Cleaners Win From
Young Workers in
Basket Ball Game

DETROIT, Feb. 3.-The Young
Workers and Students Club basket
ball team lost strenuous two extra
period game to the Wild Cleaners.
The "Y's went into the fourth
period with a seven point lead but
were unable to hold the margin. With
five seconds to play Tideringten of the
Wilds, sank the tying shot from the
sideline, making the score 20 all.
The Cleaners scored first in the
extra play, but the "Y's" came back
and sank one to end up the period. In
the second extra period, the fast tir-
ing "Y's" were handicapped by the
lack of substitutes and lost the YER
dict 35 to 81.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-11-23

The educational committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Society to-
day issued a warning to parents to
give stricter attention to the health
of their daughters.
Three main causes are listed for the
increase:
Insufficient sleep. Young married
women attempting to hold down an
office job and do housework at home
2-Lack of nutritious food. There
is little energy for a growing girl
in fried cake and cup of coffee for
breakfast.
3-Light summer clothing has its
advantages, but in winter months the
average Minnesota girl is insuficiently
dressed to play out of doors.
What are the factors leading to
the high death rate of our growing
girls?" asks the bulletin of the Min
nesota State Medical Association. 1.-THE
answer to this question is neither
simple nor is it certain we have a
complete and correct answer.
Probably the most important cause

COMPULSORY INSURANCE FAILS
AS CURE.

The Massachusetts, compulsory auto
mobile liability insurance experiment
has apparently proven that this theory
of preventing accidents and protect
ing the injured, is, in practice, not the
success anticipated.
There must be some new plan form
ulated for restraining the reckless
driver, that will at the same time not
impose a serious burden on the care
full operator of motor vehicle.
In Massachusetts, insurance rates for
next year must be appreciably raised.
The companies have been losing money
partly because of faxed claims, ex-
orbitant verdicts by irresponsible Jurles
and undesirable risks, and partly be-
cause accidents have not declined. In
some sections of the state they have
even increased.
There were thousands more claims
pressed than accidents recorded. I'm
Scrupulous lawyers have taken advan-
tage of the law to get unjust settle
ments for equally INSCRIPTIONS clients.
The courts have become chaotic with
disputed cases.
1t would seem as if an adequate traf-
fic squad, rigidly enforcing traffic laws,
is the most successful way to prevent
accidents There has been too much
official laxity in the matter of reckless
and fast driving Compulsory insur-
ance or any other measure of the same
nature, must always be burden in
stead of a cure. 1t is an unfortunate
human characteristic that the reckless
and irresponsible will not become care
full out of regard for an insurance
company which they know will pay the
bills occaSioned by their careleSSneSS

ROAD BUILDING BEHIND
VEHICLE REGISTRATION.

Since the Inauguration of the fed
eral aid highway system in 1918 the
United States has spent Sel3,9a2, 600
on the road building by the American
Automobile association.
The government road expenditures
approximate SO cents annually for
each member of the population. While
the sum represents less than the
amount spent each year for tires, the
statement declares, it has done more
than anything else to bring national
prosperity.
The federal aid policy is now an
established part of the governmental
policy, the report states, and mem
bers of congress are unanimous in sup
port of the program.
1.-The report reads in part:
However, with nearly $25,000,000
motor vehicles registered in the United
States, and automotive production at
its highest peak, road building is not
keeping pace with the increase in reg
iStration.
"Since 1918 motorists as class have
paid the federal government in the
form of excise taxes on automobiles
and parts, the sum total of approx
mately $1,100,000,O00.
"This means that the government
has spent just little more than SO
per cent of the amount of motor We
hicle revenue paid by the motorists as
a class to the treasury department.
At this rate the government still owes
the motorists approximately $780,
100000"

TAX THE LOAFER.

Theoretically, the perfect tax would
be a tax on inaction. The proper man
to tax would be the loafer, not the
worker; idle land, not used land; in
active capital, not active capital; lack
of enterprise, not enterprise.
Such tax would not be practical,
but it would be just tax.
Our present taxes are based on an
opposite theory.
We tax thrift, action, capital, enter
prise.
We levy taxes in proportion to ability
to pay, which means that the harder
a man works, the more we tax him;
the more thrifty he becomes, the more
we soak him; the more efficient he
grows; the more we knock him down.
If man saves his money and buys
a house, he is taxed; if he wastes his
money in extravagant living, he is
not taxed.
None of our taxes encourage produc-
ton by the simple process OF discour-
aging idleness, shiftlessness, ineffi-
cheney.

neater job of holding the race.-Fort

POWER AND PROSPERITY.

Industry throughout the United
States has been developed to its pres
ent high efficiency not because Amer
lean workers work longer hours, but
because we are making larger use
of power in the factory, on the farm,
and in the home, than any other ma
ton, according to DR.. George Otis
Smith, Director Of Geological Survey,
United States Department of Com
merce.
I'VE have been living in a second in
dustrial revolution" says DR.. Smith.
Under our eyes electricity has been
applied to both old and new tasks The
list of indoor appliances now operated
by electric current runs down the al
phabet from adding machines to waffle
irons, and the even longer list of out
of-door tasks ranges from animal
currying to wood-sawing.
1.-The American secret of present
prosperity is, in large part, found in
the simple fact that the American
workman has more power at his elbow
than any other workman in the world"

BILE might. Bureaucracy is ever de-
sirouS of spreading its influence and
its power. You cannot extend the
daily working life of people without
at the same time making it the master
of the peoples souls and thoughts.
Every expansion of Government in
business means that Government in
order to protect itself from the politi-
cal consequences of it's errors and
wrongs, is driven irresistibly without
peace to greater and greater control
of the nations press and platform.
Free speech does not live many hours
after free industry and free COM
merce die.
1T is a false liberalism that inter-
pretS itself into the Government oper-
alton of commercial business. Every
step of bureaucratizing of the bust
ness of our country poisons the very
roots of Hberalism-that is, political
equality, free speech, free assembly,
free press and equality of opportunity.
1t is the road not to more liberty but
to less liberty. Liberalism should be
found not striving to spread bureau
cracy but striving to set bounds to it.
True liberalism seeks all legitimate
freedom, first in the confident belief
that without such freedom the pursuit
of all other blessings and benefits is
vain. That belief is the foundation
of all American progress, political as
well as economic.
Liberalism is force truly of the
spirit, a force proceeding from the
deep realization that economic free
dom cannot be sacrificed if political
freedom is to be preserved. Even if
governmental conduct of business
could give us more efficiency instead OF
less efficiency, the fundamental OBJ
lection to it would remain unaltered
and undated. 1t would destroy poll
teal equality. 1t would increase rath-
er than decrease abuse and corrup-
ton. 1t would stiflle initiative and
invention. 1t would undermine the de-
yJlopment of leadership. 1t would
cramp and cripple the mental and
| spiritual energies of our people. II
would extinguish equality and oppor.
tunity. 1t would dry up the spirit OF
liberty and progress. For these rea-
sons primarily it must be resisted. Fol
hundred and fifty years liberalism
has found it's true spirit in the Ameri-
can system, not in the European sys-
| TENS"

LET'S PROTECT OUR WAGE
FARMERS.

1.-THE tariff on sugar is very i'm
portant item to the Black Hills and it
will increase with the development of
new beet growing territory in and
about the Belle Fourche irrigation pro-
ject and the Rapid Valley. All con-
tracts with beet growers in the past
have been based on the probable price
that will prevail in the American
market when it is placed on sale by
the mill owners. These contracts
name minimum payment per ton for
the beets, and have schedule attach
ed which guarantees the grower addi-
tional sums dependent upon what the
finished product eventually brings,
says the Deadwood, South Dakota,
Pioneer Times.
A tariff sufficient to equalize produc-
ton costs in the United States and
foreign Sugar-producing countries, is
an all-important factor in bringing
prosperity not only to beet growers in
South Dakota but in many other states
as well and in preventing foreign mon
opolization of necessary commodity
If the tariff were abolished, foreign
sugar manufacturers could place sugar
on our market at prices which our
home producers (who pay wages COM
mensurate with our standard of Iving)
could never meet Hundreds of other
American industries are in the same
position.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

Mankind has a new foot disease to
fret and worry about. Discovery has
been made that considerable percen-
tage of foot troubles is due to ring
worm, disease common for centuries
on the hands of many people. Within
recent years it has become trouble
some foot disease.
The educational committee of the
State Medical Association in issuing
precautions against this spreading
foot disease says that it approves the
statement just issued by the United
States Public Health service indicating
that the disease is being spread by
club house life and the use of the
common swimming pool.
The disease rs remarkably fire.
quent, and it is probably that at least
one-half of all adults suffer from it
at some time" says the bulletin.
Almost everyone who uses a SWIM
ming pool, golf club, an athletic
club or any place where there is
common dressing room has the infec-
ton upon his feet. 1t is highly prob
able that the development OF club life,
the great increase in the number OF
swimming pools, and probably the
general tendency of the American
public to spend certain amount of
time in hotels, is largely responsible
for the increase in this disease
The bulletin points out that ring
worm of the hands and feet is caused
by vegetable parasite which is a
distant cousin of the well-known
mould that grows upon stale bread
In its miideSt form the disease exists
as either a little cracking or a little
scaling between the toes. In many in
stances the So-called soft corn is
really due entirely to infection with
ringworm parasites. Other common
types are those in which there are
either few or many blisters, diffuse
scaly eruption and, lastly, wart-like
growthS. Any portion of the hands
or feet may show one of these erup-
tons. Rarely they may extend as higr
as the elbows or knees. When the
bliSters break, fluid always escapes to
the surface and there is a wet oozing
surface that usually becomes covered
with scabs. Itching is frequently in
tense.
Any type of person can be affected,
whether well or i'll. Food has moth
ing to do with the disease. Even the
much talked of acidosis can hardly
be credited to be the cause. The di-
sease is much more prevalent during
hot spells. Any occupation that en-
tails long continued heating of the
feet may be predisposing cause or
may aggravate an attack. Hot floors
are bad. Feet should not be kept
upon radiator.
The disease is usually acquired by
walking barefooted Bath mats are
justly blamed, and it is probable that
rigworm can be acquired from them

EXTENSIVE RESEARCH PROJECT
ED BY OIL INDUSTRY.

During the coming year the petro-
leum industry is to conduct one of the
most extensive research programs in
its history
Thirty fellowships, in II universities
and government laboratories, are to be
awarded. Inauguration Of the 1928-29
program marked the start of the third
year Of organized investigation.
The various projects cover many
different phases Of the industry. Be
ginning with the origin of oil and the
fundamentals of discovery of oil de-
posits and their working, they include
such important topics as the sub
stances present in, and the chemical
properties of crude petroleum
The oil industry is yet, contrary to
the common belief, somewhat in its in
fancy. The tremendous progress of
the past few years has far from ex-
hausted the possibilities. Scientific
knowledge of petroleum is still ele-
mental

MINING INDUSTRY MAKES OUT.
STANDING RECORD.

Copper has been outstanding in the
American economic situation this year,
according to the Index, as showing a
more marked improvement than any
other major industry.
Demand, both foreign and domestic,
has increased. Prices for the metal
have, on the average, been consistent
and stable, and surplus stocks, that
have marred the induStry'S record on
some past occasions, have been ma
terially reduced.
The entire metal mining industry,
over a period of years, has been forg-
ing steadily ahead until today it holds
new and enviable position in our
economic structure. And the growing
success of the industry in coping with
the serious problems resulting from
reproduction and radical price f1uc-
tuations, is good augury for the min
ing future.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-11-23

leading to this situation is a lack OF
sufficient rest. These are the years of
high school and early college work Of
out growing girls. These are also the
years in which a large number of our
girls enter industry, taking some posi-
ton that usually brings insufficient
income to clothe and feed themselves
and supply spending money. Some
times the young wage Garner must
contribute to the support Of the
family. Quite frequently she holds
two positions, doing her housework in
the early morning and in the even
ing hours. The ACREAGE girl between
the ages of IL and 20 uses up her
nervous and physical energy too
rapidly. She gets insufficient sleep
to permit the body to be restored to
normal. Gradually her vital energy
is Slapped and tuberculosis, which is
disease of those whose resistance
has been lowered may develop.
''The second important factor in
the development of tuberculosis is
nutrition The average growing girl
eats an insufficient amount of the
right food to give proper nourish-
ment to the body. If we are going to
correct the nutrition of our growing
boys and girls we must teach them to
drink milk, eat more fresh eggs, more
leafy vegetables, more cereals, more
dark bread, more fruit and in most
cases, less meat and less sweets.
1.-THE third cause may be found in
the present styles of girls clothing.
During the summer months the pres
ent mode of dress of our girls has a
distinct advantage because the body
gets more sunshine and is more con-
stantly bathed in fresh air.. but in the
winter months the average girl in
Minnesota is insufficiently dressed to
play out of door,"
