Approximately 600 persons turned

road Commissioner Ben Larkin dis
cuss political subjects Of general in
terest.
Frazier discussed the possibilities Of
enlarging the Bismarck Indian school
and the establishment of a high
school course for the wards of the

velopment might occur within the
next few years.
Sinclair, discussing the question of
whether the troops would be permit
ted by the war department to remain
at Fort Lincoln, said he had been
assured by Secretary Hurley that
no action would be taken until Sin
clair returned to Washington. He
said he doesn't expect to get back
before December and until that time.
At least, the fort will remain occu-
pied.

Larkin, discussing the possibility of
obtaining lower gas and electric
rates. said there Is no accurate means
OF knowing whether present rates are
fair and will not be until the public
utility properties of the state can be
evaluated for rate-making purposes.
He said L. L. Twichell, I. v. A. chief
tain, blocked an effort to obtain an
appropriation for this work In 1929.
Nye. given the topic Did I spend
TOO much money as chairman of the
senate Investigating committee" said
ne refused to get down into the gut
ter with those who had limited that
the committee had wasted it's money.
The money was spent by the COM
mlttee OF five, he said. and the thing
which troubled its critics most was
that it was spent for the purpose for
which 1t was appropriated.
Asserting the farmers could have
whatever they wanted if they could
raise a $40, 000, 900 wal chest for the
Republican party and another $l5,-
600 1000 campaign fund for the Dem
ocrats, Nye said the moneyed inter-
ests of the country control the ma
chinery of both parties and always
win, regardless of which party is in
power.
Tells of Findings
Explaining how The committee
spent its money, Nye reviewed con-
ditions uncovered in Tennessee and
Delaware, Democratic states. and
In Nebraska, Illinois and Colorado,
normally Republican. In each in
stance, he said attempts were made
to thwart the will of the people by
the use of dirty money. He pre-
dicted that George Seymour and

dollar graft in one of the smaller and

as grievous a sin against the taxpayers

Conservatism in the Air.

If Col. Charles A. Lindbergh has done
nothing else for aviation-and by his
spectacular and daring trip to Paris in
1927 he probably did more than any
one man to give impetus to the devel-
opment of the airplane-he has since
that time taught aviators valuable
lesson in conservatism and careful prep
aration for all his flights. The seven
thousand-mile vacation" that Col and
MRS. Lndbergh are now enjoying is
simply another Illustration of his abiI-
ity to plan carefully and then carry
out his plans in an unhurried manner
that make valuable demonstration of
safety even on trips which involve great
dangers. The lesson that Col. Lind
bergh has been teaching in careful
ness should be needed by all flyers.
In the first place, it was only after
exhaustive tests that his plane, on
which new motor and new pontoons
were installed, was ready for the
getaway. Then there were Iast-min-
ute preparations to be made here
in Washington to insure the flying cou-
pie no difficulties when they crossed in
ternational boundaries. Next came the
delay in the start from the National
Capital. The Lindberghs wanted no
trouble with their radio set, which
failed to function in final tests here.
Still unhurried and still careful that
all details Of plane and plan were
workable, they finally made their de-
parture and, by leisurely stages. with
due regard to weather and other condi-
tions. have proceeded to a point from
which they are due in Japanese waters

Kamchatka, nine hundred miles from
their next stopping point. at Nemuro.

continued. According 10 press dis
patches, the Lindberghs took of early
in the morning for Nelnuro. Japan.
but, after flying only few miles, the
colonel's sensitive ears detected a slight
motor trouble. Instead Of going on.
as many others would have done. he
promptly landed and, with a few min
utes' work, made the necessary adjust
ments.
OF course, not all flyers, especially
those who are seeking speed records
for long distances, will take the time
to wait on weather and the perfect
functioning Of their ships and motors.
They win try to get through willy-niIly.
But the Lindbergh way is the safest
way and can be followed with pront BY
every adventurer in the flSies

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL.

| the under cat can run away In fact,
a good cat fight is composed, as suE-
gested. Of almost equal parts running,
| fighting, and yowling.
The yodling portion OF the entertain
merit is always a duet, in which one
cat takes the role of tenor and the
other of baritone.
Just why this must be so we have
never been able to figure out. unless
the challenger adopts the menacing low
gTowl and the more timid the higher,
more querulous tone.
The alternate sounds, often human
in character, not always lead to bat
tie. This Is one Of the queer features
of Euch affairs.
Sometimes, after many minutes OF
this wordy duel, accompanied with much
craning Of the necks and tail switching,
one cat will begin to retreat, stiff legged
sideways.
F'M some perfectly unexplained rea-
son. the other stands his ground. max
ing no attempt to lead the attack. and
what for so long seemed to be going
to be a battle of the first proportions
has turned out to be a perfect false
alarm. /
The third ma or tactics Of the cat in
battle. Is to make a rear attack.
Even when standing nose to nose,
hurting maledictionS at each other. each
cat is figuring out how he can out
flank the other
The ethics OF cat battle does not
make Ii possible for the cat whose flank
is being turned, as 1t were. to turn in
his turT. No, he must stand perfectly
still, doing no more than crane his neck
to the side, while the other cautiously
creeps around to his rear.
This Is the rule. You will never see
cats waltzing around, in an attempt To
keep face to face with each other. The
law forbids it.
Perhaps the fourth rule Of their major
tactics explains 1t. This requires that
as soon as attacked a cat must throw
himself on his back and meet the enemy
with 5 weapons instead of one.
II therefore makes little difference
to Timber cat which way he Is fac
ing, on his feet, after he gets on his
back on the ground, for there he is A
whirling ball with claws extended from
each paw, and mouth wide gaping with
white teeth.
Queer as it. may seem. the refuge Of
cat from cat is a tree
Whether the vanquished does not
realize that his enemy can climb as well
as he can we do not know, but IL a
cat can run up a tree, when chased
by a cat foe, he will do so, in prefer
ence to any ether perch.
No doubt he knows that it will be
easy enough for him to box the oppo-
nent down, If he is so determined as
to attempt to climb up after him.
Fear lends wings to the pursued cat,
and invariably he runs faster than the
victor Perhaps the latter is wise, after
all and is not in too great a hurry
to follow up his advantage. Human
warriors, even of the greatest caliber,
have been known to fail in this, too
The agility OF cats and their thick
fur together account for the small
amount of damage which these fight
ers do to each other Also they believe
In another human maxim. that discre-
ton is often the better part of valor.
With them the biggest cat usually wins.
not only because, as Napoleon declared.
God Is on the side Of the heaviest bat
talions, but also because its size gives
1t the nerve to attack first.

Greenland's Icy Mountains.

While Norway and Denmark are In
dispute over the question of who owns
Greenland, or part of it, scientists
are ct work endeavoring to measure
the great ice sheet which covers viz
tually the entire interior Of the vast
island. From the earliest times Of ex-
ploratlon It has been recognized that
this ice pack is a perpetual covering Of
he land, slowly moving seaward IN
glacier formation and creating berps at
the coast line. But just how deep this
sheet is. which is to say. how high the
land rises in the interior, has been
merely a matter Of speculation. The
area OF this sheet is roughly computed
at 73l 600 square miles. It has hereto
fore been estimated TO be at least 600
feet In average thickness. The weight
Of this continuous mass OF ice has never
been calculated because of the uneer-
tainty as 10 the depth.
A German expedition is now az work
in an effort to measure the thickness
Of the ice sheet OF Greenland. The
method employed is that Of exploding
deeply buried powder charges and de-
termining the length OF time required
for the vibration Of the shots to be
reflected back 10 the surface A pre-
liminary report has come from this
experiment. which indicates that on
the basis Of twenty five different meas
urements the Ice cap or sheet. ranges
from $500 to $500 feet; in ether words,
roughly, from nearly half mile TO over
mile and q half These soundings.
