Taxes on in-shipments of gasoline
in May, 1881, after deducting refunds,
amounted to 1902. Aos, an increase Of

OUTDOORS CURE
FOR DEPRESSION
PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN GAME
ASSOCIATION ADVISES ALL TO
FIGHT DEPRESSION FEELING
BY TAKING VACATION.

Take a Vacation, relieve the high
tension caused by the narrowing cir
cumstances of the depression; preserve
your health, and, at the same time,
help presrve the forests, fields and
streams for the health of others"
This advice is addressed to everyone
by Seth Gordon, president of the
American Game Association, in a bull
letin just issued, in which he urges
all to be careful of fire, garbage dis
posal, and possibly polluted waters,
during their vacations.
There were more than $4,000, 900
people who took vacations in the out
of-doors last year, compilations show,
and millions Of these camped out.
Their were also thousands of forest,
grass and brush fires started by some
of these campers. These fires des-
troyed an incalcuable number of wild
birds, fowl, animals, fish, and property
estimated at millions of dollars.
Many of the careless campers, and
others, too, were burned to death by
these fires-au avoidable loss. Only
one percent of such fires are from
natural cause-lightning. Be careful
of cigarettes, pipes and camp fires.
Pollution, too, took toll of life
through typhoid and poisoning, prin-
cipally because of the thoughtlessness
of campers in dumping refuse in
streams and lakes. Bury all garbage
and refuse; do not dump it in water.
Others are hurt by falling trees and
limbs. Mr.. Gordon urges one to exer-
else much care in selecting the camp
site, and by all means not to pitch
camp among big trees or in dry
stream beds, as thousands did last
year. A high wind or sudden rain
may play havoc with human life to
say nothing Of destruction Of camp
equipment.
BY observing these and other COM
mon sense cautions every vacationist
may enjoy the healing of the Great
Outdoors and return a new person,
and also may help to preserve the
same benefits for others he points out.

DELIVERS MESSAGE
SECRETARY OF NATIONAL MER-
CHANTS ASSOCIATION AND
MANAGER OF TWIN CITY MAR
KET BUREAU SPEAKS TO ELY
MERCHANTS.

Owing to its being pay day and
owing to the fact that the arrange
ments for the Institute were incom-
plete, the all afternoon session spon-
|sored by the National Merchants
Association at the Community Center
on Tuesday afternoon was only at
tended by some twenty Of Ey's bust
ness people. Those who did attend
we're well repaid for the time spent
away from their business and general
regret was expressed that not more
were preenst to listen to the excellent
talk made.
Harry L. Keyes, secretary Of the
Association and manager Of the Twin
City Market Service Bureau OF St
Paul was the speaker. Mr. Keyes ex-
planned before he started his excellent
address that he had nothing 70 sell and
was only here in the interests OF the
wholesale mercantile establishments
who desired to help the retailer with
advice as to the conduct Of his bust
ness. He advertised no one but said
he would aid anyone with their ad-
vertising problems.
He said the yearly institutes on mer-
chandising were free and paid for by
"a fund of the Market Service Bureau.
He had just conducted a successful
institute in Eveleth the day before and
as he had been listed for Ely along
with four other range towns, he was
here for the purpose. The institute
occupies an afternoon and IS divided
into sections wherein the merchsndts-
ing problems are discussed and sales
advice given both to the proprietors
and employees of mercantile establish
ments.
As the institute has been called OF
for several causes, Mr.. Kyes only
talked to those present on the general
principles Of merchandising and ex-
planned several points necessary to-
wards a successful business. After
the meeting several remained longer
and talked Informally on several sub
jects pertaining to their individual
problems.
Those who missed the meeting lost
some valuable pointers. Arrangements
should be begun at once for an in
stitute IN the future and every mer-
chant and business man in the city
should make it a point to attend

In st. Paul on Monday, based on
the report of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
property damage and public liability
insurance rates on pleasure cars were
recommended for an increase of Is
per cent. A raise Of Is per cent was
also recommended on Commercial
vehicles. It was claimed that the in
crease is necessary because the aver
age cost of claim settlement in Mime
sofa is higher than in any other state
in the Union. It was also recon-
ulended that drivers license law be
enacted in Minnesota. It was recon-
mended that the insurance companies
set aside $3.50 as an average for
claims on liability insurance on
pleasure vehicles as compared with the
present figure of S13.14, made neces-
sary because of increases of the aver
age claim since 1927.
If the proposed rates go into effect,
Duluth viii be hit hardest of any place
in the state, or an increase of about
46 per cent. The increase in the Twin
Cities would be about 20 per cent. In
Duluth the companies would set aside
s2613 and s945 for liability and
property damage respectively COM
pared with S1816 and S608 as at pres
ent. It is ever thus. No matter how
much taxes are paid for safety de-
vices, insurance rates go up according
ly and another story or two is added
to the 80 or 10 story buildings in
which the companies have their
homes.
Minnesota is the hardest hit by the
raise in rates and what We want to
know is whether this state is more
careless in its driving or whether we
have more cars to bump one another?
It would please US to have one of these
close figuring experts employed by the
underwriters tell US why the except
ional raise in Minnesota and suggest
a remedy. In another place in this
paper will be found the business done
by the state highway patrol last
month This report shows a clearing
up Of situations which daily confront

had no other expression for their mental
energy"
Parents Often Key to Behavior.
Fears Of parents, however carefully
concealed, often are unconsciously
transferred to children, the study Of
the problem cases revealed. Thus, one
child was affiicted with phantastic
night fears, refusing to 60 to sleep and
reporting dreadful shapes floating in
the darkness. The cause of this be-
came clear when 1t was found that the
child's mother herself was in dread Of
the dark and believer in ghosts. She
never had said anything about these
fears to the child, but suggested them
by her actions.
The key to the queer behavior Of the
child, says the report, often can be
found only by studying the parents
rather than the child itself. OF 81
problem children, it was found that 30
parents, either father or mother, had
distinct neurotic traits. A group of SC
neurotic parents. taken at random, had
81 neurotic children. This does not
mean, the report stresses, that such
traits are inherited. They are due to
the close association of the child with
the parents during the formative years,
when 1t Is very susceptible to the
slightest suggestion.
Polite Phrases Dropped.
Parents Of most Of the children sent
to the research center, 1t was found
had stressed in the home the rules of
politeness. insisting on their offspring
saying please" and thank YOU" This
was not required at the center. It was
found that the words soon almost dis
appeared from the vocabularies of the
children when speaking TO the research
workers and to each other, although
they still used them at home.
Another interesting study was of the

Neurotic children sleep longer and
sounder than well-adjusted children.
Bright children apparently sleep less
than duller children.
Competition is not always good
incentive to accomplishment.
Many children become maladjusted
in the public schools, but usually be-
cause of bad conditions in the home
or because they are too bright for their
classes.
Children are not naturally polite"
Results Of Study Unexpected.
These are among the findings from
years intensive experimentation with
children between 2 and S years old at
the National Child Research Center
here; as reported by the director.
The sleep studies, the annual report
says, gave the most unexpected results

this to decrease between the second

MISSOURI WATCHED

First of Seven Vacancies in
House to Be Filled in
Vote Tomorrow.

Dy the Associated Press,
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, September 2S.--
The first of seven vacancies in the Ma
kional House Of Representatives, caused
by deaths since the last general elec-
tionS, will be filled tomorrow when the
seventh Missouri district elects a sue
Cessor to the late Sam G. Major, Demo-
crat, of Fayette.
The election has attracted State and
national interest as a possible barometer
of what the trend will be in 1882 Fill
Eng Of this and the other vacancies will
have an important bearing on whether
The Republicans will retain the House
organization or lose control to the
Democrats.
The seventh Missouri district nor
Fnally is Democratic by 1900 to $500
Major carried the district in five of the
last seven elections, losing to Roscoe G.
Pattersn, now United States Senator, in
1870 and to John w. Palmer, again the
Republican nominee, in 1929 This
time the situation has been somewhat
complicated by the entrance into the
race Of L. L. Collins. independent anti
prohibition candidate, formerly a Dem
pcratic leader here. Palmer and Rob-
ert D. johnson, the Democratic NOM
anee, have the Endorsement of the Anti
Saloon League.
Numerous prominent speakers have
been brought into the district by both
parties, but, despite this, reports last
night indicated the election had at
tracted attention elsewhere than within
the district. Former Senator James A.
Reed spoke at Lexington Saturday night
In Johnson's behalf and Senator Joe T.
Robinson spoke for him at Springfield.

a moving target and tracing with o
pencil. Some were given periods of
practice after the first tests, while q
control group was left alone. Yet, the
report states, the latter did almost as
well when the test was repeated. This
indicates that the improvement Of skill
was due largely to physical maturation
of the muscles and sense organs Of the
children, rather than from specific prac-
tice.
In another experiment competition
was found a noteworthy incentive to
learning, but in some cases 1t was found
that overanxiety to Surpass created an
overanxiety which caused lower scores
than where there was no race"
Problem" Children Checked.
Besides the group of children regu-
larly at the center, the staff has worked
with a considerable number of prob
lem" children who have proved dificult
to manage in home or school.
"A large number of these children"
the report states, first became malad-
justed at school. In the home parents
take SO much responsibility that the
beginnings Of personality deviations and
of social Embellishments are over
looked. In school. with an impartial
observer and with the necessity Of con-
forming to definite rules, maladjuSt-
mentS are often observed in their be-
ginning stages.
"a large number of such difficulties
arose because of the superiority of the
child to the demands Of his school
grade. A number were referred because
of day-dreaming. The teacher could
not make them pay attention and they
were withdrawing into themselves to
such an extent that they finally failed
in their school work These children
had an intelligence above their school
demands. AS a result they became
bored with the routine of the school

and restlessness showed that the later
the children are put to bed the longer
1t takes them to go to sleep and that,
while they remain abed later in the
morning, the total amount Of ,slumber
Is less.
Close statistical analysis of the re-
ports, Dr. Sherman says, showed that
there was a slight tendency for the
brighter children to sleep less, but this
may have been an accidental result due
to the small numbers studied. There
was an unmistakable tendency for the
children rated as slightly neurotic by
the research center staff to sleep longer
and more quietly than the well-ad-
justed extrovertS in the group.
Study Of the afternoon maps showed
that the most active children, who sup
posedly were more tired physically, slept
less than those who had been relatively
inactive all the morning. A possible
explanation of this, the director reports,
is that the nervous system Of the young
sters becomes overstimulated by play
so that some time is required for this
stimulation to subside to the point
where sleep can take possession of the
child.
