Complete
All Highways
In Four Years
If Referendum No. 50 Is
Approved by Montana
Voters May 5.
1915 MILES OF
ROAD TOsBE BUILT

HELENA, March 23.-(Special)-H
referendum No. IS, to be voted on
May 5th, is approved by Montana
voters, it will mean practical compile
ton of the states highway program
within the next four years instead OF
dragging it along for six, eight or ten
years. This is pointed out by Sid J.
Coffee of Missoula, president of thu
Montana Automobile Association.
Totals in the reports of the state
highway commission show that 49,
B4,393 has been spent in building
att miles of federal aid road in Mon
tana since 1884, said Mr.. Coffee.
There remain to be constructed in
Montana on the 10 system LBS miles
of road, exclusive of the forest high
way mileage which is taken care of ex-
clusively by federal forest funds.
IF the 100000 in highway con-
struction warrants become available
during the next four years, this sum
will be uesd to match special federal
aid money allotted. Concurrently the
existing highway construction pro-
gram made possible by the gasoline
tax will continue Federal aid money Is
available at the rate of $2,500,000 a
year. It has been estimated that more
than $23,O00,O00 will be spent on Mon
tana road construction in the next four
year period, if the referendum is ap-
proved. This will be sufficient to prac-
tically complete the remaining mile
age Counties, cities and railroads have
contributed more than 81 900 900 in the
last four years to supplement state
money in matching federal funds and
! if this is continued during the next
period, there will be available several
| millions OF dollars additional The Mon
/ tana highway dollar swells with pride
! when put up against Federal aid 1t
means 1924 in actual road construc-
ton" ~

directly up before his daughter
as she struggled into the sleeve

breathless, as if the interview

CHAPTER 22

AAAAA = AS1S NV
This famous story has been

Metro GOldwyn Mayer with
Marion Davies in the leading
rOle.)
Standing in the multiplying
embraSSure of her mirrors,
enny's hand, emerald-in-
cruSted, flew to her throat.
What had happened? Rarick
knew something! He always
did when he looked like that.
Dry teeth bare. Terror flew at
her. Terror and a sudden loath-
ing for the whole tottering
structure Of her affair with
Ramon.
AS a keeper Of a gigolo she
had risked everything. Why
mince matters? Keeper Of a
gigolo! And at risk of security,
prestige, eminence. The neu-
ralgic pain that was lurking in
her side seemed to leap into
her throat-into her spirit.
What had she pulled down
about her? What terrible
crash was this impending?
Out of her recklessness, out
Of her failure to rest content
with the security of her en-
inence, was she about to reap
still more failure?
"Rarick," she cried out to
him, ready, as it were, to fight
for her life, don't be a fool!"
How terrifyingly like a skull
he was.
where is Jennifer?" he said
along his dry jowls. II want

ness of hers!

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

During the vacation season.
anyone who goes fishing or
hunting or camping may be
the victim of a snake bite. It
is worth knowing that a serum
has been perfected for snake
venom which will prevent the
most serious consequences. It
has been approved by the
United States Health Service.
A tube of the serum in a con-
venient package for putting in
first-aid kit can be obtained
at any drug store.
The serum is prepared much
as diphtheria antitoxin is pre-
pared-by collecting venom
from the snake and injecting
small amounts into a horse un-
till the animal produces an i'm
munizing substance in the
blood serum. When this i'm
munity is sufficiently strong
some Of the horses blood
serum is extracted and put up
in walls under aSeptic condi-
tionS. After being tested for
strength, it is marketed in the
form described above.
A Snake-Bite Protection
The anti-venom serum pro-
tectS against the bite of all
species of our poisonous snakes
the rattlesnake, the moccaSin
and the copperhead. Each
tube will neutraliZe so times
the lethal dose Of a rattleSnake
bite Of average severity.
The best time to administer
the serum Is about three hours
after the bite has been re-
ceived. This allows for time to
obtain serum, even if none is
handy at the time.
In the meantime emergency
treatment consists Of putting
a tourniquet Cor conStriction)
around the limb-leg or arm
above where the bite is. AS
most snake bites are either on
the leg or arm, this is feasible.
It should not be put on too
tight or left on too long. The
second part Of the emergency
treatment is to make incisions
in the skin all around the site
Of the bite. This allows the
serum which is saturated with
snake venom to get out. This
should be helped by suction
either by the mouth or by a
breast pump or rubber bulb Of
any kind.
Legend Of the RattIesnake
Many snakes, especially rat
tiers, do not have any venom
in their fangs. For this rea-
son many snake bites have no
consequences at all. The legend
has arisen, possibly from this
cause. that rattlesnake bites

gled for her hands.
"As if you would understand
if I told you."
What is he to you?"
Suddenly, as if the realization
of her trap came flooding over
her, she let her wrists relax in
her fathers grip and dropped
her head forward until her
brow was almost against his
hands, before her incredible
words came.
Pleads for Aid
II love him, Papa" she said.
Help me, Papa, I don't want
to love him. I want to hate
him and I can't. Help me.
Papa. Please, please, Papa"
His heart was in his mouth.
His knees trembled. The
papa" had almost unnerved
him. The silly revealing child's
word, Papa. A primitive pho
netic word that must have had
its etymology along the tooth
less gums of babes. He was too
racked to make a sound. Papa,

"oh, my darling!" cried
JENNY. Stllnp tn the mick no1lr-

My baby, what has come over
you? This isn't like you'll"
II know it isn't, Mother. It's
not me. That's just it. I'm
not myself. I want to hate him.
I want to keep hating him.
And I love him, Mother. Isn't
that terrible?"
MY dear! My sweet! It is
just an infatuation. He isn't
worth your little finger. My
dear-my sweet"
This bare-backed woman,
with the little notcheS un her
spine that were repulSiVe to
him, and the narrow head with
the pink hair brushed up
straight to accentuate it, was
wrestling the situation from
him. She was superb as she
drew the head Of Jenifer to her
narrow breast.
Superb with being her mother,
while he stood dumb before the
emergency Of his daughter, even
though, at her words, Help me,
Papa" his anger had dissolved
into the flood-Stream Of his
heart. Still he remained there,
dumb, while Jenny, whose pain
flowed in the relief Of tears, was
wrestling from him what had
been periously near being a
movement Of contact with his
girl.
You help me, Mother!"

moves"

Down inside him somewhere.
Berry's got a sense of honor.
I'm the rotter. I haven't let
him be. After that night
even. I've kept wangling him.
To meet me. To be with me.
Every once in a while I think
I'm cured, Mother. I've been
in hell. I'm sick, Mother.
"You try and make Father
see that. I'm like a drug fiend.
I love him and I don't want to
love him. He's Snide, he's
swine, I keep telling myself.
And now that Leslie's going to
have a kid, that makes me twice

wrapping herself in her arms,
as if to withdraw from posi-

threat, "I1l kill myself"

How can I talk quietly to

She snatched it from her
mothers hands and began to
twist it the shape of her own
twisted lips. Leave me alone!

wrist, jerking her toward him
until her teeth gave a click.
