TrichinOSis Prevalent
In United States.

TrichinoSis, the disease that comes
from eating infected and inSufficiently
cooked pork, is much more common in
the United States than people used to
think.
Post morten studies in trichinoSiS
have now been made of more than
1000 persons in various parts of the
United States, including st. Paul and
Minneapolis. These studies show, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued today by
the Minnesota State Medical AsSoci-
atoms committee on public health
education, that nearly 13 per cent of
the population has had trichinoSiS.
This astonishing large percentage is
quoted by the doctors to emphasize the
ever-present danger that lies in con-
suming under-cooked pork, since there
is no way of knowing definitely whether
or not any pork is infested with the
| trichina worm.
TrichinosiS is a serious illness. 1t is
sometimes fatal and its symptoms re-
semble so many other acute illnesses
that it is easy to mistake it for other
diseases
The first stage is usually an acute
intestinal upset caused by the develop
ment of the trichina worm from the
dormant stage in which it is taken into
the stomach into the mature worm
After that the larvae are carried in the
blood stream to other parts of the body
lodging eventually in muscle tissue
This stage is accompanied by muscular
pain and swelling. Finally the larvae
become encapsulated and inactive anc
the inflammation subsidies. Even wher
the result is not fatal, it is likely tc
involve a long and exhausting illness
The only way to be certain of avoid
ing trouble, according to the doctors
bulletin, is to cook all pork thoroughly
Sailing and picking, alone, will not
kill the trichina worm.

NeU Executive Chosen
For Boy Scout Council

The Headwaters Area Council has
chosen Amadeo Mattioli of the Gitchee
Ounce Council of Superior, Wis, as the
successor to Mr.. G. S. Chase. Mr.
Mattioli is particularly we'll fitted to
fill the position left vacant by Mr..
Chase's removal to St. Paul, because he
is Range boy, having been born in
Hibbing and grown to early manhood
there. He was a charter member of
Troop One, Boy Scouts of America, in
Hibbing, and became an Eagle Scout
He attended the Hibbing schools, where
he was not anly good student, but
star athlete as well. He graduated from
the University of Minnesota, and while
attending there, he participated in
various Boy Scout activities in that
locality.
Mr.. Mattioli became a Field Execu-
tive at Grand Forks in the Lake Agassiz
Council, and served in the same cap
acity in the Red River Valley Council,
with headquarters at Fargo He was
field executive in the old Iron Range
Council, which is now a part of the
HeadwaterS Area Council For the last
two years he has been located in Su-
perior and is now serving as executive
in that locality. Mr.. Mattioi has had
a great number of years experience in
Scouting work and all its phases, is an
enthusiastic camper and good Or
ganizer and was active in civic affairs
in all communities in which he has
lived.
The impetus that the Headwaters
Area Council has already attained
ought to carry far; the Council should
grow under his leadership and develop
to much greater degree than it now
enjoys.

FINLAND HOPES
 TO BE HOST AT
 194O CONTESTS
Italy and Poland Also Aft CT Honor of Sponsoring
 Spectacle

Paris, July 18-(UP)-Helsingfors can easily organize the 1940 Olympic games, Finnish Consul J. Brusin said today in reply to the Marquis de Polignac, French member of the 1n- ternational committee.
 Finland will be proud and happy to stage the games" Brusin told the marquis. Our biggest stadium only holds 35,000 spectators now, but 1t can be enlarged to accomodate 50,- 900. We have all material necessary for other sports, but must build a swimming stadium and an Olympic village to house the athletes. It will be easy to complete these in two years"
 The marquis was seeking an oof1- cial guarantee that Helsingfors could construct an Olympic village and the necessary secondary struc- lures after receiving the cabled ofi- cial notification that Japan had re- nounced the games.
 That's all we needed to designate another site," he said. "At our MdTCIl UlteGulS III SduO WC VAoudHy decided that should Japan decline as host, Finland would be offered the honor. In Finland had refused we still had bids from the United States and England to fall back on. After receiving official guarantees that Helsinfors can organize the games in the next two years, President Baillet-Latour will call an emer- gency meeting of the executive conn., mittee or loll members by mail on the choice of the site"
 It waslearned that Japan already had, put in bid for the 1944 games if the Sino-Japanese war had ended by then, but it was not believed likely Tokyo would be designated again so soon because England has been campaigning actively for the 1944 games, and it has been reported that several South American coun- tries would ask for the games. Italy, Greece and Poland also were eager to be host.

Giants Pull to Within Two Points of Lead With
 Single Victory
By LESLIE AVERY

(Uhited Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 18-(UP)-Dizzy Dean has gone back to work and ance again P. K. Wrigley's Chicago Cubs are a threat in the National league pennant race.
 Dizzy got back on the Chicago mound after 2h month layoff and turned in one of his better perform ances to beat Boston yesterday.
 When Big Bill Lee blanked the Bees 70 with a five hit perform ance in the second game cf the double-header, the Cubs went into third place behind the New York Giants and only AZ games back of the leading Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the fifth straight win for the Cubs, on the heels of their six game losing streak that caused Wrigley to hint he might get new man. ager.
 The Giants pulled within two per- centage points of the lead when they beat the pace-setitng Pirates 2-1 in the opening game of dou- ble-header. The second had to be called at the end of the ninth be- cause of Pittsburgh's Sunday closing law and the score was. 7-7. The largest crowd ever to see league game in the Smoky City, 43,241, overf1owed Forbes field.
 The Cincinnati Reds, who had fought their way back into the thick of the race with seven-game win ming streak, fell back into fourth place by dropping two games to Brooklyn. The scores were 5-3 and "A. A five run rally in the ninth gave the Dodgers the opener, and five-run assault in the third clinched the nightcap.
 The Philadelphia-St. Louis twin bill was rained out.
 In the American league, the New York Yankees won their seventh straight, 16-3, from Detroit. Hen- rich, Selkirk, Gordon and Dickey each hit home runs with two mates on base. Greenberg clouded his 28th homer for Detroit. The victory kept the Tanks 1h games ahead of the Cleveland Indians who nosed Phil adelphia 7-6 after crushing a three run uprising in the eighth that drove Bob Teller to the showers.
 Boston pulled to within two games of the Indians when they beat St. Louis twice, 11-5 and IA. Vos- mix and Foxx homered in each game, the latter running his total to 26. Chicago overwhelmed Wash ington 12-1 behind the seven hit hurling of Monte Stratton.
