ing go degrees during the day, the cele-
bration of the Nations Birthday on
July 4th was a success from every
angle.

augmented by hundreds of summer
visitors from nearby resorts, lined the
streets as early as 8 o'clock awaiting
the parade at $50 o'clock.
Notwithstanding the crowded streets
and the hundreds of cars going and

ALLOt OUer Fire Million
For Grade Separations

Since 1900, $500 persons have been
killed and 144.l76 injured at railway
grade crossings in the United States.
The annual rate Of fatal accidents de-
creased from 1929 to 1892, but has again
started upward. High speed trains.
faster automobiles, and increased travel
on both highways and railroads, are
contributing factors.
Minnesota has been allotted IS ,395, Al
from the federal work relief fund for
grade crossing elimination Here is q
real humanitarian effort, and it is to
be hoped that the regulations VIII not
prevent building the greatest possible
number of permanent grade separations
at hazardous crossings. If 100 Of the
most dangerous rail-highway crossings
are removed, many lives VIII be saved
every year.

dramatization of story as it was being
told by a grandfather to his son, the

portrayed by the cast.

Jacob. with the exception Of Reuben,
are shown in their hatred for their
fathers favorite son, Joseph Over the
protests Of Reuben they sell their

Rigid Sanitation
Rules For Beach
Ely Health Department Given
Control; To Cooperate
With Police.

Determined to improve sanitary con-
ditions at the Municipal bathing beach
the Police and Sanitation committee of
the city council has placed the beach
under the direct supervision of the City
Health Department.
With the cooperation of the police
department a new set of rules will be
strictly enforced, officials declared.
Typewriter copies of the new rules
have been issued to life guards and
police who will make regular visits to
the beach each day to see that the rules
are enforced.
The councils order instructed life
guards in charge of the beach to give
locker rooms a thorough cleaning with
strong diSinfectants at least once each
day.
A strict ban on dogs in the vicinity
of the beach was ordered by the council
and police have been instructed to en-
force the rule
No one but the official life guards
will be allowed to use the life boats
and they must remain in the immediate
vicinity of the beach at all times, the
order said.
Health department officials expressed
the opinion that the enforcement of
the councils orders would result in
greatly improved sanitary conditions
and that the beach would be consider
ably safer for the hundreds of children
attracted there on warm days.

It is the first time the three
have been together in almost five
years. Their first appearance was
in THE Secret Six" when Gable
and Miss Harlow were very new
to the films and almost un-
known.
Since then both Berry and
Gable have been winners of the
most coveted prize of FINLAND,
the annual award of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences, and Miss Harlow has
become one of the box-office SEN

intrigueS with a background new
to the screen, the wild southeast
