WOMAN,S REALM
Glorving Yourself
By Alicia Hart

In the midst of the battle be- tween Hollywood devoteeS of the long bob and New York and Paris hairdreSsers who advocate upswept cultures 8 prominent makeup ex- pert in the film capitol launches a practical compromise between the two-a true Compromise Cut"
 Leaving the ends at the back very long as Hollywood stars like 1t, he lifts mass of hair on top of the head up and away from fore head and ears, parting it to end in V point in the center back. Then he arranges rather thick ringlets on top, being particularly careful not to mar the V.
 As result, the stars who have adopted the new cultures are eat ing their cake and having it, too. It lets them retain the softly Hat tering effect of a long bob-always pretty frame for the throat and sure to soften the otherwise hard line of the average jaw-yet 1t has enough of the upswept about it to make them feel up-to-the-minute.
 One of the incest things about the Compromise Cut is that almost any girl can learn to rearrange it herself. The topknot piece can be rolled up on small curlerS, then brushed out over fingers, while long ends at the back can be turned under with a warm iron or rather fat curlers. To keep the curls up, simply use tiny invisible combs.
 SATELLITES THE HAT
 PROBLEM CONSIDERABLY
 The Compromise Cut also makes the hat problem infinitely more simple. No more having to wear tiny doll hats when you know very well tiny doll hats just don't suit your face or your personality no matter how much your coiffure seems to demand them. And no more con- Stant fuSSing with stray ends at the back or being self-conscious about your hair-do. You can be yourself again and forget your hair once it is combed just as you're supposed to forget your clothes once you have brushed them and put them on.
 Naturally, a good permanent wave is absolutely necessary for any kind of coiffure which makes use of ring lets. For the Compromise Cut, however, have only the topknot and back ends waved, leaving the sec tioh between the turned-under ends and the V straight.
 Brush your hair every single night for three weeks and have or give yourself three or four scalp treat ments before making the appoint ment for the permanent, then do be- reasonably conscientious about brushing afterward. Whether you wear long bob, an upswept coif- fure, the Compromise Cut or some variation of it, remember that shiny, alive-looking hair is more easily manageable.

STATE REHABILITATION
AGENT ASKS UNIONS
FOR DOPE RATION
Mr.. WHISKY Describes Work of
Placing Cripples Back in In
dustry.

Mr.. j. E. WHISKY, field agent for
the State Bureau for Vocational Re-
Mobilization, is a caller in town this
week, and will remain over for sew
eral days on bureau matters. Mr..
WHISKY represents a little known
bureau which functions jointly I'M
der state and national regulations
and deals with the employable citi-
zenry who have suffered permanent
physical disabilities and who must
therefore be trained to a new voca-
ton in life if they are to become
self-supporting citizens again. These
people are trained in both private
and public institutions, covering
both sexes and all individuals re-
CARELESS of class, creed or color. AL
most every vocation known to man
is available but restrictions due to
length of training, time and cost,
together with labor unions and 9TH
er restrictions has held the number
of vocations to a much smaller mini
mum than it should be. Most of the
beneficiaries of the bureau in Silver
Bow County are taking a CONNER
cial course and there r but three
or four in the trades division.
It is Mr.. Winsby's intention to
visit as many of the labor ~organiza-
tons during the next few days as
possible to explain the workings of
the bureau and the need for their
full cooperation. Maintenance pay
is granted in most instances together
with cost of tuition, books and sup
plies, to those who are found eli
gible under the act. Funds for the
bureau r appropriated at each
session of the Legislature to match
federal appropriations. The money
is used exclusively in Montana. The
three people connected with the
bureau hold the expenditures for
overhead to an absolute minimum.
Lief Fredricks of Helena is the state
supervisor, and Miss Cecile Mat
thews of Townsend "a protege of
the bureau) is its secretary.
Mr.. WHISKY is stopping at the
Grand Hotel and anyone interested
may find him there or leave a call
and he will call and see them.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Andrew
Furuseth, president of the Inter
national Seamen's Union of America
since 1908. the oldest executive of
the American Labor Movement and
Father of the LaFollette Seamen's
Act, died in a nursing home here
on January % following a serious
illness extending over many months.
AS a special tribute to the man
who spent his entire life bringing
liberty to American seamen and sea-
men of all other nations when in
American ports, Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins ordered that the
body of Mr.. Furuseth lie in state in
the Labor Department auditorium
from noon until 3 p. m. on January
%. This was the first time in the
history of the Department of Labor
that such a tribute has been paid to
the memory of any person. The
casket, with two Coast Guardsmen
standing at attention, was banked
with floral offerings from many or
CARNATIONS and individuals. During
the three hours while the body lay
in state a large number of citizens,
including labor officials residing in
the Washington area, paid tribute
to the veteran trade union leader.

LabOr's NOn-p PARTISAN
League Is Organized

Organized labor in Silver Bow
County is determined not to repeat
the political mistakes of 1896. With
the view Of getting united support
for a progressive program of legis-
lation and dependable candidates for
public office, a county unit of La
boris Non-P PARTISAN League has been
organized.
Sam Spiegel, majority floor lead
er in the last session has also ini-
tiated a movement with practically
the same detectives in view. Close
cooperation has been established
between the two groups.
The next meeting of the League
will be held in Judge Downey's
courtroom on Thursday, February
II, at 8 p. m. All labor unions are
being asked to participate in this
movement so that there will not be
another "Servile Six" representing
Silver Bow County in the State
Legislature.

LAB0R'S POLITICAL
CONFERENCE STARTS
MACHINERY MOVING

Labor's political conference met
at Musicians hall February 6 at 2
p. m, with approximately Is unions

mony with Labor's Non-P artisan
League. The following permanent
officers were elected: President, Sam
Spiegel; vice president, Mike Null
holland of Engineers No. 83; secre-
tary, Mrs. Hodge of Women's Pro
tective Union.
The chair appointed a committee
of five to act as a legislative com
mittee in conjunction with the like
committee from Labor's Non-Parti-
sal League.
The opinion was overwhelmingly
in favor of proceeding along the
lines outlined by Spiegel. Labor

OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOL
ELECTION DEPENDS ON YOUR VOTE

Organized labor and the liberal
minded people of Silver Bow Coun-
ty are urging the citizens to register
in order that the administration of
school affairs in this district may
be taken out of the hands of the
corporate interests and re-estab-
lished in the hands of the people.
In order to accomplish this purpose,
it is essential that the citizenry i'm
mediately register. If you do not
register by February Is, you will
be barred from voting in the school
election, Notwithstanding that you
did vote in the last general election.
The legislature at the last session
passed a measure which destroyed
the old registration rolls and which
compels every eligible person to re-
register in order to be allowed to
vote at any election, consequently
all citizens must re-register. Not
only are the unions asking that the
people qualify to vote at the school
election, but also that they may be
permitted to vote in the primaries
in July and the general election of
couny officers next fall. 1t is sad
commentary on democratic govern
ment that so few people exercise the
right of franchise.
The man or woman citizen who
fails to exercise their franchise to
vote at each election have no moral
right to criticize the conduct of any
public office holder. 1t is a known
fact that even under this democracy,
the minority still govern; to illus
trate: take a community of 100 peo-
pie eligible to register and statistics
will show that an average of about
so do so, except in extreme cases.
Of this so, seldom more than so per
cent exercise their voting privileges
after having registered. The sue
cessful candidate must have a plur-
atty of the votes cast, which often
times is a majority. Sixty per cent
of 100 pSzsaaaAaas "a ansassn.aa Ely,
per cent of the so registered means
80 actually voting. Sixteen would
be the majority vote for the sue
cessful candidate thus proving that
Is people out of 100 in the commu-
nifty designate who shall hold public
If you would have a democ-
racy with all its principles invoked
you must have a greater percentage
than this small number casting their
ballot for successful candidates. Do
your bit and retain your rights le-
and morally and do it now.

UNIONS HEAR LIBERAL
BY |. ERICKSON

Lief Erickson, attorney from Sid
ney, Montana, addressed the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council last
Tuesday and is scheduled to speak
at the Mooney-Billings mass meet
ing at the Miners Union hall, next
Thursday evening.
Mr.. Erickson considered one of
the most liberal members OF the bar
in the state of Montana, was a visi-
tor and guest of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council last Tues
day evening and was called upon
by President Charles Davis for a
talk. In his response Mr.. Erickson
said he was glad to be invited to the
Trades and Labor Council. He mem
toned that he had visited several
Of the central labor bodies in the
state and had expressed himself on
those occasions as approving a
closer relationship between labor
groups and farm groups. Mr.. Erick-
son said that the field of organized
labor and farmers extended farther
than the mere establishment of un-
ions, the protection of wages and
the securing Of higher prices for
farm commodities; rather, he stated,
the maximum benefits for both or
CARNATIONS could only be obtained
by extending their joint activities
into the political and administrative
centers of the state and nation.
Furthermore, thought Mr.. Erickson,
the latter proposition of raising
wages and securing high prices for
farmers for their commodities will
be narrowly circumscribed so long
as the royalists control the money
structure of the nation.
Montana, it is safe to estimate,
said Mr.. Erickson, is 80 per cent
progressive, but Notwithstanding
this huge preponderance of liberal
people and liberal ideas, the state
legislature, at its sessions, is rarily
more than 20 per cent progressive.
This can only be accounted for by
assuming that both the legislative
program of organized labor and of
the farmers does not present a con-
certed effort.
The people in the various counties
of Montana, both farmers and or
ganized labor, must learn to dis
pense with and shelve their re-
dictionary representatives and learn
to choose more modern and liberal
men and women. Mr.. Erickson sug-
gested that the labor organizations
initiate a plan to work out a joint
policy of farmers and workers; to
combine the two groups on the legis-
lative field.
At the joint legislative session of
the unions and farmers called at the
Musicians hall last Sunday, Mr..
Erickson was called upon to speak
and expressed similar ideas at that
meeting.

HUGE sum Is SAVED
STATE BY FREED0URN
Refused to Be Aid for Tax
Dodgers.

The bitterly contested case of the
estate of w. A. Clark, Jr., has at
last been settled and the money been
paid into the Montana State Treas
ury, in the total amount of 1885,
1882.
The story connected with this case
is interesting in that it shows Har-
rison ]. Freebourn's interest in the
small business man, the farmer, the
home-owner as well as the laborer.
There were two points in contro-
versy brought up from the trial
court, namely, first, the question of
the adoption of the residuary le-
gatee, second, the question as to the
deduction of the federal estate tax
being a proper deduction in arriving
at the true market value. The low
er court held in favor of the state
on the first question and adversely
on the question of the deduction.
At this point Harrison j. Free
bourn as the incoming Attorney
General, came into action. The
Board of Equalization were perfect
ly satisfied with the final decision
of the lower court for they feared
that an appeal would lose to them
the adoption question as well as the
matter of deduction Of federal estate
tax, and when Attorney Freebourn
refused to accept this decision and
compromise the case on this basis
the Board of Equalization insisted
on a settlement and asked that the
case be turned back to them and
agreed to assume the burden of
any reflection that might result
from such a compromise with the
Clark interests. Freebourn prom
ised to give his answer to this pro-
posal the following week, in the
meantime he was besieged by the
attorneys from the Sixth floor of
the Hennessy building and by the
members of the Board of Equaliza-
ton to give an immediate decision,
%whereupon his reply was that the
case had been thrown into his lap
and he would assume full response
bility for an appeal. Had an appeal
not been made the State of Montana
would have lost 1898, 914.38 and in
terest thereon.
The case was vigorously contested
