Lieut.. Briggs said that the radio
drill conducted last week was noteworthy
in several respects. All OF the Reserve
stations in commission throughout the
United States were present for the drill,
and 100 per cent station attendance
was realized for the first time. Every
station was closely tuned to proper IRE
quency. NED, the control station Tor
the District of Columbia, he reported,
led them all, being logged as perfect

cants and necessitate a larger in
vestment of his time in any kind
of motor trips which he may make"
ANY deterioration in highways
is bound to becostly in still other
ways, the statement points out.
Among these are listed inefficiency
in truck transportation, increased
farm costs, a vastly reduced vol
ume of motor touring which has
built up a new industry within the
past decade, and an adverse effect
upon the public education which
has benefited enormously in recent
years as a result Of road construc-
ton which has made school con-
solidation possible.
. Present conditions demand that
we look the issue squarely in the
face" says Mr.. Cutler. ''The clam
or for economy can easily be car
ried to far and as it applies to road
maintenances monies, it already
has created an acute situation. If
it continues unchecked, our high
way system faces the prospect Of
being set back many years in its
development"
Some states may be obliged to
postpone construction but the pub
lies investment in highways must
always be protected by adequate
maintenance" Mr.. Cutler points
out.

Watch Out for Slippery
Spots on Pavement
Commissioner Babcock Urges Care
on Pavements Made Slippery
by Mists

1--WE are reaching a season
in which in other years hun
dreds of accidents have hap
pened, many motorists have
been injured, and some have
been killed, because of sur
prise slippery spots on pave
ments," State Highway COM
missioner c. M. Babcock warns
in a special highway bulletin.
"A. fog or light mist passing
over a paved road may make a
treacherously slippery place for
perhaps only a short distance.
A pavement that has been per-
fectly clear for many miles
may suddenly develop a num-
Der of these spots. No signs
or flags can be placed to warn
of them because of their I'M
heralded appearances and dis
appearances.
IF a section = of pavement
ahead of a driver seems to have
a different color, or nsunus-
ual Shine it is wise to slow
down before getting on ito :, it
because the icy coating may be
so even and smooth that con

ficult. A conservative speed at

persons coming from apparently
good stock. In these cases mental
illness is generally the result OF
life long bad habits of thought: the
habit of brooding; Of self deprecia-
ton; of evading the real work by
slipping into the world OF day
dreams and Imagination. These
habits, like others, begin in child
hood. To begin with, no one notices
them particularly, not even the
child himself, probably, but years
of practicing them have their re-
suit. The river Of the mind digs it.
self so deep in these grooves that
it is impossible to swerve 1t into
healthy channels.
It is important to lay the found
alton for minds that will face the
difficult problems of these times
squarely without evasion and with
out giving way, the doctors believe.
Children must not be jammed up
with a mass of fears and preju-
dices, and it is the solemn respon-
: sibility of parents and teachers to
asee that, neither their own nor
other peoples fears and prejudices
are foisted upon them.
It is the sure sign Of the mental
incompetent to be narrow" they
say. The mental incompetent is US
ually full of religious class and
racial prejudices. He cannot think
clearly because his mind is a bun
die of misconceptions and supersti-
lions.
The bulletin instructs parents to
watch for the child who is stand
offish and odd and inclined to get
his satisfactions from day dream
ing rather than from conquering
the world of fact. These, inclina-
tons can be overcome with wise
guidance. They must be overcome
according to the doctor, if the
child is to be mentally competent
and sturdy.
When boys and girls are young
their habits are not fixed, they are
able to adapt themselves the ply
sicians conclude. They can literally
change their personalities. The
problem Of a great deal of mental
disease must be met and conquer
ed in the children.

Family Doctor Had Solved

st. PauHOct. 1.-THE return to his
former trusted position of the FAM
lily doctor is regarded by Mime
sofa State Medical Association re-
preventative as one of the few
bright aspects of the economic de-
preston. =
If the current hard times yield
nothing more on the credit side OF
the public ledger than the rein
trenchment in public trust and
esteem of the family physician it
will have had its good use. says to-
days bulletin from the Public
Health Education Committee Of
the Minnesota State Medical As
ISOLATION.
The trend away from the family
doctor toward the specialists and
medical centers began to appear
some 20 years ago when the ad-
rvances of medical science appear
ed to be coming so fast that the
ordinary practising physician could
not hope to keep up with them.
Medical science, like most other
lines of human progress moves in
Cycles, however. A good many of
the people who were certain that
their troubles required the service
of specialists find they are be-
yond their price, that the family
doctor has caught up pretty thor
oughly with the most advanced
practises and furthermore that he
is in position to keep up, as he may
not have been in the old days.
The most practical. immediate
answer to the problem of the costs
of medical care lies in the en-
ployment of a good general practi-
toner who will be able to familiar
ize himself with the family and its
history. He will guide the family,
maintaining health rather than
merely treating it in disease, the
committee declares.
The specialists and the medical
centres are still important and es-
sential parts of our system Of med

SOCIETY SO YEARS AGO

Elghty-three years ago THIS
month, on October 20, 1S49, the
pioneers of the first territorial leg
islature established the Minnesota
Historical society-the first perma-
nent institution to be created in
Minnesota. The steady growth Of
the society during more than three
quarters of a century is convincing
evidence that those pioneers right
ly regarded that institution as an
essential part of frontier life.
. Today, Minnesotans consider the
work of their state historical so
ciety equally vital. In spite of a
general economic slump the society
is maintaining its normal member
ship level of nearly 1900 persons,
according to the report Of DR.. Theo-
dore c. Blegen, superintendent, to
the society's executive council on
October 10. In addition, the SER
vice of the society to the public is
steadily increasing, DR.. Blegen
pointed out. Since January 1, 1882,
for example, the newspaper depart
ment has served 4S per cent more
readers than during the same per-
iod for 1881; and the patronage of
the societys manuscript division
increased more than 26 per cent.

DISTRICT FOOTBALL NOTES
By Wilfred HetZel


Tomorrow Albany and Sank Gen.
ire write the third chapter in their
football rivalry. The visitors took
home the bacon in both previous
games by scores of At to 0 and IA
to 0.
The locals will be out to score
their third victory in starts and
their first over Albany. Albany
dropped 20 to 13 fracas at Long
Prairie last week.
The two teams will be evenly
matched in weight and both have
about the same style of attack. A
pretty closely contested game
should develop.
After losing five straight games,
Starbuck is expected to register a
win over Morris Friday. Starbuck
dropped a II to O contest to Mel
rose Friday.
Tomorrow night Parkers Prairie
journeys to Glenwood in the only
district game of the week. It will
be the last night game on the
Glenwood schedule.
Long Prairie is idle this week and
is preparing for it's all-important
scrap with Melrose next Wednes-
day The Prairie team is unbeaten
in the district and it is up to Mel
rose to knock them off.
Alexandria travels to Montevideo
Saturday and is in for another lick
ing. Montevideo looks even strong
er than Glenwood and that is look
ing mighty strong.
Wadena is host to Sank Rapids
in foodlight game tomorrow and
is heavily favored to win. Sank
Rapids has never before played at
night.
Foley held a strong Maple Lake
eleven to a 6 to o win last week as
way of showing that it has re-
covered from the 10 to o trimming
it accepted from the locals fort
night ago.

Keep the Road Work i,
Up to Prevent Losses
Road Builders Head Points Out
Importance of Road Upkeep to
Prevent Investment Loss

In opening a campaign to bring
to the attention of the Nations
motorists the risks that lie in too
severe contraction in state, county
and city budgets, T. H. Cutler, pres
ident of the American Road Build
ers' Association, points out that not
only has new highway construction
been affected but that destruction
of those already built is inevitable
if upkeep is neglected.
The profits of adequate invest
ment in maintenance of present
highways are too great to be ig-
nored regardless of the situation
Of stress which unquestionably ex-
lists at the present time, says Mr..
Cutler.
For one thing" he declares,
highway maintenance is natural
field for the absorption of local
Unemployment in all parts of the
country. These workers can be re-
cruited from many classes of those
now out Of work for the field is one
that primarily requires energy and
aptitude.
1.-THE value of sound maintenance
to transportation should be suffic-
iently abvious to require no elab-
grafton. With the cost of traffic
accidents estimated at $500, 900
yearly, we are in an excellent fay
to increase it by reducing highway
maintenance expenditures which
can only mean an increase in oper-
ating hazards due to neglected
road conditions. We never will re-
duce our tremendous accident cost
by allowing our highways to deter
iorate."
"Those clamoring for reduction
in highway expenditures overlook
the fact that other and greater ex-
penditures will be demanded OF
motorists as a result" says Mr.
Cutler. ., ..-... :

what we shall return to without

ing June 30, 1892, an increase of
81 ,O52, 1890 over the preceding
year was made in the total of ben
efits secured for world war veter-
ans. The grand total for 1892 was
