BRICK IS OUTSTANDING
BUILDING MATERIAL
Pioneer Fuel and Brick Co. Have One of the Few Manufac-
turing Concerns in Silver Bow County. High Grade
Brick Featured at Reasonable Prices. Also
Washed Sand and Gravel and Concrete Materials.

The history of the brick and tile business is one that dates
back to ancient times. Indeed, if one travels through the
ancient Holy Land one will see the ruins of many ancient
and historic buildings which owe their exemption from OBJ
liberation to the fact that they were constructed Of brick. An
outstanding example of these buildings is the ruins of King
Northumberland palace in Babylon, whose walls, though
they are 1900 years old, still stand and are made of brick
as they made them in those days.
In all the centuries that have elapsed since those early
times no building material has been found which would sup
plant brick at the same cost. No building material has been
found which would supply the longevity, the GOODNESS in sum
mer and the warmth in winter, that is characteristic of brick.
The Pioneer Fuel and Brick Company is one of the most
valuable assets Of which this community boasts. One of the
most important benefits derived from their activity is the
fact that by reason of their local presence they have and do
save the local building trade hundreds of dollars in freight
rates that would be necessary if it was necessary to ship

Scientists Unable to
Explain "Cosmic Rays.

For many years scientists have
been puzzled by rays of enormous
penetrating power which are found
to reach every part Of the earth's
surface. The most powerful X-rays
are completely stopped by less than
a quarter of an inch Of lead; these
cosmic rays, as they are called, pass
easily through 16 feet of lead. What
are they and whence do they come?
1t is known that they come from
outside the earth, for no response
is obtained when detecting apparat-
US is used at the bottom of deep
coal mine. Sir James Jeans be-
lieved they were caused by the an
Inhalation of matter at the very con-
fines of the universe. DR.. Robert
Millikan held the opposite view. He
believed they were brought about by
the creation Of matter, and he called
them the birth cries Of nature"
These rays can now be counted
as they arrive by means of an amaz-
ing electrical device known as the
Geiger counter. They dart through
the vessel filled with electrified gas,
and as each impulse arrives it causes
click to be uttered by a loud
speaker. Intensive research in con-
nection with cosmic rays is being
carried on, and interesting discov-
cries may be in store.

of Dessert Delicacy

While the rest of England walked

cramming himself with luscious ice
cream. The greedy monarch, fear
full lest the recipe might leak out," :"

him. with a bountiful supply of

secret.
The first recipe for ice cream is
reported to have been published in
Rome by Quintus Maximus Gurges.
Water ices and milk ices were in
troduced into Europe from Asia by
Marco Polo. After this introduc-
ton, it was popular at the banquet
tables of royalty in Germany, France
and England. The first wholesale
ice cream business was introduced
by James Frussell Of Baltimore, ac-
cOrding to the National Dairy coun-
ell. He owned a dairy and utilized
the surplus cream for making ice
cream. The sideline soon proved
more profitable than the original
milk business. Although still a
dish for kings, ice cream is now en-
joyed by almost every one. Last

GOVERNOR BUCK
AT WHITE HOUSE
Given Seat of Honor Beside
First Lady at State Dinner
Last Friday Night
SEATING AT THE DINNER

The governors Of half the ma
tons states, some of whom now
are seeking a more permanent res
idence in the White House, Friday
night dined with its present occu-
pants, President and Mrs. Hoover.
White-haired Governor Pollard, Of
Virginia, occupied the seat of hon
or upon Mrs. Hoover's right by vir-
tue Of having been host to the con
ference just concluded. Governor
Buck of Delaware, sat at the First
Lady's left, his State being the
first to enter the Union. The seat
ing schedule originally drawn by
the authorities upon rank and
precedent at White House func-
tions was based upon a list obtain
ed at the Governors Conference,
but one Of the Presidents secre-
taries explained during the day
that the date of each states en-
trance into the Union was decisive
in the final seating. This followed
"the customary White House pol
icy Of the past 100 years" Sprink-
led among the gubernatorial fig
ures entering a mansion brilliantly
illuminated in their honor were
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New
York, leading Democratic Presi-
Dental aspirant; Albert Q. Ritchie,
Of Maryland, also Democratic
candidate; George White, of Ohio,
a Democratic favorite son candi-
date, and Clifford Pinchot, of Penn
sylvania, an opponent of the Presi-
dent within the Republican party.
1t was in an atmosphere of politi-
cal truce, however, that Mr.. Hoov-
er entertained the state executives
and there wives and hostesses.
They came as members of the an
nual conference of governors just
concluded at Richmond, Va. As
the guests moved from under the
great chandeliers of the East
Room into dark panelled oblong
of the State Dining Room, they
found place cards somewhat alter
ed from the seating schedule first
drawn up by White House social
arbiters. Under the first list,
Roosevelt was placed but one seat
away from the President. Friday
night Pinchot occupied that place,
while Mrs. Pinchot, defeated in
Tuesdays primary in Pennsylvania
by Representative McFadden, sat
upon Mr.. Hoover's right. The New
York governor was given a seat at
the oblong table nearer the door
way of the dining room, five or six
places removed from the Chief Ex-
ecutive. Ritchies seat was nearby.
