John Thomas Auld, Washing
ton shoe salesman, was not per-
turbed today when notified that
there were two more claimants
for the great Scottish estate
estimated at between $40, 900, 900
and $4,000, ,00O-to which he
claims to be the heir.
The latest claimants for a
share, according to dispatches
from Boston, are Mrs. Mary Nc
Tgue, of West Roxbury, Mass,
and Andrew Auld, of East Wey-
mouth, Mass.
John Auld said:
Mrs. McTigue is a sister Of

IS, 900, Quota Limit for
W. p. A. NOID Filled,

WPA employment in Minnesota has
reached $4,000, the quota limit for Dec
ember, and no new assignments can
be made until after January /, said a
statement issued this week by Victor
Christgau, state administrator, after his
return from a regional conference in
Chicago.
IF more persons are to be employed
as result of the current business re-
cession," he said, 'it will depend on
legislation affecting funds available for
WPA. We are now operating under the
1887 Emergency Relief Act, passed last
June. This contemplated an employ
ment load smaller than had been car
ried in 1896, and appropriated funds
sufficient to carry such a program to
July l, 1888. Now We are being asked
to provide employment for a materi-
ally larger number of persons. OBJ
viouSly, we do not have the funds with
which to meet these new demands"
The legislation passed six months ago
and before the current increase in un-
employment, prescribed that there
should be no deficiency appropriation;
that no more than the money allocated
should be spent. If additional funds
become available, WPA will be able to
quickly expand its employment. as the
Minnesota administration has a reserve
of projects that can rbe put into i'm
mediate operation.

The entertainment closed with the
showing of the motion pictures of the
Yugo-Slav Commemoration Days held

ment when prominent people of the
city and members in attendance at the
picnics were shown in various poses and
as a surprise to many who did not know
they were being photographed.

the men on the ice foes were too weak
to attempt rescue.
The narrowing thoughts of perishing
from exposure on the ice floes passed
through the mind of Johnson and in
telling of the experience to reporter
he said he shouted to Cook that things
looked pretty bad and received an
answer confirming the outlook.
Johnson decided not to give up with
out an effort and noticing strip of
ice which was seemingly intact and
partner that he was going to make a
try for it and for the partner to ''hang
onto his floe. johnson rolled off his
floe and started swimming for the solid
ice some 80 feet away.
In his swim to the main ice he was
forced to push smaller pieces out of the
way and to crawl over larger foes but
finally gained the solid ice where he
lay exhausted and without rising tried
to diveSt himself of some of his water
soaked clothes. The younger Cook,
seeing the success of his partner and
realizing that the latter was exhausted
with the strenuous battle, also took
a chance" he said, and swan to the

Cook. The graphing apparatus of the
Ely police force was loaded and on the

Pressure Cooker Aids
In Making Fruit Cake

The problem of making the holiday
fruit cake the kind the homemaker likes
to set on her Christmas dinner table,
just properly moist and dense, may be
solved by using the steam pressure
cooker, points out Inez M. Hobart, ex-
tension nutritionist, University Farm,
st. Paul.
Particularly useful will be the cooker
if the oven does not bake slowly and
evenly. Pans that can be covered will
be needed-coffee or tea tins with lids
will admirably serve this purpose.
Following are directions given by Miss
Hobart for baking the fruit cake by
this method: Grease the tins, and
cut paper to fit over the bottoms. Fill
them three fourths full of the cake
mixture and cover Then place them
on rack in the pressure cooker and
add enough water to allow for evapor-
alton which will take place during the
first half hour Steam the mixture for
80 minutes before clamping on the cover
of the cooker; after that, fasten the
cover, exhaust air from the cooker fol-
z minutes, close the petcock and cook
for 1 hour at 10 pounds pressure. Be
fore opening the cooker, reduce the
pressure; then remove the lids from the
containers and bake the cakes in the
oven for 80 minutes at temperature
from 300 to 325 degrees F."

P.0. ENDS MAIL
ATTRACTIONS
Unintentional Violators Urged
to Conform to private
Express" Statutes.

The post office department has sent
out notices that violations of the postal
laws must be ended. The law most
often broken is the Private Express
statutes which affects motor car dealers
insurance agents, notarieS, banks
county officers, creameries, truckers, ex-
press companies, live stock exchanges
motion picture theatres, etc., who many
times are guilty of violations of the
postal laws, unknowingly.
The Private Express statutes give the
post office department a monopoly on
letter mail and in many instances vio-
lators are not familiar with what con-
stitutes letter.
A simple definition of a letter is a
message, notice, or other expression
sent by one person to another and is
just the same if sent sealed or un-
sealed. All must have stamps affixed
Many persons violate the law when they
have a trucker or bus company or a
private carrier of some nature pick up
material for delivery to avoid payment
of regular postage fees.
1t is these violators that the in
spectors are tracking down. In letter
received by Bryd Brownell, deputy regis
trar of motor vehicles for this city, he
has been informed that instead OF
sending in a number of license applica-
lions in one envelope, he will neceS.
sarily pay postage for each of these
applications unless two or more are fol
the same party.
The registrars of motor vehicles
working on commission through the
secretary of state are hard hit by the
ruling. Heretofore they have punched
the applications under one head. II
will now be necessary to pay postage or
each individual application

opes. After the report is sealed, adj
dressed and dated, the government
stamped envelopes may then be en-
closed in the regular shipping tag en-
velope in use by the creameries.
Creameries are singled out as al
example. Other reports for banks ant
institutions having many letters Il
forward are similarly affected.

This year $7O,OOO,OOO was spent by
vacationists who came to Minnesota"
said Mr.. Wenzel. "The Arrowhead
Country benefited to the extent of
about 20 per cent of the states total.
But if we can build up this industry,
with our natural facilities waiting to
be developed, it will mean an annual
business of from $100,O00,OO0 to $780,
900, 000," he said.
He also stated that a technfcian, an
expert in his own field, has been named
to head each of the six divisions of
the conservation department and the
work will be conducted on a strict
scientific basis" the commissioner said.
when We know We are right we will
go ahead despite the pressure from
various groups. If we are wrong, we
will learn our mistakes and not re-
peat them" said Commissioner Wenzel
In one of two addresses delivered
during the day, the commissioner pre-
dicted that the forestry industry will
some day be the states mainstay and
he called upon st. Louis county to
take the initiative in promoting a
county and community forestry de-
velopment program.
He said that this county is re-
latively well off because of it's large tax
collections and income from the mining
industry and has "the best opportunity
of any county to go ahead with such a
program which would benefit, not only
the farmers, but the entire population
of the county"
''The chief forestry job in Mime
sofa today is restoring forests on those
acres which are better suited for forests
than for farming he said. "a long
time comprehensive program should in
clude the planting of woodlots and
shelterbelts in other parts of the state
also.
"The success of such a program de-
ponds entirely upon how far the next
session of the legislature is willing to
go in passing the necessary legislation
which will make it possible" he said.

WHAT SHALL I GIVE
JENNY AND JOHNNY?

That hardy old perennial is blooming
again-the question, what to give the
children for Christmas! It's not hard
to solve for ones nearest and dearest,
for their special wants have been made
known for months back-an that re-
mains is to find the wherewithal. But
for those children whose likes and
tastes We don't know so well, whom we
don't see often enough to keep track
of just how they've grown, they're the
ones who provide us with a problem
that's likely to knit our brows.
No matter what the ages or sexes OF
these children, there are few pointers
that we would do well to keep in mind.
They should be never failing help in
time of trouble, and should prevent
hasty, confused, last-minute buying.
First of all, always keep in mind the
question, Can the child use this for a
considerable time? Many grownups, in
buying gifts for children, think only in
terms of the immediate appeal of what
they see. But unless the toy or ma
terial is of more than passing interest,
is IS probably not worth the money you
are about to spend on it. Play is not
just way of passing the time. It IS a
very important constructive part of a
youngsters life, and the things he plays
with can be constructive or the OPP
posite Though a rattle is construc-
tive toy for baby, because waving 1t
and making a noise is real achieve
ment for him, We wouldn't think of
giving him such a thing after his first
year. Giving wind-up, mechanical
toy to three or four year-old is about
as unconstructive as giving him a
rattle would be. 1t offers him no
challenge, nothing to put his mind to
work on.
Some of the best play materials are
those that can be used in a number of
different ways. The child who possesses
a wagon may put it to imaginative use
as boat, and also play at being the
milk man or coal man. Blocks are
wonderfully adaptable material and
children love to play with them from
babyhood on well up into the school
years. Even after boy has lost in
terest in building with blocks, he is
often perfectly delighted to get load
Of mill ends, to use in various con-
struction projects. Animals, of either
farm or circus variety, make fine
nucleus around which any number OF
interesting ideas may develop. The
girl who loves dolls will cherish things
that make her dolls lives more real
housekeeping equipment, suit-cases fol
the dolls clothes, dishes for them to
eat out Of.
Variety of play equipment is i'm
portant. If the child you're buying
for is one that loves outdoor sports, be
sure that other people win provide
things along that line. Maybe the
fascinating new table game you de-
eide on will be the entering wedge to
interests that will prevent the weary
complaint, when he or she must remain
inside, What shall do now?"

In MILK TESTS
November Tests Show Marked
Improvement Over Those
of Last Month.

DR.. j. E. Thompson, in submitting
results of November milk tests, states
that marked improvement is shown
over last months figures.
The city ordinance calls for min
imum of 3.5 in butter fat and a bac-
terra count of under $4,000.
BY looking at the attached report for
November it can be seen that all the
dairymen listed are within the require
ments, notable improvement as the
previous report showed several in the
six-figure class in the bacterial count.
The high bacterial count Is not nee
cessarily dangerous. 1t means that the
milk sours quickly and that over the
$4,000 limit tendency to aggrevate
certain diseases is present.

The Name "Scioto"

Like the Cuyahoga, there are three
explanations for the origin of the
name "Scioto," applied first to the
river and then to the county, in Ohio,
says writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Henry Howe, early Ohio
historian, believes the name was
first used by the Wyandot Indians
who called it Sci-on-to, the meaning
OF which is unknown. The geog-
rapher, Gannett, however, believes
the name was derived from the
word "Seeyotah," meaning "Great
Legs" anG that it was applied to
the river because of its long tributa-
ries. Other authorities insist Scioto
is the Wyandot for deer.

this fit into the changing interests of
the child? A pegboard is fine at three,
but a child will not have nearly SO much
time to enjoy it at four, because his
interests are spreading out. The four
year-old will want crayons and colored
paper, clay and scissors and other
things that will allow him to create.
Paper dolls will be lost on the six-year-
old girls, but delight to the ten-year-
old. Little trucks, any kind of trans
portation toy, will enrapture the small
boy, while his older brother will thrill
over a catcher's mitt, or good flash
light, or a gadget for his bicycle.
Lots of fun, really, to fit the toy to
the child.
