pidity that leads to divorce oftener
than vice you will find it in this
letter, and it describes situation
that is typical of thousands of others
who are also on their way to Reno.
This wife knows exactly what she
is doing that alienates her husbands S
affections from her; that makes him
cross and surly and their home a
place of discord and strife. But be-
cause she is determined to dominate
him and tyrannize over him she
won't deny herself the pleasure of
nagging him.
The husband knows that the rea-
son his wife is peevish and fretful,
fault-finding and slack in her
housekeeping is because she is avid
for praise and to be made much
over. She wants him to make love
to her, tell her how beautiful she is.
how superior to other women and
how he likes to be seen out with her.
If he would only just jolly her along
she would break her neck to please
him and the dove of peace would
roost on their doorstep. But he won't
take the trouble to apply the soft
soap where it will do the most good.
But the husband and wife know
that continual friction in the house
hold cannot 60 on forever, and that
if they keep on antagonizing each
other and making their home hell
on earth the time will come when
they will break it up. They know
that divorce is not cure-all for an
unhappy marriage. They know that
it means scandal and enmities; that
it means grudgingly paid alimony;
that it means separating father
from his children and disrupting the
lives of the children: and vet they
bring all of this trouble on them
selves because they will not use a
few simple preventive measures. Can
human stupidity go further?

Silver Fox in All
Prices Available.
Due, they tell us, to the increased
production of silver foxes, there are
now skins available in almost every
price range. If you will notice, sill
yer fox is not the rare and luxurious
possession it once was, but it still
remains beautiful and desired fox.
Really exquisite silver fox coats are
not inexpensive, and they tell us
that the presence of cheaper ones
on the market only serves to make
the designers more interested in
doing lavish things with the better
ones. The experts point out that it
still costs S22 a year to feed the
animals and that the cost of skilled
workmanship has not come down, so
we may still place silver fox in the
luxury class whether it be a coat,
jacket or scarf. The evening pic
ture, by the way, shows the trend
to be away from ermine and more
toward sable, stone marten and mink
all furs that serve double duty for
daytime, too.
When you go to buy your fur
coat this year try to keep these
few general points in mind and ask
yourself such mental questions as:
How much do I want to pay? This
will automatically disqualify certain
furs, but don't set too definite
price, for very often few dollars
over the limit will give you count
less extra value in quality and dura-
bility.
How much will use my coat? If
it must be worn day and night all
winter long, you will want something
that will not be too fragile and
perishable.
What type of fur is suited to me?
Woe to the lady who weighs close
to 200-but simply must have a
long-haired swagger coat! Con-
slider weight, height, coloring and
age
How often can I buy a coat? The
answer to this will also be the
answer to the style of coat, for if
new one is not within your reach
every year, you'll do we'll to avoid
high styles and cling more closely
to conservative models. you're

Is this dealer reputable and sin

durability of the fur. Try to famil-

You'll assist yourself and the dealer.

Dorothy Dix Says
Many Divorces Can Be Prevented;
Common Sense Needed by Both

People take divorce casually now
adays when they seem to think that
how marriage turns out is some
thing for which they are as little
responsible as they are for the
weather, but surely the most frivol-
ous-minded man and woman cannot
but regard the breaking up of a
home as a catastrophe.
So many disappointments and dis
illusions went into the tragedy; so
many tears and heartaches: the
happiness and the well-being of so
many little children are buried in
the ruins of the houses that their
fathers and mothers pulled down
upon them.
One of these women, and she has
innumerable sisters, writes me:
John and I have been married for
eight years. We have three beauti-
full children. Have lovely home
and are comfortable and we'll off
everything to make us happy, but
somehow we have gotten on each
others nerves and I fear that our
marriage is going to end in divorce
before long. We quarrel over every
thing and nothing.
He claims that I nag him, when
I am only trying to lift him up to
my level because have had a better
education and better social ad-
vantages than he had; that I am
trying to boss him when I insist
upon his coming home for dinner
and never going out without me- He
criticizes my cooking because it isn't
as good as his mothers. He never
pays me any compliments or tells
me that he loves me, and feel that
I cannot stand this much longer,
even though he has no bad faults
and is generous and kind and de-
voted father"

ward in new guiseS, and terrifcally
expensive furS come within the
reach of many more women now
than in former years. New ideas
are adapted by a fashion conscious
public, and, to the delight of manu-
facturers and retailers, women of
today have become educated to the
correct manner OF fur purchasing.
First and foremost, it's almost
sure to be brown fur season. We
say almost because the fashion ex-
pertS and StyllStS are predicting it
and the shops showing many brown
furs, but we reserve judgment be-
cause the final test lies with you
the purchaser. However, we will
take our chances on the fact that
more brown will be worn this year
Shan at any time in the recent
past. It's going to share honors
with black-and may even surpass
1t. In every price range, brown is
fashion note. Starting with the
really luxurious ones such as sable
Ind mink, we can go right on down
the line to include stone martens,
fitch, safari brown seals, Sheared
beaver and the more moderate priced
furS including mink dyed muskrat,
sable dyed squirrel, Jap mink, sable
dyed muSkrat and marmot and las
kin mouton. The latter, incidentally,
is great faVorite among college girls,
for it is a light weight procesSed
lambSkin, rather inexpensive Brown
is favorite because it is an adapt
able color which may be worn with
nearly any accessories and because
brown seems to be full of life and
sparkle.
Black Still Remains
A Prime FavOrite.
However, say what you will, black
will still be a great favorite, chiefly
because Persian lamb makes it so.
Somehow to the fashionable woman
a Persian lamb coat is always smart,
always good looking and in the best
of taste. According to fur buyers,
this year Persian is of better grade,
finer looking and even lower in price,
so you can't go wrong on that selec-
ton. Black caracul seems to be
soaring in Importance, too, and some
of the styles we've seen in the
fitted silhouette can't be surpassed
for fashion interest. Skunk, which
seemed to spring up suddenly a few
years ago, is still best seller in all
lengths, from chubby Jackets to full
length types with perfectly lovely
skins. Seal, of course, is always
good. These, among the black furs
are the leaders, and for real smart
ness and quality they're hard to beat.
The gray furs, while popular, have
never come up to black and brown
and obviously will not do so this
year. However, there is kidskin in
some of the best styles. gray Per-
sian, caracul, dyed squirrel and a
few others. In the sport coats and
especially as jackets, with richly
colored suits, gray furs are used

fined copper was 121,854 tons dur
ing December, the highest produc-
ton on record abroad. The stocks
of refined copper abroad were in
creased during December by 1880
tons, which was the largest increase
for any month since December of
1887. The total stocks of refined
copper on hand abroad were 167,413
tons at the end of the year, which,
while the highest since last August,
constitute a supply equivalent to
only one and one-half months
needs, since foreign deliveries in
December were 1887 tons.
On the other hand, the 289, IT'S
tons of stocks on hand in the United
States are sufficient on the basis Of
December deliveries of 1888 tons to
last for more than seven months
and on the basis of new sales in
December of 15,345 tons this supply
would last for nearly 20 months.

nent of popular Bob Cummings in
a special event. There will be three
other high class bouts,
When referee Al Lee made a pass
at Bob Cummings recently, he put
himself on the spot because Cum
mings Immediately challenged him
to get in the ring with him. Lee
accepted the challenge and being
rather hot tempered himself, also
expressed his willingness to engage
in combat. The event will be Lees
first experience in a ring against
such a clever wrestler as Cummings
and the fans are wondering just how
good Lee really is.
Another newcomer is Tovio

east side Of Butte, who has proved
himself capable on many other
occasions to take care of himself. He

Tovio meets a tough wrestler in

OPEN LETTER TO PRES.
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT
Continued from Page u

A. F. L., one from the independent
fabricators, one from the major
mine owners, and one disinterested
party to be chairman.
Now, Mr.. President, the major
mining companies, especially the Big
Four-A. c. NJ. Co., Kennecotte Cop
per Co, Philips and Dodge, and the
American Smelling and Refining
Companies-will tell you they have
a production control agreement
among themselves, which is true,
but it is for only two purposes: First
to control the market price of met
ais, Second, to control the wages
of their workers which goes up or
down according to the price of the
metals. A recent example of their
wage and hour policy is as follows:
Under the Wage and Hour Bill it
was not feasible to work three IN
tinuous eight-hour shifts within the
twenty-four hours per day at forty
four hours a week so they cut us
from forty-eight to forty-four hours
per week but also cut our pay one
sixth. It was lawful because we
work on a days pay rate. When we
complained they gave us a counter
proposal to go back to forty-eight
hours per week with time and one
half for overtime for the last four
hours of the week. In other words,
they asked us to sell the Wage and
Hour Bill down the river for what
would be $1.14 per week mor than
we were getting for f~orty-eight
hours previous to the enactment of
the Wage and Hour Bill.
Now if we get hardboiled or pug
nacious they will lock US out and
proceed to fabricate out of their
surplus and bonded foreign metals
which they bring a great deal of
into our country. Then let Uncle
Sam feed us, their employees.
So in conclusion, Mr.. President,
we beg of you to urge Congress that
such a control board should be set
up and then there would be some
justification of cutting relief in the
mining districts.
Montana labor news., 1939-01-19

The production of refined copper
in the United States during Deem
Der, 67,947 tons, was the highest
since January, 1888, while the de-
liveries made during that month,
$685., were the lowest for any
month since last June.
The domestic sales of copper dur
ing December were only 15,345 tons,
the lowest for any month during
the last four years with the single
exception of November, 1888, when
domestic sales were 1884 tons. The
previous low point for sales during
any month was reached in May,
1886, when the sales of copper in
this country amounted to 1G.303 tons.
Deliveries and Sales
Copper is not generally delivered
when sold. Orders usually are placed
for deliveries in the future. Thus the
deliveries made in December consti-
tute the sales made during previous
months, while sales made in De-
cember constitute the orders given
for the purchase during that month,
but to be delivered in the future.
The December increase in do
nestle stocks of refined copper, TO-
267 tons, was the largest increase
made during any month since Feb
ruary, 1888.
The total stocks of refined copper
on hand at the end of December,
289, IT'S tons, has brought the copper
surplus in this country up from the
comparatively low point of 99,576
tons in April, 1887.
