A comprehensive report of the new system of road building and mainte nance In Montana under the direction of the new state highway' commission appointed by Governor Stewart was made at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Butte Rotary club today by Os car Rohn. a member of the commission. He detailed in full the objects of the commission and what they hoped to accomplish. Attorney Toni Davis, vice president, was in the chair. A guest of honor was Stuart Morrow, who found ed the first Rotary club beyond the At lantic eight years ago in the city of Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Davis opened the meeting by at tending to the general business of the organization. He then introduced Mr. Morrow, who explained how he had traveled for a few years in Ireland, England und Scotland founding spokes of the Rotary wheel in Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool and London. He has recently made a trip through various states in the west. He was given an enthusiastic reception. Proctor Barclay told of his trip to the east. A. H. Heilbronner reported progress for the entertainment com mittee. Dr. Witherspoon made an ad dress on the business of Rotary in general. Ralph Scovil brought to the attention of the members that soldiers in various camps throughout the coun try needed reading material. Mr. Sco vil and Mr. La Mont were appointed on a committee to secure reading matter mi the members and forward it to e soldier boys. Mr. Rohn spoke on the state high ly commission in reply to a ques tion: "What is beii.gr done with the money secured from licenses for auto mobiles?'* Mr. Röhn explained that approximately $250,000 would be se cured this year from this fund, which is made up of charge* of $5, $10, $15, $40 and $50, according to the size ol machine and use of it. Twenty-five per cent of the money, lie said, went hack to the county of origin, and 25 cent to the commission for special purposes. The other 60 per cent to be used by the state highway com mission in conjunction with the gov ernment funds for the same purposes He explained that the government had appropriated $80,000,000 for road build ing and maintenance, and that Mon tana's share was $1,500,000. He said that $100,000 was available the first year for Montana and $200,000 last year for Montana and $200,000 last year, and that none of this money had been used yet. Counties desiring to use this money must make up an equal amount. Under the new system of state supervision each county will hav supervisor and each district of severa counties an assistant state engineer with the state supervisor at the head of the system. He explained that the commission aimed to secure a stand ardized uniform system, which would do away with the old system of chang ing supervisors every year. Mr. Rohn claimed that under the old system supervisor was appointed for political effect every two years, and at the end of that time when he was in a posi tion to have learned something of road building, for which the country had paid, he was thrown aside, stranger named, who had to learn all over again. He gave many examples to show the superiority of the new system of road building and n tenanco In Montana over the old tem. As the closing feature of the r ing each member introduced the mem i»er on his right. This occasioned much good-natured banter which fit tingly closed a very enjoyable session UNDERTAKERS.

That seven wagonloads of spoiled food went to waste during the past months was disclosed this morning in the regular monthly report by the city heulth department. The waste is to be Investigated by the city physician, who wishes to learn whethor or not com mission men and others are deliber ately throwing food away rather than to lower prices. Five of the loads consisted of spoiled beef and pork. Two loads of vege tables were thrown away on the city dump. It has been claimed from time to time that rather than reduce prices, speculators are throwing away food stuffs. Dr. W. C. Matthews is to do' termine the truth of the claim.

COMPETENT LADT ASSISTANTS under the title of "The Tanks at the Battle of the Ancre," which are the of licial British government pictures of that famous battle on the banks of the Ancre. Great Britain exacts a 65 per cent return of receipts which is turned over to tlie War Relief fund. The "tanks" are the result of mod ern warfare—something was needed that could travel anywhere—over shell holes, through wire entanglements, over trenches and at the same time be an engine of destruction and protect its operators. The tanks, built on the principle of the "caterpillar" tractor (an American invention), were the result. These mighty land battleships are shown generously throughout the film and an excellent Idea of their terrible power Is obtained—they seem to be in - vincible. Butte people, affected by the conscription and enlistments, can see exactly how the American troops in France will be fought, fed, sheltered and cared for. The comedy, "Two Laughs," makes good a hundred times on its name. The Rialto Jazz Band, which plays during the afternoon only, is gaining a host of admirers and the prediction is that all Butte music will he "jazzed" in the near future. "The Tanks at the Battle of the Ancre'' will bo shown until Sunday.
