new ADDRESS.
new LICENSE
Change of Address Invalidates
Drivers License, State
Highway Dept. Says.

Ely residents, who have changed
their address without renewing their
drivers licenses within Is days there
after, are unwittingly driving without
valid drivers licenses, the state high
way department warns A checkup is
now under way throughout the entire
state to have such licenses renewed.
Both the drivers license bureau and
highway patrol are cooperating in the
drive, and the cooperation of local
traffic and law enforcement officials is
being sought, especially in larger cities
where transfer and moving companies
estimate that more than 10000 persons
have recently changed their residences.
A license renewal is required within
Is days after any change of address.
Elden Rowe, chief of the highway
patrol, has instructed all patrolmen
to give special attention to checking
drivers licenses and report all i'm
proper licenses, SO that those who may
have overlooked obtaining valid dupli-
Gates will be reminded to do so before
such omission causes them more seri-
GUS difficulty.
E. P. Lee, in charge Of the drivers
license division of the highway depart
ment, estimates, of the May movers"
at least 10000 are drivers. Only 2,71O
duplicate licenses have been obtained
since May l so he concludes that at
least 1880 licenses now are invalid
From Jan. to May the Highway de-
partment issued 1880 new licenses and
30,753 duplicates.

Greatest Hazard Facing
Youth is tuberculosis

Considered the most difficult assign
ment of health officials in the nation
today is to protect the health of Adde'S
cent boys and girls
The reason: They are impatient of
restraint.
They look upon themselves as big
enough and strong enough to take it,
which they are not.
One of the greatest hazards between
them and that healthy maturity is
tuberculosis. No need here to repeat
the melancholy facts that youngsters
in their teens are most susceptible to
the infection, and that girls are more
likely to fall victim to the disease than
boys.
These are opinions expressed by St.
Louis County health officers and leaders
of the tuberculosis and Health Associ-
opinions also have come from

FOOD STAMP
PLAN 0kAYED
Expect Meeting to be Held in
Ely Soon to Explain Plan
to Local Merchants.

Harry j. KeSSler, secretary of tn
Duluth Grocers and Meat Dealers as
sociation, headed party of Duluth
men who were in Ely, Saturday, con
corning the establishment of the fedora
food stamp plan here.
The plan was recently approved fo
st. Louis county and it is expected
that it will be put into operation some
time next month. 1t is believed thai
it will be established first in Duluth
and then on the range.
Kessler did not know the exact date
for instigating the plan because of the
details involved in working it out, but
he said that Ely would be among the
first to receive it.
Meetings will be called to explain
the plan to merchants and it is ex-
pected that one will be held in Ely
soon. An educational program will
also be carried on for persons eligible
to participate in the plan.
The idea behind the plan is to pro-
vide way of distributing food to the
needy and Kidding the market of sur
plus food commodities which are prov
ing burdensome to producers The plan
allows persons who receive public as
siStance to buy ST in orange stamps
each week for each member of the
family. These orange stamps can be
used for the purchase of any food
product, through regular retail food
stores, that is to be eaten at home,
with the exception that purchases of
wines, liquors and tobaccos are pro-
hibited.
With every 81 in orange stamps pur-
chased, the reliefer is given so cents
in blue stamps which can be used only
for the purchase of federal government
designated surplus food stamps, both
orange and blue, through the local re-
lief Office.
The surplus commodities which could
be purchased with the blue stamps at
the present time include butter, eggs,
pork, pork lard, oranges, grapefruit,
all flour, cornmeal, rice, raisins, hominy
grits, fresh apples, fresh pears, dried
beans and dried prunes.
E. F. j. Reilly, senior administra-
tive officer, and w. S. Fay, junior pro-
gram organizer, are working through
the county to establish the system. st.
Louis county, with it's combination of
mining, manufacturing, shipping and
agricultural industries, comprises one
of the great areas of the country where
the operation of the food stamp plan
has been attempted.
In all about $4,000 persons receiving
public assistance in the county are
eligible to participate in the plan, A.
j. Erchul, executive secretary of the
county welfare board, states Part of
this number will have it's standard of
living raised as much as so per cent.
Direct relief orders will be eliminated,
allowing persons receiving this type of
aid to purchase any article in the
grocer'S store rather than restricting
him to about go out of a possible num-
Der 10 times as large as at present
1t will provide marked increase in
the food allowances for reliefers, and
will boost business for both wholesalers
and retailers who will handle the dis
tribution of surplus commodities.

is the largest single area to be ap-

Color to Fore
In Sports Wear

It's in sport garments that color
comes to the fore, and it's well to
be able to recognize a color by its
name, when shopping for coat or
suit. Oatmeal is, of course, one
of the new cereal tones, playing a
neutral part in spring affairs.
Rose tones and atmospheric blues
give wardrohes a heavenly look,
while gold shines through in NUT
ed tones-particularly in more
casual coats. Black and white
mixtures, grey. navy and black
will also be oil the sidelines this
spring.
There Is more limitation to col
ors in the really dressy coats and
suits, with navy and black SO far
in the lead, that grey, blue and
beige follow somewhat In a rear
position.
No one can mention coats and
suits this spring-sport or dressy
without thinking of buttons and
pockets! They're all over these
new-season garments, giving
very gay air to what you'll wear
this spring.

Plenty Color
In Men S Wear
Accessories. Too.
Will Accent Tones

Colors In mems apparel during
1910 will take the form Of mix
ture. blends and off-shades in fs-
brics. This means that mems ac-
cessories belts. braces, neck
wear and hosiery should reflect
either the dominating shade or
the accent colors or the fabrics
themselves.
For example, grey suit with
blue stripe can be successfully and
cleverly harmonized with accessor-
les of either grey, matching the
basic ground shades). or blue, con-
trasting with the basic fabric color
and hsrmonizing with the accent
color of the fabric.
The fashion horizon is strongly
striped. That IL to say that in
every classification of fabrics and
accessories. stripes lead by a very
wide margin. More and more men
are learning that their natural
conservatism can be served by
wearing clothing that is relatively
subdued in nature and that the
fashion trend toward color can be
catered to in dignigied manner
by the addition to their wardrobe
Of colorful accessories.

Jackets Go to
Coat Lengths

Jacket frocks are everywhere
this spring-holding the key place
in every dress shop and depart
ment. Whether the jacket is long
or short, fitted or casual, matching
or contrasting with the dress, is a
matter of individual preference.
But that at least one costume suit
must be in every woman's ward
robe is fashions irrefutable COM
mand for 1910.
Easy to find this season, at all
prices, costume suits offer a wide
choice. Fitted types combine
matching silk or rayon prints with
lightweight woolens, or solid color
silk or rayon with wooden. In more
high fashion styles, coats are lined
with the lighter weight dress
fabric.
Various tricks are played with
buttons, and pockets do a flatter-
ing job of exterior decorating! At
the bosom, at the hips of jackets,
topping skirts :. pockets are in
bloom.
The woman who doesn't find
flattery in fitted jacket silhou-
cite. will have boxy topcost styles
to select from in costume suits in
her size. while the briefest version
is the bolero jacket, tailored to soft
effect.

we hear any artillery. Here
the artillery is bombers, for the
roads are too bad to bring up
heavy guns, and If they could
be brought up, they could not be
supplied with ammunition. So.
In this end of the world, the
detectives are marked on aeriel
maps, and the shells dropped
from under the wings OF planes.
We can see with our first
look around that this war above
the circle is a war of move
ment. for this platoon is only
now digging init cannot have
been here more than three days.
There are half dozen bomb
shelters, rough caves hastily
scooped out of the hillside with
ehovels and not yet timbered.
A hit even ten yards away
would smother you under .
couple of cubic yards.
l don't like it, and ! ask II
maybe a lot OF short, shallow,
coffin-like trenches. each just
long enough and deep enough
to protect the sides OF a man
lying down. would not be easier
to build and safer than the
caves. Perhaps. says the lieu
tenant, only the man could
then be seen from the air, and
the Russians would know that
the men were there and how
many there were. In the caves
they cannot be seen.
But he takes US around the
hill TO where they are putting
layers OF logs over a very fine
deep dugout. which will hold
almost the entire platoon. This
should be done by tomorrow. He
says dirt will be shoveled over
the logs and snow over this,
and then all can be safe.
From far down the hill there
is a shout. An observation post
twenty miles away reports, over
a field telephone. that the bomb
ers are coming over from Rus
STA. Two hundred miles an hour
in ten minutes they'll be here,
50 run for the dugouts!
When they come over not a
moving thing must be seen from
the sir-the hill must be as still

and come out of cleansing like
new!
In both suits and coats neck
lines offer lot that's new in the
way of hattering detail. Trim
necklines sprout tiny wings. revers
work into yoke lines. and gradual
ed tuxedo rolls copy the mems
shawl collar line. collariess gar
ments never look bare-when ac-
cessorized with colorful scarfs or
the luxury touch of fur.
Sleeves know no limitations, and
the mandarin line is the favorite
OF all. its straight line narrowing
slightly toward the wrist. The
dressiest coats have loosely draped
upperarm construction, tapering to
a straight wrist.
It's shoulder arms for spring
and although shoulders are simple,
they are made shapely by means
Of darts, tucks or soft folds; while
the military effect is gained with
epaulet tabs. scroll applique, and
occasionally dramatic chest flanges
that jut up high around the Shout
ders.

What Is spring without a suit ,
Certainly the American designer
plays the full gamut OF suit styles.
The man tailored suit Of hard
twisted worsted with slightly long,
err jacket has a brand new look
this season, while skirts are more
slimly cut and have kick pleats at
the side for high steppers.
Wmsted herringbone and CAB
ardine are the favored fabrics In
monotone or with chalk stripes.
No longer severely tailored, they
are now feminized with frilly
blouses. lapel ornaments and pastel
hats in keeping with the suits
softer detail.
Most flattering Is the soft suit
with swing skirt. The short, snug
fitting jacket has braid bound
edges and pockets, and is seen In
black and navy. Worsted twin is
another favorite fabric, found in
variations Of weaves to please the
most selective.
Also on the feminine side, are
casual suits of soft basket-weave
woods in pastel shades. High but
toned jackets, rather wide revers,
softly padded shoulders. and gored
skirts distinguish them.
Suits Are Traditional
With such a wealth OF suits to
select from, buying IL just a mat
ter Of making decision on
which 1t shall be.
Suit or not suit, the separate
coat Is still a must have" for the
spring wardrobe. In coats. REFERS
express the fitted silhouette. while
swaggers interpret the casual sill
houette. Twilled worsteds and
basket weave woolens are smart
preferences In black. navy, gray,
beige and dusty pastel shades.
The REFER generally has frosty
white pique collars. and takes to
buttons of white pearl, which may
be as large as a half dollar. A
smart version of the softer type
Of REFER has a collarless neckline,
slim pin-tucked waistline amusing
ly fastened with hooks and eyes
plain to see! Refer coats invaria-
bly, swing up to show the splash
ing color of the dresses beneath
them. and can be worn with the
most tailored as well as the most
dressy frocks.
The very casual sport coat of
herring bone tweed will be most
popular this spring in beige and
other cereal colors, whether II Is
self trimmed or softly furred.
For Sport--For Dress
Worsted Is the well liked fabric
in dressier coats because of its
sheer construction and lightweight
texture. 1t rarely requires press
ing, as it's one fabric that quickly
sheds wrinkles.
Other woolens represented in
becoming Spring suits and coats
include those made OF naphthalat-
ed wool which give excellent wear
