DOCTOR PRAISES PRESS
FOR PUBLICITY ON HEALTH

In the opinion of DR.. Bloodgood,
eminent cancer specialist of John
Hopkins University, the newspapers of
the country are performing a splendid
public service through the publication
of health information
He declares that due to the spread
of sound information concerning the
teeth, excessive use of stimulants and
tobacco, 70 per cent of the patients
threatened with cancer now seek medi-
cal aid in time to save themselves
from actual infection. Before the
newspapers aided in disseminating
health information, less than per
cent sought medical aid in time.
The old idea that doctor should
not give out information to the press,
because of an ancient code of ethics,
was criticised by DR.. Bloodgood, who
believes that the public should be told
in plain language whatever of benefit
the medical man has to tell. StreSSing
the Importance of attention to the
teeth, the doctor said:
LET the press continue its work.
Let it advise every man and woman
over 40 to have their teeth X-rayed
twice year. Bad teeth are the most
common causes of breakdown"
Through preventive measures the
span of human life has been materially
heightened during the past few years
and it is gratifying to newspaper men
to have the commedation of such high
authority for their part in bringing
about this important result.

Airplanes will never be accepted as q
general means of comfortable travel
until larger proportion understand
the forces that support an airplane in
flight. Folks won't trust what they
do not understand
Much harm has been done to the
aviation industry by holding the air
plane before the public as a weapon
OF something to do stunts or to
set speed and endurance records, per-
form daredevil feats with, and furnish
thrills for crowds and movie. fans.
The fact that the airplane is an in
creasingly stable, safe and reliable
means of transportation and can be
used with profit as a commercial We
hicle seems to have been overlooked
in the more spectacular publicity ac-
corded the industry. The time has
come to recognize the practical pos
sibilities of aviation
1t is the purpose of the A. A. G. to
give the aspiring youth of America
serious course of instruction and ex-
periments in aviation by building
scale models and flying models of COM
mercial aircraft. All the makers of
commercial airplanes are invited to
send drawings of their planes TO Nat
ioal Headquarters where they will be
reduced to scale drawings and dis
tributed to the A. A. G. boys all over
the country for study and model
building.

FORESTRY CLUB
CLEARS HIGHWAYS
ROADS LEADING IN AND OUT OF
THE CITY CLEANED OF THE
CARS AND OTHER DEBRIS FRI
DAY-HOPED THAT THEY WILL
BE KEPT CLEAN.

Headed by members of the Ely For
eStry Club under the supervision of
Sig Olson and f1anked by members of
the Commercial Club and President
Newgord and assisted by trucks and
drivers, wrecking cars and other vehi-.
Giles, the roads leading in and out of
the city were cleaned up Friday and
today present greatly enhanced ap-
pearance.
The larger part of the work was
done on the road leading to the Lucky
Boy mine where discarded autos and
other junk had been dumped along
side of the road. Here ton after ton
of scrapped cars were moved to the
dumping ground maintained by the
city and where the stuff should have
been originally placed. The club and
their assistants were busy all day and
besides the Lucky Boy road, No. IS, 81
and several other highways where re-
fuse had been dumped, were cleaned
up.
The effect of this hard days work
is wonderful and very pleasing to the
eye. 1t is hoped that the highways
can be kept clean hereafter and that
junk will be dumped in it's proper
place. Orders for the arrest of any,
one found dumping refuse along the
roadsideS have been issued.

w. J.. Homer, state organizer for the
American Air Cadets, was in the city
several days last week and arranged
for forming branch club in this city.
The purpose of the organization is
to coordinate the Aircraft Model Clubs

ment of aviation, whose future pro-
gress can only be measured by the in
terest of the young men or boys in the
subject.
The membership fee for joining is
SOC and entities you to a membership

kit containing all the Balsa wood, am
broid, Jap tissue, piano wire, rubber,
bamboo and full plans and instructions
to build a racing model plane that will
fly. Any person may join the club but
contests are open only to those under
81 years of age.
The American Legion and CONNER
cial Club will in all probability spon-
sor the organization and will set up a
system of prizes for which to strive
The Laing Hardware Company has
volunteered to act as distributing CEN
ter for the supplies to which members
are entitled. There is supposed to be
no pecuniary gain for anyone in the
formation of the club, the whole being
in the interests of aviation Appli-
cants for charter in the A. A c..
must be men of character interested
in the welfare of the boys who make
up the membership of the club No

IF ENTITLED TO A PENSION
WRITE CONGRESSMAN PITTENGER

One of the important pieces of legis-
lation enacted into law at this session
of Congress was the bill granting GER
tain pension increases to veterans of
the Spanish American War. The legis-
lation is unusual, in view of the fact
that it was passed by the House and
the Senate over the veto of the Pres
ident. Nevertheless, it has become a
law and will be of great benefit to
many Spanish War Veter-
ans, whose organizations have long
sought to have Congress grant them
an increase in pensions.
Under the provisions of this law, in
creases are not granted automatically
but applications will have to be filed
and passed upon by the Pension Bur-
eau in each individual case.
Congressman William A. Pittenger
announced today that his Office was
prepared to supply full information
and furnish the necessary blanks to all
veterans in his district who would
write him to Room 348 House Office
Building, Washington, D. G.
He stated that it was important
that applications be made as early as
possible in order to obtin the full bene-
fits of the law.

Coming close on the heels of the fell

Some Georgia professor has figured
that the motor car is the cause Of the
large increase in divorces. He showed
that marriages were more enduring
where motor cars were less and cited
Georgia with one divorce to every II
marriages and one car to every ~
persons as compared with California
with one motor car to every three per-
sons and one divorce to every 3.3 mar
riages. A writer in the Philadelphia
Bulletin in answer explains that the
cause for most divorces in the auto in
tested states is because of the back
seat driver and says that a perceptible
drop in the divorce cases would be
noticed eff there were laws to the effect
that wives shall always sit on the
front seat with their husbands, effec-
lively gagged while the car is in
motion"

EXPECT LARGE
TOURIST SEASON
ARROWHEAD INQUIRIES PREDICT
A RECORD SEASON JUDGING
BY REQUESTS FOR INFORMA-
TON RECEIVED.

Minnesota's famous Arrowhead
country is looking forward to the
greatest tourist season in the history
of this region.
Visitors over Memorial day set
new mark for this early in the year
and officials of the Minnesota Arrow
head Association are confident that it
forecasts record tourist season for
1880. Information headquarters were
opened last week and the hotels, re-
sorts and fishing lodges are all pre-
pared to receive the great army of
tourists that will continue to grow I'M
til the peak is reached around Labor
day.
Many of the leading resorts COM
pleted extensive improvements and
additions during the winter and spring
months, in preparation for a record
season, while number have installed
luxurious accommodations and home
comforts in the heart of the Arrow
head wilderness.
Dozens of inquiries are being re-
ceived daily at the Arrowhead Associ-
alton headquarters in Duluth from
prospective tourists all over the
country, according to George A. Per-
ham, executive secretary, who is dis
tributing thousands Of maps, resort
directories, descriptive folders and
road guides. The display of the
Arrowhead resorts at the Outdoor ex-
position in Chicago last month has
brought many inquiries and letters
from motorists in Illinois and Indiana.
who are planning trips to Minnesota
this summer. In addition, many Hay
Fever sufferers are expected here
during August and September.
Radio broadcasting programs each
week are also attracting many Wis
itors to the Arrowhead region, num-
Der of inquiries have been received
from radio fans throughout the
Northwest. These programs are
broadcast over WCCO, MINNEAPOLIS
ST. Paul, and WEBC, Duluth-Superior
every Monday evening at o'clock.
Approximately 100000 pieces of adj
vertiSing literature were printed this
spring in anticipation of a record
tourist season, including $4,000 copies
of the pamphlet, "Come to the Arrow
head" and $4,000 copies of the new
Arrowhead map. These are now avail
able for distribution throughout the
country and are sent anywhere on in
quiry, Mr.. Perham said.
Because of the constantly growing
interest in the Arrowhead country, a
movement has recently been started
to extend the summer season into
September. 1t is pointed out that
fishing is good in September, while
Eastern employers would be able to
extend their vacation periods much
easier with an additional month to
divide among their workers. Many Of
the resort owners are now considering
the proposed extension of the resort
season to September 30th.
