Drop Your Lights"
Patrol Chief Urges.

Drop your lights when meeting
other vehicles" Is the advice of Earle
Brown, chief of the Minnesota High
way patrol. 1t is an act of courtesy to
other motorists, and also gives the driver
better light on the road Immediately
ahead of him, so it promotes safety all
around
Use of the depressed beam when
meeting other vehicles is not required
by law, Mr. Brown explains, as the
two filament lamps did not come into
general use until after the passage of
the uniform traffic act in 1927. Nor is
the use of the old style DINNERS" re-
quired in Minnesota. Use of DINNERS
is not recommended, because they do
not give enough light for safe driving.
The traffic act provides that all head
lamps must give sufficient light to make
a person observable 200 feet ahead,
under normal atmospheric conditions,
but no driving lamp shall project a
light glaring or dazzling to persons
ahead Lamps shall be deemed to COM
ply with the law if no part of the main
bright portion of the light beam rises
above plane passing through the
lamp centers parallel to the level road,
and in no case higher than AZ inches
rs feet ahead of the vehicle.
The upper beam on two-filament
lights must comply with this require
ment, and using the depressed beam
when meeting other vehicles will not
compensate for the use of an illegal
upper beam at other times. If the
upper beam does not comply with the
law, the lamps should be focused by
a trained lamp adjuster at an official
lamp adjusting station.
But even if the upper beam complies
with the law, safety and comfort will
be promoted by using the depressed
beam when meeting other drivers, Mr.
Brown said. In city driving or in
heavy traffic, he adds, it is good rule
to drop the lights and leave them
down.
With less traffic and more hours Of
darkness, the highway patrol during
the fall and winter will devote more
time to the war on glazing lights, lights
out of order, and any other failure
to comply with the lighting requirements
of the traffic act.

FOREST NOTES

An addition was made to the list of
forest products sold by the Superior
National Forest, when sale of seven
tons of reindeer moss was made this
week at the Forest headquarters in
this city.
The purchaser, Mr.. N. H. Dimond, of
Duluth, is maintaining small herd of
reindeer, and the moss was purchased
for use as winter food for the animals.
Trucks are used to obtain the moss
which is found in large quantities in
some parts of the Forest, and the initial
sale of seven tons is believed to be the
forerunner of many such sales.
For some time Investigations have
been under way for the Forest Serice
to determine whether it is possible for
reindeer to be maintained on the Su-
perior National Forest and whether
they would survive and increase. A
few large herds of reindeer roaming
teresting addition to the wild life al
ready found there
j. A. Fitzwater, of the Office of Forest
Management, u. S. Forest Service,
Washington, D. c., well known in this
city, in company with H. Basil Wales,
Assistant Regional Forester also well
know here, left Milwaukee on Monday
to attend Tree Planting Meeting in
Denver, Colo, headquarters of the
Rocky Mountain Region of National
Forests.
Forest Ranger Frank Carney of the
United States Forest Service, has been
assigned to special land acquisition
work in the Cascade area. He left Ely
headquarters on Tuesday morning for
Grand Marais, where the special party
is being organized and expects to be
gone about three weeks.
Mr.. F. H. Eyre, who has been in
charge of the research activities of the
Forest Service Experiment Station in
this vicinity, left Monday for st. Paul
where the headquarters of the Lake
States Experiment Station are located.
Much research work was inaugurated
during this season and a headquarters
building constructed near the Half
way Ranger station, which will be used
in connection with future Forest Ser
vice activities.

is not absolutely necessary at
this time, it will furnish en-
ployment for crew OF men
for some time and tide many
a laborer over the winter.
Some one is going to jump up
ON his hind feet and inform us
that the city charter prevents
this but in the face of the elias
ITCHY of the charter in other
matters daily being noted, let
Us stretch a point in the inter-
ests of our people.
Suggestion No. 8. The road
to the Calumet location, the
Sibley and the Pioneer ga"
shaft and Oliver shops is going
down and will entirely sink in
to oblivion within a few years.
AS gesture of good will to-
wards Ely's largest taxpayer
and the laborers forced to go
to their work to this section Of
the property and to those who
visit Sandy Point, why not
build a permanent road along
the lake shore to this part
of the city through the Chand-
Ter location and points east.
Here another batch of jobs can
be created. 1t will be either
build a new road or maintain
the old one with bridges and
fills.
Our candid opinion is that it
is far more humane and Ameri-
can to do this than to create
a large relief fund to be doled
out in charity. We may be a
little presumptious in suggest
ing this to the council but feel
that our suggestions will be re-
ceived in the spirit in which
they are given. Mayor Wolff
and Alderman Tauzell at
tended the meeting of the
League of Minnesota Munich
palities at St. Paul this week
and such sentiments as these
were the concensus of opinion
among the municipalities repre-
sented.

The figures of ore shipments
as given in another place in this
paper show in a large measure
what is responsible for the de-
preston which is affecting us
at present here in Ely. When
eastern industries are over sup
piled, or do not need iron ore,
there is no cause for mining it
and a consequent cut in en-
ployment follows. Mining COM
panies must realize on their
investment just the same as
other industries. When there
is no demand for ore, it is policy
to leave it in the ground and
thus cut down on the cost of
production and also the cost
Of the stockpile tax as against
the cost of taxes on ore in the
ground.
Assurances have been made,
and these assurances can be
relied upon, that just as soon
as business gets back on a
reasonable working basis in
the mining industry the de-
preston will wear off in this
city and on this range. The
manufacturing centers of the
east have been in the dumps
for two years or more before
it hit us here. The industrial
reports from all sections of the
country are taking on a very
optimistic hue and optimism is
being diffused throughout
every section of the United
States. This means the demise
of the depression talk and will
go a long way in the scheme
of making a contented people.
America has never been a
starvation nation and will not
be now. 1t has weathered more
serious depressions than this
which also will pass in due
time.

Faith of the Child

Know you what it is to be a child?
It is to be something very different
from the man of today. 1t is to have
q spirit yet streaming from the wa
tiers of baptism it is to believe in love,
to believe in loneliness, to believe in
beliefs; it is to be so little that the
elves can reach to whisper in your
ear; 1t is to turn pumpkins into
coaches and mice into horses, lowli-
ness into loftiness, and nothing into
everything, for each child has its fairy
godmother in its own soul; 1t is to
live in a nutshell and count yourself
the king Of infinite space; 1t is
To see a world in a grain Of sand.
And a heaven in a wild flower:
Hold innnity In the palm OF your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Tells Time bv Birds

Clocks are not necessary to give
the time in the morning If one under
stands the songs Of birds, according
to a German naturalist who has just
completed a schedule Of offerings by
feathered songsters. He says the
chaffinch sings at about one-thirty on
summer mornings, and the blackcap
calls an hour later. Between two
thirty and three o'clock the quail give
their call, while the hedge sparrows
are heard about thirty minutes later.
The blackbirds are next, followed by
larks, the black-headed titmouse, and
finally the sparrows start between
five and five-thirty.
