Hartford, Conn.,, April 29-(UP) Robert A. Hurley, Bridgeport, WPA director, appeared the probable choice of Governor Cross today as head of the newly-cEeated state public works departmept, at 5000 a year. s "
 The public works biil, one of the recommendations of the state re- organizat ton commission, was passed by the senate late yesterday as the democratic majority overrode an attempt of republicans to delay ac- ton. The measure recently was Rp- proved by the house without dis sent.
 Creation of the department, ac- cording to the governor, will make the state immediately eligible for $500, 900 federal funds. The director will have charge of all new con- struction and of the maintenance and care of present state institu- tions, relieving the comptroller of some of his responsibilities.
 The bill immediately was sent to the expressing clerk and signed by the governor. Only senate confirma- ton of his appointment Is neces- sary.
 Previous to passage g critical split occurred in the democratic ranks over suspension of the rules to act on the bill without further delay. Six democrats voted with republi- cans to defeat the suspension and it was only after 8 long democratic caucus that the lines were re- formed and promises made the pres- ent job-holders in the conptroller's offlce would not be disturbed.
 Meanwhile the merit system bill. passed by the senate in amended form so as to eliminate the com

is out of date and should be re-

new equipment are not made in the
near future, insurance rates in the

for the convention, he stated that
the department now had about
$1,000, but that $1,000 was needed,
and he urged the club to take steps
to raise the money. The club voted
to recommend to the City Council

to do.

Several readjustments and a Wis
it from the State Supervisor of In
stitutional Libraries paved the way
for the Book Fair observance of
National Book Week to be held at
the local library during the week
of November 18th to Goth.
Tuesday Miss Mildred Mathven
was in the city, made calls at the
Bryant Library and at the Library
department of the State Home
School for Girls. Her visit here was
in an official capacity.
Following board meeting last
Thursday more adequate lighting
conditions have been provided. Miss
Bernice Finnegan, librarian, point
ed out that the cords have been
dropped so that light is closer to
the tables in the reading rooms.
Larger bulbs requiring more watts
have replaced lesser Elimination.
Preparations for the Book Fair

Week will near completion this
week. Various grade rooms in the
school have been at work on Dootns
for the fair, and these exhibits will
portray stories found in well known
books.
Behind the Book Week national
observance, of which this Is the
10th annual, is a creative attempt
to more and more bring reading to
a greater number of people. During
Book Week a large scale sampling

The homemaker needs to know
the weave and the construction Of
terry cloth in order to get her mon.
ey's worth. Loosely woven yarns be.
long on the surface of a terry cloth
bath towel but the warp weave
which is the foundation for the
pile should be firmly woven. A
ply" yarn, made Of two or more
single yarns twisted together, max.
es a stronger warp than single
thread. The difference can be dis
covered by untwisting loose end
of the yarn. Yarns made from long
fibers give longest wear.
Selvedges are the strategic
points Of wear on a bath towel, es-
pecially during vigorous rub
downs. Once the selvedge Is torn
the entire towel soon ravels and be-
comes ragged. Use of stronger yarn
in selvedges, and yarns that go
around the outer edge of the towel
and back through the selvedge add
life to the towel.
Absorbency is one of the first re-
quisites in buying bath towels. The
looser the weave and the thicker
the pile the more blotter-like the
towel. Terry or Turkish" towels
dried in brisk breeze and left
unironed remain fluffy and alb
sorbent.

being studied by the home project

course. Anyone interested in join

. October 3Oth, at 1855 o'clock, at
the home of William Engle, his only
surviving son.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist Episcopal church in this
city Tuesday afternoon, with Rev
M. L. Brann, the pastor in charge
Burial was made in Greenwood
cemetery. The pallbearers were
George Fish, Frank Pangburn
Walter Barnette, Frank Bunker
DeLos Trattles and AL Hesse.
Mr.. Engle was born in Graben-
den, Switzerland, January II, 1847,
and passed away at the age of 80
years, 9 months and 10 days. When
he was six years old he came to
America with his parents, who liv-
ed on a claim near Dubuque, Iowa,
until he was nine years old. At that
time they moved to Pleasant Grove,
near Rochester.
In 1869, when Mr.. Engle was
twenty-five years old, he was unit
ed in marriage to Elizabeth Schuy-
Ter. To this union five children
were born, all of them preceding
him in death with the exception of
w. l.. Engle, with whom he made
his home until he died. Mrs. Engle
passed away six years ago.
In the year of 1880 Mr.. and Mrs.
Engle came to Sank Centre, and
located at Cedar Lake, where they
engaged in farming. They were sue
cssful and remained on the farm
until 1888, when they traded the
farm for one in Raymond township
where he engaged in raising cattle.
such as purebred Herefords. Later
they traded the farm in Raymond
township for a farm two miles
southwest of Sank Centre. After
living on this farm for five years
they went to Washington, and after
four years returned to Sank Gen.
tire to make their home. Following
the death of Mrs. Engle, he went
to live with his son.
The children of Mr.. Engle, of
whom only one survive, were as
follows: George T. Engle, John D.
Engle, Mabel c. Engle, Margaret
E. Engle, William l.. Engle. There
are also II grandchildren and 10
great grandchildren.

could have been done much quick
er. He urged the club to call the at
tention Of this matter to the coun-
ty engineer. Adolph Ebensteiner
called to Mr.. Schloegle's attention
the fact that owing to the round
ed up roads in the township it was
impossible to operate the large
county snow plows on them. He
said they get hung up, and advised
that township officers level the
roads so that plows could be used
on them. No action was taken on
the suggestion of Mr.. Schloegle.

Duck Season To
Close Next Sunday
Continued from Page One)

Game refuge has caused a great
deal of confusion, explained Ed M
McKeever, Deputy Director of the
State Division of Game and Fish.
Deer hunting will be permitted
during the open season within five
miles of each side of the Gunflint
Trail, the Ely-Buck state highway
No. l, the Fernberg road, and any
other regularly maintained state,
county or township roads within or
adjacent to the refuge"
The gray fox and squirrel season
will remain open until January 1,
1888. Next Sunday simultaneously
with the duck shooting season, the
season on quail will practically end
the small game season.
Prompt action by hunters in
sending in their reports of game Ia
ken was urged this week by Harry
Speakes, director of the State divi-
sion of Game and Fish.
These reports are the only meth
cd we have of estimating the
amount of game taken each year in
Minnesota, and it is therefore es-
sential that hunters assume the
responsibility of sending in Their
reports" Speakes said.
The law requires that 1887 Ii
cense reports be sent to the Game
and Fish Division not later than
January 81, 1888, the report said.
Last year about 40 percent of all
hunters sent us their reports
Speakes pointed out. 1--WE feel that
many more should be willing to
give us their cooperation in this
matter"

Your Agency believes we are now
over the hump Of this type of relief
work. True, we will have to meet
many calls for help this winter and
we will handle each case on its
particular merits. To give you a
true picture of the work done the
past two years take these figures
from the health department of our
schools:
Nov. 1885, per cent of the 1920
school children needing teeth and
eyes corrected-62 per cent.
June 1887, per cent of the 1040
school children needing teeth and
eyes corrected (ndigent) 10 per-
cent.
People Cooperate
The biggest factor in this work
was parental cooperation. The Red
Cross wants to believe that through
the agitation and advertising result
ing from our work the attention of
parents was focused on their chill
dren's health with resulting cor
receive measures applied.
The second factor was state aid
obtained for INDECENT children over
16 years of age. Of the 1040 chill
dren enrolled in our schools about
160 are over 16 years of age and of
that number over one-half were
certified on the INDECENT rolls. OF
the $50 children under 16 years
your Red Cross fixed the teeth of
121 children and supplied glasses
for 16 children, at a total cost, re-
lief rates, of $4,000.
To wipe out the $111.O0 indebted
ness, and to give us a little money
for the coming years work, we
respectfully ask you to enroll in
the local Red Cross. Not only the
Mr.. in the family but also his good
wife. The membership fee Is only

position of the team members that
this game will be another step to-
ward the Glass B championship.
With extreme weather conditions
and the postponer11ent of school
activities, it has been difficult to
hold any practices. The EAGLES
staged a practice game, Saturday
night, with ''town talent" and a'e-
ceived a defeat for their efforts.
Only some OF the first string team
members were present, however.
With the resumption Of school
activities, the team is undergoing
