political ambitions for yourself or you
may sometime find yourself in the posi

was the only woman to win in the recent
parliamentary elections in England. She

'Not at all, it's jnst as practical as can be."
"But look at your underwear. So filmy,
so delicate! They won't last any time at all."
"Why, you goose, of course they will. I'll
just keep cn washing them in Lux."
LUX ! It's the magic word that makes it
possible for a woman to have the dainty,
delicate garments she haa longed for all her
life. And to have them for constant wear—,
not just for very special occasions.
Lux comes in clear, pure, transparent
flakes. They melt instantly in hot water,
and you whisk them into a rieb, creamy,
bubbling lather. You can dip the sheerest
fabrics up and down in this lather without
injury. You don't have to rub them at all.
The dirt just drops right out into the suds.
Do you know what ruins your dainty
underwear so quickly? It's the old-fash
ioned rub - rub - rub — rubbing cake soap
directly on fine materials, then rubbing
again to get the soap and dirt out
Today the bride can fill her trousseau
with the finest, daintifest silks and laces—
and just so long as she keeps them new
with Lux they will wear and wear.
Grocers, druggists and department stores have Lux.
C-et your packagc today. Use it for ail fine launder
ing. Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Mass.
How to wash silk underwear
Just crop a tafcSespoonful of Lax flakes into half a
bacinful of boiling or vary- hot water. Whiik into a
rich, creamy lather. Add cold water till luke-warm.
Dip tbe garment through tbe foamy lather many
times—squeeze the suds through It—do not rub. Xirma
three times in clear, luke-warm water. Squeeze the
water out — do not wring. Dry in the shade.' Whert
r.iarty dry, prcsa with a warm iron—never a hot one.
U»o Lux on anything that pure water alon«
will not harm.
LUX
Vs
for many reasons. In the first p lac»; she
is a Sinn Feiner, and none of the Sinn
Feiners chosen at the recent elections
will take their seats, their* elections be
in£ merely in protest against the British
government. The Countess Markievicz.
moreover, was convicted as one of the
leaders in the uprising of Easter. 1910,
and was sentenced to death, the sen
tence being afterward commuted to im
prisonment.
VICTORY STYLES,

Local Buyer Talks of Spring
Ideas in Garments, on Start
ing to Market.
F. K. McNeil, buyer for the ready-to
wear department of Strain Brothers left
last night to visit the fashion centers
of the east to purchase the early spring
and summer garments. Mr. McNeil ex
pects to be gone from four to five weeks.
: stopping at Chicago. Cleveland and New
York. He came to Great Falls to accept
: the position with Strain Brothers, from
Spokane, a little more than a year ago
land since coming here hau greatly ini
proved the line of goods handled in his
special department.
In speaking of his plans for the com
ing season yesterday he said:
"Having enjoyed a most prosperous
year's business in our ready-to-wear
sections and an exceptional holiday
i trade, I am now leaving to make spring
purchases of our various ready -to-wear
! sections. We look forward with the
I greatest confidence to this coming
season's business, and with our spacious
departments we are making an unusual
i preparation for increased stocks, and a
i wide assortment in all lines of women s
wearing apparel. It is rather difficult
j to forecast new spring styles and ideas,
i but I can safely say that this will be
! a season of bright, cheery colors com
j t iiier] w'th pmart chic modes. They could
j truly be tailed Victory styles. Early
1 selections will come along during Feb
j ruary and March. By that time the
season's best styles qrc more determined,
«s many of the extreme Parisian models
jhave to be reproduced and adapted for
the American woman, and about this
! date we are more sure of getting all
■the late style trends and developments.''

RELIEF CAMPAIGN
BEING SPEEDED ÜP
Every Available Effort Is Made
So That Quota of $12,500
Will Be Reached.
Men and women soliciting funds for
the Armenian Relief compaign continued
their activities relentlessly yesterday
and results are coming in satisfactorily.
Teams canvassing the business district
of the city report businessmen general
ly contribute cheerfully to this cam
paign and the women who are working
in the residential sections of Great Falls
are meeting with better encouragement.
Reports indicate the work in the sur
rounding towns and communities is go
ing on at a splendid rate and a few of
the towns are already believed to be
over the top. Neihart has gained the
distinction of being the first town re
ported over, as previously announced,
the people of that town having over
subscribed their quota a day before the
ca ipaign was scheduled to open.
Reports that 15 counties in the state
had already subscribed their quotas are
very encouraging and heartens the lo
cal solicitors so that they are carrying
on their work here with enthusiasm and
a vim that is bound to bring the city
over the top within the time limit set,
Saturday night. The committee in charge
would like to see Great Falls oversub
scribe its quota before the final day, but
of course cannot tell at this time just
whether this can be accomplished or aot.
The work will be continued today and
until the quota has been brot over the
top. Every one is asked to help. The
purpose is a worthy one in every way,
the relief of suffering due to starvation
conditions, and the committee feels as
rho it is entitled to all the encourage
ment there is. The city 's -quota is $12,
500. Every effort will be made to reach
t lus figure by Saturday. Headquarters
are at Hotel Rainbow and any one inter
ested or desiring to contribute, not hav
ing 1 been reached by a team member, is
asked to bring the donation there.
Secretary A. R. Blackstone reports
several large contributions have been re
ceived by Treasurer H. F. Lee. Mr.
Blackstone makes the following state
ment concerting the results to date and
urging men to offer their services as
solicitors:
"The Stone-« trdean-Wells company
came* thru with 100 per cent. The Mon
tana Power company's office, sub-sta
tion. street cars and power plants are
coming across nicely under the direc
tion of Mr. Wilson. Ixrais Newman wired
the secretary that the six representa
tives from Cascade county at Helena and
the senator are 100 per cent. The su
perintendent is asking for MX) buttons
for the men of the Great Northern
shops, and it js almost sure that every
man who carries a full dinner pail to
work will want to feed an Armenian !*>y
or girl for a week at tbe rate of 17
cents a day. And bo doubt many of them
will care for a child for a month at the
rate of $5.
'The First National bank heads the
list with a $150 gift. The American
Bank and Trust company and the Com
mercial bank follow with $1<>0 apiece.
One woman came in from the Leland
apartments and made her pledge at the
desk in the lobby of Hotel Rainbow for
$50. This is another gift that, will cost
something. Then there are hundreds of
citizens, all worthy to have their nathe.s
listed here, who have joined in the pro
cession with gifts of $1 up to $50. The
man who gave $40 yesterday in addition
to his own two boys will feed eight more
little children of Armenia for a month.
By his gift he has increased his family
of children from two to 10 for some
one mouth in the near future.
'"There must be many, many more
generous responses if Cascade county is
going over the top. All that Armenia
asks is that we forego a few luxuries
and give them sufficient bread to sus
tain life."

RIFLE THAT DID
DUTY IN FRANCE
A regulation Springfield rifle that was
used at Vimy Ridge by an American sol
dier and which was abandoned in No
Man's Land under circumstances that
must be left to the imagination was re
ceived yesterday by Fire Chief Trodick
from his son, Private Harry Trodick,
who is serving with the overseas forces.
The rifle came thru in excellent condi
tion and among the dozen or so men
who were at the fire station when it
was taken from its wrappings there was
not one who could not. in a measure,
visualize the part it played and the Huns
it accounted for before its owner was
compelled to relinquish his grasp upon
it.. It was a savage-looking weapon,
short of barrel, stout of stock and en
tirely business like in appearance, and is
undoubtedly the First rifle to reach <ire.at
Falls after having been actually used
against the Germar»?.
The first question that occurs to tbe
observer when he sees the rifle is, "what
became of the soldier who carried it?"
But that part of the story cannot be told
until Privat« Trodick furnishes the de
tails. He picked it up between the front
line trenches of the opposing forces
after one of the most sanguinary battles
of the war. but in the letter he .sent to
the chief he said be would give its his
tory the next time he writes.
Private Trodick tells his father that
he has a helmet and a number of other
trophies from the battlefields which he
is guarding after the same fashion be
did the trench in which he was sta
tioned prior to the signing of the ar
mistice. War relics are highly valued by
the soldiers, the private states, and un
less those who were fortunate enough
to get a souvenir stand watch over their
property, ownership is liable to be trans
ferred with only one man having been a
party to tbe transaction.

ESSEX CAR MAKES
FIRST APPEARANCE
New Light Model, From Hudson
Plant, Displayed by Power
Company.
A mystery which has been the source
of endless gossip in "inside" automobile
circles of the past two years was solved
today when W. W. Wight, manager of
T. C. Power Motor Car Co., revealed
for the first time some of the details
of the Essex which has just made its
debut in Great Falls.
"The Essex," said Mr. Wight, "is
built at the Hudson Super Six plant in
Detroit. It was produced to meet the
demand for a comfortable, light, effi
cient ear, strong enough to withstand
the hardest usage and at the same time
powerful, easy to operate, and moder
ate in price.
"Work on the Essex was begun about
two years ago behind locked doors at
the Hudson factory and for twelve
months the secret was well guarded.
Just before we entered the war the car
was ready for the market. At that time
it was generally known bv automobile
men there was a surprise in store, and,
remembering the achievements of the
Super Six, great interest was shown in
the new achievement.
"Althc Essex is called à five passenger
car. it provides proportionally as much
comfort and room as most seven pass
enger machines. Its motor, a marvel of
lightness, compactness, and speed, de
velops more than fifty horsepower altho
it is only twenty-nine inches long.
"While low in price, the Essex is
bnilt of the very finest materials and
was designed by some of the best known
engineers in America. Every detail of
its construction has withstood the most
severe tests and in the realm of com
fort, power and endurance, it will pro
vide some new surprises."

Swift & Company's
1918 Earnings
How They Affected You
During the twelve months ended Nov. 2,
1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company
transacted the largest volume of business on
the smallest margin of profit in its history.
Profits of the meat business—under regulations of
the United States Food Administration—were limited
to a maximum of 9 per cent on capital employed but
not to exceed 2 Y% cents per dollar of sales.
Swift & Company in the regulated departments
earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2.04 cents
per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest
on borrowed money and taxes. Here is how these
earnings affect you.
Live-Stock Raiser—
Swift & Company killed 14,948,000 head
of livestock, which weighed alive,
4,971,500,000 pounds.
Swift & Company made a profit of only a
fraction of a cent per pound liveweight
Consumer—
The sales of our meat departments were
4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earn
ings were less than Vi cent per pound.
The per capita consumption of meat in the United
States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased
only Swift & Company's products, he would contribute
only about 78 cents a year, or 1>2 cents a week as
profit to the company.

SMITH FINDS IT
MEETS HIS NEEDS
The enlarging s<*ope of the U. S. Em
ployment bureau is well illustrated bv
a letter received this week by the state
director from W. R. Smith, general su
perintendent of the Great Northern rail
way. An extract from the letter is given
as follows : ,
"JVish to advise that so far as tbe
operating department of the Great
Northern in the state of Montana is con
cerned you may rest a«%ured that we
will call upon you for what labor we re
quire, particularly so inasmuch as we
have found .Vour services in the past to
have been entirely satisfactory to us."
A similar letter has been recently re
ceived both from the Northern Pacific
and Milwaukee officials, indicating that
track men. train men and practically all
the operating force is recruited thru the
TT. S. bureau.
