While termed a Negro Con-
gress the opening session was
attended by a large number Of
whites and many little pale
faced girls mostly of foreign
extraction were much in eyi-
dence vending their way
through the throng selling
pamphlets and what-not while
the membership buttons were
being sold by girls of a darker
hue. This situation made those
who attended the Communist
meeting on the Southside feel
at home.
An unfortunate part of the
staging of the Congress lay in
the selection Of the opening
session being held on Friday
evening the meeting night Of
various Chicago ward political
organizations, thus many Of the
big Shots were not able TO
be present, especially with the
coming primaries in April. They
will be there, however. before
the Congress is brought to n

took the opportunity to express
their profound interest in the
future of the Negro and their
respect for the accomplishments
and contributions Of the race

the opening session. Mayor Ed

to welcome the delegates was

was "called home suddenly be-
fore the meeting was called on

nouncement from the platform.
The announcement brought
forth much laughter as the re-

the judge had withdrawn, along
with Robert S. Abbott for other
reasons. To add further to the
absences was that Of the pres

WATTS CITES
fire DANGER
Precaution with Smoking and
Camp Fires Stressed by
Regional Forester.

Although there has been relief from
excessively hot weather in this section
of the country, dangerous fire con-
ditions still prevail" said Lyle F. Watts,
regional forester of Milwaukee, after
his visit through the Superior national
forest and to the several CCC camps in
this area.
while conditions are serious, it is
not necessary for anyone planning a
vacation in the northern woods area
to change his plans" continued Mr..
Watts. THE fire report for the first
ten days of July show 122 forest fires
in Region 9, of which number 49 were
caused by smokers and campers" he
said.
In regard to the danger of forest
fires by those travelling through, he
stated that tourists and campers are
reminded that smoking is not permitted
on National forests except at places of
habitation and other designated places,
and that campers must secure permits
for camp fires at ranger stations or at
CCC camps"
"Other causes of fires have been
lightning, debris burning, logging oper-
ations, railroads, incendiariSm, and in
some cases the causes have not been
determined, but human carelesSneSS has
caused the greatest number Of fires.
1.-TWO fires on the Upper Michigan
national forest, one on the Huron ma
tional forest in southern Michigan, and
two on the Superior national forest in
Minnesota have burned almost 5000
acres of timber and reproduction, and
have cost several thousands of dollars
to put out. Besides, it has taken the
time of men which could have been
used for constructive jobs.
Fire fighting in 100 degree tempera-
lures is living hell but CCC camps
and local people have aided in very
creditable manner in the suppression
work
Fires not only burn valuable trees
and reproductions, but with the ex-
cessively dry weather the forest litter
or duff has dried out so that it also
burns. This destroys much of the
fertility of the soil. In severe or re-
peated burns it means that inferior
species must first be grown to help
build up the soil to the point where it
will support those more valuable species
which require richer soil.
with the forest litter gone, the water
holding capacity of the soil is reduced
SO that when heavy rains come, soil
erosion and floods result. Then too,
when the woods ashes leach into
streams, injury results to the fish. The
nests of birds are destroyed and even
young birds are killed Many animals
lose their lives Every fire is harmful.
1t destroys hunting, fishing, recreation;
it robS the communities of wealth, rev.
enue and opportunities of employment.
The Forest Service asks everyone to-
consider the serious conditions which
exist, and help suppress the demon of
the forests"

Norwegian Elkhound Is
Handsome, Trustworthy

The Norwegian Elkhound Is fire.
quently referred to as the "unspoiled
dog" meaning that the breed, which
originated in Norway in the Nineteenth
century, is free of the attempting to
develop a show dog. Today the Nor
wegian Elkhound is the same kind of
a dog in appearance, size and disposi-
tion as were the first of its kind when
the Norwegians first used it for big
game hunting, says an authority In the
Detroit News.
Representatives of the breed are
not at all numerous In this country.
Occasionally they are seen In shows
or around some of the larger estates
of the East. They are handsome dogs,
not unlike the Eskimo In form, stand
ing about 20 inches high at the shoul-
der and weighing around 80 pounds.
The coat is heavy and weather-resist-
ing, of various shades Of gray with
black tips to the long outer coat. The
tail is set high and carried curled over
the back.
This elkhound is a trustworthy ami
NAL but very reserved in making new
acquaintances. They are intelligent

Many Lightning
Fires Reported.

The worst series of lightning fires on
record have occurred in st. Louis, Lake,
and Cook counties during the past two
weeks, according to Grover M. Comet,
director of the division of forestry.
Ranger Pat Bayle reported there were
more lightning fires in the last week
and a half than in the last ten years.
Ordinarily electric storms are followed
by rain, but this year, according to re-
ports, there has been no rain following
the lightning.
All except two of the fires were put
out before they reached acre SIZE M.
Comet said this record was due almost
entirely to the valuable assistance given
by CCC camps in the district.
Robert Fechner, who recently in
spected CCC camps in the area, ex-
pressed pleasure at the effectiveness
with which Minnesota CCC enrollees
have aided in suppressing fires.
Mr. Comet said the timber loss was
small in spite of the large number Of
fires. A majority of the fires were in
peat or grass regions.
Dried grass lying along highways
and trails has increased the fire hazard
this year." Mr.. Comet said cigarettes
thrown from moving cars easily ignite
the grass.
Town and county boards can CO.
operate with us if they will remove
dried grass from the highway right-o f.

MARKET Week
PROGRAMS SET
Varied Educational Features
Being Billed for Benefit of
Area Merchants.

Ely merchants have attended the
Twin City Market Week every year for
the past several years and have been
well repaid for their trouble and ex-
penSe incurred in attending these meets
where the latest in fall and winter mer-
chandise is shown and all kinds of
selling instructions and advertising tips
given.
This year will be no exception and
many have Signified their intention of
attending sometime during the period
Of Market Weeks, August to Is. Num-
erous features are scheduled for the two
weeks.
Because numerous merchants in the
territory will be unable to attend the
first weeks program, it is anticipated
that attendance the following week will
equal or exceed the registration of the
previous week.
Opening the second half of Twin City
Double Market week will be the fun fest
at Excelsior amusement park when all
the merchants will be guests. The en-
tire park will be taken over for Monday,
August 10. On Tuesday retail mer-
chants will be the guests during a
special Moonlight excursion on the
Capitol Steamer which will leave st.
Paul on round trip down the Mis-
sissippi river.
All morning Tuesday and Wednesday
during the second week will be devoted
to instructions and demonstrations by
the most prominent display men of both
cities. The educational program is the
most elaborate and interesting ever pre-
sented during Market Week, M. B.
Lathrop Of st. Paul and John A. Dieber
of Minneapolis, co-chairmen, said.
Supplementary demonstrations for the
benefit of merchants who wish advice
on their individual displays will be
arranged at each clinic
New merchandise will be sent to the
Twin Cities for the second week of
buying and manufacturers are prepar-
ing numerous styles which will be COM
pleted in time for showings during the
second week.

Nobody is Really
Immune to Poison IUy.

It's better to avoid poison ivy than to
try to cure the inflammation, once trouble
starts.
This is the opinion of the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical association
which today cautions tourists and va
with the low, three-leaved plant wh.cn
bears on its surface the troublesome,
non-volatile OIL
Poison ivy belongs to an ill-favoced
plant family, the Rhus, of which poison
sumac and poison oak are also notorious
members. All of them bear this irrit-
ating oil. In Minnesota, however, the
ivy is the commoneSt representative
and, of the three, is the easiest recog-
nized and avoided. 1t grows as a low,
erect plant, sometimes giving the ap-
pearance of a vine. The leaves are
always arranged in clusters of three,
two of which are directly opposite each
other with the third at the end of the
main stem. The leaves are shiny, the
berries at first smooth green and later
yellowish white or ivory.
If you find you have brushed against
the ivy or inadvertently picked it, the
doctors advise immediate, thorough
washing with plenty of soap and water
to get the oil off before it does any
damage. Care should be taken, though,
not to irritate the skin or break it.
After thorough washing, an application
of rubbing alcohol is a good additional
preventive. No grease or ointments
should be used either as preventives or
in treatment of the Inflammation if
it should appear, since greases seem to
help it develop and spread. If the in
flammation really develops, it is best
to get expert advice on how to treat it
since ivy poisoning is sometimes serious
and painful.
The people who believe they are i'm
mune to ivy poisoning should be warned,
the doctors say, that laboratory tests
have shown everybody to be liable to it
sooner or later if the dose of oil IS
heavy enough.

PATROL BASE
Hydroplane Air Patrols for the
Forest Being Studied by
Government Officials.

Robert E. Fechner of Washington,
head of the Federal CCC program,
stated in talk in Duluth that in all
probability hydroplane air patrol base
would be established in this vicinity to
aid in the fire fighting program.
At present hydroplane is being
utilized out of Ely to patrol the Forest
and has done valuable work during the
recent dry spell. BY means of the
plane, fires were spotted in connection
with the lookout towers at their in
ception and the plane transported
fighters, food and pumps to the scene.
Places where it would require days
to get into by canoe and pack methods
were reached il few minutes and fires
were stopped before they could secure
much hallway.
Should it be decided to put in the
plane service, Ely would be the place
for it as the larger part of the forest
is accessible from this city in a few
moments notice.

Let's say something again about BIZ
cycles, roller skates and coasters.
People riding bicycles in the street
are a part of the regular traffic and
should observe traffic rules. When a
child rushes out of a driveway on a
bicycle, or weaves from one side of the
street to the other, he is not fair to
automobile drivers.
Most automobile drivers watch out for
children riding bicycles, and bicycle
rides should form the habit of looking
out for automobiles. To ride safely at
night, place light on the front of the
bicycle and tail light or reflector at
the rear. 1t is not safe for two people
to ride on one bicycle. 1t is difficult to
control the vehicle that way.
Roller skaters should obey the same
rules as people on foot.
Observe these safety rules, and you

Chicago, owner of the club, who plans
several trips in this area with Chicago

series of exhibition games with other
teams in this area will be arranged
early in the fall, Mr.. Tobin announced.
"The visit of the Blackhawk team will

ELECT BIERMAN
TO COACH TEAM
College All-Star Team Chosen
Now Need Bierman
as Coach.

Minnesota's football fans in cooper
alton with the Minneapolis Journal
have succeeded in electing seven men,
bers of the 1885 Minnesota team to
the college all-Star team which will
oppose professional outfits in charity
games in Chicago and New York in
September.
The next task confronting fans of
Minnesota and the Northwest is to
elect Bennie Bierman to coach the
boys.
The national open for the election
of head coach and two assistants for
the college all-stars is now in full
swing. Intensive campaigning in be-
half of one coach or another is going
on in all sections of the country. Be-
cause of his record and his popularity,
because his teams have held national
championships in 1884 and 1885, Bernie
Bierman will receive strong national
general support everywhere but that
will not be enough. In order to combat
the well organized campaigns in be-
half of other coaches there must be an
organized campaign in behalf of Bier
man.
1t is estimated that nearly 1000 900
votes will be needed to elect the head
coach. In view of the many candidates
for the position, it will behoove all the
Minnesota and northwest fans to solidly
support Bierman.
In another place in this paper will
be found a ballot to assist you in the
voting. Sign the ballot and hand to
Ray Hoefler at the Community Center
or send to the Journal
The campaign which is now under
way will close August 10, by which time,
ballots and petitions must be delivered
at headquarters.
AS result of the campaign which re-
Gently closed in behalf of the players
all seven eligible Minnesota players
were elected to the all-star squad.
They are: Dick Smith, tackle; Vernon
Oech, guard; Dale Rennebohm, center;
Glenn Seidel, quarterback; Babe Le-
voir and George Roscoe, halfbacks;
Sheldon Beise, fullback.
