American Legion
Have Good Time

Last Friday night the members
of the American Legion gathered
at the Legion Hall and had a real
feed and good time. All members
who could possibly make the party
were on hand and the successful
manner in which the party was
carried off will be an incentive to
have another one like it in the
near future. Commander VIII am
Short is bending every effort to
arouse the Legionaire's interest
and to make the American Lesion
one of the most active orgariza-
tion in town.

Rotarians Defeat
Odd Fellows 20 to 9

The much touted game between
the Odd Fellows and the Rotar-
ians was played last Friday night
as scheduled but turned out quite
differently than many had suspect
ed. The Rotarians slamed their
way to a 29 to victory, every
man on the Odd Fellow team nav-
ing chance to show his skill as
a pitcher. Mel Harris did the catch
ing for the Odd Fellows but the
pitching staff was to numerous
to mention. Batteries for the
Rotarians were Hank" Cole, asd
Jimmy Jayne, who relieved Charlie
Cohen. Jayne has plenty left of
what it takes and batted ont a
home run to help put his team far
out in front Another game Is
scheduled for Friday night but the
Odd Fellows claim that this game
will be a different story. They
have mustered into their service
none other than the Coolidge
Boosters ace pitcher David Davis
and knowing his ability we pre-
dict that the Rotarians will be in
for a rough night. After last weeks
victory it looks as though the
Rotarians really mean business
when they take on the Lions Club
for a game.

Theodore Roosevelt's
Face Unveiled On
Mt. Rushmore

RAPID CITY, >. D.-COmple-
ton of the Mt Rushmore National
Memorial drew nearer this month
when Sculptor Gutzon Borglum
unveiled with light" the fourth
and last face to be carved on the
worlds largest sculptoring before
a crowd of 10000 persons.
Timing the unveiling as climax
of the fiftieth anniversary celebra-
ton of statehood of South Dakota
July 2, Mr.. Borglum revealed for
the frs time the upper part of the
face of Theodore Roosevelt. The
four heads which have been
carved in the So months during
which funds were provided since
1927 are. from left to right on the
mountain, Washington, Jefferson,
Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
This months ceremony was the
fourth since August 1927, when
President Calvin Coolidge rode a
horse-drawn wagon to the site to
declare the 6,040-foot rock a Ma
tional Monument The head of
Washington was dedicated in 1892
and those of jefferson and Lincoln
in 1886 and 1887. The latter two
were unveiled by President Roose-
welt and Senator Edmund Burke
of Nebraska.
Bv far the largest monument in
the world, Mt. Rushmore's four
stone faces dwarf the Sphinx by
comparison. The head Of the
Sphinx is four feet shorter than
Washington's nose. Each head
measures approximately 60 feet
from crown to chin and the figures
are carved to the scale of man
465 feet tall. The dome of the
United States Capitol would fit
snugly over Washington's head.
Although Sculptor Borglum
hopes to have the fourfaces near
completion by the end OF the
fiscal year 1910, several years will
be required to finish all the finer
carving on the monument. Total
cost to date has been approximate
ly s75O,OOO.
The stone faces are carved to
scale, following the detail of 90
inch figures in the studio at the
foot of the mountain is made pos
sible through the use of horizontal
rods atop the heads, vertical plumb
lines. and horizontal tapes from
the plumb line to the faces. All this
equipment is made exactly to the
scale of one inch to the foot. cor
responding with that on the 60-
inch models in the studio. More
than 100000 tons of granite have
been removed from the mountain
side in the carving.
Unveiling of the monument 1oi-
lowed a pageant depicting the
White Mans arrival in the North
west and talks by Gov. Harlan j.
Bushfield. Mr.. Borglum, and Will
liam S. Hart, former silent screen
actor. Illumination for the unveil-
ing was furnished by the moon,
fireworks, and floodlights.-Ch

Fire Drills
For Schools
BY the National Board of Fire
Underwriters


Underwriters
Many a ghastly tragedy has been
the ultimate result OF inadequate
training of school children in the
all-important matter of fire drills.
Here, described by THE highest
source, are the simple basic direc-
tions for remedying that danger
Gus inadequacy.
The first essential In the event
of fire in any school is to have the
children leave the building in an
orderly manner and to reach a
point OF safety without injury.
Questions of fire fighting, OF
calvaging wearing apparel, or OF
attempting in any way to save
mere material things are second
ary to the safety of the school
children, and should not be under
taken until all the pupils and all
the teachers, or others who are
responsible for any group OF pupils,
have left the building and have
been accounted for; even visitors
must leave the building if only as
an example, to. the children OF
orderly procedure. The matter OF
saving property from destruction
can well be left in the hands OF
the fire department or to such
adults as may be detailed to this
work after all have left the build
ing. The quick transmission of an
alarm to the fire department is an
essential which must always be
provided for. Some states require
a fire alarm box at each school
building.
Fire safety for schools must pro-
vide a definite program by which
the location of all the available
exits will be known to all of the
children. To accomplish this it is
necessary to have frequent drills,
well planned, properly supervised
and intelligently coordinated
When an actual fire occurs, the
selection of the proper exit should
be made without any hesitation.
Frequency Of drills is more i'm.
portant in the primary and gram
mar grades than in the high school
grades. BY the time pupils have
reached high school, the panicky
feeling of drill should no longer
exist.
Every school building is differ
ept; the age. size. and nationality
of children change yearly, and the
teaching staff and building EN-
ployes do not remain the same
during the entire term. 1t is neces
sary therefore for each school to
consider the question Of removing
the children from the building al
time of fire a personal one requir
ing a definite study by the princi
pal or superintendent and the vari
GUS adults working in the build

BY BOB .MERKLEY

II the final decision were left
up to you, would you give
Congressman pension? Probably
not, and that is Just what kept the
Congressman from getting one.
They knew you would not like It,.
To those OF us who have never
know how it feels to make ten
thousand a year, a pension for the
man who does seems a little too
much of good thing. Why, ou
ten thousand I could The
Congressman knew we would see
it that way. Yet we pension our
Army officers. We look after our
Judges when they became too old
to Judge Our Supreme Court
Justices retire on twenty thousand
year. All-Civil Service employees
draw a pension when their useful
days are over.
Somehow we do not question
their right to a pension when they
have served their country until
they are too old to serve II
further. But wait, that Is not all
We even have decrepit cavalry
horses Willing away their last days
in lush Virginia pastures.
The pension proposed for Con-
gressmen was not to be an out
right gift from the Government
They were to pay five per cent
of their salaries into fund. That
means $500 a year But every dol
lar contributed by the Congress
men was to be matched by
dollar from Uncle Sam. Then, with
fifteen years of service and 62
wears of age the Congressman
could retire with an annuity OF
almost s1,7O0. OF course you and
would holler about that, for
somehow the difference would
come out of our pockets.
And what do we get out OF IL!
Our greatest hope would be in the
independence we would be giving
to our lawmakers. AS it is, you
know. we have coal Senators,
lumber Senators, railroad Senators
and this.that- and-the-other Sena-
tors who cannot draw a breatn
without permission from the IN
dustries which sent them to WASH
ington. And solon worrying
about the source of his future
groceries. can hardly be expected
to give his all to making our laws
Humans are not that way, you
know.
The Congressmen argued WIN
more than the usual amount ol
feeling when the bill was Droueh'
to the floor of the House. Some
thought they were within their
rights in voting themselves pen
sion and they did not hesitate to
saw so. But others were skeptical.
They knew, and even admitted
that a vote for a retirement an
nuity might bring on retirement
all too soon. AS one Congressman
put it: "They voted against II
with their fingers crossed anu
hoped to God it would pass.

Copper Price Outlook
Helped by Steady
Rise in Demand
Expansion in Foreign
And Domestic Sales
Cited by Report
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, June 26.-With foreign
demand and prices trending upward,
and industrial activity here be-
ginning to expand, q basis is being
provided for higher domestic copper
prices, says the United Business
Service in its current weekly report.
Copper sales by producers during
April and May averaged just under
$4,000 tons, and maintenance of the
current daily rate will result in to-
tai sales for June well above $4,000
tons. Thus, second quarter volume
will be the highest since the third
quarter last year. and with that ex-
ception since the first quarter in
1887.
The significance of this high sales
level is indicated by the fact that
each of the major price reductions
over the past five years (excluding
the correction o. the inflated price
level in the last quarter of 1880
has been followed by sharp rise
in copper sales. Moreover, in most
instances after each bulge in sales
prices have moved back up to or
above the level before the price cut.
The recent decline has brought
producers and dealers prices again
into close balance and sales over
the near term are expected to con-
tinue heavy.
