With Easter over we begin to plan our
warm weather wardrobe. This year it
presents a number of interesting, simple
and basic ideas. The first of these
coming to my mind is the classic sport
dress which this year is celebrating the
50th anniversary of its inception. The
first sports dress developed to permit
women to ride bicycles was a shirtwaist
and skirt model with leg O. mutton
sleeves and skirt cascading over the
toes until one wonders how bicycles
were ever ridden. The modern version
of this classic has abandoned the leg
O. mutton sleeves, shortened and
loosened the skirt but kept the shirt
waist and skirt idea. In white, pastel
or dark shade, today's one piece Shirt
waist type sports dress is made up in
such variety of materials that it is
worn the clock around to everything not
formal. 1t is worn for active sports as
well as spectator sports. It is worn
shopping, to lunch and to tea. Some
times it is chambray, sometimes silk
jersey, sometimes tub silk, sometimes
linen and sometimes one of the new
rayon weaveS. Usually it has front stud
fastenings. This classic sports dress is
practically timeless in style value. Un-
til it falls in shreds you can wear it to
fashion advantage. If you live where
summers are more or less cool, make it
up in a soft flannel or wool jersey.
In addition to its so-called eternally
good style, our one price ShirtwaiSt type

SailbOat Capsizes
TUO Boys Rescued

Sleepy Eye-Two young lads had a
narrowing experience last Sunday after
noon on Sleepy Eye lake when their
sail boat capsized, throwing the boys
into the water. The incident might
have had tragic ending had they not
been rescued, as one of the two had be-
come entangled with a rope and was
unable to free himself. The boys, Del
mar Dangers and Donald Wohlford,
senior and sophomore, respectively, got
off to a bad start on their Easter va
cation. The wind being favorable Sun
day the two rugged up row boat with
a large sail and launched the craft off
the south shore of the lake near Del

west wind the two were carried over
the choppy waves at good clip. At a
point two blocks from the opposite
shores the boat capSized tossing the

First they chung to the boat, then de-

then the claim should be made by
the surviving wife or husband, or in the
absence of either of these, then the
children. If there are none of these,
then the grandchildren or parents of
the deceased employee should apply for
the benefit.
If the employees estate is to be set
tied legally, then the person who is
appointed by the probate court to have
charge of the estate should apply.
Certain forms must be filled out in
making claims for these benefits. Be
sides filling out the actual application
for the claim, it is necessary to have
a statement of death from the under
taker or from the doctor who attended
the employee in his last illness, or a
certified copy of the public death
record.
In order to figure the amount of the
benefit, the Social Security Board must
know the total of wages the employee
earned after December 81, 1896. For
this reason, each employer of the de-
ceased worker is requested to COM

When an administrator or executor of
an estate applies for the benefit, he
must submit a certificate from the pro-

appointment paper, to establish that he
is the legal representative of the estate.
Officials of the Duluth office of the
Social Security Board will be glad to
furnish claim forms and help in filling
them out, without charge, to any person
eligible to file a claim for death bene-

The following letter from Senator
Fred w. BeSsette considerably resents
the statement made in a signed article
in these columns, two weeks ago by
Sigurd Olson, on the proposed Quetico-
Superior proposition. The letter signed
by Mr.. BesSette says:
MY attention was called to an article
in your paper by one Sig Olson.
Following the example of his patron
saint and mentor, Ernest Oberholtzer
Mr.. Olson accuses those who oppose
them of disappearing facts" To
those of us who know what it is all
about there is no need to resort to such
tactics. We remember the Infamous
Fuller Bill which was instigated by this
same group and introduced innocently
by an unSuSpecting congressman from
Illinois. That bill would have made
national park, by congressional act,
of even a larger area than is now pro-
posed. Thanks to Bear River" Peter
son, the Cook editor, the scheme was
given publicity in time, and when Con-
gresham Fuller found he had been de-
ceived and imposed upon, he had the
bill withdrawn.
st have file on the Fuller Bill hear
ingS which shows how letters signed by
non-reSidentS were mailed from all the
stations on the Canadian Northern
Railroad in st. Louis County to men,
berS of Congress in order to give the
idea that people living within that area
were in favor OF the bill
ANY number of men who were men,
berS of the state legislature will con-
firm my statement that the words
national park" have been used by
Oberholtzer on more than one occasion
when he appeared at legislative hear
ings.
I'm not angry at Mr.. Olson for &C
cusing me of deliberate misrepreSenta-
ton. I'm only sorry for him, because
know that when he gets little older
and has had little practical experience
he will learn that when you find re-
former you will usually find man who
he will find that his hero has made
a satisfactory business out of this border
racket for more than Is years. He likes
to rave about the beauties of border
lakes, but it is hard to pin him down to
talk about who is going to pay the bill.
No one of sense disputes the need of
longtime program of forest manage
ment for the Superior National Forest
and for the Kabetogama State Forest,
but there must be some means devised
to take care of the expense of local
government and the paying of existing
indebtedness during the long waiting
period before the forest begins to pay
dividends
1--WE hear good deal about the pay
ments to the county by the forest, but
the facts are that they are very small.
In Lake County, for example, the U. S.
owns over $4,000 acres. In payments
to the county over a five-year period
average was 1884, of which the school
district gets half, or $94.22; just about
enough to take care of one pupil.
Read the imposing list of important
names of people who it is alleged sub
scribe to the Quetico-Superior Council.
Not one of them lives anywhere near
the area involved, and it is doubtful
of many of them ever saw this section

Just who was first to miss his wallet
is not certain, but Mr.. Bake thought
he had lost his billfold when on search

also lost theirs. Undoubtedly, the pick

Since many persons from other towns
attended the services, local people could

Spring Tonic for All
Described by Physicians.

The time for spring tones has arrived
according to today'S bulletin from the
committee on public health education
Of the Minnesota State Medical Associ-
alton, but the prescription written by
the doctors committee does not call
for the traditional sulphur and molasses
In place of connections out of a
bottle, the doctors recommend, first,
judiciouS amount of exercise out in
the spring sunshine to take the form of
gardening, raking, playing games or
just walking.
Second, they recommend three square
meals a day with some fresh vegetables,
milk and fruit as part of the meals-in
case winter lassitude has taken the
form of neglect of these essentials to
good health.
Third, they recommend eight hours
or more of regular sleep out of each
"a, in case winter habits of burning
the candle at both ends have resulted
in short rations Of this very important
adjunct to eVerybody'S well-being.
For most people these are main in
gradients to any effective tonic, &C
cording to the doctors. They should
be taken regularly and conscientiously
Others who are really under par need
special attention and no general pre-
scription will apply to them.
Of course the best of prescriptions
can be taken to excess and the doctors
especially warn against any violent
gardening or raking, for instance, taken
abruptly after a winter of inactivity.

To the families or estates of Mime

commercial or industrial jobs after
December 81, 1886, and who have died,
the Federal Government is now paying
cash benefits under the old-age in

The amount of these benefits equal
3h per cent of the total wages which
the deceased worker earned between

Who should claim the benefits in

When you get q good picture, en-
large it! Amy good snap is better
when it's big. Enlarging "opens
UP" the details-lets you see inter-
esting things you didn't see before.
And large picture just naturally
has more appeal to the eye. Give
a person two pictures, equally good,
and he will automatically look at
the larger one first. Moreover, he
will look at it longer.
Don't let small size or surplus
material handicap your pictures.
Any snapshot can be enlarged some

made on fine-grained film, can be
increased many times in size. Very

EDITORS NOTE: To plan diet

important food elements, we must
learn to utilize the discoveries

of the newer knowledge of nutrition

interpreters such as c. Houston
Goudiss, nationally known food au-
thority, who each week offers his
"What to Eat and Why" column in

the weight of one is twice that Of his
brother. Where one animal is puny
and underdeveloped, the second is
fat and sleek and full of vitality.
What has produced such differ
ence in weight and general physical
well-being? Merely slight differ
ence in diet. The two rats have
lived under identically the same
conditions, but the smaller animal
on the left has received food lack
ing in sufficient vitamins, while the
other rat has been fed the same diet,
reinforced with vitamins.
If a well-balanced food ration is
vital to the health of animals, how
much more vital it must be for
human beings. Surely the lesson is
plain to see. If a mother wants her
children to thrive she must feed
them adequately. The child who is
receiving a diet lacking in vitamins
has no chance to grow and develop
properly. Nor will the adult on de-
ficient diet attain or maintain Opt
mum health.

COOgan Plot
Thickens

HOLLYWOOD, May 6.-Jackie
Coogan's mother and stepfather
we're trying only to protect the
dover rights of his young bride,
blonde Betty Cradle, when they
inquired about the cash surrender
value of a 100000 insurance pol
icy on the kids life, the stepfather
explained here.
Coogan, first of the million-dol-
lar kid stars of the films, had said
the discovery that the stepfather,
Arthur Bernstein, had planned to
cash in the policy was one of the
reasons he started his account
ing suit in an effort to recover
the 100000 he earned as a
child actor.
GIVES REASONS
Bernstein admitted today that
he had conferred with insurance
companies about cashing in the
policy but said there were two
reasons, both satisfactory to him
self and to Jackie's mother, now
Mrs. Bernstein.
For one, he declared, Mrs. Bern
stein had decided she no Longer
wanted to pay the premium on
policy, in which she was named al
beneficiary, from which she coulc
collect only if Jackie died.
Moreover, Bernstein continued
they felt that Jackie should hav'
a new policy, in which his brid'
should be the beneficiary.
THE policy we tried to cash
in" he said, was such that
Jackie could never change the
beneficiary or have any dover
right in it,"
