BEGINNING OF END

That was the beginning of the end.
Ruth finally was released in Feb
ruary of 1896. He was fat and forty
and through. There came a sea-
son as assistant manager and
pinchhitter with the Boston Braves
and part of a season as a Dodger
coach, but both experiments stole
some of the glitter from the success
saga that was George Herman Ruth.

for an all-time record. He became
the highest salaried player in the
history of the game when he drew
an $4,000 pay check in 1880 and
again in 1881. At the time he ap-
parently had no other thought but
to continue Walloping the ball into
his favorite spot, the right field
stands.
But in 1884, the Bambino was
heading for the end of the trail and
after one of his poorest years-he
started to eye the managers job.
The Yankees had slipped, manager
Joe McCarthy's contract was run
ming out and the late Col. Jake Rup-
pert was getting jittery.
Then the Babe made his most er-
ror. Prematurely, he demanded a
shoWdown-a choice between him
and McCarthy-and the stubborn
Rupert refused to accept an ulti-
matum even from the idolized Ruth.
Rupert offered the Babe the job
as manager of the Newark farm
club and Ruth, demanding all or
nothing, rejected it.

NEW YORK, July 28.-UP)-
Babe Ruth returns to Yankee Stad-
ium today for one brief moment of
glory in the role he sought so egerly
before becoming Baseball's for
gotten man.
The Bambino will sit in the cool
shadows of the Yankee dugout to
manage a club-satisfying for two
hours the decade-old ambition which
in 1886 resulted in his ignorminious
departure from the house his home
runs built.
1t makes little difference that
he'll be running a club composed
jointly of Yankee and Cleveland
Indian players against a team of
service stars-or that the game is
for baseball's war relief fund instead
of for the American League Pen
nant. The thrill to the Babe will lie
in the fact that finally at 40, he will
accomplish something that has
haunted him throug the years since
he took off that Yankee uniform.

Just off the press and on its way
to becoming best seller is book
that will have especial interest fol
many Montanans.
The book is called "To All Hands" >;
the author is 1t. John Mason Brown
famed lecturer and drama critic now
in the Navy The book is an eye
witness, play-by-play account of naval
action in the Italian invasion. Re.
counting the hourly action around his
ship, the former play critic reviewed
at first hand for the crew the memen-
tous drama of conflict in which he
himself was serving as participant
The especial interest for Montanans
lies in Lieutenant Browns associa-
ton with Montana State university.
Mr.. Browns association with Mon
tana began in June, 1922, when he
missed his own graduation exercises
at Harvard in order to assume his
first professional engagement as a
summed school lecturer at Montana
State university. He repeated in the
summers of 1929 and 1881 and he
came back again in 1912 to receive
an honorary degree and to deliver a
memorable commencement address,
In the years since his first appear
ance at Montana, he has won distinc-
ton as teacher, author and critic.
Since 1929 he has been dramatic
critic for the New York Evening Post
and the World Telegram.
"Mr Brown has earned a fine rep
utation by his lectures at Harvard,
Yale, Breadloaf and elsewhere since
that summer of 1922" said DR.. H. G.
Merriam, chairman of the English
"but he never had a
fonder clientele"
On his last visit to Montana in
1912, Mr. Brown recalled his first:

Goebbels, aside from being op-

Dr. Schmidt according to the Nazi

FOOD PRICE
RISES ARE
SLOWED UP

Retail food costs in Butt rose o.
per cent in the month ending October
Is, compared with a national rise Of
|0.6 per cent for large cities of the
United States, Edison H. Cramer, re
gional price economist of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, reported in Den
yer today.
The increase was due largely to the
seasonal increase in the price of eggs
which amounted to approximately s
per cent in Butte. During the cor.
responding period in 1912, egg prices
increased 11.9 per cent. Current price
regulations provide for lower egg
prices from November on, with con.
tinuing decreases until early in
March
While the prices for oranges and
lettuce in Butte were higher in Octo-
ber than September, decreases in po-
tato and carrot prices were so sharp
as to bring the overall cost of fruits
and vegetables down 09 per cent.
Prices for meats, beverages and
less than one per cent over the pre-
ceding month. Round steak and pork
chop prices increased 10 and 1.6 per
cent respectively, while the average
price for bacon was lower by 37 per
cent. Flour prices showed no in
crease over those of a month ago.
The overall cost of living index for
the nations large cities, announced
in Washington, showed rise of 0.4
per cent from September to mid

LABORATORY
REPORTS ON
PROTEIN

| The state grain testing laboratory
at Great Falls has submitted report
on protein content of spring and win
ter wheat throughout the state to AL
| bert H. Kruse, state commissioner OF
agriculture, which is published in full
below:
November IS, 1943
| Dear Mr.. Kruse:
Replying to your letter of the 10th,
the protein content I'M the spring
wheat crop this year is about the
same as last and other recent years.
The winter wheat, however, is decid-
edly lower.
The average, the high and the low
for spring wheat for the Triangle
area. including, also, that stretch
along the Great Northern east of
Havre and to a point east of Glasgow,
is 1850, 1907 and 1880. This
average compares with an average for
the Triangle last year of 1850.
From Glasgow east and including
Scobey and northeastern Montana,
the average spring wheat is 1850
and the high and low, 16.9% and 9.69o.
Last year the average for this area
was 1859 but that included, also,
wheat grown west of Glasgow to
Havre which is usually higher than
that grown east.
The Judith Basin spring wheat this
year averages 14259o with high and
low, 1870 and 11.3%.
The spring wheat from the Hardin,
Billings, Columbus and Molt areas on
the Northern Pacific averages 1907
with high and low, 5000 and 11.0%.
The winter wheat last year for the
Triangle and Judith Basin area aver
aged 1869 whereas this year the
Triangle winter wheat shows an aver
age of 1900 and the Judith Basin, an
average of 1857. The high for win
terwheat in the Triangle is 1850 and
the low, $50. The high for the
Judith Basin area is 1919 and the
low, $50. No figures are shown for
that area east of Glasgow because
very little winter wheat is grown
there
The winter wheat in the Billings
Hardin area averages 11.0O%o with a
high of 1859 and low of $40.
This average compares with an aver
age of 1900 for the same area last
year
These figures do not include all of
the tests made by this laboratory
fact, they include only small por-
tion-but they are representative of
a cross section of al the tests made.
Considering other factors of quality,
we find the dockage in winter wheat
this year unusually high-ranging up
hares ear, fanweed and other weed |
seeds.
The spring wheat dockage is about |
the same as previous years with there |
being no noticeable increase Of weed |
seeds in this class of wheat.
The test weight range in winter |
wheat is from Sc to 63.5; the average
Of all winter wheat being well over
so pounds.
The range in test weight in spring
wheat is from 54 to 64 pounds; aver
age of all spring wheat being So lbs.
The moisture content of the major
ty of both winter and spring wheat
'anges from 500 to 1900 which is
we'll within the limits for safe storage.
Only occasional lots contain excessive
moisture.
Kind in the winter wheat this year.
Some of the old winter wheat from
storage shows the effect of fermenta-
ion and heating.

LCQ. is q SuDSlQldTy Ol OIdHu-
ard Oil.
A story of the development
which is conservatively esti-
mated to cost the u. S. at least
$1O0,000,0O0 was carried in
The Peoples Voice of August
13 this year, the information
having been CLEANED from scanty
sources, no publicity having been
given it at all up to that time by the
daily press despite the fact that Dele
gate Diamond of Alaska in public
statement had declared the project
completely inexcusable".
Secretary Ickes, testifying before
the Truman committee last week,
stated that he could see no value in
the project, except to Canada, the
Standard Oil Company and its sub
sidiary, Imperial Oil Company, Ltd.
Mr.. Ickes stated that the project when
completely would deliver only 5000
barrels of oil a day and that one
tanker, working one fourth of the
time could deliver as much.
According to competent estimates,
the project when completed next May,
one year after being started by the
Army, will produce only 470 gallons
of aviation fuel per day. 1t is said
that the amount of transportation re-
quired for materials for the project
could have transported this amount
of gasoline daily for five years.
According to the petroleum admin
istrator, he had never been consulted
about the project and Ickes stated
he had never been permitted by Cen
eral Somervell to see the contract
According to testimony before the
Truman committee, the project was
approved in a single day without en-
gineering studies or cost surveys, the
apparent basis for approval by Cen
eral Somervell being a one-page men,
orandum from Col. ]. H. Graham, for
merly dean of engineering at the Uni

versity of Kentucky. The memoran-
dun estimated it could be completed
within a few months but called no
attention to engineering difficulties
or high cost. The memorandum is
said to have been written after a
single meeting between Graham, three
generals and two representatives of
the Standard Oil company.
Much criticism for construction of
the refinery at White Horse was di-
rected at the Army Secretary Ickes
stated that the investment in the re-
finery will in all likelihood be a total
loss to the United States when the
war is over, and that if built at all,
it should have been located at Fair
banks, Alaska, where it would have
remained the property of the U. S.
1t was stated that there would have
been less engineering difficulties in
constructing the pipe line to Fair
banks instead of White Horse, and
any difference in the cost would have
been offset by the fact that construc-
tion of the refinery at White Horse
entailed construction of long stretch
of highway connecting the Alcan high
way with White Horse.
A Budget Bureau report on the
project, prepared by the bureal's con-
sultant Robert Webb Coghill de-
nouncing the project, was never re-
vealed until submitted to the Truman
committee. The report which disap-
proved the project relates that in ad
dition to construction costs on a cost
plus basis being paid by the U. S. it
is also paying fixed fees" of $4,231,-
600 to the various interested COM
panies.-
