Mrs. S. C. Lawrence and Mrs. R.

M. Richards. members of the Butte union who had neen absent from the meetings for several months, were welcomed. The recording secretary. Mrs.

Wil liam K. Seward, received the following Tooa ror thought" from the national Woman's Christian Temperance union headquarters: "All things are said to go by com parison. A basis of comparison does at least provide a starting point from which appreciation may be reached concerning a subject with which there has been no acquaintance. And so by way of comparison the commissioner of education is offering these fig. ures: "In 1920 the people of the United States spent for luxuries $22,700,000, more than twenty-two times as much as was spent for the whole educational program of the nation.

Of this im mense sum devoted to the purchase of non-essentials, $800,000,000 went for cigarettes, $510,000,000 for cigars and $800,000,000 for toabcco and snuff, an immense sum to be expended for ma terials to be lost in smoke. Chewing gun absorbed $54,000,000 of the na tion's money, ice cream $250,000,000. and face' powder and other cosmetics and perfume, $750,000,000. "There are items in the cash account of the general public that will bear scrutiny with useful result if there is determination to cut from it even a part of the waste expense and to apply the saving to something constructive. In any event, it is not amiss to know that the nation spends for things that nobody needs, things whose effect is at best dubious, more than twenty times as much as is provided by the tax levy for the education of the youth of the land to make them useful and ef fective citizens."

In this audience are women with strange headdresses oi saffron and vermilion, black and primrose yellow. The babies are numerous and resolute.

There are old men with long white beards and grandmothers sitting bent over in their shawls. The inquietude and despondency of the Rembrandt faces lighten as darkness falls, for that, on certain festal evenings of the week, is the hour of the Ellis island movie show. It is not a very jolly experience for immigrants passing through the island if they meet delays, but aided by Com missioner Wallis. John Sumner, the is land man; the national- boards of review of motion pictures, and a num ber of kindly and obliging motion picture companies, the immigrant today really has a good deal of fun. They used to be locked up every afternoon at 4:30," said Mr.

Sumner, "with the sun still blazing down and with absolutely nothing to do until next morning. Naturally, they went to bed discontented and with no very pleasant feelings towards the country they'd come to. The babies cried, the mothers were tired, the fathers looked mad. But watch them filing out tonight after the show grins and jokes, a healthy sleepiness, singing, even." It was in November that Commissioner Wallis, aided by the decided to try what he could do to make the evenings of his charges more cheerful. That was the time when they put on the industrial, scenic and American city films only, in the effort with different aspects of our land and life.

The international audience proved to be polite and attentive but they were not gay. Educational films alone. evidently, would never turn the trick Some of the producers were approached and the case was put before them Good comedies and drama were badly needed out at Ellis island. To rent them in the regular way would cost too much. Would they be willing to contribute somei( the films on their shelves? There would be nothing in it except patriotism.

Shows for the immigrants must be entirely free. Six companies agreed to lend films for the immigrants' delight Universal an Silk Sweaters $9.75 Mrs. Bessie Mulcahey left during the week for Los Angeles where she will represent the states of Montana and Idaho at the national convention of the Fraternal Brotherhood to be held in that city June 27 to 29.

Beth's Confidential Mail All letters intended tot publication in this department should be addressed "Beth," care Butte Miner, and should be mailed so that they may be received not later than Wednesday of each week. Dear Beth: As I am in doubt con cerning a certain young man whom 1 am very much in love with, I am tak- ng this opportunity in asking your advice. About one year ago I met this young man and he took me out very seldom. But in the last several months he has taken me out more. Sometimes five or six days will slip by and I never see him and he doesn't call me up.

Now Beth if I get lonesome, should I call him up and ask him to come and see me or is it wrong to do so. When I work nights should I ask or call him up to take me home? BLONDIE. Blondie: However much you may want to see the young man on the nights on which you are lonesome, I would not advise you to call him up. unless you want to cheapen yourself in his estimation. The modern girl who works nights can usually manage to get home safely unescorted.

But of course.it would be very nice if he should ask to accompany you home. BETH. Dear I am 18 and am in love with a young man" the same 'age. I have known him since I was, a child. But for the last six months I have, been going out with him.

have given up all my other boy friends because I like him better. Now Beth his mother objects to his going out with young girls. But he told me not to worry about it. Please alvlse me what to do. 5 RCTH.

Ruth: You plight, win his mother over by being tactful and nice about it. I should think a mother would be glad to have her son go out with a nice girl whom he has known all his life. Of course it may be she feels he cannot afford to spend money on you. Is that it? BETH. Dear Some weeks ago I attended a party held at a fellow's house whom I had not seen for some years back.

He saw me home that night and upon my invitation attended a party held at my house the following Sunday. During the party he showed great Interest in me and promised upon leaving to call me up which he has never done. What would you advise me to do. as I am fond of this fellow and constantly think of him. BROKENHEARTED MARG.

Marg: You've done all' a young lady can do, really Marg. If he has your number and'he does not call up he Just naturally must not have the desire to call so you would better have the broken heart mended quickly by some other young man. Mabelle: Perhaps the fault lies with you. Think less of yourself, more of others. Be bright, cheerful, happy and attractive and friends will gravitate to you as iron is drown to a magnet Friendship involves giving and sacri lice, too.

Possibly you have been too isn't where you live; it's -what you are," a says Harold MacGrath in bis new romance, The Pagan Madonna. "Perhaps you are one of those whose lives are hound hy neighborly interests. Imaginatively, you never seek what lies under a gorgeous sun-Bet; you are never stirred by any longing to investigate the ends of rainbows. You are more concerned by what your neighbor does every day than by what he might do if he were suddenly spun, whirled, jolted out of his poky orbit." The blank door of an empty house never intrigues you; you enter blind alleys without thrilling in the least; you hear a cry in the night and impute it to some marauding torn. Lord, what a life! And yet every move you make is governed by chance the Blind Madonna of the Paean as the great advent urer, Stevenson, called it.

"You never ston to consider that it is only Dy chance that you leave home and ar rive at the office alive millions and millions of you ttoor old stick-in-the- muds! Because this or that hasn't happened to you, you can't be made to believe that it might have happened to someone else. What's a wood fire to you but a shin wanner? And how you hate to walk alone "VOICE OF THE WESTERN WIJTO." Voice of the western wind! Thou slngest from afar. Rich with the music of a land Where all my memories are; But in thy song I only hear The echo of a tone That fell divinely on my ear In days forever flown. Star of the western sky! Thou beamest from afar. With lustre caught from eyes I knew Whose orbs were each a starf- But, oh, those orbs too widely bright No more eclipse thine own.

And never shall I find the light days forever flown! Edmund Clarence Stedman (1833 1908). Linen Shower. Mrs. E. R.

Probably not more than one or wo in that audience of many hundreds can read the English captions, but heroes, heroines and villains are uni and plots well, they can usually be reccgnized. Comedies, beyond doubt, are the plays preferred.

Chaplin and Arbuckle are welcomed blissfully; the cartoonist's cats and dogs are sources of rapture. But the melodrama villain is hissed to his heart's content and the hero applauded.

Alkali in Soap Bad for the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mul sified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless).

and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls of mulsified will cleanse the hair and scalp thor oughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.

You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, its very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mul- smed.

Alice: Beth can no longer undertake to answer letters outside of these columns. You are missing much if you neglect the interesting folk in the real world about you to spend all of your time with those in the world of books.

Pretty eyes and hair are a pretty flimsy foundation upon which to base a life partnership. I think that you know yourself which one you are most willing to give up.

You are young, but not too young to marry. However, I wouldn't advise you to take this important step just to have a home or to get away from distasteful surroundings. Dear Beth: I am a girl of 18 and there is a young man of 25 who. takes me out riding quite often. He comes to see me often, too, but has never spoken any word of love.

Dear Beth, do you think he is in love with me? I am madly in love with him. MADGE. Madge: If the young man comes to see you and takes you riding frequently he must like you at least fairly well If he loves you he will doubtless tell you about it in good time. In the meantime there is nothing to do but continue to be sweet and attractive and wait.

Betty: There is no age limit for falling in love or falling out. I think any woman can school herself not to betray her feelings so you needn't fear that you will disclose your sentiment for this young man. I do not think that you would have much respect for yourself if you would let him kiss you if you are not engaged.
