M'MULLEN SPEAKS ON
ROLE Of EDUCATION
IN POST WAR PERIOD

Duties and functions of educa-
ton in the postwar world havs
been variously construed by educa-
tors, politicians and others. Somf
seem to think education means in
doctrination-a sort of DR.. Goeb-
bells thing.
Using those general thoughts as
a preface, DIR. l.. b. McMullen of
the Eastern Montana Normal school
at Billings told Laurel Rotarians
Tuesday that in his opinion and in
the opinion of a good many others
who nave given attention to the
matter, education should remain Z
means for acquiring the art Of in
telligent thinking, or at least en-
courage the art by supplying ac-
curate premise material from wide
spread sources. That includes ac-
tual as well as synthetic experience.
Opposed to that position are those
who hold Germany should be in
jected with democracy, an adapta-
ton or perhaps a near copy of the
SySIcm uStO III SCnOOlS Oh lndA
country prior to the 0~o~o~4
DR.. McMullen's hearers recognized
his arguments against departure OF
education from purism.
The speaker went on to practical
uses of education that involve man.
ual arts and rotes, as contrasted
to the strictly academic type.
A brief formidable followed the
address.
DR.. McMullen was presented by
Fred w. Graft, August program
committeeman.
DR.. p. A. Johnson, recently elect
ed member, was welcomed to the
Laurel club. C. II. Barney was
elected and welcomed at the Tues
day meeting.
1t was disclosed that the Laurel
club occupied first place in the
state for attendance of members
during June. The report was re-
leased by the new governor of Re-
tary district No. 112, Jack Root 81
Bonner.

GORMAN IS TO SPEAK
ON ATLANTIC CHARTER

In observance of the third ami
versary of the signing of the Allan
tic Charter on Aug. ID, 1871, Frank
J.. German will deliver a special adj
dress under auspices of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars of the
United States over Station KGHL
at. 1890 p. M. Friday, Aug. IL.
1t was nearly four months before
Japan's treacherous attack at Pearl
Harbor when the leaders of the
United Nations, those who framed
the Atlantic Charter, met some
where on a battleship on the Allan
tic ocean to adopt a set of COM
mon principles.
"The Atlantic Charter has al
ready become an historic document
in the story of mankind's struggle
for peace" declares Commander Ed.
Warwick of Billings post No. 1884.
"The very fact that all freedom
loving nations were quick to en-
brace the basic principles of the
Atlantic Charter gives US sufficient
cause to believe that we have a
real chance to establish a durable
peace in the postwar world.
despite the obstinate fanaticism
of our enemies, the United Nations
will ultimately achieve the victory
for which they have sacrificed so
much. By clinging to the same
spirit of unity which has carried
them to the very threshold of VIC
tory to date, the Atlantic Charter
has already laid a foundation on
which the world can build a peace
structure which should survive for
many years to come. This is what
our sons are fighting for today"
The address by German repre-
sents the forty-fifth in a series of
monthly "Speak Up For Demo-
talks that was inaugurated
by the v. F. w. in December 1910.
ATS radio stations carry this
broadcast on the eleventh day of
each month in commemoration of
Nov. II, 1918.

CORUNDUM DEPOSIT
NEAR BOHEMIAN IS
BEING DEVELOPED
Mineral Is Next In Hardness
To DiamOnd-EXpect First
Shipment In October

What promises to be the worlds
outstanding deposit of corundum,
the hardest known mineral next to
diamond and the only important de-
post in this nation, is now being
developed II miles southwest of
Bozeman, Gallatin county, j. Reed
Lane, deputy director for metals
and minerals of the war production
board, has announced in Denver.
Construction work on access roads
to the deposit, known IS the Fuller
corundum mine, installation of
power lines and erection of a mill
is expected to be completed within
60 days.
Actual production and shipment
of the critical ore containing high
quality corundum is scheduled for
late October.
Development of the long known
but neglected Montana deposit will
contribute greatly to the nations
corundum needs, now supplied en-
tirely by importations from South
Africa and other sources, Lane said.
The u. S. bureau of mines is now
diamond drilling the deposit. Dis
tribution of the output will be di-
rected for the duration by the wal
production board.
C%orundum is a vital war mineral
with abrasive qualities necessary
in the manufacture of precision in
struments, the grinding of lenses
and other essential war production.
The unusually abundant Montana
deposit was discovered about 1900
and first worked in 1903 by a group
which included Leverett S. Ropes,
now of Helena, who at that time
was an aspiring young mining en-
gineer and graduate of the Michi-
gan School of Mines.
The mine was worked six months
and then closed. It's original de-
velopers became discouraged and
eventually the mine was abandoned.
After the outbreak of war, Mr..
Ropes, now rs and still vigorous,
learned the nation needed many
vital and critically short minerals,
including corundum, for war pro-
duction. He remembered the de-
serted corundum deposit in which
he had worked 40 years earlier.
Lane assigned w. Earl Green
ough of Salt Lake City, prominent
western mining engineer now or the
war production board staff, to in
vestigate. AS a result of Green
investigation, the war pro-
duction board asked members of the
corundum industry to take i'm
mediate steps to develop the prop
arty.

SLAUGHTER IN
HUGE NUMBER
Expect Peak Oh Mark
citing In October
Hogs Are Down

The movement of cattle fom the
range states is now getting under
way. Marketings are expected to
reach a peak in October, taxing
slaughterhouse capacity as did the
heavy hog runs of last winter and
spring. Scarcity of skilled labor az
packing plants is a bottleneck.
Cattle slaughtered at 80 federal
ly inspected centers for the week
ending July 2 totaled 208, 1927, the
heaviest slaughter of the year and
one-fourth greater than the COM
parable week last year. Slaughter
of calves also reached a new high
of 111,555, more than double the
comparative week a year earlier
with prices advancing sharply.
The 12.1 million head of cattle
and calves slaughtered during the
first five months of this year was
short of the number considered
necessary to reach the slaughter
goal for 1914 by about 1,15O,O00
cattle and $4,000 calves. In order
to bring numbers into safer rela-
tionship with feed supplies, the 1914
slaughter goal called for the slaugh-
Ter of 35 to SO million head. Cattle
numbers in this country have in
creased by nearly % per cent since
about 66,OOO,0OO head to
80, 100000 OF Jan. 1, 1914. Present
indications are that numbers on the
first of January will be changed
but little from last years record.

STRAND

Patrons of the Strand Theatre will have an opportunity to see Hollywood's first picture dealing with the treatment of soldiers re- turned from the battlefronts when PROS "When the Lights Go On Again" featuring James Lydon opens there today.
 Lydon, in this psychological drama directed by the veteran William K. Howard and produced by Leon Fronkess, enacts the role of a Marine returned from the South Pacific who develops amnesia on his way home to his bride, family and his trends.
 Newcomer Barbara Belden enacts teh role of the Marines wife, while Regis Toomey, George Cleveland, Grant Mitchell, Dorothy Peterson, Harry shannon, Lucien Littlefeld, Luis Alberni and Emmett Lysnn, have the other roles.
 The title is taken from the record breaking song of the same name, and its music is used as the theme for the underlying, dramatic score written by Academy Award Winner W. Franke Harling. It is used also as choral number of the beginning and ending of the picture.
 The companion feature. is Seven Doors to Death" featuring Chick Chandler and June Clyde.

lighting in the Pacific. Naturally he is somewhat different when he returns and there are complications galore while the parents try to de- eide how to understand him and vice versa. Young Billy Redfield gives Q good performance as the son and has much to do with mak- ing the play believable. Others in prominent roles are Etigenia Dela- rova. Elspeth Eric, Patricia Kirk land, Russell Harde, oJlln Souther, Bethel Leslie, Enid Markey and Dort Clark.
 THE play "violet'' has been fashioned from the short stories of character of that name that have been running in Redbook magazine for many months. Whit field Cook, who writes the stories, wrote the play. The centure misses fire abdly despite some good people in the cast, including 15-year-old Pat Hitchcock, daughter of film director Alfred Hitchcock, who plays the title role-that of a pre- cocious brat who interferes with her divorced fathers love life.
 Albert Margolies produced the play with backing supplied by Metro Goldwyn-Mayer.
