ELY TOURISTS
ON Increase
Quota for City liked as Hay
Fever Victims Arrive for
Much-Needed Relief.

Ely's quota of tourists is expected to
increase materially during August, as
the hay fever sufferers flock to the
Arrowhead country for relief.
BotaniSts, in their analysis, picture
the situation in this way: The growing
area of pollen-bearing plants, particu-
larry ragweed, has increased because
of drouth in many sections last year
that killed grass. Excessive precipita-
ton this spring stimulated the growth
of weeds. High temperatures in July
fastened the ripening process.
Because of the natural air-condition-
ing in a region of lakes, cool nights
and shady forest groves, the Minnesota
Arrowhead country is restful haven
for those suffering from the perennial
malady.
Already many hay fever sufferers
have arrived for the season and will
remain here until frost nipS the weeds,
curbing the spread of the aggravating
pollen" said S. Valentine Saxby, execu-
tive secretary of the Minnesota Arrow
head association.
ITO maintain this region as a hay
fever haven and as a welcome to those
thousands of visitors who come here
for relief from this catarrhal ailment,
it is incumbent that we make every
effort to stamp out growths of plants
that are troublesome, particularly rag
weed. Each resident should take it
upon himself to eradicate weeds on his
property.
Mr.. Saxby urged resort operators and
others to aid in the associations pro-
gram to lengthen the summer tourist
season, an effort described in the slo-
gan, "Stay Through September, the best
month in the Arrowhead

Many a note has been sounded by

Studebaker to add pleasant melody to

Traffic Officer Cites Safety
Code AS Bicycle Accident C,~u

"Since 1885 as many as SO North
Carolina children have been killed
riding bicycles" said Lieut.. ]. H.
Davis, chief of the city traffic
squad, yesterday as ne commented
on bicycle-car wrecks in Whining
ton in the past few days.
"The streets and highways are
being used extensively for bicycl-
ing, and legally, as the laws of
North Carolina state a bicycle is
a vehicle" continued Davis. The
rider of a bicycle must comply with
the same laws. and regulations as
the driver of an automobile"
But, Davis pointed out, automo,
bile drivers should remember that
MANY of these children are from
six. to nine years old, and cannot
be expected to have the intelligence
and forethought G. a grown person.
Grownups should look out for chill
dren for, says Davis, you cannot
tell what a child of these ages will
do"
Some children ride their bicycles
carelessly," he commented. But
also do some motorists. drive their
cars carelessly. Six children have
been knocked from bicycles in this
city in the last 10 days. Three of
these accidents happened in the
1a,,,-+o,,, ~ootilo 'H-,o hoy-,
knocked from their bicycles by auto
mobiles pulling away from the curb.
Motorists should not lea-e the curb
until they look to be sure it is safe
to do So"
Drivers who go at a fast rate of
speed when passing bicycles, and
do not give children warning of
their approach, r certainly not
giving the children due considera-
ton, he said.
"Speed limits in the city include
25 miles per hour in the residential
district, 20 miles per hour in the
business district, and IS miles per
hour in the school zones" COM
mented Davis. "These speeds are
fast enough taking everything into
consideration. I am begging the mo-
florists and parents to cooperate
with me in reducing accidents eve
with the increasing number of auto
mobiles and bicycles on the road.
For them and their children I have
composed this card on bicycling:
do you know that bicycling is
a lot of fun, that it's the best all
around exercise at the same time
being great sport, that it's the
cheapest form of transportation
there is? Remember these IL rules
and enjoy yourself: obey all traffic
regulations, ride in a straight line
and do not weave in and out of
traffic, have a white light on front

To go Deadlock

ST. LOUIS, June 29-The St.
Louis Browns, beaten 9 to in the
opener of a double-header today
with the Detroit Tigers, fought back
to send the nightcap into a 9-to-9
deadlock when it was called because
of darkness at the end of nine in
nings.
The second game was a free -scor-
ing affair, with the Tigers using
four pitchers and the Browns three.
The st. Louisans outhit the visitors.

Walt Judnich's single off Alton
Benton scored George McQuinn
with the tying run in the eighth
after the Browns had scored four
runs on four hits and an error,
including Judnichs 18th homer, in
the seventh.
A three-run St. Louis uprising
routed Schoolboy Rowe in the third
inning, with Roy Cullenbine's home
run leading the attack.
The Tigers loaded the bases right
pop out of the box against Eden
Auker in the first game and Hank
Greenberg cleared them with a
home run.
Bruce Campbell hit for the circuit
in the same inning and Dick Bar
tell got two singles, the second driv-
ing in another run.
However, the Browns had the
satisfaction of driving Tommy
Bridges from the mound, Judnich
helping with his 1lth home run.
