to be loyal to these people. Labor's
Non-Partisan League of Silver Bow
County is also cooperating with the
Council for Progressive Political Ac-
ton, a state organization which has
had several meetings in Great Falls.
This state organization has endorsed
a number of state candidates. Labor
is also asked to support endorse
ments made by this body.
Cooperation between Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council and the
Miners Union in a sports program
in Columbia Gardens was arranged
last Tuesday. The Miners Union
brought out that the public had been
promised quite an elaborate schedule
of sports at the Gardens for Miners
Union Day, but, owing to the
weather, it had been postponed. In
order to carry out their promise, the
miners intend to run their program
jointly with the rest of the labor
organizations on the Labor Day cele-
bration in September.
Sam Spiegel reported that William
Gushing of Dillon had been endorsed
by the Council for Progressive Po-
litical Action at Great Falls on the
18th of this month as a write-in
candidate for Chief Justice of the
State Supreme Court. While Philip
O'Donnell of Butte had been en-
dorsed for the office of associate JUS
tice. The people should remember
that candidates for judicial positions
are now placed on a separate non
partisan ballot and not on a Republi-
can or Democratic ballot as they
used TO be.
Letters were received from a num-
Der of candidates, including Larry
Weir, seeking endorsement. They
were referred to the legislative COM
mittee.

Knowledge Of God

Permit me to congratulate you
on the editorial entitled "HiS
Prayer" which appeared In The
Times Saturday evening. It was
excellent. Many more such edi-
torials expressive Of religious and
moral truth would help consid-
erably to reorganize society, and
to lead men back to the first
principles of a sound social and
moral order.
In speaking Of the simplicity
Of Abraham Lincoln's prayer
cGod have mercy and give us
understanding") you make the
following comment: IF God saw
fit to grant this prayer. and to
help humans in their weakness
and their wandering, all mans
problems would fall away before
that great blessing: Under
standing. That quality was the
soul of Lincoln's greatness. It
is the great need Of the world
today"
May I supplement this
thought a little. God can be
merciful and give us understand
ing. But before we can demand
these from Him. there are GER
tain requirements we must COM
ply with. Like Lincoln, We too
must recognize the existence Of
a Divine Being; we must pray to
Him, ask for this mercy and
understanding. A very simple
and fundamental truth, yet how
far from the minds Of men!
We must admit, much to our
shame. that a very large per
centage Of Americans today
don't believe in God. They don't
recognize Him nor His divine
supremacy over us. They don't
want our school children to
know anything about Him, about

cal, laws which govern us. They
want God eliminated from all

and they have succeeded. to a
notable extent, in doing so. I
suppose this is the reason why
God is not taught to our school
children. These pupils may be

ment, Of civilized society. Of the

they cannot be taught to know

Understanding, as we all
agree, is one Of the great needs
of the world and our country TO-
day. But before we can expect
this great quality from Almighty
God, it is first Of all imperative
that we have . knowledge of
Him. Not an abstract or ideal.
istic knowledge, but an intimate
and practical knowledge Of God.
Of His teachings and Of His
divine Commandments. Only
when we ourselves have this
knowledge and when superna-

pect that God will ''see fit to

clipper ship.
Owned by the Liverpool concern Of
James Baines e. Co.. she logged 81
nautical miles an hour on June 10,

The James Baines made nautical

record that also still stands.
And on her maiden voyage from
Boston to Liverpool she hung up a
sailing record of IL days hours, since
equaled by her sister ship, the Light

Harold s. Vanderbilt's Ranger,

At one stage OF the bidding North
had bid four clubs, cue bid showing
the ace, and East had doubled, COM
manding his partner to open that suit.
Hence. West opened his doublton club,
and East was allowed to win the first
trick with his king. East returned a
heart, and declarer had to decide right
then and there whether to finesse for
the king Of hearts or the queen Of dia-
monds. Rejecting that even If the
heart finesse worked, his contract was
not assured unless spades broke, de-
clarer decided that there was a slight
additional chance in electing to take
the diamond finesse Thus he jumped
up with the ace Of hearts and followed
with the ace and jack of diamonds.
When West refused to cover. declarer
let the jack ride and then played the
queen of clubs and over to dummy's
ace. He then played dummy's three re-
naming diamonds, discarding the
queen of hearts and two small spades.
Strangely enough. West was in the
grip of a squeeze. Holding the king Of
hearts and four spades, West finally
had to discard spade, and thus de-
clarer brought home the remaining
tricks with his spade suit. Actually
declarer's hunch was a fine percentage
play As it gained him one additional
change to make his contract.

USED AUTO JAM
EASES SLIGHTLY
Increase in NeW-Car Sales
Also Spurs Hopes of
Motor Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Feb. ia moderate
easing of the used-car jam along with
an increase in new-car distribution
during the last fortnight brought en-
couragement to maker and merchan-
diser in the automobile industry and
inspired renewed hope among the
executives in the manufacturing and
sales divisions that the bottom Of the
present curtailment of car buying has
been passed
Most observers in automotive trade
circles are cautiously predicting an up
ward movement of factory activity
around March 1, based upon their
belief that even a moderate seasonal
activity in used units will turn new-cal
production totals definitely upward.
Inventories Reduced.
On the basis of present activity in
the assembly plants, February output
should come close to 250,0O0 cars
and trucks, which the manufacturers
emphasize is far from a complete
suspension Of work. On the other
hand, no producer currently is work.
ing on full-time schedule.
One agency that has made a de-
tailed survey of the dealer units
throughout the United States reports
that with few exceptions these out
lets are beginning to reduce inven-
tories of both used and new cars.
Some. the advices indicate, have OBJ
tained encouraging results from a re-
adjustment of prices on used vehicles
While not belittling the efforts of
individual dealers in chipping at the
accumulation of secondhand cars,
the trade generally still is hopeful
some large-scale plan of reducing the
dealer stocks will be worked out
through combined action of producer
and distributor and thus reopen q
sizable neW-car market.
Looks for Upturn.
Some sales executives Of the mai
producing units look for a stable
bulge in factory activity in March,
April and May, few venturing as
far as to say these months will bet
ter the showing of the same periods
OF 1887. All are agreed substantial
reduction in the used-car accumula-
ton will be reflected Immediately in
new-acr assemblies, regardless of any
other conditions that might currently
be contributing to the curtailment of
buying power.
The hope of matching 1887 in ag-
gregate assemblies, however, is
dwindling rapidly, and most compe-
tent observers have placed their 1888
total estimate around the 1000, 900
mark. The aggregate for last year
was slightly above 100000 units.
