u consideration of the tremendous
weight of snow has determined the
architecture of houses in large part
of the world. Gabled, slanting roofs
have been dictated by the necessity
of providing surface off which snow
will slide; for fiat roofs, heavily laden
with snow, have collapsed countless
times.
A good idea of the enormous pres
sure exerted by snow can be gathered
from an incident that occurred in
1915 in Blue Canyon, California. A
succession of heavy SHOWS fell on the
railway station and the fence that
surrounded it. This fence, constructed
OF heavy steel supports, was weighted
with an accumulation of twenty-five
feet of snow. When the snow melted it
was found that the steel bars. each

kind, the early match was mixed

phosphorus, is deadly stuff, and match
making on a commercial scale imme-
diately introduced an acute health
problem. Workers by the hundreds
were poisoned. their bones rotting
away; labor conditions we're frightful,
and soon there came a revulsion OF
public sentiment.
At the same time the new match
was highly dangerous. Absorbing mois-

off spontaneously when least ex-

HUMANITY'S HALL OF FAME
He struck the first sofety motch

Many of the familiar and indis-
tensabie boons Of mankind hare been
gifts of men and won,en Who have
been all but forgotten. Another Of an
imboytant series of articles that tell
about these unsung heroes.
~arRANGE, isn't it, what social sig
nifcance, what inventive travail,
~ what industrial upheaval can
follow in the wake of such common
place thing as the match!
Today we take the safety match for
granted, perhaps because so many are
handed to us free over the cigar
counter. Yet the safety match is
much more recent invention than the
telegraph, the harvester. the sewing
machine or the screw propeller.
1t wasn't until 1874 that Professor
G. E. Pasch, of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Science, patented match
which couldn't be struck everywhere.
Omitting the phosphorus from the
match head. he applied it to strip of
sandpaper so that his product ignited
only from friction with this prepared
surface.
Pasch's idea defeated the match's
bewildering flair for going off of its
own accord for no reason at all, but it
was safe for another important reason.
Substituting red phosphorus for the
white or yellow varieties previously
used, he got non-toxic product free
from the hazard of necrosis (mortifca-
ton of the jawbone) associated with
the commercial handling of white
phosphorus matches.
But the safety match did not begin
to come into its own until 1855 when
Johan Edward Lundstrom, improving
on Pasch's raw materials, began manu-
featuring it in his factory at Jonkoping
on scale which soon made Sweden
famous as a match country.
But make no mistake. the history
of the match has been hectic. The
Romans had sulphur matches back in
the First Century, but these were
used as tinder. not as striking matches
such as we know. The first striking
match came into being somewhere
around 1927 and was probably one
of those simultaneous conceptions of a
number of minds. Germany claims
the honor for Kammerer; Hungary
says Irony invented the match; Amer
leans point to Massachusetts, citizen
named Phillips; England insists it was
John Walker; and France had so
much faith in the claim of DR.. Charles
Sauria that the Academy awarded him
a medal for it in 1881
To neutral observer. however, the
evidence tends to favor the English
druggist. Walker, whose account book
clearly shows that he was making and
selling ''lucifers" for 35 cents box in
the year 1927.

City has SO: and Little Bitter

The camps for girls at Red
Lodge and Lewistown have %
and 20 girls respectively.
The increase in enrolment,
Mr.. Love explained, is due part
ly to better training and edu-
cational facilities in the camps,
and partly to a heightened
awareness on the part of youth

No member of Congress got a better
understanding Of war than Garner.
Not only was he a member OF the
Ways and Means Committee active in
the framing Of laws for the four Lib.

he was also President Wilson's liaison
man between the White House and
the House of Representatives.
Twice a week he went to the White
House for long private conferences
with President Wilson. The President
sent him to confer with the British.
French and Belgium missions which
came to the United States to discuss
methods Of waging the war. Garner
had for many years been a member OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee Of the
House Of Representatives and . STU

In the writing Of the new neutrality
law it was he who insisted on every
safeguard to prevent involvement OF

Congress on September 81. there was
sort of fatalistic feeling that some

sooner or later, would get into a
Travellers returning from Europe
we're quoted in Eastern newspapers
as reporting that the most frequent
question asked Of Americans In Eng
land and France was How soon will
the United States Join us?"
Garner never issues statements to
the press. therefore his part in Great
ing the new psychology may not be
fully known to the country. But more
than forty senators visited the Vice
President on the first day he was In
Washington.
Here is what he said to them:
THE United States is not going into
this war. The people are determined
that we shall not get into it. We in
elective office have got to quit saying
that we hope this country can stay
out. We have got to start saying We
are going to stay out
He expressed that same feeling at
the White House later in the day
when Democratic and Republican
leaders met with President Roosevelt.
He expressed it again and again as
Senators and Representatives called
on him later. And in a few days the
Garner sentiment was being echoed
throughout Washington and it spread
to the country.
Garner voted for war in 1917. He
believed there was no way to stay
out and he still believes there was nc
way to stay out He insisted that hi:

Y YOUTHS MAKE
AIRPORT MARKERS

Under an agreement worked
out with the Civil AeronautlcS
Authority, NYA shops at Laurel
and at Fort Keough near Miles,
City will construct lanoing
markers for any Montana air
port that requests them, J. B.
Love, state youth admlnlstrat-
has announced.
The service is available to
all Montana airports, Mr.. Love
said. The only expense to tne
airport requesting markers WILL
be the cost of the ordinary
materials, supplies, and crat-
age that enter into such con-
struction work. The types OF
landing markers that can be
furnished are WindSockS, COR
.ner markers, and range ana
boundary cones.
The construction of landing
markers for airports is typlca!
of the work done for public and
semi-public agencies at NYA
resident training camps, Love
explained. NYA shops are for
the purpose of developing Vo-
cational skills in the enrollees.
The youths work four hours a
day at constructive labor, chos-
en- so that it will not conflict
or compete with private indus
try. The remaining four hours
they spend at training in the
same or related fields so as to
discover aptitudes and develop
existing skills.
A number of municipal air
ports in Montana that cannot
afford the proper landing
markers and wind direction in
dicators will be helped by NYA
construction of these articles
to make their fields safe, Love
said. All construction work done
by NYA youths is supervised
by experienced craftsmen.
Airport officials desiring the
markers are requested to get
in touch with the state NYA
office so that their needs may
be described and their orders
placed.

that the very day Board Mem

be called questionable pressure.
This man had a pin ball
machine in his sandwich shop.
