Here we are, just past the half
century mark Of the twentieth CEN
tury. Since we are in the 1900's,
it might seem that this should be
called the nineteenth century, but
we are on the way toward 1000,
and are in the middle of the century
which will mark an even 20 cen
turies when 1t Is finished.
At this time it may be well to go
back over the past half century, and
to speak of some of the changes
which have taken place.
There was the same old earth in
1900, but some Of the ways of hui
man life were different. The dawn
|of the present century saw men in
the horse-and-buggy days. On the
race track there was fair speed. A
jockey might 60 a mile in two and
a half or three minutes, but the
common thing was for people to
jog along the roads at a slow pace.
It might take 10 minutes a mile.
On q Sunday afternoon, a family
might 60 driving in a surrey. This
carriage had two seats instead fof
one. -Four adults could ride in it
with comfort, but it was common
to pack the people in. Perhaps
there would be two adults and five
children enjoying the fresh air and
the scenery. If they travelled Is
miles in a day, it was a long, hard
trip for the steed which pulled the
surrey.
In 1900 there were few strange
little carriages which went along
without horses. These were gaso-
line cars. Most persons never had
seen one, but news of them was
published in newspapers.
The idea seemed strange, and
many persons would have been will
ing to bet that such carriages would
prove q failure There were, how
ever, pioneers who saw a great fu-
ture for the automobile, and some
of these men held races.
Slow progress was made on the
automobile In the opening years Of
the century, but at. length it be-

West Hit by Drought
On Anniversary Of
Worst Snowstorm
BY the Associoted Press

DENVER. Jan. 2.-One year ago
today, the worst series of snow
storms in Western history began.
For seven weeks, continuous bliz-
yards almost suffocated the West.
Those storms took a terrible
toll of human lives, livestock and
wildlife. But they were helpful,
too, for the melting SHOWS filled
mountain reservoirs with water in
the spring, assuring bountiful sup
plies of moisture for summer.
Today, on the first anniversary
OF that destructive storm, farmers
of the Rocky Mountain States are
praying for snow-to relieve a Sc
rious drought.
This morning. snow was re-
ported falling along the western
slope of the Rockies from the
Canadian border to the Colorado
New Mexico line.
East of the Rockies, cold mass
OF air from Western Canada was
pushing southwark, bringing
snow and much colder weather
with it.
Most of Northern and Eastern
Wyoming reported snow today,
ranging up to about six inches in
the Rock Springs region.
Coolest temperature report in
the area was 80 below at Great
Falls, Montana, early this morn
ing. Sheridan was the coldest
spot in Wyoming with 10 below.
Colorado's frigid points were
Frazier and Leadville, with IT
above.
Winter Wheat Damaged.
The Mountain States depend on
snow to provide moisture for
winter crops and irrigation for
arid summers. This year, through
November and December, the
weather has been the balmiest on
record. Moisture supplies are far
below normal Winter wheat has
been damaged by the drought.
It's an odd situation compared
with that of year ago today, the
first day of the great blizzard. IT
struck so furiously that in a few
hours highway travel in several
Western States was stopped.
In two days, railroad traffic
came to a standstill as snowdrifts
piled 30-foot drifts in front of
trains. Locomotives of relief
trains were buried to the smoke
stacks.
Towns Isolated.
Towns were isolated and people
trapped in buried houses. On the
ranges. countless thousands of
animals perished.
More than a hundred people
died in that storm. The livestock
industry of the West suffered a /
multi-million dollar blow. Fish
and game animals took a terrible
beating.
Soldiers directed by Maj. Gen.
Lewis A. Pick. builder of the Ledo
ROAD, nnally dug the strickenI
West out of the drifts.
The losses were staggering. Butt
the moisture brought to arid
States by the tremendous snowfall
overbalanced them. And water is
SO important that Western farm
ers are willing to take another
blizzard to get it.

BY 1925 there were millions of cars

Sometimes they covered from 40

HOLLYWOOD,


When Walt Disney sets out to
cast new film he often finds that
the speech, appearance and man
nerisms of human actors are the
inspiration for the pen and ink
creatures they talk for.
The Mad Halter, an important
character in Disney's Forthcoming
Alice in Wonderland" is a good
example.
Before assigning an artist to
draw the ridiculous fellow, Walt
had to decide how he would sound.
He imagined high-pitched. giddy
cackle would be about right and
set out to find an actor for the
job. He hadn't gone far before
he found a natural-Ed Wynn, the
Perfect Fool of show business.
Easily Recognizable.
Then while Wynn clowned on
a sound stage recording the Hat
ter's dialogue, Disney had an art
ist look on. The artist was to Wis
ualize, then draw. a creature from
whom such idiocy would logically
emanate.
Well. the artist could think of
no better type than Wynn himself.
The result on the screen is an
easily recognizable caricature of
the comic, face, figure and f1uttery
hands.
The best-known example of this
backward casting was in "Pinoc-
chic" The old wood carver who
whitfield the puppet boy was a
