WPA VICTORY
seen Won BY
ROOSEVELT
Senate Margin of
4 Held Likely

OI IIlC 11CW NOAASAO COO VOAoJB 0SS S~AN
Senate neared its vote on the
pending relief measure, scheduled
for 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Predictions were freely made in
advance of the vote that on the
roll call a majority Of or 6 votes
would be recorded for the $875,
O0O, 900 appropriation asked by the
President to carry the WPA
through the remainder of the cur
rent fiscal year ending June 80
1899.
Ex-FOes for Bill
Opposition Senators, fighting to
cut the appropriation to $725,
100000, and supported in this pro
gram by the report of a majority
Of the appropriations committee,
all but abandoned hope Of win
ming their fight when Senator
Walsh Of Massachusetts, an
nounced that he would vote for
the larger sum.
Several Democratic Senators
who were opposed to the President
in. the last Congress, particularly
ON the Supreme Court and reor
ganization issues, had swung over
today to the President.
Governors and mayors and vel
fare officials throughout the
country meanwhile had kept up q
continuous bombardment by letter
and telegram in favor Of the larger
appropriation.
Walsh Heeds Mayors
Senator Walsh, who has been
critical of the New Deal and voted
against the President on many
measures during the last two
years, based his switch to support
Of the presidential program on
representations from Massachu-
sets mayors that the proposed
senatorial cut in the relief appro-
priation would cause wide suffer
ing.
Administration forces in the
Senate, thinking they were de-
feated up to two days ago, delib-
erately delayed a vote to permit
public opinion to work on opposi.
ton Senators. This strategy ap-
peared today to have accom-
plshed its purpose.
Curb on Politics
With the amount decided, the
Senate was expected to make quick
work of amendments to prohibit
WPA administrative personnel or
the millions Of relief enrollees
from participating in political cam
paigns.
AS the Senate started its fourth
day of debate on the amount OF
money to allot, advocates Of the
$725, ,O0O, 600 fund charged private

CABINET MEETS

CABINET MEETS
AS Prime Minister Chamberlain
and mainstay members of his cabi-
net met again in extraordinary
session to discuss the increasingly
dangerous European situation and
the fresh problems presented by
the fall of Barcelona, Lord STAN
hope wrote in the magazine Home
and Empire:
The scale Of naval expansion
now being undertaken is unpre-
dented in our peace-time history
-. including smaller craft, new
ships are coming along this year
at the rate Of more than one . +
week -"
'The more important ships
being built or projected include
seven battleships, 81 cruisers,
20 deStroyers, Is submarines,
and five aircraft carriers"
No other country, the first lord
pointed out, is engaged in such a
program of expansion.
In what appeared to observers
to be a carefully mapped, cabinet
approved campaign to let the con-
tinent know precisely where Brit
ain stands in the present precari-
GUS situation, Lord Stanhope pro-
claimed Britain's growing mari
time might only a day after an
other minister warned that no
aerial attack would daunt these
islands.
WARNING TO HITLER
Sir Samuel Hoare, home secre-
tary, said in a speech which many
felt was intended to take the edge
off Adolf Hitler's speech to the
German ReichStag Monday, that
an air attack would only make
Great Britain fight all the harder.

Meet Mr.. Rounds

Before school started, when the
girls of Libby High heard that there
was to be new male member o1
the faculty, they all earnestly hoped
and prayed that he'd be tall, dark
and handsome. Luckily they weren't
disappointed Our new principal
Royal Rounds, stands #. 2 in tai
and has brown hair and blue eyes
We can't help but wonder if this
didn't have something to do with
the increase in the number of girls
taking science this year.
Mr. Rounds stated that his favor
lite sports are baseball. football and
basketball. He played football ir
college, and judging from the stripes
on his sweater, he was pretty good
at it.
He listed sleeping as his pastime
When asked what he thought of this
school, Mr.. Rounds stated that il
was a very nice school, but thai
there could be more equipment in
the science laboratory.

Last Minute Score
Spells Victory

Unleashing sparkling passing
attack in the closing minutes of the
game, Libby pushed over touch
down from the one yard marker to
win the game from Thompson Falls
by a slim margin of a successful
point after touchdown 4r
Thompson Falls drew first blood
by scoring in the first quarter from
the two yard stripe on an off-tackle
plunge During the second and
third quarters the ball see-saWed
between both teams with most of
the play being in the middle of the
field With four minutes remain
ing in the fourth quarter Libby's
passes began clicking and they car
ried the ball from their own forty
yard line via this route to the two
yard line. Thompson Falls stiffened
their defense then and held the Ter
riers for three straight downs. On
the fourth down B. Seims drove
over for the score. A we'll ex-
ecuted pass from Seims to L. Spen-
Ger scored the extra point which re-
suited in the margin of victory In
the remaining seconds of the game
Thompson Falls threw passes in a
frantic attempt to score and the
final gun found them hammering
dangerously close to the Terrier
poal

to the screen the sweeping and en-
crossing semi-historical melodrama
of the immortal Alexander Dumas.
Rich in spectacle, unfaltering in the
rapidity of its action, touchinglv ro-
mantle and possessing most of the
other proven clemens of the best
in entertainment, here is one of
the most impressive pictures shown
in Hollywood this year
1t will be remembered that the
story is about Louis XIV of France
and his twin brother PHILIPPE, whom
he imprisoned in the Bastille with
an iron mask clamped over his head,
according to Dumas, keeping him
there until rescue by muskeeters
enabled him to supplant Louis as
king and marry Maria Theresa of
Spain in his stead.
For this production Mr. Small
has dipped back into the bag of
tricks he used for his sensational
Count of Monte Cristo.'

Is Rudeness Necessary?

Is politeness old fashioned? Is
the age of chivalry gone forever?
One would certainly think so, to
take our school as an example. New
corners to the school usually notice
that as school, we are terribly
rude. Perhaps we don't notice this
SO much ourselves because we have
been surrounded by this shameful
atmosphere for SO long. 1t takes
new students to show up our man
ners.
In this modern age of hurry and
rush, is it too much trouble, or does
IT take too much time, to say, Par
don me- when you crash heading
INTO someone in the hall2 Is there
any good excuse for whispering
during roll call or.for Wedging ones
feet in the aisle or across it. and
making anyone who may desire to
traverse the room. in constant dan
ger of tripping or sliding2 Anyone
who successfully goes from one end
Of the room to the other deserves
medal for high-jumping.
Or are we SO old fashioned that
we have slipped back to the customs
of that ancient age when the rule
Of self-preservation was mans only
definite law How often do we stop
to help some unfortunate person
recover possessions that he has
dropped under the trampling feet
of the mob do we ever relieve any
one of an immense load of books
when we have none ourselves2 How
many times can you remember of
having seen student bother to pick
up coat or hat lying on the hall
! floor if it didn't belong to him2
The worst of the Whole situation
is that we don't confine our rude
ness to school hours-and only, if
ever, practice our good manners I'M
der the Watchful eye of our fond
parents On the streets and in pub
lie gatherings bad manners are
painfully prevalent and it isn't al
ways the students that are setting
the bad example.
We know what's right-so lets
show what's right, students.
