First Road Work
From NelU Funds.

Highway construction projects to cost
more than one million dollars will be
advertised by the State Highway de-
partment next week if an authorization
expected from the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads is received in time, ac-
cording to department announcement
Plans for the work are complete, and
the highway department is ready to
call for bids on the projects i'm
mediately on receipt of the necessary
federal approval. The projects will
probably include bituminous surfacing,
concrete paving, grading and other
types of construction. 1t is hoped that
contracts can be let by the end of
August.
This million dollar letting will be the
first from the $5,4OO,OO0 road appropri-
alton granted Minnesota by the last
congress. Work financed by the ap-
propriaton will begin about the time
that most of the construction under last
years $1O6OO,OOO grant is completed.

DID YOU EVER STOP
To THINK?
Edison r. Waite. Shawnee. Okla.)

In every city you will find number
of city builders who are not appreci-
ated as they should be.
Few people seem to realize the diff
culties surmounted, the hardships en-
countered and discouragementS over
come and mastered by these city build
ers in making the home city a better
place in which to live and prosper.
The aim of these men has been to
make the home city the utmost OBJ
tainable in beauty, durability, economy
sanitation, efficiency and satisfaction as
a modern, progressive city.
They have realized that it was up to
them to get the most important things
done, or they would not be done.
They are working now as they have
in the past for the things that are SC
essential for the betterment of the
home city.
Real city builders realize that money
and the things that money can buy dc
not always bring prosperity. Real pro-
gress can be found only in cities that
are not only made into good cities in
which to live, but good cities in which
to make living.
Cities are built-they do not grow
unaided.

Honor Tokens Are
Highway Safety Badge.

A plan to put drivers of motor
vehicles on their honor to drive safely
and to display a windshield sticker
prominently on their cars, in evidence
of their pledge of safe driving, has been
brought out by the Safety Division OF
the State Emergency Relief Admins
tration, with the cooperation and ap-
provalS of the State Highway Depart
ment.
City and County public safety COM
mittees and State Highway Patrolmen
are inviting drivers to sign safety
pledge cards in the interests of safety
ON the streets and highways of Mime
sofa. Each driver receives the first
portion OF a three-part Honor Token
as soon as he signs safety pledge card
Two chevrons complete the Honor
Token" Drivers will obtain them from
garages or service stations, Highway
patrolmen or local police officers
Chevrons are obtainable following
brake and light tests if brakes and
lights are correct, or if necessary ad-
justmentS or corrections in defective
brakes or lights receive attention.
The pledge part of the Honor
Token" is shaped in replica of an out
line map of the state, and bears on its
face the safety slogan, Help Make
Minnesota the Safest State"

Tots to Enter School
Need Health Check-up.

The A-B-C'S of Health call for a
medical examination for five and six
year olds who will enter school this
fall. This is emphasized in bulletin
issued by the Minnesota Public Health
Association.
Boys and girls with physical defects
are not in a position to take full ad-
vantage of the educational opportuni-
ties the school offers them," says the
bulletin. "The child who cannot see
properly, hear well, who must breathe
through obstructed noStrils or has other
defects is unfairly handicapped in
school room competition with his
healthy classmates. The majority of
children who have to repeat grades
are retarded because of physical de-
fects or illness. This is expensive for
the taxpayer and discouraging to the
pupil.
Protection against smallpox and
diphtheria should be given every child
who is to enter school, if he has not
already been vaccinated or immunized.
The tuberculin test, which tells whether
or not child has been exposed to
tuberculosis, is also a valuable ad-
dition to the medical examination.
Health examination of the pre-
school child is also of great educational
value in starting the all-important life
long habit of periodic medical exam
nation"
Promotion of regular medical ex-
aminations for children and adults is
a phase of the general health educa-
tional campaign carried on in Mime
sofa through Christmas Seal funds.

Harry George Drowned.

The body of Harry j. George, aged

and well known in this city where he
spent several summers at the home of
his sister, Mrs Clarence Mosher, before
her death two years ago, was found
floating in Silver Lake at Virginia on

to drowning although many are of the
opinion that Mr. George, who was not
in the best of health, while walking on

with heart attack and was dead be-

was found in his lungs. He was born

TAPS FOR HERO.

Capt. George H. Mallon, 81 years of
age, one of Gen. Pershing's 100 heroes
of the World War" died at the st.
Cloud veterans hospital after long
illness. The death of Capt. Mallon
ends one of the most colorful outstand-
ing careers of the late war.
Born in ogden, Kan, Capt. Mallon
was a former Hennepin county COM
missioner. He won the congressional
medal of honor and the 100 heroes"
classification by his conduct at Bois de
ForgeS, France, in 1918.
Capt. Mallon's company became di-
Vided dsying an engagement after it
had gons over the top in a dense fog.
Nine men who remained with Capt.
Mallon were unable to rejoin the COM
pany and plunged ahead alone toward
the sound of machine g,ln fire.
Cropping through the mist, the daunt-
less ten came five minutes later upon
a German machine gun battery of nine
pieces, which they captured together
with about 100 prisoners. The prisoners
were sent to the rear and Capt. Mallon
then divided his band into three
groups-two flanks of four men each,
with himself and another man at the
center.
In this formation, the ten men ad-
vanced upon and captured four German
l55-MM. howitzers and took score Of
additional prisoners. Both feats were
accomplished without the loss of a
single man.

Opposed "PauI Bunyan
State Forest" Land Deal.

Richard r. Bailey, member OF the
state conservation commission, TO-DAY
explained his reason for voting against
the creation of a new forest to be
called the paul Bunyan state forest"
st can find no precedent for giving
sae large interests any privilege which
the small home owner or farmer did
not get when they lost their property
by virtue of the operation of the tax
delinquency laws" Commissioner Bailey
said.
At a meeting of the Minnesota con-
seryation commission in st. Paul, the
Red River Lumber company, controlled
by the Walker family, and representa-
tives of the RuggleS estate presented a
proposition to set up a new forest "in
imitation Of the trade mark used for
years by the Walker lumber concern"
according to Mr.. Bailey. The proposal
involved 10000 acres of Walker and
Ruggles lands in Hubbard county, all
of which is tax delinquent and has been
for the last six years and which would
all revert to the state with clear title
in the next six months, Mr.. Bailey said.
Representative of the firms in
question" he explained, agreed to deed
two thirds of the land to the state of
Minnesota proIded the state would
abate all taxes on the other one-third
or some 10000 acres. These companies
also offered to sell for $4,000 additional
more desirable lands in the same area"
Upon the whole proposition the COM
mission voted to l to conSummate the
deal, with Commissioner Bailey dis
Senting.

Relief Projects
Cost $I3,432,OOO.

MinneSota'S $13,432, 900 approved State
Emergency Relief Administration pro-
gram is providing relief to more than
half million residents it was revealed
here in the monthly report of Cover
nor Floyd B. Olson, state relief ad-
ministrator.
With work under way on more than
70 per cent of the zoos projects Gov.
Olson said that the SERA weekly pay
roll amounts to more than $260,00O
throughout the state and that more
than 20 per cent of the 1855, ,931 in
habitantS are on the relief rolls. OF
these $4,000 families are getting drouth
relief, he added.
Carrying out this program has es-
tablished one of the most active
business enterprises in Minnesota
amounting to a monthly turnover of
about $4,OOO,0OO it was pointed out.
With such business complicated as it
is by federal, state and local, regula-
tionS it presents task which would
give even the mythical Paul Bunyan
the jitterS. To direct this diversified
business Gov. Olson has divided the
SERA into five main divisions, with
a director for each and with deputy
administrator in charge. These are:
L. p. Zimmerman, deputy administra-
tor; Nathan Harris, director of the
works division and state engineer;
Benjamin E. Youngdahl, director of the
social service division; r. A. Murchie,
professor of sociology, University of
Minnesota, director of rural rehabilita-
ton; Casper T. Frederickson, director
of finance, and Oscar Behrens. direc-

The most abominable thing that is
known among jokers is the smart
alec" joker.
How often have you seen people
who are about to sit down have the
chair pulled out from under them?
This and many other so-called prac-
tical jokes have often ended tragically
There is absolutely no excuse for this
kind of joking and people should not
tolerate it. Some very serious acci-
dents have resulted because of this.
They can be avoided.

So Herr Hitler is taking no chances
on beinG bombed out at, headquarters,
presumably by foreign foes. But such
defenses have their domestic signifi-
canoe as we'll. The possibility Of revolt
against the dictatorship is not to be
ignored. Probably If all were known
and 1t may be assumed that all is
not known relating to affairs in Ger
many under the new regime, for the
censorship is strict and alert-it would
be found that the Fuehrer has made
arrangements for a swift transfer of
the seat of government from Berlin
to Munich, the scene of his first
"putsch" and now the established
headquarters Of his personal army.
The fantastic course Of Hitler
heretofore suggests such a possibility
for the future. He is addicted to the
airplane for swift transport of his own
person. His mobility on the occasion
of the recent blood purge" is to be
borne in mind. 1t would not be sup
prising If it were found that the thick
concrete roofs of the two NaI build
ings In Munich were planned to serve
as emergency landing fields in the
event of occasion for shift from
Berlin. The spectacle of Hitler dig
ging in against possible assault from
without and from within is not in the
least incredible, in view of the charac-
ter and variety Of enmities he has
aroused in the course of his doings
during the past few years.

to have been seized disclosing that

Police Not to Blame for

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial I'm All Fairness" Of
Sunday, october %. is timely, sensible
and in the best interests of law en-
forcement and of the people of Wash
ington.
1t is not only easy but temptation
to stir up unthinking popular clamor,
but it takes real seh-sacrifice and
devotion to the public welfare to en-
courage fairness and sound, as well as
constructive, thinking. You deserve
the thanks Of all Washington.
Doubtless there is room for improve
ment in law enforcement, as few hu-
man institutions are perfect, but sense
less, emotional. hysterical, publicity
seeking yapping merely warns the law
less foxes, without really helping the
hunters The police Of the District Of
Columbia have a record of high ef-
ficiency and real service, and cannot
be expected to patrol our sister States
of Virginia and Maryland as well.
Past hySterical denunciation of the
police has merely undermined their
morale and encouraged the lawless,
without producing anything construc-
tive. Furthermore, the gambling In
Stinct and those who cater to it, as
well as criminal tendencies, exist not
only in the underworld but in the up
per world In which most Of us live,
and the police are in no sense re-
sponsible for this instinct or condition
or its encouragement. The home, the
church and the school are much more
responsible and more blameworthy.

Eull Salary Restoration.

The only fly in the otherwise pleas
ant ointment which flows from the
White House in the form of the Presi-
dents announcement concerning pay
restoration is the fact that the Pres
ident still connects restoration OF pay
with the probable rise of the cost
Of living index. 1t is true that under
existing law full restoration of pay
is directly bound up with the cost
of living index. Provided the index
rises to a certain level. restoration of
pay is automatic. Contrariwise, If
the index does not rise, restoration
of pay is as automatically prohibited.
But this law expires next June, unless
1t is extended by act OF Congress, and
the Presidents statement diminishes
the likelihood of its extension.
The original and subsequent pay
cuts were part Of a policy in defiation,
or retrenchment, that was not fol-
lowed. Had it been fully carried out,
the pay cut would have been more
justified. But while adopting the pay
cut as part of a defiationary policy,
the Governments efforts toward re-
covery have not been based on any
such policy, and the pay cut has not
been consistent with other recovery
policies
1t would be far more welcome news
to know that the Administrations
determination to restore Government
salaries was based on purely equitable
grounds, rather than on some arbi-
trary relationship with the cost Of
living index The cost of living index
was not made the actual basis for
Government salaries in times of pros
perity, and should not consistently
have been made the basis for Govern
ment salaries in times of depression.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will
anticipate the Presidents intentions
full salary restoration, and,
in keeping with the policy of building
up purchasing power, restore the
salaries before the end of the fiscal
year, cutting loose from the question:
able cost of living index as the meas
ure of an employees value.

1t has remained for a New York
judge to work out a truly graphic
m 'thod of driving home to traffic
offenders what potentially CHASTITY
business they are engaged in. The
other day when some 200 violators
filed into this court room they
found a screen hanging where the
judge usually sits, and then the
lights were turned off for a movie
show which included the following:
First, q sedan driven at reckless
speed across a blind corner and
there crashing with a truck coming
down the crossroad. Next roadster
took turn too fast, shot off the road
through a fence and hurtled over a
cliff"
And a solemn voice intoned: Death
has come to that man and that
woman in the car as it will come to
you if you drive like a fool. They
are where time matters no more, and
you will be, too, unless you take care"
1t is not surprising to hear that
experts consider this "the most effec-
tive safety campaign stuff yet" The
mere dishing out of summonses and
the mere routine handling of traffic
cases do not seem to have brought
any material improvement in the
situation. Truth to tell, there is rea-
son 10 suspect that some traffic courts
are intent upon revenue rather than
reform.
