] he younger set has rediscovered riddles.
For blissful hour last week, our television
set was silent, my wife could use the tele-
phone, and wet bathing suits, scuffed base
balls, and our just-housebroken cocker
pup, Scoop Cert, lay neglected on the living
room rug while our l4-year-old son,
Jonathan, and three cronies sat cross-legged
on his bed upstairs, propounding riddles
to one another.
The fact that they all seemed to know the
answers to the riddles propounded (no
great wonder, since most of them were
older than New York Central commuter
coach) didn't keep the boys from chortling
with glee as the session progressed.
By dropping few caves, l managed to
preserve for posterity the following gems
from their repertoire:
The riddles:

Six Factors At Heart Of
Hiqher Education Problem

MISSOULA-State Superintendent
of Public Instruction Harriet Miller
Wednesday night addressed the an
nual state convention of American
Association of University Women on
Montana Higher Education-Prob-
lens and Prospects.
Montana shares with the rest of
the nation the problems of increasing
enrollments and adequate financing.
The solutions depend ON. what our
citizens want and what they are will
ing to pay for" Miss Miller said.
The State Superintendent said that
an indication of prospects for higher
education in Montana could be OBJ
tanned from a statewide study of pub
lie opinion made last year by the
Governors Committee on Education
Beyond the High School.

Butte Labor Political League
Endorses Legislative Candidates

| of the former Farmer-Labor-Non
| Partisan League of depression years.
The League has been very successful
in assisting in the election of public
spirited candidates of whom we are
justly proud. After many years of in
activity, it was found that the eco
nomic conditions in the state were
going from bad to worse. Negotiable
tax measures had been passed which
put the burden of the cost of govern
ment en- these who were least able
to pay; uncalled for utility raises
were being granted which increased
the. costs of maintaining home;
court decisions which affected pay
ments of unemployment and work
mems compensation, were being
handed down. The passage of ma
tional and state restrictive labor laws,
lessening the influence of labor I'M
ions, made workers virtually econom-
ic slaves. To cap the climax, the state
Chamber of Commerce recently pre-
sented its state program which would
take away all the benefits which the
people of Montana had gained
through the past sixty or more years.
1t is for these reasons that the
Butte Labor Political League is con-
tinuing its activities to maintain our
hard won gains and make continued
progress. By presenting to the public
a slate of candidates who are pledged
to support platform which will ben
eft all the people of Montana, we
believe that this objective can be
Our candidates and plat
form will stand the closest scrutiny,
and comparison with the platform
of the State Chamber of Commerce
is invited before making your de-
cision at the polls.
