KENNEDY PLANS.
TO QUIT MARINE.
JOB ON DEC. z.
Official Is Seen as Feel
ing He Merits Big Place
BY EARL GOODWIN

Joseph Kennedy, chairman of
the Maritime Commission, intends
to resign. He will leave Washing
ton for Florida on December IL.
according to present plans, and
will not return to his desk.
His position as chairman prob
ably will be assumed by Admiral
Emory S. Land, U. s. NJ, retired,
now a member Of the Commission.
WANTS BIGGER JOB
The President does not want
Ne Kennedy to resign. But Mr..
Kennedy's position is that the
President will have to offer him
much more of job.
Mr.. Kennedy, wealthy and
head of a firm of engineers in
New York city, feels he has car
ried two heavy jobs and would
like to have big job, like cab
met post, if he is to put in IL
hours a day any more for the
Government.
The only Cabinet vacancy
likely to be open in the near fu-
ture is as attorney general. If
Homer Cummings resigns, grape
vine has it that Robert Jackson
Is likely to succeed him.
HELPED IN 1882
In the circle which talks
around the White House, Mr..
Kennedy is "Joe" Kennedy and
came into prominence with a
bang when the first Roosevelt
campaign needed some cash
quickly. Mr.. Kennedy is reputed
to have produced a quarter Of a
million dollars with as much non-
chalance as if it were taxi fare.
When the New Deal finally got
the Securities Exchange Commits
sion started controlling Wall
Street, the President appointed
Kennedy chairman. The miracle
was that, although Wall Street
hated the New Deal, it played ball
with Joe Kennedy and the New
Deal by laying down and rolling
over like any well-trained lap dog.
COMMISSION SET UP
Then came the Presidents de-
termination to subsidize American
ships. The Maritime Commission
was created. Congress made a
special exception in order that the
President might appoint Joseph
Kennedy to be chairman. He did
not want the job.
However, at the request Of the
President, he took office again.
He started the commission going,
has outlined its policies, and has
won standup fight with the
maritime union. He is now ready
to go back to his own business
unless he gets Cabinet job.

then back across the Rockies and the
northern plains states to Minneapolis
and st. Paul again.
But the real surprise came when they
found that, after building super high
way completely around the United
States, they still had enough Minnesota
trunk highway mileage left over to
build another super-road from the Gulf
of Mexico north across the nation to
the Twin Cities, on to Winnipeg, and
then across the vast Canadian north
west, through Ska, Alaska, almost to
that far-flung outpost Of Minnesota
pioneers in the Matanuska Valley.
In other words Minnesota's trunk
highway system is nearly four times
bigger than the proposed super-highway
from coast to coast across the United
States-and that proposed project is SO
gigantic that most persons have con-
sidered it only dream.
It is also so much bigger than the
proposed international road through the
South American and Pan-American Re-
publics, from Cape Horn to Canada,
that there would be left over enough
mileage to build that road on through
Duluth and Port Arthur, Ontario, to the
wilderness beyond Hudson's Bay.
This state highway system is being
maintained at cost of 100000 a
year, not only for the benefit of Min
neSota motorists, business and industry,
but for the use and enjoyment of the
tourists who spend nearly $4,000 900

Boys is and II, Rescue
Pair From DrOUnin0.

Wlnona-Two boys were saved from
drowning in the Mississippi river re-
Gently by rescue efforts of Donald and
Harrison Tietz, Is and 14-year-eld sons
OF MIR. and Mrs. Harry Tietz who live
mere IN houseboat. Until they could
get ahold of them, the drowning bows
chung to grapevine and stick which
the rescuerS threw out. Wandering
along the side of the river to watch the
spring breakup of ice two seven and
eight-year-old boys went after wooden
box, which they saw at the edge of
the ice about ten feet from shore. The
ice broke under their weight and kept
crumbling as they chung to the side of
it to keep from going under. Their
cries for help attracted Donald's and
Harrison's attention and both ran to
the river, where they saw the little fell
lows trying to get up on the ice. It
broke through every time they got a
foot on it and then they fell back in
the water. Harry grabbed a grapevine
in some weeds along the shore and
tossed it cut to them, and first one
and then the other got hold of It.
While they held the vine, I ran and
got a stout stick and showed it out to
them," Donald explained. They kept
climbing along the stick and vine until
we got hold of them"

"MysteriOus PrOULer"
Has Citizens DOdging.

Hastings-It's getting so you can't say
boo to your best friend in this neck
OF the woods and get away with 1t.
An assortment of wild rumors have
been floating around concerning a sup
posedly dangerous character who is
menacing citizens on the streets at
night, but no one seems to be able to
give description of the fellow. In one
instance he's an escaped lunatic from
the st. Peter asylum, and when he pops
up, repeatedly, in another neighbor-
hood, he's six-foot bandit with bushy
eyebrows and mean look in his eve.
Although he hasn't done ANYTHING
more alarming than to brighten a. few
citizens, he is certainly making the back
streets rather unpopular with night
pedestrians. One local citizen, CARRYING
a pistol for self defense, no doubt, is
reported to hove shot up a neighboring
night club on the possibility that the
mysterious prowler might be lurking
there. Another near-victim of the cpl
demic Of 'jitterS"-so the story goes
was woman who was seized on her
way home at night. Thus far none of
these incidents have furnished any de-
finite clues to the identity of the sup
posed marauder.

HERO MEDALS
FOR Fifteen
Minnesota Miner Receives Gold
Medal for Heroic Rescue
of Cooley Man.

Among the awards made by the
Joseph A. Holmes Safety association
at its annual meeting at Washington,
D. c., was a gold medal for Steve
Romito of Cooley, who lost his life on
August 9, 1885, while saving the life of
a co-worker overcome by gas in a
shallow pit.
The award to Domito was the only
award made in the state of Minnesota
at the meeting. Fifteen others, en-
ployes of the mineral and allied in
dustrieS in the United States were
awarded medals for outstanding res
cues or attempted rescueS Of fellow
workers in times Of stress and peril.
Notable records made by 60 mining
companies or other organizations in
extraordinary safety achievements were
recognized by the award Of certificates
of honor. Ten certificates of honor
were given to individuals for noteworthy
safety records by the Holmes Safety
association. The association was named
in honor of the first director of the
United States Bureau of Mines of the
Department of the Interior.

Gently bound for MuScatine, Iowa,
where they will fulfill their allotted
destiny in the button-making factories
of that city. The twenty tons which
left were half of the forty tons gathered
by the shippers in the st. Croix last
year. The live clans were gathered
last summer, either by hand or with the
aid Of a drag and stored in Saltwater
The by-productS of the operation are
the little rough pearl like secretions
made by the CLAIMS, finding a ready
market by the ounce. The shells, after
they are cleaned, are separated into
two grades. They sell at $55 a ton, a
rise of ten dollars from the prices of
last fall. The shipment from Bayport
was made by man and his two sons
from Cannon Falls. In the winter they
spend a great deal of their time
trapping.

Prehistoric Skeletons
URe0rthed Near ChGska

Discriminating of human bones
on the Carl Hedtke farm along the
Grow river has started widespread dis
cusSion and expression of much varied
opinions in this community Men, who
were stripping off soil for gravel pit,
discovered the skeletons after they had
gone down about three feet. The fact
that the skeletons We're in sitting
position has led to the belief that they
are the remains of Indians buried ac-
cording to tribal custom. The peculiar
skull shapes seem to indicate that the
dead men were other than the In
dams known today. The hair line
comes down to the eyes. The eye Soc
kets protrude quite sharply, and the
scalp slopes back Immediately from this
point with but little trace of a fore
head. Ideas expressed on the pres
ence of the bones are that they may
possibly be those of the Mound Build
ers, for burial of their dead. If they
are those of the Mound Builders, eros
ion must have worn down the mounds,
for the spot where the find was made
is fairly level

Forest Notes

The most important use for wood
next to building construction, is prob
ably its service to the intellectual life
of the nation in the form of the cheap
and abundant paper on which We print
our books, magazines, and newspapers
according to the U. S. Forest Products
Laboratory, Madison, Wis. Two hun
bred pounds annually is every mans
share of paper goods af all kinds at
present, as contraSted with the less than
10 pounds per year per person in the
old days when the rag man was the
chief gatherer of papermaking material
About one-third of the paper used car
ries reading matter. The other two
thirds of the paper pulp makes life
easier for us in many ways. 1t gives
us strong shipping containers for all
kinds of merchandise, sanitary packages
for our pru1eS, breakfast food, butter,
ice cream, and edibles of all kinds; it
saves labor in the kitchen by giving
our wives paper plates and cups, and
even paper knives, forks and spoons;
it aids public health by furnishing dis
possible napkins, towels, and handker-
chiefs; it wraps or bags all our hard
ware, groceries, meats and dry goods
sold over the counter.
A number of wood uses rank close to
paper. To run our trains, wood is as
necessary as steel; no suitable substitute
has ever been found for the hundreds
of millions of wooden cross ties. Wood
en- poles carry our telephone, telegraph,
and power lines. To come back home,
life is much more livable because we
have wooden furniture, with its light
ness, strength, fine appearance, and
warmth under the hand. Many real
ize wood is still the old reliable fuel for
both heating and cooking; this is really
the first use of wood in point of volume
And nobody can predict what the future
may bring in the matter Of wood fuel;
both gas and alcohol are being made
from wood that promise a great deal
in the way of automobile fuel in times
not far distant. Within the year a
German scientist drove his car from
Berlin to England on the gas from wood
that cost him only 81. Improvements
in Europe have increased the efficiency
Of wood stoves about so per cent.
Recently an entirely new use for wood
has been discovered at the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory. 1t is a new plastic
made from wood sawdust that can be
nodded or sawed into dishes, counter
tops, tiles, and many other useful ar
ticles.
So wood and wood products march
on; from fuel to keep us warm within
our homes to insulation to keep the heat
IN and the cold out; from paper bags
in which we bring our food home to
the paper plates from which we eat;
from the beds in which we sleep to the
floors we walk upon; from the clothes
we wear to paper fiber rugs; from
monograph records to lineoleum; from
buttons to gunstocks; from the cradle
70 the coffin; supplying conveniences
and necessities unnumbered.

Laying Minnesota's Highway system,
end to end, has been the popular indoor
sport of the mapmakers recently and
the result is the road pictured above, if
built according to the figures made.
The read would stretch completely
around the United States and enough
mileage would be left to build another
road (shown in the broken line) from
the Gulf of Mexico to Winnipeg and
on up to Sitka Alaska. If you started
out to drive over the whole state trunk
highway system and drove the equiva-
lent of the distance from the Twin
Cities to Chicago every day, it would
take you one month to cover the system
the state has to snow-plow all winter
and maintain all summer
More startling even to Minnesotans
themselves than to their 1852 900 an
nual tourist guests, is true realization
of the immense size of the state trunk
highway system that this state puts at
her visitors disposal.

highway system too big to be pictured
without drawing a comparison with
some vast stretch of distance more
readily visualized
Experts of the Minnesota Tourist
Bureau and the State Highway de-
partment have been measuring mileages
and drawing black lines on maps of the
world, to try to devolve a true picture
of the system.
They started out to find whether the
Minnesota trunk routes would stretch
twice across the United States But
when they had them all stretched out,
end to end, they found these state high
ways, maintained and improved solely
by the one state, would make up one
super highway stretching from the
Twin Cities clear across the United
States to New York City, then down
the Atlantic coast to Atlanta, Georgia,
then down to New Orleans on the Gulf
of Mexico, and then westward across
the Texas plains and Rocky Mountains
to Los Angeles.
And at this point the map-makers
would have used up only that mileage
that was added to the Minnesota trunk
highways system by Legislative action
in 1884. The complete system would
still build this super highway on north
along the Pacific coast to San Fran
cisco, then on to Seattle, Washington,
