DEALS WITH
K|NSH|P OF MANKIND

Rotary International's share ir
celebrating the many years of peace
that have existed between Canada
and the United States will be direct
&c by the Great Falls Rotary club
this year, Laurel members were in
formed by their secretary, R. B.
Packard, Tuesday. A communica-
ton he read suggested that the Lau-
rel club be represented at the OBJ
servance near the international
boundary.
A guest at the meeting Tuesday
was Arthur Albright, recently re-
turned to Laurel on vacation from
the University of Wyoming.
Harry Smart, program commit
teeman, presented Rev. w. p. Gauer
who exhibited slides that constituted
a lecture and were accompanied by
a script which Rev. Gauer read.
The lecture seemed to define the
word race as mankind IN general,
instead of the usual definition of
variety of the genus Homo, or be-
longing to a particular group.
Of the several theories relating
the appearance of man on the
earth it chose the one indicating
beginning near the Euphrates
river of Turkey, a stream 1000
long, Erzerum through Ar
menia, Kurdistan and Mesopotamia
a juncture with the Tigris; thence,
as Shaft al Arab, to the Persian
gulf. In the vicinity is the supposed
site of the arden of Eden.
According to this theory the mi
of mar was in several di-
1%ections, accounting for his subse-
Iuent appearance in Asia, western
europe, Africa and the Americas.
The lecture seemed to hold that the
'nly difference of the varieties was
heir colors.

TWO BURGLAR|ES ARE
ATTEMPTED THIS WEEK

Two unsuccessful burglaries wert
attempted in Laurel this week, the
first Monday night at the V. c
Johnston Lumber company office
215 East Main street, and the sec
end Tuesday evening at the Carl
Perry residence, 319 Montana ave-
nue.. Both tries were attempts to
crack safes.
Entrance to the Johnston store
was gained by forcing open a door
on the west side, leading from lumb-
er sheds to the store. An electric
clock above the safe in the office
was disconnected at 1850. The
burglar knocked off the safes dial
and unsuccessfully tried to punch
out the tumblers. He then pulled
the rods from the door hinges,
which yielded no results.
Although drawers in the office
were ransacked, stamps were left
and a handful of pennies in the cash
remained. Apparently moth
ing of value was taken from the
store.
P. A. Johnston, manager, said
there may have been $50 in cash
the safe, plus several checks.
Damage to the safe is said to have
been more than it's cash contents.
The burglar at the Perry home
Tuesday evening was driven away
by the unexpected return of Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry and some guests. The
often spend Tuesday eve
hing away from home, which the
burglar may have known. He was
working on a safe in an enclosed
porch when the Perry's drove
lp at 9 o'clock and had succeeded
n prying loose most of the door
,late from the rivets attaching it
o the inner portion of the door, a
ommon practice in cracking small
afes.
The Perrys found the front and
ack doors of their home open when
hey entered and discovered the
urglar's tools near the partially
safe.
Deputy Sheriff Harold Price and
)cal police officers were Immediate
notified in both instances and
lade Investigations that are ex-
ected to lead to arrests.
Perry said his safe contained
apers of no value to others but of
alue to him, together with a coin
election of old and odd specimens.

Willard Baldwin told the Kiwanis
club Wednesday evening as he de-
scribed one of his several hobbies.
This hobby has a practical advant-
age over most: it pays dividends
that help to finance the others. Har-
Ian Russell, the clubs program
chairman, introduced Baldwin and
said he would speak concerning old
automobiles. The speaker had no
difficulty in fitting from flying.
chariots to flying sugar factories.
When Baldwin graduated from
high school the spring of 1926 he

From a banker he borrowed 5000

placed in good locations in the Mis-
souri, river valley of northern Mon
He s%ubdivided the colonies
and thus made them into 20, which

extracted honey. This he peddled
louse to house, paid his way through
school for a year at Helena and ap-

Captivating with her hand

Miss Snyder did well with

To see Welichansky is to
know why theatre is good.
Alternately as the harassed
father Of "Motele" and then
as Motele himself, he tickled
his listeners ribs. In "Clin-
ton Street., from N. Weis-
mans story depicting New
York's lower East Side, he
brought to life with painful
perceptiveness the unashamed
intimacy of tenement dwell
ing. But the portraitures that
brought the house down were
ga Litviser Maggid', with its
priceless discourses on "gorn-
ist", and "The Hypochond-
riac", who daily sought a
new method of suicide.

HOLLYWOOD-After a run of
only three weeks, 20th-Century
Fox's "Gentleman's Agreement"
was withdrawn from the No. 1
movie house in Dublin, Erie. The
picture received lukewarm re-
ception from critics, and despite
plenty of ballyhoo it never picked
up at the box office. The feeling
there is that the picture lacked
interest for Fire where there is
virtually no anti-Semitism, and
the problem merely puzzles the
average Irish filmgoer.
Yiddish vaudeville, once a
spasmodic affair at best,
has suddenly come to life in
Hollywood. Starting with
few Sunday night dates at

months ago, it is mushroom
ing to record proportions.

Mr.. Moson's Reuppointment

If the six years during which Guy Mason
has served this community as District
Commissioner have not been notable for
their tranquility, they have been marked
by candor and sincerity Of purpose
which amply justify the Presidents de-
cision to nominate him for third term.
Mr.. Mason was in hot water when his
first term expired in 1914. He had had
run-in with a Senate subcommittee
which tried unfairly to saddle him with
blame for undesirable conditions at Gal
linger Hospital, and there was some doubt
that the Senate would indorse him for a
second term as Commissioner. When this
became known, however, there was an
impressive display of community support
for Mr.. Mason, and his nomination was
confirmed without serious difficulty.
There is no reason to doubt that most
Of the residents of Washington remain
favorably impressed with Mr.. Mason's
service to the Nations Capital. If his
blunt manner of speaking has made some
enemies, there is no question that, as
Commissioner, he has sought sincerely and
earnestly to further the best interests of
the city. He is entitled to a third
term, and the indications that the Senate
will confirm his nomination should be
welcomed.

its plans to set up puppet regime in It's
zone which could pretend to work for
united" Germany wholly subservient to
Moscow.
It is here that Berlin is valuable to
Soviet designs. Ruined though 1t is, Berlin
has symbolic Importance as the capital
and metropolis of the former German
Reich The victors recognized this when
they made Berlin their official liaison
point, dividing the city into four occupa-
ton districts which are a miniature of the
fourfold division of the Reich as whole.
This arrangement is so basic and so
vital, both politically and psychologically,
that any proposal of the Russians to
change it will be rejected by America and
Britain, and presumably by France as well.
Should Moscow attempt to change it by
unilateral action, this would unquestion-
ably precipitate major crisis In inter-
Allied relations. There are, of course,
many ways in which the Russians could
make the tenure of the western powers in
Berlin uncomfortable, because Berlin is an
"enclave'' situated deep in the Russian
occupation zone and accessible to the
western powers only by rigidly defined lines
of communication. If the western powers
resolve to hang on under almost any cir
cumstances, however, Moscow eventually
may be faced with the dilemma either of
relieving the pressure or OF threatening
expulsion by force. And that would
logically spell an act of war.
