IMPORTANT DRIVING
RULES EMPHASIZED

Here are few safety hints that are
especially applicable over the week end
period, when all the highways will be
crowded with people hurrying to go
somewhere:
Keep sober. Gasoline and liquor
make a dangerous mixture.
Keep on the right side of the high
way, except when passing.
Do not pass other cars unless you
have ample clear space ahead.
Do not pass cars at curves and in
tersections where the view is obscured.
Do not pass other cars on the crest
of a hill.
When parking be sure your car is
entirely off the pavement or travelled
portion of the highway
See that your lights are o. K. Have
lights visible front and rear when
parking.
Do not be in too big a hurry. Slow
down when going through cities and
villages Watch for pedestrians cross
ing the highway. Watch for other
cars at intersections.
Keep your car under control at all
times so that you can stop in the clear
space ahead
The above rules, says a State High
way Bulletin, are good rules at all
times. The heavy traffic over week
end holidays, however, makes caution
doubly necessary.
Getting away from the beaten path
and driving on some of the less
travelled roads is also suggested by the
bulletin as means of promoting
safety. Car owners who will plan
trips over some of the side roads on
days when traffic is heavy, will not
only be helping to relieve the con-
gestion, but they will have a COM
Portable and pleasant trip, and they
are likely to find some new and in
teresting scenery which they will miss
II they stick to the main highways.

Minnesota Bar to Bring 500 Here"
says a headline in a Duluth paper.
This is not the kind of bar that
flashes through the thoughts of the old
timer when he looks at the head but
is the organization of attorneys known
as the Minnesota Bar Association
which meets in Duluth the second
week in July and in which Ely attor-
neys are enrolled. Figures from some
of the Canadian towns indicate that
500 is rather small attendance for
a bar of the first part and a very en-
thusiastic gathering for an association
of the second part.
