Montana Sequoias.


When we speak of sequoias we
naturally think of California. Mon
tana has petrified sequoia forests
found extensively on the Gallatin
and Alsaroka National Forests north
of Yellowstone National Park.
About a 100,000,00O years ago,
great sequoias stood in stately for
nation on ground which is now in
the State of Montana. Some of the
trees had a trunk diameter of 10
feet and a height of from 250-3O0
feet. Today they are stones, their
fossilized trunks standing in the
same position as they grew. Trunk
rings indicate some of the trees
were $50 years old.
After the trees were buried,
ground water carrying silica in solu-
ton soaked into and filled the wood
pores eventually replacing all the
wood cells.
There were pine and spruce neigh
bors, also some hardwoods like oaks,
buckhorns and sycamores, but the
greater number of trees in this
forest were the sequoias. Montana
can well boast of her forests of giant
Sequolas, for there is ample proof
visible today. Due to the presence
OF a large amount of tannin, these
trees were more resistant to decay
than others.
Fossils are rarely found in igneous
rocks because these are red hot
when formed and any organism in
them would be destroyed. In most
cases the fossils found in sedimen-
tary formations, such as seeds,
cones, Insects, plants and shells are
samples taken at random by rain
and wind and tossed into rivers
which carry them to where we now
ind them, solidifed, and deposited
IN lakes and deltas. Now we can see
that the principal agents of fossili-
Zatlons are streams, SwampS, lagoons,
lakes and seas.
Today, the petrified forests nodded

None of the upright trunks of

report good usage. the function OF
this column is to report good usage.
When a dictionary states that the
word chiffon is pronounced "SHIF-
un," baton is "BAT-un," and homo
genize is "HOE-moe-jen-ize," it is
not reporting good usage. Those
pronunciations are actually mispro-
nunciations, and this column is the
better reporter for giving the pro-
nunciations as ba-TON, shi-FON
and hoe-MODGE-uh-nize.
Pronunciations are not correct
simply because I say that they are
correct. They are correct because
the people have established their
correctness, just as they have estab-
lished the rules of good manners
which Emily Post reports.
Hence, there is nothing inconsis-
tent in my citing the dictionaries
when, in my opinion, they report
correctly, or in disagreeing with
them when they report incorrectly.

Gren on Bridge

Numerical superiority is not al
ways the determining factor in
making the choice between two
suits in the selection of trump.
We have from time to time OBJ
served cases in which a four card
suit was made trump (partner hav-
ing indicated that he had four of
that suit reserving a five-carder
on the side, which provided the
necessary discards. But it is some
what rarer to witness the spectacle
of a six-card major suit, which has
been well supported by partner,
being relegated to the background
in favor of a four-card minor. But
here is the striking case:
The normal contract of six spades
was reached at most tables OF the
tournament in which this hand was
dealt. When ethe heart finese failed
and the diamond honors would not
drop, another case was charged up
to hard luck. One pair Abandoned
the quest for maximum and were
willing to accept the lower yield OF
the minor suit slam because they
felt it was safer BY so doing they
earned rather unusual top score.
North opened with one spade and
South was not tempted to make an
immediate Jump shift. Such call
should be based upon a hand worth
19 points and South had only II
in support of partner There is the
further consideration that it was
desirable to provide himself with
sufficient elbow space to show
hearts, diamonds and spades with
out getting up into the stratosphere
in an effort to describe the hand
completely.
North's rebid of two spades, while
1t holds something in reserve, is the
only call available, for the hand does
not quite measure up to the pro-
portions of a three-spade rebid.
When South showed his second
suit, North felt constrained to raise
in an effort to make up for the
previous sign-off. South now bid
five spades. This would appear to
run counter to the modern practice,
sponsored by this department, which
provides that player who mentions
three suits and also jumps, promises
a. singleton in the fourth suit. South,
however, felt that his previous bid
ding had been so conservative that
he could take the liberty of exagger-
ating in this respect.
North elected to bid the slam in
diamonds; this still left the door
open for South to return to spades.
This South declined to do, for he
held to the expectation that North'S
spades would provide discards for
Souths losers in either clubs or
hearts. In this judgment he was
vindicated. His only loser was a
trump trick.

The G,adGe Rosee4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

We have been reminded sev- eral times since noon today that if we, the people of Seward had persevered in our hopes for swimming pool, today's tragedy might have been avoided.
 It is hard to refrain from say ing, T told you so," and re- minding people that this paper, this column, and many others, including the members of the Common Council, plead with the toWnspeople for swimming pool last winter. One of the ar guments most often offered against it besides the expense was that no one had ever drowned here, and was not like ly to.
 Today there are many people furious over this needless sacri- flee. Our predictions and fears have been verified 1t HAS hap pened.
 I still believe that we are not too poverty stricken to cOntrlVe safe place for our kids to play and swim.
 Little children are fishing off the docks. Little children are playing around the small boat harbor. Little children are pad- ding in First Lake, the quarry, and Bear Lake without guards.
 If eight out of ten children in Seward at the age of twelve can really swim, 1t is only because they have learned by padding around, and from other children, not through intelligent instruc- ton.
 To me, it is gross neglect on the part of the community to iall to provide swimming and life saving instruction for both chil- dren and adults, in an area where we are practically sur rounded by water.
 Once again, 1 raise the old cry for a swimming pool. The par ents of David Shea are receiving Wholehearted sympathy from all the parents and child lovers in town. But sympathy is pretty cold comfort when it is too late.
 Bill Muir offered more than once to eXcavate any spot that could be found for a pool. There is not the slightest doubt that all the unions in town would par ticipate in building program ii one were started. Many individu- als would donate labor and money for such a project. Mayor
