OPPOSES ANY
CUT IN Tariff

A graphic presentation OF the sit
uation of Montana miners with re-
gard to threatened cuts in tariff on
lead and zinc has been forwarded to
Washington. D. C.. by the Mining
Association of Montana. Charts
showing the production record OF
Montana mines and the price in re-
cent years were prepared by secre-
tary F. C. Gilbert to accompany a
statement by Carl Trauerman, pres
ident
Lead Ores
Lead ores are mined in the coun-
ties Of Beave1head, Broadwater,
Cascade. Granite, Jefferson, Lewis
4 Clark. Lincoln. Madison. Powell,
Sanders and Silver Bow the state
ment reads These ores are either
shipped in the crude state to the
East Helena plant of the American
Smelling & Refining co. located in
East Helena or concentrated in local
mills and the product shipped to
Tie same plant.
The table and chart of production
of lead and the prices for lead
show a general relation Of lead pro-
duction to lead prices; that is to
say, when the price of lead is low,
the mines shut down or operate
on a reduced scale. However, there
are comparatively few lead mines in
Montana which do not carry zinc.
Lead-Zinc Ores
The bulk of lead and zinc pro-
duced in Montana comes from COM
pick lead and zinc ores carrying
to ounces of silver and small
amount of gold per ton. Nearly all
lead-zine ores require concentration
locally making lead product ship
ped to East Helena and a zinc pro-
duct which is shipped to the cleo
trolytic plants of the Anaconda Re-
duction Works at Anaconda and the /
Great Falls reduction works.
AS in the case of the lead there
is a general relation of zinc pro-
duction to zinc prices. In 1886 and I
1887, however, zinc production was
curtailed on account of shortage Of (
electric power in Montana due to
long continued lack of rainfall
Recommendations
1T is assumed that a reduction /
of tariffs on lead and zinc ores and /
metal will lower market prices of |
these metals in view of the large /
reserves of these ores in Mexico and /
Canada. the president wrote with
the present falling markets for THESE I
metals such tariff reduction and /
still lower prices would seriously I
curtail Montana lead and zinc pro-
duction. Some mines will be shut |
down completely. Thousands of men |
will be thrown out of work and |
most Of them will go on the relief |
rolls"

oil reserves at more than 15,5O0,-
600, 900 barrels. This is the high
est in history.
The new estimate takes into con-
sideration only the proven areas.
1t is based upon present known pro-
duction methods, which are able
to obtain only part of the oil in
the ground, but are improving. No
consideration is taken of possible
improved refining methods, or great
er efficiency of consuming agencies
Of the future.
The end of oil apparently is not
yet in sight, despite the dire pre-
dictions that have been made con-
tinuously since the first oil well
was opened in America The gaso-
line buggy probably will wind its
merry way along the highways for
centuries. Besides resources of Ii
quid bituminOus and other materials
the United States has immense re-
sources of bituminous shale. AS
yet untapped, these probably would
meet the fuel needs of motor We
hicles for centuries. 1t is also
possible to make gasoline from soft
coal. of which there are immense
deposits in this country. This
source of gasoline will endure for
many centuries. There are those
who believe the United States rea-
sonably can expect no serious snort
age of gasoline for thousand years.
AS matter of fact, some believe
the bogeyman of oil depletion is
less menacing that many other
trends in national life. Judging by
current statistical trends, they
point out, the baby carriage will
vanish long before the motor We
hicle. From 1915 to 1886 the birth
rate in the United States has drop
ped from 25.1 per 1000 population
to only 1876, a decline of one-third.
Let that trend keep up. it is warn
ed, and oil reserves will long out
live the American nation.

The king of hearts was opened. De-
clarer won with his own ace, cashed
dummy's ace and king of spades, dis
carding his losing heart, and conceded
a trick to the ace Of diamonds, there
by making small slam which any
two players should surely have bid.
In the analysis South was quite
properly blamed for failing to reach
the slam. In the first place his Sec,
ond-round bid of two no-trump was
very poor, his reason for it being that
II his partner had q shaded opening
bid, he did not want to direct a heart
lead against no-trump contract by
bidding clubs. However, even after
his partners three-diamond bid, South
could have saved the situation. First,
he might have jumped Immediately to
six diamonds, bid which really could
not be criticized. Or, If he really
wished to invite slam, he might have
shown his heart and club controls,
whereupon North, with his fine fit for
diamonds, might have taken some
action.
Actually South was victim OF what
we call fixed idea. He decided arbi-
trarily that his partner had opened
semi-psychic, and really abandoned
all hope of slam from the outset.
Incidentally, although you may know
that your partner occasionally in
dulges in psychics, to decide arbitrar-
ilV that his ornnipu hid ,,oe ,,,so,Yy.d
and proceed on that basis will nearly
always cause bad result.

CHARLES LEE got his first CONN

sion as a major at the age Of 80
when, in 1851, he was appointed ma jor
Of the l03d Foot Regiment in the
British Army. Lee served in the Brit
ish Army in America under command
Of Gage. After winning his appoint
ment as major. Lee served in the
same capacity on the staff of the Por-
tuguese Army, being present at the
brilliant affair at Villa Velha in 1852
In 1764. Lee was appointed a ma jor
general in the Polish Army, having
become interested in establishing mil
itary colonies along the Wabash and
illinois Rivers in the United States.
Two years later he accompanied the
Polish legation to Constantinople,
where he was appointed an honorary
general in the Turkish Army.
In 1869, strange as it seems, Lee
went to Warsaw from America, and
there fought against the Turks! Lee
became interested in Americas bid for
independence, and in 1773 returned to
the New World. He resigned his Brit
ish commission in TITS and was ap-
pointed major general in the Conti-
mental Army by Congress. His rank
was second to that of Washington

Grass Fires Result In
Large Property Damage

A wind-swept fire which raced
through. a mile of grassland and
jumped 20-foot road Tuesday, de-
stroyed the home of John B. Duley,
two miles north of Potomac.
Volunteer fire departments from
Rockville, Cabin John, and Sandy
Spring responded, but without water
were helpless to halt the flames,
which leaped 20 feet high and left
only the foundation of Duley's home
and five outbuildings.
Damage was estimated at $4,000.
At GAINESVILLE, 20 miles from
Rockville on the old Frederick road,
four-room log house was razed
when it's roof was ignited by sparks
from the chimney.
Robert Smith, colored, his wife
and six children escaped before the
rapidly burning roof collapsed.

Food Survey About
Completed; County
Health Dept Says
IA Inspections Made Of Res
taurants, Soda Fountains,
ETC., In Montgomery

Approximately two-thirds of the
restaurants, soda fountains and gas
oline filling stations have been visited
by the sanitary inspectors of the
Montgomery County Health Depart
ment according to DIR. VII. Ellicott,
County Health Officer, in report
to the Chamber Of Commerce Health
Contest Committee March 8. These
visits are being made as county
wide survey recommended by the
committee1at it's january meeting.
Seventy-four inspections have been
made and the inspectors report good
cooperation in all but one instance.
As whole, standards of cleanliness
are quite good but most Of the
places are deficient in the sterilin-
ton of dishes and utensils. This,
however, is not due to negligence
but to lack of knowledge of modern
methods. To kill disease producing
bacteria dishes should have final
immersion in water at temperature
Of ct least ITO degrees Fahrenheit or
immersion in chlorine solution Of at
least one hundred parts per million
or be subjected to live steam. Few
places have equipment for any Of
these methods.
Another deficiency in eating places
is failure to display sign Tor q
statement on the menu card) show
ing the grade of milk used and
whether the milk is raw or pas
teurized.
The conditions found in filling sta
tons are very good.
DR.. Ellicott also reported that the
plan for giving talks on veneareal
diseases to adult groups is progress
ing satisfactorily. Notices are being
sent to organizations of the county
and the first showing of the talking
film "For All Our Sakes" was made
before the Takoma Park Chamber of
Commerce on March End.
In the report of health activities
submitted for the county for the
calendar year 1887 in connection with
the Chamber of Commerce Health
Contest satisfactory progress was
noted in milk sanitation, in diph-
iberia immunization of school chill
dren, in venereal disease clinics
and in tuberculosis work. Deficiencies
still exist in pre-school diphtheria
immunization and in the volume Of
nurses work in child hygiene, par
ticularly the prenatal service.

His decision hinged on the fact that
considerable opposition has developed

alternatives, it is reported.
Mr.. William, who lives in Laytons-

Artificial Lake
To Be Stocked By
Local Fisherman
President Reuben Riggs APP
points Committee; Drive
For Quail Continues

Construction of an artificial lake on
the farm Of Mrs. Lilly C. Stone, near
the Congressional Country Club, and
stocking it with brook and rainbow
trout, to be obtained from Federal and
State fisheries, is one of the immedi-
ate major projects of the Rockville
Izaak Walton League Chapter.
President Riggs appointed COM
mittee, consisting of Owen Knight,
chairman; Bradley Van Hoessen and
Robert A. Hughes, to contact other
Izaak Walton League units of the
State with view to forming State
federation of such groups. 1t was ex-
planned that the principal purpose of
a statewide organization would be to
have it work for enactment by the
next General Assembly of a model
game law designed chiefly to divorce
the State Conservation Commission
from politics, and other legislation
looking to further conservation of
wild life.
1t was reported that the drive for
funds with which to purchase Virgin
ia quail for liberation in all parts Of
the county, which the chapter recent
ly inaugurated, was progressing fair
ly well. 1t was felt, however, that re-
suits so far obtained could be i'm
proved upon and it was decided to
continue the campaign with renewed
vigor and to purchase the bob white
for release early in April.
/ 1t was stated that within the next
week or ten days a large number Of
brook and brown trout would be re-
ceived by the chapter from the State
fishery at Lewistown, Md, for re-
lease in various streams of the county

Able-bodied men seeking relief in
Montgomery County hereafter will be
put to work on county road projects
along with county prisoners as a
result of action taken Tuesday by
county commissioners.
BY unanimous vote, the board
adopted a resolution calling for en-
ployment of all able-bodied men in
any family seeking relief on road
projects at a salary of $1.75 per day
for six-day week. No relief will
be granted where a man able to
work declines to do so.
To avoid conflicting with farm
labor, the present program will last
for only 80 days, at the expiration
of which it is expected that work
will be available on county farms.
At that time the relief applicants
will be referred to farmers seeking
men.
The Board was notified by the
Maryland State Roads Commission
that the $1,000 salary increase
granted last week to former Com
