Al Show And Sole
In Billinqs

Montana SorenSon of Hardin
exhibited the best calf from Big
Horn county at the Junior Live
stock show and sale held in Bill
lings last week. Her entry placed
in the top choice group.
Most other calves from the
county were judged to be in the
good market classes, and the
sale prices averaged a little
more than eleven cents per
pound.
Lambs and pigs exhibited by
local boys and girls brought a
better price than was generally
paid for the calves.
A total of 81 head of livestock
was shown.
The quality of the livestock at
the Billings show was above
average, according to the judges.
At the Big Horn county show,
held at the fairgrounds in Har-
din before the exhibit at Bill

Montana Sorenson and West

executive committee of Hardin
Post No. 8 of the American L.
gion held Monday evening in
the community room of the
court house.
In regard to the lighted field,
Carl Sloan, as representative of
the REA, addressed the group.
MIR. Sloan stated the REA has
enough copper wire, poles and
other material and money to
make the installation. It would
be necessary, he pointed out,
to have the REA engineer de-
sign the job, estimate the cost
of labor and material and sub
NIT the project to Washington,
asking for a work order. It takes
about go days to obtain such an
order.
When this order is received,
the local REA would be ready to
proceed with the work, If Post

project. This sponsorship would
involve guaranteeing the pay
ment of charges for electricity
consumed and sponsoring the
planning and development of
the field, including the building
of fences, the seating arrange
ments, and 50 forth.
The REA would remain the
owner of the electrical installa-
ton, Mr.. Sloan said.
It was pointed out that the
tract of land previously consid-
cred for the field is not large
enough for a football and soft
ball field, but it was thought
additional land might be easily
obtained.
Mr.. Sloan offered to obtain
the necessary Information and
initiate the required procedure.
It was decided to ask Mr..
Sloan to get all the required
information, so that the lighted
athletic field might be further
considered. Roy o. Chambers
and v. I. Morris were appointed
members of the committee to
which the report is to be made,
and E. o. Preston, E. L. Jacob
son, and Willard j. Scott were
made members of a committee
to consult with the Board OF
Trustees of School District 17-H
and other school authorities
concerning the location of the
proposed field and the securi-
ing of necessary additional land.
The matter of uniforms for
the high school band was then
brough before the group by E.
L. Jacobson. Mr.. Jacobson ex-
planned that when Thomas D.
Campbell spoke before the high
school students recently, he
noted the lack of band uniforms
and offered to contribute $10C
to a fund to buy costumes If
some organization would spon-
sor a drive for this purpose.
Since Mr.. Campbell was to
leave in a short time, immediate

When the gas blast comes from

how tight the piston's compression

Another gage is made by taking
a heavy piece of steel, boring a hole
IN it and welding over the hole a
lighter piece of steel. The pressure
from the blast will dent the lighter
piece, which has been connected
with electrical wires which record
the change in resistance on a

Still another gage employs the
piston technique, but it is a lazy

pushed inward by a blast it makes
a scratched record on a plate and
the evidence is available half an
hour later, or next day, or any time.

Bids Asked on Oil Barges
To Be Made OF Concrete

BY the Associated Press.
Approximately rs contractors were
invited by the Maritime Commission
Yesterday to submit proposals for
the construction of reinforced con-
crete barges suitable for the trans
portation of oil.
While the commission did not in
dicate how many of the barges
might be built, Chairman Emory s.
Land has suggested the construction
of about 100.
Specifications to be submitted with
the proposals are for barges not
more than $50 feet in length, with
a draft when fully loaded not in
excess of 281a feet. The capacity of
the barges desired is between 5000
and 5000 long tons. They would not
be self-prppelling.
The request for proposals resulted
from conference recently held with
about DO cement construction Of
ficials and experts to determine the
feasibility of a barge-building pro-
gram. Proposals will be received un-
til September 80, and the commits
sion hopes to have the first barges
completed and ready for service
early in 1912.
The decision to construct concrete
barges, the commission said, was
reached only after it had been de-
termined that the expanding ship
construction program will utilize vir.
tually all the shipbuilding steel that
c~'r1d be made available.

Senate debate on the s3672 ,400. 900
tax bill. set to begin Wednesday
probably will center around three
major issues, according to advance
indications at the Capitol yesterday.
They are:
l. Opposition to lowering the in
dividual income exemption from
$4,000 to $500 for married couples
and from $500 to $3.50 for single per-
sons.
2. A fight by Senators from the
eight community property States to
eliminate the committee amend
ment designed to place income tax
returns in those States on the same
basis as elsewhere.
3. Possibility that advocates of
more liberal old-age pensions may
revive the Downey plan. which. the
Finance Committee refused to con-
slider as relevant to the tax bill.
The fight against lower exemp-
tions, which would bring 1000 1000
persons in the low-wage groups into
the taxpaying class, and increase
other returns all along the line, may
be coupled with an alternative pro-
poSal to boost the excess profits

move would muster a substantial

North Carolina During Firing Tests.
The Navy is making exhaustive
tests on the guns of the new battle
ship North Carolina, and the most
intricate and interesting of them
are being conducted by men from
the David Taylor Model Testing
Basin at Carderock, Md, just north
west of Washington on the Great
Falls road.
Engineers from Carderock are
testing the effects of the firing on
the ship itself while the North
Carolina's officers are trying to see
what the guns could do to another
ship. The Carderock engineers have
an aggregation of devices which look
like something out of merger Of
the Rube Goldberg and Walt Disney
machine shops. Yet every one of
them tells a scientific story, and an
accurate one.
Generally speaking, the effect of
gas pressure from the guns and of
recoil shock on the ships structure
are being tested. When a 16-inch
gun fires a man would not have to
be in front of it to be killed. If he
