Roy Alley of Butte was a student at the University of Nebraska when General Pershing, not long out of West Point and with a couple of years' Indian fighting experience was military inspector of the university at Lincoln. Alley tells an amusing incident, showing Pershing's popularity with the undergraduates and his desire to encourage military training among the youth of the country. The cadets, inspired by Pershing, organized a company which they called \Pershing's Rifles\ in honor of the inspector. The organization still exists and is considered one of the best military companies in the middle west. One of the matters that appealed to the boys as being im- portant was that of the colors to be adopted. Most of the students were interested deeply in some certain young lady, and they wished the fem- inine objects of their devotion to wear the colors of their company. A vote was taken and sky-blue and yel- low—the United States cavalry col- ors, won out. Lieutenant Pershing was asked if he thought these colors suitable. He replied that he consid- ered it a compliment to the cavalry. A couple of the leaders then dis- cussed how they could obtain the colors to be worn on each member's uniform at dress parade the next day. Pershing solved the problem by go- ing to his closet and taking down a pair of trousers from his dress uni- form. These trousers were sky blue with a bright yellow stripe running down each leg. The cadets, with a pair of shears, cut the legs of these trousers into strips and each man pinned a strip to his uniform. These colors have been retained by the Pershing Rifles to this day. The trousers, however, were lost and gone forever. ONE IN THIRTY KILLED IN THE PRESENT WAR Roger Babson, the eminent statis- tician of Wellesley, has gathered the following figures from a close study of war casualties: Fourteen men out of every 15 so far have been safe. Under present conditions, where man power is being saved, no more than one in 30 is killed. Only one in 500 loses a limb—a chance no greater than in hazardous conditions at home. Mr. Babson's conclusions are based on the mortality figures of the French army for the full three years of war. Attention is called to the fact that present fighting not claiming anywhere near the number recorded for the first two years. SAY MONTANA STUDENTS SHOULD STUDY GEOLOGY Montana is rich in undeveloped mineral resources; it containe vast deposits of gypsum, sapphire, phos- phate, building stones, to say nothing of its gold, silver copper, lead and zinc mines, its oil and gas deposits, and contains more acreage of coal and lignite deposits than any other state in the union, according to J. P. Rowe, head of the department of ge- ology of the University of Montana. For these very substantial reasons Professor Row skys Montana students should study geology. A Joke and a IWcovery. , Mike Sullivan of Alhambra has a I standing, or rattier a hanging joke. If you go to the springs you arq like- ly to bo asked by Mike if ybu have seen the famous iron springs. You say, no, you have not had that pleas- ure. Mike then leads you out be- hind the old Sunnyside hot springs building, long since burned, and shows you a pair of iron buggy springs hanging from a pine tree. Then you go back and buy the drinks. But when Mike sprung this on Judge L. S. Olsen of Sheridan county, the judge discovered ci )se to the tree a mud volcano from which gas con- stantly escapes. Now Sullivan has sent for a gas expert and has proni- ised a \divvy\ to the judge if the field pans out. Judge Olsen says the signs are right for a big gas and oil field there. THE STATE.

Jay -Walkers Beware! Are you a jay -walker? In scores of Montana towns and cities the local police departments have introduced the silent policeman, whicii stands in the center of the cross -street and directs traffic to \pass to the right.\ \Now it is true that if all auto- mobiles and other vehicles consistent- ly keep on the right-hand side of the street and turn square corners, there will be many fewer collisions and other accidents. But in order to avoid chances for people being injur- ed on cross -streets, it is aleo neces- sary that pedestriabs de not cut across the cross -streets, but t walk around, following the linee of the sidewalks. If you cut across the street -cross- ing you ,are a jay -walker.
