Currens Spedks
To KiWdniuns

F. H. CurrenS of Billings, a
member of the Montana high
way patrol, was the guest
speaker at the regular Wednes-
day luncheon of the Kiwanis
club this week.
Mr.. Currens spoke on High
way Safety" Tom Stark, Big
Horn county patrolman, was
also a guest.
Highway safety has been at
various times presented by the
radio, the church pulpit, pam
phlets, and talks before various
clubs and associations" Mr..
Currens said, "but the general
method now in use is the pro-
gram called The Three E'S' by
the American Automobile asso-
citation.
1.-THE first OF the three Els is
Engineering. Through engineer
ing we build better highways
and safe automobiles, and the
use of road signs, which carry
messages with a forceful and
warning purpose also come I'M
der this heading.
1.-THE second is Education.
Here are employed the ramifi-
cations of churches, schools,
civic clubs and activities, educa-
tional programs, and the thea
tire. All are combined to bring
our factors in highway safety.
1.-THE third is Enforcement.
This division is mainly made
up of state highway patrols,
law enforcement bodies and
various minor groups. However
this section cannot fully do
the job of law enforcement I'M
less it receives cooperation
from the public.
every law on the statute
books pertaining to law enforce
ment is a common-sense law on
highway procedure and regula-
ton. The reason that each one
of these rules is classified as a
law is that disobeying such rules
has been found to be respon-
sible for an accident. Since
this is the case these rules
must be enforced to prevent
accidents"
Mr.. Currens read the rules
and regulations now prescribed
for proper highway safety, as
employed by the Montana high
way patrol. He also told the club
that new patrol cars in this
territory will be equipped with
Short-wave radio receivers.
The patrolman closed his ad-
dress by stating, Before the
organization of the Montana
highway patrol, annual death
rate on the highway starting
with the year 1884 was PA. The
patrol was formed in May, 1885,
and the toll that year was 161.
In 1886 it was 1865; 1887, ITS;
1888, las; and 1899, 149. The
record for Big Horn county is
as follows: 1885, 4; 1896, 4;
1887, 10; 1888, 4; 1889, l."
M. B. Boynton of Billings was
a guest of Kiwanian Homer
Scribner.

TWO NEW ANIMAL
DISEASES TREATED

Two new diseases, new to
Montana, were treated in cat
tie and sheep last month by
the state livestock sanitary
commission.
One, red water" is similar
to anemia, but much stronger.
Only a few cattle were killed by
this malady, and it was quickly
controlled.
The other ailment, "Johne's
disease" affects sheep intest-
inally. Affected animals were
killed and others in the af-
flicted herd were given medic
inal treatment.
Both diseases were checked
before losses were great and be-
fore large numbers of stock
were infected, DR.. w. J. Butler,
state veterinarian, said.

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR fertility
PROGRAM HERE
Chamber OF Commerce
To Serve Luncheon To
Those Who Inspect Soil
Train Here February IA.

Moving pictures, exhibits and
lectures will feature the soil
fertility train which is sched-
uled to stop at Hardin all day
Wednesday, February IA. Three
exhibit cars will constitute the
train, which will be spotted
near the Burlington depot and
will be open for inspection by
the public at 900 am.
One car has been prepared
by the Great Western Sugar
company and Holly Sugar cor
poration and will show exhibits
on the subjects of manure, le-
gumes, and rotations and their
relation to the maintenance
and addition to fertility of soils.
The second car, prepared by
the Anaconda Sales company,
will show soil formation and
plant food elements necessary
for crop production, and results
secured from treble super-phos-
phate when used on phosphate
deficient soils. It has become
an accepted fact that the soils
of irrigated valleys need the adj
dition of fertilizer, especially
barnyard manure, in order to
maintain a profitable produc-
ton of crops. These exhibits
should be of especial interest to
all farmers and business men in
the county.
The third car of the train will
have on display machinery and
equipment showing the recon-
mended methods of applying
fertilizer.
Competent persons will be in
charge of the exhibits to ex-
plain them in detail. Moving
pictures will also be displayed
in one of the cars.
The afternoon program held
in the community room of the
courthouse will consist of talks
by men experienced in the use
of fertilizer, including G.. H.
Bingham, irrigation specialist
of the Montana Extenson Ser
vice; Jack Maynard, agricultur-
al expert and an authority on
livestock feeding and the value
of barnyard manure applied to
soil, now associated with the
Great Western Sugar company
at Billings; and Jess Green, who
has devoted much time to the
study of the value of super
phosphate and who will discuss
methods of applying this fer
tilizer for best results.
The Big Horn County Cham
Der of Commerce will serve a
free lunch to all those who visit
the soil fertility train and who
attend the meeting in the after
noon. This lunch will be served
in the old Tribune : Herald
building at noon. All farmers
of the irrigated valleys of the
county are invited to attend the
program. Sponsoring ~organiza-
lions for the soil fertility pro-
gram are the Chicago, Burling-
ton g. Quincy Railroad, Holly
Sugar Corporation and the State
Extension Service.

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Ma tional defense has brain trust. Don't get the idea. though, that it's anything like the group that start ed the New Deal winging on its way.
 The national defense brain trust is composed entirely of laboratory magic dabblers and workshop genii. The official name of this gray mat ter corps is the National Inventors Council The chairman is Dr. Charles F. Kettering. There are 13 others in. the group. And theirs is the darndest job in the whole de- fense setup.
 If there is something that isn't on earth; if no one has ever thought of it before; even if no one knows whether it really ex- ists-but it's needed-it's up to the council to produce it.
 What we need,' says General Hopeful, lis a rocket torpedo that can be fired to height of about five miles, and will level off, chase down a bombing plane and blow it to splinters'
 And right away the inventors go to work.
 If we could just make air. planes out of plastics," says Gen. eral Wisher, and stamp them out at the rate of thousand a day"
 And another inventor, either on or under the direction of the coun- cil, starts retorts steaming and presses pressing.
