'JAYSEES take
final CONTEST
Wind Up Season by Defeating
Duluth; Loushin Scores
Winning Basket.

The Ely Junior College took its final
basketball Of the season from Duluth,
80 10 81, in a type Of game reminiscent
Of four that ended, however, in de-
feats.
Playing on the Duluth floor, Coach
Barney Banks club took the game by
two-point margin as William Joushin,
guard broke a Stall deadlock with Z
basket in the final minute Ely dropped
three games this year by margins
identical 10 the Duluth Win and a
fourth was lost by one point. Victories
IN conference competition were scored
twice over Duluth and two on-league
tits were registered over Northland
college Of Ashland, Wis.
Coming into the final period with
the count motted at 81 all, the two
clubs fought even up until Loushin
slipped in the winning basket Just be-
fore the game ended Ely had sported
a p TO l9 lead at the half, and during
the first quarter had gotten away to
a l2-0 advantage before the Blue
jays counted.
Ability at the free throw line was
the deciding factor in Ely's win. Du-
luIh scored two more baskets than the
Vermilion range club, but Ely sank
charity losses 10 for the Blue
jays Joe Novak and Al Banks, for
wards, and Torsti Franti, center, tied
for scoring honors, each having 10
points.

Rheumatic FeUer is Craze
Public Health Menace.

The school child Of 10 has three
times as many chances Of dying OF
rheumatic heart disease as Of tubercul-
oSis, and for each death there are from
10 to u little patients who viii never
fully recover from the disease as long
as they live
The fact that rheumatic fever IS thus
a serious public menace prompted its
selection as one OF two subjects for a
special educational campaign to be
carried on by the Minnesota State
Medical association during March. The
seriousness Of this menace is stressed
in the first bulletin on the subject
issued today by the associations com
mittee on public health education
ArIhritis, another unconouered dis
ease problem, is 10 be given special
consideration by the physicians in
March also, according 10 this bulletin,
and speakers or information VIII be
available during the month al the
association headquarters at 493 Lowry
Medical Arts Building, ST. Paul.
The specific cause Of rheumatic fever
is not definitely known, the physicians
say; but il is believed 10 be an in
lection caused by the streptococcus
germ in certain susceptible persons
Recent studies have shown that there
are three times as many cases among
the families Of rheumatic children than
among the general run Of families. that
II is most prevalent where people are
over-crowded and er-nCu-iShed and
that there is q hereditary factor which |
makes some children more susceptible |
than others.
The first attack occurs most often |
between six and seven years OF age /
and in & series Of cases studied recently, |
the death rate varied from 1913 TO 81 g /
per cent Of cases. Of even graver
significance was the fact that from 1
SCI 70 7s.5 per cent Of these cases were
left with permanent heart damage
The damp chilly days Of early spring
and fall develop the largest number Of /
cases in this climate according to the
bulletin and especial vigilance is neces-
sary 10 detect mild cases before serious
damage is done.

FEBRUARY IS
MILD MONTH
Nothing Noteworthy Happens
In Weather Line, But Look
Out for March!

With February out Of the picture
by a whole week, Ely residents girdeo
themselves for another month of winter
that they hope viii continue TO be IN
severe. Nothing particularly note
worthy about the weather occurred last
month Only a few days were very
cold and only comparatively small
amount Of snow fell.
The average high temperature was 81
degrees above zero, and the average
low was 6 above, considerably warmer
than January's average high Of 1913
above and average low Of minus 2.
On five days the mercury rose above
the freezing mark, the high for the
month being SO degrees on Feb. 4.
On nine days it fell To OF below, with
the lowest point being minus Il on
Feb. q and "a
Precipitation totaled LIP inches
which would be equal to about 4 foot
Of snow. Snowfall during the month
was heavier than any month of the
winter.
What March has in store for this
area remains to be seen. Last year
March was the most severe month of
the winter.

We have been embarrassed
several times before IN our life,
but Tuesday night was the pay
off. We were supposed to give a
talk before a meeting of the Key
West Players at the Art Center.
Our ''fireside chat" wasn't well
prepared ian old habit of ours,
so reading passages from a book
had to suffice. However, just as
we were about to wax eloquent
with a paragraph from Mark
Twain's Life on the Mississippi"
the lights sputtered sadly and
died, leaving us with a book in
our hand and nothing to say.
The members, though, kindly"
asked us, knowing our plight full
well, to continue We tried TO
think of a snappy comeback, but
as usual, we were virtually
SpeechleSS.
The book which led to our
downfall was The American
Language, by H. L. Mencken. It
is 'an inquiry into the develop
ment of English in the United
States. There is an extremely
interesting, but too brief, discus
sion of the characteristics of the
English dialect as spoken in Key
West. Heretofore, we had no
idea of the unique position held
by Key West along these lines.
The realization came to us then
that we have been unmindful of
the Singularity of Key West with
relation to the rest of the United
Safes. All we can say in our de-
Tense is that we're learning!

MRS. DAVIS RETURNS

After two years absence, during which time she had charge of the Sacred Heart Mission School near Panama, Mrs Rose M. Davis, Government school teacher in Douglas for many years, returned to Douglas last night aboard the Mount Mckinley.
 With retirement now in pros pect, she plans to stay for a few weeks, and is at present the guest of Mrs. L. w. Kilburn. Later she expects to go to St. Paul, Minfl., her former home city to visit with relatives during the winter months.
 Speaking of her residence and work in the Interior, Mrs. Davis expressed keen appreciation of that part of the Territory. Although the weather had it's extremes in cold and warmth she enjoyed it as well as her school and living quarters. She had maximum of 37 children under her care and tutelage, all in the first four grades. The institu- ton is located about three miles distant from Tanana and travel back and forth was facilitated largely by dog team. At present there is increased activity notice able in that section with the build- ing of roads and bridges.

pendence and integrity of the Americans. It was, and is, de- signed to prevent aggression in this hemisphere on the part of any American power.
 Tt never has resembled and it does not today resemble policies which appear to be arising in other geographical areas ot the world, which are alleged to De similar to the Monroe Doctrine, but which would in reality seem to be only the pretext for the carrying out of conquest by the sword"
 That gave the President an opening to carry the whole theme step further two days later Through Secretary Steve Early he suggested to Japan and Germany, in effect, that they apply the principles of a true Monroe Doc Urine to the problems of their con- tinents, that each nation be al- lowed it's own voice in continental settlements.
 There might be the germ of the mutual Monroe Doctrine.
 The net result of all this from the American government point of view is, first, to get the original Monroe Doctrine before all the republics of this hemisphere, not as a dead document. but as a live instrument of the United States, as vital today as it was in 1923. It is OUR policy, not the collec- tive policy of the American na- tions. It recognizes the freedom Of the American nations to handle their own affairs, and warns off foreign systems, EXCEPT for those areas where European states already held sway, such as Can ada, and the GuianaS. That, and nothing more.
