POWDER MAKERS DUPE WOMEN, \CO-EDS\ FIND The woman scientist, working in her laboratory, has discovered that her sister of the world of Vanity Fair has been duped. The face cream in- dorsed by Cleopatra has turned out under chemical analysis to be made of commonplace, and in some cases, injurious ingredients. Milady has all the time been applying soap and glycerine to dimpled face from a lo- tion bottle labeled with a captivating name. Women students in one of the classes in chemistry at the State uni- versity at Missoula, conducted by Prof. W. G. Bateman, have made re- cent tests of various face powders, complexion creams, skin whiteners, deodorants and depilatories. The re- sults of the analyses have brought interesting results, the students say. Some of the high priced lotions, it is found, are composed of soap and glycerine with a bit of tint and per- fume added. An analysis of samples of skin bleaches shows contents of arsenic or mercurY, or both. Many balms, creams and powders, experi- ments show, are harmless, but they are also of very little merit. AC;ID MONTANA GIRLS SCORE ,pr ratrietrinu; HIGH IN TYPING TESTS In typewriting contests conducted by Prof. A. E. Spaulding of the de- partment of business administration of the state university at Missoula, among students registered in elemen- tary typewriting last semester, Mar- jorie Frost of Missoula averaged 47.1 words a minute and Cossette Lamb of Butte 40.9 words a minute. The tests were conducted accordipg to interna- tional rules, which provide that five words shall be deducted for each mistake from the number written. Student's Work to Be Published. Howard L. Seamens, a graduate of the state college at Bozeman and now assistant in the entomology depart- ment, has received notice from the Journal of Agriculture and Research, published at Washington, D. C., that a paper prepared by him dealing with a new wheat pest has been accepted for publication. Much original_ in- vestigation was done by Mr. Seamens the past . two years, and his contri- bution to the eastern journal was il- lustrated with drawings. The name of the insect studied is the \wheat sheath miner.\ Methods otcontrol are outlined. Floweree—Neil Bannatyne, an old- time resident of this vicinity, while driving alone six miles west of Car- ter was injured in a runaway. He crawled to a deserted shack where he was found the next morning with both hands and both feet frozen. THE STATE. lielena.—When C. B. Witter of Helena, a juror in the federal court reported late, Judge Bourquifi as- sessed a fine of $1 a minute, $5 all. Dillon—The Beaverhead Commer- cial club has been reorganized with H. G. Rodgers as president, T. D. Olmsted as vice-president and George Webber as secretary. Livingston—The Northern Pacific railroad has ordered 23 new engines' for service on the Montana division. The big machines are to be delivered next August and will cost the coni- pany more than a million dollars. Glasgow—The Glasgow Clearing House association, composed of all the banks in Glasgow, the First Na- tional, Glasgow National, Milk River Valley bank, and the Farmers -Stock - Growers' bank has begun business. Butte --Montana will furnish its quota of 10 nurses to the National Red Cross in tne event of hostilities and they are ready to go according to Mrs. Mary R. Boyle, president of the Silver Bow Nurses' association. Poplar—Following repeated re- quests and finally demands that his resignation be accepted, Major C. B. Lohmiller has been succeeded as su- perintendent of the Fort Peck reser- vation by Fred A. Baker, former In- dian supervisor. .Great Falls.—Because of misun- derstanding over alleged features of the contract which on Jan. 27 settled the strike at the Royal Milling com- pany's plant, the members of the Cereal Workers' union have been called out there again. Helena.Terrance O'Donnell, who came to Montana in 1864, settling at Virginia City, is dead here, aged 72. From Virginia City he came to Hel- ena, engaging in the mercantile busi- ness. Later he was elected justice of the peace, serving many terms, Dodson—There is talk of incor- porating this town, and is is probable that a meeting will be held in the near future to consider the sUbject. The Dodson special improvement dis- trict now has a large sum of money invested in light and Water works. Great Falls.—Dr. W. F. Guy, dentist, is chaged with careless and negligent treatment that caused the death of Mrs. Lizzie Gunderson, iu an action for $10,000 damages by Ole Gunder- son. His wife died as a result of infection following Dr. Guy's treat- ment, he alleges'. Anaconda—Electrical workers em- ployed at the Washoe smelter, who went out on strike recently, have voted to return to work, provided that their former positions are open to them. The strike was due to a question of jurisdiction over the cranemen employed at the smelter, both the electrical workers' union and the mill and smeitermen's union claiming the cranemen as members. Butte --With a crew of 16 men sta- tioned at Belgrade, the Northern Pa- cific has started work on the prelim- inary survey of a double track from Logan to the Bridger mountains. The surveyors at Belgrade are running over previous surveys made from the lower end of the Gallatin valley to the mountains east of Bozeman. The double track will giye an easier grade for a distance of 33 miles and will be put in at a cost of $2,000,000. 4 A t eAk 0 ‘11 .....

A Sensible Drink for ehildreire A Su.bstantial Deverasfelor Grown -Ups \There's a Reasor; oo\ _+ -Ow A 1 WOMAN IS HMD OF AUTO CONCERN LILLIE HUMISTON, PRESIDENT OF COMPANY HOLDING 1.141 - XINGU\ AGENCY. Drove in Car From Minneapolis to Great Falls, Whoro Sho Ilas As- sisted in Establishing TWo Com- panies; Formerly Horsewoman; for 10 years Motor Enthusiast. A woman is the principal stock- holder as well as president and sec- retary-treasurer of one of the latest automobile companies to be establish- ed in Montana. This woman is Mrs. Lillie Humiston, who drove from Minneapolis last August to Great Falls in a machine of the make for which her company now holds the state agency. This trip of 1770 miles was made leisurely in 10 days along the Yellowstone route to Billings and thenee northwestward to Great Falls —through the famous Dakota bad lands' and acrose the beds of creeks whose bridges, swept away in the spring freshets, had not yet been re- placed—and for a great part of the way Mrs. Humiston was at the wheel. Mrs. Humiston's life history—and she is still a young woman—exem- plifies the vast change that has come over the hobbies of the world. She is a southerner, Worn in New Orleans and reared in Kentucky, and she has always been a horsewoman. About 10 years ago, however when the au- tomobile was generally adopted as society's mark of distinction, Mrs. Humiston tbok to motoring. Since then she has owned half a dozen cars, including a $10,000 National Racer. Drove Minute Ma.n Six It was in a Lexington Minute Man Six that Mrs. Humiston drove from Minneapolis to Great Falls—the first one of these machines to be brought into Montana, although the Lexing- ton Thoroughbred was already fairly well known in this state. Mrs. Hum- iston and her brother-in-law came with the Montana agency for the Lexington Howard Co., of Conners- ville, Ind. After being used as a demonstration car for several months the very automobile in which they made their trip across the country was sold to a priest at Cascade with- out the expenditure of a cent for re- pairs. In fact throughout the west- ward journey not a bolt had come loose nor was anything else found faulty as a result of the test. Not even was a tire punctured.- Six more sales have been made in the vicinity of Cascade as the result of the show- ing made by this demonstration car after it was sold to the clergyman. Organize Separate Company. When Mrs. Humiston arrived in Great Fella, she and her brother-in- law, C. W. Barrett, assisted in the organization of the Treasure St te Motor company, in co-operation with persons holding the state agency for the Mitchell and Allen machines. That they might give all their atten- tion to exploitation of the Lexington, however, Mrs. Humiston and Mr. Bar- retbt withdrew from 'the Treaeure State company and Organized: tlie Lexington Motor company of Great Falls. This new organiza.tion was ef- fected less than a month ago, yet several sub -agencies have already been established, in,cluding Anaconda and Cascade. An order for 26 cars has been received from Anaconda alone. In the new organization, Mrs. liumiston is the guiding spirit, al- though she leaves her manager, Mr. Barrett, and her traveling salesman, J. H. Robinson, a free hand in their respective spheres. Mr. Robinson is comparatively an old timer in the automobile business in Montana, having been associated.for five years with another Great Falls motor car company. Not lietty Greenish. Mrs. Ilumiston, who is the only woman at the head of an autothobile company in the state, and the only woman automobile dealer in the state, except for one or two instances where husband and wife are asso- ciated together in business, is not at all }Jetty Greenish. She is quite womanly—a typical southern woman, but she has a head for business. Be- cause she believes in the capabilities of the Lexington car, she insists that all her emplpyes believe in it and she will not hire anyone who does !cot meet this requirement. She appar- vitly is not much of a mechanic for she hesitates in naming the parts of a car, but she insists that when an au- tomobile can be driven 1770 miles along roads of various stages of care and neglect and is then capable of serving for several months—or until it is sold—as a demonstration car, without a cent of expecse for repairs, that car is a worthy machine.

Borlin.—The number of women employed by the German state rail- roads has reached 26,000 and is still growing. About 70 per cent of the women are telegraph and telephone operators or clerks in ticket, freight and administrative offices, but a large number perform heavy manual labor. London—Addressing a meeting in London, John Hodge, minister of la- bor, said he thought he was giving away no secret in saying that at the recent conference between represen- tatives of the entente allies, the de- termination had been arrived at to terminate the war by the end , of summer. Washington — The senate has passed a bill combined from bills in- troduced by Senators Myers and Warren to ratify and confirm lieu land selections made by Wyoming and Montana.
