Plane Crashes,
Gir|Estapes
23-Yeor-OId Pilot
Put Plane i'm Tree

Virginia Nieabolski, %, of
1922 Van Dyke, Detroit, mirac-
ulously escaped injury Sunday
at $40 a. m. when the light
plane she was plotting crashed
into a tree on MOT at Masonic
boulevard as she was trying to
land on Joy Airport across the
highway.
The right wing of the plane,
which struck the tree about cix
feet above the ground, was de-
molished. Miss Nieabolski, a
veteran pilot, was flying a Piper
cub owned by John Kinnally,
5236 LinWood, Detroit.
BY the time Deputy Sheriff
Steve Morris reached the scene,
Miss NieabolSki had left.

Stung by the fury of the at

in all The Reich, German filters
struck back last night at Brit
aims ancient Cathedral town of
Canterbury, sending over 25
planes in three waves.
Several h storic buildings
were wrecked (the fate of Can
terbury Cathedral itself was not
disclosed), but casualties were
reported unofficially as light.
Despite weather unfavorable
to a repetition of mass attacks
last night the British again sent
hurricanes and Boston bombers
over the channel in forays
against airdromes and rail lines
in northern France and Holland,
and other flights winged west
by daylight TO continue the bat
tering.
Of such magnitude was the
Cologne raid that only a master
work of organization, with the
bombers swarming over their
targets at six-second intervals,
made it possible.
Its paralyzing might was told
in astronomical figures:
Of three-fourths of Cologne

high pail Of smoke.

MOTHER SHIP BARE

MOTHER SHIP BARE
That the midget submarines
were launched from a parent
ship-probably somewhere in
the Coral Seasoned a virtu-
al certainty, for the tiny under
seacraft have only a very short
range and the nearest Japanese
land bases are approximately D.
600 miles to north of Sydney.
1t was recalled that the mid
get submarines which figured
in the Pearl Harbor attack were
designed to carry only two men
and had a range Of not more
than 800 miles. One of these
craft was captured intact at
Pearl Harbor and another was
reported sunk.
The raid on Sydney was the
first Japanese attack on a r'a-
jor Australian city, though sew
eral small communities in the
north, such as Darwin, have
been bombed from the air.
1t also was the first time that
belligerent warships of any n1.
tionality had attempted to enter
an Australian port since the
confederate raider Alabama
called here for water and pro-
visions during the American
war between the states.
The assistance given the Ala
bama prompted a strong protest
by President Lincoln's govern
mCnt.
During the first World War
the German merchant raider
Wolff laid mines off Australia

Farm, Prices Higher
Than in Last War

The federal bureau of agricultural
economics reported prices received by
Montana farmers on June Is averaged
80 percent higher than the level pre-
vailing before World war /.
The price index was "a points high
er than on June Is, 1941, but three
points lower than on May Is, due to
some declines in prices of grains,
dairy and miscellaneous products.
During the past month prices of
wheat, oats, barley, rye, hay and corn
were weaker in face of the generally
good crop prospects of 1912 and good
supplies of hay and grains carried
over from previous crop years, the re-
port said.
Except for milk, the dairy products
group was down slightly.
On the other hand, poultry and egg
prices and cattle prices were some
what higher, along with increased re-
turns from apples, potatoes, horses
and milk COWS. Prices of lambs, hogs,
beans and seed crops showed either
little or no change.

JEEP DESIGNER
GIVES ADVICE
ON GAS SAVING
MOTORIST COULD INCREASE HIS
MILEAGE 50 PERCENT BY
RIGHT PRACTICES

An army Jeep could travel from
New York to Los Angeles on the gaso-
line that could be saved by one driver
in year if he would follow the basic
rules of good driving and take proper
care Of his car.
This fact was revealed by the de-
signer of the Jeep, Delmar G. Roos,
as a result of tests made by the re-
search division of his company. Roos
recently published this information in
booklet entitled Ten Rules for
Wartime Driving"
The average motorist uses 696 gal
Ions of gasoline a year." he explained,
and he could increase his mileage
approximately so percent, or about
seven miles TO gallon. by having his
car kept in good condition and by fol-
lowing the rules of careful driving.
The average mileage used by the gov
eminent in establishing the recent
gasoline rationing plan is Is miles per
gallon. If, through proper care, a
driver could increase this average
mileage by seven miles per gallon, he
would have 232 gallons in the course
OF a year, while travelling the same
distance"
The iuel-saving tests were conduct
ed on the WHY'S proving grounds
where thousands of these diminutive
scout cars are being put through their
PAGES for use on battIefields through
out the world.
Some OF the facts on gasoline con-
servation brought out in the COM
panys tests are these:
l. A car with the spark set only
5 degrees too late" will use 476 per-
cent more gasoline than one with the
spark properly set.
2. A car losing compression due tc
leaky valves or cylinder gasket that
is too thick, uses 5.7l percent more
| gasoline than a car where compress.
SION is efficient.
3. A car that contains heavier oils
and greaSeS than are necessary fol
economical driving, uses from to
I percent more gasoline than a car il
which fabrication is kept according tt
the weather.
4. Cars with low tire pressure anc
wheels out of line, dragging brakes
and other similar hindrances to propel
operation, "eat up gasoline and pre-
vent securing the mileage that the
car is capable of giving.
5. Driving precautions that save ga!
include the following:
Do not use choke unnecessarily, es'
pecially in warm weather. Never rur
with the choke out. Do not leave the
engine running while parked. Do mo-
hold the car in second gear. Neve
drive over 40 miles an hour. Slow W
! for curves and coast tn StOnS at traffic
lights whenever possible. Above all
avoid sudden stops and starts.
Using these precautions and keep
ing the car in good running condition
with attention to properly adjusted
timing and efficient compression, pri
vate passenger cars will provide thei
owners with necessary driving unde,

STATES SURPLUS
AT RECORD HIGH
MAY RUN AS MUCH AS S2,250, 900
WHEN FINALLY DETERMINED
LATE IN MONTH

Montana has surplus of more than
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in its history.
The surplus, when finally deter
mined about July 81, may run as high
as $2,25O,OOO.
The surplus may be used as in
surance' against an expected slump
IN state tax collections next year, due
to wartime conditions, or perhaps for
retirement of outstanding state bonds
Just 10 years ago, at the end Of the
1882 fiscal year, Montana's floating
debt had reached peak of 1896, 846.
The legislature in 1888 refunded this
general fund debt by issuing bonds for
s4,237,OOO.
Only five fiscal years in the states
modern history have ended with sur
plus in the general fund. First surplus
OF the present century was in 1913
$4,000. The state then operated in
the red" until 1888, when the general
fund had a balance of $4,000
The surplus dropped slightly to
100000 at the close OF the 1899 fiscal
year, mounted to S404,O0O on June 80,
1941, then bounced up sharply to the
more than S2,OOO,0OO figure June 80 Of
this year.
The record surplus is due primarily
to:
l. Better current tax collections, due
to favorable crop conditions, combined
with heavy payments of delinquent
taxes.
2. Heavy production from mines and
forests of the state, which resulted in
greatly increased corporation license
tax payments.
3. Operating economies effected by
state departments and institutions.

Thirst for POlUer
By Germany Is Held
Responsible for War

Thirst for military power is the real
reason for the present World war, as
for the last one" Walter Hitler, native
of Switzerland, declared recently at
Livingston.
Hitler, economist and industrial en-
gineer in Europe for many years. re-
Gently purchased a ranch in the upper
Yellowstone valley and now is a resi-
dent of Park county.
German ambition will mot be over
come until Germany has suffered a
real defeat, one which has been felt
BY all" he declared. The war aim of
the Germans is not TO secure raw
materials, because Germany always
has been able TO secure such mate
rials, he said.
Misplaced humanitarianism, chiefly
on the part OF Americans, after the
last war enabled German leaders TO
deceive their own people and TO pre-
pare for the present struggle, Hitler
said. Whether 4 kaiser, a president or
a dictator has ruled, the same objec-
tive has been set, he declared. The
true aims of Germany were set forth
in the first edition OF Hltler's "Mein
Kampf," and no one reading that
them, Hitler said.
Brutal force was described as the
only language understood by the Ger
mans. 1t is foolish to say that we
are fighting the naZis and not the
German people. They have prepared
for this war il a general way for $50
| years and in a specific way for 10
| years." Hitler said
German military strength is ire
mendous, he said. Hitler said that he
had been on the German blacklist
since 1915.
