Juvenile Gang
Members Home

Members of the Mexican boys
gang who had been conducting
series of petty robberies and who
were apprehended by the probation
office, were returnd to their homes
last night by E. A. Nance, proba-
tion officer.
Seven members of the gang were
taken to the oetentlon home for
few days and yesterday were taken
before the Calexico chief of police
who remarked in astonishment not
only at their change in morale but
on their unusually clean appear
ance.
Nance explained that the first
thing done for juveniles sent TO the
home is to give them a good scrub
bing after which they are given
the detention home clothes and set
to work scrubbing their own SO that
the garments will be fresh and
clean when they are sent home.
The boys in question were not
made wards of the court this time,
but if they are apprehended again,
they will become court wards.
Nance rounded up few more
juveniles in Calexico who had
committed minor offenses.

PHOENIX, AriZ.. Sept. D. (U.P)-
The special investigating board Of
Gov. B. 5. Moeur. to attempt %
bring peace in the land dispute
between w.<.e and alien farmers
OF the Salt River Valley is expect
ed to hold its first meeting Mon
day or Tuesday, 1t was learned to-
day.
u will make the names OF the
board public the first of the week, -
Governor Moeur said today. Il
intend to go into this thing very
thoroughly with both sides repre-
sented by leaders in the two ae-
tions. We are going to end the
trouble once and for all next week
if this is possible and every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent
further disorder or terrorism"
The board is TO be composed Of
white and japanese farmers. The
governor decided to appoint the
special board following three bomb
ings of irrigation bitches on Japa-
nese worked farms earlier this
week. The trouble has been brew
ing in the valley for sometime

farmers that the OrientalS and
Hindus have been taking over land
law.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK. Sept. %. U.Pl -
Led by utility stocks the stock
market today made its fifth sue
cessiye advance. Gains were small
in most sections and there were
few lowers as a result of profit
taking but the trend continued
ahead and sentiment In Wall street
measurably improved.
Near the close rails experienced
lift to small gains after expert
encing profit taking. The new buy
ing was induced by word from
Hyde Park the President favored
the new rail setup involving merg-
er of two railroad associations the
new group to be headed by j. j.
Pelley. President of New York, New
Haven and Hartford and one of the
ccuntry's outstanding railroad men,
and to be given authority to han
die railroad problems.
The good showing in utility stock
was based partly on the fact the
group had recently been oversold
and partly on hopes the govern
ment would withhold funds of the
PWA for building municipal plants
in competition with privately owned
units.
Utility gains ranged to more than
a point with practically every issue
of the group participating.
Textile shares continued to gain
on the theory the textile strike
soon would be ended. Return of
textile workers would materially
aid electric power plants, it was
pointed out. Associated Gas system
in its weekly power report today
indicated that in some of the tex
tile centers use of its power had
declined more than "a per cent.
Mail order shares held around
the previous close.
Silver shares We're dull but firm.
Reports are the government has
resumed its silver buying program
abroad and rumors circulate that
a silver price rise for purchases
of domestic metal from the mines
may be in order soon. Gold min
ers were mixed with Alaska Juneau
losing scme of yesterdays gains.
Steels were steady to firm.
Sales today approximated $780,
900 shares against 100000 shares
last Saturday. Curb sales were
$4,000 shares today against $4,000
shares last Saturday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing

POST STORM
CHECK SHOWS
MUCHDAMAGE
BY RAY G. MARSHALL
United Press Staff COrrespOndent

United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Sept. %. After a
day and night OF horror, Japan
rallied today from the shock of a
typhoon that killed at least 1861
persons and began the tremendous
task of rehabilitating its great in
dustrial cities in the Osaka and
Kyota prefectures.
There was much work to be done.
Relief workers estimated 10000
persons needed food and clothing.
The winds blew down thousands OF
buildings. Flood waters inundated
countless others.
Wind and rain, beating on the
rice fields, destroyed 20 per cent
of the staple crop. Power plants
were crippled, and many cities were
without electricity.
In hospitals were hundreds of
injured, many of them school chill
dren, principal sufferers in the dis
aster. The list of injured reported
officially numbered 1889 persons.
The tidal waves followed the
winds in from the Pacific across
central and southern Japan washed
ashore hundreds of small fishing
boats and Is large coastal steamers.
Large boats managed to escape the
{ fury of the storm by sailing to
open water.
Heroism Reported
A nation accustomed to natural
disasters-thousand have been kill
ed in modern times by earthquakes,
typhoons and fires in Japan re-
covered quickly and set to work to
repair the havoc. The officials OF
Osaka prefecture appropriated TO-
100000 yen for relief and emergency
construction. The Japanese cabinet
met. in special session to consider
additional appropriations.
The storm had its heroes as well
as its victims. In Osaka, Masuji
Ashida, a school teacher, seeing
the exit of his classroom collaps-
| ing. formed an arch of his own
body and supported the falling
walls until the children had escap-
ed. His crushed body was dug from
the wreckage today.
Property damage was SO extern
sive that officials feared a $780,
100000 estimate would not cover
| it. Besides the $500 structures top
pied over by the wind or flooded

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-07-06

Michigan and the first white man to visit the
present states of Michigan and Wisconsin. In
view Of the latter fact, 1t would seem appro-
pirate IL either or both of these states had
chosen to perpetuate his name In at least one
OF its towns, counties or rivers. But you will
search the gazetteer in vain for such name.
1t is true that Nicolet tablet was dedicated
on Mackinac island in Michigan by the Mackinac
Island State Park commission and the Michigan
Historical commission on July IL, 1915, and that
In the Wisconsin State Historical society at Mad
ison hangs painting by Edwin Willard Deming
depicting Nicolet's meeting with the Winneba-
goes on the shores of Green Bay. But aside from
these memorials he has been neglected by two
commemorative who had the best reason for
remembering him.
However July Of this year marks the begin
ming of the tercentennia celebration of the state
of Michigan and the week Of July to will be
observed as 'Nicolet Week" on Mackinac island
where a pageant, sponsored by the Michigan
Daughters of the American Revolution, Daugh-
tiers of 1912 and the Michigan Historical COM
mission, will help bring his name out of the
obscurity into which it has been lost for three
centuries and make it better known not only to
citizens Of that state but to all Americans as
well.
Nicolet was born in Cherbourg, France, about
1893 and as young he is described as
being "full of religious zeal and enthusiasm and
possessed of consuming desire for adventure"
This naturally led him to seek his fortune In
Frances dominions across the Atlantic and In
1913 he cast his lot with Champlain, the
Founder of New France"
Champlain already had instituted policy or
sending promising young followers to the Indians
80 that they could gain a knowledge of the Ian
guages, customs country and wOodlore Of the
red man.
Nicolet was sent to the Algonquins on the Isle
des Allumettes in the Ottawa river. Here he
lived among the Indians as one Of them and for
two years did not see fellow countryman- Be
coming trusted friend, he was made one OF an
embassy Of some 400 Algonquins who journeyed
to the Iroquois and negotiated temporary peace
with that traditional enemy.
After his two years with the Algonquins, Moo
let next took up residence with the Nipissngs,
near the lake which bears their name He re-
NAMED there for eight nine years. He was
recalled by Champlain in 1888 and instructed TO
prepare for the trip into the western wilderness
"to learn of those distant Western people, who
had neither hair nor boards, and who journeyed
in great canoes"
1t was believed these people might be the ORR

Indian was about to be put to death by the
Algonquins. The Sokokis were allies of the Iro-
quois and Nicolet knew that If the AlgonQuins
killed the captive that it meant renewal of the
bloody strife between the Algonquins and the
roquoig.
1t was then late In October and ice was
forming in the river. Nicolet fastened aboard
a shallOp, making for Sillery. A squall struck
the boat, overturning it and throwing Nicolet, q
friend and the crew into the icy water. One by
one they went down. Only Nicolet and one other
were left.
Then, chilled by the bitter cold and exhausted

to his friend: snake for the shore, De Chavigny;
you swim. Bid good-by to my wife and chill.
dren; apa going to God"
A moment later he disappeared forever.
"Nicolet was not great explorer like Cham
plain" declared Father Campbell who spoke at
the dedication Of the Nicolet tablet the island
in 1915, mot picturesque governor like Fronte-
nae; or even a successful discoverer like Mar
quette; nor a martyr like the devoted Jesuit
missionaries who followed the Nicolet train into
the Northwest, Brebeuf, Jogues, Daniel and Gar
reau, since cauonized by the Church of Rome.
"He was simply an Indian interpreter and ex-
plorer, unspoiled by selfish ambition surround
ings calculated to destroy every noble ambition,
who proved beneath so plain an exterior To be
a man whose virtues may be proposed to the
youth Of our country as an example and an In
spiration."
In his tribute to Nicolet another great church
man, Right Rev. Bishop Frank A. OBrien, has
said "Under the banner of the Cross he went
forward. He led his chosen bands through Rilds
unknown Nicolet was intrepid, unafraid, maJes-
tic and courageous"
Certainly such person deserves better fate
than to be forgotten man" In American his
tory and one of the purposes of the pageant
that is being given In northern Michigan Is to
pay him richly deserved, though belated, trib-
Ute But he is not the only historic figure who
is to be memoriazed during the week, for the
whole thrilling story of the Straits settlements
be depicted by 300 costumed performers.
Included in the episodes of the pageant be-
sides the arrival of Nicolet are the coming Of
the Jesuit missionaries the era Of the explorers
Joliet La Sale and Tonti; the rule Of Cadil-
lac at Michillimackinac (the original name OF
the place. the British regime and the famous
massacre there during Pontiac's war; the con-
test between the British and the Americans for
possession of this strategic spot during the
Revolution and again during the War Of 1872;
and the beginning Of the American fur trade
under John Jacob Astor.
For all of these are links in the chain Of
Mackinacs history which began on a July day
300 years ago with the coming of that forgot

SUMMER CLOTHES
REALLY FEMININE

Clothes have become so profound
ly feminine that happily one no long
er feels obliged to babble about their
femininity.
They are obviously created for wom-
en-, not for tomboys, or baby dolls.
This midseason shows the mode as
cending toward perfection of bal
ance that has not been achieved in a
long time. Exaggerated wind-blown eff
fects have been swept away, leaving
pleasant ghosts of their former selves
to lend movement to the silhouette.
The bust is now the most important
point-yes, one can say it, the high
spot-Of the silhouette. Every coutu-
rier emphasizes it in some way, at
least on frOcks and blouses. All the
other moot style boundaries fade into
insignificance beside 1t.

Black Complex Features
Midsummer Collection

Lovely, wearable, feminine clothes
distinguished the Paris midseason col
lections. Freaks and oddities were
conspicuous by their absence; no bus
ties, no panniers, no fish-fins, nothing
geological. They follow, in the main,
the natural lines Of the body, and
their aim is to make women attrac-
tive.
Two leading points stood out First,
the black complex. Secondly, the per-
sistence Of the three-quarter coat.
Many collections are so black, that
you might think a gigantic inkweu
had been spilled over them. Black for
morning, black for afternoon, black
for evening. Sometimes, for evenings,
very exciting fabrics make the black
gowns unusual. Cellophanes and cires,
and curious crinkles and clokies.
With her blacks, whites, and un-
usual grays, and her fabrics suggest
ing widows weeds, Schiaparelli
seemed to be celebrating the funeral
of the depression.

MOST women realize or are coming
4N1 to realize that as far as capt.
talizing personal charm and achieving
a smart and distinctive appearance are
concerned, there is nothing which so
effectively does just that as perfect
grooming. Not even a wardrobe of
beautiful clothes can do for one that
which a becomingly coiffed head,
cunningly arched eyebrow and a youth
giving facial can do.
In lieu of which, small wonder is
it that the matter of placing ones
destiny in the hands of ones favorite
beautician is growing to be a fixed
habit with the fair sex rather than
an occasional luxury.
And so, Madam and Miss Vacation
list, how about it, are you making it
a matter of first Importance to see to

is to do it the machineless Wayne

more of a pastime than a trying, te-
dious ordeal.
By the way. it is well to keep in
mind in regard to the latest hairdress
that the distinguishing feature of the
smartest coiffures is hair that is partly
curly and partly straight Which
means that for the first time in years
the girl with straight hair has a real
advantage, for she can get a perma-
nent wave and have the waves placed
where she wants them instead of hav-
ing them all over her head. The girl
ish hairdress at the top Of the group
illustrates the idea. Here the hair is
brushed back sleek and waveless from
the forehead with curls and waves de-
veloping at the back and each side.
That pretty fashion Of wearing flow
ers in the hair has been revived. In
this instance semi-wreathlet of
posies adds infinite charm.
