SEEK To EXTRACT
LIQUID FUEL FROM
STATE COAL BEDS
Montana Said To Have Enough
To Supply Nation For
Next 400 Years

One hundred thousand three
colored Montana mining maps de-
signed to provide a wide acquaint-
ance with the states mineral re-
sources have been made available
by Montanans, Incorporated, the
state chamber of commerce.
Distribution, which is free, is to
interested parties within and out
side the state, with the object of
increasing interest in Montana's
vast mineral resources, officials of
Montanans, Incorporated, said.
Text on the cover of the map,
which was reproduced from an orr
ginal by the U. S. Bureau Of Mines,
reviews MOntana's pioneer mining
activities.
The map shows, among other
things, that not a single county in
Montana is without naturalization.
The occurrence of 50 metallic and
non-metallis minerals are indicated.
OF special interest is the fact that
reserves of Ignite and sub-bitumin-
Gus coal in Montana are estimated
at over four hundred billion tons.
Research is now being carried on
to determine the feasibility of ex-
tracing fuel from coal. MOntana's
reserves if converted to liquid fuel
could supply the United States with
gasoline for over four hundred
years at the present rate of con-
snmntinn-

termined Bridger five 20 to % Sat
urday night at Bridger. Jim Kied-
rowski substituting for Leo Fink
at center, sank a goal in the last
ten seconds to give the Locomot-
ives victory.
Laurel started fast and was out
in front II to 6 at the end of
the first quarter, mainly because
of Bervyl Kimberley's eye for the
basket. Bridger led at half time
Is to Ia. The Locomotives re-
gained the lead on a quick break
ing tip off play with Fink scor-
ing at the start of the second
half.
With two minutes remaining in
the last quarter, Helt tied the score
&c to &c. Brown then put his team
ahead % to &c. Leo Wagner con-
verted a free toss to bring the

BEAT COUGARS 40-36
Capacity Crowd Fills Gym
Prepared For Tournament
-Bridger, Edgar Lose

The Laurel Locomotives playing
their best basketball of the season
defeated the Columbus Cougars 40
to Sc in a tight game here last
Friday night. The contest was
watched by a capacity crowd which
filled all bleacher seats erected for
tournament play next week.
The Laurel junior high team lost
a % to % decision to the Column
bus juniors in a contest that furn-
ished as many thrills as the main
game.
Miss Genevieve Haug's girls
physical education class entertained
the fans with tumbling and stunts
between halves of the last game.
Jim Sherrow, who played the
best game of his high career,
opened the scoring when he con-
verified a free throw. Yonce even
ed the count for Columbus and
then Bill Scott, who was hotter
than a firecracker the first half,
scored a goal to give the Cougars
a short 8 to 1 lead WHICH Sherrow
evened with a field goal. Scott
hit another and Joel Roth made it
5 to 5 when he found the hoop
from the side court. Scott scored
two more quick goals to make it
8 to 5, then Wagner cut the lead
to 9 to z as Graham found the
rim to boost the Columbus lead
II to 7. Sherrow got a field
goal and Kimberly a free toss be-
fore the quarter ended, with the
count II to 10 for the Cougars.
Bill Speare converted a free toss
as the second quarter started to

Leo Fink, who went in for Kim

goals to put Laurel ahead 10 to
II, and the Locomotives re-
linquished the lead thereafter, leav-
ing the court at half time ahead

with Graham getting a basket to
cut the Laurel margin, 20 to 10.
Then Kimberly and Sherrow teamed
up to score six points apiece to
give Laurel a 35 to 25 margin
at one time in a scorching third
quarter which saw each team score
10 points. In the last part of
this period Jim Graham started his
team on a rally which found Laur-
ell holding a 81 to 33 margin go
ing into the final period. Each
team scored three points in the

PEORIA. = Slick, reactionary
Everett Dirksen, seventeen Re,
publican incumbent in Congress
is just about washed-up with
the workers, farmers and small
business people of this 18th Dis
trict.
His anti-labor, anti-price con-
troll. anti-people,s record is be-
ginning to catch up with him.
Much discussed as potential
vice-presidential candidate for
1913, Dirksen has the dubious
honor of being one of the active
leaders of the reactionary bloc in
Congress. of Republican and poll
tax Democrats.
OTHER dubious honors: a
medal from the British stooge
King George of Greece; voted for
all the Gripping amendments to
price-control; voted for the Case
Bill and to override veto of some
by the President; voted for the
Hobbs Bill; introduced the bill to
place us. Employment Service
under state control; voted to
cripple UNRRA.
He has received-AND NOT
|REPUDIATED-the endorsement
of Gerald l.. K. Smith.
Needless to say, with such a
record, Mr.. Dirksen is the darling
of Wall st. and of the big indus
trialists such as Caterpillar Trac-
tor Works and Hiram Walker
Distilleries of Peoria.
Dirksen hadn't any eral opposi.
ton in his previous campaigns,
but he seems to be up against a
new kind of candidate this time.

date, has platform and makes

Dirksen has the support of the

ded fascism of a Gerald l.. X.

EUROPEAN SPOONBILL
(Plataled lecordin).
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Holland, although it is a densely
populated country where every inch
of ground is needed, has set aside
three excellent nesting grounds for
the exclusive use of spoonbills and
their kin. Absolute privacy was as
sured. The birds paid scant attten-
ton to the few people who did have
permission to watch them.
The beautiful spoonbills would
arrive in February from the south.
Nesting did not begin until April.
In spite of the larger colonies, as
many as 200 birds would gather,
where. from a distance, they re-
sembled belated patch of snow.
The small lakes set aside for their
use have a thick fringe of reeds. The
birds would trample the reeds down
before building their nests upon
them.
Both parents assume the respon-
sibility of brooding the eggs as well
as the education and feeding of their
offspring. By August or late Sep
tember the spoonbills and their
young would be winging their way
to the south again.
Spoonbills belong to the family of
long-legged wading birds always
found along shores or muddy flats.
Usually they are seen standing on
one leg.
In obtaining their food, the spoon
bill sways the body in half circle,
the long supple neck swinging with
it. The bill is thrust in the water
in search of reptiles, fish. frogs,
mollusks, insects and other aquatic
animals. One long, slow sweep of
the open spoonlike bill rarely fails to
come hack full.

Saturday Town Meeting.

st. Louis-I am told that it is
now preferable to pronounce al
lies" by accenting the first syl-
liable, and that the second-syllable
accent is out of date. Is this so?
j. D.
Answer-No. It's a matter of
choice. My four-year radio check
shows, however, that the better
broadcasters usually accent the sec-
ond syllable, as: uh-LIZE.
Houston-Please discuss the pro-
nunciation of the word "colum-
mar" I've always said "COL-um-
ner."-Mrs. w. A. G.
Answer-Sorry. Accent the Sec
ond syllable, thus: col-UM-ner. The
word columnist, on the other hand
is pronounced: COL-um-nist.
Palacios-If the musical instru-
ment cello" is pronounced che
TO- why isn't "cellophane" called
"chellophane' Mrs. C. H. K.
Answer-The words have no re-
lation. Cello is short for violon-
cello, an Italian diminutive foI
violone. In Italian, &C" before "e'
and "i" has the sound of "ch." as
in church" Cello, therefore, is:
CHELL-oh. The cello" of cello
phane is from "cellulose. a word
which we borrowed from the French
The -phane is a Greek combining
form which means, appearing like. y
beaverton the air recently
John DAILY pronounced khaki as
CAR key" How come, Pancho?-
B. Y.
Answer-In pronunciation, DAILY
is quite the pukka sahib. Despite
dictionary preference for the Brit
ish pronunciation "KAH-kee." the
overwhelming pronunciation in
America is: KAK-ee, to rhyme with
"wacky." AS to "CAR-key," 1 am
reminded of Kipling's remark: Its
pretty, but is it Art?"
