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

Christmas celebrations are not always
lunmixed blessings for young children
according to Minnesota physicians.
"A weight graph showing the child's
weight from month to month through
ont the year usually takes a sharp drop
over the holiday season" the doctors
point out in 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 excuses of the
Christmas season when they get back
ION a sensible schedule. Children who
are in any way under par. nervous or
under 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 oyer-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
aappiest and most memorable periods
in the little child's life. To make them
SO, however, there is no need to exhaust
the child"

While it has been cold here,
Robert Ripley in speaking on
the Admiral Byrd program on
Sunday evening told that the
coolest 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.

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 IS, 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
so feet until 1885 when it will become
40 feet; North Dakota, SO feet. and
South Dakota, 38 feet.

a hangar in the summer. With
a suitable hangar, Ely would

On This
Occasion
Just 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 RACED government building
in court house square should be
used in building a city garage
and not thrown into the lake as
probably would be done when
the building is RACED. 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.

DETROIT, october 16.-Although
Michigan, after being the first State
to ratify the eighteenth amendment
furnished one of the leading figures
in drafting the repeal plank in the
Democratic national platform and then
became the first commonwealth to vote
for repeal, it is not yet ready Tor the
return of hard liquor"
If the prohibition amendment were
to pass out of existence tomorrow
Michigan would face the same delay
In obtaining whiskey and wine as 1t
did when 80 beer was legalized, because
certain dry laws still remain on the
State statute books.
However. Gov. William A. Comstock,
who helped write the repeal plank into
the Democratic national platform at the
Chicago convention last year, is max
ing plans for special session OF the
LEGISLATURE to set up a State control
of whiskey and wines, to augment the
law which permits the manufacture and
sale of 80 beer.
The creation of a commission to con-
troll the manufacture and sale of liquor
was approved at q referendum held in
conjunction with the general election
in Michigan last November, but the
Legislature dealt only with the control
OF beer. 1t set up a commission repre-
senting each congressional district OF
the State.
The legality of enacting a new law
permitting the manufacture. distribu-
tion and sale of liquor while the eight
eenth amendment remains in the Fed
eral Constitution is one of the problems
Gov Comstock and his advisers are

lieves. however, that if such a law is
passed by the Legislature, conflict can
be avoided with the Federal Constitu-
ton by withholding his signature to
the act until the very moment the
eighteenth amendment legally passes
out of existence.
Just what form of control is to be
approved by the Legislature gives prom
1se of creating more difficult problem.
Hearings have been held by legislative
committee on various proposals, rang
ing from State-operated stores under
the permit system to a contention that
the sale should be through drug stores
