was on second, started for third and
Barney for second. In the lodging
that followed, Banks was put out to end
the game
Spotting Nashwauk four runs in the
initial inning, Vertnik held them to 7
scattered blows for the next y to take
a well-deserved victory. With the score
go against them in the ninth, Ely
pushed over runs on three consecu-
tive doubles and a single to tie the
count.
The winning run came in the 18th

Novak poled out double giving Ely

Urge Defense Workers
Not to TraUeL for job.

Minnesotans seeking employment in
defense program industries are advised
against blind migrations to other states
by Victor Christgau, director of the
division of Employment and Security
He urges an early registration at any
Office of the division as being prefer
able.
I'VE have just received word from
the Michigan Employment Service" he
said, that many persons from other
states are going to Detroit in the hope
of finding work in defense industries
there. Michigan authorities already
have more tnan 267,000 registered resi-
dents who are waiting for a job.
There is an abundant supply OF local
workers to meet any immediate demand
that Michigan employers may make.
Workers from other states who travel
there are doomed to disappointment "
Similar employment conditions exist
in defense industries on both the East
and the West coasts, Mr.. Christgau
said in advising Minnesota workers
who are qualified to register locally.
In the event additional workers are
needed in other states" he explained,
"the fact will be officially made known
to US and then cur Division will be able
to direct registered workers to firms
that actually will put them to work
This plan will prevent the disorganized
migration that marked the industrial
expansion during the first World War
Workers now can save the expense and
loss of time that is inevitable if they
move about in response to rumors of
work at distant points"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Pigeon Carried News of Oympcs

Twenty-three hundred years ago,
the ancient Greeks used to gather at
Olympia in Central Greece. At this
place they took part in races ana
other contests. The winner in each
event was given high honor.
Thousands of relatives and friends
of the athletes gathered at Olympia
to watch them. Yet there were
some who could not make the long
trip, and waited at home for the
news.
Since there was no telegraph,
telephone or other quick service,
news Of winners was slow to travel.
One Of the athletes, who had the
name of Taurosthenes, thought OF
plan to speed up the news.
"If win" he said to his father.
"I will set loose pigeon with
feathers stained purple. When the
pigeon comes, you will know the
good news"
We are told that the pigeon
reached the father on the same day
his son won victory.
That is the first case on record of
a pigeon taking news from one
place to another. Since that time,
these birds have been used for the
purpose many times. Pigeons which
carry messages have the special
name Of "homing pigeons"

A leading columnist confesses that
he is stumped by the reader query:
People always say a herd of cattle
and a flock of sheep but what is
the collective noun for a flock of
pigs?"
Strictly speaking, pigs are the
young of hogs and come in litters.
One should say "a sounder of hogs;
herd of swine"
Other similar and as little known
collective nouns are: A sleuth of
bears. A swarm of bees. A herd or
bunch of cattle. A flight of doves.
A herd of elephants. A gang of elk.
A plump of wild fowl. A school of

to the contrary, it is taken as a substantial fact that the Japan ese aim in China is the dispbace- ment of foreign interests.
 Another prospect is that the Japanese will employ different methods in China, even if their objective is not changed. The domestic discomfort in Japan, to- gether with such pressure as the United States may apply during it's negotiations for new treaty to replace the one We are end ing, could easily awaken Japan to the need of a change of meth odS.
 Some Methods"
 The objectional methods" as outlined by American observers, include:
 First: Army authorities in China act as if Japan were al- ready sovereign there, even though they claim they have no plans for a permanent conquest.
 Second: Japan has substituted a flat currency of her own in China advantageous to herself but potentially harmful to for eign traders, who can never be certain from one day to the next that it will be worth anything,
 Third; Exchange is manipulat- ed to the advantage of the Jap aneSe.
 Fourth: Japanese trade monop olies, or virtual monopolies, are fostered as military necessities. .
 Fifth: Civilians are abused by army authorities.
 , Sixth: Americans deny there IS any military necessity for the noisome barricadeS such as are enforced in such points as Tientsin. Their purpose, as view ed here, is simply to humiliate foreigners in line with the ul- innate purpose of ridding China of them.

The Washington
 Daybook
By Preston Grover

WASHINGTON - To under stand the recurring shakeups in the Japanese government, keep these factors in mind;
 At the beginning of the "in- cident in China, Japanese leaders confidently predicted the show would be over in six months. In stead it is running past the mid dle of the third year.
 In those three years every Jap anese has had to work harder, and now all are getting less for their work than when this con- quest of great Chinese resources started.
 A half million Japanese have been killed or wounded. A mil lion more are in the field. In a constant stream they move from their homes; often nothing comes back but ashes of the dead.
 Domestic discontent with the situation has caused cabinet af- ter cabinet to fall. Yet each new cabinet finds exactly the same old problems that caused the fall of the last. They must raise more and more money to conduct a war in China. And the war looks less and less like victory.
 The Army Rules
 Nobody in Japan or America is fooled when the Japanese Army ieadersip claims it is not the mo- tive power behind the govern ment. Nevertheless, army author ities go through the motion of keeping the army from assuming active leadership of the cabinet. General Nobuyuki Abe, retiring premier, was not on the army ac- tive list. And in his place was appointed Admiral Yonai of the navy.
 Washington observers found that was significant because the army must operate through a navy premier. and the navy in Japan traditionally has pursued a broader policy than the army.
 And how may the cabinet shaka-up affect U. S.-Japanese re lstioas?
 It is remotely possible the gov ernment shakaup, coming as it does on the heels of several re- cent similar shakeups, may be the turning point toward a shift il2 the Japanese objective in China. Despite Japanese protests
