A number of Capitalites have been
thrown into a linguistic tizzy. They
are the non-French-speaking recip-
tents Of invitations to the debut ball
which the Brazilian Ambassador and
Mime. Martins will give for their
beautiful daughter Nora on De-
cember 81. Just why the invitations
are in French no one knows, since
all three of the aforementioned
speak English, their own native
language is Portuguese and they are
stationed in the United States
French was once considered the
diplomatic language, but times
have changed.
The problem of answering has
caused some amusing repercussions
among the younger set. Only q few
girls have answered theirs in
French while a very large number of
men have. One Of the boys about
town has offered-for a slight re-
muneration--to take care of the
whole problem in the language of
the invitation. The following will
put him out of business.
Actually, an acceptance in English
lis perfectly correct, but for those
who want to do it with eclat and
little esprit thrown in, here Is the
correct form according to Mime.

Two new girls in town, who have

friends, affect the citizenry with
their beauty. artistic talents, etc,
are Elizabeth and Virginia Baker.
They are the 20-year-old twin
daughters Of Navy Capt. and Mrs.
Harold Baker who have just come to
Washington. The twins will make
their debuts this year. When Mrs.
Baker reported to her husband that

Is years before they came to WASH

part in numerous school, church

Her first years in the Capital
however, were so busy that she had
little time for club work until the

one met some of the brighter mill
tary minds that are apt to be found
between church time and Sunday
dinner in the apartment Of the
commander Of the British Army
staff. Last Sunday Air Commodore
Frank Whittle, the famous inventor
of the jet-propelled plane, was there.
Actually, 1t seems he figured this
whole jet business out back in 1922
when he was a student at Cramwell,
the r. A. F. equivalent OF West
Point, but his superiors thought he
ought to keep his mind on more
serious subjects. Later he spe-
cialized in engineering and got his
invention accepted. That's why
some Of the teachers found in Eng
land today have red faces.
The handsome Air Marshall and
Mrs. r. v. GODDARD were there, the
former still on fcrutches. He's be-
ginning to feel like "the Man Who
Came to Dinner" he no sooner got
over an automobile smashup than
he broke his ankle. Mrs. Ocie Heady,
Mrs. Don Shingler and the British
Air Attache and Mrs. r. j. Legg
were also on hand, Group Capt.
Legg referring to his 10-inch glass
as a depth charge. Brig. Gen.
Maurice Hirsch came bearing apples

Best Solution Appears
To Be Pickup Depot

Columbia Falls needs better mar
keting facilities if it is to continue tt
improve as trade center.
Neighboring farmers have beer
forced to take their cream to Kalis
pell and Whitefish, where there are
creameries. This means a longer
trip, and takes more day hours away
from farm work often during the
busy times of planting and harvest
ing.
From the Columbia Falls stand
point it has meant that farmers in
taking their cream to Kalispell and
Whitefish have found it convenient
to do their shopping there. The And
erson Brothers at the Columbia Cash
grocery deserve praise. AS a con-
venience to farmers, and at no profit,
they have been serving as cream
depot, but this facility is too limited
in its present effectiveness.

Whitefish creamery head; S. N. Hal

Rebuilding Glacier
Shortcut to Start

Actual construction of the remain

the next days.
The Union Construction company
has notified the division highway
offices that they will start rebuilding
the road within week. Final appli-
cation of smooth surface will de-

When completed the highway
which joins No. 81 at Half Moon

It will also provide IA shortcut to

Grocer Turns Chef
To Help Neighbor

Martin City residents now have the
opportunity to see their grocer, Ross
Luding, practice his army profession
as he takes over the night cook shift
at the Club cafe.
In the true spirit of the West, when
Ross found out that the neighboring
cafe lost it's night cook suddenly, he
offered his assistance. After a busy
day in his store, he now dons chefs
hat and apron, and turns his talents
to broths, roasts and sandwiches.
Army mess sergeant for 30 months
and graduate of the CT cooks and
bakers school, Ross saw duty in the
Italian campaigns. Best of all trib-
utes that can be paid cook is that
Jack Gordon as a CT ate Luding-pre-
pared messes in Italy, and now a
civilian he pays for Luding-cooked
lunches and dinners.
Being in the West and Martin Cley,
Club cafe customers are known to
gather in the kitchen to watch and
advise Ross as he does a sklllful
chefs job at deboning ham.

Better Cream Marketing Facilities Needed Here

Irrigation would result in much
more dairying in the county.
Columbia Falls as creamery
marketing center has four alterna
tives-a creamery, cream station,
route or a depot.
At the present time there is moi
sufficient milk cows in this area tt
support a creamery.
To maintain a cream station ir
Columbia Falls would require the
marketing each month of about 10
900 pounds of butterfat, or the yield
of 500 average producing cows. There
is the possibility of establishing a
cream station here.
A truck route picking up cream
at the various farms is considered
more costly than a cream station,
and therefore less practical.
An immediate solution to the
cream marketing problem would be
the establishment of cream depot
in Columbia Falls, where one of the
county's three creameries would ar
range daily pickups. Farmers should
be able to get advances on their
cream in order to do their shopping.
However, initiative on the part of
farmers and merchants is necessary
to bring this about and both will
gain. MIR

Vacation Nears End For 635 Students
Teacher SHORTAGE.
Creates Serious
School Handicap

AT nine o'clock Tuesday morning,
school bells will ring the end of
vacation days for an estimated 635
District students.
Attending Columbia Falls grade
school will be about 300 including
the Martin City youngsters; Coram
will have 80; Bolton on Glacier
parks southwest corner, so; Apgar
in the park, about 80, as will the
Essex school on Glaciers southern
border The district high school ex-
poets $50.
Total school enrolment is expect
ed to be 20 per cent more than last
year, reports District Supt. j. M.
Tindall.
School rooms in the district are
crowded, but the most serious prob
lem has been the difficulty of hiring
teachers. Many Montana cities will
start the school year lacking grade
and high school teachers This may
be true of Columbia Falls and Dis
trict Tuesday.
Other States Ahead
Where once Montana was the de-
sirable state in which to teach, now
as result of other states paying
higher salaries, Montana has lost
at least 5000 teachers since 1910.
Many of these have gone to Washing
ton, Oregon and California North
Dakota, which few years ago, had
lowest salaries, now tends to provide
more adequately for teachers than
do many Montana schools.
Small California high schools pay
their science teachers more than
$4,000 a year. This is more money
than is paid Columbia Falls super
intendent
The local teacher hiring problem
has been further intensified by lack
of suitable, modern housing. Super
intendent Tindall has lost six teacher
candidates for this reason alone.
Columbia Falls has poorly paid
teachers even for Montana. The
scenic worth of residing in this dis

Last Place for Penny Pinching
Clear thinking citizens realize
that schools and the training of flu
ture citizens should be the last place
for penny pinching. Governmental
expense and the tax burden should
be reduced, but not where it con-
Germs the eucation of the young.
To remedy the present i'll, it is:
necessary for the legislature to in
crease the maximum mill levy for
school districts, or provide more sup
port from other revenues such as
the liquor fund.- There appears to be
no other satisfactory solution for
the present poorly supported school
systems.
Local school boards nor school
officials can be blamed for the pres
emit teacher shortage, rather blame
should be placed on the Montana
state legislature, and the complac-
ancy of the people. MIR.

Seattle is the convenient and large
