CIVIC BUILDING
PLANS AWAITING
FEDERAL ACTION
Plans Indefinite Until u. S.
Relief Setup is Arranged
About July 1.

Plans for Ely's proposed new Com
munity building were being pushed to-
ward completion this week for presen-
tation to officials in st. Paul as the city
seeks to secure federal aid on the pro-
ject.
William NJ. Ingemann, st. Paul archi-
tect, has been retained by the city to
complete plans and specifications. Pre-
liminary plans drawn by Mr.. Ingemann
were approved as whole recently by q
general committee of delegates from
various organizations.
City officials explained that the entire
project is indefinite until after July
when the federal governments new re-
lief program viii go into effect. They
said that whatever administrative setur
is established then will govern action on
the building. If this project does not
conform to beSt, advantage with the new
program it is possible that it may be
submitted to PWA for consideration.
The new PwA plan allows for an out
right grant of As per cent, an increase
of Is per cent over the former setup.
Material used in the building also
plays an important part in the amount
of federal aid to be secured. IF native
stone is used the greater part OF the
cost would go direct to labor and would
be borne by the government. Use of a
manufactured brick or stone material
would reduce the labor cost and the
amount of federal aid

city and Mr.. Ingemann, the architect

QueSting the improvement.

the efforts of c. E Carlson, president of
the D. NJ. & N, who expressed the
opinion that Ely deserved the modern

tween Tower and Virginia and No.
between Ely and Tower was again
brought UP in answer to a letter from

CURGICAIs shock a serious and often fatal cond-

causes which may be grouped under three general

sudden acute failure in the circulation of the
blood. 1t is accompanied by feeling of general
weakness and dizziness. frequently by collapse and
Inconsistencies and If not successfully combatted
proves fatal
DR.. Phemister lists the three general causes as:
l. Disturbances in vascular tone that is. in the
muscular tone or tension of the blood vessels.
2 Disturbance in blood volume; for example,
severe bleeding.
g. Disturbance of tissues and tissue fluids.
The Importance of the first two causes has long
been known he says. but it is only as result Of
recent researches that tie Importance Of the third
cause has been realized.
ISTURBANCES in vascular tone are brought
II about mainly through the nervous system. he
saws These disturbances may be purely psychology
cal the result Of fright reaction to the sight Of
blood Such a reaction, however, is usually of short
duration. he says.
The opinion is also generally held he says, that
impulses arising stimula ton in the wound
field Of operation can precpitate shock independ-
of the psychic mental reaction through direct
influence upon the nerve centers which control the
muscular tone of the blood vessels.
This type of shock is seen most frequently in con-
nection with operations on the abdomen. especially
on the stomach and gail bladder Dr. Phemister says
that ordinarily does damage TO the patient and
can be made to disappear promptly by the use of
ephedrne.
The third type. resulting from damage to tissues,
first thought to be due the formation of toxic
substances in the wound. DR.. Phemister says.
Recent studies point TO the view that this type of
shock is due to the escape of blood pasma; that is
the fluid portion Of the blood, into the damaged It's
sues from the minute blood vessels or capilaries in
the damaged area. For example the fluid producing
the swelling in injured limbs has been found TO
contain rs much as per cent of plasma proteins.
This dlslocation OF plasma protein may result in
impairment of circulation and shock that proves
fatal before signs of gangrene had had time TO
develop he says

to 1928. In 1929 Mussolini per-
sonally took part. On Feb. 7,

secretary of state, announced that
an accord had been reached.
On Feb. II Mussolini and the
cardinal formally signed the

There was a political treaty,
which recognized the absolute
temporal sovereignty of The pope
over what is now known as the
State of the Vatican City Extra
territoriality was guaranteed tc

The Catholic religion was for

its turn, recognized the kingdom
of Italy and the royal House of
Savoy and Rome as it's capital.
Inside Italy it is an old story
that MusSolini cleaned the gov

with Greece and one with Tur-
key and largely helped bring
about a similar one between the
ancient foes-Greece and Tur-

In 1881 MuSsolini agreed to adj
here to the London naval pact
signed by the United States, ia
pan and England. France also
then adhered to it.
To a world alarmed by some of
his speeches, MuSSolini gave as
Surance in 1880 in his message to
his party:
Fascist Italy arms because
everybody arms. 1t will disarm if
everybody disarms. We arm for
defense and not for attack. FaS-
cist Italy will never take the ini-
tiative in war"
In March, 1894, he engineered a
pact among Italy, Austria and
Hungary. On the political side it
took the form of a consultative
pact for preservation of peace. 1t
furthermore had sections designed
to improve economic relations
among the three states.

IF all these things were straight
l. forward and statesmanlike, the
same was not true of Mussolini's
attitude with regard to Germany
and France.
He consistently played one
against the other, especially after
Adolf Hitler and his Nazis came
to power in Germany. If, at first,
he seemed to favor Germany in
its claim for revision of treaties
and for rearmament, it was be-
cause Hitler had largely initiated
Fascism and seemed about to
create a state kindred to Italy.
But Hitler, in his religious per-
secutions, in his mixing in the
affairs of Austria, soon alienated
the Duce. Basically, MuSsolini
never loved the Teutons.
In the matter of German re-
armament, he seemed to assent,
because he saw no way short of
war to prevent it.
