DESIGN OF VALOR-
MEDAL APPROVED
viii Be Awarded Soldiers for
Heroism Not Involving
Contact With Enemy.

The Secretary of War today an
nounced his approval of the design Sc
lected by the Commission of Fine Arts
for the Soldiers Medal, authorized by
act of Congress to be presented by the
President for heroism displayed while
not involving actual contact with an
enemy. The medal is awarded to any per-
son who, while serving in any capacity
with the Army of the United States,
including the National Guard and the
organized Reserves, has distinguished
himself or herself.
Out of several designs submitted by
medalists from all over the country,
the one finally selected was submitted
by Gaetana Cecere of New York City.
The approved medal will be of bronze,
octagonal in shape. The diverse illus
trates an eagle displayed standing on a
fasces between two groups of stars. The
reverse has a shield between two sprays
of leaves. with the inscription Soldiers
Medal-For Valor" The medal will
be suspended from a ribbon of blue with
IS alternate white and red stripes. Only
one medal will be issued to any one
person, but for each succeeding deed
or act sufficient to justify the award
of the Soldiers Medal, an oak leaf
cluster will be authorized for attach
ing to the suspension ribbon.
The Secretary of War has decided
that the Soldiers Medal will rank
fourth in order of precedence.
, Thirty-two awards of the Soldiers
Medal already have been made, and it

ROAD WASHBOARDS
STUDIED IN TESTS
QUICKLY FORMED BY HIGH
PRESSURE TIRES-HIGH SPEEDS
HELP-REPORT OF WASHING
TON STATE COLLEGE SHOWS.

High pressure tires produce wash
boards, and they are formed more
quickly at higher speeds, but balloon
tires and shock abSorbers will prevent
their formation, according to reports
of a series of road tests made by the
engineering experiment station of the
State College at Pullman, Washington.
The tests were made on dry gravel
road, IA miles long, carrying no traffic
except the test car. A device which
measured the movement of the springs
was used in recording the bumps, So
there was no guess work. The surface
was scarified and bladed smooth be-
tween each test.
Using high pressure tires and no
shock absorbers, the corrugationS began
to appear after 36 trips when the car
was going 40 miles an hour, but did
not appear until the Tooth trip when
the car was going 25 miles an hour.
Using the same tires and shock alb
sorbers, 90 trips were required to pro-
duce washboards when the car went
40 miles an hour, and 1873 trips when
the car was driven 25 miles an hour.
When the balloon tires were sub
Stituted and the shock absorberS taken
off, no washboards appeared up to $50
trips, and with the shock absorbers
added, none appeared up to $40 trips.
Whether or not balloon tires would
promote or retard the formation of
washboards on an already deeply
washboarded highway, is a question
yet to be answered" says the report.
While the percentage of high pres
c,,ra tireS on paSSenper cars has
greatly dimished and is at present very
small, the report points out that the
percentage of trucks on the highways
is constantly increasing, and truck
tires are nearly all of the high pres
sure type. The report suggests that if
some type of shock absorbers could be
applied to all vehicles using high pres
sure tires, large savings in the main
tenance of gravel roads might be ac-
complished.

SUPERIOR FOREST
IS THE PLACE
BOB BECKER IN THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE SPEAKS GLOWINGLY
OF THE SUPERIOR NATIONAL
FOREST IN A RECENT ISSUE OF
THAT INFLUENTIAL PAPER.

Two years aga Bob Becker wAotx =.
booklet on the outing facilities of the
Superior National Forest and the
country around Ely and in which he
paid particular attention to the fishing
culated by the thousands by the re-
sort owners and the Ely Commercial
Club and demands from all parts of
the country have been filled.
In prominent place in the Chi
cago Tribune of few days ago, Mr..
Becker further says:
1.-The Middle Vests largest and most
attractive school of campcraft and
canoeing is running full blast this
summer after receiving the official
stamp of approval from congress.
"This school is the Superior Nat
ional forest along the northern boun-
Diary of Minnesota, an area that, be-
cause of its wilderness atmosphere,
countless lakes and streams abundant
wild life and opportunities for canoe
ing and camping far from crowds, is
virtually a finishing school for those
outdoor fans who want to learn more
about canoe cruising, the tricks of
living outdoors, and how to fool sew
eral species of fish that inhabit the
hundreds of square miles of water up
there along the boundary.
And now congress has acted to pre-
serve and enlarge that wonderful Wild
erneSs of timber and water in Northern
Minnesota by the passage of the
Shipstead- Newton Nolan bill This in
sures the future of the most beautiful
natural school" of camping, wood
craft and canoeing in the Middle West.
"We should have several more here
in the Middle West. Possibly they will
come. But even if they don't, the
Mississippi valley has one playground
that cannot be equaled anywhere in
the United States.
after pushing paddle over many
a mile of canoe routes in the Superior
National Forest and the Quetico Park
and tenting near lovely fishing holes,
we have urged outdoor fans to visit
this country for camping, canoeing and
fishing. Shove off from Winton,
Mimi, and lose yourself for two weeks
with jumping bass, smashing northren
pike and big moose for company.
when you are up there, by all
means get acquainted with one or two
of the foresters who roam that Nor
thern wilderness if you want to meet
some interesting characters and hear
some good yarns of the Northland."

LAST TRUNK ROUTE
CAP TO BE BUILT
ROAD TO BIG FALLS WILL con-
Meet LAST OF POINTS NAMED
IN CONSTITUTIONAL BIDS
ASKED.

Work will be started this fall to
open road through to Big Falls from
Deer River, the only route prescribed
in the Minnesota trunk highway am
endment where there is at present no
road, according to announcement by
Commissioner c.. M Babcock Bids
on grading the last 25.2 miles on this
route, and several other grading,
graveling and bridge projects, will be
opened at the offices of the Minnesota
Highway department Sept. g.
The highway act passed after the
adoption of the trunk highway am
endment in 1920 provided that tempor-
ary routes should be designated and
maintained, wherever possible, until
permanent highways could be located
and constructed. Old county or town
roads were selected and designated as
temporary trunks, and some short gaps
built, so that within a few months
after the plan went into effect all
points named in the amendment were
connected, except on No. 81. A county
road was selected as a temporary
trunk from Deer River to the Big Fork
river, but beyond this point no road
existed. The topography made con-
ahead of more pressing projects. A
seven mile extension was built in 1928.
The work to be started this fall will
complete the road to a junction with
No at Big Falls, as provided in the
amendment. The new road will take
a curving course, following the river
part of the way. The grading will be
completed late next summer. The
plans call for moving $4,000 cubic
yards of dirt.
Bids will be taken the same day on
grading T. H. No, 3, from l mile east
the end of the old pavement west of
Red Wing. This is the last gap to be
graded on this route between the Twin
Cities and Lacrosse, grading now being
in progress south of Hastings and be-
tween Lake City and Wabasha. Some
indication of the size of the project
to be started this fall, is given by the
fact that on this 78 mile stretch
through the Cannon Valley, it will be
necessary to move $4,000 cubic yards
of dirt. A 240 foot bridge will be built
to carry the new road over the Cannon
river and the Great Western tracks.
One grade crossing, with very light
traffic will remain. Two steep grades
will be eliminated, and removing the
numerous sharp turns on the old road
will cut the distance OF mile. Grad
ing is to be completed early next sum-
mer and it is expected that the last of
the unpaved gaps on this route will be
paved in 1882.
Several turns on No. Is, between
New Ulm and Winthrop, will be replaced
with wide-radius curves, and some
other revisions made on this route, in
preparation for paving in 1881. 1t is
proposed to pave No. IA. from a con-
nection with the pavement on No. %
at Gaylord to Winthrop, and No. Is
from Winthrop to connection with
the pavement now being built on No.
at New Ulm.

WHAT KIND Of FISH?
SEE FOR YOURSELF
FISH AND GAME DISPLAY AT
MINNESOTA STATE FAIR TO BE
OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO
OUR PEOPLE.

Is it a large-mouth or a small
mouth bass? A muskellunge or nor
thern pike?
There will be no room for argument
among the fishermen who gather about
the aquaria in the fish and game
building at the Minnesota State Fair
and Northwest Livestock Show, Aug
ust 80 to September 6, because the
species of the many living game and
food fishes exhibited therein will be
plainly indicated.
True, some call Esox Lucius a nor
thern pike and others will contend it
is a pickerel, but for all practical pur-
poses either name will do, so it won't
matter much.
Thaddeus Surber, head of the fish
propagation bureau of the State Game
and Fish Department is superintendent
of this activity at the Fair, and he is
planning an exhibit this year that is
certain to inspire the angling enthusi-
asts who pause to view the finny
creatures in their natural element.
There will be large and small-mouth
bass, of course, and pike, pickerel,
crappies, striped and rock bass, sun
fish, perch and other species of game
fish, as well as catfish, bullheads and
sturgeon and carp and other varieties
of so-called rough fish which are net
ted for commercial purposes.
The exhibits in Dr. Surber's charge
also will embrace living specimens of
popular game birds such as wild ducks
and geese, pheasants, quail and prairie
chickens, and game and fir bearing
animals native to Minnesota, including
deer and bear, beavers, muskrats. foxes,
raccoons, fisher, skunk and others.
Visitors to the fish and game build
ing will see many fine tanned pelts of
Minnesota fur-bearers, and as part of
the educational program game wardcns
will explain the laws relating to wild
animals, birds and fishes, and how the
sportsmen of the state may cooperate
with the Game and Fish Department
in conserving the wild life resources to
insure sport for the future.
The exhibit of the State Department
of Forestry and Fire Prevention will be
presented in the same building. It will
feature methods Of forest protection
and reforestation and will include dis
plays of Minnesota forest products and
materials produced in the wood-con-
version industries of the state.

Reindeer for Mcfarland Lake.

One hundred head of reindeer from
Finland will arrive in Duluth in No
vember to be taken to the ranch of the
Arrowhead Syndicate Realty company
ranch on Mcfarland lake, in the
Northeast part of Cook county, just
outside of the Superior National forest.
The herd will be accompanied to the
Arrowhead by experienced herdsmen
from Finland.
Because the reindeer horns at this
season are still in the velvet, they
cannot be shipped until october. In
jury to the horns at this time is likely
to prove fatal.
The animals will be trained to drive
and will be exhibited in teams of four
and eight in principal cities in De-
cember. The deer will range in the
two townships owned by the realty
company and will be sheltered in the
severe weather.
