With this array of candidates for
Vic lOul OluCcS W Ut llll0Il, mayor ana
three aldermen, the voter will have
no trouble in selecting candidates for
whom to cast his ballot.
Besides the Offices to be filed, the
voter will be called upon to cast his
ballot on the adoption or rejection of
the new city charter submitted to the
council by the charter commission and
by them submitted to the voters.
Many kind remarks are heard for
the new document besides a profusion
Of kicks and knocks. AS we stated last
week, all indications point to probable
defeat of the charter Notwithstanding
the many good points contained in the
new laws for the city which are con-
sidered a necessity in order to allow
the city council to function without
straining the provisions of the 1917
charter now obsolete in the majority
of provisions. Besides, the new charter
could be amended in the future to
cure defects.

Hunting Reversed,
Buck Hunts Man.

Parkers Prairie-With thousands of
hunters securing the north woods in
search of deer, and many returning
empty handed, due partly to the crusted
snow which warned the game of the
hunters approach, Ben Myers had the
experience this week of a big buck hunt
ing him. Returning with his family
from Fergus Falls, he slowed down for
sharp turn only to see big buck deer
come up the side of the grade at a
terrific pace. The buck evidently
headed straight for the machine, COL
liding broadSide with such force that
the car skidded into the ditch. When
they recovered the noted deer was seen
hobbling down the road on three legs.

Again let us admonish as many as
can be present to attend and show by
their presence that the work of the
Scouts and their leaders are appreci-
ated. A Court of Honor is well worth
attending and all are invited.
From the publicity director of the
Area Headquarters at Hibbing we learn
that the annual dog team trip will not
be conducted in the Superior National
Forest this winter but will be shifted to
the Red Lake Game Reserve.
The State of Minnesota maintains its
dogs in the Red Lake reserve now in
stead of at Winton and this is the
cause for the switch. An adventure of
this kind for Scouts is a wonderful
opportunity for a great number of
experiences that are not common to the
usual camping experiences of the aver
age boy scout. Northern Minnesota has
wonderful facilities for such trip as
this.
First, We have very celebrating and
healthy climate suitable for outdoor
activities; wonderful scenery and many
other natural facilities that tend to
make the winter type of camping an ex-
perience long to be remembered Moose
and deer abound in the reserve and
the conservation department has plant
ed considerable herd of elk. The last
stand of caribau also is contained in the
reserve.
This trip will begin on Sunday, De-
cember 9th and will be in charge of
William Carlson of the conservation
department as guide. R. c. Kirkpat-
rick of wilderness canoe trip fame will
be the leader. The reserve is equipped
with overnight cabins in which the
Scouts will stay. The trip will start at
the game and fish cabin at Washkish
and from there will proceed into the
reserve.
The necessary equipment consists of
plenty of warm clothing, a change of
clothing, heavy WOODEN underwear,
heavy socks, good serviceable mach-
nav, cap that will cover the ears or
parka if available, snowshoeS, material
for fishing through the ice, camera if
wanted and equipment for any other
kind of hobby essayed by the scout.

Admission to West Point

1t is not required that an APP
plicant for admission to West Point
be q high school graduate. But the
entrance examination is such that
unless he has had first class high
school education or it's equivalent,
he will not be able to make an en-
tering grade. The course of study
is four years, during which the ca
diets are under strict military disci-
pine. Summers are spent in camp.
Upon graduation cadets are commits
stoned second lieutenants in the
United States Army, and are as
signed wherever they may be need
ed. Upon entrance to the academy

eminent for eight years.

European Cormorants

The European cormorants are like
the birds the Chinese use to catch
fish, rings around their necks pre-
venting them from swallowing the
larger ones they capture. They get
the smaller ones for food. The bird
is extremely rare this side of the
Atlantic.

Rivers Older Than Mountains

Evidently several famous rivers
are older than the mountains
through which they flow. A typical
one, says Golfers Weekly, the Dam
ube, twice cuts through the great
mountain chain of southern Europe,
once at Vienna and again at the
Iron Gates,a geological phenomenon
whose only possible explanation is
that the river existed before the
mountains and kept its course open
as they rose during the ages.

CCC Camps Conquer
TyphOid FeDer Outbreaks.

The experience Of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps with typhoid
fever may well be taken as a measure
of the success of modern methods for
control of this ancient plague.
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical Associations Committee on
Public Health Education cite recently
published figures for the 100000 men
in the CCC camps to show that there
is no longer any need for typhoid out
breaks anywhere and that proper san
itation and hygiene will virtually wipe
out typhoid fever from civilian COM
munities.
In the three years of their existence,
camp records show rate of only 0.32
per thousand men in 1888, OFT in 1894
and 0.26 in 1895.
This record was achieved in spite of
the fact that the camps are located, for
the most part in remote districts where
| typhoid is more prevalent than in the
cities.
The United States Army Medical
Corps has supervised all sanitary ar
arrangements for the camps, examined all
of the men and administered typhoid
vaccine as routine procedure.
| The very small number of scattered
cases reported were, in most cases, in
fected before they went to the camps.
For those who live where there is
adequate protection of milk and water
and food supplies, vaccination against
typhoid is not regarded by the physic-
ianS as routine necessity. People who
are gong into remote districts where
the sources of milk, water and food are
not known to be protected should take
the same precautions that have been
so successful in protecting the CCC
camps.
| Scarlet Fever increases with cold
weather. 1t is especially serious be-
cause of frequent after-effects, damage
to ears, heart or kidney. The onset is
marked by fever, sore throat, general
scarlet rash, and often the typical
strawberry" tongue. Children between
five and ten years are most susceptible.
The disease is highly contagious and
requires the cooperation of the general
public to enforce quarantine regula-
tions and prevent its spread.

 The best way to realize our speed, which was sometimes % miles hourly in the absence of vibration and noise, was to stick your hand out of the open windows and have it jerked backwards by the air rushing past.
 Not for Nervous People
 Another method, which I do not recommend for nervous passengers, was to climb down . foot-wide lad- der to motor gondola, which is sus- pended about i6 feet outside the enc velope of the craft. You cling des- perately with one arm hooked around the ladder and each time you lift Q foot it tried to fly back toward the stern. Several besides myself did the stunt including at- tractive Pauline Charteris, wife of the British author Leslie Charteris, who donned trousers and helmet as protection against wind.
 The food was good with four ex- cellently cooked courses ct lunch and dinner, served on pretty blue and gold specially -designed china. Un- like aboard ship the tables do not have to be provided with "fiddles" to prevent dishware from sliding ofS.
 Tn the cabins, ventilation was fine and the berths were as comfortable as those on any ocean liner. An innovation was radium-c -coated but- tons 50 you could see in the dark where to turn on the electric lights.

 "Hodwyl Howdyl" he shouted at the cheering crowd.
 Send those soldiers on the dou- ble" shouted Lieutenant Comman- der George Mills, in charge of the ground crew, as c belated group of army men ran across the field. Mills called on those civilians near the mast to aid with the grounding lines.
 Eckener tautened As a gust of wind hit the ship. He smiled when the air liner gteadicd.
 Lieutenant Commander Scott Peck, U. s. navy observer, on the ship took Q place beside Eckener and waved and shouted to his wife on the ground.
 Eckener First Out
 Eckener was first out. He was greeted by Commander Charles E Rosendahl, U. S. N., commanding the air station. They got into car for the mile ride to the hangar.
 Passengers remained on the ship while 1t was hauled, attached to It's mobile mast, to tho hangar.
 A score of airplanes flew over- head. They had been warned not to approach closer than one mile from the ship. One did; 8 navy plane chased it of. Some spectators were drenched as the dirigible dropped water ballast.
 Story Dropped Out
 An indication that this was n business flight was seen when Webb Miller, United Press Staff Corrc- spondent on the Hindenburg, drop pod c story of the complete flight, written up to tho moment the ship approached the mast, from q win- dow. A customs man Siczed 1t and would not release 1t until it had been inspected.
 "Marveliousl Gorgeousl" shouted excited women passengers from win- dows of the ship.

 DO you feel oil right2" I asked an elderly gentleman. T feel fine" he answered, "but I do need some sleep and I'm going to get 1t right now" I went from him to Q pretty young girl and asked If there was anything I could do for her. "Go away" she said. "It makes me deathly i'll to fly but when It's over I'm thrilled and glad that did fly" tucked Q blanket around her and went on to the next chair where c middle-aged man asked mo.
 Never Sir, She Replied
 Aren't you ever Afraidp" He didn't know, of course, that l wasn't Q regular hostess and he assumed that l flew daily. "Never, sir" replied, having the interest of IVA at heart. A loud snore from the front of the plane sent me scurry- ing down the aisle to q young fel- low sleeping in his scat. "Okay," he mumblcd when I suggested he turn on his sido and as put another pillow under his head. And that's the life of an airline hostess.
 Does Her Work Daily
 Thousands of feet in the air she docs her work daily, attending to needs of passengers. Day or night she must be pleasant, courteous, smiling and appearing unafraid. We made on emergency landing for gas- ollne an hour west of Wichita. l was bit scared but I had to act as though the affair was scheduled. It was great fun being . hostess for Q short time and I'm converted to fiylng--hook, line and sinker. I'm converted even if parachute, nau- sea cup and aromatic spirits of am- monia must be used on occasions.

 Baldwin street, the northwest cor- ner of River and Baldwin streets and the northeast corner of Bridge and Baldwin streets 10 that 1t can eliminate dangerous trafiic corners and raise the grade of Baldwin street six feet. This will leave two old factory buildings of the Scovill company standing on the southeast corner of Mill and Baldwin streets.
 Referring to these two old build- ings in his communication to the board of aldermen, City Engineer Cairs said: "Therc is reason to an- ticipate that the scovill Manufac- turing company will presently de- cidc to reconstruct them and it will not be unreasonable to expect that such reconstruction would be carried out in manner agreeable to tho improvement which tho city is about to make"
 Mir. 0oss, when interviewed, con- firmed City Engineer Cairns belief. All that remains therefore, IS for the Scovlll company to Do offered rec ommendation by the city engineers office so that they can be studied by the ofiicials of the concern. It is apparent that the city's plans will call for tho slicing off of q corner of tho old factory building at the southeast corner of Mill and Bald. win streets. Mir. 0oss pointed out that the structures are old. They are in use at the present time to . ccr- tain degree, however, he said.
 Tho plans of the city calling for the new approach to Baldwin street from Union Square are meeting with much praise in tho Baldwin street section, one of the oldest districts in Waterbury. The aldermen will meet Q week from Monday night to decide on whether or not to take the Phelan, DiVito and Shannahan properties on which the municipality has already obtained options. Indi- cations are that e majority of the board will approve the purchase.

The injury, which the wo- man says she sustained when Smith struck her several times before she stabbed him with his own penknife yesterday morning, was In the form of e large lump on the left side of her face. She also had Q small lac- eration on the head.
 An ahtopsy performed by Dr. Ed ward Fl. Kirschbaum revealed the cause of death to be the stab wound in Smiths chest. A silver of bone. apparently impelled by the force of the blow, pierced the mans heart.
 Witnesses Questioned
 Several witnesses were questioned last night at police headquarters by Coroner MonZani. among them John Robinson, a IS year old colored boy who had spent the night in Mrs. Crawford's fiat but who did not sec the staying; Elizabeth Fernando, a, of 220 Abbott avenue. also col- ored. and held as material wlt- ness at headquarters: and Fletcher Hargrove. 24. of 44 East Hawkins street, colored. He was released last night after questioning. He told Coroner Monzani he was called to tho apartment after the stabbing and that he had held the injured mans head in his arms before the ambulance came from police head quarters. Smith died on the way to gt. Mary's hospital.

 Not for c minute, not for Q mile, on the trip, was the ship anything but Q giant commercial liner. It's flight was smooth, almost noiseless, without incident except for the beauty which It's passengers and crew saw.
