were the only homes certain class Oi
men ever knew. And dotted here and
there on buttes are piles Of stone known
as "Sheepherders' Monuments" They
were intended as guidep0sts In that
treeless, barren land. But they might
well be In truth, what they are In word
monuments 10 the patience, the eff
cheney, often the heroism of MOntana's
sheepherders.
The progress Of our west owes much
to the sheep and cattle industry. Pho
neer cattlemen had been lauded. Ro-
nance and glamour have been cast over
the cowboy. We hear of him in poetry
and song. But the sheepherder Is not
romantic or glamourous. He has no
part in the dramatic recital of Mon
tanas past. And yet without that old,
solitary, shaggy haired nomad of the
plains, with his dog, there could have
been no sheep industry.
When we began homesteading on
Antelope Point out in Lake Basin, the
plains stretched, unhindered by fences
or roads, to the horizon. There we're no
plowed lands, no fields Of wheat and
houses were miles apart. Grazing wild
cattle freckled the buttes. No sound
broke the stiffness except the coyote s
howl or the bleating chorus Of a band
Of sheep. We we're Is miles from town.
And So when an old. ragged, very dirty
man appeared at our door one day
and asked If he could have q drink Of
water for himself and dog, we welcomed
him. Here was human being. We
could listen to some human voice other
than our own, perhaps get news Of the
outside world.
Hauled Water In Barrels
Our weekly supply Of water, those
days, we hauled in two barrels which
we covered with a ~tarp" and set it
on the shady side of the house. Those
two barrels supplied water for cook
ing, cleaning, bathing and drinking. It
was lukewarm and tasted Of sulphur
We gave the old man and his dog all
they could drink, and, in return, piled
him with questions which he answered
or not, Just as It suited his fancy.
His name, he said, was Pete Lynch
He herded sheep for Thomas. He hadn't
been TO town for three months. Yes,
he had a family. Shep, here, and Spot,
whom he'd left with the sheep. were
his family. He was born hack east "

MAY END GRAY
 HAIR BY DIETS

WOOSTER, O., June l7.-Here's s good news for folks worried about their hair turning gray.
 A scientific experiment reported to the forty-eighth annuel meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science here presented the possibility that variations in diet may have partial control over the color of human hair.
 pr. Charles Hunt, associate in nutrition in the Ohio experiment station here. told the 250 assembled scientists from Ohio educational in- stitutions that omission of the vita min B-6 caused hair on rats us.d in. experiment. to turn gray.
 Feeding liberal quantities of the yitamin restored the hair to its for mer black color, Dr. Hunt said.
 It was the first disclosure by pr. Hunt of the food factor in the ex- periments, although some weeks ago he revealed the result achieved.

 The petition declares that the in- habitants of this district are com pletely separated from the rest of Maine by forest, that they market their products in Canada and that the payment of customs duties on such products is burdensome and veXatious.

IrUin Suggests:

I agree with Mr.. Protestant
in his suggestion to have a series
of dinners for Father Coughiin.
In fact, have a few of my own
suggestions to offer.
AS guests of honor or dis
honor we could invite Fritz
Kuhn. Fritz and Father Cough
lin would probably enjoy COM
pairing notes with each other.
We could also invite Baron
Munchausen and have a battle
of wits between him and Father
Coughlin to see who could tell
the tallest tales.
Now, for dinner. we could
serve some of the good fathers

the guests would rather not
have indigestion. Finally, to
end a perfect meal, we could
serve fish. Fish, as you know, is
brain food.
We could charge each guest

as our democracy is kept alive.
Our democracy must be de-
Tended as well as our faith.
1t is very easy for men like
Father Coughlin to deliver talks
and poison the minds of some
of our good citizens who would
turn with hate to their fellow
men.
We have no other alternative
when our democracy is at
tackled and freedom of men at
stake, to censor the speeches by
the attackers and to appoint
judges who would pass on the
truth of their teachings.
Only then can we succeed to
root, out all new "iSms" and
self-styled politi ians who

there objects to that.
But when President of the United States merely LET'S
his children work at any trade at ALL his political enemies
caterwau about nepotsm and unfair advantages and un
due influence This though the aforementioned private
fortunes are usually ongived while the Presidency up
to now is only an eightyear job at the outside.
If the Presidents enemies want his children deprived of
the incidental help they get from their fathers promi
nence the Presidents enemies ought also to that
wealthy private citizens be made somehow to quit giving
their children any direct indirect boosts Of course
fathers are to be kept from letting their children benefit
from their achievements luck, of the main incen
tives to work under the capitalist system will be struck
down. But the Presidents enemies ought not to worry
about that if they consistent.
Mrs Roosevelt said it all satisfactorily thought at

they haven't Also, whether Presidents wife must sink
completely into the background though she is active
and socially minded person. and though this is age
when married who keep up their independent
interests and activities are respected and admired.
The long and the short of these attacks the Presi
dents family is that they constitute dirty politics. There
are more substantial for dsagreeng with Presi
dent Roosevelt and far decent sportsmanike
to fight him. We can't help thinking that these family at
tack will kick back in their practitioners faces day.

lady doesn't want her public
to think she is Slovak or, per-
haps, an ashamed-of-her-race
Slovak. It shouldn't bother her.
Twelfth Night, or the Epi-
phany, has had much greater
part in the naming of children.
1t was the great religious festi-
val of the Eastern Church and
was strongly marked with
Christmas influence. The three
wise men who came to Bethle-
hem bearing gifts have accom-
plished much in the matter of
spreading names. According TO
general tradition they were
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar.
From the first comes the Eng
lish Jasper, the French Gaspard,
the German Kaspar.
Melchior'S name was a bit too
hard to pass on with success but
Balthazar gave Italy Baldassare,
to Spain Baltazar and to Ire
land. mark me well first Balta-
zar from Spain, changed TO
Baltimar, to Baltimore-cross-
ing the ocean in that form, to
Maryland.

~ there is very little to go on.
If the baby is a boy I am sure
you don't want to make his
juvenile and adolescent life mis-
erable by calling him Bozo, Bal
tazar or Baltimore. like Ma
tascha for a girl-baby but I
fear me for the effect as she
grows up and starts taking her
self seriously. I knew a Ma
tascha once whose last name
was Sullivan-which is as illus
trious a name as any on the
worlds roll of human beings.
But the "Natascha" swamped
this baby after she was no
longer a baby. Although she
was rot exotic she came to con-
slider herself exotic, dressed the
part, posed the part and, as a
final gesture to the Natascha
complex, dropped the fine old
name of Sullivan for something
she considered very, very Rus
sian. I wouldn't want Mary
Martins daughter to get such
ideas in her head.
But after all you yourself,
young woman, have as beautiful
a name as there is in the calen-
dar. And, what's more, it is in
timately associated with Christ
mas Day-for wasn't Mary the
mother of Jesus Christ? You
have to look no further.
And if it's a boy call him
after me.
