Medical Authorities Warn Against I'm
balanced Diet of Sweets.

balanced diet OF sweets.
Once the problem of sweets for
children was not problem at all.
If you were conscientious mother you
frowned upon them on principal and
bestowed them grudgingly or not at all.
Then along came some upSetting re-
searches on the part of unorthodox
students that tended to obscure the
whole problem. Some went so far as
to declare that a large amount of
sweets was really good for some child
rem, especially the thin nervous child
rem. Others of undoubted ability and
influence even advocated the feeding
of more sweets to children just on
general nutritional principals Are
their contentious sound?
Today's bulletin from the medical
experts of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association advises mothers to be
cautious about accepting this revolu-
tionary advice at its face value.
There are five different kinds of
substances which make up the food
values we acquire when we buy food"
this bulletin says. "These are proteinS,
fats, carbohydrates, which include the
sugars and starches, mineral elements
and vitamins.
I'VE do not buy these food substances
separately. Instead we buy articles
such as bread, meat, milk, fruit and
vegetables All of those mentioned
contain several kinds of substances of
food value. They are "many-sided"
foods. Besides these, of course, there
are articles of food which furnish only
one kind of substance Of food value
which we term "one-sided" foods
Some oils and fats, all pure sugars

and starches and most candies are
lone sided" foods.
Nov "one-sided" foods such as
candies are not necessarily to be
avoided the bulletin declares. But
for the sake of good all around nutri-
ton and body development we cer-
tainly must never allow these ''one-
, sided" foods to take the place that
properly belongs to the many sided"
foods such as fruits vegetables and
milk.
"In making up food budgets where
the maximum amount of good is to be
obtained for the minimum of expense,
certainly the more or less wasteful
"one- sided" foods, should be kept in a
proper secondary place.
Children are normally active, to be
sure and spend more calories in pro-
portion to their size than any but very
active adults. The sugars in candies
supply these calories But there are
other foods that supply them too, and
throw in for good measure the equally
essential protienS and vitamins and
mineral elements that the child needs
for growth.
after ALL the childs capacity for
food is strictly limited He. can eat
only so much food at best and his needs
for growth and health are tremen-
dous. The wise mother will, still, keep
candy in the background of her child's
schedule, though perhaps for not the
same reasons as moved grandmother
She will see that her child gets an
ample supply of the "many-sided"
foods such as meats, bread, fruit, vege-
tables and milk before she yields pre-
cious space to candy"

OPEN WINTER ROAD
MILEAGE INCREASED

More miles of road will be kept open
this winter than ever before, accord
ing to State Highway bulletin. The
state will continue it's winter mainten-
ance. program over the trunk highway
system, and many of the counties are
increasing the mileage which they plan
to keep open.
The mileage of highways to be kept
open by the state is nearly 1000.
While the department does not expect
that it will ever be possible to keep the
highways open 100 per cent of the
time, it has come little closer to the
mark each year since the snow removal
program was started four years ago.
The department has bought very little
new equipment this year, but large
proportion of the maintenance men
have been with the department since
snow removal first began, and with the
added experience they hope to be able
The Ely miner., 1930-10-31
to open the roads sooner after each

to open the roads sooner after each
storm.
Sixty-one counties which replied to
a QUESTIONABLE sent out by the Improve
ment Bulletin reported that 8,712 miles
of state aid roads, 7,401 miles of county
roads, and STA miles of township
roads were on the winter maintenance
program. This makes total of 81 ,227
miles of secondary roads on which
definite reports have been received
that they will be kept open.
These figures represent more than
80 per cent of the state aid roads, 10
per cent of the county roads, and 16
per cent of the township roads in the
81 counties. If the remaining 26
counties do proportionately as well. it
will bring the total of open secondary
roads to $4,000 miles, and the total of
all roads to $1,000 In addition to
keeping larger mileage open, many Of
the counties report that they have
added new equipment and improved
their organization SO that they will be
able to open their roads sooner after
each storm.

FAILURE TO "STOP"
BRINGS 66 ARRESTS.

A campaign against motorists who
fail to stop at arterial highways, in
which 66 were arrested, brought the
total number of arrests by the State
Highway patrol in September to 1856
the largest number in any month
since the patrol was established, ex-
cept last May.
The September report made by Earle
Brown, chief of the highway patrol, to
c. M. Babcock, highway commissioner,
shows 90 arrests for driving while
drunk 81 for improper use of license,
SO for careless driving, 66 for failure
to stop at arterial highways, 9 for pass
ing on crest of hill, and four miscel-
laneous. The May report showed 106
arrests for driving while drunk, 1O2 for
improper use of license, 26 for careless
driving, Is for failure to stop at arter-
ial, 8 for passing on curve, and mis-
cellaneous, a total of 262.
The patrolmen took SO cars in Gus
tody in September, of which 18 were
due to improper license, 10 for driving
while drunk, abandoned on highway,
and z stolen. Fines collected In Sept
ember totaled $5,413, of which $4,3l4
was paid by motorists who were found
guilty OF driving while drunk.
Warnings were given to 5,126 for
violators of the traffic rules and 3,702
for illegal equipment. The two most
common offenses which brought warn
ings were improper parking, 2,235, and
driving in wrong lane, 875. The two
most common equipment faults were
no rear light, 1,208 and one head light,
1,205. Tags were also given to 808 for
improper license When tags are given
illegal equipment of improper license,
the motorist is given 48 hours to make
the correction and mail a card certi-
flying that the fault has been rectified.
The men Travelled an average of 1854
miles each during the month in the
performance of their duties. They
gave road information and other aid
to 24,188 motorists and attended 43
accidents.

JEALOUSY RAMPANT

The spectacle of bitterly divided Cal
ifornia, now being presented at the hear
ings before the house naval committee
on the establishment of lighter than
air base on the Pacific coast, is not an
elevating one, nor is it likely to increase
the prestige and effectiveness of the
California congressional delegation.
Adherents of the Sunnyvale site refuse
to make any concessions and insist that
the site favored by them must be accept
ed, even to the point of forcing the navy
to choose some place other than the Pa
cific coast Sunnyvale adopts the policy,
whole hog or none"
Equally determined is the southern
delegation, advancing the argument that
the Camp Kearney site at San Diego is
the most desirable in every way, meteor
ologically, economically and strategical-
ly Though not so emphatic perhaps, as
the Sunnyvale group, and certainly not
to the point of seeing the base slip from
the west altogether, the Camp Kearney
adherents are obstinate. The "compro-
mise" they offer-that in return for sup
port for Camp Kearney by the Sunny
vale forces this time, they will work for
a future base at Sunnyvale, is no COM
promise at all, in the eyes of the north
erners.
Although committed to aid San Diego
obtain the base, we would not be sur
prised if the eventual compromise" is
suggested by Los Angeles, that there is
the logical place for the base, half
way" between San Francisco and San
Diego.
While we all sing the praises of Cali
fornia, and boast of our love for her, the
old north and south" feud still exists
and persists in showing its head every
so often. San Francisco never can for
give San Diego for staging an exposition
in 1915 while the former had one of its
own.
We may try to delude ourselves, but
the Tehachapi creates dividing line
between two large seas Of jealousy that
can always be whiplashed into white-cap..
ped fits of anger by the urge for political
supremacy.
In the present instance it will not be
surprising to see it force the air base in
to some other part of the country

CALEYICO WINS

Once again the county seat is forced
to bow in submission as Calexico walks
away with the interscholastic baseball
honors for Imperial Valley, making the
fifth successive year that this has hap
pened.
After playing stellar baseball all sea-
son, dropping only the previous game
with Calexico, the Central Union nine
had high hopes of.iovercoming the bor-
der Bulldogs" and annexing the cham
pionship.
These hopes went flittering away in
to dreamland Saturday when stage
fright attacked the local boys in the
first inning, and enabled Calexico to pile
up score that was just too great to ov-
come in the remaining innings.
Calexico won fairly and squarely, and
good sportsmanship demands that they
be given all credit for their victory. Aside
from that first spasm, the local boys
played good ball, but not good enough
to offset what the Bulldogs" had done.

The latter had worlds of confidence and
indicated that they would just as soon
have tackled Mr.. Mack's team if the op-
portunity were offered them.
One cannot help but wonder if much
of this confidence is not derived from the
fact that Calexico's team is admirably
supported by the adults of that city. 1t
certainly adds much to the confidence
and ability of bunch of boys to know
that their elders are interested in what
they are doing and are giving them their
fullest support.
Too few Ell Centrans ever attend any
athletic function at Central Union. A
few loyal souls come out to the various
away. The number of men who did not
see ball game at Central this year, and
activities, but the great majority remain
who could have done so if they wished,
would probably equal the total of those
who We're too busy to be enumerated in
the census.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
MAY BUG

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was sitting on messy stump
in the woods, wondering where he
could find an adventure, the rabbit
gentleman heard a voice saying:
81 don t care. m going to do Il
and have fun!'
ooh, but it won't be fair an
other voice said. ..You shouldn It
play jokes like that -
IN going to, just the same,

"Uncle Wiggily twinkled his PINK

''If it s only joke they are GO

But | must see who they are.
MIR. Longears looked around the
corner of a log lying on the ground
and saw two little bugs sitting on a
stone in the sunshine.

on the first bug. 81 IN tired OF
never having anybody look at me
or running away from me and l

"Why, that's what a June Bug

little creature ON the stone. And
you are only May Bug just as |

SCOUTS DECIDE
CHAMPIONS IN
MANY EVENTS

Saturday afternoon, May IL, saw
the winners of first and second plae-
es in the divisional scout field
meets held two weeks previously in
Calexieo, Fl Centre, Westmoreland
and Yuma, come together TO pick
the council champions in the differ
ent events.
After the smoke of battle had
cleared this is what the score board
showed III the way of champion
ships:
Troop "a Calexico, Edgar Camp
bell, dressing race; troops 81,
Westmorland, knot tying; troop 81
Calexieo, semaphere signaling; troop
2 Brawley, three legged race; troop
13, Calexico, Philip Tucker, making
fire by flint and steel; troop =
Brawley, coup stick relay, eight
Scouts: troop % MeCabe, Morse sig.
mailing; troop 81 Westmorland, po-
ny express; troop Is Calerieo, best
troop stunt; troop p, MeCabe, fire
by friction, Fred Neliquerte; troop
81 Westmorland, wall scaling, time
Is seconds.
This last event, in which eight
Scouts run 10 yards, and scale a
nine foot six inch wall was very
hotly contested. Troop of Braw-
ley pushed Westmorland hard.
Brawley troop 2 time was 49,.
The events were run off in very
short order, and very smoothly.
There were no arguments and no
criticisms. Judging was in charge
of Willis Johnson, district commits
sioner of Yuma, assisted by Messrs.
Svelmore of Yuma, Bush, Jobes, Mo-
line of El Centre, Ralph Anderson
Of Brawley and w. Jones of West

true, though, June Bug does make
a lot of fuzz, flying around, bang
ing against screen doors and making
little girls run for fear the legs
of the June Bug will tangle in their
hair. But June Bugs harm no one,
though they are a bit messy. AS for
this cute little May Bug wanting to
look like June Bug, why, / don It
see how it can be done!'
The May Bug was a pretty little
creature, not much larger than n
honey bee, and, as YOU know, a June
Bug is quite large. But as Uncle
Wiggily watched the May Bug flew
to pine tree, out of which ooZed
some sticky gum, and this gum the
May Pug put on her wings. Then
she found dandelion flower that

ANOTHER OBSTACLE

Those of us who cheered and yelled
one windy day in December, 1928, when
the senate passed the Swing Johnson bill,
thinking that all our troubles were over,
perhaps will realize today that such was
not the case.
For today another battle starts in con-
gress, and it gives every indication of
being as bitter, even if not as long, as
the others that have marked the course
Of Colorado river legislation.
The house appropriations committee
starts hearings on the appropriation of
$1O,6OO,000 recommended by President
Hoover, for the beginning of actual con-
structi0n on Boulder dam.
Arizona has marshaled her forces for
final assault to prevent the appropria-
tiOn being granted, and will leave no
stone unturned to prevent favorable ac-
tion at this session
We do not believe the effort to halt the
appropriation will succeed. Even if it
should, it only means that the matter
has been delayed while. Boulder dam
is on the books of destiny and nothing
can stop it. While these squabbling at
tempts to halt it are annoying, they must
be expected. They are in line with Ari-
zo1la's attitude throughout the whole
scheme for developing the Colorado riv-
err sa
Friends of the legislation have the
support of the leading men in the admin
istration and in all probability this is
sufficient to override Arizona's objec-
tions. If it should not be, then we can
only try once more.
