SAFETY DRIVE
| STARTS AUG. |.
Lowly Gopher, Decked Out in
Maroon and Gold, Will be
Safety Emblem.

A comprehensive safety drive, start
ting this month and reaching its peak
in September, has been announced by
A. v. Rohweder, Duluth, president of
the Minnesota Safety Council. Similar
to the one conducted by the council
last year. the drive will lay emphasis
not only on traffic safety but also on
eliminating accidents in the home, on
Fairgrounds, at resorts and on lakes,
and at private and public beaches.
Decked out in the maroon and gold
colors of the state of Minnesota, the
lowly gopher will be used as the en-
blem for this years safety drive. The
1889 slogan, Color Safety-At Home,
At School, At Work, At Play, and on
the Street and Highway" will also be
employed.
Posters of the gopher and slogan will
be distributed throughout the state.
The SIS percent cut in traffic deaths
during the Fourth of July holiday has
encouraged council officials to drive for
a new safety record for this fall.

Timber Jobs Exempted
In Hours Ruling.

Ruling that the industry was season.
al, Elmer F. Andrews, wage-hour adj
ministrator, Friday, granted the lumber
industry of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan an exemption from the A.
hour work week during the spring
freShlet months.
He ordered an extension of the max
imum work week from A ito 81 hours
for a 14-week period, the Associated
Press reported.
With this exemption, the wage and
hour administrator has set aside three
14-week periods during the year when
the industry may operate on 56-hour
basis, Fred Bessette, secretary of the
Timber Producers association in Du-
luth, explained. The other periods are
during the peeling season, May to Aug
ust, and the winter hauling season.
The decision of Administrator An
drews enables the industry in the lake
states to compete with timber pro-
ducers in other sections of the country
who have been granted similar eX-
emptionS, Mr.. Bessette explained.

FOREST fire
INJURY CASES
Federal Judge Rules His Court
Has Judgment Jurisdiction
Against Government.

An important decision in the 1918
forest fire injury cases, was handed
down Saturday by Federal Judge Robert
G. Bell in which he ruled that his court
has jurisdiction to enter judgment
against the government, according to
an A. P. dispatch.
The decision was in the test case
brought in behalf of Andrew Bang,
Munger, Mimi, who sought to recover
$1,000 personal damage for burns he
suffered in the fire.
1t was one of the five injury and
death claims that were submitted to
Judge Bell with the government con-
testing on the grounds that the court
did not have jurisdiction. The govern
ment asked dismissal on this ground,
but Judge Bell ruled that his court did
have jurisdiction and sustained the
position of the plaintiffs that the court
has jurisdiction and can enter judg-
ment in the cases involved.
The plaintiff Bang contended he had
sustained property loss and personal
injuries. 1t was agreed his total loss
was $4,000. He was paid 40 per cent
or $1,000 in settlement. After passage
of the Tucker act, he applied for the
balance of $4,000. The comptroller
general certified the claim for the bal
ance of the property loss for $4,000, but
refused to certify for payment of the
balance of his claim for personal in
juries in the sum of $4,000.
In his decision Judge Bell held that
it was merely simple arithmetical

BENEFICATED
1888 IRON ORE
Records Show That 4S.7 Per
Cent Were Beneficated
SAYS University Bulletin.

The shipments of iron ore from Min
nesota in 1888, a season of curtaled
movement. amounted to 14,8158l1 gross
tons, of which 7,210,515 tons were bene-
ficated, or 4S7f6 Of the total, according
to the 1899 bulletin of the Mines Elk
pertinent Station of the University of
Minnesota, compiled by John j. Craig.
Under the head of concentration were
2.826,444 tons, and under the head of
crushed and screened were 4,384,07l
tons.
The ratio of 487qS to the total was
the highest in the history of iron
mining in Minnesota. Beneficiation Of
ore in this state began in 1905 with
the crushing and screening of 146,5O3
tons. Concentration was first inaug-
urated in 1907 With 9,816 tons and it
was not until 1911 that output of con-
centrated iron ore exceeded 1000 900
tons. 1t was in 1917 when the ratio
of beneficated ore to total shipments
exceeded 1917. 1t was 1929 that year
The highest ratio of beneficated ore
to the total shipments prior to 1888 was
in 1886 when it was 1870. The bene-
ficated iron ore of 1888 was divided
among the Minnesota ranges as fol-
lows: Mesabi, 5,923,112 tons; Vernilion
1926 tons, and Guyana, 375, 040 tons
The percentage of beneficated ore t.
total shipments by ranges was Mesab
AS, Vermilion 98.1 and Guyana 645
1t may be explained that all of tn,
beneficiated ore of the Vermilion rang'
came under the head of crushed ant
screened. Beneficiated on the Mesab
included washing, jogging, magnetic
concentration, Sintering and drying
The same is true of the Guyana witt
the omission of magnetic concentration
These statistics are of steadily in
creaSing interest and the iron minin
companies have been the voluntar
pioneers in conservation of the minera
resources of the state. If the state O
Minnesota was fortunate in havin
large resources of direct shipping irol
ore, it is doubly fortunate in havin
many times greater deposits of 10,
grade material which will prolong tn
mining industry almost indefinitely.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The Amazon Valley noted for the
many-colored birds which make it
their home, and among such birds
are parrots. Most brilliant of all
the parrots are those known as
"macaws."
The red-and-blue macaw has
blue tail and a body covered with
flaming red feathers. Its wings
have red, yellow, blue and green
feathers.
Another kind of macaw, the blue
and-yellow, has a blue tail, bright
blue wings and a yellow breast.
Its head is marked with yellow,
green and white feathers, and there
are little black streaks under the
eyes.
Macaws often have a length of
35 to 40 inches. Half of the length
Is in the tails.
Macaws have been taught to talk,
but they are not nearly so famous
IN this field as their relatives. the
gray parrots and the green parrots,
which do not have nearly such long
tails.
The green parrot of the Amazon
Valley makes its home in forests.
It is common as cage bird.
