Explains Design on
This Years Christmas Seals

One of the early purchasers OF
the 1889 Christmas Seals wrote q
letter to Mrs. Timothy Miller Local
Seal Sale chairman.
81 understand that is the head OF
an angel on this years attractive
seal, she wrote. However, il
doesn't look very much like an angel
to me-"
The letter was referred to Rock
we'll Kent, noted artist who de-
signed this years seal Replied Mr..
Kent, Have you ever seen an
angelo"
The colors in the 1899 Christmas
Seal are unusually brilliant. Red
and blue are primary colors with a
curiously opposite attraction Men
like blue and women like red.
Advertising men know that. Sci
entific tests have revealed that men
are more frequently attracted by a
window or advertising display law
ish in blue. And a performance
of red catches theJeye of the women.
That's one psychological reason
why the 1899 Christmas Seals are
alluring to both men and women.
according to Mrs. Miller, Seal Sale
chairman. This years seal has a
deep blue background. That's for
the men. And then there's the dou-
ble-barred cross, and the angel
etched in red That's for the
women.
And the composite-"Well, the
whole scheme is to help fight tu-
berculosis," said Mrs. Miller.

RULES FEE is 5000.

Attorney General H. ]. Freebourn
has ruled that the state liquor law
sets the price of retail bar licenses
at $500 for operators in villages and
towns of less than 1000 population.
The opinion interpreted the state
law as not requiring operators in
such localities to purchase 5000 Ii
censes even if their establishments
are within five miles of a city of
10000 or more. The ruling was
made in the case of East Helena,
but is believed to have been in

at Butte, where bar operators in

suit against the liquor board for
