Land Exchange Must
AUait LalD Passage

Requests to exchange lands under the
terms of the land exchange amend
melt, passed in the recent election, have
already arrived at the department
of conservation, according to Ellery A
Foster, director of the division OF
forestry.
No exchanges can be made as yet
however, for the amendment voted on
at the election was simply an enabling
act, which would permit the legislature
to enact laws providing the machinery
for exchange of lands. The legislature
will no doubt consider such laws early
in the coming session. This is one OF
the subjects that will be discussed al
the meeting of the forestry interim
commission at their meeting on Dec
8, 9, and 10.
When an exchange law is passed
provision will be made for application
forms and machinery set up for ap-
praiSal and exchange of lands. Until
such law is passed by the legislature
however, the department is not in a
position to handle requests, except tc
file them and ask people making the
requests to await the action of the law
making body.

Duo-Pianists Score
at Orchestra Concert

cert followed by the waltz Modern"
by Oakland and selection from
Naughty Marietta" by Herbert.
Miss Gillette and Mr.. Micari played
"Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" by Bach
Hess; Rondo and Two Etudes by the
immortal Chopin. This group and their
rendition placed the young artists in
the galaxy of notableS and carried out
the high achievement these two young
people have maintained in their ap-
pearance in the larger centers and on
thir early road to fame.
A three-part selection entitled
'fPunchinello," Yesterthoughts" and
"Seranata" continued the achievement
of the orchestra followed by two rhyth-
mic transcriptions entitled Pale Moon
and by the Waters of Minnetonka,
the orchestra closing its group with the
selection, "Song of the Flame" by Stot-
hart Gershwin.
AS the second group by Miss Gillette
and Mr.. Micari, the duo played "Fetes'
by Debussey- Ravel; Study in Verse
by Saint Saens and "Ritmo" by In
fante. Here the pianists were twice
recalled and nothing would appease the
clamor for more but more music. Noted
players are loathe to furnish encore
numbers as a usual thing, but not Sc
these two.
A most pleasant evening came to {
close with the orchestra playing Chan
son JoyeuSe by Ravina.

The triumph scored by the Municipal
Band with their concert three weeks
ago when Miss Catherine Van Buren,
appeared as guest artist was repeated
Friday evening when Miss Vera Gil
lette and Vincent Micari appeared as
guest artists with the Ely Municipal
orchestra at the Washington auditor
ium.
Two groups of three excellent num-
bers were given by the duo-pianists.
The audience was enthralled with the
music of tn duo and the insistent ap-
pIause forced them to respond to en-
cores which were most graciouSly given.
No curtain calls seemed to satisfy, only
more music was wanted by the large
audience.
The pianists however were not the
lone attraction at Fridays concert. The
orchestra under the able direction and
tutorage of Prof. Frank Di Nino fur
nished excellent music and applause
for them attested to the appreciation OF
the audience.
The orchestra opened the evening"
fest of better music with three num-

THE
| MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

With Christmas just around the cor
ner we had better devote our time to
listing gift suggestions.
Homemakers always love kitchen CAD
gets, and there are a number of new
ones to attract their attention this
year For example, a small Syphon type
bottle makes whipped cream of plain
cream and does it faster than you
can say the word "jiffy." This same
bottle makes the most delicious frost
ing and pancake mixtures, as well as
a number of other things.
The steam electric iron not only does
a perfect job of pressing your velvet
dress, your oiled silk curtains and other
usually impossible to iron articles, but
it makes dads old suit look like new.
You know that fine can opener that
attaches to a wall bracket? Now you
can buy triple ice crusher and nut
cracker that leaves the kernel whole,
and fit each one right into the wall
bracket you have already put up for
the can opener. The nut cracker is
ideal for all year around use, and if
you like to make your own ice cream
then you will love the ice crusher.
An electric mixer makes gift that
will please any woman. With it you
can mix cake in no time, beat candy
to just the right creaminess, turn out
perfect salad dressing and mash po-
tatoeS without any trouble at all. Then
too, there are lots of attachments for
electric mixers Some of them are
silver polishers, potato peeler, slicer
juice extractor and shredder.
For the man in your life why not
buy pair of those fine hazel pigskin
gloves that come with a five year guar
antee? Or if he has hard time get
ting into his shoes-give him that Eng
lish leather shoe horn with the tab ano
finger ring attachment. This attach
ment permits him to pull as hard as he
can without any danger of the shoe
horn slipping.
If he is key fumbler why not give
him the key case with the automatic
spring. The case is leather-the spring
works by pressing small side button
which pops the keys right into his
fingers.

The Widespread Industry
OF Minnesota

Industry is found in every part of Minnesota. 1t
found in the great counties of northeastern Mime
sofa where many are dependent upon the forest
products and mining industries. 1t is found in
metropolitan communities and at county cross roads.
Industry is, by MEANS confined to the large
cities of the state From facts may be shown
that So per cent of the manufacturing employment
of Minnesota is found in the three large cities of
Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth. Forty-seven per
cent is found outside of these three large cities
The largest single industry in Minnesota is the
processing preserving of agricultural products.
This is found wherever farms are found.
There are 73 communities in Minnesota with
population of over $500 people, A large part of the
population of these communities is supported pri
mariy through activities founded upon business and

Beauty Shops Ban on Tipping
Hinted as Pay Is Protested

minimum scale became mandatory,
two months hence.
Among the employers who appeared
to protest was Emile Beauvais, who
questioned why the board had fixed
an $18 minimum for beauty culture
operators, whereas the same board
previously had fixed q minimum of
SIT . week for clerks of the retail
trade.
Another protest came from Gertrude
T. Demonet. an employer, who said
$3.50 . week would have been fair. /"
Several employers, questioned by
board members on the tipping ques-
tion, said they did not know what the
tips amounted to, that the operators,
as q rule, refused to tell them what
their tips amounted to. and that for
this reason they generally did not
have to pay the social security tax
on that portion of the employees wages
which came from tips.
This latter point brought q protest
from Mrs. Betty Anderson, an opera
tor, who protested that the tipping
talk was unfair, since the operators
were not paying tax on tips and yet
wanted tips considered in the light
Of the wages.
Apparently the theory back Of the
suggestion that the cheaper price shop
might ban tipping was that they
could avoid IN increase In prices and
remain In . position to compete With
the higher priced establishments. The
point was not developed, however.

Predictions that mo tipping" signs

Board as 1 dozen shop proprietors

wage fixed for beauty culture workers.
Miss Albertine Pullman, q shop
operator who Is president of the WASH

tested that it would be impossible
for the cheaper" shops to pay the

that the board amend its orders and

mending the minimum was unani-

that he had discharged ! Of 10
operators after the wage scale was

to employ 10 operators at the $1s
rate. Mr.. Bennett explained that he
