ALEX SAYS:

ALEX MORRISON SAYS:
Most of you have heard about
hitting the ball on the downswing.
This is but part Of the often re-
peated discussion as to whether
the ball should be hit in this way
or on the upswing. Many players
believe that Il should be struck
as the clubhead begins to swing
upward.
The truth is that the ball must
be struck at the very bottom Of
the arc where the clubhead seems
to be travelling level with the
ground. There is some merit in
trying to swing down on the ball.
Swing your club a few times in a
horizontal plane like a baseball
bat. In this plane you'll find that
the more you swing out the bet
ter will be your results. Your
swing becomes an expanding mo-
ton.

SPORTS
Ely COnQuers TOUer;
BOlUs to EUeLeth EAGLES

On Thursday last a faSt-breaking
North Star team defeated the highly
touted Tower hockey team by score of
to 2
The Ely pucksters broke through the
Tower defense to score three times in
the first ten minutes of play and main
tanned tight defensive throughout
the remainder of the game to hold the
lead. F. Kosir slammed the puck past
the goalie for the first goal and Con-
stantine and Fritz Saari followed, each
making tally on an assist. Hall and
Desanoy scored for the losers.
After winning this hard-fought con-
test with the neat passing Tower sextet,
the Ely boys on Sunday night, went to
defeat before the fast stick work of the
Eveleth Eagles. The Eagles played a
defensive game with the lines falling
back waiting patiently for the breaks.
They were able to score four times
while the locals Tailed only once when
Markovich, in the last two minutes of
play, slashed the puck between Goalie
Novakovich's legs. Suomi of the Eagles
was the high scorer of the game with
two goals, with Usnick second with an
assist and goal. The game was slow
due to snow and was consequently a
rough and tumble game with both sides
checking and charging severely in try
ing to get the puck started down the
ice.

Aduise Care in Making
Purchase of Sun Lam S.

Today's bulletin from the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
advises great care in the purchase of
lamps for the general improvement of
health in the home.
There is no doubt that sunshine is
good for everybody and that it helps
to prevent Illness" says the bulletin.
'But to recommend that the average
householder invest in lamp Is to
place an unwarranted emphasis on one
factor in good health.
I'm winter time in our northern
climate, the sunshine ration is reduced
and there is good sense usually in
Supplementary natural sun with lamps
if you are sure that these lamps pro-
duce approximately the same rays as
those present in natural sunshine"
Many of the lamps on the market for
home use emit short radiations that
are not present In sunshine. however,
and should not be used except under
medical supervision, according to the
bulletin.
"In the case of some Of the carbon
and mercury arc lamps, radiations are
emitted, the effect of which we know
very little. That they may be powerful
and dangerous in the long run goes
without saying.
Safety for amateur use lies in the
purchase only Of real sun lamps, that
is, lamps that emit as nearly as pos
sible the rays of ordinary sunshine.
These can be controlled just as ex-
posure to summer sun is controlled and
the same benefit derived. These bene-
fits are likely, in some quarters, to be
over emphasized"
Neither the proper home sun lamp or
summer sunshine should be utilized
without advice for treatment of dis
ease conditions.

Last Year Much Better
For Mining Than 1888.

An increase of 46 per cent in the
total amount of iron ore mined in the
Lake Superior district last year as COM
pared to 1888, was announced Monday
by the United States bureau of mines.
Ore shipped from the Lake Superior
district in 1884, totaling 22,249, 500 tons,
had valuation of $59,940,O 900.
Approximately IS per cent of all
domestic iron ore shipped last year
came from this region, in which ap-
proximately 21,365, 600 gross tons were
mined. Shipments represented an in
crease of 3 per cent over those OF 1893.
The stocks of iron ore in this district
decreased from 9,955,418 gross tons in
1888 to 9,736,000 tons in 1884. or per
cent. The average value of the ore at
the mines in the Lake Superior district
in 1884 was $2.7l ton as compared to
$2.72 in 1888.
