This Fourth War OFT Lifetime
For Bitter Root Valley Woman

When World war No. began Mrs
Kerlee knew what it was to again
have members of her relationship go
off to fight. There were several neph-
ews and others in the American ex-
peditionary forces. This year it is
grandsors who make up the family
contribution to the colors. Corp Her
bert Hayward Jr., is with the aviation
corps in California; Robert Kerlee with
a hospital unit at Fort Lewis, Wash;
Norman Kerlee, member of the United
States navy on the east coast; Lieut..
L. H. Prather, husband of her grand
daughter, Helen Hayward Prather, at
Fort Benning, Ga.
Mrs. Kerlee. always a staunch pa
triot, looks on the present threat to
America with philosophic ideals born
of the long years and she feels conf
dent that the United States will win.
Somehow, even with all the modern
trappings, modern warfare does not
bring any more terror to mind than
those childhood impressions of the
Civil war, when children grew old with
their parents in the time of internal
national rift.

A little 85-year- old pioneer woman.
Mrs. Mary Kerlee at Darby, recalled
recently that the entrance Of the
United States into the present world
conflict numbered four major wars in
which her country had taken part
during her lifetime.
First, of course, was the Civil war.
She remembers when her father, Will
liam T. Hibler, marched away to join
the northern army with a Missouri
regiment. He was wounded in action
and when finally the war was over
there was a memorable day for the
Hibler family when the sire came
limping home. walking long way
from the town where he was mustered
out.
1--WE were watching down the coun-
try road the day we heard he was
coming back and mother took us MARY
was the oldest of four children) down
the way to meet him. His knee had
been broken when he was shot by a
rebel bullet" She said, she remembers
too, how their few valuables were hid
den from marauding guerillas and that
their one horse was kept tethered in
the deep wood lest he be stolen.
She heard in Missouri about the In
dian troubles in the west, not dream
ing at the time that eventually her
which Chief Joseph and his Nez
Perces invaded. The next major war
was the Spanish-American conflict.

Water Not Necessary to All
Animal Life, Expert States

Certain animals have solved the
problem of living without drinking
water.
This is the contention of Ernest P.
Walker assistant director of the Ma
tional Geological park, in the latest
annual report of the Smithsonian in
stitution.
Through long periods of evolution,
he says, they have developed means of
surviving with a minimum of moisture
so that today water seems abhorrent
to them.
The most specialized Of these ami
mails, he points out, are some of the
rodents such as the pocket mice and
kangaroo rats of the southwestern
United States and the jerboas of Asia
and northern Africa.
These animals" Walker explains,
live in regions where the rainfall is
very scant over much of their range
and where water is practically unob-
tainable. They have, therefore, become
adapted to living with almost no water
to drink. During the very short time
when there is green vegetation they
may eat some of it. At other times
they obtain no moisture except, per-
haps, an occasional drop of dew. But
their needs are adequately supplied by
chemical processes that take place
within their own bodies, where the
constituents of dried seeds and other
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-01-23

vegetable foods are converted into
moisture by oxidation.
II have often offered water to
pocket mice. kangaroo rats, grasshop-
per mice, and other desert animals to
make certain they did not suffer from
lack of moisture Almost invariably
they refuse it, although occasionally
they may sip little and then not
touch moisture again for months.
"One pocket mouse, very old male
took to using water rather regularly
He lived in captivity for eight years
and was apparently adult when cap
tured. 1t may be that as he became
very old his normal ability of convert
ing dry food into moisture became
impaired. Another animal of the same
kind seemed greatly offended when
I offered her water. On few occa-
sions I dropped single small drop of
water on her and was much amused
at her violent antics of rolling in the
sand to remove the offending sub
stance from her coat.
81 am convinced that she never took
water during 81 years. Very rarely did
she show any interest in eating any
moist vegetation.
I'm the case of such carnivorous
rodent as the grasshopper mouse, the
blood or body fluids of its victims
would supply one of these animals with
most of its required moisture"

Ford Asked to Help
In Effort for Peace

Rosika Schwimmer, who in 1915 per-
suaded Henry Ford to launch the ILL
fated peace ship" has disclosed she
has asked him for new help in estab-
fishing "the peace Of the earth"
She proposes that he turn over one
Of his estates and some of his millions
for provisional world government"
Madame Schwimmer said she first
requested Ford to participate in an
other world peace movement in a
letter to him on his 18th birthday in
1888 and that she had renewed her
plea in letter written the day before
Christmas. 1914.
Ford has not answered, she said.

lies in world government" said the

LARGER INCOME
SEEN FOR STATE
BECAUSE OF WAR
DEFENSE PROGRAM OF MUCE
SIGNIFICANCE TO MONTANA,
SAYS DIRECTOR

Archibald MacLeish. director OF the
office Of facts and figures. states "the
defense program has been Of much
more economic significance to Mon
tana than the figures on defense con-
tracts indicate"
The senate made public a letter in
which MacLeish predicted that FIN
creased production and a higher price
level, directly attributed to the de-
Tense program, will result in total
income for Montana considerably high
er in 1871. than in any recent year.
Some of the signs are these: l941
farm cash income, up a third over
that of 1910, likely to equal the 1929
figure: retail sales, up percent over
1910" to mid-December: value of min
eral output which in 1910 was higher
than either 1899 or 1898. is certain to
move still higher for 1871: total nom
agricultural employment, 10000 in
October. 1874. compared with 115,000
in October. 1910"
MacLeish wrote that agriculture was
by far the largest source of income
to the people of Montana. accounting
for 20 to 25 percent of 1t in recent
years. while manufacturing normally
accounted for not more than or 6
percent.
"Since Montana is not primarily a
manufacturing state" his letter said,
cit is not altogether surprising that
the number of prime defense contracts
placed there has been few"
For the period from June, 1910,
through October, 1941, he stated, &C
cording to the office of production
management, major defense contracts
in Montana totaled sl2,997, 900.
This" the director said. sis larger
than the total of defense contracts
awarded thus far to a number of Mon
tanas neighbors, specifically Wyom-
ing, Idaho, North Dakota and South
Dakota"
Attached to the letter were details
on income from agriculture and min
ing, retail sales, employment and in
dustrial facilities, to help provide a
comprehensive picture Of the effect OF
the defense program upon Montana"

Car Industry Emburks ON Broad
Program of Defense Production

The automobile industry has en-
barked on a broad program of con.
version to war production along lines
| markedly similar to the so-calleG
Reuther plan long advocated by union
labor.
Out of a meeting of OPM officials,
top-ranking motor manufacturers and
workers representatives came appoint
ment Of a l0-member union-manage-
ment committee charged with plan
ming the revamping of the industry.
On it were Edsel Ford, president of
Ford Motor Co., and Walter Reuther
c. I. o. official and author of the
''Reuther" plan.
The OPM presented to the 2OO-odd
industry spokesman its own program
for Transforming the hitherto highly
competitive industry into a unified
military arsenal pooling machines and
tools and swapping patterns and
processes between plants.
Besides creation of this group
whose decisions are subject to OPM
approval or rejection-the OPM pro-
gram called for:
Stopping of all non-military pas
senger and light truck production.
OPM announced that passenger car
makers would be permitted to turn
out 204,843 this month. This was the
figure set on Oct. Is. which was Or
dered cut in half after war broke out
The restoration was made to allow
manufacturers to use up already fab
ricated parts.
Stepping up military production
schedules so that the auto industry
will turn out five to six billion dollars
worth of war goods this year, instead
of the previously scheduled 81 billion
dollars worth.
C.. E. Wilson, president of General
Motors, told reporters that he doubted
such large-scale deliveries could be
made this year, predicting that most
of the year would be required for
''tooling up"
Placing five billion dollars of new
war and navy department orders with
the industry, which would boost total
military orders on motor makers books
to around $1,000, 100000.

STATE PICTURED
AS STEEL CENTER
PREDICTION MADE BY DESCHON,
PUBLISHER OF MONTANA OIL
JOURNAL

Prediction that Montana will one day
become the steel. center of the nation
was voiced by o. I. DeSchon, publisher
of the Montana Oil g. Mining Journal,
in a recent address.
Certainly as the history of Montana
has been written in copper, the future
history of the state will be written in
stainless Steel" the speaker said in
discussing Mineral Resources in Mon
tana."
Stainless steel is an important fac
tor today, since 1t Is the only metal
not subject to rust or corrosion, De-
Schon stated. The estimated cost of
corrosion in the United States is two
billion dollars annually, he pointed out
When the world, and its devastated
cities and worn out equipment, is re-
constructed, stainless steel will be used
since it lasts five to eight times longer
than any other steel. he asserted.
Montana has the largest deposit OF
chromite on the North American con-
tinent, and the nation will soon be de-
pendent on this state for its chromium
since only small supply Is now stored,
he stated.
The exposed veins of chromite in
the static would form a paved super
highway, one-eighth mile wide and of
unknown depth from the Dakota to
the Idaho border, DeSchon said.
