SANDERS COUNTY INDEPENDENT -LEDGER NEW LIBERTY BATTLEPLANE BLONDES BARRED! Extra Strong Granaries t I IS SUPER -SHIP OF THE AIR OH! UNCLE SAMMY CLIMBS 10.000 FEET IN SEVEN MINUTES AND 12 SECONDS; IS MORE -- SPEEDY THAN ANY OTHER BATTLEPLANE IN USE; WASHING- TON RUMOR IS THAT CONGRESS WILL SIT ALL SUMMER AND APPROPRIATE 1881,000,000,000 FOR WAR PURPOSES; INCOME TAXES TO BE ADVANCED. Detroit. —An airplane authority recently made a flight in a Liberty hattleplane to a height of 15,000 feet. He states that the plane, carrying two men and four guns, developed 430 horsepower, and can maintain a straightaway speed of 135 miles per hour. It is more speedy than any other battleplane used in European warfare. With full fighting weight and two men, the powerful plane climbed 10,000 feet in seven minutes and 12 seconds, and made an elevation of 21,300 feet in 60 minutes. The former American record for 16,000 feet was three hours. The motor is almost entirely free from vibration at highest rates of speed, because of the angle at which its cylinders are set, but one of the big features is that it does not require oastor oil, as do other planes, ordin- ary cylinder oil serving all purposes. New Revenue Legislation It is estimated that congress, sitting continuously until next fall, 'will appropriate $31,000,000,000 for war purposes. A new revenue bill may be introduced shortly. It will provide for a revenue from taxation of about $6,000,000,000 annually. In this new legislation, income taxes will be sharply advanced, and exemptions of $1,000 and $2,000 may be lowered. Excess profit and surtaxes will be advanced sharply. New taxes will be made retroactive to cover all of 1919 fiscal year. England's Shipbuilding London—In April merchant ships with aggregate gross tonnage of 111,- 633 were completed in the yards of the United Kingdom, compared with 161,674 for March. Shipments of War Material Washington.—Shipments of war material from United States in March totaled $125,044,000, compared with $66,444,000 in February and 2114,- 856,000 in January.

Shipping Losses Paris—Official French statistics show that total shipping losses of allied and neutral nations, including accidents at sea, were 381,631 tons in April, 1918, or not much more than half the 634,686 tons in April, 1917. Uncle Sam Buys Fireworks Washington.—The war department has purchased the output of every fireworks factory in the United States to supply the army with flares and signal lights and has construct- ed a large pyrotechnic factory. Abundance of Potash New York.—Dr. H. J.

About Germany's Reserves London.—General Radcliffe, Brit- ish chief director of military opera-. Gone, says the bulk of the German re- serves is still in rear of the Somme front, and it must be assumed that the enemy's big main effort will be in that direction. Geographical gains are not the main consideration. It is rather a question of staying power. The end of the battle will come when one Bide reaches the end of its re- serves. PLEA FOR EXEMPTION BUREAUCRATS SAY FAIR-HAIR- ED GIRLS ARE TEMPERA- MENTAL MISS Maym Galwey, Speed Artist on Typewriter Keys, Lands in puttej in Peevish Mood; Then Changes', Color of Her .Hair and Starts on New Offensive. Mien Mayme Galwey, a dashing blonde who is a speed artist on a typewriter, having demonstrated her ability in a stenographic contest in Cleveland, where she won the Ohio championship for rapid typing, was back in Butte from Washington last week, with a peevish feeling concern- ing the government, although she de- clared herself to be a loyal American and out toxin the war. - Miss Galwey, as might be inferred from her name, is of Hibernian des- cent, and not at all bacckward about' expressing her sentiments. Concern- ing her experiences at the national capital, she declared herself as fol- lows: \Say what do you know about this? Blonde stenos, are barred by Uncle Sam, and when it comes to gettin' a chance to sit in at a dask down there in Washington, you might as well be a German spy as a blonde. Anywhere you go the guy that does the hirin' gives you the once over and tells you the list's full. That's what they done to me at every department, an' you can believe it or not, but I gctually stood there and seen brun- ettes walk up right after I get the turn down, and land jobs. If that ain't class legislation I'll buy you a new hat.\ She Has the Proof. \Why that seems impossible,\ said the tired Butte business man to whom Miss Galwey had applied for a Job. \I could hardly believe that such discrimination could be permit- ted—unless you had told me,\ he added hastily. BY SOUTHERN DARKIE \Impossible she snapped out. \Well read this piece I cut out of a Washington paper and see whether I'm stringing you or not.\ and she produced from a black seal leather handbag a clipping which read as fol- lows: \The blonde typewriters of Ameri- ca had reason to fidget the other morning when the government's esti- mate of them was casually set forth to the nation. It appears that the glowing tributes heretofore bestowed upon them by the weary employers of the business world have been as inaccurate as have been the exceed- ingly biased opinions of the business men's wives. \The blonde typewriter, though a joy to the eye, is a nervous, tempera- mental, and other than steady per- son, so the government has decided. \When the government underteek to pay its new, growing and splendid army, it was found necessary to hire a few acres of typewriters. Every available loft, hospital, dance hall and store in Washington was fitted out as a place in which typists might type, and so great was the volume of work that the utmost care was takea in the matter of employing help. Things had to be done accurately, quickly and continuously, and the types of typists were considered at length by persons well qualified to know a star key rattler at a glance. \Well sir, more than 3,000 typists were at work before a blonde steno- grapher was accepted. Every brun- ette had been pounding the keyboard for days before it was finally decided that the light locked element must be admitted through force of circum- stances. There were no more brun- ette typewriters out of work. Blonde Spring. Drive. \Then came the beautiful blonde spring drive. They came with blue eyes, dimples, little curls, Psyches to dizzy spells.

APPLY AT ANY POST OFFICE fir KRVICE UNDER THIS 'EMBLEM Men who wear this embleas U.S. MARINES unconvinced. They knew that all this outward dazzle did not alter the fact that every blonde cherub was as nerv- ous as a kitten and that in a burst of temperament might easily send a ma- jor general's paycheck to an obscure corporal. \But nevertheless it was necessary to employ a few of them, so as they hired the blondes they placed each ope between two brunette typists who devote themselves to tieing their own work and steadying their golden - haired companions at the first sign of hysteria or temperament. \An interested department head who is said to be susceptible to blonde charms took the trouble to inquire at the Neurological Institute in New York why this discrimination should be permitted, and he was informed that persons of light complexion us- ually are found to be less stable and composed than are persons of darkee type. It was stated further that the basis for such conclusion is of rather Indefinite nature, but it is generally credited to glandular differences in the two types.\ \Woe to Blonde.\ \Am I right?\ inquired Miss Gal- wey of the Butte business men when he had read this brief against blonde stenographers. \It would almost seem so,\ he re- plied, \but I don't mind telling you that this looks like more of this red tape to me.\ \Red what?\ inquired Miss Gal- wey. The Butte business man explained the meaning of red tape. \Listen said Miss Galwey, \you may be right or you may be wrong about that red tape stuff, but you've given me a hunch.

YOUNG MEN OF 21 REGISTER JUNE 5 INCLUDES ALL WHO HAVE AR - HIVED AT MAJORITY .DURING THE PAST YEAR Estimated That There Are 750,000 Youths Who Have Come of Age Since June 1 of Last Year; Local Boards Will Have Charge of Re- gistration in State. It is estimated that there are 7,500 youths who have arrived at the age of 21 since June 1 of last year, in Montana, and who are therefore obli- gated to register for the draft, under the law passed a few weeks ago by congress. Wednesday June 5 has been designated by the president as registration day. On that day every man in the United States who has at- tained his majority during the past year must appear at the place of re- gistration, as designated by the local draft board, and register. Few Are Exempt The only exceptions are men al- ready in the military or naval ser- vice. Special arrangements have been made whereby absentees and those too ill to appear at the regis- tration places may register by mail. But they all must register. Fail- ure to do so makes the guilty young man liable to imprisonment tor one year. And ignorance of the fact that June 5 is registration day will not be accepted as an excuse. The bur- den of informing themselves as to the place and date of registration is placed on the men themselves. Local Boards in Charge Registration will be in charge of local .boards in their respective dis- tricts. They are required to poet immediately a list of registration places. The registration places will be open from 7 o'clock the morning of June 6 until 9 o'clock that night. They will be in charge of officials of the local draft boards. June 6 has been selected as the date for registration day because it is the anniversary of the first dFaft registration day, when approximately 10,000,000 men between the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, register- ed for the draft. This registration day is only for men who have reached the age of 21 years, thus coming within the draft age since last registration day.
