Pacific Mystery

Easter island is called the "Unsolved
Mystery Of the Pacific" because of the
scattered presence of hundreds of i'm
mense heads carved out of stone which
are to be seen, some standing erect
while others are down upon the
ground Their meaning is only con-
jectural and no one has ever offered
any explanation which is generally
accepted. Apparently Easter island
was chosen as the graveyard for the
chiefs. Of large island archipelago
which suddenly disappeared. The thou
sands Of slaves who were kept at work
carving out these images were left
without food and fell upon each other
until only few remained. The story
Of all these events was never recorded
and can be read only by inference.

Eliminating Ground Ivy

simple and effective remedy for
ground ivy on lawns has been found.
This consists of single spraying
with sodium chlorate, using ! to 2
ounces per gallon Of water, and that
quantity of solution is sufficient to
cover 100 square feet, providing a
pressure sprayer is used. If applied
with a sprinkling can. trife more
solution will be needed, as that method
of application is somewhat wasteful Of
material. The leaves should be thor
oughly covered. The spray can be APP
piled any time during the summer
or fall. Since the spray discolors the
grass for a short time, it Is perhaps
best to defer application until late
fall.

First Crude For Refinery
at Laurel Expected to Ar

PUMP PLACED FOR TRANSFERRING FROM CARS
TO STORAGE-C COMPLETION DATE OF APRIL
WILL BE CLOSELY MET-PIPE WORK
is STARTING
LAUREL OUTLOOK

First shipment of crude oil from
Oregon Basin, Wyo., from which
Laurel Leaf gasoline will be made by
Laurel Oil & Refining company on
completion of its $1,O00,000 refinery
now under construction here, is ex-
pected to arrive Saturday. The oil
was due to be shipped from Wyoming
Thursday
Several weeks remain before the
refinery will be operating, but the
scheduled date of April will be
accumulated in storage in recently
completed tanks at the refinery. The
shipment expected Saturday will be
followed by others during intervening
weeks.
In preparation for receiving the
first shipment pump has been tenn
porarily located near one of the TO-
0O0-barrel tanks to transfer the crude
from cars to storage.
In outward appearance the week
has seen little change in the rein
ery's sky line. The big refractor
tower that arrived last week from
Pennsylvania, is in sings and will be
elevated into position soon. 1t weighs
10000 pounds and is II by Ga feet
1t is the largest single piece of equip
ment coming to the Laurel refinery.

the construction of buildings nearing
completion, tanks completed, and in
various stages of construction, and
the outside work we'll in hand, the
matter of piping and fitting IS one of
the immediate important projects.
Pumps for one of the pump stations
were placed in position the past week.
They make an imposing array, lined
up on their concrete bases. They will
be used in transferring crude from
cars to storage, and in handling fin
ished products from the plant to
tanks.
Walls of one of the 25,000-barre
gasoline tanks are going up rapidly.
The bottom was laid down last week.
A start has been made on the sister
tank.
Balmy, spring-like weather the
past two weeks has been ideal for
construction work, and brick masons
are making rapid progress in COM
pleting their labors.
Richard Prater of Helena, state
boiler inspector, made an official test
of the recently installed boiler, giving
it 250-pounds of cold water, or hydro
static, pressure in the test Wednes-
day. The 250-pound cold test is ap-
proximately the same as $50 pounds
hot.

Ice movement in the Yellowstone

CAT SAVED FROM
LIVING TOMB

1t was a close call for pussy. Butte
carpenters, making alterations at a
North Main Street cafe, laid a new
flooring and sealed it over. Four

sealed the cat in what may have been
a living tomb. During a slight in
PERMISSION in the din of saving and
hammering one of the workmen heard
a plaintive mewing issuing from be-
meath the floor in the rear of the
building. An investigation revealed
the cat locked securely beneath the
boards. Air creeping in through
cracks had allowed her to live. A few
saucerfuls of warm milk handed out
by the kindly cook revived the cat
which drew considerable attention
from the diners gathered in the place
for luncheon.

English Poets Laureate

The origin of the poet laureatship OF
England is involved in obscurity. Ii
early days the word laureate" came
to mean in English eminent" 1t was
thus generally, although not always,
applied in literary sense Medieval
kings had poets or minstrels attached
to their households, who received pen
sions, although their appointment was
not official. In this way Ben Jonson
was looked upon as the first laureate,
but the title seems never to have been
really conferred on him. John Dry
den was the first English poet to re-
ceive the title by letters-patent in 1870.
From that time the post became a reg
ular institution.

Fungus diseases often attack the
goldfish, sometimes so severely that
there is nothing to do but make a
fresh start One remedy for the dis
ease is a salt bath, using a heaping

about a week in this solution, which Is
renewed daily. If no noticeable i'm

double, leaving the fish in this for two
days. Then reduce the solution to its

fish may be returned to the aquarium.

Liberty Cap

In early Roman times, only freemen
were permitted to wear caps. When
a slave was manumitted, a small cap,
usually of red felt, was placed on his
head, and his name was registered in
the city tribes. Several Roman COM
manders hoisted such caps on spears
to Indicate that all slaves who joined
them should be free; and when Caesar
was murdered, the conspiratOrs
marched forth in a body, with a cap
elevated on spear, in token of lib
erty.
In the French revolution, the lib
erty cap was adopted by the revolu-
tionists as badge of their freedom.
