show from the San Francisco Mu-
scum Of Art. on a national circuit
under auspices OF the American
Federation OF Arts. 1t includes
nearly 30 works done mostly in the
Dos and '30s. among them several
studies for the fresco done for the
California School Of Fine Arts In
1881.
Rivera Is undoubtedly the best
known of living Mexican artists. He
is one of the trio who inaugurated
the revolutionary school Of mural
painters in Mexico early in the '2os.
He painted a number Of murals in
the United States in the next decade.

who are quite as likely to be tall and

Silk Screen Prints !
The National Serigraph Society's
prints in the Arts Clubs reception
rooms constitute an educationak
show Of 80 works. along with an
album Of proofs demonstrating the
process, detailed descriptions and
explanations, and silk screen. This
graphic medium has long been used
in commercial art fields, but was de-
veloped as a fine art under the
Government art projects a decade
ago.
1t is flexible medium, with
considerable range. In the hands Of
different artists It produces results
similar to block prints. water colors,
pen and wash and oils. Other ex-
ponents make prints Of such indi-
viduality that one might say they
look like silk screen prints and moth
ing else. But there Is no monopoly
of appeal. Max Arthur Cohns "Hy.
annis" has the appearance Of o
drawing in ink and wash; Ruth
Starr Roses "Burros" is similar in
effect, to a block print In color:
James H. McConnell's brightly coll
ored abstraction, "Ulterior Motif"
looks like a small nonobjective
painting in oils. But all of them
have esthetic merit. Mildred Rack
ley's semiabstract Sails" impressed
me as the groups most beautiful
print. Robert Gwathmey's "Tobac-
CO Farmers" is strong and impress
sive: Ernest Hopf's Country Road"

and peaceful.

The Murder of Clarke
Continued from page 10y

Indians.
Most of the men engaged in the
fur trade had taken as wives squaws
of the tribes with whom they dealt.
Malcolm Clarke's wife was a Black
foot. She bore him several children,
among them two sons who accom-
panied Baker on his expedition, and
a daughter, Helen, who later wrote
an account of Clarke's murder.
Clarke had settled, with his FAM
lily, on a ranch located in Prickly
Pear canyon. His ranch, in addition
to its stock, was useful as a stopping
place for travellers from the gold
mines to Fort Benton, and people
were, according to Martha Edgerton
| Plassman, eager to reach it for a
nights stay, that they might listen
to the stories of his adventures
which the then middle-aged trader
told so well.
The immediate cause of his muir
der, however, was that temper of
his. Several of his wife's relatives
had come to call, and while they
visited, their horses were stolen. In
vestigation was made, and it was
learned that white men had COM
mitted the theft.
Netuschio, leader of the Indian
party, suspected Clarke of the theft
and, in retaliation, stole C1arke's
c-xy o1orc a-I 0oO,7oh h1pc0c IN 4o1ya
his family home. Clarke and his old
est son followed.
Netusehio came to meet them,
riding Horace Clarke's favorite
horse. Young Clarke, without wait
ing for a parley, attacked the Indian
with a whip, and in the melee which
followed, the white man and his
half-breed son escaped only through
the interference of an old chief.
Nefuschio Strikes
For two years the Indians stayed
away from their white relative.
Then a Blackfoot chiefs brother was
murdered without ~provocation by a
white mar in Fort Benton and
Netuschio returned to C1arke's ranch
mid-August night and shot him.
1t is rather difficult to separate
cold truth from the emotionalism
with which it is interviewer in Helen
Clarke's account. Still, torn as she
was between loyalty to her charm
ing father and sympathy for her
mothers downtrodden race, she tried
hard to be fair, and her story has
the additional advantage of her pres
ence at the tragedy.
C1arke's family - his son Horace,
who had been wounded, his daugh-
tiers Helen and Isabel and a third
girl who was little more than a baby,
a small Indian boy and at least two
squaws - covered in a ~barricaded
bedroom until morning, when the
girls fastened to a neighboring ranch
In search of help. They got none, be-
cause the ranchers were frightened
at what they assumed to be an In
dian uprising. This, wrote Miss
Clarke, vas understandable, but
seemed heartless to her at the time.
Later in the day help arrived, prep
arations were made for the muir
dered mans burial, and authorities
at the capital were notified.
Public indignation, aggravated by
fright, was high among the white
DOD1lation of the territory Marth,

Why Chemicals Have
Been Added to Motor Oil

As engine power output has been stepped
up -. speed increased and the sizes of
engines become smaller :. the moving parts
have been made to fit tighter and tighter.
So motor oils today must stand up under
far greater heat than before. They have
to get into timer places to lubricate. They
have to keep dirt from forming. They even
have to "qOash" the engine.
That's why chemicals have come into the
motor oil picture. 1t has been found that
certain chemicals can be added to motor oil
to do those extra jobs.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-07-15
Some chemicals are
"inhibifors"

Some keep the oil from foaming.
Others keep acids from forming =.
acids that might corrode and rust the
insides of an engine. Still other and
inhibitors (frst developed by
Shell Research) keep motor oil from
"oxidizing". from breaking down
under heat and moisture into dirt
and sludge.
