The Real Glory Opens
Today al RiaIio Theaier

Andrea Leeds and Gary Cooper
as they appear in Samuel Goldwyn's
new adventure drama, THE Real
Glory" which will have its premiere
showing at the Rialto theater to-
day, unfolds a thrilling and excit-
ing tale of the Philippine Scouts
and their heroic bravery at the con-
clusion of the Spanish-American
War, when the Philippines were
overrun by insurrectionists and re-
ligious fanatics.
The central theme of 1.-THE Real
Glory" revolves around the exploits
of the scouts, who became a con-
stabulary on the island and rallied
to their support loyal natives and
peaceful Moros. The Moros, a tribe
of unorthodox Mohammedans, had
retreated to the hills and jungles of
the Sulu Kingdom to wage a fierce
religious wal against the remaining
American troops.

HOW MUCH DID YOU GET?

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Ma
tional Resources Planning Board
estimates that total u. S. consumers
income was $500 billion in 1885
1886, of which $500 billion was
spent for living costs and luxuries,
and 10 per cent was saved. One
third of the nations families and
individuals had incomes under $3.50
per year; their current living costs
accounted for about 7 billion dol
lars, or only IA per cent of the to-
tai, and but 6 billion dollars of this
came from current income, it was
reported. Remainder came from
previous savings, loans from rela-
tives and friends, credit at retail
stores or other forms of borrowing.

Miners MAKE TEST
OF 8.H0UR STATUTE
Continued from Page u


The fact that 81 per cent of the in
habitants of the richest hill on
earth die of s~ilicosis, as shown by
the county records, is gruesome evi-
dence of the vital need for short
ening the work day.
The miners, therefore, cannot be
held back from the fight for a short
er work day by any idea that it
might eat into the company's profits.
The fiction that the Butte mines
produce no profits for the Anaconda
Co. has been exploded by the recent
reports of the corporation which
show an increase in profits for the
first nine months of 1899 of about
six million dollars above those OF
the same period of last year.
On the other hand the company's
foreign holdings showed practically
no increase in profits in the same
period. This would seem to indi-
cate that the reason for operating
the Butte mines is not because
Butte is dearer to my heart than
the balance sheets of the company
as stated by Cornelius F. Kelley
The shortening of the work day
of the Butte miners must inevitably
benefit the entire community. Ar
improvement of the health and we'll
being of the miner means an i'm.
provement of the health and we'll
being of the entire population.

Mass Meeting Asks
Simmons Removal
From University Posi-
CONTINUED from Page d

A&OllllilQCQ llOill L aSC -
speech, DIR. N. J.. Lennes went to
the heart of the matter by describ-
ing President Simmons incompe-
tence and his eagerness to please
his downtown" employers. He told
of the long period of harmony the
university enjoyed under the adj
ministration of the late President
C. H. Clapp, and contrasted with it
the almost unbelievable dissen-
sion, jealousy, and terror sown by
President Simmons.
DR.. Lennes cited several instances
illustrative of President Simmons
small genuine oncern for the wei
fare of the university. During the
past year when President Simmons
was searching for publicity items
that would gain the university
favorable public attention, three
items were submitted to him. The
first was the publication of DR.. H.
G. Merriam's biography of Edward
Ioxom, a book that received en-
thusiastic critical acclaim through
out the United States, and even
greater acclaim abroad. The second
was the republication of one of DR..
Lennes' own articles in a highly in
fluential Italian journal that pub
fishes only a few foreign articles a
year. Third was the publication of
a monumental treatise on forestry
by DR.. C. A. Schenck of German
one of the worlds greatest foresters
and several times a member of the
Montana state university forestry
faculty, who identified himself as
such on the title page of his great
book and in a letter to dean of the
forestry school T. C. Spaulding.
President Simmons used nor of
these items, DR.. Lennes explained,
because Merriam, Lennes, and
Spaulding were on his purge list.
Although the crowd was small, it
was attentive and enthusiastic, and
at the close of the meeting passed
unanimously a resolution directing
Chairman Coyle to write to the
Governor of Montana and to the
State Board of Education in the
name of the crowd there assembled
and request the immediate dismissal
of President Simmons and the re-
i~nstatement of Mollett, Atkinson,
Keeney, Merriam, and Lennes.

A discussion toward the end of
the meeting occurred over the
operation of the correspondence
school at Missoula which is being
assisted by the WPA. It was brought
out that the last legislature appro-
priated a certain amount of money
to assist boys and girls in isolated
communities of Montana to obtain a
high school education, but there
appears to be some dissention be-
tween the operation of the CORES
pondence school and the state SUI

Upper or lower BERTH" inquired

Well" replied the ticket agent,
the difference is two dollars. But
that is not all. The lower is higher
than the upper one. The higher
price is for the lower. If you want
it lower, you have to go higher. VIZ
sell the upper lower than the lower.

had been considering. Professor E.
A. Atkinson likewise rendered his
resignation, as of September l, 1910,
instead of waiting for the submits
sion of charges and their hearing
before the Board. These two cases
therefore are closed.
Since no designations have been
submitted by Mr.. Philip o. Keeney
of the University Library or Dean
C. E. F. Mollett of the School of
Pharmacy, the State Board of Edu-
cation still has these matters pend
ing for further consideration.
Messrs. Keeney and Mollett have
already been advised that they will
be presented by the Board with
charges and given thirty days in
which to prepare for formal hear
ings before the Board. They will
be permitted to appear in their own
defense and be allowed to have ad-
visors or attorneys of their own
choosing.
You will therefore see that in
every way we are complying with
the regulations set up some twenty
years ago by the State Board of
Education at the suggestion of the
local chapter of the American Asso-
citation of University Professors, and
which regulations with minor
amendments made in 1921 and 1922
have proven entirely satisfactory to
the faculty members on this campus.
Montana State University is a
member of the National Association
of State Universities, and these mat
tiers of custom and procedure were
considered at great length at the
annual meeting in Chicago last No
vember. Our own procedures here
are entirely in line with the best
policies of other state universities.
We are naturally not eligible for
membership in the Association of
Land Grant Colleges and the Asso-
citation of Urban Universities, and
are not a member of the Associa-
ton of American Colleges, which
associations include institutions of
quite different types having sources
of support and kinds of income
quite dissimilar and usually consid-
erably larger than those of state
universities.
We r very happy to be able to
advise you that the institution and
the State Board have adhered me
ticulously to regulations of long
standing, fitting well into the ma
tional pattern, and to assure you
that they will be safeguarded and
carefully observed. AS a consistent
believer in liberal thought, l also
want to assure you that neither the
members of the State Board of Edu-
cation nor l have any desire or in
tention of doing anything but pre-
serving fully the principles of civil
liberty, academic freedom, and due
process to which you refer.
Faculty members at Montana
State University are free to teach,
think, and speak with the greatest
possible liberty; to join any and all
organizations or political parties
they may wish. Our only desire is
for a continued development and
growth of this institution to serve
Montana's changing needs, and to
have each and every member of the
faculty or staff show devotion to the
institution and to the highest prin-
ciples of teaching and research.
am sure that your own love for
a spirit of fairness will lead you to
send copies of this letter to the
newspapers and persons to whom
you sent copies of your letter of in
quiry addressed to me.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Geo. Finlay Simmons,
President.

on that intently serious look she had learned to love, but some day youu know it's true"
 Content in her memories, Emily burrowed deeper into her pillow and, at last, slept. "The boy with the crushed foot, Alan ordered, strengthening up, as two men lifted an unconsciuos pa- tient from the table. "Let Grady or me take over," Farrell urged. You've been work ing steady for over two hours. Ease up a bit. There's a lot more work to be done"
 I'm all right" Alan answered.
 A man came in with a fresh acetylene lamp and reflector to replace one that had burned out. From a corner Eric asked: How soon are they going to get that power plant back in operation?" Any time now" the man re- piled. Baker says 1t won't be more than ten minutes more. Got enough fioodlights in here, boss?"
 "YeS. Tell them to hurry" Alan stared down at the suffer- ing lad on the table, caught a glimpse of the white, dirt-streaked face.
 Hes so young" said Father Johnson, softly.
 "Just a kid," Weber added. Far rell nodded.
 "Well, we'll have to amputate." !" Alan squared his shoulders, took a deep breath. Patient asleep?"
 "He will be in a couple of min- utes."
 Scalpel. Clamps. The swift delft movements of Alan's sure hand. Sutures. Dressings. It was al- most over.
 It was then that Eric took his eyes from the table, glanced up, and saw 1t. That actelylene lamp, burning brightly, teetering on the shelf above Alan's haed. Inse- curely placed, the wind had jared it, inching it forward until now it was almost ready to fall. Intent upon the operation, no one had noticed it. One more gust of wind would bring it down. In the half second before the wind shook the shack again Eric could see Alan's gown in flames, see his hands burned, his face scared. Alan was intent upon his work. If he shouted, Eric knew, Alan would look up, just in time to catch the reflector and flame full in his face.
 The lamp started down. Eric jumped.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
The Gods of the Greeks

The Gods ot the Greeks MAN has always hungefed for ''A some form of cosmic support but the ancient Greeks probably set record for all time with the number of deities peopling their world.
 The Creek mind was brilliantly imaginative. Whatever an ancient Creek could not understand he att tributed to the gods. Thus the Creeks virtually dramatled the universe through a hierarchy of supreme rulers. They had a god corresponding to every beautiful and terrible sight in the world and there was a god for every power and process of nature.
 There was Terra, the earth, for instance, the mother of all earthly things. She was married to Ura- nus, the sky. The Greeks believed man was born of earth, then sat- urated with water and warmed to life by the heat of the sun, pre- sided over by still another deity. Highest god of all was Zeus who ruled from atop the 10,000-foot Mount Olympus.
 The Creek gods are portrayed often on stamps of modern Greece, such as Helios driving the sun chariot, Pallas Athene holding Pegasus, Hermes and many others.
 Iris is shown above on a current Greek value. Iris was messenger of the goddesses, but especially Juno's, since she helped Juno in her duties.
 The picture here is typical. Iris Is usually pictured in art as a graceful maiden with beautiful shining wings. Poets of ancient Greece wrote that the rainbow was the trail of the feet of Iris as she ascended Olympus with a heav- enly message.

CHAPTER XVIII

Alan was at Fries heels as the engineer led the way up the long, steep steps from the river bank to the office. Acetylene lamps-a pipe in a container that resembled a milk can, and surmounted by a pol- ished reflector-lighted the way. All over the area similar lamps were burning, lighting the debris, the break in the diversion dam, and the wreckage of the main structure in Q cold white light.
 Power plant went out too," Burke explained as they finally reached the top, panting and al- ready weary. "We1l have it back in shape soon. Got the electricians on it."
 i. Get a flock of those torches in the office," Eric ordered. Keep them away from the wall and the ceiling. They get hot, and we don't want a fire. Get down and hurry them up on that power. The injured men are there." He nodded toward the office.
 A few workmen were standing near the closed door. They stepped back, quickly, opening a path for Eric, Alan and the others. Inside, in the dim light, Alan saw the prone forms of a dozen men. Most of them were moaning, a couple were cursing, and in one corner 8 youngster, hardly more than a boy, was crying softly.
 Weber, you see that every in- jured man has anti-tetanus," Far rell commanded, taking charge. Grady, you and Alan examine them, while I get things ready. Get some light in here Kane, and clear all that stuff off that long table. We'll operate there"
 In a few minutes the engineers office took on the appearance of 3 fair operating room. White, sterile sheets covered the table, Instruments still covered with sterile towels awaited Alan's
