stood in the hall 10 serve as a nat
rack, and TO me thew stil look
completely inadequate Why were
these two pieces Of furniture ever
ruled out Of fashion in the first
place. when one was so useful and
the other so comfortable?

SLIPS THAT
REALLY FIT

Also interesting in collections of
new lingerie are slips designed TO
fit different types of figures.
There are bra-top types for nor
NAL figures; some with diaphragm
bands for mature figures and
many Empire styles for small
women. The first eliminates the
necessity for brassiere. The
second-with fullness above the
diaphragm band solves many of
the mature figures problems. The
third does away with wrinkles
and bulkiness which are likely to
appear in an untitled slip when
worn by small figure.
One of the incest slips comes in
black or white satin with inserts
of net TO match. The satin forms

There is a growing demand in the
west that calls for a rewriting of
the federal securities law so that
private capital may again open new
mines. The federal securities law
was written hurriedly at a time
when the nation demanded an end
to the criminal manipulation on the
New York Stock Exchange. The
Washington administration, know
ing little about our western needs
of the system of financing that
formerly brot prosperity to the west,
very foolishly had congress write
law that prevented a continuance
of the system. The SEC has been
unfairly criticized for the failure
of the securities law to work. Con-
gress wrote the law and is respon-
sible. The law should stop ques-
tionable companies, and encourage
honest ventures. The stock of only
one mining company was effectively
registered in the entire United
States in the month of May, says
the SEC report for that month just
issued.
Western congressman have been

west would no longer be penalized
for the crimes of high finance.
The securities and exchange com
mission in Washington has express
sed itself agreeable to consider
complaints against the securities
law of 1888, but it's chairman
would postpone action until Feb
ruary 1941. His proposal will
simply prolong the hard times in
the west. The part of the law that

dition that small western mining
men are hopeful will be changed as
soon as possible. The law as writ
ten to prevent companies from US
ing modern sales advertising copy
has in reality stopped practically
all western financing of new mining
ventures.

KENNECOTT CUTS
PRICE Of COPPER
IN NAVY CONTRACT

NEW YORK-A shaky domestic
copper market was jolted severely
Thursday when it was learned the
Kennecott Copper Corp. was low
bidder at 10 ga cents a pound on
100000 pounds of metal for the
navy.
1t was stated emphatically that
Kennecott's quotation to private
consumers would not be lowered
from the present 111a cents which
has been in effect for some time.
Metal circles said, however, that
such a substantial concession tend
ed to undermine confidence in the
price structure.
The immediate effect was to
make copper available in the out
side market at 1910 cents. Gus
tom smelters were said to have adj
hered to their 10 ga cent quota
tion. but some forecast a concession
from that figure might be had. Ex-
port metal was quiet at 1OA cents.

GAIN Of MILLION
In GLACIER COUNTY

CUT BANK-The assessed valu-
alton of Glacier county has ad-
vanced $1,19S,994 over last year
and is now listed at $15,198,991,
the taxable valuation being $6,124.-
49, or a gain of $562,19S over a
year ago
Net proceeds advanced about
S3OO,OO0 due mainly to better mar
keting and increased drilling in
the oil fields. Lands and improve
ments showed a decline, probably
due to the taking of much land
on the reservation by the govern
ment and also the taking of county
tax deeds by the county.

Exhausted OIL
FIELD IS Revived
BY RE-PRESSURE

Folks who fear exhaustion oil
this cOuntry's oil supply because il
might mean combining the family
car to the garage on week-ends for
lack of gasoline would find relief
from worries If they could take a
look at what some oil men are do
ing with an old oil field near
Walters, Okla.
The field, discovered in 1917,
produced heavily for several years.
Eventually the wells were put on
the pump and production gradually
declined Six years ago an oil
company decided to apply a method
of resuscitation known to the pet
roleum industry as representing.
Some $50 acres were taken over,
and 20 key wells were cleaned.
DECENTRALIZATION compressors were
installed, and gas was pumped into
the wells.
According to theory the gas
would penetrate the sands, strip
them of oil, and permit oil to be
produced at a declining rate. 1t
was estimated that the output
might go as high as $50 barrels
a day, then drop below 200.
Production has averaged soc bar
rels day for six years. While one
barrel of oil has been produced
for every 769 cubic feet. of gas in
jected, S5S cubic feet of gas have
been recovered for every barrel OF
oil produced! In one month of
1889 the wells, on theory, should
have produced only $3.50 barrels
of oil. Actual production was
nearly 10000 barrels greater.
The field is only one of many in
the United States which are being
represented and in which production
has been restored. Indications now
are that even if no new oil fields
we're discovered, the industry would
obtain large production by such
secondary recovery methods.

PROSPECTORS
SHOULD SEEK
MICA DEPOSIT

Despite years of research, no all
around substitute is yet in use for
mica, one of the vital war minerals
in which Uncle Sam was recently
reported to be deficient, says a
bulletin from the National Geo
graphic Society Invaluable objects
such as fuse boxes. telephones, air
plane spark plugs, electric light
sockets, magnetos and radio conden-
sers, mica dramatically proved its
qualities of resistance and flexibility
during the first world war. Ger
many. then deprived of her usual
supplies, especially felt the lack
of it.
Today, industrial United States IS
the largest consumer of this miner
al. SO great are the nations needs
that. altho it is also the world
largest producer the domestic
sources are insufficient. Additional
amounts therefore are normally inn
ported from abroad, chiefly from
British India and South Africa.
With the present worldwide wars
which have rendered foreign sourc-
es unstable, the long studied ques-
ton of possible substitutes for mica
in its chief electrical uses is again
receiving attention. So far no such
substitute has been commercially
launched, altho one or two promis-
ing competitive materials have been
developed in research laboratories.
An odd fact in connection with
this modern industrial mineral IS
that ancient aboriginal history In
dictates that it was the first min
eral to be mined in North America.
