Sometimes we may hear as
tronomers or others speak Of young
stars, old stars, dwarf stars and sc
on. We may wonder why one star
should be called younger than an
other, and may have other ques-
tionS.
Some astronomers have tried to
figure out how stars evolve from
youth to old age, and what hap
pens to them at last. Facts are
discovered about the universe, and
slowly the scientists put the facts
together.
At the present stage Of knowl-
edge. we can hardly say that any
thing close to q sound and COM
plete theory has been brought for
ward. Stars have existed for bil-
lions Of years, and telescopes have
been used TO study them Tor only
q few hundred years.
There are giant stars and there
are dwarfs. Others may be called
middle le-sized.
Among the giants are those
known as Betelgeuse and Antares.
Sometimes these two are called
4supergiants."
Betelgeuse Is In the constellation
lot Orion. It has about 800 times

been found that they are far less
dense than our sun.
It is figured that stars begin their
lives as red giants, changing from
red to orange, later to white and
yellow. They are hottest when
white, but are extremely hot when
yellow. Toward the end Of q stars
life, it is believed to become reddish
again, but by this time much
smaller and far denser.

heart Dbl. 4hearts Pass
Pass Dbl. All pass
This sounds fantastic, but it ac-
tually happened in today's deal.
II it needs q bit of explanation,
here's the way the play came up.
Mr.. Masters opened the king OF
clubs, which was rufed on the
board with the deuce Of hearts.
Mr.. Champion correctly decided he
had no chance for 10 tricks unless
he could ruff all four Of his losing
clubs.
Trumped With Ace.
Therefore at trick two he cashed
che ace of diamonds, led q small
diamond and ruffed it with the four
Of hearts. He led a second club and
ruffed it, then came to his hand
again with the ace Of spades and
ruffed a third club.
At this point the problem was
how to get to the closed hand again.
Mr.. Champion decided it was plain
silly to ruff another diamond low
as Mr.. Masters was almost certain
to have the king Of trumps. He
could over-ruff and return a trump.
This would take the last trump of
the board and leave MIR. Champion
with losing club.
So a diamond was led from
dummy and trumped with the ace
Of hearts. Mr.. Champion was
willing to lose q trick to the king
Of trumps-but not now.
Partner Comes Through.
The last club was led and ruffed
with dummy's last trump. Next
came the ten Of spades and Masters
was in with his queen. He returned
the king of spades and Mr.. Abel
rose to unexpected heights as he
ofen does when Mr.. Masters is his
partner.
He ruffed the good spade and led
back a high diamond. At this
point Mr.. Champion was down to
Q j 6 of hearts. Mr.. Masters last
three cards were the ace Of clubs
and the king EIGHT Of hearts.
Mr.: Champion trumped the dia-
mond with the jack Of hearts. Mr..
Masters made the fine decision not
to overtrump. He simply threw
away his ace Of clubs. He then held
king-eight Of hearts over Mr..
Champions queen-six and was
bound to win the last two tricks for
the defeat Of the contract.

And By Radio

MONTANA'S FIRST radio te1e-
phone link connecting Baker with
the isolated southeastern ranching
community of Ekalaka has been
reality for several months. now and
from present indications may well
be the forerunner of many such
systems in remote areas of the state.
Although still on an experimental
basis with both the phone company
and the federal communications
commission, it is probable that the
system will remain in operation to
replace some 35 miles of hard-to-
maintain phone lines between Baker
in Fallon county and Ekalaka in Car
ter county.
Technically described as a fre-
quency modulated, short haul"
point-to-point, microwave, radio
telephone system, the unit is very
simple in operation. The switch
board operator in Baker has only
to plug into the board as she would
for any call and the next voice she
hears is the operator at Ekalaka.
The transmitters and receivers set
up in hilltop shelters at both Baker
and Ekalaka do the work with the
help of beam-type antennaes at the
top of 35-foot-high poles. The two
stations cost about $4,000 and were
installed by the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph system to
determine, the feasibility of using
radio equipment to replace existing

out that farmers and ranchers gem
orally underestimate both the value
and cost of phone service today. A
simple two-wire line costs more than
5000 a mile, he added.
The switchboard at one time To-
Gated at the ranch but since moved
, to Willard, where the line connects
to Baker, may be moved back to the
ranch with the prospect of the radio
telephone system. This radio tele-
phone link will be installed by a
commercial telephone system and
operated on a toll basis. The only
problem in this arrangement is that
someone will be needed at the ranch
all the time to transfer calls on the
switchboard. The eventual solution
will probably be installation of an
automatic dial system, thinks Fulton,
but this is project for the future.
Such community system would
be worth while anywhere, says Full
ton, especially if some donated en-
cheering can be obtained and the
work done with off season labor.
Leadership is also necessary to the
success of such a plan. Fulton admits
that a good share of the investment
in the system now planned will have
to be charged off to community well
fare and direct benefit to the ranch.
But dependable communication is
considered cheap at almost any price
on this eastern Montana ranch.

Rural Telephone Service -.
By Barbed Wire

TELEPHONE VIA BARRED wire
at the Fulton ranch, Fallon county,
proved itself so valuable in the past
eight years that several thousand
dollars are being invested now in
construction of new poles and lines
to bring better facilities to both the
ranch and neighbors in the commu-
nifty. Radio-telephone units similar to
those used in the Baker Ekalaka
radio link may be set up at the
ranch and at Baker for the private
system being planned to serve up to
80 ranchers in the area.
Dan Fulton has been an amateur
radio operator for good many years
and often made use of this COM
munication method. A portable
transmitter in a sheep wagon made
it possible to talk with his wife (also
a licensed operator1 at the home
ranch. Then a phone line was started
using barbed wire on the range
fences. Later poles were put UP but
the wire was still the iron barbed
variety. Despite poor quality due
to the many miles Of iron wire, the
phone service proved itself worth
while time and time again.
Phones on Ranch
With eight phones on the ranch
itself, little time is wasted on use
full errands. They are placed at the
home ranch, hired hands home. mail

pasture, half way to winter sheer

camp and at the camp itself. The
phones in the pasture and some of
the others are especially valuable as
fire phones to get the jump on range
fires. And with many of the neigh
bors in on the phone line also. fires
don't go long without being spotted.
And speaking of fires, phone service
once brought the Baker fire truck
out to the ranch to protect other
buildings when a bunk house caught
fire.
Winter time airp1ane service has
often been obtained by phone calls
to Miles City. One sheepherder at
the winter camp was replaced with
another by plane during last years
hard winter. Repair parts are located
before starting out from the ranch
after them. And of course the phone
is invaluable in case of accidents or
sickness.
One of the most important things
that the phone is always used for,
according to Fulton, is to check with
the town banker on the current
livestock prices when a sale is about
to be made, Then too, telephone is
handy facility for prospective cat
tie buyers.
Value. Cost High
Just as a guess, Dan Fulton esti-
mated the value of the phone service
from ranch to town at $40 month
and probably another $40 for the
service on the ranch itself. He points
