Ely, Minnesota, the little city
with the little name and its
slogan of "The Playground of a
Nation" is about as we'll known
throughout the world as any
city or town in the state. Our
unparalleled resort facilities,
recreational developments, the
Superior National Forest, Com
mercial Club, educational fac
ilities and our world renowned
iron mines have attracted at
tention for years with the re-
suit that thousands yearly visit
us to satisfy themselves of the
truth of these statements. The
better part of the whole sub
ject is that all who once visit
us, return year after year.

,o,o,D,s,o,,h to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va March 25.-The
motor vehicle division is now confronted
with the, job of breaking up the boot
Logging bf gasoline in Virginia, the new
law having just become effective. 1t is
daclared in many respects to be more
dVtficult than that of breaking up the
yIiuuor trade.
\ Seaside filling stations operating sup
posedly for the tax-free marine trade
have been among the principal offend
ers, it is claimed Complaint has also
been made against filling stations which
handle the taX-free gasoline provided
for the use of Government employees but
which is said to find its way into the
tanks of cars owned and operated by
civilians. This alleged practice was the
subject of complaint made to Senator
Glass by the motor vehicle division
through Director T. Mccall Frazier.
1t is estimated that the State has
been losing not less than 100000 a
year through the evasion of the pay
ment of the gas tax.
Machinery is set up under the new
law for the licensing of every motor fuel
dealer in the State. and the act pro-
hibits transporting across the State line
gasoline on which the tax has not been
paid.

Optimists' Evidences
While it is true that, at the
moment, intercollegiate compe.
tition appears to furnish pessi-
mists with more satisfactory evi-
dences than it furnishes optimists,
nevertheless, all optimiStS are
more certain of their evidences
than are peSSimiStS.
Needless to state, there are hun
dreds of men of mature judgment
who hesitate to become enthuSiaS'
tic in this matter of progress.
Many of this class question the
honesty of purpose of various or.
ganizations involved in the gen.
eral movement which has @s its
objective the promotion of the
adoption of recommended meas
ureS to he end that the col
legeS and universities of the coun-
try may maintain their athletic
activities on a high plane and
make efficient use Of sports for
educational purposes and char
acter building.
Progress resulting from the ef-
forts of conferences is often not
obvious. Nevertheless, j. IS prog
ress, even if many fail to recog-
nize it as such.
Conferences Blamed
In the matter of failure by
interested persons to recognize
progress, conferences, themselves,
are very much to blame.
Some procedures at conference
meetings are very often inter
ported as hocus-pocuS in character.
In other words, hard-bitten cynics
are quick to suspect MEN in con-
ferences if there is any ground
at all for belief that such men
have ulterior motives. Unfor-
tunately, the aims of many men
connected with conferences are
clouded by doubt.
Also out off many conference
meetings often come garbled &C
counts of what really took place.

These garbled accounts have re-

by published articles subsequent
to, and based on, the garbled
accounts.
It is doubtful if conferences can

STRONG RECORD
COMPILED BY
ST.MART|N'S
BY SID KATZNELL

When you have a terrible ath'
letic team it is very hard to Sc
cure games to improve your COM
bination. But when you have a
crack aggregation and can't book
games that's something unusual.
The st. Martins 100-pound bas-
ketball team, which has won over
20 straight victories without SUI
fering a defeat, are willing to
take a beating at the hands OF
any five in it's class. That is,
if any court club is capable OF
beating the Saints.
The Saints are particularly
anxious to clash with the Boys
Club quint, which has been dodg'
ing the challenge for the past
two weeks, according to Manager
Joe Barnes of the Martins. This
is what Barnes had to say about
the difficult situation surround
ing his team in regard to ar
ranging games:
Having a good team does
not often merit, because it is
hard to get games as a team
will not play you twice if you
put a club like the St. Martins
on the floor"
The Saints boast such excel
lent performers as Jim Roland,
Jim Durkin, Andy Farrell, Billy
Boyle, Runt Vincent and last but
not least, Midget Curtin. This
combination has played together
for the past four years. For
games with the Martins call
North 9799.
Eagles Expect Battle
Although the Skinker Eagles
have the greatest team since
their organization, they are the
under-dogs with their clash with
the stepping PasSon Pros tomor-
row afternoon at 3 o'clock at
Boiling Field.
The reason is that the visitors
have mauled down all kinds of
opposition, in fact they have lost
but one contest in Is starts.
The locals will use the same
lineup of Bennie and Evans, for.
wards; Allen center, and Radice
and Heagy, guards.
In a preliminary G. P. o. will
meet Boiling Field in a Govern.
ment League game at o'clock.
The Vic's Shop basketeers will
be reinforced for their battle
with the fast Parksburg Pros by
the addition of Wallace Hayes
who halls from way down in
Texas. The lad stands six feet
five in stocking feet. Hostilities
will start promptly at 3 O'Clock
in the Silver Spring Armory.
