PROTECTION FOR METALS
By Albert E. Hayes
In The Denver Post

In the three years that Russia has been actively de-
yelopng her mineral resources she has uncovered
copper reserves of million TONS zinc reserves of 2
and onehaf million tons and lead Of one-haf million
tons The figures supplied by Economic Life, the
official economic organ Of the soviet government,
Which says the ore developments have been confined
to only few camps in the Ural mountains and Sber-
Ia The soviet ambition, this organ says, is to
take not only Europe but the United States in produc
ton of these three metals Biologists believe Russia
to have more mineral resources than any other nation
With unlimited manpower modern machinery and
no wage SCALE Russia can easily undersell the world
when her natural resources are developed It is use
less for America to think of competing and at the
same time maintaing our standards of living What
our country needs is vision to look into the future
and make preparations according y. Our government
is playing the part of the ostrich.
Russia already has cut England out from all the
cotton trade of Persia. India and China are making
their own cotton goods and many other articles on la
Dor that costs 20 cents day and knows no hour
day. AS Secretary j. F. Calbreath of the American
Mining congress says, the white nations must help
Asia to raise her standard of living or run the dan
ger of being dragged down to her level. Financially
London Paris and New York run the world with bill
lions of foreign Investments but this problem is eco
nomic and not financial
Since the war England has played desperately for
close economic and financial relations with the Unit
ed States. On most articles we have sufficient tar
ff protection, but not on OIL "copper" lead silver and
zinc. The two Americas are equally threatened byI

TELEPHONE NUMBER NINE

In todays issue of The News there appears a pad
advertisement of The Montana Power Companv ex
pressing to the citizens and taxpayers of Red Lodge
telf appreciation for their support and vote of con-
fidence
Inc actual count OF the votes cast was most disap
polntlng-hardly could it be termed a vote of conf
dence of the community of Red Lodge
Out OF 1872 registered voters 411stax PAYERS cast
their VOTE and by margin of Is votes the gas fran
chse was approved
While great number of citizens gave their hearty
and Wholehearted help to bring about this enfran-
chlsement their vision reaching far enough to see
the advantages that this progressive step would give
TO the community, there were Others many of Them
VINO were either unable to grasp this movement for
nodefnlzauon, or who were misguided summary
might even disclose that there are lot satisfied to
stand still and not move with the wheels of progress
1h1s IS usually true, although unfortunate that
great many citizens are opposed to measures and
movements which are of vital Importance to their own
community. This was true when only a part of the
community of Red Lodge was for the Red Lodge
Cooke City road and others were opposed
By only Is votes Red Lodge citizens and taxpayers
will enjoy the modernizaton which the GAS franchise
will bring while today we should proudly be boasting
that not single vote was cast against this issue
Those who voted against this measure will reap the
same benefits which will eventually come to Red
Lodge through this enfranchisement as those who
voted for this measure.
The lighting franchise, placing Red Lodge on an
equal basis OF other Cities some even smaller than
Red Lodge, who are enjoying the benefits of much
lower rate than we are should be our next issue
Let us make this the next ISSUE!

Brazilian Nut Pickers
Victimized bv BUYERS

The business Of gathering brazil
nuts In the Amazon jungles resolves
itself into skin game for the ma
tives concerned when the traders.
who follow the harvest, arrive with
their boatloads of rum and trinkets.
Near group of huts on the river
bank the trade boat stops, writes
Hugo Franklin in the Boston Tran
script, and there the merchandise
Is displayed in an improvised
"store." The trader sits, like the
spider in its web, behind a battery
of jugs of rum, surrounded by a
few pieces Of bright colored goods.
tobacco, bags of salt, cans of kero-
sene, sometimes even cases of cheap,
beer.
The nut pickers could make q
good profit on the long trip I'D the
river to the nut forests if only they
would shun the trader, but little by
little their crop piles up beside the
store. AT the end of the season
the poor natives owe money to the
traders and, unhappy and penni-
less, offer to pay the debt by help
ing to load the nuts on the boat
and work their way back to civ
ilization.

Observer Saw Beauty
in Locomotives Steam

In a period that provides us with
opportunities of learning how inter-
esting and even beautiful a thing
railway can be, it Is instructive
to recall that an earnest observer
OF century ago saw, In the Liv-
erpool and Manchester line, a
beauty, apparently, such as Keats
discovered in the Greek vase on
which he bestowed immortality.
Alexander Somerville in his auto
biography of Working Man." pub
llshed originally in 1S4S, and re-
ferring to a period during the thir-
ties of the last century, states:
"All sights which | had seen In
London and elsewhere-the beau
tlful, the grand, the wonderful
shrank into comparative nothing
ness when, after reaching Liver
pool went into the country for
week, In the eighborhood of Pres
colt and saw (each day | sought to
see 1t, each hour of the day | could
nave stood to see it again) the
white steam shooting through the
landscape of trees, meadows and
villages; loaded with merchandise,
men and women, and human enter
prise, rolling along under the steam.
| had seen no sight like that;
have seen nothing to excel it since.
In beauty and grandeur the world
has nothing beyond it."-Manehes-

Advises Baby Specialist

isfy their needs, and their require
ments are relatively greater thar
those of a full weight infant"
In the experiments carried on a.
Bellevue Hospital with premature
infants the best results were
obtained when evaporated mill
was introduced into the feeding
formula.
One physician in his experiment
with premature infants reinforced
breast milk by the addition oil
carbohydrates, but realized that
such a mixture was deficient in
protein and salts and was not Q
suitable substitute for breast milk
| for any length of time"
DR.. Hill tells about two groups
OF premature infants under his
supervision at Bellevue Hospital,
New York City. The first group
OF infants were subject to a rotat.
ing service of attending physicians,
so their feeding formulas and the
method of feeding were frequently
changed. With the second group.
one physician was placed in charge
and one type of feeding was given
consistently. a formula of three
parts breast milk and one part
evaporated milk. These babies,
100, were given passive exercise.
AS result the second group
showed an increase in weight
little more than double that of the
first group.
The smallest infant on this re-
enforced formula weighed one
pound twelve ounces at two
weeks" says DR.. Hill. Dilute
breast milk and sugar solution had
failed to produce a gain The in
FAINT was then given 12cc Of breast
milk and lace OF evaporated milk
every three hours There was an
uninterrupted gain throughout the
hrst year, at the end of which
time she weighed Is pounds and
IL ounces"
Dr. Hill summarizes by saying
that a formula for feeding prema-
ture infants consisting OF three
parts of breast milk and one part
OF eVaporated milk produced
gam per infant more than twice
that accomplished by experiments
with other formulas in preceding
years.
This reinforcement of breast
milk with protein in the form Of
evaporated milk and the use Of
passive exercise in the care of
premature infants are presented,
because the results obtained were
more constant than any heretofore
tried out at Bellevue Hospital"
says Or. Hill in conclusion.

Inspiration of Great Song

Carrie Jacobs Bond, author of
The End of a Perfect Day." de-
scribes the circumstances under
which the song was written as fol-
lows: THE story of the writing of
The End of a Perfect Day has
been told many, many times and
IN many, many ways, but the truth
is very simple story. The in
splration came to me as | was view
ing wonderful sunset from the
top of Mount Rubidoux in Riverside,
Calf. l had been motoring through
southern California and we had
been seeing many beautiful sights,
but the glory of this sunset from
the mountains was the most beauti-
full thing | had ever seen. l hur-
ried back to the Mission inn to get
ready for dinner and while dress

Peculiar Hairdressine

German tribes. in olden DAYS,
paid a good deal of attention to
their hair, says an article in a Bos-
ton paper. In certain districts
red dye apparently was used to
dye the hair bright red. The more
easterly German tribes USUALLY
wore their hair long and loose over
the shoulder, men as we'll as
women.
The Saxons, however, cut their
hair fairly short. Some western
tribes had curious custom of ty-
ing the hair on the right side of
the head into a knot, with the ends
creased to make them protrude like
horns. The women in all parts of
Germany had great variety of
combs and brooches to keep their
long hair in place, although unmar-
REQ women appear to have worn
their hair loose.-Detroit News.

That Word FUNNY

The word funny" has a very
wide meaning in Scotland. It does
not merely signify amusing or en-
tertaining; it is more frequently
used to describe something inter
esting, unusual, or even alarming
In childhood to feel funny on a
Monday morning often meant q dav
off school; it was vague form Of
illness that might be anything. and
was safer than complaining of any,
thing local. Hes funny charac-
ter does not imply that he is an
amusing person, but that he is rath-
er shady. Perhaps the funniest
use of funny was that of the old
lady who asked her little grand
son when he returned from q visit
to the neighboring gas works. "Was
1t funny, Johnnie; was it funny?.

Popular Old Legend

In the middle OF the Sixteenth
century the legend of the wander
ing Jew" received popular life in
Germany owing to the claims of
a man who announced himself to
be the "Ewige jude himself. In
Hamburg he gave his name as
Ahasuerus, and stated that he had
been a shoemaker in Jerusalem
who would not suffer Christ TO rest
at his door when fainting under the
weight of the cross.
He struck Jesus, and ordered him
to move on, whereupon Jesus said.
i will stand here and rest, but thou
shalt go on until the last day." This
mans story was subsequently pub
lished on the authority of a In.
theran clergyman, who claimed to
have met the Jew in Hamburg.

r Vow healthy is your baby?
II That is the slogan that now
Il Il adays meets every mother
In this era of scientific and medical
experimentation the baby is re,
ceiving a goodly share of attention.
1t is the era of preventive medi.
cine, or in other words it is the
age of keeping well. So at the
very outset those who have the
responsibility of caring for babies
are trying to give them a good
start. Naturally, the baby's food
is one of the first and most impor.

THE BIRDS IN THE BJISH
By George B. Lockwood

The bankers who argued before the International
Chamber of Commerce at its Washington meeting
that the way for the United States to stimulate for
egn orders was to cancel the debts of European ma
tons to America already adjusted at about so per
cent need not go abroad to try the plan on their own
account.
Why not cancel the notes of their own private debt
ors right here at home? This would undoubtedly in
crease the prosperity of those who owe hanks. IN
many cases it would relieve financial distress These
customers would then be able to put more money in
the banks. 1t would assist in restoring prosperity
There IS reason to believe that instead of ACTING
that way most of these bankers would not even think
OF cutting these debts in two and giving the debtors
| 90 years to pay Off Indeed at time when more
liberal credit would be helpful all around most banks
are insisting that those who have given notes should
rapidly curtal them or pay them off, even though
there is more money piled up in the banks than there
has ever been and undue pressure on honest creditors
IS III many cases producing disaster and creating
permanent ll-Will.
Perish the thought that the attitude of these big
bankers is based not upon anxiety for stimulation of
foreign orders for American goods but upon the fact
that the public debts of these foreign countries to
the United States are first mortgage amortized at
very low rate OF interest while these bankers have
been lending and investing money abroad at high
rate of interest and have taken obligations which are
secondary to what is owing the United States gov
eminent.
There is general feeling throughout the country
that some big bankers of the United States during
the present emergency, have shown greed and a
shortslghtedness that has lost sight of ali but immed
late profits They have sent billions of dollars be-
longing after all to the American people, to Europe
TO be invested IN precarious enterprises including
cheap labor industries competitive to those of the
united States. They have introduced mass produc-
ton into the nations whose low consuming power
has brought about gut Of goods and shortage of
employment. They have even been willing to furnish
the credit machinery and technique to Soviet Russia
TO enable that government to DESTROY our own
to spread commercial decentralization and unemplov
ment throughout the non-communist world.
In other words they have played selfishly, with
tota disregard OF their obligations to the country in
which they made their money The loss of goodwill
III this country cannot be charged up on their ledgers
as an asset. Rather it is very dangerous liability
IL would be very wise course for these inteation-
al bankers and industriasts to begin to believe that
a bird in the hand in the United States is worth
whole flock in the European BUSH

can Journal of Diseases of Chill
dren. DR.. Miner c. Hill, physician
in charge of the Childrens Divi.
sion Of Bellevue Hospital, New
York City, takes up the discussion
of the feeding OF premature in
fants. DR.. Miner explains that for
practical purposes any infant
weighing less than five pounds at
birth is classed as a premature,
irrespective Of the estimated period
of CESSATION.
"The important factors govern
Ing the care of these small in
fants," says DR.. Hill, ARE ~
maintenance of body heat. (2) pre-
vention of infection, (3) nursing
care. "a exercise and (5) food.
e"Food is essential to life," says
DR.. Hill, "but it means little to
the life of the infant unless proper
care is given to his physical sur
roundings. Breast milk is still the
ideal infant food; however it is not
always successful with premature
Infants because many of them can
not take enough at one time to sat.

Chamlee Exposes Roddy'S Aid
In Railroading 9 Negro Boys
Shows Khan Attorney Claimed by N A A G P
Leaders To Be Representing Them, Helped
Ala. Bosses in Court Room Lynching

CHATTANOOGA, May 22-Point-
ing out that the attack on the
Scottsboro defense by Stephen R.
Roddy, the Klan attorney claimed
by the N. A. A. c. P. leaders to be
representing them, was deliberately
timed to inflict the greatest damage
on the fight to save the lives Of
the nine boys, General George w.
Chamlee, International Labor De-
tense attorney, today replied to
Roddy.
Roddy's attack appeared in The
Chattanooga Times the day preced-
ing the date set for the hearing on
the motions of the I. L. D. for new
trials for the boys. Tt constituted
vicious Indictment to the southern
bosses to carry through their plan
ued legal lynching of the nine in
nocent Negro children.
In his statement, General Cham
lee explodes Roddy's argument that
he, Roddy, had charge of the de-
Tense for the boys and that Cham
lee was an interloper. General
Chamlee points out that Roddy was
never engaged by either the nine
boys or their parents. Chamlee ex-
hibited records to show that while
Roddy had been engaged by the In
terdenominationa Minister Alliance
of Chattanooga he had refused in
court to appear as counsel for the
boys. The court records quote Rod
dy as saying to the court:
"If the court please, am here,
but not as employed counsel by
these defendants. But people who
are interested in them have spoken
to me about it,"
General Chamlee points out that
the court told Roddy that if he re-
presented the boys, the appointment
of members of the Scottsboro bar
would be automatically cancelled.
But Roddy absolutely refused to take
responsibility for the defense:

Then, / don't want to appear
as counsel, but do want to stay
nand not be ruled out of the case.
1 just appear here through the
courtesy of your honor"
The records presented by General
ChamIee shows that Roddy then pro-
ceeded to help the boss court in rail-
reading the boys to the electric chair,
that he refused to ask for post
ponement in order to prepare the
defense, that he failed to CROSS
examine the witnesses for the State,
in spite of the fact that their tes-
timony was confusing and contra
dictory.
General Chamlee then goes on TO
show that all nine of the boys and
their families had signed contracts
with the International Labor Defense
for their defense, and had endorsed
General Chamlee and other lawyers
provided by the I. L. D.
II was employed by the parents
and -kinsfolk of these boys in con-
nection with the International La
Dor Defense and this organization
has agreed to finance this lawsuit
in the main, but In retaining me,
in connection with the request Of
the parents and kinsfoIk of the de-
PENDANTS and the defendants them
selves, the International Labor De-
Tense made 1t clear that / am be-
ing retained as counsel only, and
that L am in nowise required or
expected to give up my views on
any social political religious or
economic question. This Organi-
cation asked me to give my SIN
cerest and best efforts for the de-
Tense of these nine boys, in the
manner provided by the laws of
the state of Alabama and the laws
of the land, and this I gladly
agreed to do to the best of my
ability. Mr.. Brodsky and myself
are the attorneys In this case, and
Gr. Roddy is not employed in it
as far we are concerned and his
continued criticism has rendered
his services to our clients unsatis-
factory and undesirable"
