MONT ANA VOTERS
GET CRACK ar TWO
hot CONTROVERSIES

Whether Montana brides may be
married at home in the presence
of friends and relatives or must go
to an adjoining state TO escape the
tolls of Montana's gin marriage
act will be determined by the
voters at the general election on
Nov. 8. The gin marriage act,
which created a furore and brought
Montana much undesirable publicity,
is now, by petition, imperative,
pending results of the referendum
in November Along with this
measure is the compulsory state
fire insurance act, which is also
to be repealed or continued by
the act Of the voters next November
The gin marriage act is referen-
dunn No. SO. The compulsory state
fire insurance referendum is No. 81.
Mayor Ralph L. Arnold Of Mis-
soula, president Of the Montana
School Boards Association, is par
ticularly vigorous in his comment
on compulsory state fire insur
ance law and points out that 1t
has increased the cost of insurance
on public buildings. including every
school house in the state, and has
made 1t compulsory that these
buildings be insured not only
against fire, but for eight other
.ypes of protection as well, whether
necessary in the community or not.
The Montana Association OF Coun-
" Commissioners has opposed the
state fire insurance law
llso. vehemently expressing their
opinion Of it in resolutions adopted !

Nalls. In this meeting they asked

Aids
For College
Bound Miss
Helpful Supply List
of Essentials
Given.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

T AGREE that the girl Of primary
school age should have merely
those aids to cleanliness and personal
hygiene which form the basis Of all
beauty. I agree, too, that the girl Of
high school age needs very few, If any,
cosmetics. But I don't agree that the
girl Of college age doesn't need beauty
aids.
True, she should be the picture Of
health. True, she shouldn't need
rouge but have her own healthy color,
but what If she hasn't any color?
True, too, that astringents, chin
straps, pore creams and lotions are
not for her. She shouldn't need cor
receives.
But a simple, basic program for
preservation-yes. And then, en-
hancement to her hearts content,
providing the purse permits, of course.
1 said the other day that the college
| girl should have the minimum beauty
aids that will do the maximum good.
That minimum is up to the individual
to decide.
| I would head the college girls list
with bath accessories. Even before
face creams. A bath brush (and what
gems there are on the MARKET, bath
salts or bath essence, eau de cologne.
bath oil-any number of things for
sheer luxury, her individual bath
soap, wash cloths, luscious towels with
her personal monogram. II these
don't instill love for loveliness moth
ing will Deodorants, non-spirants,
bath busting or talcum powder should
be on every list. If these bath acces-
sories have any perfume at all 1t
should be ever so subtle so as not to
conflict with other toilet articles she
may wish to use.
For her skin a complexion brush,
a cleansing cream, skin tonic and
| light nourishing cream for use around
the eyes only, if her skin is generally
normal, or on entire face and neck If
it is dry. A foundation cream or
lotion is optional
Makeup: A cream rouge for
| foundation makeup and q compact
for repair work to heighten or add
color. Compacts are handy things for
the college girl to carry in her purse,
and there are doubles or triples with
rouge, powder, lip pomade or lip color
ing-even more elaborate ones with
eye-shadow and mascara. Eye
makeup, in my opinion, however,
should be confined to evening use
only. A little eyelash brush and a
little oil will do much to enhance the
eye winkers.
Cleansing tissues by the box, extra
powder puffs or cotton squares to be
used for applying cream and powder
should be on the must" list, along
with the hair and toothbrush.
| AS for luxuries-no end. Perfume,
little dram bottles if you can't afford
larger sizes. But at least one little
dram or three different ones for her
ego's sake, please.

10 MUCH is said about the college
girl and her clothes require
ments that We are apt to over
- look that larger army of little
students who pass out doors so gayly
on their way to the grade schools in
such numbers that they more than
fill them to capacity. All these eager
youngsters demand something new to
start of the Fall term to the best
advantage, and even though their style
requirements are not exacting, they
do need a generous supply to with
stand the hard wear and tear of riot
ious recess periods and the various
accidents that frequently occur.
We have found these children's de-
partments humming with activity.
One little fellow wanted to see what
we were writing in the notebook while
big sister was entranced at seeing SO
many beautiful party frocks. But that
has nothing to do with school!
Featured in the new school clothes
are wool-finished cottons in challis
types, plaids and tweeds, that all
launder nicely. Most delightful of the
cotton prints are the chintz patterns,
usually with shocking and small
round white collars. Rickrack, both

The Old Gardener Says:

Beets, carrots and turnips need
not be harvested before danger
of severe freezing of the ground.
They will keep on growing until
the end of the season. When
they are taken into the cellar,
however, they should be kept at
q temperature of 80 to 40 de-
grees, If possible. One good way
to keep them from rotting Is to
pack them in boxes with leaves
or soil around them. If put
away in barrels, it Is best to use
little soil or q few leaves in the
bottom, with more soil or leaves
on top. Parsnips need to be
frozen to develop their best quail
ties, but those for Winter use
must be dug before the ground
freezes. They wilt very quickly
and care must be taken to cover
them with soil or leaves when
taken into the cellar. Potatoes
deteriorate If kept at a tempera-
ture which goes below IS degrees.
even If not frozen, and they suffer
to an even greater extent If ex-
posed to the sun. When q num-
ber Of potatoes are stored In q
bin 1t Is well to dust them with
air-slaked lime or plaster.

BEANS, because they are

BEANS, because they are
green and succulent, make
pleasant contrast to sweet corn, and
are best when cooked by the simplest
method. Get them as fresh from the
garden as possible, wash them thor
oughly, remove the strings and the
tips and break or cut them in short
pieces. Drop them into a small
quantity of boiling water. To pre-
serve their green color, cook them un-
covered, and until just tender, but
still a little crisp. That will take
probably IS or 20 minutes. Best of
all ways. If time permits, is to shred
the beans-i. e., cut them lengthwise,
either with a knife or with a bean
shredder. thus getting rid Of the
strings. Season green beans with but
ter, pepper and salt, or with crisp
bits Of salt pork or bacon.
"The tomatoes, which are at their
best just now, we will use in raw
salad of lettuce and tomatoes, to
supply textures, fiavors and colors not
furnished by either Of the cooked vege-
tables. The lettuce must be cool and
crisp, the tomato ripe and fresh. Dip
it in hot water long enough to loosen
the skin, remove the skin and chill
the tomato. Just before serving time
cut the tomato in quarters which
hold together at the stem end. Serve
in the midst of curling lettuce leaves,
the tomato sections opening at the
top. French dressing-plain or with
roquefort cheese crumbled into it
and a crisp cracker 60 with this cool
salad.
with fruit for desert, there are
such choices now in different parts
of the country as fresh grapes, pears,
plums, melons and peaches. Pears are
good baked, and served with hot little
cup cakes. Peaches should be sliced
Just before serving and spripkled with
sugar, to keep them, so far as possible,
from turning dark before they are
used. Melons should be thoroughly
cooled before cutting; or, with cut
surfaces protected, the pieces should
be in a refrigerator. Cracked ice in
half a cantaloupe or honey ball
washes out the flavor and makes the
flesh soft and watery.
WHERE damsons or other plums are
to be had, plum pie might we'll
be the dessert for this dinner. But
fruit pies are sometimes hard to make.
For such juicy fruits, one way to avoid
a soggy pie crust, says the Bureau OF
Home Economics, is to bake the bot
tom crust first, very lightly, then put
in the filling and cover the pie with
thin layer of pastry, which is then
turned over the edge of the bottom
crust, and the pie put in the oven
again. Slashes in the upper crust al
low the steam to escape as the pie
cooks. Bake until the crust is nicely
Drowned. A good fruit pie has a ten
der, f1aky crust, which holds the juice
without soaking it up, and bakes
without any of the juice running over
on the top crust. Fruit pie is exceed
ingly good served hot.
"a good grape pudding is made Of
Concord grape juice and pulp thick
ened with tapioca until it is jellylike,
but soft enough to drop from spoon.
This makes a simple and attractive
dessert, because of its rich grape flavor
and deep color. Topped with whipped
cream it is still more attractive.
1.-THE simplest bread for this dinner
would be thin slices or little rolls. Hot
biscuit might be more attractive
little biscuit, nicely Drowned"

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands and Wives Set Their Own
Standards for Happy Marriage.

ness, yet who never forgive you If you
suggest that they leave the husbands
who so nl-treat them.
WHEN we hear poor, abject, hen
pecked man say "ma'a to his
wife and meekly submitting to her
tyrannies, we weep over his suffer-
ings. When we behold a clever man
married to dull, stupid woman, or q
refined intelligent woman married to
coarse brute of a man, or a warm
hearted, affectionate woman tied to
a human frigidaire, we think what
failures their marriages are and how
unhappy these poor creatures un-
equally yoked together must be.
In which conclusion We are probably
wrong ninety-nine times out of a
hundred. The fighters get a kick out
of scrapping and wouldn't miss their
daily dozen punches for words. The
henpecked man has mother complex
and wants wife who will tell him
what to eat and pick out his neck
ties. The brilliant man couldn't stand
a wife who was his intellectual equal.
He wants Dumb Dora to whom he
will be little tin god. Any police
court judge will tell you that the
women who have husbands who beat
them to pulp kiss the hands that
batter them about and ask for more
Of the cave-man stuff.
A ND so the answer to the question,
"Are there any happy mar
riages?" is bound to be "yes." A very
few in which husbands and wives,
through tenderness and love and con-
sideration, make marriage a heaven
on earth. Many in which biting,
fighting, scratching husbands and
wives seem to make marriage a purga-
tory for each other, but in which they
somehow find the thing they crave
and that makes them happy. Perhaps
they prefer danger to safety, adven-
ture to quiet ways, scrimmage to
peace. Nobody knows. Anyway, hus-
bands and wives are purely a matter
Of taste, and If you like 'em that way,
that's the way you like 'em.
Hence no man need stay single
because he has got cold feet from
observing the marriages Of his friends.
1t is one of the CANDLES that are
worth taking Q chance on.
