CREATES A FLUTTER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - The post election announcement of a marriage which will unite the Roosevelt and du Pont families cre- ated furry of excitement in social Washington although it could not be said the announcement was any surprise.
 Last Saturday night there was no comment expressed from the White House.
 The Roosevelt-up Pont political feud, growing with the development of the New Deal program, reached a bitter climax during the recent Presidential campaign. The du Fonts were heavy contributors to the Republican campaign fund.

WPA to Offer Sewing
Services to Women.

An impending shortage of material
upon which employable women in DIS
trict No. /, heretofore on the relief rolls,
may work, yesterday caused Miss Izetta
Winter Robb, supervisor of Wonen's
and Professional Workers projects, to
issue statement in which she said that
she would be glad to consider proposals
from persons in charge of public insti-
tutions and charity organizations, such
as the Red Cross, that available relief
labor be used in the manufacture, Cor
such institution, of sheets, pillow cases,
bedding, ETC., and the repair of such
articles.
I'VE are in position to do such work,
said Miss Robb, providing that IN SO
doing, We do not replace persons that
are regularly employed at such tasks
For this reason, it will be necessary that
each such possibility be carefully sur
veyed before active steps are taken
Therefore, any public or charitable IL
stitution interested in the proposal is
requested to get in touch with me, at
the Commercial Building, in Duluth
The effect of Miss Robbs proposal will
be to enable institutions to do more
sewing and to keep their linen and bed
ding in better repair, where budgets for
this work are limited.

Deaths From Home
Accidents Are Too High

Death stalking the war front and the
highways is more dramatic than deaths
from accidents in the home.
The Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Minnesota State Medical
association calls attention to the terrific
toll of deaths from home accidents this
week because recent figures show that
there were twice as many of them in
the last Is years than there were from
automobile accidents.
The figure for home accidents that
resulted in death from 1920 to 1884 was
655 ,O00 Automobile deaths for the
same period amounted to 1886 and
both figures appear appalling beside the
figure for deaths in battle which was
244,357 for Americans killed in all the
wars of history.
Better traffic regulations, better law
enforcement, improved safety devices
as we'll as individual caution play parts
in the current nation wide campaign to
reduce accident deaths on the highways
To reduce accident deaths at home
common sense and ordinary individual
carefulness are the chief requisites, &C
cording to the physicians.
Good housekeeping and good know
ledge of first aid, both, are urged as
prime safety measures in the physicians
bulletin.
Slippery floors; curled-up rugs or rugs
with holes to trip the unwary; toys OF
books or other objects left carelessly or
the stairs; climbing on rocking chairs;
poisons left carelessly where small
children can get them; hot water left
heedlessly in the way of children; i'm
properly watching fires; piles of refuse
all these caused fatal home accidents
last year and all could have beer
avoided easily by care and common
sense.
knowledge of first aid to treat burns
cuts, sprains, broken bones and &C.
cidental poisoning pending the arriva
of help would save many lives, also, II
the opinion of the physicians. A goot
manual of first aid and actual practices
under instruction in bandaging ant
splinting and in artificial respiration
should be part of the training ant
equipment of the houSekeeper.

Following the election of the
new officers at Virginia came
the announcement of the re-
opening of the Missabe Noun
tain mine in that city after an
idleness of almost one and one
half years. Whether the cleo
ton had anything to do with
the opening of the mine is hard
to say from this distance. The
majority of Virginia people are
pleased with the results of the
election and elated over the
mine opening news.

Prevailing Wage Jobs
Available This Month

Prevailing wage jobs on Public Works
Administration and other federal
agency projects will be available this
month for approximately 5000 Works
Progress administration workers, Victor
Christgau, state WPA administrator,
announced early in the week.
Mr. Christgau said the 5000 prevail
ing wage jobs include some available at
once while others have been definitely
scheduled for February. The schedule,
he added, will be changed only if in
clement weather makes it impossible to
start work on some of the projects as
planned
Before May l, more than 10000 pre-
vailing wage jobs will be available 20
WPA workers through other federal
agencies launching projects in the state,
the administrator said.
Preference will be given to those
WPA workers who specifically request
the prevailing wage" Mr. Christgau ex-
planned "A number of organizations
have approached us on this subject re-
Gently We have more acquisitions for
other federal agency projects than we
have been able to fill and we there
fore, are planning to issue transfers i'm
mediately upon receipt of requests from
any WPA workers"
Questioned in regard to the state
wide WPA workers conference, Mr.
Christgau pointed out that acquisitions
of other federal agencies for men to be
employed at the prevailing wage rate
considerably outnumber the current re-
quests for these jobs. We shall be glao
{, to take care of all petitioners who desire
transfers"

The flesh of the muskrat for human
food is variously esteemed, with diver
sity of opinion as to its palatabilIty.
Muskrats are sold in some parts of the
East and Middle West. In the retail
markets of Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Wilmington, and other cities they are
sold from about the middle of December
to the middle of March as marsh rab-
bits but no attempt is made to con-
ceal the fact that they are mu5k-ats.
They are bought and eaten both by the
well-to-do citizens and by people who
seldom indulge in high-priced game.
The animals are trapped primarily for
their peltS, but after they are skinned,
the additional labor of preparing the
meat for market is SO slight that it can
be sold very cheaply.

WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Mora Times: 1t is time that we quit
coddling the agitators in the industrial
centers Of the country. They foment
unjustified strikes which result in losses
to both laborers and employers. Natur-
ally these industrial disturbances retard
recovery as well. But most of these
disturbers care little about these things.
They are of the communistic type whose
purpose is to raise as much disturbance
as possible regardless of the damaging
effect.

John d. Lamont, who has
most successfully been the
guiding force in the public
utilities system of Virginia, was
named the first member of the
Hall of Fame at a banquet in
that city under the auspices of
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. Lamont owns the
distinction of having done more
for Virginia than any man in it
for civic betterment. Many in
this city, acquainted with the
gentleman, add their congratu-
lationS to John Lamont for hav-
ing been recognized and to the
City of Virginia for having
chosen him as the first Hall of
Fame member.
The Virginia Water and
Light commission was named in
1913 by Mayor M. A. Murphy
with John Lamont as chairman.
During the % years since, he
has served in this capacity
without a break. The system
represented an original cash in
vestment of $4,000 plus the
proceeds of a bond issue of
S450,000. Today the system
represents a physical value of
approximately $1,500,000 with
no Indebtedness and substan-
tial cash reserve. With the ex-
ception of the $4,000 original
investment, not one cent has
been levied to meet the pur-
chase or operating cost, all ad-
ditionS and expansions, in adj
dition to the original purchase
price and the bond issue, hav-
ing been paid out of operating
profits.

When to print a disagreeable story
is one of the most troublesome problems
for the small town editor. Here's what
P. V. Ryan, publisher of the Caledonia
Argus, has to say about it: In the
case of a person who is unfaithful to
a public trust, or one who is guilty of
a serious crime, it is not difficult to de-
eide, because the public's interest, as
we'll as the public's right to have the
news, demands that it be printed. There
are some cases, however, in which the
offenSe is entirely of a personal nature,
and in which publishing the story would
bring sorrow and embarrassment to in
nocent persons without serving any
beneficial purpose. In these, the making
of proper decision is not often easy.
if the story is printed, relatives and
friends of the person will feel that it
is unnecessary; if it is suppressed, the
scandal mongerS will be disappointed,
and many will inSinuate that the editor
was bought off" These same scandal
mongers would howl the loudest, how
ever, if their own shady actions were
held up to public gaze. So it's hard to
please everybody, and no editor of sense
tries to please everybody. He must let
his own judgment and conscience be his
ness and sympathy for the unfortunate,
his error will be forgiven and forgotten
by the more enlightened of his readers
