GASLESS SUNDAYS
HINTED TO HELP
CONSERVE OIL
OIL MEN TO MEET EMERGENCY
WHICH is SEVERE ON EAST
COAST

Rigid restrictions on the use Of oil
including "gasless Sundays" were sug-
gested by a committee Of the petro-
leum industry, in the face of an acute
shortage expected by July 1.
In a report to Secretary Ickes, de-
tense petroleum co-ordinator, the oil
men pledged their support Ito any
extent" to meet the anticipated emer-
gency, and thus ward off menace
to the preparedness drive.
The shortage is expected on the
eastern seaboard, hub of defense pro-
duction. It results from the transfer
to British service of so Of the approx
mate $50 tankers of Americas coast
wise fleet and the expected transfer
of others.
There will be sinkings and we viii
have to replace Them" Ickes told the
oil men as the report was being read
to him.
The committee, formed by the Amer
lean Petroleum institute at the request
of the office of production manage
ment, suggested that temperatures Of
homes heated by oil could be lowered
during winter. A general reduction, of
five degrees throughout the nation,
it added, would effect a 10 percent
saving in fuel.
Also, the report added, many fur
naces now using oil might be converted
to coal.
ANY restriction that may be neces-
sary by reason of national defense
should be shared equitably by the en-
tire western hemisphere, or at least
by all of the United States" the re-
port asserted.
The committee said that the east
should not carry the full burden, but
that the entire nation should enter
q period of restriction, to assure ade-
quate oil supplies for essential uses.
Both the oil men and IckeS urged
that oil pipeline be run from Louisiana
and Texas to the New York Pennsyl-
Vania area, to deliver petroleum to
the east.
The report said that a 24-inch line
would move as much oil as IS ship
yankers. It would cost $4,000, 900, and
would require IL to is months to build.

Montana, like every other west
ern mining state, has a long list
of vanished towns. A history Of the
state published In the early eighties
purports TO give the names Of
"every village, settlement and city
An the territory" The list contains
many names that are now only a
memory and a few that are not
even that. Among the latter are
Yarn Hill, which was rated at 100
population; Ulidia, at 48; Timber
land Of Butte, 11S; Trapper, 22S;
Hasmark, SO; Hoover City, 80, and
Kan Kan, Al.
There are men who have lived IN
Montana for so years who have never
heard Of these places and yet these
settlements occupied an important
place in the development of the state
before the quartz miner and the cow
DR.. G. S. Whitford was reared in
Montana. He saw it develop from q
few placer diggings into one Of the
greatest states in the American union
Ia the matter of area, wealth, produc-
ton and natural resources. He lived
IA. or accompanied his father on his
professional visits to practically every
mining camp in the territory IN the
sixties. and has fund of "reminiscences.
Among the earliest towns in Mon
fana was Nevada City. 1t was at the
height of its fame during 1863-64.
Thousands of tenderfeet were wildly
filing on claims and as these claims
were very shallow-in many instances
the bedrock was only few feet below
was not long before thousands were
in possession Of well-filled pokes Of
clean, yellow gold.
Miners Were Reckless
This sudden rise from poverty to
riches put the miners in a state OF
wild recklessness that bordered on
frenzy. The saloons were crowded all
night and the games Of chance, faro,
stud and draw poker, keno, 81, and the
roulette wheel, with the sky the limit,
caused many a struggle and fight for
a chance to play. These honest and I'M
sophisticated fellows soon fell victims
to the slick fingered cardsharp. They
took their losses with little regret
knowing there was plenty more gold
left in their claims, since everyone In
those days imagined the supply was
inexhaustible.
Old Nevada Citys turbulent and
amazing life, when thousands of seeth-
ing. struggling and mOney-mad human
beings of every nationality and country
on earth, swarmed its single street day
and night, was probably without paral-
lei on the continent.
A few old-time personalities who
have all gone over the Great Divide
were DR.. Ford, one-time postmaster of
Butte: Alex Metzel, who owned
butcher shop in Nevada City; Ezra AL
derman and Hank Palmer, proprietors
of the Adelphs saloon and billiard
hall; Joe Tigert, race horse man and
gambler; DR.. Smith, physician, and
Billy Patten, barkeeper at McBurney
house, in Deer Lodge, in the seventies.
A Mr.. Richmond, many years ago,
met his death in a most unusual and

same as during the year ending next
June 80, on the basis Of reports to
the house appropriations committee by
the social security officials.
Including the uniform allotment Of
$4,000 to each state, Montana's 1912
grant for maternal and child health
services was estimated by the depart
ment at $13,018, exclusive Of funds
apportioned on the basis of each states
financial needs after the state has
submitted its plans for services for
federal approval. The current year al
lotment, exclusive Of s27,O65 allotted
after the state plan was submitted

For services to crippled children, the
department estimated Montana's al
lotment for next year at 1855, ex-
elusive of the annual allotment to be
determined after the state has sub
mitted its own plans based on the
number of crippled children and the
cost of furnishing them service. The
current year allotment, exclusive OF
$1O671 from the latter apportionment,
was $4,000.
For child welfare services, Montana's
1912 allotment was estimated at $15,861.

SCHOOLS RESPOND
TO DEFENSE NEED

Responding to the defense emergency,
the nations vocational schools are
pouring more than 100000 trained
workers into industry during the 194O-
Al school year. This is in contrast
with the first World war, when the
newborn vocational school system could
train only 10000 men in year and
half, according to study by North
western National Life Insurance Co.
A million Of the new trainees are
"privates" for the industrial army
products of "quickie" training courses
Of six weeks or more, under the emer-
gency training program begun last
July. Most of them are trained for a
single operation in mass production,
and need skilled supervision.

arrived in full force. Sonny went out
to meet them. Carol, watching, was

The instruments were piled around

on her frock the orchids which Corey
had brought. Dick caught Carols
eye and raised his glass in a silent
toast to the redhaired girl and her
first party.

COLORED MAN SUCCUMBS
ON PASSENGER TRAIN

Boyle Kirkland, colored, of 1902
Golf Street, Norfolk, suffered cere-
bral hemorrhage aboard the late
Pennsylvania railroad train last week
and died just as the train reached
Exmore, Va.
According to report, Kirkland, Sc
years old, boarded the train, trans
ferring from the steamer. He was
accompanied by his brother, Earl,
who was taking him to his home at
83 Atlantic street, Jersey City. Short
ly after boarding the train Boyle be-
came ill and trainmen phoned ahead
to Exmore to have a physician meet
the train. DR.. Joe E. Gladstone ex-
amined the man while the train was
held at Exmore, but the negro died
within a few minutes.
The body was removed to an Onley
funeral home and lated taken to Jer-
sey City for burial.

each evening she would rush over to
the apartment to look at what had
been delivered.
The caretaker found her a maid,
Octavia, from Harlem, who worship
ped Sonny from the start. Together
they arranged the new furniture to
what they considered it's best adj
vantages.
Sonny refused to see anybody until
her apartment was finished. Dick
told her via phone that he had not
been able to reach Kirk, but Sonny
stood firm on her plans. "You must
come to my housewarming, Dick.
I'll let you know the date"
AL Corey, the orchestra leader she
had met with Alex, telephoned her
twice before she moved from the hotel.
She invited him and his whole band
to her housewarming, and he accept
ed with alacrity, adding: Make it
for a Monday night. We're off
then"
Next Monday" she promised.
The big day arrived. Together
she and Octavia prepared a buffet
supper, and kept busy all day get
ting everything ready. The guests
were to come at five for cocktails.
Sonny had told AL to have his band
bring their girls. Alex was coming,
and so was Dick.
Promptly at five Sonny was ready
in a long white frock; one Ann had
chosen for their vacation. She look
ed lovely. Restless, she sat down at
the window to wait, but she could
not look at the view across the riv-
er toward Jersey. She had eyes for
nothing but her apartment. 1t was
what she had always wanted.
Dick was about to leave his office
to get ready for the party when
Carol Hollister arrived unexpectedly.

Dick explained: ITO tell you the

Carol answered on an impulse: "I'd

"Ill call her." Dick turned back
to his desk.
"Let me talk to her. l like the
girl, you know"
When Carol spoke, Sonny was
thrilled: please, please come. I'm
going to be short of girls, and be-
sides, I'd be so glad to have you see
the apartment. Hurry! Nobody's
here yet and Pm just crazy sitting
here waiting!"
81 hope it's air-conditioned," Carol
said when she hung up. "The heats
terrific"
Dick said: 1--WE won't stay late,
but it might be fun. She's invited
Corey and his whole band!"
"Swell!" exclaimed Carol.
Half an hour later they arrived
at Sonny's apartment. Carol and
Dick will never forget their entrance.
Sonny met them at the door, kissed
Carol enthusiastically, and led them
into the large living-room with:
Here it isl"
There was moment of awful sill
ence. Never in her life had Carol
seen so much merchandise in one
room. There were deep chairs, a
Spanish shawl over the piano, tap
estries on the wall, pictures, vases,
wicker furniture at the window, deep
rugs, gadgets, tall lamps, table lamps,
yards of draperies. 1t was a night
mare.
Carol finally recovered her voice.
"It's marvellous, darling" Tactful-
ly she went straight to the wide win
dows, saying: 81 had forgotten how
lovely the Hudson isl"
Dick added his conservative praise.
He felt sorry for Sonny.

"Why, he thought you were going

"Well, Pm not! All my life I've
been pushed around by somebody.

Dick felt that he had moderated
this young woman's acuteness. He'd
try to reach Kirk by wireless later
in the day. Her guardian might be
able to influence her.
Dick left Sonny after making a
dinner date with her. He spent the
afternoon trying to reach Kirk with
out success. That night at dinner
Sonny was on her good behavior. She
said not word about the apartment
and Dick hoped that she had given
up the idea. Later he smiled at his
own naivete. He should have known
better.
That afternoon, Sonny had found

The terror in AIMS eyes was plain.
Don't worry" Sonny's voice was
bitter. "I'll pay the rent here until
you make other plans"
No more was said until the por-
tiers came and took the baggage
When they had gone, Sonny turned
to Ann: "I'll communicate with you
through Dick. I guess that's ALL"
Don't go like this, Sonny"
"I'm sure Kirk would not want
me to stay under the circumstances.

the first thing which came into her
head. When they had left the apart
ment behind, Sonny tapped on the
window, and said: DRIVER, take me

quiet and respectable place."
Sonny awakened about IL in her
new hotel apartment overlooking Cen
trail Park. For a moment she could
not remember where she was. Then
she sat bolt upright, reached for the
phone, and put in a call for Kirk,
but he was out on the Avriell yacht
for few days. She felt let down
