State Hospital Psychiutrist
Says Insanity Is No Mystery

Insanity is solution for a problem,
DR.. Gladys V. Holmes, clinical di-
rector and registered psychiatrist at
the Montana State hospital at Warm
Springs. told members of the Butte
Exchange club.
There is a war going on constantly
within every person and the settle
ment of that war determines whether
the individual be normal or insane
she added.
DR.. Holmes spoke on the subject of
Mental Mechanisms." She was grad
uated from McGill university in Can
ada with the class of 1924 and most
of the time since has been connected
with the Warm Springs institution. At
the institution during those years
about 1000 women and more than 5000
men have come under her observation,
she said
Dr. Holmes said that only about
Il0th of a persons personality is
made public. The balance is submerged.
The 9/10ths, she said, is stored away
everything is recorded.
The speaker said that there is moth
ing mysterious about insanity as it is
Just ordinary living" She explained
that there is a definite reason for a
person drifting away from the normal
to the abnormal state of mind.
Speaking of day dreams" and the
pleasure and rest they afford. she said
that they are all right for people
like you and me but not for those
who can't come back" Those people,
she explained. who have become COM
pletely subjected to this form of in
sanity have lost all desire to come
back and have gone into a world Of
dreams and shut the door behind
them"

ing was completed, so the contractor
thought, but upon measurement was
afterwards found to still lack a foot
OF the distance agreed upon. The own
ers insisted upon completion of the
work before surrendering the deed but
Mcintyre. a veteran miner and pros
pector. declared he would not walk
up the - hill again for the mine.
The mine In reality was discovered
by CHARLES D. Mcclure who had visited
the ledge in the summer of 1880 at
the request Of Holland In doing so.
ne came across a small piece of float
which. upon careful examination,
created in his mind the impression
that the big ledge had merit, and he
became so convinced of the truth OF
his belief that after subsequent visits
he bonded the property in his own
name for $4,000 and Immediately took
possession"
Through him a syndicate was formed
consisting Of st. Louis investors and
up to the summer of 1888, $50 900 was
expended in development, the total
disbursement In purchase and develop
ment amounting to about 100000.
John R. Lionberger was the first
president of the Granite Mountain
Mining Co.. he being succeeded in
December, 1884. by Lewis R. Rumsey,
who occupied the position up to the
time Of the consolidation with the BIZ
Metallic property in 1898.
c. D. Mcclure acted as superintend-
ent, but was later succeeded by Frank
L. Perkins who had been superintend-
ent Of the Hope Mining Co., which in
1885 built the Hope mill, the first
silver mill In Montana. He remained
as superintendent until March, 1885.

bonanza, when he was relieved by Capt.
John w. Plummer.
The Granite paid its first dividend
of 100000 in April, 1885, less than a
month after Plummer took charge
In 1884 Mcclure purchased the prop
critics lying west of the Granite and
in July, 1886, incorporated them as
the Bi-Metallic Mining Co., of which
Charles Clark was the first president
and was succeeded in October, 1889,
by Paul A. FusZ, who served as such
up until the organization of the con-
solidated company.
The members of the boards of di-
rectors in these companies being the
largest stockholders in both companies
it was deemed advisable to consolidate
them, and on April g. 1898, charter
was obtained under the name of the
Granite Bi-Metallic Mining Co., which
took possession the following month.
Beginning with the year 1883 and
up to May l, 1898, at which time the
properties were turned over to the
consolidated company, bullion and ore
was shipped from the Granite to the
value of 500 ,O93, 1O626, and from the
Bi-Metallic to the value of $780,

Can't Win
A Man With
Sophis+ica+ion
BY HELEN ROWLAND

SOPHISTICATION, like med
icine. Is a good thing when taken
in homeopathic doses. It's pri-
mary effect is TO make a girl
scintillant and entertaining. but
its secondary effect is some
times fatal. Fatal to her charm.
Theoretically, a man may adj
mire a bright, snappy girl who
doesn't take him seriously. But
he takes far more heart-interest
in the girl who looks trustfully
into his eyes and pretends TO
believe in him.
HE MAY STAND for the
frank young woman who is wise
to his line and who says she
sees through him; but he Is
more likely TO fall for the kind
who swallows the line. hook and
sinker and says she understands
him.
He may have a wholesome
respect for the girl with a ready
comeback and a snappy line OF
repartee; but he has a warm,
glowing spot in his heart for
the one who knows how 10
listen raptly and interrupts only
to applaud.
MENTALLY. he may agree
with the worldly young sophis-
ticate who laughingly protests
that all men are alike. But
sentimentally. he yearns for a
girl who still believes in love
and heroes, and will think that
he is different from all the other
men.
MEN MAY HAVE changed in
other ways but they haven't
budged a quarter of an inch
from their aboriginal notions of
feminine charm since Adam first
strolled in the moonlight with
Eve.
A mans idea Of a comfortable
woman TO live with is as old
fashioned as a goose-neck rock
ingchair or a crocheted tidy.
The overly sophisticated young
woman, like some modernistic
furniture, is too sharp and un-
compromising to be comfortable.
That's why a really sophis-
ticated girl Is the one who knows
enough not TO appear that way.

Try New
Cosmetic
Products
BY DONNA GRACE

1T MAY be a good trait in
most things to be satisfied with
any commodity that suits our
needs. Many women adopt this
principle with number of
things. but few apply the rule in
selecting their cosmetics.
They want to experience the
thrill of trying new things and
are often delighted with the dis
coveries they make.
II is still good judgment to
keep a somewhat staple stock of
certain items that are definitely
flattering or most suitable for
ones individual type.
These tried and true items
should not be discarded until
something better is found but,
to find these better things, 1t is
smart TO keep up with new
brands as they appear.
Thoroughly Tested
Large cosmetic manufacture
ers with their expert chemists
are always trying new formulas
and making scientific tests of
the reaction of all products
when applied to the skin. All
lipSticks, powders, lotions and
creams go through the testing
process until the most exacting
specifications are worked out.
This means not only perfect
texture and blending but the
quality of adhering to the skin,
pertaining, and all the intricate
operations that now constitute
the making of modern cosmetics.
In Harmony
Another reason for trying new
things is that cosmetics Of this
era are combined with style and
fashion. Every department
where color blending is done will
be generously supplied with
swatches of all new colors and
seasonable fabrics.
There are samples OF all hair
tones and portraits of women
for skin tones. So. with this
accurate guide. we may be sure
there will be suitable tints for
every one.
We tire Of the same boxes and
bottles even though they are of
good quality and II is really no
extravaganza 10 put them all
away for a while and experience
the thrill OF some of the lovely
new things.

Forget Hate
As Christian
And Jew Meet

ABOVE THE screech and
murk OF war and hate there
comes this true story. Some of
the details may be lacking. but
in the main it is true.
The Passover approached, that
day which has been holy to the
Jews for so many centuries.
CHARTERED in a little town in
Oklahoma was a regiment newly
gathered from all quarters of
America.
Among them there must be
some Jewish boys, and in the
town itself there was a scant
dozen Jewish families who OBJ
served the Passover.
$50 Boys
Thinking of the lonely lads
who otherwise could not make
their observances on that sacred
day, these few families sent an
invitation to the commander of
the regiment. offering to take
into their homes the boys of
their faith.
And the commander gladly
spread the news. But behold,
instead Of a dozen boys there
were $50.
CONSERVATION reigned through
out the village. Here was some
thing which went beyond Jew
ish need, which touched every
warm and grateful heart and
all American pride, What to do!
This happened:
The Methodist church opened
its spacious auditorium for the
feast. The Baptist church sent
all its accessories. And from
the United States Army Post
itself came 16 chaplains of every
faith to wait upon their Hebrew
comrades.
BrotherIy Love
Sometimes, these days, the
seemingly hopeless surge of hate
gets me down. I think of that
poisonous little. beast in Berlin
-. of the massacres of the
dead bodies piled in windows.
And then l think of that little
town in Oklahoma and of the
men Of every denomination who
stood behind those lighted cam
dies and served a common God.
And I think how there must
have stood with them a young
Jew-blood on His brow. sword
in His side, but a song in His
heart.
He has been neglected at
times. At times He has been
almost forgotten.
But here in America the love
He lived and died for goes on.
That Is enough reason for any
nation, for any man or woman.
to sacrifice the final ounce of
strength. That is enough to filI
any life with glory.
