the Catholic church has issued a de-
cree providing that confirmation must

ing to press reports issued last week.
Issuance of the decree was announced
by Monsignor Artura Mazzoni, under
secretary of the congregation. The de-
cree will be effective in the United
States and the news of its issuance will
be of interest to large number of our
readers. Monsignor Mazzoni said:
This decree is designed to make the
order of these sacraments uniform
throughout the world.
I'm the United States, the chief
difficulty heretofore has been the large
size of the dioceses which has pre-
vented the bishop from getting around
frequently to the parishes to administer

Optimistic Outlook By
Prominent Steel Man.

Prominent among the visitors in
Duluth last week was r. j. Wysor of
Youngstown, vice president in charge
of all operations of the Republic Steel
Corporation. In company of Francis j.
Webb of Duluth, manager of ore mines
for the corporation, he has inspected
the properties on the Mesabi range.
AS is quite well understood, the Re-
public Steel Corporation, has interests
in important iron ore leases of mines
other than those which itself operates,
as for example. the Zenith mine of this
city, the Mahoning and Susquehanna
mines at Hibbing. and Mesaba Cliffs
properties in Itasca county.
Mr. Wysor was feeling in a hopeful
mood concerning the outlook for the
steel industry, when he was in Duluth.
He discussed the outlook briefly, in
substance, as follows:
There has been of late definite
improvement in sentiment in the steel
industry. It may be described as hope
full, but it also may be said that hope
is rapidly crystallizing into confidence
And this confidence is being inspired
by real happenings which directly or
indirectly will make business for the
steel industry. The good crops in the
northwest, and the advances in the
prices for products of the farm, give
promise of better times for agriculture
and the farmer is a large ultimate
consumer of steel. We think the pipe
industry win improve. The petroleum
industry is said to be in much better
shape than before in some time. A
return of normal business conditions
viii be felt Immediately by the rail-
roads. and these large consumers OF
steel have an accumulation of needs
Steel enters so largely into the COM
pick civilization of the world that there
can be no sustained upturn without
bringing benefits and the steel industry
in turn, confers many benefits by virtue
of its large operations, which include
the great iron ore industry"

DUCK HUNTERS
GET A BREAK
Changes Made Increase Duck
Season; Other Matters Are
Being Studied.

Minnesota duck hunters in general
throughout the state, are heartily IL
accord with the Federal order, approved
by President Hoover, which establishe.
a longer open season this fall OWNS
to a shortage of ducks last year, the
season was curtailed to 80 days. I'm.
proved conditions concerning water
supply in breeding grounds in the north
central states and Canada are respons.
ible for the two months period to pre-
vail this fall and winter, with the open
ing and closing dates to vary in differ.
ent sections of the country The U. S
Department of Agriculture fixed these
dates after consulting with state game
departments and the Migratory Birc
Advisory board. The open duck season
in this state will extend from October
1st to November 30th.
Daily bag limits remain at II as pro-
Wded by Minnesota statutes, except
that the bag shall contain not more
than ten birds in the aggregate of can.
vasbacks, redheads, greater or lesser
bluebills, ringneckS, bluewing, green
wing and cinnamon teal, gadwalls and
shovellers. The season was closed or
ruddy ducks and buffleheads, in addit-
ion to the wood duck.
The present noon hour opening was
continued. Control of batting, rest days
and other regulations were left 10 the
individual states.
w. T. Cox, Minnesota's Commissioner
of Conservation, had hoped for a six
weeks open shooting season for migra-
tory waterfowl. However, he says
Because of the feeling of satisfaction
that is expressed by our sportsmen and
conservationists, I approve of the new
and prolonged season, which will dc
much to erase the keen disappointment
encountered by our duck hunters last
fall"
At the instance of W. D. Stewart
Director of Game and Fish, Mime
sofas game wardens have completed a
survey relative to the condition of up
land game birds. Also a QUESTIONABLE
is being sent out to prominent sports
men and conservationists to obtain adj
ditional information and personal views
pertaining to the game situation. The
results are now being compiled and the
data obtained will be used to determine
the length of the open season and the
counties to be opened for shooting ring
neck pheasants, ruffed grouse or native
cartridges or quail.
Each warden recommended opening
and closing dates for the seasons, size
of bag limits, together with state
ment as to whether or not female
ring neck pheasants should be taken
Each recommendation was based upon
conditions in the district of the warden
Game wardens consulted with sports
mems organizations in their districts
prominent farmers and others inter-
ested in upland game birds and the
protection of wild life in general.
When the information from wardens
and others has been compiled and re-
viewed, the seasons, bag limits and
counties will be definitely decided upon
and announced by the department
This should be by September l.

ROCKET CAR
STATE FAIR
Sig Haugdahl Will Drive a
Rocket Propelled Car in
Exhibition Runs.

The only rocket propelled racing car
in the world will be an added attrac-
ton at the Minnesota State Fair and
Northwest Livestock Show, September
3 30 10, it was announced today by
Raymond A. Lee, secretary.
Arrangements have been concluded
with Sig Haugdahl, Minnesota racing
driver and four times holder of the
worlds dirt track championship, to ex-
hibit the rocket car. The speed crea-
ton, developed by Haugdahl after two
and one-half years of experimentation
is the first racing vehicle designed pri-
marily for rocket propulsion. It was
built at cost of more than $4,000 and
has been proved successful in recent
trials.
Haugdahl's car is equipped with 80
tubes, 10 inches long, into which are
packet rockets of special chemical
mixed with gunpowder. The rockets
are ignited by spark gap controlled
from the dash board.
The theory which drives the car Is
exactly the same as that which sends
sky-rocket high in the air. The pres
sure of the burning chemical and pow
der against the air gives the car its
motive power.
Although Haugdahl has attained a
speed of rs miles an hour in trials, the
purpose of bringing the car here is not
to demonstrate speed, but 10 give Fair
visitors an opportunity to see the new
est contribution to the automobile world
The car itself is constructed on a
racing chassis, with lines carefully
stream-lined and with a stabilizing fin
at the rear. The propulsion tubes are
of steel especially fabricated to resist
high temperatures.

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

fTeSlUeHC hoover III Ills az
ceptance speech made it all too
clear how he stood on the is
sues of the day. Naturally the
address will not set we'll with
the opposition which has spent
its time in railing at the short
comings of the Republican
party and the Republican
president. The president in
his talk failed to throw back
any of the mud heaved his way.
Hoover never was like that.
While not dispenser of
flowery language either for
himself or others, he confines
himself to issues which he
plainly discusses. However,
he did hand out a boquet to
the Democrats in thanking
them for the cooperation ex-
tended on matters of import to
the nation and then took the
wind out of their sails on the
prohibition question with
which they were to carry the
several states of the Union by
storm.
He met the issues fairly and
squarely. If such a course
means defeat in the election
next fall, we feel that the
country can stand almost any,
thing after what we have gone
through during the past three
years. Don't lose sight of the
fact that we have had a Demo
cratic congress which has
worked like a clock with the
propositions of President
Hoover because the PROPOSE
tions were sound. Besides,
all important suggestions made
in the session for alienation of
economic ills, originated with
the president. Naturally it is
kind of CALLING to work har-
moniously with a president of
the opposing party and this
handicap is supposed to be cor
rected in the elections when
the Demos expect to put over
Roosevelt and have it all their
own way without splitting the
credit.
A big talking point in the
campaign was to have been the
relief bill passed just before
adjournment which placed at
the disposal of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation the
huge sum of $3,80O,000,000 to
be administered for unemploy-
ment relief and the restoration
of credit and confidence. This
was to have been made an
issue in the campaign as the
management of the Corpora
ton was to be attacked and
handicapped in every way pos
sible. President Hoover at
once spiked this issue by ask
ing that the board of the cor
poration be increased to eight
with the provision that four of
its members be Democrats and
four Republicans. The Demo-
cratic house refused to accede
to this request as it wanted to
use this for campaign material.
However, the clause was in the
bill when it was signed. You
will hear no more about this.
There is no politics in relief.
Besides the Chairman and
three members of the board
are Democrats.
