ELY SWIMMERS
AGAIN VICT0RS
Ely Mermen Sink Chisholm in
Own Pool for First Time
in Several Starts.

For the first time in several years
the Ely swimmers turned the trick and
beat the Chisholm swimmers in their
own pool. For some reason our boys
seem to have difficulty finding them
selves in the Chisholm pool and usually
their time is much slower than in ouI
own, or any other pool. The reason
may be that the Chisholm pool is
wider than our pool. The water is
usually several degrees warmer than in
our own and seems to take the pep
out of the Ely swimmers. It is also
very dark which makes it difficult tc
tell when they are nearing the turns.
Joe Grahek swan his share of the
free style relay in record time, negoti-
ating the 40 yards in 1877, which is
unusually fast. Victor Markovich eS-
tabliShed new record for himself by
swimming the 220 yard free style race
in 2:41, which is more than remarkable
for an eighth grade swimmer. He also
swan very fine race in the medley
relay and picked up several feet or
Cvar of Chisholm, the last man on the
relay team, who nosed out Markovicf
by only few inches both in the 22t
yard race as well as in the medley relay
Klun swan fine race in the 1O(
yard free style and bettered his owr
time, going to distance in 593, losing
out by only one-tenth of a second tt
Sutich of Chisholm
Joe Atkins also bettered his time fol
the 100 yard back stroke by churning
through the water in 1:103, taking ar

with perspiration after an experience
he had the other day. Yackel had a
total of $$33012 in checks and currency
tucked away in an envelope, and was
about to enter the bank to purchase a
draft for that amount. Before reaching
his destination, the envelope slipped
from his pocket. A gust of wind caught
the missive and proceeded to distribute
the contents in all directions. I'M
mediately Yakel started his treasure
hunt, and others, sensing what had
happened, joined in the search. Some
of the bills travelled a full block, others
were found under culvertS and various
other places. The loser had visions of
making good large percentage of that
which had blown away, but before the
search had ended every penny of the
amount which had blown away had
been found and returned to Yackel.

NelU Fabricated House
Incorporates Latest Ideas

Early in 1885 the Forest Products
Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, built
its first experimental prefabricated
house. Another one-story prefabrica-
ted plywood house consisting of living
room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom,
and utility room has just been erected
on the grounds of the laboratory. This
new house Incorporates the latest find
lngs in house research. These findings
include, among other things, the use
Of plywood made up with a synthetic
resin adhesive and provide for moisture
barriers within wall, floor and roof
panels. Other interesting features Of
the new construction are the use of
mineral insulation to increase fire re-
sistance in addition to giving necessary
heat and sound insulation, and provide
for plywood floors with 1-8 inch hard
wood veneer as wearing surface.
The new house is an example of a
system of prefabricated atwood con-
struction developed at the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory in line with modern
structural research and modern wood
fabrication. The system is based on
the use of standard units, sections, or
panels to be made in large quantities
by factory methods, and then assembled
quickly and without waste on the site.
The house will serve as a test of the
permanency of prefabricated construc-
ton under actual weather conditions.
The floor area of the house is "a
by 36 feet and includes a IL by 20
foot living room, besides the other
rooms. The walls of the living room
are Of natural finished birch, while the
ceiling is painted light color. The
floors are of birch plywood, as are all
OF the other rooms, except the kitchen
and utility room, which are of Douglas
fir plywood. The walls of the hall are
also finished in natural birch while the
walls of the other rooms are of Douglas
fir painted. The house is heated with
warm air furnace.
In prefabricated houses there is
decided tendency toward one-story
homes. 1t is, however, both practicable
and feasible to erect two-story houses
with prefabricated panels as con-
structed by the Forest Products Lab
oratory.

RIOT, Then COOL.
ANGER IN STEMS.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. IA G.NS0
Combatants in a riot between
American Legionnaires and Ger.
man-AmericanS Bund followers
cooled off in a beer hall early to-
day after police broke up the
battle In Harugari FrohSinn Hall.
The battle started during a
speech by Fred Hammer, local
bund leader and q former State
assemblyman. About half Of the
audience were members Of the
legion, wearing their Legionnaire
caps.
When Hammer said his grand
father came to this country to
escape military rule in Germany,
a voice in the audience thundered:
Then he was a coward"
Hammer shouted:
who said that? Come out
side with me and we'll settle
that right now!"
Immediately half o dozen fist
fights broke out, with screaming
women spectators rushinS for the
doors. A riot call brought police
reserves who cleared the hall in a
few minutes, after Is persons were
knocked unconscious.
No one was arrested. Some Of
the rioters then adjourned to a
nearby beer hall, where, over
foaming mugs Of amber brew, an
ger gave way to song.
Before Hammer spoke, part Of
the audience had Justify booed q.
Wilhelm Kunze, bund leader, who
denounced the American press. A
Legionnaire jumped to his feet
and demanded that Kunze salute
the American flag.
Kunze gave the Nazi salute.
