Welfare Body to Urge
D. G. Heads Make New
Plea to Congress

Formal request by the Board Of
Public Welfare that the municipal
ity seek another deficiency ap-
preparation of $3.50, 900 to carry
on the relief program will be
made tomorrow to the District
Commissioners.
Sixteen thousand persons in the
employable class on relief rolls
will be dropped by the board to-
morrow because of inadequate ap-
preparation. The Commissioners
and the board =, requested a de.
ficiency appropriation of $608,000
to carry the program through June
80. Congress approved $350,000.
The city heads tomorrow also
will study a proposal by Commis.
Sioner Melvin c. Hazen that the
gasoline tax be boosted one cent
to provide relief. He estimated
that the raise would bring approx
imately $1,000, 900 a year.
The Commissioner pointed out
that With the additional revenue
persons could be given permanent
highway improvement jobs. The
Hazen plan has the backing Of
Commissioner George E. Allen,
who formerly was relief director
here.
In deciding division of the
$350,000 appropriated, the Wei
fare Board set aside $3.50, 900 to
continue care for the 10000 per-
sons on the unemployable rolls.
With the remaining 100000 it
will care for the most needy
among the employableS, and esti-
mated 1000 families could be
carried. about 1000 persons.

Reduction in WPA Rolls
viii be Made Shortly.

Transfer of approximately $4,000
workers to work projects of other fed
eral agencies beginning operations in
the state this Spring is ordered in a
letter from Harry L. Hopkins to Victor
Christgau, state WPA administrator.
Mr.. Christgau said the reduction in
the WPA rolls will be made gradually
between now and June 80. The WPA
employment figure at present is ap-
proximately $1,000. 1t will be reduced
to 46,6OO under the order from Wash
ington.
In establishing the reduced quota for
Minnesota, which is in line with the
7OO,O 900 nationwide slash in WPA en-
ployment, consideration was given to
such factors as seasonable employment,
the opening of Spring farm work and
jobs available in other phases of the
work program, the letter from Mr..
Hopkins states.
The reduced quotas for each of the
nine WPA districts in Minnesota are
now being prepared, Mr.. Christgau said,
and will be made on basis Of efficiency
and relative need of the individual
workers. Discrimination on any basis
personal, political or otherwiSe-will
not be tolerated, he declared

Bear STORIES
return HOME
CCC Camp I'll Enrollee Found
a Black Bear in the
Ice Box.

A bear story originating at Camp I'll
Portage River CCC camp reached
Regional Forest headquarters at Mil
waukee and from there has been sent
out from information" headquarters.
The Miner is in receipt of the story
from headquarters which says:
THE cook at the Portage River CCC
Camp on the Superior National Forest
opened the ice box door and saw a
not even close the door, and when he
came back with reinforcementS Brllin
was gone. Apparently the bear had en-
tered from the rear and picked out the
ice box as desirable place to hibernate
Contrary to common belief, bears
frequently become very tame, especially
during the fall of the year when they
frequent human habitationS in search
of sufficient food to make them fat for
the winter. A number of these black
animals adopted the Portage River
Camp recently, and became the pets
of the enrollees.
Another of the cooks at this camp

felt slap on the back. Turning around
he looked full in the face of a black
bear, who, besides feeling friendly
wanted something to eat. During the
fall of last year several cubs made the
kitchen their headquarters, scamperine
about whenever any scraps were avail
able.
"One of the older bears became almost
as tame as a dog, and followed the
night Waterman when he made the
rounds of the camp. When the watch
man went into the kitchen, Bruin LAID
down on the door step to wait for his
return, even following him quarter OF
mile through the woods until the
rounds were completed.
Deer at this camp also showed de-
cided preference for human friends, and
were frequently fed by hand by the en-
rollees. Some of these animals made
practice of being present during the
noon lunch in the field, and usually
got more than their share, Of the sand
witches. 1t has been found on the Sup
erior National Forest that many of the
savage and timid wild creatures are not
as savage or as wild as is generally
believed"

Persistent Abdominal
Pain Termed Serious.

The sooner the 'acute appendix" is
out, the better for the patient.
A study of approximately 5000 cases
operated for appendicitis in large
city hospital is reported in the bulletin
issued by the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State Med
ical Association today. This study
shows that the death rate from appen-
dicitiS is not going down as it should.
1t shows, also, that most of the people
waited for from three to four days be-
fore they came to the hospital for OPP
Grafton BE- that time the appendix was
already perforated in a large number OF
cases and chances for quick recovery
wre seriously reduced.
1t shows furthermore, that something
more than third of the patients who
came with perforated or abscessed
appendix had taken purgatives or lax
atives after the pain started and before
they found out that the trouble was not
indigestion but appendicitis.
Death rates from appendicitis will noE
60 down much, according to the bulletin
until people learn that persistent pain
in the stomach or abdomen is likely to
be dangerous and that home dosing
with laxativeS, which produce undeSir-
able movement in the abdomen, may
hasten perforation of the appendix and
lead to a general peritonitiS.
The doctors note, also, that more than
half of the critical cases in this study
followed upon a first attack. They
caution appendicitis patients agains!
any disposition to neglect first attack
on the mistaken notion that first at
tacks always subside without serious
consequences.

Prompt Work Saves
Thousands of Fish

saved in Moose lake, Is miles south Of
Eveleth, when game wardens, the Eve

Sportsmen's club united to clear off the
ice which threatened to exterminate
all living matter in the lake. For three
days employees provided by the council
and club, working under game wardens,
cut the ice away, making channels and
air holes for the fish. The situation &C.

forced to seek air in the springs located
along the shore for about 200 feet, the
ice locking them into this small area.
Thousands died of suffocation and
others were frozen into the ice, but the

in the race for the Senatorial
toga, there will be somewhat of
a mixup before the primaries.
Both are extremely popular in
Minnesota and both are good
men. Either of them would
grace the senate and either
would be mindful of the needs
of this great state in Congress.
Either, also is broad enough to
encompass the United States in
their senatorial vision and we
predict that one of them will
be elected and also that Mime

Are you a safe driver? The driver is
responsible for more than 900 of all
highway accidents
Someone has asked me whether high
way accidents are inevitable. The an
swer of science is mo" Three out of
four drivers have no accidents at all.
Of American drivers 1850 have all of
the accidents This means that one
fourth of the drivers were responsible
for nearly one million persons injured
and about $4,000 deaths in 1884
There are three types of drivers. One
group is the safe group, which comprises
about 1870 of the drivers. About 20
per cent may be called accident liable.
They have accidents due to some psy-
Geological or physical weakness. The
remaining per cent may be called the
accident prone group. They get into
trouble because of some marked de-
ficiency.
It is up to all of us to start working
on the Is per cent that cause the &C.
cidents so that driving conditions will
be safer for the other rs per cent and
also for the IS per cent. You can help.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Austin Daily Herald-JuSt read few
columns of sheet called The Mime
sofa Leader 1t could not be called a
newspaper for it is merely a propa-
ganda sheet to arouse hatredS and
malign anyone who has made any sort
of a success of their business.
Impressions gained from the infor-
nation dispensed leads one to feel that
every boss should be horse whipped,
hanged and shot. A firm that gives
employment to workman is ispo facto
his enemy, the "misleader' would have
one believe. The thing to do is to i'm
mediately start a campaign of attack
and villification if the firm is solvent,
because any company that makes a
profit is greedy, tyrannical and vicious.
How much better the world would be
if sheets like the Leader and all others
would take a sensible view of things
like Henry Ford, who at this time adj
vocates going ahead with production
on a large scale basis, paying high
wages to workmen and making the sale
price of his product even lower than in
the past. There is no argument against
good wages, the best of working con-
ditions and every consideration being
given for the health and comfort CT
workmen. They must be and neces-
sarily are in line also for promotion 70
the greater positions of responsibility
as they occur. The leaders of industry
come from the ranks Or should. The
president of Marshall, Field & Co., re-
Gently said when a department head or
executive dies or retires he hires new
office boy" Someone is moved up. That
is right, fair and just.
Those direct actionists who can
neither restrain their judgment nor
their ability to condemn because they
have never had the responsibilities Of
their own business are like the man who
killed the goose ito get all the golden
eggs at once"

Grand Rapids, Mich, Press-Even
more appalling than the tragic loss Of II
lives in the fatal plunge of an airliner
as it crashed into an Arkansas swamp
was the fact that the swamp jewellers
came out of their inaccessible novels,
stripped the dead bodies of money and
valuables and then disappeared. That
was a ghoulish act, a shocking thing
which Mortified the civilized world. But
Arkansas swamp jewellers are not the
only ghouls who prey on the helpless
and take profit from human misery
Ghouls operate daily and universally,
although not always as openly and afro
ciouSly as in the Arkansas swamp lands.
There are the relief cheaters," for in
stance, of the type discovered recently
here in Michigan and in the largest city
of the state. Ghouls, too, are the poll

a means of petty graft to strengthen
their own position
