Baseball Broadcast
By @PUTTsn SULLIVAN.

Paraphrasing the songbird who warb-
led rs it true what they say about
Dixie"-we'd say ARE you telling US"
Those Darkies from below the Ma
son-Dixon Line-away down Arke-
delphia way-sure know how to take
the measure of the Freebourns lads.
They have registered S wins over the
first half leaders and lost nary a game
to them. And does it tickle the risibles
OF their manager, Doug. Jackson, who
l%aughingly a There's no one we'd
sooner beat than Freebourns.' Which
gives us a chance to say, there's no
one we'd sooner see play" Unless it's
the Anaconda and Silver Bow Park
Clubs. These two teams have played
more tie games than the Cocolala
Tigers have seasons And its always
anybody's ball game. | won't mention
the time the Parks reached into the
shakespeare to pick up seven run and
nose the smelterites. It wouldn't be
ethical;- Anaconda is now leading the
league. Parks are pressing them tho
and | believe when the Smelterites
come to town, the tailor shop analogy
will be complete-cleaned, pressed,
trimmed and practically sewn up. Ana
conda has revamped their lineup this
year. Johnny Stregar who led the
%clouters this time last year has been
moved up to catcher and shows his
coach's faith in versatility has not been
misplaced. Besides holding those kid
pitchers down. he's still a dangerous
man with the shillelagh. Sells, aged
but active veteran, plays and talks
a good game. | say talk" because it
keeps the kids dauber from going
horizontal and is a necessary attribute
to any club. Parks Tor some unknown
reason refuse to play for keeps until
the s%econd-half and then they look
like the N. Y. Yankees. OF cour e
they had some difficulties with per-
onell-Wagner was out with an inju-
ry, Bergman had not reported and
Nettleton was trying to do too much
work. But Manager Gabse in the
meantime uncovered Jimmie Hartwig,
former American Legion boy athlete,
and the lad proved his mettle. Jimmie
is a and with another year Of
experience under his belt, he'll be
tough for any Of the boys to touch
with a willow. Orlich and Girard have
improved considerably over their last
years play and altogether for team
work and cooperation the boys from
the flat have one OF the best clubs
in the league now. This nightmare
Of a columnist would not be c ON
plete however if | didn't mention Pat
Kenny. Pat is the worlds toughest
luck pitcher. When he's setting them
down, his team can't get any runs.
When they got 9 runs last week against
East Helena's new club, Pat had his
passport to baseballs hall OF fame
when in the last inning Frank Vessel
got one on the handle for a blooper
hit. See you mex week.

Born Free

I'VE want you to handle our bust
ness in this county" and the spokes-
man for one of Montana's largest rail
roads sat back, a satisfied smile on his
face.
The smile disappeared, as he heard
the reply.
THAT is a nice compliment. 1t means
you think have some ability, as a
lawyer. Since | started practicing law,
almost 20 years ago, have always
been on the side OF the man who works
for a living I intend to stick with
him"
That was the answer of Montana's
next attorney general. The man to
whom the Investigating Committee Of
the House, at the last session OF the
state legislature, entrusted, as their at
torney, the investigation OF the activi-
ties Of the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. and the Montana Power company
in politics. Chairman Fowler, of that
committee, said, when he called Free
bourn by phone, 81 have never met
you, but from reputation you are the
one lawyer, in Montana, l can trust
to handle this !"
A fine lawyer and orator, Freebourn
is one of Montana's most interesting
characters. He has a family of five
children. One boy is a student at Mon
tana University, another is at the Mon
tana State School of Mines. Freebourn
is the first lawyer to ever serve a
third term as County Attorney OF Sill
yer Bow County, which position he
now holds. He had no opposition in
the Democratic primaries for his third
term.
He is loved by the rank and file OF
his people. Not only for his ability
and broadminded, sympathetic nature,
but because he has always stood be-
hind the miners and organized labor
in their strikes and struggles.
The erring boy has a friend in Free
bourn. He believes that one mistake
does not make a boy hopeless. Ath-
letics help keep boys right, that is why
Freebourn has sponsored more athletic

I ORD KELVIN, who put science
L. to work for humanity, was
born 112 years ago. No ceremonies
are needed to commemorate his
birth. Every cablegram that is sent.
every mechanical refrigerator, ev'
cry ship at seattle age of cleo
tricity itself-are memorials to his
greatness.
Lord Kelvin formulated the laws
of thermodynamics, making posi-
BILE the development of the mechan'
ical refrigerator. in recognition OF
which, Kelvinator Corporation,
pioneer in electric refrigerator man
ufacture in the United States,
named their product and organiza-
ton in his honor. Scientists in the
field OF thermodynamics refer to
absolute zero as zero degrees Kel-
win, measuring all changes in tenn
perature on the Kelvin scale.
Lord Kelvin developed the first
instruments for measuring electri-
city, the electrometers and electric
current balances.
When the Atlantic Telegraph
Company was formed to lay the
first transatlantic cable. Lord Kel-
vim was placed on the board Of
directors. The Job proved too diff
fcult for the engineers, SO the bril-
liant English scientist showed them
how it should be done.

terested Lord Kelvin greatly. Com
passes were not very accurate In
those Gays So Lord Kelvin created
a compass based on entirely new
principles. This compass, though
modified somewhat, is still in use
today.
Lord Kelvin's major interest
however. was In the study Of heat
the science OF thermodynamics. So
great was his recognition OF the
Importance of temperature, his BIZ
ographers report. that he always
carried a thermometer in his vest
pocket. 1t enabled him to know,
among other things, whether the
room in which he sat was being
kept at proper temperature for
maximum efficiency. just as the
built-in thermometer in every kel-
vinator enables the housewife to
know if her food is being kept at
the proper temperature for maxi
mum safety.
Lord Kelvin was born in Belfast,
Ireland on June rs. 1924. He died
on December II, 1907 and was bur
led in Westminste Abbey On his
death, Sir Richard G%laze5rook said:
in the century that has passed the
progress of the world has been
great; and toward that progress
there were few men-may say
there was no man-who contribu-
ted more than Lord Kelvin"

Many of young people, discouraged by the de-
pessmstic outlook for the future They fail to realize
that their enforced leisure offers them opportunity to
improve themselves intellectually by attending some Of
the many classes which being offered free through

ambitious young and women who take advantage OF
the courses of study available will valuable asset

to break up the flow of traffic at
regular intervals. AS each light
changes does not ALWAYS carry
its full quota of moving cars, a
careful timing of cars entering
stop streets reveals the inter-
esting fact that the average wait
for a CLEAR entry is less than
IL seconds.
The fastest intersection lights
break at intervals of 81 seconds,
so this average wait of IL seconds
is far from unreasonable. Well
worth the safety, don't you think
so?
Traffic engineers recognize the
fact that high average speeds are
obtained by the uniform movement
of vehicles, not by high maximum
speed. YOU will observe this
method of entering "STOP" streets
you will aid materially in promot-
ing a uniform movement of traffic
on them-which in turn will help
YOU.

Judge ID. ]. Healy, Jr. of the
Wayne County Probate Court. who
is generally recognized as Friend
OF Youth" issues the following
statements through the Tribune, in
which he appeals to the people of
the community to cooperate in the
courts efforts at juvenile delin
quency. Judge Healy writes:
Community participation in the
prevention of delinquency and
crime is fast becoming a national
movement. That the courts are en-
couraging neighborhood efforts to
free the country of conditions
which breed crime, and that the
courts welcome community assis-
lance in the treatment of delin-
Quency, does not mean that the
courts are trying to throw back
upon the shoulders of the citizens
burden which was laid unequi-
vocally upon the shoulders Of the
courts and the law enforcement
agencies 1t means simply that the
community wishes to help the
courts carry the sponsibility.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS

On the twelfth and fourteenth of each February we
honor the memory of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick
Douglass whose ifestores inseparatey enwined
with the history of the United States They will
live forever in the hearts of our people.
," Lincoln and Douglass had much in common They
both were deprived of the advantages of early education
and had to almost nsurmountabe obstacles as
they climbed upward from obscurity to fame
Lincoln had the advantage of having been born free
and without the prescriptions of Douglass was born
slave but he freed himself and made mark in life in
spite of his racial handcaps and previous condition of
servitude.
We owe great debt of gratitude to Lincoln, the
Emancipation who signed the Proclamation which set four
millions of people free Whether the Emancipation
Proclamation issued for humanitarian
measure the fact remains that it issued and
suited in the emancipation of
We also are eternay indebted to Douglass whose
eloquent speeches throughout the north and in England
following his escape from slavery played small part
in creating militant public sentiment against human
slavery.
All honor to Lincoln and Douglass.

After the scare of threatening

cal for Ethiopia After Invaders
Withdraw 40 Miles"
The truth is, the Hell on
Wheels" drive in Southern ETH
opia by General Graziani is now
viewed as a blunder in strategy,
for the Italian line stretching
across the south from Noghelli to
Gerlogubi, is thin and lacks rein
forcement. The Philippians are
not slow to recognize their advan-
tage. and are now marching
the Webbe Shibeh, river for an
attack on the center of the line
at Imi, by which they plan to cut
off Graziani from the east and an
initiate his handful of men.
Rome herself admits the danger
of Grazianis position, in a special
dispatch to the New York Times
from Arnoldo Cortesi, who saws:
This threat is more real than
might at first be imagined. Gen
eral Graziani has from the start
of his drive suffered from a scar
city of men. AS a result the great
er part of the Italian Southern
line is lightly held by small flying
columns of mobile troops"
