Working quietly but feverishly
toward a deadline set at January
4, the National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees expects to boast a
numerical strength Of 10000 Gov
eminent workers when the
Seventy-fifth Congress conveneS
on that date.
The membership drive, which
has been pursued since the last
national convention at Yellow
stone National Park in 1885, Is
under the personal direction OF
Ulrey j. Biller, national vice presi-
dent and expert on retirement.
Behind him, however, stand
Luther C. Steward and Gertrude
M. Mentally, who have been in the
spotlight as representatives OF
the Government employe since
the World War emergency brought
that neglected individual before
the public eye.
President and Secretary-treas-
urer respectively, Steward and
Miss McNally desire to be able to
say they represent at least 10000
workers when they begin their win
ter campaign of appearances be-
fore congressional committees to
ask further benefits for civil serV-
ice personnel.
Extension of the merit system
will be the greatest goal sought by
the N. F. F. E., and according to
headquarters of the union, there
is no substitution for the strength
that membership gives" The en-
rollment drive has been encour-
aging throughout the country, it
is said, but some local unions have
failed thus far to put their Shout
ders to the wheel.

Johnny WeisSmuller and Maui
reen O'Sullivan reunited in their
latest romance of the jungle, Tar
Zan Escapes" return Friday, De-
cember 4, to the Columbia for a
repeat engagement.
The story deals with Tarzan's
escape from a treacherous white
hunter who seeks to trap him,
hoping thus to take him to civil
ization to exhibit. Tarzan's mate
and his wild allies keep the plot
of the people from being realized,
and the lovers return to the wilder
ness they love.
WeiSSmuller as Tarzan swings
across wild gorges on strange vine
bridges, and Swims perilous rivers.
Miss O'Sullivan is her charming
character as in former Tarzan pic
lures, and Bonita Hume plays the
heroine'S sister. John Buckler
enactS the animal collector and
William Henry plays Miss O'Sulli-
vans cousin who remains loyal.
Richard Thorpe directed the
new TarZan picture. Photography
adds to the effectiveness of the &C
ton and scenic details provide
luster for the adventure and ro-
nance of the story.

cathedralS generally base their sal
airy demands on their strength as
air wave entertainers. Thus Va
riety announces boldly this week
that Jack Benny figures he is
worth $4,000 a week as theater
attraction inasmuch as Eddie Can
tor, in No. 2 hole, is quoted at
$4,000 per week with his revue.
Whatever his fame with t h e
networks, it is my personal opin-
ion that Jack Benny will have to
grow some in footlight stature be-
fore he can come close to Banjo
Eyes Eddie in serving what Vaude-
vile wants.
WINCHELL ON TOP
AS for Fred Allen, Squire of
Town Hall, he just gives vaude-
vile, as we know it, the frosty
look. Instead, he has yielded to
the entreaties of Daryl Zanuck
and will make another picture
soon for goth Century-Fox. 1t

intimation of the screen double

Mr.. La F.. wired Immediately to

that I might personally make sure
I was not libeled. He finally To-
Gated the precious script in New

trappers may be picked up"
A sign placed at the site in 1892 by
the forest service states that the stock
ade was built by Bannack Indians as
q protection against enemies. This is
obviously in error, as none of the Mon
tana Indian tribes were experienced
or expert in log work, and from early
descriptions Of the fort given In Red
Lodge and Billings newspapers, the
fort was evidently the work of expert
woodsmen with sharp axes. The forest
service marker places the date of the
building Of the fort as 1870. Proof that
the fort was built long before that year
is offered by G. @. Bowlen of Red
Lodge. MIR. Bowler, who Is now Car
bon county commissioner once talked
with a surveyor who visited the old fort
in the '80's. The surveyor reported that
in the debris about the ruined fort he
found the stocks of several old guns.
AS these gun stocks were probably made
of walnut or some other equally hard
and long-lasting wood, 1t is obvious
that they would not have become al
most completely rOtted away between

left by the original occupants Of the
fort
Today only a few rotted logs remain
to mark the spot where the old fort
stood and the forest service has placed
fence about the site. It has been sug-
gested that copper marker be placed.
It is difficult to decide exactly who
did build the fort at Stockade Lake.
NO doubt the building was constructed
by trappers but on existing mans az
early trappers posts this post Is not
shown. This is explained by the fact
that the trappers were usually men Of
mystery who kept their comings and
goings to themselves. Accounts Of their
activities are few for these early trav-

trapping territories They told little Of

to keep the wilderness wild.
