Montana Horse Claims Kansan Letter A Fake
By TOM SHANNON
Those Montana Kiwanians still are muttering over Comanche
Jack MacDermond, president of the Lewistown, Mont. Kiwanis club, was unimpressed by Ken Coy's editorial comment in the Kansan that the stuffed horse was receiving the best of care here at the University.
"I'll bet Coy and 99.8 per cent of all the KU students never took the trouble to go see Comanche until we Montanans put in our rightful claim for the horse," he said in an interview with a Lewistown Daily News reporter.
"This is further proof of the lack of homage shown by Kansans for this gallant gelding which is famous only because it came to the Treasure state," he said.
Old Stud, a Montana horse, wrote the Daily News editor, following the example set by "The Spirit of Comanche," who wrote the Daily Kansan. He wrote: Dear Editor:
Ordinarily nothing could divert my attention from my string of mares and fillies, and the lush green grass on my home range here in Montana, but the supposed letter from Comanche in the Daily Kansan is so obviously a fake and a fraud that I must answer it.
No horse that had ever been to Montana—and particularly a smart horse like Comanche—would ever write such a letter, though a jackass might.
Any horse knows that native Montana bunch grass is lousy with vitamins and calories, and is the world's finest. Anyone who doubts this needs only to look at my personal string of Montana mares and fillies, which will turn any other stud from any other wild horse state green with envy.
As a matter of fact, everyone knows that Man of War—also known as "Big Red"—when he was winning all those races back in those eastern cities, ate nothing but native Montana hay, which was shipped him from the Little Big Horn country in Montana, where Comanche rode to fame.

It is obvious that some diabolically clever Kansasan or windjamming Jayhawk politician has taken advantage of a defenseless dead horse, trying to put words into its mouth by biking a letter from Comanche's spirit to that college paper down in hot, humid Kansas.
As a horse, who knows best the thoughts and desires of other horses, I deplore this crude forgery, and appeal to Kansans to send Comanche back to the museum on the Custer battlefield in the high, cool, glorious, and lush Montana plains.
Four Faculty Attend Medical Convention

ADSLearnsOf Big Film Ads
Advertising is the hand maiden of mass production and a chief stepping stone to our present high standard of living," Walter Fiest, field representative of the Alexander Film company, said Friday night at a meeting of Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional advertising fraternity. "It has proved that the ad demand of goods on a broad scale, rather than increasing the price, has brought an immense reduction owing to the tremendously greater distribution that has followed," he added.
"More than 9 million a year is spent by national and retail advertisers on commercial films," he said, explaining the operation of the Alexander Film company, the world's largest producer of advertising films. "In the past 32 years, the company alone has supplied more than 350,000 advertising campaigns to 27,000 theaters and television stations in all 48 states and in 16 foreign countries."
Three motion pictures describing some of the phases of movie production were shown after the talk. The meeting was the first of a series at which representatives of the television, radio, advertising and motion picture industries will be the guests of Alpha Delta Sigma.
Religious Seminar To Be Held Tuesday

Rev. Howard W. Yoder of the National Council of Churches originally was scheduled to speak but was called back to New York because of a death in his family.
For 60 years, England successfully guarded the secret of casting crucible steel, a process discovered by an English watchmaker about 1740.
New York —(U.P.)—Family pride often is to blame for a child growing up into a criminal, says one juvenile delinquent authority. The beginnings of the criminal path often can be detected in a child before he even reaches high school, says Will T. Turnblad, director of the privately supported National Probation and Parole association, and former chief probation officer of Los Angeles County.
Authority Traces Delinquency
"Parents often have too much pride to admit their child is troubled, and in need of help from such professionals as psychologists and juvenile court judges," Mr. Turnbladh said.
"Yet, treating delinquency is like treating a disease," he added. "You have to get at it when the onset. Otherwise is spread and often is fatal.
"Too often a parent will kiss off a problem with the comment, 'oh, he'll outgrow it.' Unfurunatley, he sometimes doesn't."
"John Dillinger didn't," the probation official continued. "A look at Dillinger's record shows his revenge against society stemmed from a minor run-in with authority in his teens."
Mr. Turnbladh has no fast rules for spotting beginnings of delinquency. Each child, he explains, is an individual case. His one warning to parents is:
"When a child is violently unhappy in what most of us would consider a normal home and community atmosphere, he may be headed for trouble. It is a danger sign when a child cannot adjust to authority, either at home or at school."
"I would consult professional help," he continued, "if my child—once aggressive and extroverted—suddenly turned into a quiet and withdrawn youngster. Or, if a quiet child suddenly became a bully."
Mr. Turnbladh says there is no wide spread increase in juvenile delinquency, but there is a slight growth in cases involving older children.
