A large delegation Of Brooklyn

ing program in the history OF the
city and which may cost $l,0OO,0 600.
In commenting upon the request
Of the Brooklyn and Town Plot
spokesmen, Mayor Hayes said he
would not undertake the work I'M
less 1t was done well. The city's
chief executive stated he could UNI
derstand that the situation could
almost be termed an emergency, and
promised to grant the sections every
consideration. He added that the
cost would be paid in tax assess
ments which could be distributed
by means of a long term bond issue
OF 10 or 20 years and which will
be discussed In the state legislature
two weeks from tomorrow. Other
details of the city's contention will
be found elsewhere in the Demo-
crat.
The spokesman were led by As
SCISSOR John w. Jenusaitis who ex-
planned the situation In detail, ask
ing immediate consideration be
given Brooklyn.
Alderman John w. Bender said

adjustment of catch basins on Con-
gress avenue which could be in

Fire Hall Bell
Rope Is Swing
For Youngsters

The curfew will not ring to-
night. 1t hasn't rung for many
years nor will it ring again.
Not meaning the %screeching siren
in Plentywood which every night at
9 startles residents with its plaintive
cry that another day is nearly done,
but the old yellow bell atop the city
hall which still looks proudly over
the town it has seen develop from
a shacky frontier outpost to a thirty
ing little city.
For time has recorded 20 years
since the old bell ceased to toll.
Old-timers recall when the bell was
on the Jail in southwest P~lentywood,
near the water plant. Later it served
the city fire department when the
fire hall was situated on the pres
ent site of the DR.. Roy offices and
residence. And when the present fire
hall was built, in 1915, the bell was
placed ON q high %scaffolding on the
buildings roof. There is where it
sits today, unused and alone--a far
cry from the days when its proud
mournful knell warned Riddles to
scamper home, and when it's staccato
bonging announced that all was not
well.
1t was abandoned for the present
electric siren about 1917. High above
the sidewalks of Main street, its
only bid for human recognition are
the ropes on which children take a
passing swing. The bell is rung only
to the passing of a fire
department laddie.
But some blustery night, when
conflagration threatens and mans
ingenious siren fails to warn, per-
haps the old yellow bell again will
clang In uproarious pride az It calls
the flremen to battle.

n COURT PLAN
Outlook, Mont.
Dee. 8, 1887.


Mr.. Editor:
/ would like to call your atten-
ton to a few facts concerning the
much talked Of Court plan which
you ridicule in Brass lacks and
AGAIN in your editorial OF last weeks
edition Of the Herald.
I cannot conceive OF any sensible
reason WHY you OF anyone should
''sqawk" SO much about the court
plan since plans Of a similar nature
have been executed with little no
lice In the past history Of our II
Try
You viii note that J gather this
and 4 part OF the following from
Time, which J accept as authentic.
The QUESTIONABLE returned by the
country newspapers which you write
of, | cannot accept as the voice of
the people, T think the majority OF
them are reactionary and must have
forgotten that changing the number
of justices on The supreme Court
has been common past time. on an
average OF one change about every
two score years. Neither do | under
stand that it was considered such a
catastrophe.
I do not approve of Young Muir
ray pitching in" on our good friend
Mr.. Burton X. Wheeler as you say
he did in Butte, neither can | nder
stand why Mr.. Wheeler could not
be with President Roosevelt when
the president visited in Montana as
was Murray, O'Connor, O'Connell,
yes, even O'Mahoney managed TO be
with him when he visited in his
state.
If Mr.. Wheeler's speaking or
lecturing in California was more
important than being on the Presi-
dents train for two days or II his
business could not postpon 3 or 4
days, then l apologize and will adj
nit you are right in saying the Pres
ident snubbed him by not calling his
name while at Fort Peck.
I speak in behalf of the readers
of your paper, | believe ] am safe
in saying that Mr.. Wheeler has did
more for Montana than any other
man except F. D. Roosevelt. His
work in helping put the New Deal
across has been invaluable But, |
annot apply your late pet name for
him, the president Tanner for as
yet do not believe our President
is so q tame.
| get from that part OF your ar
ticle that, perhaps, you would be
glad If our President were taken

praise for Mr.. Wheeler on this issue
and in your d%enouncins the plan as
packing the court because Mr..
Wheeler expressed his desire TO have
the court issue brought before the
people as a referendum aud again
he and Senator Bone proposed a
constitutional amendment providing
that If the Supreme Court decided
a federal law unconstitutional, Con-
eress should have the power after
the next general election TO repass
the law over the Supreme Courts
veto by a t~wo-thirds vote.
The constitution gives Congress
power to alter the size of the courts
and congress has used that power
six times on the Supreme Court
The new plan is 10 infuse new
blood into the courts.
The Summers McCanan Bill per-
hitting Supreme Court justices to
retire at age of 20 years on full pay
was passed by the Senate rs TO A.,
that seems all right TO me.
CHIEF Justice Charles Evans
Hughes made public a report adopt
ed by the annual judicial conference
of senior judges held in Washing
ton last September. One major point
was, four new circuit court judges
and IL new federal district court
judges are needed. President Roose-
welt wanted so. Surely some were
needed. We now have 10 circuit
courts and IS federal district courts,
there has been times when We need

De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85-

The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. Il has graceful new lines
and well.tailorcd interiors-with choice
Of engine sizes-35 or 60 horsepower.
Before Ford made Wipe 8-cylinder en-

four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine endowment Of driving an eight

The thrifty Coz engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models a very low

forth.
In the Il years between the adOp-
ton OF the constitution and the Civ
II war the court nulified only two
acts OF congress. In the - years
from the beginning of the Civil var
to the end of the courts last Hoover
administration il over ruled congress
in some 90 cases and in the three
years since the beginning of the
Roosevelt administration it has I'M
done CONGRESSES work IL times.
From that il would seem to me the
Supreme Court does not keep
abreast with modern government.
Their. is nothing in the court plan
that in any way restricts the court
or courts from acting as they have
in the past.
President Taft appointed ) SUI
preme court justices, Harding in a
little over two years appointed f..
Hoover appointed 3. And nothing
was said about packing the court.
And now | do not think that six
would be too many for a man like
Roosevelt TO appoint.
cannot hope that this "raving
on" with my pencil will make your
front page but, it should at least
make your waste paper basket.

Mayor LaGuardia Oh New York

be used for very effective police and
detective work in a large city. and
he expressed personal qualification
recently when he pinned a detect

was made a second grade detective.
The honor was a recognition of her
work in keeping two suspicious char
acters under surveillance for six
hours and finally arresting them.
Her familiarity with various lang

made Miss Lisa Sergio one of the
best known radio personalities in

WEATHER BUREAU OFFICIAL DESCRIBES HOW FLIGHTS INTO UPPER AIR HELP IN FORECASTING WEATHER.

 December IF marked the end of the third month of the airplane weather flights being made at Fairbanks. During this time Pill ot Bert Lein has made a total of 13O of these flights. At dawn & again at dusk each day the pilot dons his furlined 'rompers,' pulls the firepot from under the motor, climbs into the cockpit of the big Pilgrim plane and takes off for some indefinite point up in the sky some l7,OOO feet over Fair banks.
 Most planes leaving Weeks Field carry full loads of passengers or freight but the weather ship flies empty. The only load carried is full tanks of gasoline and a small instrument weighing about four pounds attached to a wing-strut. The flights usually require about one and one-half hours and the time is spent in circling over the town within a radius of about 20 miles. Although the pilot flies

England X Italy Signed Accord
 Is Announced
(By The Associated Press)


 ROME, Jan. 2, - Great Brit tain and Italy today signed a gentlemen's agreement, an off, cial communique announced, guar anteeing a status quo in the Mediterranean, and designed to draw the two powers into closer cooperation.
 Only a brief communication was published announcing the important news that the friction between England and Italy which at times last year threatened to burst into open conflict, had been eliminated.
 The text of the agreement is to be published Monday.
 Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Minister of foreign affairs and Sir Eric Drummond, British am bassador signed the document, which is considered to be an ac cord to assist in the eventual re- gulation of the Spanish civil war as a danger to the status quo in the Mediterranean.
 However, an authoritative Fas cist commentator said the agree ment in no way modified the It. alo German understanding on Eur opean problems including Spain.
