Ely Rod and Gun Club
Transacts Much Business.

A large attendance was present for
the regular monthly meeting of the
Ely Rod and Gun Club, with Elias
LaBeau, president, presiding. Several
new members were admitted.
The Club went ON record taking
similar action as recommended by the
Arrowhead SportSmen'S Association, OF
which it is an affiliated member, and
the Izaak Walton League Chapter at
Tower, protesting the recent appoint
ment of the director and assistant
director of the division of game and
fish, both of whom are from southern
Minnesota.
DR.. j. E. Thompson had been recon-
mended by this club for the assistant
director position some time ago as
being man eminently fitted for this
position.
The Club also reaffirmed its un-
qualified opposition to any one-buck
law. Resolutions were authorized to
be sent to the conservation commission
covering these protests.
The Club went on record urging the
division of game and fish for immediate
employment of local wolf trappers to
cope with the increasing wolf popula-
ton in this territory.
A report on the annual winter meet
ing of the Arrowhead Sportsmens
Association, held last week at Eveleth
was given.
A resolution of coincidence was auth
orized to be sent to Mrs. w. d. Stewart
widow of the late director of the di-
vision of game and fish.
Following the meeting the members
enjoyed Dutch lunch.-J. B.

SAFE And SANE
FOR HOLIDAYS
Doctors Caution Against Too
Much Christmas Excitement
Keep Regular Hours.

Christmas celebrations are not always
Emamixed blessings for young children
according to Minnesota physicians.
"A weight graph showing the child's
weight from month to month through
out the year usually takes a sharp drop
over the holiday season." the doctors
point out in a bulletin cautioning
parents against allowing too many and
too late holiday parties. issued today.
Rugged youngsters may stand the
strain well enough" they say. They
make up for the excesses of the
Christmas season when they get back
ION sensible schedule. Children who
are in any way under par. nervous or
iunder weight, may be upset for the
winter
The doctors say very little about the
Christmas candy and other sweets as
holiday offenders though it is recog-
nized that over-indulgence in these
may produce temporary upsets. More
important is the prolonged excitement
IN many households with late hours
and omitted rest periods.
1T is true, of course, that Christmas
comes but once a year, a fortunate
circumstance for most children. But
there IS no reason. on that account, to
allow it to become an ordeal Children,s
parties should be daytime parties and
household festivities for the elders
should be planned so that the children
can be in bed at their regular hours.
"A great deal Of winter illness and
many prolonged colds could probably be
avoided if it weren't for the break in
routine allowed during the holidays.
Christmas holidays should be the
Ihappiest ard most memorable periods
IN the little child's life. To make them
50, however, there is no need to exhaust
THE child"

Truck Length Limit
On Highways 40 Feet.

Orders have gone out to State High
way department patrolmen to limit
lengths of all truck, or truck combina-
tions of trucks and trailers, to 40 feet.
John P Arnoldy, chief of the High
way patrol, said trucks and trailers are
claSsed as one vehicle under the law
and that Chapter 225, Section 35, High
way laws of 1888, sets the maximum
length. This section supercedes all
other legislation and settles disputes
on the subject in various parts of the
state, Chief Arnoldy said. Lengths OF
trucks. or truck combinations, vary in
adjoining states. In Iowa the max
imum length is As feet, in Wisconsin
go feet until 1885 when it will become
40 feet; North Dakota, so feet. and
South Dakota, 38 feet.

While it has been cold here,
Robert Ripley in speaking on
the Admiral Byrd program on
Sunday evening told that the
coldest weather last year re-
corded in the world was in
South Africa and that on an
airplane trip over the equator a
temperature of $50 degrees be-
low zero was experienced.
Believe it or not" He also
told of the mosquitoes in the
artic circle which are par
ticularly viscious. What these
pests live on, he failed to state.
How they kept warm also is a
mystery with the thermometer
at 70 below zero. Perhaps the
question asked here of a friend
who had seen mosquitoes in
freezing weather, "did they
have their artics up?" would
apply.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immateria1.

Commissioner Farrell of Du-
luth brought out an idea last
week which sounds rather
good. He said the stone from
the razed government building
in court house square should be
used in building city garage
and not thrown into the lake as
probably would be done when
the building is razed. Under
the CWA the garage could be
built. If this does not appeal
to the aesthetic Zenith cityites
we suggest that it be shipped
to the Ely Airport and a hand
some hangar constructed there
from.
We need hangar at our air.
port and make a suggestion
that the same be so arranged to
furnish a skating rink and
hockey field in the winter and
a hangar in the summer. With
a suitable hangar, Ely would
assume a prominent place on
the airmap for transcontinental
air service besides placing US
in the forefront as the pos
SCISSOR of the only hangar north
of Duluth. Think it over. This
may not be as foolish as some
would think.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 (UP)
Roosevelt regards the new
Germany of Chancellor Hitler as
the KEY to the world disarma-
ment problem.
He feels, close associates say,
that unless the Berlin govern
ment can be brought to the idea
of subscribing unreservedly to
the Macdonald plan for the
creation Of an international COM
mission to inspect and report on
the ornaments of the great
powers, the major drive Of the
United States, Great Britain and
Italy for national security
through the elimination of inter-
national fear and suspicion will
go for naught.
Norman Davis, the chief Amer
lean delegate to the Geneva con-
ference, is said, went to Europe
this weeks with the intention of
doing all in his power to bring
Chancellor Hitler and his gov
eminent to agree to the plan.
Should Germany agree, it is
said, France has already practi-
cally committed itself to come
in and with France, Great Bri-
tain, Italy and Russia, it is felt
almost certainly. will adhere.
Informal assurances to this eff
feet have already been received
from some of the European pow
ers.
President Roosevelt, it is ex-
planned, will stand ready to bring
the United States within the
scope of the plan and consent to
the ornaments of the United
States to be placed under inter-
national supervision, if the other
great powers will do the same.
As he sailed for a week end
cruise aboard Vincent Astor's
yacht Nourmahal. it was expect
ed that the president would give
more thought to the disarma-
ment situation than to any other
problem of foreign policy now
befre his administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt is believed to
have talked over the subject at
length with Norman H. Davis,
head of this country's delega-
ton, in conferences at Hyde
Park and by telephone before
Davis sailed this week for
Europe.
Briefly, the plan would not
only authorize frequent inspec-
tions of the arms stores of the
various nations, but also a close
check on the manufacture and
shipment of war material.
1t was understood that the
European political situation since
the ascendancy of the Hitler
government has been the cause

FLAMES BURST
ASPLANEHITS
STEEL FENCE
Control Lost Twice AS
Heavily Loaded Bellanca
Goes Down Runway
ITALIAN HAD SOUGHT
TO FLY TO BAGDAD

FLOYD BENNETT FIELD, N.
Y, Sept. 2. (UP).-The spectacu-
lar career of Francesca de Pinedo,
one of the most daring world avi-
ators, ended in a burst Of flames
today when his Bellanca mono
plane crashed as he was taking
off on a nonstop flight to Bag
dad.
The famous Italian pilot had
launched his heavily loaded plane
down the concrete runway at
7:01 a. m. 1t attained terrific
speed, then began swerving under
the cargo of 1927 gallons of gas
cline. Once it left the runway but
De Pinedo brought it back. An
instant later it lurched off the
course again and De Pinedo lost
control of the plane, missed the
administration building where a
number of spectators were on the
plaza. and crashed against steel
fence.
De Pinedo had hoped to break
the TeCOTO LUZ HoH-olOp uIo'oiNO
flight set recently by the French
tiiers, Rossi and Codos.
The plane had neither radio
nor robot pilot. but it did have
an apparatus which would spray
water in the flier's face in case he
fell asleep and let the plane lose
too much altitude or get off of its
course.
The plane had a cruising speed
of 145 miles an hour and top
speed of 1877 miles.
Hugo d'Annunzio was the gen
erals technical advisor and had
entered into the preparation of
the plane for several months. A
route along the coast to New
foundland. then swinging out
along the coast to Newfoundland
and then out over the Great Cir
Gle course across the Atlantic had
been chosen. De Pinedo had
hoped to pass over Rome and ID
drop a note addressed to Premier
Mussolini.
