KELSEY ENDORSED


Senator Kelsey was endorsed by
the Trades and Labor Council for the
position now held by Ray Hart. Sen
ator Kelsey, according to reports, had
already been endorsed by the Cascade
Trades and Labor Council, Anaconda
Trades Council, the Liberty Political
League, Farmers Union, and the State
Council of Electrical Workers. In the
discussion which lead to the endorse
ment Of Senator Kelsey, it was brought
out that labor unions should be more
particular about choosing men from
their own ranks. Bill Riddell, Secre-
tary of the Coal Miners Union of Bill
lings, was also mentioned along with
Kelsey, but the Council seemed to feel
that inasmuch as Riddell already had
an appointment, to add his name to the
endorsement would not result in any
particular value to him or to the labor
organizations, but might weaken the
chance of labor to get what it wanted.
In order to have a mort systematic
method of making endorsements and
in order also to be more fully cog
infant of prospective jobs, it was sug-
gested that a standing committee be
established, whose duty it would be,
to keep in touch with all new appoint
ments and prospective appointments so
that labor would have advance notice.
No action was taken on this sugges-
ton as it was brought out that the
Trades and Labor Council now has
a Legislative Committee created for
practically the same purpose.
A phase OF the relief not formerly
mentioned was brought out at the
meeting Tuesday night. Many heads
of families who had been working have
been compelled to take care of their
relations and other attaches of the
family, merely because this head of the
family was working. The relatives were
prohibited from receiving any relief
because one man or n woman in
the family was working. This puts
a tremendous burden on the should
ers Of one individual. 1t is true that
there is no pleasure in being on relief
there is no money to spend and the
actions OF the relief subject is confined
and restricted to visits t. the relief
headquarters and the acceptance Of
what ever is doled out, but the man
who is working and trying to support
a flock of relatives finds himself con
stantly increasing in debt, so that il
might pay him to quit his job and botf
he and all his relatives go on relief
Charlie Sebold, former editor Of The
Montana Labor News, is now the ad'
,ninietratnr for relief in Dauson Conn.

From the reports OF the delegates,
the Tuberculosis Association is very
much in need OF an X-ray machine.
The tuberculosis Headquarters is 10
Gated in the Court House. This or
ganization is doing a splendid work in
checking the ravages Of tuberculosis
but they are very much in need OF
money. An application may be made,
so it was reported, for money from the
Federal Government. One Of the dele
gates suggested that the Anaconda
Company should contribute at least a
part of the money to buy the X-ray
machine.
The X-ray pictures are rather ex-
pensive and if this part Of the ex-
pense WA eliminated the money could
be used to carry or the work instead
of being given to some technician to
take and develop the pictures.

Freed Of Blame
For Quake in India

tell a vivid story to the priest,
astronomer.
They tell him where the dis
turbance occurred, how far below
the surface the upheaval came,
and the time and duration. They
tell him what the character of
the rock and earth is over which
the tremors travelled. They tell
him whether the shock passed
through bodies of water.
. There are tides of land just as
there are tides of water, according
to Father Sohon, but no one
really understands the mechanics
of these upheavals in the bowels
of the earth.
Earth Off Balance
The theory, he says, is that the
earth is out of balance still, de-
spite the fact that it has been
trying to pull itself into a we'll
rounded whole for some millions
of years. He said:
mountains are washed away
and sediment is accumulated on .
ocean beds over a period OF
years and centuries, resulting
in a very considerable change
of weight and pressure. When
these pent-up forces become suf-
ficient to offset the friction
which holds rock and earth to-
other, all that is needed to set
a quake in motion is the action
of some trigger-SOme straw to
break the camelS back"
Atmospheric pressure frequently
furnishes this trigger action,
Father Sohon said, pointing out:
eff a low pressure area de-
velops, say a drop Of an inch
and a half on the barometer,
which would mean q dimunitiOn
of about a pound in the normal
pressure of Is pounds per square
inch, a sort of suction is applied
which might very well release a
quake. Over any considerable

Airplane Model
Flies Too Well,
Leaves Home

Missing: One airplane. Finder
please return to T. J. Tinsley,
1921 Hiatt Pl. N. w.
It's grand cabin job, a red
and silver monoplane, and it
took him months to construct
it.
The plane is a model, with
an eight-foot wing span, and it
has a small gasoline engine and
really flies.
Sunday Mr.. Tinsley took it
out in Arlington county, back
of the Episcopal Seminary, set
the controls and started it off.
1t climbed to an altitude of
about 1000 feet and flew sew
eral miles. But instead of re-
turning to him as he had
planned in setting the rudder,
it disappeared over the trees.
The last saw of it the plane
was soaring off toward the
horizon.

"zebbie" won't grow up to be
adored, but he's happy, any
way.
If he lived in India, as age
overlook him, he would be ven.
Grated by the natives of that
country.
But fortunately, or unfor-
tunately, for "zebbie," he lives
at the National Geological Park
instead, which means that he is
not an object of alteration, but
a spectacle for the Sunday after
noon stroller in the Zoo.
"Zebbie" is a zebu, which is
something like an OK, and he is
exactly nine days old.

The judge in the case was

and now holds the chair of pro-

AS curator of the Georgetown

Father Sohon speaks with au'
thority when he states:
"Our instruments show that
the Baluchistan quake was of

is not the cause of earthuakes;
it acts as a trigger which sets
off forces already stored in the

But records show that the

KINDS OF QUAKES
Father Sohon explained that
there are three fundamental
earthquake types. These are sur
face" quakes, normal" quakes
which occur from five to six miles
below the surface of the earth.
and "deep-focus" quakes which are
some three hundred miles under
our feet.

Howard University Professors
Get Bids to Summer
Course in Red Capital

|
Although not certain whether
he will accept, DR.. Aliane Locke,
head of Howard University'S phi
losophy department, has been in
vited to attend a summer course
at the University of Moscow, in
Soviet Russia.
It was learned today that SINH
lar invitations were extended to
other members of the local uni
versity faculty, but were declined.
DR.. Locke, nationally known
Negro educator. said if he should
decide to go to the Russian in
stitution, he will study primarily
Russian folk arts. and secondarily
the Russion minority view, He
pointed out that he was the
author of a book, THE New
Negro" which deals with a cul-
tural minority view, and conse-
quently was interested in the sub
ject.
European Study
Nearly every summer for the
last 20 years in which he has
been connected with the univer-
sity, DR.. Locke said, he has gone
to some European institution OF
learning for courses in philosophy
and the arts.
DR.. Mordecai w. johnson,
president of the university, said
he had not been informed of the
invitations extended to DR.. Locke
and other members of the fac
ulty. He stated:
whatever the members OF
the faculty do with their time
during the summer is entirely
their own business.
But I can tell you this. You
need have no fear that COmmu-
nism or any other ism will be
taught in Howard University.
The members of the faculty in
all departments, particularly in
the social science department,
understand that this admins
tration will not stand for the
propagation of any political doc.
trine in the classroom. This
not only includes Communism,
but Socialism, Republicanism
and the doctrines of the Demo
cratic party"
Cites Straw Vote
DR.. Johnson recalled that a
mock election is held at the uni
verSity each year, patterned after
the last presidential election. The
results, he said, afford an insight
into how the students stand re-
garding political trends. In each
election held during the nine years
he has headed the institution, DR..
Johnson said, the majority of bal
lots were cast for the two major
political parties, very small mi
nority for the Socialist party"
and only a handful of votes"
for the Communist candidate. "
DR.. Johnson said he was in
formed of rumors which had been
circulated to the effect that Com
munist doctrines had been taught
at the institution, but investiga-
ton proved them unfounded. He
said:
"About five years ago there
was a rumOr that was a Com.
muniSt. Before came to this
university, / was a Christian
minister. am not Commu-
mist and even if 1 wanted to be-
come one, I would have to give
up my religion, which 1 would
not do"

Appealing for liberalization Of
District divorce laws, representa-.
tives of various civic organizations
appeared today before the sub

OF the legislative committee Of
the Women's Bar Association, de.
picted Arlington county, Va, as
the District divorce mill'' and
asked for adoption of the Car
penter bill for liberalization Of
the present code here.
The Carpenter bill as amended
by the Senate would liberalize the

divorce on the grounds of adul.

separation for consecutive years

Bottles Dated as Early
as 1925, Authority Saws

It was between 1925 and 1850
that bottles were first dated, al
though they had been made before
that time, according to an author
ity quoted in the Detroit News. The
first bottles were globular with very
little depression in the base. They
were of dark ugly olive green or
more frequently olive amber, with
a long neck and prominent ring
about the neck.
Between 1875 and 1725 the style
Of the bottle changed to that with
a wider base becoming almost
squatty and having the long neck
still but a deep depression in the
base.
The fourth type Of bottle is the
modern cylindrical liquor container,
all four styles belonging to the
blown glass family.
From about 1775 to 1900 bottles
were blown in half clay molds, ia
pering from the top to the bottom
slightly. About 1910 American mer-
chants branded their liquor by let
tering the bottles, these bottles be-
ing nodded in two vertical pieces.
Then came the period of quantity
production. Aside from liquor bot
ties there were many types made
for household use, among these be-
ing a type termed the chestnut
shaped bottle, with fattened sides.
