Editorial

The band has shown some excel
lent work this last year. What
would reward them more than some
nice, new uniforms that don't con-
SYST of mere cape and a hat of
cheap looking material such as they
have had for the last ten years.
What would give the band better
reward TO work for next year?
The citizens of Libby and of the
high school should be as proud of
the band as of the football team,
basketball team, or track team and
should, therefore, give this organ
lzatlon an equal amount of support
and glory
A new coat of paint can brighten
a house and the whole neighbor-
hood, likewise, new uniforms for
the Libby band would brighten not
only the band itself, but the whole
school and community. When out
of-toWn people see a band they
Judge the band a lot by their uni
forms, and not only that, but they
see reflected in these uniforms the
whole school and community this
particular band represents. Don't
you believe it is, time for steps to
be taken in this direction here in
Libby?

assembly where President Jim
Christie of the Libby Lions Club
introduced Patrolman George Mou-
rar who in turn commended the
boys for their fine record and ex-
eellent work.
President Christie invited the
boys to their annual dinner and pre-
sented caps to Jerry Neils. Bobby
Rodgers, Bobby Roberts, John Cor
bett, Keith Powell, Bob Baskey,
Bobby Jaqueth, John Friend, Pat
Barrett. Tommy Brinton and Ken

Mr. Wood urged the high school
to cooperate more sincerely with
the school patrolmen.
The interest evinced by the large
number of Lions who attended this
assembly not only gives the stu
dents and faculty a great deal of
pleasure, but the support thus shown
proves real help to the school
and is greatly appreciated.

Bobby's Wonders

BY Alice Rodgers, Grade 5,
Bobby sat and wondered why he
wasn't strong,
All the boys leased him and thought
that
He was wrong.
Then his mother told him that he
didn't eat
The proper kind of vegetables,
fruits or
Solid meat
Now, Bobby isn't wondering, but
he really knows
What it is that makes him husky,
why it is that
Now he grows

The. Iron Claw Not a Thriller Movie Folks, but Fash ions Latest De- cree in "Hand-
 cuffs!"

A humane handcuff, which also may be used effectively as 6 tour- niquet, is being demonstrated to the police department in the city court room this afternoon.
 Approved and adopted by state, municipal police, U. s. govern ment, airways, railroads, public and private institutions, the Iron claw, as 1t is tersely called, is 8 harmless looking shiny device, which contains in its steel talons, however, forty times the power of the human hand.
 The Iron Claw is being demon- strated by Y. Smith-Stange, dis- tributor and inventor, of Chicago, III, formerly of the New York police. It consists of two steel prongs which snap open to clasp an ankle, leg, arm, or, If neces- sary, & throat. The instrument may be used also to batter doors in a raid. It is opefated, at least by the inventor, with lightning rapidity, a twist opening the talons, and a twist closing them. Pressure may be applied in vary- ing degrees, according to the re- fractiouness of a prisoner.
 It has been used with the ef- fectiveness of 6 strait jacket on madmen, and has been applied with equal effectiveness to stanch the How of blood in an artery wound.

Insurance Business
 Warrants Confidence
John Blackall Says Companies Must Consider Social
 and Welfare Legislation

Insurance companies must give careful consideration to social and welfare legislation enacted by the U. s. Congress, said Insurance Commissioner John c. Blackall in an address to the Hartford Rotary club yesterday. It cannot be iinmed- itely determined, he said, whether such legislation will serve to stim- ulate business or whether 1t will lead to greater participation in the insurance business by the govern ment.
 Past experience, he said, shows that the insurance business war rants public confidence, and there is no substitute now on the horizon for it. The outlook ahead, he said, is bright but procedure should be cautious.
 The great advances made in the casualty insurance business, he de- clared, have been phenomenal, and he expressed the opinion that this portion of the insurance business furnishes an accurate barometer for chances in social life.
 Referring to the National Asso- ciation of Insurance Commissioners, MT. Blackall said:
 T can observe in the workings of our national association a great insistence, if you will, on the part of the western and southern states for participation in the regulation of companies. It is manifest in our arguments over the methods of ex- amining companies and it seems to me now that for a substantial per- iod of time reasonable outside rep resentation of other states must be accepted as a matter of policy. It is too early to state whether such a plan is more advantageous than the old plan which left the com plete responsibility to the state in which the company examined was domiciled, but 8 few more years of experience with 1t will indicate to us what further declarations of policy should be made in connec- ton witht his question. It is one on which, at present, perhaps the most satisfactory attitude to take is one of inquiry plus a diplomatic accept- ance of the various points of view. We have recently completed study of the so-called mortality table done

CITIES TO FACE
 RELIEF CRISIS
Burden Lighter in May; Lay-Off Expected By
 WPA Next Month

A drop in Waterbury's relief load during the month of June is reported by State Welfare Commissioner Rob- ert J. Smith following the monthly survey of the relief situation in the states five largest cities.
 The relief load in Waterbury, New Haven. Hartford, Bridgeport and New Britain was 5.6 per cent less than in May, and was l05 per cent smaller than jn June, 1888. However. relief expenditures in the five cities showed an increase, being 1.9 per cent higher than in May and "A per cent higher than in June in 1888.
 The increase in expenditures over May is largely explained by the fact that there were five relief distribu- ton days in June, as compared with four the previous month. Officials, however, were not able to explain the increase over June of last year.
 Obligations incurred in relief in Waterbury last month were $23, ,359. This compares with a total of $73, ,057 for New Haven, $60,149 for Bridge port, $60,000 for Hartford, and $14,- 438 for New Britain.
 Hartford had the largest number of new cases reported during June, but also the largest number closed. Waterbury was well down on the list in number of new cases.
 All the cities of the state face a possible relief emergency at the end of August, when as a result of 8 law passed recently by congress, all WPA employees who have been on the rolls
