Note Discovered in Gun Cartridge
Placed There Just e Years AGO

For many years the cartridge,
fitted with regulation bullet. had
been a trinket in the home of r. II.
Dryden at Rt. 4, Box 343, near
Midland.
II Just laid around the house
The puncture in the cartridge cap
indicated it had been fired; it was
light. and nobody thought OF it as
dangerous-just a memento of the
war days. How 1t got into the
family gadgets had been lost in
obscurity; maybe some aunt or
cousin had known Sgt. Smith, or
had found the cartridge some place.
In any event, Earl Dryden, II,
let curiosity get the better of him
a few days ago. He pulled at the
bullet and out it came, revealing
an apparently empty interior. Yet
something ratified a little and Ear
extracted a tightly folded bit Of
coarse paper. On it in ink was
written this memorandum:
Camp Lewis. Nov. 80, 1917.
Following Thanksgiving spent in
Seattle. shot this shell at Officers
Training school on machine gun.
Shot by Colt automatic machine
gun, type used in France. Bullet
taken from another shell on rifle
range at Camp Lewis, Tacoma,
Wash"
On the reverse side in the same
handwriting was the signature
Sergeant c. A. Smith, Ordnance
Dept"
No one in the Dryden family
knows Sgt. Smith or what became
of him.

THE glorious, the colorful,
i the thrilling Golden Gate
international Exposition is
gone. BUT one of its most worth
while features goes marching
on-for the permanent benefit
of the public. Henceforth the
three-story rotunda of the Min
ing and MetaIlurgy Building At
the University of California will
house the petroleum exhibit.
This exhibit represents the
combined ingenuity of IS oil
companies in creating the work
ing model of an industry. IL
has been so organized that the
whole world might see how the

from . drill-rig to q workable
sehnery-built to scale of trans
parent materials-has been made
scientifically exact.

scientific qualities will be an
aid to scientific study, for the

sihc achievement in the oil in

This unique and invaluable

Heat, Exercise, Rest
Are Aids in Arthritis.

The fact that there is no specific
medicine or operation which viii cure
arthritis is no reason for arthritis suf-
ferers to resign themselves to pain and
disability.
Reinsurance as to the effectiveness
Of the carefully supervised use of rest,
heat and exercise in the patients own
home is given in the final bulletin
issued today in the March series of
bulletins on rheumatic fever and arth-
ritis prepared by the Minnesota State
Medical Associations committee on
public health education.
Rest is a treatment of first import
ance, the doctors say. A basic minimum
Of ten hours in bed at night and one
hour of rest morning and afternoon is
usually required. Exercise is important
too, though it should never be aimless
nor repeated until the joints are
irTitated. Definite exercises should be
prescribed and carried out each day
under a physicians orders.
Heat can be applied at home, also,
according to the bulletin, by means of
hot baths in the patients own tub
and by simply constructed electric
bakers which any tinsmith can make
at trifling cost. Where electricity is
not available, warm paraffin heated in
a double boiler and applied alternately
with bandages on the affected Joint
will provide heat for an hour or more
plus good splint that can be kept
on. if prescribed, for a longer period
Massage is useful too and can be
learned by home attendants but should
only be used lightly and under direction.
Many deformitieS develop because the
patient is allowed to sit or stand or
lie in bed improperly, the doctors say.
Knees that have been bent to allow a
pillow beneath them do not straighten
out after the pain and Inflammation
are over. Proper splints or supports,
If they are needed, good posture, a bed
that does not sag, and properly fitted
shoes aid in preventing dreaded de-
formities.

sented a skit in which one of their

Ely to Get Last Chance
at Recreational Program,

Nineteen local organizations and
representatives of the school board and
city council have been invited to at
tend meeting, Friday, to consider what
steps should be taken to maintain a
WPA recreational program here. It
will be held in the Community Center
at 7:30 p. m.
Called by John Smrekar, chairman Of
the recreational committee Of the Ely
Commercial club, the discussion will
have as its primary purpose the for
nation Of a planning committee that
will guide the program and secure fac
ilities to make it possible
Ely is one OF the few cities on the
range that does not have such a group,
Smrekar states. Attempts to organize
one in the past have been unsuccessful,
and unless one is formed now the WPA
will write fms on recreational work
here
Four or five Ely people have been
lined up by WPA regional officials who
would be eligible for assignment to the
project, providing the committee is
formed and proper facilities secured.
If they are not then Ely will be marked
off the list
An attempt will be made to secure
room in the Community Center. In
the past, use of the building for recre-
ational purposes has been fatty refused.
This unavailability Of facilities has been
the main reason that no full-f1edged
recereational program, similar to those
carried on in other range cities, has
