Ely Drum e BugIe Corps
Scores Hit at State Fair.

The members of the Ely Drum &
Bugle Corps, under the direction of
Harold Dillon, returned early Tuesday
morning after having spent Saturday,
Sunday and Monday at the Minnesota
State Fair where they appeared before
the grand stand on each of the days
besides playing concert at the horse
show building.
The boys claim that the man in
charge of the music at the Fair kept
them on the move all the time and that
they played well and long during the
days they were at the Fair.
They also bring back glowing reports
of the reception rendered them and
their offerings and that their every APP
pearance was applauded whole-heart-
edly. They enjoyed the trip immensely
The Drum & Bugle Corps had gone to
the fair representing this city and at
| tracing attention to Ely and it's ex-
| hibits at the exposition. The Ely Com
| mercial Club was responsible for their
| appearance in the Twin Cities as an
advertising gesture. That they were
successful was proven by the large num-
Der of favorable comments heard fol
the organization.
! From the Fair also comes news that
the Ely and st. Louis County Club ex-
hibit is being visited by immense
crowds. Ray Hoefler is in charge.

WHAT OTHERS SAY|

For centuries the world has heard of
Prague, the ancient capital of Bohemia,
but now it is expected to learn all over
again that the city called Praha in the
news dispatches, the capital of Czecho-
Slovakia, is the same place. After the
war American school children learned
that Helsingfors was the capital OF the
new republic of Finland and now some
news dispatches are headed HelSlnki,
which is the same town.
1t would be interesting to know where
this is going to end. Are We going to
start calling Austria OeSterreich and
China, Ia Chung-Hua Mino-Kuo and
Egypt, Misr2 Then we must be pre-
pared for Suomi, which is Finland;

France has carried program of school
feeding. Parents who can afford to do
so, pay, but poor children are fed free
of charge. Children are provided with
midday meal of soup, including vege-
tables and meat. Sometimes soup is
served to the children on arrival, and
light meal in the afternoon. Care is
given to teach table manners and clean
habits, and the meals are intended to
have educational value. Also, midday
meals were served up until 1927 when
breakfasts were provided, comprising
fresh whole milk or cocoa, two whole
wheat scenes, creamed peas, vitaminizeC
margarine, half an apple, orange or raw
carrot; meal to be taken slowly, with
due regard to social decorum. At Oslo
about thirty percent of the children at

wants or as government employees and
who take commercial or industrial jobs
for the first time.
If an employee loses his account num-
Der, or if he has been issued two &C
count numbers, or if he wishes to cor
rect information which he put on his
application card and which is in the
permanent confidential possession Of
the Social Security Board, he should
address letter to the nearest Office of
the Board where the matter will be
taken care Of.
1t is very important that every en-
ployee report his number to his en-
ployer Employers must report the
wages earned by each employee along
with the social security number of the
employee to the government so that
these wages can be credited to the
workers account. 1t is from the total
of these wages that the workers bene-
fits will be figured. For this reason,
every employee has a personal stake in
seeing that wages are credited to the
right social security account.

Social Security Account Numbers.

oOCldi Security ACCOult ANuhioCAos
Close to 100000 American working
men and women are now carrying their
social security account numbers around
in their pockets or purses or have them
hidden away for safe keeping. The is
suance of an account number to any
person means that an old-age benefit
account has been set up for that person
by the Social Security Board. 1t is very
much like savings account except that
instead of recording the savings of a
person, the Board will record the
amount of wages that person earns after
January 1, 1887.
Such accounts are set up only for
persons who are not yet IS, for the
reason that Federal old-age benefits
covers only such persons. Account num-
bers are being issued to persons over
IS for the purpose of record keeping in
connection with State unemployment
compensation systems, but the poses
sion of a number by person who is
IS or over does not make him eligible
to an old-age benefit.
A worker should have only one social
security account number during his life
time, and wherever he works, he should
report this to his employer. If man
works for two or more employers, he
should report the same number to each
of them
When young man or woman be-
comes employed for the first time, he
should Immediately fill out an applica-
ton for an account number and for
ward this to the nearest office of the
Social Security Board, after which ar
account number will be mailed to him
This same thing should be done by
workers who formerly have been work
ing as farm laborers or domestic ser.

MAKING CLOTHES
STAY WHITE

Have you ever heard someone say,
THE clothes I wash don't always come
out white. That's the big trouble I
have when do my own laundering"
Many housekeepers have this diff
Guilty. Sometimes towels become dingy
and greyish after laundering, or sheets
have browniSh streaks that show up
when they are ironed, and other white
pieces may have yellowish cast.
The Bureau of Home Economics,
Washington, D. c., has few things to
say about laundering clothes so they
will stay white: First, they recommend
thorough washing; second, thorough
rinSing in soft water, if possible. That
dingy greyish look on sheets and towels
is very often the result of many wash
ings without all the soil having been
taken out. That's why they recon-
mend thorough washing. Soap left in
the fabric may cause the garment to
turn yellow and clothes should be
rinSed until the water is clear. Some
women spend all their energy in wash
Lib clI0 O1lO1I "itSll ~ SoiifSo W iAA3oAAA6
the clothes, they give them a little more
than lick and promise. That's why
they don't look white after laundering
Every now and then the bluing gets
the blame for greyish looking sheets
Bluing can't cover up poor laundering
It's not supposed to, but if used care
fully it will counteract the tendency OF
white clothes to become yellow. The
effect of hard water on clothes is q
problem for many homemakers, as the
mineral salts in the water interfere
with the cleansing action of the soap
On such water it is necessary to USE
more soap than ordinarily and the SOAP
and minerals form a scum which stick!
to the clothes. A water Softener put il
the rinsing water will prevent this. Or.
binary washing soda is one of the mos
effective and commonly used softeners
BoraX is not quite so effective but be-
cause it is milder, it is better fol
delicate fabrics like silks and woolens
Some authorities claim small amour
of boraX improves the whiteneSS ant
freshness of linen.
Here's something else about waite
softeners. Be sure to see that they ar
thoroughly dissolved in the water be
fore the soap or the clothes go in
The amount of softener you use de
ponds upon the water. When you max
a good suds with the usual amount o
soap, the water is soft. Softener chemi
Gals work better in hot water than il
cold water, so at least add the softene
to hot water. Then let the softene,
water cool to the desired temperature
The best whitener for clothes is sun
shine. So whenever possible let thi
fine natural bleach-the sun-have
chance at your laundry.
Every now and then someone ask
how to get badly soiled spots off gar
ments, such as the collars and cuffs Q
mems shirts, laundered in a machine
Before putting these garments in watel
spread soiled places on flat surfac
and rub with bristle brush and con
centrated soap solution, or dampen tn
garment and rub soap directly on thes
spots. Then roll up the garment an
let it stand for several hours.
It's economy to clean all fabrics ofte
and treat them gently. Of course, 20
know that if clothes are washed befor
they become very soiled, less rubin
is needed and they last longer.

Ely Officials in Charge
of Virginia Protest Meet.

A conference of range officials was
held in Virginia, Tuesday afternoon, on
the unemployment situation in the
range towns in response to the curtail-
ment orders of WPA workers and in
regard to raising the quota for this sec
ton of the state instead of further
curtailing work for the winter months.
Arrangements were completed for a
conference with L. P. Zimmerman, state
relief administrator, on Friday morning
at St. Paul and also with Victor Christ
gau, state WPA administrator.
The meeting at Virginia was presided
over by Mayor Jack Peshel and Nick
Popovich, city assessor, and John Mat
tia, alderman, were recorders for the
session. All the range towns and cities
were represented. A strong protest was
voiced on the curtailment of WPA work
in the range communities.

WASH THE WASHABLE

Cleanliness is needed as much for
clothing as for the wearer, for it i'm
proves appearance and is a real econ
omy measure. Well-kept clothes are
ready at a moments notice and also
actually do wear longer.
Any washable clothing, dresses, I'M
derwear, or accessories such as gloves
and scarves should be washed as soon
as needed. Waiting too long means
more rubbing and rubbing helps to wear
out fabrics.
Present day corseletS worn next to the
skin need frequent and careful clean
ing. Washing keeps the garment dainty
and prevents perspiration and body sol
from rotting the fabric. Use lukewarm
water with plenty Of suds, and clear
lukewarm water for rinSing Avoid
rubbing. Use fairly soft brush fol-
badly soiled areas. Dry away from
direct heat of any kind.

SCHOOL FEEDING

The provision of meals to school
children is today recognized public
health activity in many countries, al
though methods vary greatly from place
to place. improvement in health, and
not charity, should be the underlying
motive. Organization of school feeding
is the concern of health and education
authorities and not of private philan-

medical officers to supervise menus
Meals served at school have an educa-
tional value. AS regards the COM

Hibbing Tribune-The Jugo-Slav As
ISOLATION members of Minnesota indi-
Gated most forcibly at their convention
held in Hibbing Sunday that first of all
they are Americans, true to the prin-
ciples of this land, loyal to its tenets
and patriotic in behalf of liberty-loving
ideals
Every speaker urged that the various
organizations within the Jugo-Slav
peoples should forget their differences
to unite into one strong organization
free from all prejudices, having for its
single purpose the betterment of the
Jugo-Slav people in the U. S. and the
encouragement of every worthy project
which will tend to bring more glory
upon the land of their adoption.
In other words, speakers advocated
| that the hyphen be alienated and that
the association make every effort to
instruct its members to be first of all
| loyal to this country.
] Sentiments like these mean much to
this nation in its troubled days when
there are those among us who believe
in the rule of hate, who take more de-
light in condemning this country and
making it appear secondary in COM
parison with other countries of the
world.
There is no room in this country
for any isms. There is room only fol
AmericaniSm," stated one of the speak
ers at the convention banquet and his
sentiment was the opinion of the ma.
jority of those in attendance.

The commissioners have the
highways in good condition

We were always under the
impression that appointments
in Minnesota were made on
merit, judging by the promul-
cations made of the party in
power during the past several
months. The appointment of
a warden for the Saltwater
penitentiary to fill the place
vacated by the death of War
den Sullivan, has somewhat
changed our mind. Three
candidates for the position are
in the front rank. The ap-
pointment is to be made by the
Board of Control.
Leo Utecht, who has been
assistant to Warden Sullivan
for several years is a candidate
for the place and under the
merit system should receive the
appointment without a struggle.

have bobbed up. One of these
