District Considers
Drainage for Land
Unless Owners Act
Would Assess Cost of
Abotine Nuisance
Against Property

Possibilities of direct action was
considered today by District officials
to provide for drainage of a large
and sometimes water-filled deprss-
sion in land on the north side of the
3700 block of Albemarle street NV,
IN case owners of the property fail
to comply with on order to abate
the nuisance"
Acting on renewed protests from
neighboring property owners, Dis
trict officials tentatively adopted q
plan for the District government to
install a drainage main, to be con-
nected with the Albemarle street
sewer, and to assess the cost against
the land owners, if they fail to act
in the case within the near future.
Health Department officials re-
vealed they had sent notices last
Friday to two owners of the prop
erty, requiring that steps be taken
to correct the alleged nuisance The
time limit would expire Saturday.
The notice to the third owner of
the property was laid before the
Commissioners yesterday and was
to be issued today. 1t allows five
days for action.
Complaints against the hole first
reached the District Building about
two years ago. Later, Health De-
partment notices for correction were
issued, but no action resulted Later
the Health Department proposed
the construction of a drainage alley,
but the Highway Department held
that this was no solution since the
level of the proposed drainage alley
would be below that of the street.
The new proposal, developed yes
terday afternoon at a conference
of nine District officials, is for in
stallation of a catch basin and
drainage sewer pipe at the lowest
point of the hole, this to be con-
nected with the sewer system.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS,

4AoASAN AOAN W. 1NAsoASJs
Black Pussy was unhappy. She
was unhappy in mind and unhappy
in body, and that is being about
aS unhappy as one can be. She was
unhappy in mind because she was
afraid, and fear always makes one
unhappy. And she was unhappy in
body because the great claws of
Hooty the Owl had scratched her
and torn her coat in several places.
Each one Of those places burned
and smarted.
So Black Pussy crouched under
a hemlock bough and wished with
all her might that it never. never,
never had entered her head to 90
hunting. She wished with all her
might that she was back In Farmer
Browns kitchen, warm and safe
and comfortable. At first she was
afraid TO move, for she did not
know what had become of Hooty
the Owl, and, of course, she did
not know hat Hooty had had quite
enough of lighting himself. So she
crouched and licked her wounds and
tried to get up courage enough to
start for home.
After a while, hearing nothing
and seeing nothing Of Hooty. she be-
gan to steal away, moving stealthily
step at time. pausing at each
step to listen, and doing her very
best to keep under the hemlock
boughs. At the least little sound
she would crouch fiat and hold her
breath, for Black Pussy was a
scared cat, a very scared cat. BY
and by, as nothing happened, she
reached a place where she thought
it safe to run, and run she did.
She ran as if Hooty himself was
right at her tail.
Now it just happened that Old
Man Coyote had decided that he
would look around In the Green
Forest that morning. Old Man
Coyote was hungry. Getting a full
stomach in winter when everything
is covered with snow and ice and
so many of the little people of the
Green Meadows and the Green
Forest are either sleeping away the
winter or have supplies of food
stored away so that they seldom
go out. is not at all easy for Old
Man Coyote. He is hungry most of
the time!
So, though he really didn't think
it would be the least bit of use.
he decided to have another look
around in the Green Forest, just as
If he hadn't hunted all through it
the night before AS he came over
the top Of the little hill something
very, very black indeed raced
through the hollow below. 1t was
Black Pussy on her way home Old
Man Coyote started down that hill
at a rate that made Black Pussy
almost seem to be standing still.
He had almost reached her before
she even knew that he was about.
With a frightened yell she did the
only thing there was for her TO
do-she scrambled up a tree.

Too Little Attention
Is Paid to the Feet.

Children'S feet are easily nodded, the
Minnesota State Medical associations
committee on public health education
says today, and the time to prevent
most of the foot ills of later life is in
childhood.
I'm this day of the medically super
vised child, surprisingly little attention
is paid to the fundamentals of foot
care" the doctors point out in this
bulletin cit is the feet that have to
| bear the weight, hold the body upright
! against the downward pull of gravity
and carry it around; and yet, in spite
of the demands made upon them, they
are universally neglected and abused
| Most healthy, we'll nourished children
have good feet and the chief essential
to keeping them that way is to put
them in properly fitted shoes and
stockings, according to the bulletin
"Childrens shoes should be at least
one-half inch longer than their feet
and about one-fourth of an inch wider
the doctors say. Socks should allow
adequate room for the spreading and
lengthening of the feet on standing
when child is allowed to wear
short shoes or socks, the feet tend
to turn over from strain on the inner
supports of the foot and flat feet may
develop. The current fad for wearing
| two pairs of socks at once results in
many cases from cramped toes, in
growing nails and even incipient
bunions"
| The support of a leather shoe is
essential to our mode of living, the bull
| letin points out further, because of the
hard surfaces on which we are con-
stantly walking and standing at work
and at play. The resilency of leather
sole gives some protection against rough
and uneven surfaces and, in addition
the leather shoes protect against damp
and cold. FleXibility is essential also
so that the muscles of the foot and leg

T0WERMEN ON
FOREST DUTY
Take Over Posts in Superior
National Forest; Plane
Joins Fire Crews.

Five towermen and three fire guards
are on duty in the La CroiX and Ka-
wiSlliwi districts of the Superior Ma
tional Forest, and two other towers
are expected to be manned within a
short time, according to information
obtained from the Ely Office of the
U. S. forest service.
Faced with one of the most serious
fire danger situations in many years,
the forest service is taking extra pre-
cautions to safeguard property within
the boundaries of the forest.
Merle A. Moltrup, pilot for the forest
service, arrived here last Thursday
with the forest services plane, which
will again use Ely as a base for opera
lions within the Superior National
Forest.
Up to last weekend five grass fires
which is some cases spread to timber
tracks, had been eXtinguished. One OF
them, located on the extreme southeast
edge of the city, for time threatened
several residences. A five-man crew
which was on duty at the Ely ware
house put in a timely appearance to
curb the blaze.
Now that the fishing season has
started and many people are travelling
through the forest area, the forest SER
vice is seeking the cooperation OF
anglers to keep man-started blazeS at
a minimum. A plea for care in dis
carding cigarets and extinguiShing
camps fire, the primary cause of forest
fires, has been made by forest service
officials.
Frank j. Lenich is manning the Ely
lookout tower, Harry T. Billger the
Babbitt tower, Hedge Hallin is at
Fernberg, Robert U. Gustafson at
Angleworm, and Urho j. Elfving at the
Sioux. The Norway and Kekekabic
towermen will be sent out soon.
Fire guards on duty are AIne S. Pen
