HOW ABOUT ENGLISH?

After sizing up Colbert however, we can hear the echoes from Cata- lima Island: What about Elwood English of the Cubs?
 For the time being they can't be compared on the spot by this observer, but the records and the testimony are strong enough to enable English to dispute Gelbert's claim to top rank, confining the debate for the moment to the National league.
 English outhit Gelbert by a sub stantial margin last year, posting an average of 1855, the best of his career. The Cub star is A, but this is his fifth year in the majors, whereas Gelbert is just starting lis third
 English also came along like 2 house afire last year and no less an authority and neutral observ- CT than Col. Dan Howley of the Reds thinks that Elwood's batting gives him the edge over Gcibert, up to the present, r4 .

Who's the greatest short-stop in the majors?
 Ask that one, it seems, and an Cld-fashioned argument is under way along any part of the spring training trail, whether it happens to be in Texas, California or Flor ida.
 So far as the Florida camps are concerned, no more brilliant work man has been on view at short than Charles Gelbert, the 25-year old star of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Gelbert has improved at a tre- mendous clip. He batted over 300 last year for the first time in his short big league career. He was a sensation in the worlds se- ries, hitting for 1858 and he looks better than ever in the Cardinal camp at Bradenton this spring.
 Gelbert covers acres of ground on either side and has a rifle shot arm, powerful as well as accurate.
 He not only has satisfied his manager, Gabby Street, that he's the best shortstop in baseball now but Gabby believes the youngster will soon rank with the best in any department of play.

BUT JOE HIT .s4s

So far as the American league is concerned, the boys can argue all evening about the respective merits of English and Gelbert, the.l look over the ace of the short stoppers, Joseph Cronin, who bat ted .346 and had as much to dc as any individual with the sensa- tional rise of the Washington senators last season.
 Cronin, also "A, is rangier, heav- fer and more of a slugger than either English or Gelbert. He played spectacularly afield and was voted the American Leagle's s most valuable player in 193o.
 All three of the youngsters, in a year, have leaped away up to- ward the front and become stars in position that seemed to be shy of its old class. All three vii, be very much in the limelight this year.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

Troublesome earaches in children
should never be dismissed with laugh,
the Minnesota State Medical Associ-
alton warns parents, in bulletin
issued this week.
If Bobbie forgets his warm cap, or
Mary goes out minus the Christmas
bonnet, and comes bask with an ear
ache-watch out, the doctors say.
"Cold air" or drafts" never make
really healthy ears ache"
Much incurable deafness among
adults is direct RESULT of disnissing
childish ear pains as of no conse-
quence.
"Colds in the nose and throat, tom
silitis or any bad throat conditions,
may invade the ear" the doctors de-
clare
These are the original offenders but
ear ache does not always subside even
when the throat or other infection
comes under control and deafness is
not the only thing to be feared as the
result of persistent middle ear in
lection"
Two unwelcome results of neglected
earache, are cited. The ear may
break" That is, the ear drum may
rupture itself and be so badly injured
that hearing is never completely re-
stored to that ear Or the infection
may not remain in the lower or middle
ear, but may work its way backward
and upward until it reaches the mas
told region where only major opera
ton can keep it out of the brain.
Indiscriminate dropping of warm oil
into the ear or blowing in of warm
smoke may waste valuable time and
give the infection that much more
chance to get going, it is warned.
eff it seems necessary" the Associ-
alton experts say, "the doctor can make
clean incision into the drum which
will heal without injury and provide
the drainage necessary to stop that in
lection"
If a diseased condition in the throat
or mouth sent the original germ cul-
prits into the ear, there may be call
for removal of adenoid growth or the
tonsils Or, perhaps, other conditions
predisposing to colds in the head"
should be corrected.
There is an important difference
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-02-06

which everybody who pays serious at
tention to his three meals day should
know about.
This is the gist of bulletin on the
inadvisability of large amounts of bran
beings issued today from the head
quarters of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association.
1.-The Importance of a considerable
amount of roughage in the normal
diet of the human was stressed early
in the development of our modern
knowledge of nutrition" says this
bulletin.
Helped along by large advertisers
and faddists with insufficient know
ledge of the physiology of digestion,
roughage has been taken very generally
to mean, especially, the coarse parts
of the wheat.
''No one was considered to have ade-
quate roughage in his diet unless he
ate whole wheat bread, to the ex-
clusion of white, for instance, and the
more the better. The cereal manu-
facturers jumped at the chance to
capitalize a new fad. The use of bran,
the hulls of the wheat by itself, was
urged as a pious health practice as
well as sure and safe cure for con-
stipation.
The direct result of all this coarse
food in the diet of Americans is being
noted these days by good many
physicians, the bulletin reports. In
festival inflammations and infections
and more serious disorders are being
traced to it. Even Malignancy has
been mentioned as a real possibility
following upon constant irritation of
the sharp coarse particles.
"Roughage of the right kind for
human digestion is an important part
of proper nutrition and elimination
says the bulletin "Leafy vegetables
green vegetables, the bulky parts of
common fruits supply this kind OF
roughage. They answer the same pur-
pose as sharp unassimilable hulls of
the grains and do it without injury to
delicate membranes.
Some people are less sensitive than
others to the irritating affects of large
continuous amounts of coarse grains"
say these physicians, but in any case,
only doctor should decide if they are
to be included regularly in any un-
usual amounts in the human diet"

Explaining Wave Motion

Wave motion in a liquid represents
q continuous handing on from particle
10 particle of disturbance in the
medium without actual transfer of
the medium itself. This may be dem
onstrated by throwing a stone into
water. 1t will be seen that waves run
out In circles from the point at which
the stone submerged. These waves
seem to be actually moving, but il a
chip be thrown on the surface Of the
water it will be found that its motion
Is up and down and not in an outward
direction.

The Balfour declaration made with
regard to Palestine as Jewish home

in which Mr.. Balfour expressed the

with favor the establishment of Pales-
people and will use it's best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement of this
object"

Observatory Sites

Several factors are taken into con.

there are a large number of clear

free from dust and haze, where the
altitude is high enough for the site to
be above part of the air. where dry
climate assures cloudless skies, and
where smoke and artificial lights OF
cities are absent. To this must be
added the factor of good seeing" as
