MOTOR CAR CRASH
FATAL To ONE
TEACHER FATALLY INJURED IN
A CAR CRASH WEDNESDAY EVE
MING ANOTHER TOWER LADY
SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Wednesday evening when the Tower
delegation were on their way to this
city accompying their basketball team,
a crash of cars on the hill just this
side of Robinson Lake caused serious
injuries to Miss Gladys Eichman and
Miss Goldie Carlson and from the
effects of which Miss Eichman died at
the Shipman Hospital yesterday morn
ing at about 10 o'clock. Miss Carlson
is still in the hospital where she is re-
covering according to late advices.
AS near as can be aScertained there
were five cars in the jam which caused
the injuries to the young ladies. The
cars were travelling along on the some
what slippery road very close together.
Some car coming from behind wished
to pass and in passing cut in too
close on the first car in the liue and
turned it over into the ditch. Both of
the injured young ladies were riding
in the overturned car with L. Lund-
quiSt as driver. The sudden stop of
the cars affected the entire line. Supt.
Noyes of Tower who was il the rear
car with Mrs. Noyes, in order not to
run square onto the blockade, took to
the ditch. Mrs. Noyes was slightly in
jured.
No one seems to know who was the
driver of the car which hit the first
car and ditched it. Neither has the
identity of the car been established.
The remains of Miss Eichman were
prepared for burial at the Laing
Undertaking Parlors and were sent to
Springfield, Minnesota, this morning.
She was % years of age and en-
ployed as High School teacher at
Tower The widowed mother of the
unfortunate girl after being appraised
of the accident, drove from her home
and arrived here right after her
daughter had passed away. She was
accompanied by her son and nurse.
The party was on the road all night

EFFORT BEING MADE TO
CLEAR SMREKAR AND GERZIN

The Ely Junior College has made
application to the executive committee
of the Little Ten" Junior and State
Teachers College athletic board in an
effort to clear Louis ,Gerzin and Steve
Smrekar whose eligibility has been pro-
tested by the Eveleth and Virginia
Junior Colleges.
The protests are on the ground that
the two players did not wait long
enough after transferring to the Ely
Junior College before entering ath-
letics. It seems the boys enrolled in
st. Thomas last fall, did not attend
classes or participate in athletics before
returning to Ely and enrolling here.
In the second quarter they started In

FARMERS WHAT is THE MAT
TER WITH THEIR SOIL AND
SHOWS VIEWS OF SIMILAR PRO-
JECTS BEFORE AND AFTER SOIL
TREATMENT.

and others interested in soils held at
the Community Center last Friday
was well attended August Neubauer.
county agent of St. Louis county, in
sity of Minnesota, who gave those
present well rounded and instructive
talk on fertilizers. He demonstrated
his talk with photographs Of exper-
iments and actual field trials of the
various soil deficiencies and methods
by which to remedy them. It was
brought out that much of the North
eastern Minnesota soils are lacking in
lime and is particularly true of the
peat Soils He talked on practical
methods of determining the lack of
nitrates and phosphates and again
illustrated what remedies can be ap-
piled and what results can be ex-
pected.
Farmers present felt that meet
ings of this type are to the benefit Of
anyone farming in any capacity and
asked Mr. Neubauer to give date for
future meeting and at this time per-
manent organization would be estab-
lished. Mr.. Neubauer informed those
present that he would be at the White
Iron school on Saturday, March 22nd.
At this time each farmer will place his
order for the amount of fertilizer he
may deem necessary and the orders
will be pooled and purchased in car
load lots.
After the meeting the Ely Hardware
& Furniture Company furnished a
lunch and during luncheon Mr.. Neu-
bauer and Professor Nesom answered
questions put to them by the interested
farmers.
About thirty farmers representing
thirty or more farms were present
All went away feeling that the Com

"You service men will recall the fact
that the time element was paramount
in the prosecution of the war. A
weeks delay might have meant the
loss of a battle. But weeks have
heightened into years, for many of the
men who laid their health upon the
altar of the country's defense, and I
am saying to you service men, now,
that the time element again plays
part For these men a weeks delay
in securing proper treatment may
mean the loss or the winning of
another battle for them-the difference
between restitution to their rightfuI
places in society, or sinking into the
gulf from which there is no return"

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

York governor had challenged corrup-
ton in high places and defled privilege
in any FORM"
He alone opposed the Kellogg pact
for outlaWing war In 1929 because he
thought it favored the British and was
an empty gesture as far as peace was
concerned.
His political milestones are State SEN
ator, attorney general Of Wisconsin,
thrice governor, and the United States
Senate In his forward march he has
had only one setback-defeat for Con-
gress at the outset Of his political career.
The only political leadership he has
ever recognized was that Of "Old Bob. "
And since his death he has chArted his
own course.
He was born on a farm in q log cabin,
was reared on a farm, and to this day
q farm Is his greatest love. When Con-
greSs is not in session he can usually
be found on his farm near Boscobel,
discussing dairy herd records and the
like.
He makes long speeches in the Sen
ate In a voice that resembles that Of
first tenor He Is easily heard but difn-
cult to follow at times.
When he so desires he can badger q
colleague to near evaporation. A men,
Der of the lobby committee, he has .
trick of asking witness the same ques-
ton many, many times. until he gets
the desired answer or the truth.
He Is of medium height, well built,
and always immaculate. Most Of the
time he wears a gray tweed suit and
solid color shirts Of various hues.
Approachable, considerable and kindly,
he Is generally well liked. Newspaper
men know that they can always talk
to him.

Various Shampoos.

It isn't always possible to have the
hair shampooed with soap and water.
This, of course, is by far the best way,
but il YOU are Ill in bed it's impossible,
it's dangerous II you have q cold, occa-
sionally q woman hasn't time for even
the quickest soap, water and hot-air
blowing machine shampoo.
Beauty shops have devised various
other methods. There is q spirit sham
poo, which differs according to the hair
dressing shop, since most of them make
their own. It Is, roughly, q mixture OF
alcohol, q bit of ether, perfume and
one or two other liquid ingredients.
You can buy this sort Of thing by the
bottle in drug stores. The hair Is part
ed, q tight little roll Of cotton about
the size of q lipstick is soaked In the
spirit and rubbed vigorously up and
down the parting. This Is repeated
until the scalp has been covered, then
o couple Of pads are used to wipe down
the length Of the hair. This disSolveS
scurf on the head, removes 1t and most
Of the oil and dirt, leaving the hair
quite clean and fluffy. You can use
this at home, though you should never
use 1t In room with an open FIRE.
At one time shops gave shampoos of
o highly inflammable mixture, ether

over the scalp, 1t ran down into the

be given in an unheated room with

seemed dangerous and most shops dis

use a non-infiammable liquid contain

This also is given in a room with wide

these shampoos at home.
B. J. M.-Some doctors advise shaw

had done this as you were recovering
in December you would probably not
be losing all this hair now, but all of 1t

Toward the close Of 1920 Napoleon
no longer doubted that his end was ap-
preaching He was pleased, for he was
weary of life, which his disease had
filled with pain and suffering.
1t saddened him that some of his
French friends had to leave st. Helena
and 60 back to France because of family
matters, such as the education Of their
children. Soon he would have no one
but his faithful valet, Marchand, with
him.
"You have no children to educate"
he told Marehand. "You will remain
to close my eyes. But see that 1t Is
time that should CO."
In January, 1921, his health grew
better for few days.
"It is respite of a week or two,"
said Napoleon, land then the disease
will resume its course"
News of the death of his sister, Eliza,
panied him deeply. But" he said, "she
has shown me the way; must follow"
His pain was violent now. His stom-
ach rejected all food and he daily weak
ened.
In the middle of March he thought
he might be able to take a short drive,
but when he was brought out to the
carriage he very nearly tainted and had
to be taken back to his bed.

SUB ROSA
Land Birds Seen at Sea.

The forest fires that ragged among
the pine forests and fruit groves of
Southern New Jersey drove the deer
from their leafy hiding and sent the
wild birds of over the ocean. The
sailors. who were used to sea gullS and
fish hawks, were surprised to notice
the thrush and starting and robin fiut-
tering about the rigging Of the vessels
Land birds driven to sea" was the
heading in one of the newspapers.
There are birds which can navigate
the air above the waves, pick up food
from the water and find Dlaces to rest
somewhere, but land birds look for food
on the ground and have to perch in
trees or on buildings. These forest fires,
which destroyed their perches and nests,
too, were a little too much for them.
It's something like that with human
beings. There are some of the tougher
sort who can make things go, no matter
what If catastrophe of some sort
drives them out of one place they can
start in somewhere else just about as
well. There are other girls who have
the power to adapt themselves to cir
cumStances and make the best Of them.
Nowadays. with the new freedom
which has sprung up in womanS life
like q fire, 1t is hard for some of the
land birds to adapt themselves to larger
and less certain situations In the world.
Our cities are full of these youngsters
who are looking for the larger life in
the big town. Many of them do make
good and have no trouble, but there
are others who are in the predicament
Of the thrush or rooin when such
bird finds itself at sea and trying TO
turn the mast Of q vessel into an
apple tree.
The thing for a girl to do is to meas
ure her own powers, add q little by
way Of possibility and figure out
whether she is the sort Of person to
leave old places and old habits be-
hind her. II she Is sure of herself,
well and good. But If she hasn't the
makings of q real sea bird In her shed
better stick to the land.
This present generation was thrust
out into the larger world without much
warning A sort Of fire drove them
from their old-time hiding, the seclu-
sion Of woman's life. The way they
have adapted themselves to new modes
of dress, occupation and social condi-
tons is thrilling. But here and there
the sea life of the modern woman Is
too much for the tender bird, the flap
per as we might call her literally.
Flapping is all right in little world
where YOU feel yourself at home, but
the business Of navigating the sea air
Of modern life requires broad, strong
wings. What can be done by q proud
frigate bird can't be done by jenny
wren.
Most Of us have acquired q broader
outlook and extra strength, but it's just
as well to realize that, after all, we
were meant to be land birds who may
be all at sea In the rumpus Of modern
life.
