Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

A former Canadian Mountie,
speaking before the Hibbing
Junior College last week. made
the statement that the mounted
police of Canada was "world
famous for their work because
there are no politics in their
organization" He stated that
a politician who approaches a
mountie in Canada with the re-
quest not to arrest a certain
lawbreaker, is promptly put in
jail himself for aiding the Grim
inal concerned.

Local PWA Projects
for Street Improvement
Are Launched Monday
Fifty-four Men Employed
on New PWA Work
Started This Week.
APPROPRIATION $17,61O
Additional Work Scheduled
on Whiteside Park and
Tourist Camp.

A crew of 81 men certified by the
MRS from the relief rolls on file with
the office, began work Monday on the
WPA project under Waino Somero, city
engineer.
The appropriation for this work
amounts to $3.50 federal funds with
$500 to be supplied by the sponsor, or
the City of Ely.
The work will consist of street i'm
proVement, grading, removal of haz-
yards, such as ledge, etc. Work will be
done ON West Chapman Street, on Sec
ond Avenue and Third Avenue West
and on 18th, 18th and 18th Avenues
East.
An allotment has also been made of
$50, 160 for Improvements to WhiteSide
Park in the East end of the city and
the Tourist Park at the light and water
plant grounds. The Whiteside Park will
probably be extended from it's present
southern limits to embrace the skating
rink and hockey rink on lands already
owned by the city.
This will require considerable work in
filling the low spots, planting of trees,
building paths and otherwise making
the grounds preSentable.
The tourist park at the water and
light plant will be graded, enlarged and
otherwise improved.
All labor for these projects is to be
taken from relief rolls on file with the
MRS office in the Veranth building.
Engineer Somero anticipates shortage
Of available labor as registrations are
not being kept up according to the rules
laid down by the MRS.
The park projects will be begun as
soon as the allotted funds become avail
able

BY 8. p. 8.

A group OF friends were guests Of
Joseph Stoll at his hunting lodge on
the Stoney River over a weekend and
the recreation consisted chiefly of pre-
pairing meals and disposing of the same.
Each member Of the party prepared
some favorite dish and between the
attacks at the table the group was en-
gagged in replenishing the winters wood
supply. On this certain day one Of
the party was delegated to prepare some
real Italian macaroni while the others
braced their appetites with little wood
cutting a short distance from the lodge.
The cook was making good progress
with the meal until he came to the door
and yelled:
Hello Joe! You got that kind thing
where water go ahead and macaroni
stay behind?"
Joe thought for a moment and then
replied:
"Yes, You'll find it in the cupboard.
That's called a strainer."
Stranger" returned the cook.
That's right. I always forget to call
that thing stranger"
Ex-Congressman Francis A. Shoe

his talk in hurting humorous jibes at

ton.
Among his remarks he said he deemed
1t fortunate that "the Dionne quintup-
lets were born in Canada, for had they
been born here, Secretary of Agriculture

Now comes DR.. Ralph v.
Ellis of the Minnesota Univer-
sity hospital staff and states
that ragweed is not the only
hayfever offender in all cases.
He stated that out of 80 cases
he has studied, less than 5 per
cent were due to ragweed
alone. Other cases were COM
plicated by pollen from other
sources and some patients were
sensitive to almost all pollens.
He classed NORWOOD, pig
weed, sage and the Russian
thistle family in the hayfever
category.

Seconds Gain Ground
A team of secondhand third
stringers took the field against a
constantly shifting eleven that
included most, though not all, of
the regulars.
The Stanford" team had little
difficulty in gaining against their
supposed Superiors.
Blocking both in line and back
field was far below par. The
firSt-StringerS failed to click on the
attack and their defense left much
to be desired.
However, Bill Upton and Maco
Stewart. ends, and Harry Shuford
Bobby Wilson and Howard
Sprague, backs, were kept out
Of the contact work. Bell has
always excused Wilson from
such practice, fearing some injury
to the Mighty Mite" while Shu-
ford's damaged knee, though i'm
proving, still makes it inadviSable
for him to take chances.
Gore Looks Good
Observers took some cheer from
the fact there was nothing re-
motely approaching an injury
during the session. 1t was pointed
out that jake Gore, sub back who
doubled for the Cardinals Bobby
GraySon, turned in a creditable
performance in the role, while
several others in the "enemy's"
lineup showed to advantage.

No matter how good a bowler
may be, not one has ever won a
sweepstakes or special event by
just rolling his average. Bowlers
must get "hot hands; that is,
turn in scores far superior to their
usual pace, to triumph.
That the star bowler has a bet
ter chance than the second rater
to get "hot" can not be denied,
but plenty of "dubS" have made
the brightest stars look dim for an
evening.
Every season some obscure
bowlerS flash into prominence
with scores that many a long
established top-notcher has never
approached.
Del VecchiO Rolls 24O
Perhaps the most startling case
Of hotchandedness by an individual
bowler is that of Sam Del Vecchio,
one Of the prospective entrants
tonight. Sam, only a 16-year-old
boy, popped out q 240 game six
years ago that spread his name
throughout the country.
And though today Sans aver
age is only LOT, he can still whip
in some remarkable scores. Two
years ago, the youngster estab-
lished a Temple Alley League
mark Of 1876 and that was
equalled by another third-rater,
Cliff Hollis, last year, but never
approached in regulation compe-
tition by any Of the ranking stars
which claim Temple as their
home.
Two other potential winners Of
tonight'S Italian Sweepstakes can
look back on short performances
which are unique in annals Of
duckpins.
Pricci Always Good
Joe Pricci (never a star of
first water but always good sew
eral years ago created a nation
wide sensation by rolling a 497
set, which is still the highest
three-game total under regula-
tionS in the South. Joe had pre-
viously attracted attention with
a 1873 game in the District League.

Amherst To Test
6. W. Swimmers

A wholesale assault on Shore
ham Hotel pool records will be
made tonight when Amherst Col
lege'S powerful swimmers meet the
ColonialS of George Washington
in the opening collegiate ''tank"
competition Of the season. The
SplaShing begins at 8 o'clock.
Capt. Matt Kelly of Amherst is
expected to threaten at least the
Shoreham 100-yard record. The
Lord jeff sprint star, former ma
tional interscholaStic 50-yard cham
pion, recently dashed the century,
in 55.5 seconds-good time in any
company. Kelly will be opposed
by Karl Schmitt and Bill Reynolds
for George Washington, but neither
of the Colonial sprinters is con-
ceded a chance of beating him.
In the thrilling 440-yard swim
the JeffS will be represented by
Bill Beuchner, who, with Kelly,
has piled up many points for Am
herSt during the past two seasons.
Beuchner holds the Amherst 40
yard, free-Style record, which
means considerable in light of the
fact that the Jeffs have been turn
ing out fast teams for several
years under Coach Tug Kennedy.
The breaststroke and backStroke
events, in which G. W. was strong
last year before Captain Dyer
Ghormley and John Hahn gradu-
ated, will find the ColonialS again
overmatched. Such stars as Ed
Kothe and Pat Greene, both Am.
herst record holders, will compete
for the visitors, while the locals
must depend on Ben Catchings. a
comparative novice.

flanked it with enough to give
him 426.
Averages Mean Nothing
Last year Sweepstakes proved
that averages mean nothing, as
it was won by Tony Maley, whose
average was Ill, and Henry Cor
velli and Otto Santini were among
the first five, and neither one has
burned up any league for aver
ages.
The year before, Ollie Pacini
won the championship medal, but
had to be content with second
money though he had developed
a "hothand."
Young Nick Rinaldi, a dub who
got q hot-hand and also had a
big handicap, pocketed first coin.
Mike Vitale won the first Italian
Sweepstakes title, though not
even considered among the IA
voriteS.
Can Do No Wrong
And so tonight some italian
bowler who likes to bowl and is
shooting just to be among those
present, will suddenly discover
that nothing he does Is wrong,
that strikes and spares are easy
as pie and he will be the seventh
man to wear the city'S Italian
Sweepstakes crown.
To give the lesser lights real
chance to cop dough, if not the
crown, the Sweepstakes purse will
be distributed on a handicap
basis, each bowler to receive two
third pins of the difference be-
tween his highest average in the
city and scratch man, who will
be Joe Freschi, with 125 in the
Southern 1ntercity League.
The event consists Of seven
games and the entry fee is S.
