ORPHEU|M PLAYERS
IN AMUSING PLAY.
MARY'S ANKLE WELL RECEIVED
BY LARGE AUDIENCE
PLAY WELL GIVEN.

The Duluth Orpheum Players who
appeared here MONDAY evening lii
the charming comedy "Mary's Ankle"
scored anouher hit with an Ely
audience which comfortably 6ileo
the Washington Auditorium. line
company appeared here two months
ago in "The Old Soak" and estab-
hshed a reputation at that time as
royal entertainers. Monday sven
ing The audience was not quite as
large as on the previous appearance
owing to lent and several other nap
penings, but the audience made up
IN enthusiasm what they lacked in
numbers.
The play was given under the
auspices of Frank Lozar Post of
the American Legion and the Lee
gion boys are to be congrat llateo
on their efforts to furnish better
class of amusement for the people
of the city. The prospects are that
the company will arrange to be here
once month or at least once every
two months, in the future and give
to the citizens of Ely the same high
class attractions furnished the
people of Duluth at the Orpheum
Theatre.
The ankle of Mary Jane Smith
was the cause of the change in the
existence of three young bachelors
one a doctor without patients; a
lawyer without clients and a fin
ancier without funds. After the
trio had pawned the landlady's par
rot for $500 and young lady had
appeared and talked them out of
$3.50 of the amount for Russian re-
lief, things looked rather blue until
an automobile accident injured the
ankle of the same young lady and
she was brought to the DIR. for at
tention and the Attorney engaged
himself to look after her damage
suit. In the meantime through a
bright thought on the part of the
flnancler, wedding invitations had
been sent out for the marriage of
the DIR. to Miss Mary Smith with
the idea of pawning the wedding
presents to he received from the
family of the doctor and especially
a tight old uncle. An armful of
gifts were received and each and
every box opened contained fsncy
lingerie for the bride and not
pawnable article in the whole lot.
Later it was found that the fcti-
tious Mary Jane Smith bore the
same name as the girl with the in
jured ankle. A disagreeable situa-
ton was cleared up in the end and
the old uncle was pried loose CT a
substantial check as wedding gift.
Not small part of the humor of
the situation was furnished by Glenn
entine, the maid, played by Adri-
enne Earle and Mrs. Merrivale, the
landlady, played by Alice de Lane.
James Billings Wallace Grigg,
Eugene Lane Miss Mento A. Everitt,
carried the main parts of the.
comedy in which also Ruth Friend,
S. Otis Gordinier and Czerny James
were cast.

CAR TAX FOR ROADS,
NOT GIFT To SPHINX.
THIS AND OTHER OBSERVA-
TIONS. BY PRESIDENT OF
STATE ASSOCIATION.

Whether true or not of Ely and
vicinity, in many places where
there is opposition to reasonable
auto taxes for good roads needs it
is generally among young men and
others buying automobiles on in
stallments and finding payments
hard to meet.
The successful man of proved
business ability seldom complains
about a few dollars of auto taxes
to speed good roads extensions.
And successful men make up the
great majority of car owners in
Minnesota, although a thousand of
them make less noise than one kick
er.
Foregoing observations are by E.
I. Winship, Owatonna, president of
the Minnesota state automobile as
ISOLATION, made this week after he
had spent month in st. Paul. He
volunteered service for good roads
and satisfactory tax legislation in
the interests of members of the
state association in particular, he
said, but those if all car owners in
the state are identical.
There is a lot of talk around
the capitol about lower taxes and
against bonds" said Mr.. Winship in
"a newspaper interview. Sometimes
it would lead one to ask if our
auto taxes were going to be a cash
offering to the Sphinx. While it is
good to hear of the prospects for
lower taxes in general, / am not
as enthusiastic about a few dollars
cut in auto taxes as / am over
more good roads which bring back
the auto tax dollar with two or
three others saved in the expense
of running cars.
People are demanding lower
taxes IS a statement often heard,
although it is generally realized
that we are paying less taxes in
proportion on our automobiles than
on our pianos, household goods and
other personal property-the good
roads are thrown in under the new
plan.
II took trouble to investigate the
grounds for that statement and
found the demand comes from a
small minority. 1t includes people
who can't really afford automobiles,
young fellows buying cars on in
stallments and others who pay no
other taxes. Some are boys only
16 years old was IS before ]
bought my first overcoat-and they
find it hard scraping to buy gas and
oil without paying taxes. / can see
why those people would like to es-
cape taxes but no good reason why
they should under the circumstances.
"On the other hand" continued
Mr.. Winship, ''the successful bust
nessman, farmer or other citizen
who has a right to own an automo-
bile seldom complains about the auto
tax or the prospect of a gas tax
being added. He remembers the
days of mud roads and knows good
roads of today are playing their
cost many times over He wants
more of them before he dies. An
extra $1,50O,000 if highway i'm
provements this year means more to
him than would So reduction in
the average auto tax, and that is
the ratio in Minnesota with more
than 100000 motor vehicles owned
here"
Mr. Winship favors the lowest
motor vehicle tax consistent with
good roads economy. He credited
state lawmakers generally with an
earnest desire to work out construct
i've legislation combining reasonable
auto taxes with better highway pro-
gress to the satisfaction Of the maj
ority of taxpayers.

TRY THIS SCHEME WHEN
YOU BEGIN A NEW PUBL

Here ara few tips on the solv-
ing of crossword puzzles. Many
readers of the Miner already may
have discovered them.
First, when you start a new puz-
zle, read through the definitions un-
til you reach one which you recog-
nize, and if you are fairly sure of
your guess, jot down the word in
the proper squares. Most puzzles
contain several words which appear
again and again-words such as
emu, boa, "ai", "ra", and sew
eral others whose meanings are SO
limited that it makes variation in
definitions almost impossible. Con-
sequently, if you go through the en-
tire list, you will find quite few
words at the beginning which will

public through hta columns of The

will do away with much of the loose

give you a good start.
Another thing to be careful of is

give you a good start.
Another thing to be caref ul of is
the proper Interpretation of defni-
tons. Many words have several
meanings or shades of meanings,
which are likely to give the solver a
wrong impression. Sometimes the
word may be used as either a verb,
or a noun, but the definitions, of
course, will give only one meaning.
For instance, think of the many
ways of defining each of the follow
ing words; mop, heat, air, run, view,
drop, set.
Of course, there are no set rules
for this fascinating game; perhaps
that is one reason for its popu-
iarity. but in any event these sug-
gestions may help you through a
tough puzzle. Turn to the one in
today's paper and see how long it
takes you to solve it.
