THE OWN

From a crude little band of flies
and drums to n of the leading
military bands in the country
marks the span of 14O years that
has been covered by the United
States Marine Band. On it's long
march the band has virtually
changed its trademark from rat
tlesnakes to symphonies under a
score of famous leaders, including
the great John Philip Sousa.
Coiled rattlesnakes were painted
on the drums of the Marines who
fought in the Revolution. Shrill
flies screeched the call to arms
for the fighting forebears of the
present Marine Corps. But flies,
drums and fighters faded out of
the picture along with the memo.v
of our struggle for independence.
Back came the flies and drums
when the Corps was reorganized in
1898, and with them came a new
ambition. The Marines wanted a
real band, something more melod-
ious than the monotonous rhythm
of fife and drum. With a few
horns, clarinets and oboes they
started along the musical trail to
National fame.
In 1900 the band moved from
Philadelphia to Washington when
that city was only a name, and
since that time has played at the
inauguration of our Presidents and
at hundreds of national or dip
lomatic functions.
When Anurew Johnson was
president the band played for the
first %egg-rolling on the White
House grounds. On more solemn
occasions it played the funeral
dirge for Zachary Taylor, Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley, and has
rendered honors at the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier.
Making its bows as a symphony
orchestra in 1902, it now combines
the functions of both orchestra
and band. Through long associa-
ton with our Chief Executives, it
has won the title of 1.-THE Presi-
Own"

TOO MUCH SPEED,
TOO LITTLE COURTESY

Basic reasons for americas
shameful automobile accident re-
cord in 1887 were "too much speed
and too little courtesy" according
to a new booklet entitled Death
Begins at 40" just issued by the
Travellers Insurance Company.
The booklet presents a complete
analysis of last years traffic ac-
cidents, based on official figures
from the 48 states.
There is no intention in the
booklet, according to the editors,
to advocate 40 miles an hour or
any other fixed speed as a top
limit. To quote: There are times,
as in heavy traffic or heavy fog,
when 80 miles an hour is suicidal:
other times when so miles an hour
seems reasonable. Every driver
should know, however, that if he
does have an accident it is more
likely to mean death if he is going
fast"

DEER LODGE COUNTY
SEEKS RELIEF FUNDS

County Commissioners OF Deer
Lodge county have petitioned the
State Welfare Board for funds to
care for relief clients. The COM
missioners claim that their poor
fund and relief fund are depleted
and that suffering is rampant in
their county. Unusual require
ments are facing the county this
year, the petition sets forth.
A copy of the letter was sent
to H. ]. Freebourn, attorney gener-
al, who advised the Welfare Board
to make a 'grant-in-aid' to Deer
Lodge county from relief funds
available. Administrator l.. NJ.
Brandjord replied to the Deer
Lodge commissioners that they are
to make a proper application for
relief funds, setting forth the facts
required by law and the request
will be placed before the next
meeting of the State Welfare Com
mission for action.

peddlers in that city was men,
toned Monday at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting. Those present
also mentioned that in Hardin the
well known Green River ordinance
was in effect.
The Green River ordinance
sprang into prominence at Green
River, Wyo., when a house to house
peddler was arrested and tried III
the courts for violation of that
statute. The courts ruled that the
ordinance was legal and could be
upheld. Since then many towns
have adopted the ordinance.

occasion of which every Hardinite
may be proud, and we are sure
that these visitors will carry away
a favorable impression of Hardin.
Enthusiasm is running high, and
the support of local people for the
Bulldogs is unquestioned.
Hardin has an enviable record
for craftsmanship, and we are
sure that the tournament here
will bring that record to a new
high.
We want these many visitors TO
go away impressed not only with
the excellence of our team, and
the craftsmanship of the town.

were truly glad to see them and
sorry that they must leave. We
want them to know that Hardin

booklet have been prepared espec-
tally to show what happens in the
higher brackets of speed. It is
pointed out, for instance, that a
car is four times harder to stop
at SO miles an hour than it is at
IS, and nine times harder to stop
at IS miles an hour than at Is. A
new word, "turnability" has been
coined to express another speed
factor. The drivers turnability,
the booklet shows, decreases rap
idly as his speed increases. Thus,
he can make only one-rourth as
sharp a turn at so miles an hour
as he could make at Is and only
one-ninth as sharp a turn at rs
as at 25.
Another set of figures shows
that if you have an accident while
driving under 40 miles an hour
there is only one chance in A
that somebody will be killer but
if your accident comes while you
are travelling faster than 40, there
is one chance in 10 that somebody
will be killed.
While the folly of high speed
provides the main theme of the
booklet, there is a secondary
theme which runs consistently
through the issue. 1t is the need
for courtesy on the highway.
After Analysing reports of 49,
300 fatalities and 1921 900 injuries
in traffic accidents last year, the
company's statisticians point to
these interesting and little known
facs about accidents:
Exceeding the speed limit was
responsible for 81 per cent OF the
deaths and IS per cent of the in
juries.
More than 81 per cent OF drlv-
ers involved in fatal accidents
were male and less than six per
cent female. It does not necessar-
lily follow that women are safer
drivers than men, it is pointed out,
because adequate data on the re-
lative exposure are lacking.
Ninety-seven percent of drivers
involved in fatal accidents had
had one or more years driving
experience.
More IMAM 70 per cent of all IA
tai accidents occurred when the
road surface was dry. Eighty-three
per cent of all fatal accidents &C.
Cured in clear weather.
More persons were killed on
Sunday than any other day. The
heaviest injury toll came on Sat-
urday. More persons were killed
between seven and eight o'clock in
the evening than at any other
hour.
Fatalities increased last year in
every age group except that from
five to fourteen years of age.
In the last fifteen years, AL
912 persons have been killed in
the U. S. by automobiles. This is
almost dobule the number of Am
erican soldiers killed in action or
died of wounds in all the wars
this country has engaged in since
-Vsese facts and figures are
thought-provoking.

may be taken at their face value.
So it is with the atmosphere of
serenity and peace that seems to
surround Capitol Hill now that the
anti-lynching bill is being showed
aside.
Another issue has been boiling
and bubbling under cover for
months now and it is about ready
to blow the cover off. 1t involves
the government reorganization
scheme.
At the moment there seems to
be but few friends for the measure
in Congressional quarters. The
principal complaint is that it will
give too much power to the exc
cutive branch of government-and
Congress isn't in a power-giving-
to-the-executive mood these days.
The battle over the scheme,
when it starts, will probably make
the hair fly.
A study of the list of those
Little Businessmen asked in re-
cent days to the White House for
conferences on problems of the
day discloses some interesting
things. One invitee was a janitor
in Florida for II years. Another
was a WPA day laborer. Still an
other has been living on a veter-
ans disability pension since the
World War. And another was a
New York taxi driver. And so on
down the line.
There's a new twist these days
to the controversy that has been
raging between the Justice De-
partment and the Federal District
Judge in Milwaukee. The twist is
that the Justice Department may
be subjected to the first compre-
hensive investigation in its his
tory.
It all came about recently when
the Department asked the House
Judiciary Committee to investigate
Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger, who
has sat on the Federal Grand
Jury investigating alleged VIOLA
lions of the antitrust laws after
learning that the Justice Depart
men had used confidential testi-
mony given before the jury as
a CLUB" in an effort to obtain
consent decrees' from the group
of defendants.
Judge Geiger's action, which he
declared was not only within the
law but also in accordance with
the best ethics of the law, multi
fled the work of the grand jury.
The Justice Departments COM
plant against the Judge has found
little sympathy among legal ex-
perts in Congress who believe in
the sanctity of guarantees under
the common law, and who believe
that the Justice Department has
violated these sanctities by mis-
using confidential testimony. So
the word is around that the Judi
ciary Committee may have an Of
fetal look into the Departments
own "ethics."
The American Federation of La
bor's action in ordering its af-
filiates to quit Labor's Non
Partisan League wasn't much of a
surprise around the Capitol City.
After all. about the only thing the
League has succeeded in doing
was to make farmers mad by ask
ing them to join labor in a farm
labor partv-while unions were
pulling shutdown strikes which in
creased the farmers cost of liv-
ing. And then. too, the League
has been pretty closely aligned
with the CLIO.

it was discovered at home that she

fectly all right, since a contestant
may withdraw whenever she
wishes, BUT of the 25 books only
18 have been returned. No money
