W. Softley has retired from the firm of Murphy-Softley company, 60 West Park street. His retirement becomes effective today, he having no connected with merchandising in Butte. Mr. Softley's first connection in Butte was with the Hennessy company, where he remained for six years, making a reputation as a window display artist that attracted attention frequently in national advertising and display circles. He became one of the partners in Murphy-Softley's, which took over the shop known as Green's on West Park. Some time ago Mr. Softley began experimenting in gruduce a polish for shoes and other leather articles, which applied (slightly) varnished surface. A short time ago he concluded that he had discovered the required polish. The first satisfactory test came in one of the best Butte hotels and so satisfactory was the reception of the new polish there that Mr. Softley considered it was worthy of wider marketing. He already has preliminary plans formulated for the marketing of his product, which he expects eventually to make its appearance in other cities of the country. --- # BUTTE WILLING TO THAW OUT A LITTLE ## Third Day of Cold Wave Expected to Finish. Not So Cold Today. The storm is passed, and Butte, following three days of weather that has been zero and below zero, is prepared to emerge slowly from the effects of the most discomfort cold days it has experienced in four years. It was said yesterday, after the advent of the cold wave, that a break would come, should come eventually soon. It is now here. The mercury has not altogether settled to a point where comfort is not exercised but it will descend lower than 10 degrees. Two o'clock yesterday was the time recorded for the 24 hours ended at 8 o'clock this morning. The maximum was 20 degrees last night, and the same length of time was one point under 0 (the previous day). It means that the maximum for the 24 hours was 20 degrees. This was the first time of going above 18 since Saturday. Warmer temperature prevails in the early afternoon yesterday. Following the daily cold at three o'clock the thermometer to 17 degrees below, a reading not recorded here before during the present cold spell. A minimum of 16 below was recorded. At 8 o'clock the mercury stood at 3 degrees and continued rising until at 2 o'clock the thermometer registered the weather bureau of five below. The official cold at 8 o'clock yesterday morning was five below. The weather office announced a temperature of six degrees at 8 o'clock and the thermometer dropped less than one degree to seven below at 9 p.m., when it registered 11 below. "Not quite 40 degrees 'weather' is coming," said a man from the Helena weather bureau. There is a record of 47 degrees of cold within 24 hours, which would materially help Butte getting over the cold spell sooner. Although the cold wave appears to be passing now with all dispatch, there are still a number of places that feel a lowering temperature over that previous day. Miles City was 12 degrees below Monday, 19 below Sunday, while Havre, the coldest point in the northern tier recorded 22 below on Sunday and Great Falls, 30 degrees colder yesterday. Yellowstone Park at Mammoth baths was below Monday, recorded only 16 below yesterday. Butte temperature reading shows it as detailed. During the 70 hours Butte was in the grips of a severe cold wave and felt a lowering temperature each day until yesterday afternoon. Temperature readings from the weather bureau for stations in the state at 8 o'clock yesterday morning follow: Butte......14 below Helena......14 below Missoula......14 below Livingston......14 below Miles City......14 below Canyon Ferry......24 below Glasgow......20 below Boulder......22 below Havre......22 below Great Falls......17 below --- # LITTLE DUSKY ROSE IS WAIF NO LONGER Calm settled over the personnel of Butte's hospital, public health nurses and the police yesterday, when a little colored girl baby, left at the hospital a week ago and whose parentage was a mystery, acquired a mother to watch over her child. The little baby was taken to the hospital this Sunday night in the belief that it was ill. A nurse had tended to the child, and the porch nurse provided a crib, placed the baby in it, and went about her duties. About an hour later the nurse came back and left, but the black-eyed, curly-haired, laughing Dusky Rose was gone. The mother appeared at the hospital on Monday morning and asked for the child. Nurses had imagined that they believed the stories told to her while she had been away from the baby and she desired to look proper care while the child apparently was sick. She asked that the little one be left with the mother, who would look after her properly now. Meanwhile nurses on the round remarked to the mother's attention to the people gazing in admiration at the cooing little infant below the reception. In the early hours following, one and two little tots of white silk have stayed by and played with her, and she still eight-month-old baby. --- ## Column 3 # COLLECT CARDS OF VACCINATION ## School Principals Today to Start Making Record of All Presented. When Butte schools reopen this morning after the Christmas holidays, the principals will be permitted to enter their classrooms whether or not they present certificates of vaccination. The following statement was issued: "We will collect all vaccination certificates that are presented by pupils this morning," said Supt. A. H. Donohue, "but we cannot compel vaccination. The children will be permitted to enter school, and the certificates received will be gathered by the officials to collect and record these certificates as long as they are submitted by the pupils." "If people were to avoid becoming alarmed over the smallpox situation as it applies to the public schools, I believe we will go through this without any trouble," he added. For the first time the officers of the city schools intend to permit children to return to school without a requirement that they present a successful vaccination, as ordered by the local board of health. The state has declined to state, saying instead: "Compulsory vaccination is not prescribed by the laws of Montana, unless a reasonable peril is ordered by constituted authority." Supt. W. M. Tyrrell Saturday issued a restraining order in the case from the court, allowing children to enter school today without a certificate of vaccination. The order is daily until Jan. 7, when a hearing will be heard before a petition for a permanent injunction. Regular sessions will be resumed today in the public schools, between hours of 4 and 6 p. m., and will continue for the remainder of this week. After Saturday night the free clinic will be closed. Following is the number of the number of school children who have been vaccinated at the free clinics: Dr. J. Donohue, county health officer: Several hundred pupils who otherwise have taken advantage of the free clinics.

D. C. Harvey is the new president. Aside from Committee chairman will be installed. The motto of the club for 1924 will be announced. New Year's greetings sent out by the club read: "Now that the clock continues to make a lot of New Year resolves, you can make as many as you wish but one and let that be 165 days of attendance at Kiwanis." --- # BUT LITTLE TROUBLE REPORTED ON HOLIDAY Butte passed one of its quietest New Year's in history as the result of the strict vigil maintained by police throughout the holiday. Sergeant John A. survey of the police blotter showed that in 1924 to the new year, only — More that year more than 25 men were locked up by the police on New Year's Day. One of these who had been hooked last evening from two hours following the midnight singing were charged with disturbance of peace and public intoxicance. Two others in a similar state were arrested as liquid dissenters. One man was locked on a slight charge. --- # STOLEN TAXICAB IS LOCATED IN CITY Butte police received an order found yesterday morning by Officer D. J. Connors, 4151 front Floral Park boulevard, directing him to drive a party to Helena. While driving the other man, while debating with one member, the car was taken from his hands and driven away at high speed. The men in the party who captured the cab, and who drove it off, were arrested when they returned. The car was also taken into custody Monday night after it had been driven over the line into Montana territory. --- ## Column 4 # HOME DESTROYED BY RAPID FLAMES ## Volunteers Give Different Versions of Outbreak in South Side House. Fast-spreading flames, which spurted out suddenly, razed the house of D. J. Skrumis, 4611 Floral Park boulevard, shortly after 3 o'clock last night about five blocks away. An overheated stove might have started the fire. The interior of the house, which had five large rooms in the upper floors, was burned and gutted, the house being only an hour or so old. The damage was close to $1,400, according to Skrumis, who arrived from uptown while the blaze was at its height. The place was insured for about three-fourths of it. The fire was reported by one Albert Mitchell, who was waiting for a car, saw fire on the large road. He notified residents near by and in a few minutes half a dozen men had smashed windows and entered the room in an attempt to quell the fire. Two schoolboys, Benson, a pupil at the high school, and Carl Werner, were inside for a number of minutes and carried some of the furniture to the street, but the flames spread so rapidly little could be saved. There is a belief that the whole affair was a burglary. Many of the boxes were placed on horses on each side of the street. The sparks were carried in three directions and the firemen, arriving when the fire had toppled the burning walls to avoid danger, did not have much to work with. The Skrumis family was not on the scene while the fire was at its height, and a policeman ordered an investigation of possible causes. Members of the family had left the house about an hour before and, according to the stories told by the family, one member and some of the people to arrive at the fire stated that the stove was redbot when they entered the house and that they believed the blaze originated around its cellulitis. The fire followed two burglaries at the Skrumis residence. In citing the misfortunes of the week, he stated that shortly before the fire his house was entered and about $150 worth of stolen goods stolen. --- ## Column 5 # Central Theatres *Butte's Favorite Playhouses* ## BIG # Ponjola **BROTHER** With Anna Q.
