The log house in west Libby occu-
pied by the Enmons Matthews and
Garfield Easter families was practically
DESTROYED by fire Monday afternoon
When discovered the fire had gained
such Roadway that the two women
were unable to save much Of their be-
longings although piano was removed
from the burning building. The two fam
lilies, occupying opposite ends Of the
building, lost practically all of their
furniture, clothes and other personal
belongings. Mrs. Matthews and Mrs.
Easter are sisters Of Mrs. Fred Goose
law and they are now stopping tenn
porarily at the Gooselaw home.
The building was owned by Halsted
Remp. The roof and interior of the
building was burned but most Of the
four log walls are left standing Mr.
Remp wishes to thank the fire depart
ment for the good work done
This fire provided opportunity to try
out and prove the value Of the fire
pump built several months ago under
the direction OF Fire Chief Hoffman
This building was beyond the protec-
ton of the city water system and hence
the fire pump was called into use,
water being pumped from the river
Chief Hoffman states that the pump
threw large stream Of water under
60 lbs. pressure for over an hour, thus
saving the building from complete de-
struction. Had the alarm been turned
in sooner, it undoubtedly would have
been possible to save much more from
the flames by using the pump. 1t was
good example of the wisdom Of hav-
ing this auxiliary equipment for just
such incidents as this 1t is said that
had the pump not been available the
fire would have spread into nearby
timber and would undoubtedly have
started fire in the woods

T Asst year the United States led the world in
lead
Nearly 60 per cent of the entire production
. of the world came from this country, making q
radical shift of recent years from the former
ratio of about 10 per cent TO Europes nearly
90 per cent
Statisticians estimate that prior TO 1900 no
more than about 5000, 900 tons of lead had been
mined, while since that time the production is
set at 100000 tons, of which the United
States has supplied nearly 80 per cent
The useful properties OF lead have served
mankind since prehistoric days, lead as a con-
stituent Of bronze being used by ancient people
as far back as the time of the Swiss lake
jewellers. In all probability, however, these peo-
pie did not know lead as a metal but simply
used it incidentally in connection with the
copper ore with which it was found
Within historic times the use of lead dates
back to the earliest records, according to data
assembled by the Bureau of Mines. Credit for
the discovery Of lead IS given to King Midas
of Phrygia, in Asia Minor by Pliny Midas
reign was supposed to have antedated the birth
of Christ by 1000 years. There are other au-
thorities, however, who declare that the Chinese
used hattened lead as money a thousand years
earlier. The Red Sea vicinity yielded lead to
the early Egyptians, and the AsSyrians are
known to have used lead as early as-the fif-
teenth century before Christ. Moses mentions
lead in the Bible in some places.

Amer1cuu Lead Production.

The Phoenicians worked lead mines in Cyprus,
Sardinia and Spain, and the ancient Greeks are
supposed to have obtained the metal from the
silver mines of Laurium. The ancient BritonS
mined lead and traded it to the Phoenicians
for products OF the East, and the Carthaginians
engaged in lead mining after the PhOenicians.
The Romans at the height of their power
carried on lead mining In what is now Belgium,
England, France, Rumania, Sardinia, Spain
and Italy. Pipe found in the ruins of Pompen
testifies to the extent of the use of the metal
by the Romans, while pigs of lead found in
Britain indicate the activities during the
Roman occupation.
The first authentic record of mining and
smelling of~lead In the United States was at
Falling Greek, Va, in 1921. when the lead was
sought for bullets Some years later, IN 1850,
lead was produced in New England, and by
Jesuit missionaries in Arizona. The Mississippi
valley mines were first operated in 172O under
q grant from the French King.
During the Revolutionary War lead was pro-
duced for bullets in many parts of the colonies,
but this gave little indication OF the extent Of
the lead industry to come
With the birth and expansion of industry in
this country, and the arrival of the machine
age" however, the lead mines and smelters
came into their own, and the production has
been stimulated to point where much Of in
dustry in this country hangs on the production
Of the lead mines.

proportioned, as shown, to create the
figure Of f;ll-rigged sailing ships sill

of cardboard and the outline of the sails
is made with string Represented by dot

strings are for bracing only. The frame
is laid on the covering paper and the
outline cut out with q l-inch margin.
This margin Is then folded over and
glued down over the outline. A little

The pennant at the top is just little

JEFFERSON HAILED
AS GREAT LIBERAL
pill Breakfasts Birthday Ad-
dreSS-JameS E. Beck
Scores Dry Law.

eff Thomas jefferson were alive to-
day he would be the first to insist that
we change our laws and even the form
Of Government itself, II need be, to
remedy existing ills" Senator Clarence
G. Dill of Washington, declared last
night in Jefferson birthday anniver-
sary speech broadcast over the Column
bia radio system.
Speaking from New York in the Ma
tion-wide celebration Of Jefferson
birthday anniversary, Representative
Beck of Pennsylvania urged the repeal
Of the VolStead act, in accord with JET
fersonian principles, according to the
Associated FresS.
Senator Dill pictured the great
Democrat as a progressive, and, If
he had lived in 1880, as q leader of a
revolution against money oligarchy.
His writings and his speeches on
the subject Of labor, the courts and
the rights OF the poor were so advanced
that when any public man now dares
to express those sentiments the reac-
tionaries of today call him q radical
and sometimes a bolshevik.
"If he were Senator today" Sen
ator Dill said, 81 am sure he would
fight the confirmation of any man fol
fudge of the United States Supreme
Court who has placed property rights
above human rights. He described re-
dictionary judges of the courts as sap
pers and miners constantly working un-
derground to undermine the founda-
tions of our confederated fabric
Dill, an opponent Of American ad-
herence to the World Court, also pre-
dicted that jefferson would not favor
entanglements with foreign nations.
The revolt against the eighteenth
amendment, Representative Beck said
involved no disrespect to the Constitu-
ton of the fathers"
Speaking on Prohibition and the
Constitution" the former solicitor gen.
eral of the United States and a prom.
lnent constitutional authority told ar
audience at Carnegie Hall that the way
20 escape from the intolerable condi.
lions in which the country now ffnd,
itself" Is to elect men to Congress whC
would repeal the Volstead law. The
amendment. he said, does not have Il
be enforced.
IF the eighteenth amendment mus
remain in the Constitution, 1t can, as &
deaths head or memento mort, serve
as a perpetual warning to future gen
erations not to allow moral fanatics tt
tamper with that great and noble com
pact of government" he said.
