man of your own age who has shown great promise in the field of science; yourself.
 Gives Reply
 Sherwood's answer was:
 Presumably if anyone is to reach civilization at all there must be one guide selected for the trip. If the two guides were equally effective, l would select the younger man as probably possessing the greater stamina. Under such circumstances there is no doubt in my mind but that the leader should remain Gin the desert). There is little probabil- ity that the son. could stand the hardship. He would be too poor a risk. His mother probably would not wish to be separated from him and it would not be advisable to separate them. l should not select the sCien- list of SO since presumably most of his work would have been achieved. 1 should select the young scientist,

Final population figures for
Montana have just been issued by

1880, according to the Fifteenth
Census, was 537,606, which repre-

Two Cars Collide;
No Bad Consequences

What might have been a serious
accident occurred last Friday al
ternoon at the intersection of fifth
avenue and Dawson. Mrs. Mary
Laroque and Marie Laroque were
in a a going east on Dawson.
Howard Wood was driving south
on Fifth. Neither driver saw the
other car until it was too late to
avoid a collision. Howard Wood
swerved his truck as much as
possible, but at that the Laroque
car was struck and the bumper
torn off. Mrs. Laroque and Marie
were considerably shaken up.
Young Wood stopped his truck as
soon as possible. came back and
looked after the Laroques, taking
them to the doctor. Snow on the
street made it impossible for eth
er the car or truck to stop at once,
it may be that neither driver
at fault. The possibility of a
collision, however, should make
drivers exercise more than ordin-
airy caution when approaching ain
intersection.

wrested a victory from the forces
Of Great Britain and in a few
short hours lifted the spirits Of his
countrymen from the despair into
which they had been plunged by a
series OF defeats and r%everses.
With a sure swiftness that inspir-

enemies, the American Command

force Of 2401 C~ontinentals, crossed
the dangerous, ice filed Delaware
river, and, in a fury Of desper-

commanded by Colonel Rail at
