USE CARE IN
PARKING CAR
Keep Inside Parking Lanes and
Outside Pedestrian Lanes
When Stopping.

Ely automobile drivers are urged to
cooperate with the police department
in observing parking regulations now
that a new coat Of paint has been ap-
piled to the paving in the business dis
trict, clearly marking parking areas,
according to Chief Douglas Nankervis.
Persons who leave a portion of their
cars protruding over the yellow line out
into the street are creating a traffic
hazard that will not be tolerated,
Chief NankerviS stated
Motorists should be careful in OBJ
serving the lanes reserved for pedestrian
traffic at street intersections, he urged.
When stopping for pedestrians or at
stop signs on through streets, cars
should be halted before they enter the
pedestrian traffic lane and not in the
center of it, he stated. Occasionally
car drivers crowd pedestrians from the
lane out into the path of approaching
traffic
A checkup on auto drivers who dis
regard these traffic regulations will be
made, he said.

GrouUing With Your Child


children are emotionally upset after
the coming of their parents. If parents
are tempted to visit their child at
camp, they should always refrain from
going until the child has had a week
or two in which to get used to his new
life.
Feeling sorry for child, parents
often give into his pleas to be allowed
to come home, when a stay of Just
another day or SO might turn the
tables from unhappiness to thorough
going acceptance of new friends, new
places, and new things to do.
AS in many cases where parents try
to save" their children and protect
them, they ease the immediate stu
alton without enough thought for the
future. The time is pretty sure to come
when every child will have to get along
without his parents-why make it
harder than need be by building up too
great dependency in early childhood?

GUARD AGAINST
SUMNER PERILS

Safety engineers tell us, in a recent
bulletin, that Accident never takes g
holiday. One set of hazards is merely
replaced by another as the season:
change.
Spring is melting into summer, and
everybody knows what summer hazards
are. But we shall remind you of them
anyway Some unpleasant things, il
remembered in this delightful season
of baseball, fishing, golf and gardening
will allow the season to pass less pain
fully.
So don't forget:
Heat proStration, heatstroke and sun
stroke. Avoid them by doing what the
doctors have said again and again
summer hygiene, summer diet, plenty of
salt when exerting yourself on hot
DAYS.
Water accidents. Remember the pre-
cautions to be taken oven though you
can swim. Don't swim directly after a
heavy meal or allow your swimming
appetite to get beyond your actual
prowess. And your conduct in boats.
Know what you are about and some
thing about the waters you sail on.
In boat, allow the most skillful sailor
to be in complete charge.
Fourth of July Attend public fire
works exhibits. Let somebody alSe
provide the show. Scores of children
die each year as the result of handling
fireworks, and thousands suffer pain
full burns.
Sunburn. A beautiful tan is fine,
and the suns rays are beneficial, but
thousands of impetuous tan seekers
suffer severe burns each year Many
of these impetuous ones who expose
themselves too long the first day are
obliged to spend days in bed where each
time they move they are painfully re-
minded Of their folly.
Automobiles. That Saturday after
noon hurry to get to the fishing spot,
or the swimming beach, and the Sun
day night drive back may be dangerous.
Crowded highways, passing on hills and
curves, too much hurry for the little
time saved-these are common, but
deadly hazards.
Automobile accidents were reduced
last year, from $500 in 1897 to $4,000
in 1888. Why not reduce the innumer-
able accidents from other causes.

Swimming Hazards Are
EMPHASIZED by ROhlUeder.

The hazards in swimming for people
with abnormal physical conditions ART
called to attention in an article in 9
current issue of Everybody's Health
the monthly publication of the Min
nesota Public Health association.
Based on survey, conducted by A
" Rohweder, president of the Mime
sofa Public Safety Committee, Duluth
and sponsored by the State Relief
Agency, the article emphasizes the fact
that for most people swimming is bene-
fetal, but that those individuals not in
normal health should not swim without
the consent of their physician.
The article points out that abnormal
physical conditions are the principal
contributing factors in 1920 of the
deaths by drowning in the state. The
annual toll is between ITO and 200
persons.
Epilepsy and Representatives, to
cold are listed as important factors in
the causes of drowning.
1.-The so-called cramps" the article
states, which so many healthy swim
mers experience are merely an ex-
preston of this Representatives, to
cold.''
A good plan, the article says, is not
to swim in very cold water, or to de-
sensitize your body by swimming in
water at about 10 degrees and gradually
accustoming the body to colder and
colder water. It is pointed out that
no one should go swimming alone as
there is no way of telling when assist
ance will be needed.

HoMEsICKNEss

Few indeed are they who can't re-
member ever being homesick. Often
times the poignantly recalled feelings
are associated with ones first stay
away from home, and the keen recol-
lection of such desperate feelings adj
vertises the need of accuStoming
children to being away from home while
they are still quite young, SO that long
established habit won't make their first
visits or trips away from home
wretchedly unhappy.
One woman recently told of how,
when she went away to school in a
nearby town at fourteen, she became so
terribly homesick that she finally gave
up, and left high school in order to be
with her family. Later on she re-
GREETED losing her chance at school,
and bravely began high school all over
again at the age of twenty. Few people
would have the courage to do as much.
How unnecessary such an episode would
have been had her parents realized that
she must have practice in being away
from them, and had arranged for her
to visit relatives, or stay over night or
over week-ends occasionally with her
friends, while she was still little girl.
One of the very desirable features of
summer camps for children is that they
make child's stay away from home
so enjoyable that he gets over his
loneliness for his mother and father
very readily. That is, if the parents
don't spoil his learning by turning up
at camp just when he has begun to
adjust! Some camps strictly limit the
days on which parents may visit, be-
cause they have found that some of the

CAPITOL
Congressman Knutson
President Wins Battle

By a vote of 243 to 181 President
Roosevelt won his fight in the
House to lift the embargo on the
expectation of aeroplanes, guns,
ammunition and flame-throwers.
In order to win that fight the
New Deal leadership had to resort
to high pressure methods that
smacked of log-rolling. To cap the
climax the Speaker and the Major
ity Leader took the floor to plead
for passage of the resolution. It is
rather unusual for the Speaker to
take part in the debates but this
was a must" matter with the Adj
ministration. The Speakers speech
was rather warlike and he frankly
took sides in the European war.
The applause that greeted his re-
marks indicated to me that there
exists a very dangerous state of
mind among the law makers in
Washington. To say that this Con-
gress is neutral would be untrue.
The national law making body is
preponderantly pro-Ally. In other
words, this is a tory Congress.
In view of the pro-Ally position
of the President and Congress I
do not see. much hope for remain
ing out of the European war. The
debates on the neutrality measure
were reminiscent of the discussions
that we had on the World war res
olution. Some members even went
so far as to intimate that we could
not afford to see the Allies lose.
The same arguments that we heard
back in 1917 were used, accompan-
led by the same old flag waving
and breast beating. Personally, l
cannot see why we should feel OBJ
ligated to go over there every 25
years to fight for the preservation
Of democracy. We went over there
once and before we get through
paying the last dollar of the bill
that we then incurred it will have
cost us one-third of our entire ma
tional wealth. We went into that
war with a national debt of one
billion dollars. Today, the Federal
government owes and is committed
to an indebtedness that amounts to
almost 4S billion dollars, or $4S for
every minute since the dawn of
the Christian era. What are we
thinking about? Do not the Presi-
dent and Congress realize that an
other war will pile up a debt so
high that there will be no way out
except through reputation? And
what will reputation do to us?
It will wipe out every insurance
policy, bank account and bond. 1t
will mean suffering for the masses,
chaos and worldwide Communism.
I ask my readers, is it worth the
price?
The neutrality bill passed by Con-
gress has some good features. I
strongly commend the provision
which prohibits American citizens
and American ships FROM entering
zones Of hostilities prescribed by
the President Of the United States,
or to transport munitions in time
