M'Crory Urges Passage
of Bill As Means of
Ending Silt.
By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb, 29.-The
senate irrigation committee delayed
action today on its Boulder Dam
bill.
Although Chairman Phipps had
announced n vote would be taken
at today's session, nothing was done
and apparently the committee was
unable to agree.
A deadlock over certain features
Of the Swing j ohnson bin was re-
ported.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-The
Eouldcr Dam project is recommend
ed as ''the most feasible and econo-
mical means of solving the silt pro-
hlcm' Of Imperial Valley in a
statement to the house appropriat-
ions committee by S. II. McCrory,
agriculture department engineer,
made public today.
Impoupding the river behind a
huge dam, such as is proposed at
Louder CANYON lam, would help
solve the problem, he said.
"About 80 percent of the silt
would pass 200 mesh screen,
McCrory explained.
'This silt is in tho irrigation wat
or and is being deposited on the
soil. 1t makes the soil impervious
and it is getting more and more diff
fieult to get irrigation water into
soils irrigated with Colorado River
water. 1t is very important agri
culture problem.

Req. Shorts h. turned
to City By the Bishop
Popular Pastor Will Continue to
Serve Methodist Congrega- J
ton of This City.

The Northern Minnesota Meth
odist conference held at Minneapo-
lis last week is said to have been
one of the most interesting ever
held. Many of the big men OF
Methodism were on the program
and delivered inspired talks.
Bishop Locke announced the
conference appointments for the
year just before adjournment on
Monday morning. There were nc
changes in pastorates of the
churches in this section of Mime
sofa.
This means, of course, that Rev
T. B. Shorts was returned to Sauk
Centre. The congregation had
asked for his reappointment by a
unanimous vote and his retention
gives general satisfaction to the
public. Rev. S. S. Wyand, Mr.
Shorts predecessor in this city
was returned to Eveleth. The fol

"Sixty Miles An Hour" Musical
Comedy Presented by Wom-
7s ems .Auxilia-y Pleases

"Sixty Miles an Hour" the mu-
steal comedy sponsored by the
Women's Auxiliary, Robert Swift
Post and presented by local talent
at the Caughren Theatre Thursday
and Friday evenings of last week
was a credit to the organization
and those taking part.
Miss Louise Trumbull, repre-
senting the Ingram Production Co.,
directed the production very eff
ficiently. The IA principals with
out exception were happily cast.
Several were cold timers" and
still others were making their first
bow for histronic honors. The
chorus showed unusual ability
when their lack of experience and
limited training are taken into
consideration. The stage settings
were especially appropriate, the
music was snappy, and the story
was pleasing.
The entertainment was witness
ed by two fair sized and apprecia-
tive audiences. The expenses of
producing entertainments of this
sort run so high that the organiza-
lions have but little left for the
labor and worry entailed.

Tags for Visitor Autos
Is Practical Suggestion
Colorado Plan Urged As Means te
Prevent Residents of State
Evading Tax

Adoption of the Colorado sys-
tenn recurring every visitor to reg
ister his automobile when it en-.
ters the state, has been suggested
in letters received by the Mime
sofa Highway department as a
means Of curbing abuse OF the
visitors exemption.
Under the Colorado law non
residents who want to drive in the
state must obtain a license tag
with a distinctive number, to be
attached to the rear Of the car,
similar to the residents auto IL
cense. These tags are issued free
of charge and are good for ninety
DAYS. They cannot be used on
trucks or trailers.
The Minnesota law permits pri-
vate passenger cars from other
states to remain in the state ninety
days, provided permit is obtained
within ten days after they enter
the state. Since they may use the
highways ten days without per-
NIT, there is not means of ascer-
tanning which cars have been in
the state longer than that period,
and seldom any means Of collect
ing a tax from those who have been
here longer. The visitors exemp-
ton is also abused by many resi-
dents of the state who have visit
ed other states and bought licenses
there.

Old Fallacies Regarding
Cancer Is Exploded
Food or Sanitary Conditions Have
Nothing to Do With Disease,
Scientists Say

st. Paul, Sept. 26.-Neither thu
eating of Strawberries, tomatoes o.
pork have anything to do with the
causes of cancer. ii
In that simple statement the ed
vocational committee of the State
Medical Society of Minnesota to
day exploded a common supersti
ton that some of the common
foods are cancer causes. a
at is probable that as many
cases of cancer can be prevented
as cured" says the bulletin Of
the State Medical Society. ~
"Unlike most other diseases
against which science is waging or.
ganized' warfare, there are no san
itary precautions which have any
effect upon cancer. The disease
occurs without reference to the
healthfulness or the environment
The rich and poor are affected
alike. The ignorant and intelli
gent are equally victims.
"Over and over again attempts
have been made to connect thu
causation of cancer with some ar
ticle of food, either eaten to ex
cess, insufficiently eaten, or harm
full because of some property
which it was supposed to possess
or be deficient in. Many years
ago the cause of cancer was sup
posed to be tomatoes; later, pork
just now it is salt.
Elbow, then, can cancers be pre-
vented? Cancers in some loca
tons can he prevented very sim
ply. 1t is said by reliable author
tiles that cancer of the mouth ant
tongue never occur among per
sons who keep their teeth anc
mouths in good and clean condi
ton. The jagged tooth, the i'll
fitting dental plate, rubs until i
makes sore which develops intt
cancer. Sores upon the lip may
be produced by holding hot pipe
too much in one position. Can
GERS of the breast are believed tt
be due in part to stagnation Of
the natural secretions. Cancer Of
the stomach may, he induced b!
too hot food, too much strong al
cohol or any other abuse of thai
organ. Cancer Of the uterus may
result from decorations at child
birth. Skin cancers may be caused
by continual irritation of moles
The way to prevent cancers caused
in any of these ways is to avoit
the conditions which lead to them
"The cancers that kill our PEG
pie generally progress to a serious
state because little attention j!
paid to the unusual so long as i
does not disable one. Report tt
your family physician everything
unusual when you first notice it.
Then if it is cancer you can; secure
adequate relief. Delay spells
death in cancer"

.lO-YEAR-OLD GIRL
INJURED BY AUTO
Rose Marie Frederick Struck
by Car Driven bysA. Nathe,
of Wadena
COULD NOT BE AVOIDED
Feared Internal Injuries Did
Not Develop and Recovery
Is Expected 49,.

"A pitiful automobile accident
occurred on North Main street,
Sank Centre Monday evening
about six o'clock when a WHY'S
Knight Coupe driven by A. Nathe,
a Wadena, Mimi, merchant, ran
down little 10-year-old Rose Marie
Frederick in front of the Plant
residence.
The little girl was returning to
her country home from school.
The car she was in was driven by
her grandfather, living on the
Buckley-Plant farm, Spring Park.
The auto was headed north and was
parked on the east side Of the
highway. The little girls grand
mother was visiting at Plants,
who reside in the Freidlund resi-
dence, and it is presumed that Rose
was going into the house on the
other side of the street to inform
her grandmother .ney were waiting
for her. She came in front Of her
grandfather's car just as Mr..
Nathe was driving north. He
admits that he was travelling at a
quite rapid rate of speed when he
struck Rose. 1t is problernetical,
however, that he could have missed
her if he had been travelling much
slower.
She was struck by the bumper,
scooped up, thrown completely
over the left front fender of the
Willys-Knight to the street on the
other side. E
Mr.. Nathe stopped his car as
soon as possible. He was greatly
agitated, naturally, admitted his
responsibility, and rendered every
service he could. - &
An eye witness to the accident
picked the unconscious victim up
and brought her to physician.
She regained consciousness when
she was being carried into the ply
sician's office. At the time it was
feared that she had suffered intern
al injuries. Her body was bruised
all over, and her collar bone brok-
en-. :; s,eer 49,.
Rose is being cared for at the
Plant home. This Thursday morn
ing internal injuries had not de-
veloped and her complete recovery
is expected. ...
Mr.. Nathe is keeping in con-
slant touch with the condition of
his little victim and is giving every
cooperation. He is fully covered
by liability insurance.
. People, young and old, are
prone to approach the street from
the front of their cars without pay
ing proper attention as to wheth-
err cars are approaching from eth
err direction. Many accidents
would be prevented each year if
the public would assist careful
drivers in protecting life and
limb. ,-s,--
Rose Marie's mother is dead /;
her father is in North Dakota. She
makes her home with her grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick,
and attends school in this city.

hibits on display.
The State Board of Control Wis
tied the school while the fair was
on. They expressed qualification
at the splendid showing made in
every department.
! The exhibits, particularly in the
Domestic Art department would
do credit to anx of the larger
High Schools offMfnnesota. -
Perhaps the millinery and art
exhibit of which Miss Margaret
Kennedy is the supervisor, at
tracted the most attention. Dainty
wax flowers and hats in the very
latest modes predominated. Thirty

this department divided into two
classes, morning and afternoon.
The sewing class consists of 45
girls. Miss Elsies Nelson is the
supervisor. The girls had on ex-
hibition very complete assort-

the best individual dress, and Hos
|pital second. Villa cottage won the
prize for displaying the prettiest
and best made dresses.
In the baking department the
Farm cottage won first prize on
exhibit of cakes, with Van Cleve,
second. Mary Lyons won first
honors for rolls with Minnesota
second; cookies, Pioneer first and
Fairyiew second.
Darning, Lynn was first and
Mary Lyons second.
The exhibit of vegetables, can
ned goods and farm products would
have done credit to a county fair.
The education given the girls at
the institution is of an intensity
practical nature.
Miss Irene Richards is the gen.
|eral supervisor of the school work.
