Important
Decision On
Auto Taxation
Rules That Delinquent Taxes
On Purchased Car Must
Be Paid.
WILL BE APPEALED
TO SUPREME COURT

HELENA, Jan. 31.-District Judge
A. ]. Horsky in district court here
handed down a decision setting a
precedent in the widely disputed
new auto license tax law. Judge
Horsky ruled that all past due taxes
on automobiles must be paid up be-
fore licenses can be issued by coun-
ty treasurers for the year 1893. 1t
is probable that the decision will be
promptly appealed to the state SUI
preme court for adjudication.
The decision was handed down in
the suit brought by the Montana
Motor Trades association, ex rel G.
L. Kleve in test case. Kleve pur-
chased used car in December, pre-
sented his application for a license
for 1888, paid his 1888 personal
property taxes and drivers license
fee. County Treasurer Julia Fisehl
accepted the tender of these mon
les, then learned that the personal
property tax for 1896 on the car
had not been paid by its previous
owner, and refused to issue the 1888
plates until past due taxes are paid.
Kleve brought suit to compel the
treasurer to issue his 1888 plates.
He commended he was not required
to pay delinquent taxes on property
at that time owned by a third per-
son. The case was argued and SUBJ
mitted IN briefs. During its pend
ency, Attorney General Fl. J. Free
bourn, in an opinion formally hand
ed down, upheld Kleve's contentious
that old taxes need not be paid by
new owners of motor vehicles.
Judge Horsky adopted the re-
verse position and held that the law
specifically requires that the treas
urer collect all taxes levied against
the vehicle and unpaid, without re-
gard to ownership. He therefore
dismissed the petition of kleye for
a writ compelling Treasurer Fischl
to issue the plates. The decision,
unless reversed In the supreme
court, will effect hundreds of auto
owners who have purchased cars
on which old taxes still are unpaid.

Poston Bros,
Road Contractors,
In Mining Venture

Poston Bros. of Kalispell, high
way contractors, and Percy Good
win of Troy have purchased the
Gold g. Silver Mining Co. at Max
vile. Ida, for 100000, according
to Victor Koerner, Salmon City

tracing ore are being rushed.
Most of the stock in the former

soula investors. The sale was on a
bond and lease basis, with 10 per-
cent royalty being the means of
payment. The newly formed COM
pany, incorporated in Helena re-
Gently, is the Goldonna Mining Co.
Former owners spent 100000 i'm
developing the property, building
2, 900 IT. of tunnel and sinking shafts.
They were ready to produce ore
when the depression hit In 1880 and
loss of their mill compelled them
to cease operations.
The Goldonna company is install
ing a new transformer, motors and
ball mill, and making ready to sink
three more shafts. Much equipment
left by the Maxville Gold & Silver
Co. is ready for use
DR.. Charles III. Clapp was geolo

a letter from relatives in Ironwood,
Mich, describing the recent bad
snow storm that news reports say
was the worst in 65 years. The let

Baker Says He
Will Not Fight

There has been some misunder-
standing said Jesse Baker this
week, ito the effect that I was GO
ing to fight professional fight to
be staged in Libby about Febru-
airy rs. I'm sorry | couldn't find
means to train for a 10-round fight
in the near future. / have, however,
found it possible to train small
group of beginners, and am very
much pleased with their progress.
I have boys from Libby and from
Camp FIG, near Libby.
From the rate at which these
boys are progressing" continued
Baker, "the boys might even spoil
the appearance of our 10-round pro-
fessional fight. I'd hate to fight
when I'm not in perfect condition;
with amateur preliminaries that
would take the entire show.

Receives Goodly Sum
From Forest Service

Figures have just been released
by the forest service. -Missoula,
showing the sums of money that will
be paid to the various counties in
Montana as the counties portions
of forest service receipts. The tab
ulation shows that Lincoln county
will receive S11,811.39 from this
source. This sum is Is per cent of
forest service receipts in the coun-
ty during 1887
The law provides that such di-
vision of the receipts must be made,
which helps to take up the loss in
taxation because the forests are in
government ownership.
Beaverhead county received the
next largest amount, S6,196.9l. Flat
head county is listed to receive
S3,326.68.
Funds received by Lincoln coun-
ty from this source, from 1903
to 1887 inclusive, total $215, 239.62.

 New York. - Shoes in the most spectacular of the current collec- tionS, like new dresses and new hats, are distinctly feminine. Except for active sports, smart women shun flat-heeled, too-too tailored boots.
 There are turban bows on after noon and spectator sports shoes for the south. GA famous Paris couturier put shoe details on hats, and now we have hat trimmings on shoes.) Also wonderful, evening sandals of silk and metallic fabrics, draped and pleated and gathered-in other words treated as soft fabrics should be, not as feathers.
 The evening slipper which is causing the most talk at the moment is of black silk jersey in two colors or in all black, handsomely draped to cover the foot. The drap- cries cross just above the heel and tie in front at ankle-height. It comes in silver kid and black silk jersey, too, is flattering to any foot.
 Another smart number, in gold, silver or black mesh, is an exact copy of an Indian mocassin. Absol- utely heel-less, it molds the foot, is oxford height with lacings to match the fabric. Nothing could be more comfortable, and tall girls are loving the idea.
 For afternoons in the south, there's wonderful open toe and heel sandal in pale pink pigskin with rows and rows of perforationS. It's done in dusty blue, scarlet and navy, too. Whether you are going to have holiday in the south or not, these should interest you. As always, what's good in the south in January is more than likely to be popular in the north the following summer.
 Incidentally, the designer of the draped evening shoes and of pastel pigskin sandals for daytime is talk ing right now about scarlet shoes with navy blue Easter suits.
 Hand blocked India prints distin- guish some of the most stunning novelties in afternoon models. Shan tung linen, in gay colors with white pipings, is important. And some thing to write home about are non- tarnishable India brocades with colored kid stripings.

"Stand-In" with Joan Blondell, Leslie Howard and Humphrey Be- gart also Missing Witnesses" with John Litel, Dick Purcell and Jean Dale conclude their local engage ment at Warner Brothers State theater tonight.
 After 8 run of several years in New York. London, Paris and vari- ous other world capitals as stage play, 'Tovarich," comedy deal ing with a Grand Duchess and a Prince who were exiled from their native Russia by the revolution, now comes to the screen. It will have its first local showing tomorrow at the State Theater.
 Warner Bros. made the picture and endowed it with a splendid cast and many magnificent settings. Claudette Colbert plays the Grand Duchess and Charles Boyer the Prince. Other notable performers in the cast include Basil Rathbone, Anita Louise, Melville Cooper, Isa- bel Jeans (imported from England for the picture), Morris Carnovsky, Montague Love, Reine Riano and Heather Thatcher.
 Although the main characters are Russian, all the action of the pie ture takes place in Paris, to which city the erstwhile nobles have fled. They have brought with them, in trust, 40 billion francs in gold. They become servants in the home of a rich Frenchman in order to live, and the story revolves around the efforts of various elements to get hold of the fortune, which the Grand Duch- ess and the Prince will not touch themselves.
 There are no revolutionary scenes and no warfare in "Tovarich." It is continuous high comedy.
 The companion feature will pre- sent Jackie Cooper, idol of millions, in his first "grown-up" picture (he's young man now and his first pie ture has won the Parents Magazine awardl Boy Of The Streets. It's story that will appeal to every man, woman and child who sees it.

Modern Menus

manner. And by "diet" is not meant a sharply restricted list of foods. Sufferers from chronic constipation should put themselves III cne hands of the family doctor and abide by his prescriptions.
 His diet analysis will probably show it topheavy in fats, sugars and proteins. He will probably recom- mend reducing the consumption of lean meats eggs, fish, cheese, pota- toes, bread and other cereals. All these are so easily digested that they tend to make the digestive system lazy. So your doctor will also prob ably recommend bulky foods con- taining much cellulose. CelluIose is carbohydrate which forms the framework of most vegetables and provides "roughage" in the diet. If your doctor should suggest eating more foods with high cellulose con- tent, here are some daily menus that combine pleasant dining with corrective measures. Study them and make your own combinations.
 Two Days Menus
 1. Breakfast: stewed prunes, oat- meal with bran and top milk, whole wheat toast with butter, weak tea with milk and sugar. Luncheon: baked tomato stuffed with corn, salad of grated raw vegetables with mayonnaise, whole wheat toast and butter, weak tea. Dinner: crisp eel cry and olives, roast beef, baked po- tato, spinach, who wheat bread and butter, baked apple with cream.
 2. Breakfast: stewed apricots bran cereal with top milk, strips bacon (crisp), whole wheat toast and butter, weak tea with milk and sugar. Luncheon: crabflake cocktail, spaghetti baked with to- mato, but not with cheese, bran mullins with butter, hearts of lettuce with mayonnaise, prune whip with light cream, weak tea. Dinner: vegetable soup, roast chicken, creamed potatoes, peas and but tered beets, pineapple and celery salad, whole wheat bread and but ter, fig pudding
 The above two menus are not for reducing. They include many proteinS, sugars and fats, but these elements are used in small amounts and are offset by the large amounts of cellulose foods included in the same menus.

 Hollywood.-Dolores Costello has come back to celluloid, and every body from the watchman at the gates to the toughest director on the sets is wishing her luck.
 A stroll with her across the Warner lot at noontime offers proof enough of what old-timers think of the blue-eyed, golden haired actress who quilt pictures seven years ago at the crest of Stardom.
 Prop men, electricians, wardrobe
 women, hairdresSerS, cameramen all of them greet her, and in
 turn are hailed by their first
 names.
 They also look back, some of them, to the years of The Sea Beast" Glorious Betsy" Hearts in Exile" and "Noah's Ark" and they wonder, naturally, whether any such triumphs are in store for the future. The comeback road is hard.
 Prettier Than Ever
 Miss Costello'S chances seem bet ter than those of other dimmed stars because, for one thing, she went out voluntarily. And for an- other reason, because she hasn't changed in appearance, unless fav- orably. At 32, she's younger than many a current feminine star and still can play romantic leads.
 It's a romantic lead she has in Girls on Probation" a picture which she describes as dealing with "a select reformatory." Orig inally intended only as an unas- stunning little program piece, it has turned out so well that the studio has boosted it into the A rating.
 When Miss Costello retired, 1t was to devote herself to her chil- dren, husband and home, belieg- ing that one actor in the family was enough. But the actor didn't remain in the family very long. After the divorce from John Barry more she continued in retirement, travelling a good deal and spending her tune with Dolores Ethel Mae Barrymore, now T, and John Blythe Barrymore, 5.
 Manages Own Affairs
 In 1886 Miss Costello emerged for the role of Freddie Bartholomew's mother in Little Lord Fauntleroy" She followed 1t with only one pie ture, very bad one called Yours for the Asking, which she entered unwillingly.
 Afterward she travelled again,

 You may be sure that truly striking woman-one who always is sparkling. perfectly groomed and beautifully dressed-realizes fully the importance of thinking of her clothes, her personality and her per- sonal appearance as three factors which makes the finished picture She places equal emphasis on beauty routineS, selection of clothes and the business of keeping her mind alert, disposition pleasant.
 If you want to look your best, day in and day out, stop drawing mental lines between your clothes and your appearance and your per- sonality. The dowdy girl with the excellent mind doesn't quite measure up. People who meet her wish she would try to look at least half as attractive as she really is. And the pretty, nicely turned out little dum- my whose lips utter nonsense and whose face is quite expressionless unless she's talking about herself makes others wish that she'd try to be as attractive as che looks.
