VICEROY DAN M. KELLY CALLS
THE TUNE

queer specimens who believe the COM

terse, language which we will not
quote because to do so would mean
breach in the general purity of phrase

DRIVES AND SOCIAL INDUSTRIES
This article aims to be a cultured |
essay on drives and drives, with the |
emphasis on drives.
AS to drives, every community with |
to municipal modernity, |
has its quota, which may be called So
cial industries here in Butte, and as !
so designated can serve as accomplish
ments of the Butte Chamber of Com
les, in addition to other services rem
dered, not excluding the take" rem
dered to private and unofficial drives
Of no mean proportions.
1t is a dull and dreary day in Butte
when some sort of drive is not on the
agenda of the Butte c. of G. or some
less conscipuous and with
less pressure to exert on the hapless
businessmen and other unfortunate
The latest drive to get under way
Is the one to extract some three thou

names of streets on markers for the
guidance of the thousands of tourists
which the C. of C. is going to lure to
Butte, with the avowed intention of
sending them away with much less in
heir billfolds after departure
A very laudable purpose and logi-
cal result, we concede.
We were grieved mildly to read
N our daily blackout rags that the
marker drive, despite the modest
amount wanted, was having some
'ough going.
To console the admirals, generals,
,ommodores and lesser brass-hats for
he reluctant response to their worthy
~ efforts, we suggest that the multi
,licity of drives may be the reason, /
lot lack of appreciation of their spon-
aneous and prodigious application of

AS a solution, we would suggest less
peed "a breathing spelD and more
coordination as remedy. The marker
rive should be combined with the
sixth floor drive to place name plates

ossip of the man-in-the-street that
