"One criticism Of aircraft in the past
hes been that planes could not carry
their own supplies This Is no longer
true. In the recent air exercises at Sac

paraphernalia as carbon paper and

THE development of the mechaVi-
ator, or mechanical pilot, for airplanes
has great significance in aerial war;

pursuit pilot is his skill in pointing the
nose of his plane at an enemy. By
simply touching a button he can put
the direction of the plane in the hands

The developments mentioned above
are realities, not dreams of the future.
Maj Carl SpatZ. commanding officer OF
the 18th Bombardment group. one of the
most brilliant technicianS in. the Air
Corps, recently made the following pre-
diction:
within a few years pursuit planes
will be fighting at attitudes so high that
human beings are not able to exist
there because Of the extreme low tenn
peratureS and utter absence of oxygen.
To overcome this. it is more than
lfkely that high altitude pursuit planes
viii be developed. These planes will, for
all practical purposes, be flying SUBJ
marines in that the pilots will be in
closed IN compartments where they
will breathe air of sea level quality and
be protected against cold.
THE first step toward this ultimate
fighting plane will be a pursuit ship
with a heated cockpit. This would bo
. welcome departure from present high
altitude planes that compel pilots to

cumbersome clothing. which Is not only
uncomfortable, but also tends to mako

Keen Competition
In Wheat Growing

BOHEMIAN, Jan. 14-Montana
farmers who are good business men
and efficient in their methods and
who are located on good land where
conditions are favorable for large
scale, low cost production will be able
to compete with farmers in any part
of the world in growing wheat; others
had better start now to work into
those enterprises or combination of
enterprises to which their locality is
best adapted.
M. l.. Wilson, head of the depart
ment of agricultural economics at
Montana State College, and one of
the nations leading agricultural au-
thorities, expresses this opinion. The
subject of world competition in agri-
culture will be discussed by him in a
talk on Russia and the Worlds Wheat
Supply on the opening night Of Farm
and Home Week which starts Febru-
airy 3, at Montana State College,
Bozeman.
Mr. Wilson is not an alarmist when
it comes to wheat production in Mon
| tana. He believes that certain areas,
where the most efficient large scale
methods can be applied, will be able
to meet any competition the world
may offer. On the other hand, he be-
lieves that farmers who insist on
specializing in wheat production in
small units, under conditions unadapt-
ed to the most efficient methods and
machinery, will be forced out of the
race. Their one hope of remaining as
farmers, as he sees it, is to start now
to gradually work into livestock or
other adapted enterprises where there
is better chance Of competing.
His conclusions are based on his
observation in Russia and other Euro
pean and Asiatic countries last year.
He points out that in Russia, with its
untold millions Of acres and its cheap
labor, the Soviet government has
launched movement to industrialize
agriculture which undoubtedly will
have profound effect upon the world
wheat market. Developments in the
Argentine and Canada add to the in
tensity Of the impending struggle, ac-
cording to the Montana economist
Mr.. Wilson's address, the discus
sions on the Federal Farm Board, tax
alton, and economic changes in the
United States, many conventions of
agricultural organizations and special
group programs for wheat growers,

OF his candle caused flakes of some
, mineral IN the wall to expand in
lnslnuatlngly wormlike fashion. He
filled his pockets with. the stuff and
hurried home, anxious to examine his
find. Greatly to the annoyance of his
wife, who was preparing supper, Mr..
Alley persisted in placing bits of the
mineral on the cooking stove. The heat
caused it to swell enormously mean
while writing and squirming like
some live thing. The flaky mineral
was much like mica but it behaved
more strangely than any mica he had
ever seen. He had in fact discovered
mineral new to commerce, though
scientists had already classified it,
observing that heat caused it to ex-
pand wormlike. Now to scientists,
worms aren't worms, but vermos. So
to give the mineral scientific au-
thentic name if was chistened ".Ver-
miculite."
Vermiculite contains a great deal
of water, which causes it to expand
when heated until it gains many
times the original thickness and be-
comes so light that it will readily
float on water. Furthermore, the heat
ing causes it to assume a beautiful
golden or silvery luster. The thought
that this product must be of some
commercial value spurred Mr.. Alley
on to further experiments. Through
them he found the roasted vermiculite
to be, among other things, an excel
lent insulator. The kitchen stove gave
place to a crude oven-like furnace
which in turn was replaced by bet
ter one, and so on, step by step until
the present large calcining plant of
the Zonolite company at Libby was
evolved.
With the advent of the "talkie"
came the need for sound deadened
walls. Almost at the same time it
was found that the roasted vermicu-
lite, which Alley had christened "zono-
lite" not only was decorative as a
plaster, but had an Unsuitable appe-
tite for swallowing sounds. Rooms
covered with it were echoless. Now
zonolite goes to Hollywood by the
carload.sA great deal of it is used by
eastern manufacturers.
There are small deposits Of vermic-
ulite in Colorado, North Carolina, and
Pennsylvania but little use has been
made of them. Fortunately, the de-
post at Rainy creek is ample to sup
ply Montana's newest industry for
years to come. 1t is, in fact, vastly
larger than any other known.

COSTELLO STATES POSITION


Vashon Islands policy of demanding
one of the three representatives from
the fortieth legislative district was
warmly defended by L. j. Costello at a
meeting in Auburn Saturday night.
That state sales tax will be sub
mitted to the next session of the legis-
lature seems almost certain, Costello
states. Such law would place the
burden of taxation where 1t is least
able to be borne. "A sales tax would
place the burden of taxation upon the
consumer. The great majority of con-
sumers is made up of people of meager
means. For example, a person drawing
$4,000 per year would perhaps spend
every dollar for the necessities of life
and would therefore be taxed on every
dollar Of his income. while the man
drawing $4,000 per year would per-
Fhaps set aside half of his salary thus
escaping any tax upon the unspent
portion. 1t is easy to see how the per-.
centage Of taxes would be less per
dollar than on the $4,000 per year
man. Such a tax is unfair and should
be universally opposed.
