ONLY ONE PAIR OF EYES.

AS fall days grow shorter, school
lessons must be done by artificial light,
and many parents appreciate the i'm
portance of the right kind of light for
home study.
The lamp, whether oil or electric,
should stand high so that the burner
or bulb is above the level of the eyes
and the glare is concealed by shade.
The electric light bulb should be frosted
on the inside to avoid glare. With the
light reflecting downward in wide
circle upon the study table. The size
of the shade, its depth from top to
bottom and its width at the bottom, all
affect light efficiency. If the inside
of the shade is white Or very light
colored, the reflection will be good. On
the other hand, if the decoration on the
outside of the shade penetrates the
shade, the lighting will not be efficient.
The Illuminating Engineers Society
has designed a number of sturdy, eff
cient lamps, labeled n. E. S." that are
considered very satisfactory by lighting
specialists. The bowls of these lamps
reduce glare because they diffuse the
light.

Birth and Death Records
viii be Brought to Date

In letter received from WPA head
quarters it is learned that continu-
alton of the project of establishing an
alphabetical card index of existing birth
and death records will be continued to
completion in this city.
This work was begun by William
Spreitzer and Elmo Starkman several
weeks ago.
Existing birth and death records since
1895 have been entered chronologically
in bound volumes which are obsolete
and for which there is no index and
which cause great confusion in locating
any record unless the inquirer knows
the date of birth and death.
Messrs. Spreitzer and Starkman have
also completed comprehensive record
of employees and employment for Ely.

Lambert, Hedloff, Milkovich

Mayor Lambert is a native of

twenty-five years ago with the
telephone service of the Du-
| luth & Iron Range railroad as
manager of the Ely exchange.
All the aldermen for next year
are Ely young men, born here
and graduates of the Ely
schools. All are successful in
their own business and work
and this fact presages the sue
cessful management of the
business of the city. They
have the unanimous we'll

"hello" and "it was delightful''

Whew! It's kinda monotonous
even for the readers, guess.
It happens that sometimes for
a whole week you go every night
to a dance to the same club and
the only difference is that you shake
hands with six different hostesses

those l mentioned, I think every

of our smart Washington hostesses
At least they give us some
