as a play-caller.. He served warning to Boston and Brooklyn-and indi- rectly to the rest Of the laagtle-in the Bees opening game that he was still boss and still infallible.
 Lippy Leo Durccher, the Brock lyn manager and guy quick to challenge the umps, and Babe Phelps, the Dodgers catcher, gave Bill the works over a decision against Brooklyn. So Bill drew the line-and neither crossed it. (Phelps made the mistake of indulging in a bit Of tongue -wagging afterwards and got thumbed to the showers).
 Started Long Ago
 As Bill recalls it here's how he started drawing that line:
 It was back in Milwaukee around the turn of the century when Klem was umpiring in the American Asso- citation. He had earned the reputa- tion of being an official who was hard to argue with. Around the league. though, players were saying:
 "So you're tough, huh? Well, there's a guy in Milwaukee you VOL t stop. Wait til you get there!"
 Finally Bill drew Milwaukee as- lsignnent He cannot recall the name of the alleged tough. player but re- members that along about the fourth inning he called a Minneapolis play CT safe at second Scarcely had Klem gestured safe" and started back to the plate than the tough center fielder came running in, yelling: What, what?"
 As Bill passed the pitchers mound he suddenly stopped and. without turning around, drew line through the dust with bis spiked shoe.
 Tt was the most automatic thing I've ever done he explained. Even if it was the first time I don't know why I did it, just an instictive move. I guess. Anyway, got to the plate, looked around and there was the out fielder, his toes right on the line and still yelling. I didn't even look at him, just went on with the game. And damned if he didn't turn around and go back to his position.
 Klem has been drawing the line ever since.
 It has long been Bills boast that he never called one wrong.
 But, Bill" sports writers often insist, isn't it possible that you might have callsd one wrong?'
 No, Bill always replies, T have never missed one"
 But" the writers persist, Don't you think that in some one of the many games you have worked you might have erred in one decision?"
 Never Missed One Here

IT'S HARD WORK, TOO

Parents actually must work to make
themselves dispensable instead of in
dispensable."
This statement in Baber's valuable
book on Marriage and the Family" is
arreSting Most of us take it for
granted, I believe, that we are indis-
pensable as, indeed we are while child
rem are little-and seldom stop to
think about the results of continuing
under this assumption.
Why does Dr.. Baber make this state
ment?
Well, a parent who considers himself
| indispensable to his children'S welfare
is very probably failing to give certain
kinds Of training that will help the
children to attain their full stature
Such mother may continue to "fuss"
over her children to such an extent that
they form the impression that they are
important enough to warrant expecting
a good deal of help and attention from
people in general. They are likely to
meet some pretty hard situations if
they expect, in business and professional
relations, the same degree of consider
alton they've had at home. A girl who
continually complains to the rest of the
office force where she works about
every ache and pain will soon have no
listeners, and will end up with the
mistaken feeling that she's abused
Again, parent who is not actually
trying to be oispensable goes on making
decisions for her children, telling them
what to do and when to do it, long
after they are capable of thinking
things out for themselves. The time
is sure to come when important de-
cisions will have to be made with no
mother or father present to take the
responsibility. Will such untried judg-
ment be worth much?
A child who has come to rely on his
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-10-17

parents too much is likely to waste a
lot of time trying to organize his life
when he's out from under parental
supervision If he hasn't had expert
ence in buying for himself, in arrang-
ing his time schedule economically, in
selecting types of recreation, he may
find himself dizzy under the strain of
having too many things to learn all
at once.
Last of all, parent who doesn't try
to be dispensable may find that his
children have become so devoted that
they are always looking in their mar
riage partners, for reSemblanceS to the
mother or father that they love so well
A girl whose father has dropped every
thing in order to see that she was
never without a means of tranSporta-
ton to clubs and parties may pout and
sulk when her husband refuses to take
time off from an important piece of
work to drive her to bridge party. A
boy whose mother has catered to his
every food whim may feel terribly dis
appointed when his wife takes for
granted that he'll eat the vegetables
that happen to be cheapest and most
plentiful, instead of cooking his fav-
orite dish over and over.
It's a stern kind of Self-disipline, to
try deliberately to be "diSpensable, but
the greater self reliance of our child
rem if we gradually manage it should
make it well worth our while.

Never Expose Young
Children to Measles

People used to say, ooh, he might as
well have them and get it over with,
when the youngsters of the family were
exposed to measles.
The babies were allowed to mingle
freely with the afflicted member of
the family and il the baby had a
harder time of it than his older sisters
or brothers, why so much the worse
but what could one do about it?
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical associations committee on
public health education outline two
things that parents and guardians can
do about it in a bulletin issued on the
subject Of measles today.
First they can put the measles
patient to bed in a room by himself, "
the doctors say. They can keep the
younger members Of the family away
from anything he touches.
Second they can make every effort
to put off exposure to measles or any
of the so-called children'S diseases as
long as possible because the greatest
danger from these diseases is reserved
for the babies and young children.
Older children stand them better and
come out of them more often without
serious after effects"
To carry out the first recommended
ton may be inconvenient, the doctors
acknowledge. 1t may require constant
watching for a few days and consider
able extra household work to see that
all articles used in the sick room are
washed thoroughly before any other
children in the house are allowed to
touch them. The reward is the pro-
lection of young children from dis
ease that killed 400 of them in Min
nesota in the last ten years.
In order to carry out the second
recommendation it is necessary to be
suspicious of every common cold, since
measles usually begins with what ap-
pears to be cold. Sniffers should be
kept away from young children.
The doctors further point out that
the severity of an attack of measles may
be modified in some cases by admins
tering convalescent serum during the
few days that intervene between the
time the ch;.d comes down with the
disease. This type of protection has
been used very successfully in many
instances.

Tigers and Coach Banks rushed onto
the field to see what the ruling would
be. After a conference, the officials
ruled it no down, left the ball where it
had stopped, and gave Ely another
chance at first down. Perko was good
for a yard to make it first and goal
to go. Then Grahek turned in his
sensational sprint to score.
The Tigers touchdown came as a
result of a blocked Ely punt late in
the first half. Captain Edward Ober-
star caught the arching pikskin and
raced 35 yeards unmolested. 1t CHM
axed half during which Ely's play at
times was listless, with blocking far
below par. Half dozen Tigers
swarmed in on Stukel as he attempted
to punt, and he didn't have chance
to get the ball away.
When the Iron Men came back for
the second half, however they were
all wool and yard wide. They meant
business, and the 108 yards they gained
from rushing and 25 from a long pass
to Eveleth's total of 48 from rushing
illustrates the advantage they held
over the Tigers. The Iron Men piled
up nine first downs to 2 for the visi-
tors, and intercepted three Tiger passes
Both teams absorbed lot of punish
ment, but the beating that the Ely
backs took was terrific. Grahek, who
takes off in 10-second-flat style, was
on the receiving end of all kinds of
trouble, and reinjured a nose that was
hurt in the Itasca game. Even Big
Boy Ed Klun succumbed to the pound
ing, and was laid out for a couple of
minutes as he and Perko smashed into
each other as the latter intercepted
Cossalter's pass at the start of the
fourth period.
Starting at end were Frank Povhe
and Dan Mestnik; at tackle, Klun and
John zaic; at guard, Peter Handberg
and Stukel. who acted as captain; al
center, William Mills; at quarterback
Bob Hall; at half, Grahek and Banks
and at full Perko. Helmer Lepisto
Ellwood Lindholm, and William Lampi
saw service in the line. Coach Malevich

COUNTY BUDGET
WORK TO START
Cut in Budget Dependent on
Request of Welfare Board,
Says Commissioner.

Any cut in the budget for ST. Louis
county for 1871 can be made only if
the welfare board asks for less funds.
Jacob L. Pete, Fourth district COM
missioner, told The Miner. Considera-
ton of the budget is expected to start
at the next regular meeting scheduled
for Tuesday.
Pete, who said that he expected con-
siderable pressure to be brought on
the county board to trim its budget,
pointed out that the size of the well
fare boards request would depend upon
how many men on the relief rolls had
been absorbed by industry in the county.
Even if the county budget is trimmed.
Pete questioned how much the mill rate
would be reduced, because of the low
cred mineral valuations All this will
be threshed out at the budget sessions
The already hard-presSed road and
bridge funds, he continued, can be
lowered only at the sacrifice of main
tenance and construction projects that
should be carried on. Relief costs.
which the county is obliged to absorb
when people require assistance, are
taking so large portion of the county
money that it has been difficult to
carry on an adequate maintenance and
building program, he said
An attempt recently on the part OF
Pete to have able bodied reliefers work
out their allotments ON county high
ways was taken under consideration
by the county board, and will probably
be up again for discussion at the bud
get sessions.

i have had more or less trouble with
the wintering of my young evergreens.
Can it be that the dry fall weather of
recent years is the cause of the losses?
Yes, this is very likely. A long, deep
drink of water for your evergreens in
the fall may save winter-killing during
the long Minnesota winters. 1t is prob
ably water rather than cold that causes
evergreenS to turn brown. When the
sun shines in winter the evergreen
needles need moisture to replace that
lost by evaporation. When the ground
is frozen, the roots in the frozen area
are unable to draw this moisture from
the soil. Subjected for some time to
such conditions, the needles will turn
brown and die.-Parker Anderson, ex--
tension forester.
How can a frosty, wet floor in a
poultry house be made dry?
If the floor was not properly laid
in the first place, there is very little
to be done except rebuild the floor.
If, however, the present floor comes
well above ground level, with porous
fill beneath, the trouble is probably the
rest of the house. Check ventilation
and insulation and improve these first
so that your poultry house does not
gather excessive moisture.-Cora Cooke,
extension poultry specialist.
What size paper is used by writer's
in preparing manuscripts for pub
fishers?
Most publishers prefer manuscripts of
standard 81 XII typewriting paper,
double spaced with ample margins and
a little extra space at the top of the
first sheet. While some publishing
firms, especially newspapers, instruct
their writer's to use special manu-
script form, the free lance writer had
best stick to the standard typewriter
sheet-Paul c. Johnson, extension pub
licity.
What is the correct temperature for
hen house? Do you recommend
heating with a stove?
The exact temperature is not i'm
portant, but it should be kept above
freezing. The important thing is to
avoid sudden changes of temperature
This is best accomplished by good in
sulation in the walls and avoidance OF
drafts. 1 wouldn't resort to artificial
heating if it can possibly be avoided

Should a cake be cooled before it is
taken out of the pan?
If a butter cake is inverted before il
stops steaming, it is very likely tc
break as it is removed from the pan
Let it stand at least minutes, and e
minutes is not too long. A practical
method is to start your frosting wher
the cake comes out of the oven. When
the frosting is ready to spread the
cake will be ready for removal. Ange
food or sponge cakes should COO
thoroughly in the inverted pan.-Ins

Iron Men Down Tigers to
Stay in Conference Race

CLIO count Hibbing piled up against
Duluth wouldn't mean a thing when
next Saturday arrived, and reminded
them of the Go advantage Eveleth held
at the end of the first half of last
weeks game.
Going into the second half on the
short end of the score, Ely smashed
the game out of the fire, but not until
most of the people present had en-
viSioned repetition of the drubbing
diShed out to the Elyites at Eveleth
a year ago which cost the former a
share in the NJCC title with Virginia.
Because of that 1876 setback a year
ago, the win this year was especially
sweet.
After listening to some well chosen
words from Coach Banks at half time,
the Iron Men took the Eveleth kickoff
from the Ely 22-yard line and marched
Is yards in IA plays to score. In
smashing off-tackle plays, end sweeps
and reverses, Joe Perko, Willie Grahek
and Al Banks alternated at the ball
Juggling job, with Perko going over from
yard out.
Grahek, who played the best game
of his life, reeled off runs of Is and II
yards, and Perko turned in bone

couple of yards were needed for first
down.

With the final period three-quarters
gone, Grahek went around left end or
a wide sweep to go over from the s.
yard line without an Eveleth man sc
much as touching him. Behind some
excellent interference, Grahek sprintec
to the side lines and then cut in like
a hound-chased deer to out-run hall
a dozen tacklers, crossing the goal line
standing up. Perko's place kick for the
extra point Was blocked.
The Tigers, foreseeing their first de.
feat of the season, took to the air, but
their attempts to score backfired a.
Perko and Banks intercepted passes
Banks gobbled up the Tigers last des-
perate heave with about minute tt
go, and the gun sounded with Ely or
the Eveleth Al.
Perko's interception of an attempted
pass by Halfback Cossalter rushed by
half a dozen Elyites as the fourth
quarter started, paved the way for the
Iron Mems final 6 points. Grahek anl
