 Washington. January 2S (UP) Secretary of Treasury Mellon to- day denounced congressional plans for further immediate compensation for World War veterans as a pro- gram of unmitigated imitation which would lead to greater depression.

Mellon dis cussed the question in testimony be- fore the senate finance committee. which is considering several bills to cash veterans insurance certifi- cateS.

THE SPIRIT OF RED LODGE

The caravan of 43 cars which came from Red Lodge
Monday to participate with the Billings Commercial
Club IN celebrating the successful fight for new en-
trance to Yellowstone park from Red Lodge through
Cooke City, eoquently attess the fine spirit of the
Carbon county residents. It was demonstration of
the same spirit which for several years past carried
on the campaign which will see actual construction
begun this summer.
1t was also fitting that o. H. P Shelley, Red Lodge
publisher was the guest of honor. AS lobbyist Mr..
Shelley displayed commendable initiative and contr
buted panstang effort in the task of obtaining the
new scenic highway. The Importance of his assis-
lance has been warmly commented upon by Montana's
delegation IN congress and by others long interested
IN the project.
Completion of the highway is expected to insure
new and brighter future for Red Lodge Entirely
aside from the advantages which will accrue during
the park season the highway should permit new and
important development Of the mining district around
Cooke City and will be link to assist in development
OF rich chrome deposits in that portion of Montana
Coal mining and farming have always been the chief
economic assets Of Red Lodge and industrial progress
has made coal mining much less lucrative from the
communitys standpoint. For years the vision of Red
Lodge residents was cast at new horizons and we
trust that the new highway will bring recompense for
their fine, aggressive hopeful spirit.

Phrases Now Familiar
Traced to Their Source

Speaking of getting the sack"
In the Seventeenth century meehan-
les carried their tools in big bag.
When man was fred his sack
was handed back to him that he
might pack up his belongings and
hunt new job. There is another
story of the origin of the phrase
and it's somewhat horrendous. A
certain sultan, upon firing of a
wife, would have her tied in sack
and cast into the sea.
Humble pie" comes from Eng
land, and it's a pun. The umbles
are the heart, liver and entrails of
the deer. When the lord of the
manor dined on venison, the umbles
were made into pie for the serv-
ants.
"Humbug' is straight Irish. It
comes from "uim bog" pronounced
humbug, which means soft copper
or worthless money.
And we say "by hook or crook"
because in feudal times tenants
were allowed to collect firewood by
hook or crook. They were permit
ted as much of the underwood as
could be cut with a crook, and as
much of the loose timber as could
be collected from boughs with a
hook.-Golden Book Magazine.

royalty WAS next to divinity.
Columns upon columns about ba-

DR.. Olmsted begins his article d.

the use of unsweetened evaporated
milk as an infant food has increased
rapidly. Coineident with its clinical
trial, laboratory investigations by
biochemists and nutrition workers
have focused attention on this
product. 1t can now be said that
evaporated milk has some distinct

it a prominent place in the realm
of infant feeding" .

Variety of Acacia Used
in Building Tabernacle

It is in Exodus % that we first
find mention of shittim wood, when
the Lord was giving direction to
Moses for the building of the
tabernacle, the temporary church
of the Israelites, while like a tribe
of Arabs they travelled about in
the desert.
No one doubts that the shittah
tree, or shittim wood tree. is one
of three varieties of the acacia
which is common in eastern lands.
This particular variety is known
as acacia-sepal, and is the one from
which gum-arabic is obtained.
1t grows in the very driest stu
atoms at the present time, in that
selfsame desert. Every little oasis,
every rocky decliyity, on the side
of every rocky hill it may be found,

spring it is beautiful with it's

TO the former an equal amount of
water practically restores 1T to its
state before evaporation. as far as
food values and percentages are
concerned.
"Evaporated milk differs from
raw cows milk in another impor-
tant manner. The easein is so
changed by the manufacturing
process that it forms in the infants
stomach an extremely small and
iocculent curd. This alone, is prob
ably the chief factor of its high
digestibility."
Frequently in cows milk-fed ha-
bies illness is traced to unsafe milk.
unsafe because of earelessness in
handling the milk, because of un-
clean utensils. or because of I'M
healthy herds. .

Grated milk has never been ques-
toned" claims DR.. 0lmsted. This
is an important consideration in
communities where the fresh milk
supply is unsafe.

continues Dr. Olmsted. Since then
have used it increasingly, not
only in private practice but also in
hospital wards for infants and in
infant welfare clinics"
DR.. Olmsted prescribes this form
of milk for premature babies who
are deprived of mothers milk.
His clinical experience has also
shown that evaporated milk is the
most satisfactory food for children
suffering from infantile eczema be-

THE LEAGUE AND NARCOTICS
By George B. Lockwood

Those who insist that the failure of the United
States to belong to the League of Nations handicans
this country in the work Of international cooperation
for the good of the world, may find some food for
thought IN the recently published statement of Dr.
Kurt Pohlsch, of Berlin, noted international drug
expert who declares that the League of Nations mar
cotic organization has fallen down on the lob desnte
the attempted cooperation of the American govern
ment, and that the only effective work has been done
by the World Narcotic ORGANIZATION with headouar-
ters in Geneva, New York, and Los Angeles. and it's
support derived entirely from Americans Bv this
organization Dr. Pohlisch Says startling results
have been obtained.
For 10 years the league has been ostensblv dealing
with the drug problem one of the most serious con-
fronting humanity. American delegates to Geneva
Conferences have discovered that the representatives
OF certain powerful nations attend these conferences
with loud professions of desire to curb the "dope"
BUSINESS but always ready to put up fight for their
snare OF the international narcotic trade The onv
tangible result all this babbe has been the erection
OF new drug factories in Switzerland and France
Narcotics constitute an international problem be-
cause the traffic is carried by international drug
rings which engage in illicit production and smuggl-
ing The traditional attitude of European govern
ments toward this traffic may be better understood
when it is remembered that Great Britain once fought
war to force the commerce in narcotics on China
In the deliberations of the various conferences on
narcotics under the auspices of the League of Nations
1t has been discovered that the money to be made out
OF the nefarouS habit has been more powerful in
fluence than idealism.
OF course this record does not exactly fit in with
the theories of our dreamy nternationaliss who
always proceed on the premise that the United States
is the one grasping, commercaized greedy and sell
fish nation of the world and that ali the other ma
lions are painting for peace good will and idealism
In world AFFAIRS But the facts do not fit in with any
OF the theories of the nternationalists When Uncle
Sam sits down at the council table of the League of
Nations if persistent minority ever slips this pro-
gram over on the American people, he will not be- as
is claimed by internationaists, gathered in an
assembly Of saints, but Of shrewd, experienced, dip

better than America does This is practically illus
