STORY RELATED
NEBRASKAN WHO KNEW WOMAN
SAYS HER NAME WAS MRS.
MATTE BURK

Comes now Tom Rivington, colorful
old-timer Of Gering, Neb, with q Diff
ferent version on the life Of "Calam-
ity" Jane, and a rejoinder to Alder
man Tom Woods, of Butte, whose as
sertion that Calamity had no daugh-
ter, "is without foundation"
Rivington, a veteran Of scores Of
early day experiences in the west,
claims to have known Calamity in what
he terms were her "boisterous" DAYS
and to have "paled' around with her in
Montana.
Calamity, he asserts, was really Mrs.
Matte Jane Burk, wife of Jim Burk,
Her daughter, he insists, was Martha
Burk.
Jane, he said, was the Florence
Nightingale" of the Black hills region.
She waded through snowdrifts to aid
sick miners and preached many a SER
mon in conjunction with Rev. DR..
Smith, a pastor at Deadwood, S. D.
But when she worked as a bull
whacker in Montana, Rivington added,
"she Il mbasted the oxen until they
pulled Tor all they were worth" He
claims to have worked with Calamity
on many bullwhacking jobs.
1t was during the Black hills gold
rush day, the old-timer adds, that Jane
gained the notoriety her memory now
enyos in connection with scores of
bizarre happenings.
L remember n evening in a sa-
loon in the hills" he reminisced, when
Calamity was watching a bunch of the
boys play the chips. I walked up to her
and pointed to a new hat, hanging on
a peg on the back bar"
Bet you S25 you can't hit it." he said
he challenged.
Jane promptly answered by "whang-
ing away with her gun, tearing the
WI out of the hat"

Gold Nuggets Found
in Butte Gas Station

William Jeffrey Jr, and a companion
drove their auto of ancient vintage in
to a Butte service station.
Explaining they were a "bit down ON
their luck" the prospectors offered the
attendant a share in a find" they had
staked out near Helena if sufficient
gasoline to finish the trip was forth
coming.
The attendant smiled and refused.
Despondent, Jeffrey stepped into q
washroom. He emerged shouting,
brandishing two nuggets he said he
found in a corner.
The nuggets assayed $57 in gold.

WHEN New and Improved Conoco Germ
Processed Motor Oil was perfected, it had
fabrication values so great that a mere
statement of them would seem absurd.
Could you believe that any strictly stock
motor could run 4,72e miles on just five
quarts of oil before wrecking itself? It did
and Conoco proved it in competition
with five widely known, nationally adver-
tised, quality brands of motor oil!
The competition was held at the Indian

vision of the Contest Board, American

Automobile Association. Six new, strictly
stock cars, we're used-a different oil of
the same S. A. E. grade in each.
After the cars were broken in for $500
miles, they were drained, examined and a
fresh fill of five quarts put in each crank
case. No more oil was added. Then the
crankcases were sealed by an AAA official.
The real test began. It was ordered that
they be driven at an average of 500 miles
aday at so miles an hour until their motors
failed to operate. Oil No. 4 was first to
fail at 1882 miles. Oil Nc. 6 failed at
1854 miles. Oil No. S ruined its motor
at 1859 miles; three of them were out
of the running. The next day Oil No. l
failed to lubricate and, its motor wrecked,
stopped at 2,266.8 miles.
Two cars-two oils-still left in the test.
Oil No. 8, after a remarkable run of
3,3l8.8 miles, anne to a shuddering stop,

vital oil, labeled No. 2, went on and on.
On the tenth day, at an almost unbeliev-
able total of 4,729 miles, it failed-an all
timerecordm mileage a total offvequarts!
The Hidden Quart" of new oily pene-
trativeness won-the greater film strength
and higher resistance to the effects of dilu-
tion-the absence of carbon and sludge-
all aided in this great achievement. It
firmly supported Conoco's patented prin-
ciple of added oiliness-it proved every
claim. Conoco alone a make oil this
way. It is covered by recent United States
patents.

costs no more than other quality oils.

Sikorsky S-42 Put Through PAGES
With Ranking Naval
Officers Aboard.

With several ranking naval aviation
officers aboard, the Sikorsky S-42,
largest airplane ever to visit Washing
ton, was put through series of fight
tests today for the Navy Bureau of
Aeronautics. When the tests are con-
cludej, the big ship, capable of car
rying load equivalent to 107 passen-
gers, is to leave for Miami in prepa-
ration of transoceanic service.
The demonstrations this morning
included landings and take-offs. full
throttle runs and demonstrations of
ability to fly with one of the four
engines out Of operation. The Navy
is studying the possibilities of the big
ship for long-range patrol and bonn
bardment work. Late today it is an

be flown.
All the tests today were flown by

by the ASSOCldIeQ FreSS.
Important advances toward removal
Of international trade barriers were
seen today in the prospective early
conclusion of three reciprocal trade
agreements and French ratification OF
a treaty eliminating double taxation
upon French subsidiaries of American
firms.
Soon after the New Year of IA
tariff agreements now under con-
sideration are to be signed under
legislation enacted at the last session
of Congress authorizing the President
to reduce import duties on specified
products in return for similar con-
cessions by other nations.
The action of the French Chamber
Of Deputies in approving the Tardieu-
Edge compact was hailed last night
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States as evidence that the
two nations are willing to forego
immediate gain to their respective
revenues to the advantage of an in
crease in trade and commerce between
the two countries"
Officials of the State Department
strongly intimated that reciprocal
trade treaties with Brazil, Colombis
and Haiti would be concluded soon

Gov. Eccles added that a mis-
understanding" appeared to have
arisen because the Reserve Board, in
announcing its order making SINH
lar reduction in deposit rates in men,
ber banks, referred to the action Of
the Deposit Insurance Corp.
Both actions, he said, were taken

"The boards statement" he con-
tinued, carried this reference because
there was abundant reason for believ-
ing that both member banks and their
depositors would be vitality concerned
by the rates of interest which might
be paid by competing non-member
banks"
He said the Reserve Boards orders
reducing rates in member banks was
taken in accordance with provisions
of the banking act of 1888, and he
added that both the Reserve Board
and the Deposit Insurance Corp. had
made similar moves in the past.
In Lynchburg, Va. Senator Glass
commented:
He evidently has not read my letter
to Mr.. (Charles s. Hamlin (member
of the Federal Reserve Board to whom
he made his criticism), or, if he has,
seems unable to understand it."
Glass, in his letter to Hamlin, de-
clared Crowley had disclaimed any re-
sponsibility for the statement that the
Deposit Corp. had matched the Re-
serve Board order with an interest-cut
order. Glass argued that the two
agencies had no power to tell banks
not members Of the Federal Reserve
system that they should cut interest
from to 212 per cent.

Goods More Liberal.
College co-eds, they found, were
slightly more liberal even than college
bows. The co-eds' mothers, likewise,
were more liberal than the fathers of
the boys.
Many college and high school STU
dents probably would be in favor OF
some radical steps that would go be-
yond the present scope of the New
Deal, the educators said, including
Government ownership of railroads,
public regulation of business and heavy
taxation of large fortunes and in
comes.
College students are more radical
however, because they realize they are
facing a less secure world than in 1881
the educators believe. They are more
concerned with seeking new hope and
reasonable certainty in the future than
with liberalism or conservatism as Is
sues in themselves. Their increased
radicalism is not due to more radical
teachings in the schools and universe
