The Birthday Party sponsored by the
American Legion for President RooSe-
velt on Tuesday evening at the Wash
ington Auditorium was huge success
and the proceeds of the affair, in the
neighborhood of $3.50, will be added
to the fund for the endowment of the
Warm Springs sanitarium for infantile
paralysis victims.
For the first time the sound system
installed by the Ely Electric & Radio
Service was given a fair test and proved
very satisfactory insofar as the stage
sounds were concerned. The radio re-
ception was bad that evening and no
fair test could be made of the system
on this score.
The ball was attended by an overflow
crowd to music furnished by DuSty's
Rhythm Roggies. On one occasion the
radio was utilized and music from the
Ambassador Hotel at New York was
furnished for dancing. Paper hats,

tributed and these favors lent much to
the gayety of the evening.
Festivities ceased at about 1890 and
the address of President Roosevelt was
listened to. The address was char
acteristic of the president inasmuch as
it was terse, to the point, and not long
enough to tire. Col. H. L. Dougherty,
in charge of the festivities throughout
the nation, made few brief remarks
and introduced President Roosevelt.
1t was fine party in honor of the
fifty second birthday of the president
and in common with the balance of the
country and thousands of other cities
and towns in the nation, Ely did its
part to the enjoyment of those who
attended and the assistance of worthy
cause.

In the Spanish-American War, a
single American division of 10,759 men
had 4,442 cases of typhoid. In the
World War when the United States had
the largest army in the field in its
history there were only 297 cases in the
entire army for the year 1918.
The United States Public Health Ser
vice reports 612 outbreaks of COM
municable disease, traced to impure
milk, between 1908 and 1927. More
than $4,000 persons suffered in these
epidemics, and more than 400 died.
Prevention is the byword of dentistry
today, and only through regular visits
to the dentist can the health of the
mouth be maintained.
Obesity in children is seldom serious
condition and ordinarily is corrected
by restricted diet and regularity of
exercise.
Every twenty-six minutes some one
in the United States dies of appendi-

the hospital are responsible for $4,000
of the 10000 appendicitis deaths oc-
curing each year in this country.
During Colonial days, Washington
was so oppressed by illness that he once
determined to give up all hope of being
able to continue military life and
more than once he even gave up ali
hope of living.

transportation in Newfoundland

In winter when harbors are frozen,
dogs are the only means of transporta-
tlon and communication In northern
Newfoundland. Mail is carried by
sledge over 200 miles from the railroad
terminal. This distance, however,
would seem short to an Alaskan mail
man. One of the longest mail routes
in Alaska, from Kotzebue to Point Bar
row, stretches 500 miles over treeless
snow barrens, and along rocky shores,
with never stake to mark the trail.

The Fire Protection Commission met
Yesterday and started to formulate plans
for fire protection in this municipality.
When the work of the Commission is
completed it will be presented to the Co.
Ionial Council for final action.
Recent fires have disclosed that when
the local press harped upon the unpar-
donable unprepareGness in cur Fire
Department it was no exaggeratlon.
Only the wind direction saved the entire
town of ChristiansteG from destruction
in the recent Strand Street fire which
wiped out three large wall buildings and
two lumber sheds.
AS people, we are quick to forget
our worst experiences and slow to sur
round ourselves with the necessary safe
guards against the recurrence OF our
most painful experiences. But can we
at this tire afford to be let hargic when
the ruins of magnificent buildings lie
around us asia grim reminder OF falling
to do those things which we ought TO
have done.
The expenditure of few thousand
dollars should be no barrier to the es-
tablishing of good system OF fire pro.
