The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-11-23

QY FAR the most admired toy
- in gay and modern nursery
was red and black striped Scot
tie with a CLEAN in his pearl-but-
ton eye. A college girl in the fam
lily pilfered the pup for a mascot
which she kept perched on her
desk. The baby cried, and an
other Scottie had to be made. The
same pattern was used for an ap-
plique for Sonny's pillow which
met with enthusiastic approval.
BY this time it seemed obvious
that a Scottie might solve the
Christmas gift problem for any
number of people. So here he is.
You can make a pattern for him
yourself by following the diagram.
BY ruling the paper in either larg-
er or smaller squares, you may
make a dog any size desired. A
tiny applique is amusing for a
bathrobe or jacket pocket.

what were the preparations?
Hint: They took place in Chicago.

3. Official U. S. corn produc-
ton estimate for 1889 is 2,591,-
063 900 bushels. If domestic and
export requirements will take
2,575, O08, 900 of these bushels, why
must 1910 corn acreage allot-
ments be reduced about 10 per
cent next year? In other words,
why is there a corn problem?
4. Choice: Fires Prime Minis

to discredit the Blarney stone.

Wars Tension
Citizens
OF Bucharest
Usual Caiety Is Missing
From Rumania's
Capital City.
Prepared by National Geographic Society,
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.

Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
Grim war tension has sup
planted the usual gaiety in
Bucharest, the capital of Ru-
mania. AS city officials mourn
the recent assassination of
Prime Minister Calinescu and
members of an organization
suspected of planning the over
throw of the government are
being hunted, citizens are
alarmed by recent war activi-
ties near the Rumanian border
and rumors of a Russian adj
vance on the Rumanian prov
ince of Bessarabia.
Normally Bucharest is so gay that
it has long worn the sobriquet, "The
Little Paris of the Balkans" Also
to remind the visitor of the French
capital, one of its important thor
oughfares, the Chaussee Sosea, is
nicknamed the Little Champs Ely
Sees" 1t passes under an "Arc de
Triomphe," built for the coronation
of the late King Ferdinand and
Queen Marie.
On the Chaussee, lined with pa
latial residences, fine churches and
government buildings, in peace
times grave countenance seems
out of place. But this portion of
the city has no monopoly of care
free good nature; for the neighbor-
hoods of the humblest Bucharest
homes in the cobbled byways of the
poorer sections, and in the gypsy
quarter, are filed with smiling chat
tering parents and playing children.
The food vendors with baskets of
ducks and chickens swinging to each
end of long pole, vendors of sweet
meats and flowers, and even some of
the beggars, impress the traveller as
a cheerful lot.
Many Modern Shops.
Shops as modern as can be found
in most of the capitals of the world
line Bucharest's streets, and behind
their plate glass windows the Amer
lean traveller finds such familiar ar
ticles as American-made flashlights,
radios, monographs, and automo-
biles. But one does not have to

HERE'S Why grim ,Uar tension

once property of Russia.
peer into a window to discover the
latest automobile models from De-
troit. Many of them move up and
down the city's streets adding to
the usual modern traffic problem of
a large metropolis.
Visitors do not have to leave the
city to get glimpses of rural folk,
for the Bucharest market is the
gathering place for hundreds of
country women who would add color
to any city's sights. Here the cos
tunes of the men are not distinc-
tive; most of them wear European
coats and trousers, though many
cover their heads with fez-shaped
wooden hats. On the other hand, the
women blaze forth in rainbow-hued
shawls draped over their heads and
shoulders. Their skirts are just short
enough to reveal, in the summer,
that all feet in Rumania are not
shod.
Back of all the gaiety and the re-
gal pomp of the city, there is the
work-a-day Bucharest, where a
broad cross-section of its 650,000
people make their living in indus
tries producing soap, cement, nails,
machinery, wire, paper, starch, tex
tiles, leather goods, pearl buttons
and vegetable oils.

RUSSIA:
Finnish Sandy Hook

Said Finland's Foreign Minister
Elias Errko to a U. S. newspaper
man: 81 believe there is a place
called Sandy Hook outside New York
harbor. How would you like to hand
that over to some foreign country?"
This, he indicated, was the reason
Finland refused Russia's demand
for a naval base on Finnish territory
at the entrance to the Gulf of Fin
land. There were also reports that
Finnish-Russian conferees meeting
in Moscow were having trouble re-
vising the southern border between
the two countries on the Karelian
isthmus. After several days of this,
during which the Soviet press
warned that Russia would "find
ways and means of obtaining what
ever we need" Foreign Minister
Errko suddenly announced the nego-
tiations had definitely ended. Europe
wondered what would come next for
the Russian bear was obviously out
of sorts. -.. ....

priation for sea forces, Illinois Rep.
Ralph E. Church suggested that the
navy department should be reorgan-
lied: "Our committee (house naval
affairs) has been unable to find out,
at times, who's responsible for what.
We had secretary of the navy
(Swanson) who was unable to be at
his office and then we had an
acting but not duly confirmed Sec
rotary (Edison)."

AS Nature Dictates

Nature will give unto us without
stint, but in return she demands
that we study her precepts and
abide by her dictates. A hundred
cows in a meadow meant for only
so spells disaster-a bit of wis
dom with which every farmer is
thoroughly familiar. A million
people gathered together in one
spot where there should be only
100000 causes congestion, poverty
and unnecessary suffering.-Hen-

EUROPE:
Dutch Episode
"Clueck muss der Mensch haben.'

'Clueck muss der Mensch haben."
"a fellow has to have luck" COM
mented Adolf Hitler when he es-
capped the Munich beer hall explo-
sion by 20 minutes. But the allies
wondered if it was luck. So hysteri-
cal were the Nazi cries of British
conspiracy that many an observer
on the opposite side of the fence
called it a cunning plan-like the
1888 Reichstag fire-to weld German
opinion. In Britain, where anti-Com-
munist Nazis were blamed for the
incident, Hitler's yells served only to
unite the empire in its vow to ''free
Europe"
ANY hope for peace went dwin-
ding when Winston Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, made the
most vitriolic attack on record: 81
will not attempt to prophesy wheth-
er the frenzy of a cornered maniac
win drive Herr Hitler into the worst
of all his crimes but I will say with
out doubt that the fate of Holland
