AS 1 pointed out in my reply

of the whole affair in such
"color ban" cases is the sched-
ule of contract. Here we find
irresponsible persons deliberate

Blu. officials had sat down and

Gently and that the Boston

thorized to print the story that
Thomas and Mitchell would be
barred from playing w. Mary
land at Baltimore. Be that as
it may. Thomas was barred and
the Blu. students and Boston
Press had received no notice of
any change in policy. I am
much inclined to believe that
Blu. discussions" did not Gre
ate the change.
We might as we'll give credit
to where credit is due, and

port from the Boston N.AA.CP.

Mitchell join right up!

Could Be Coach

from what Montgomery has

earned a chance to become a

not in the north, We have nom
mated Lou for a coach before,

just what Lou could do with a

done pretty good.

Faces Action for Not
Listing Address Change

Local draft boards in Minnesota have
now reported about seventy-f1ve cases
of delinquency under the selective
service act to Victor E. Anderson,
United States district attorney, &C
cording to Major John H. Derrick,
Judge advocate of the selective service
headquarters for Minnesota. Federal
grand juries will be asked to indict in
all cases during their next sessions.
about 80 per cent of these charges
result from failure to keep local boards
informed of changes of address," stated
Major Derrick, "and it leaves the local
boards with no choice but to report
the facts to the district attorney. Under
the law, every registrant must keep
his local board informed at all times
of his whereabouts.
A few men now delinquent have not
given correct information regarding
their names and addresses, according
to Major Derrick, making it impossible
for local boards to locate him. How
ever, when they are eventually appre-
hended, they will be dealt with accord
ing to law, wherein a court, upon
conviction, can impose a sentence
carrying up to five years in prison, a
fine of 10000, or both.

that machines are being operated in
many places of the state. In order to

be allowed to purchase and intall their

Friday, January 1, 1892.

The numerous settlers in the pro-
posed national park are becoming
alarmed through fear that they will
lose their claims should the president
decide to set aside the 1000 square
miles of Minnesota territory. The
proposition has been preached by
concession minded interests to put the
entire northern end of the state into
a national park and thus close this
vast domain to every form of home
stealing, mining, farming and timber
producing. John johnson, an intelli-
gent Scandinavian who has patent
for a presumption claim in the Rainy
Lake country has visited all the news
paper offices in Duluth protesting
against the establishment of the pro-
posed park on behalf of the settlers
in his neighborhood. He has been in
formed that the government could
condemn his land and take it away
from him should it so desire and that
this would prove a great hardship.

8. On icy roads, condition of
tires does not have much bear
ing on skidding. In the case of
wet roads, however, cars with
good treads are definitely better.
4. Practically all highway de-
partments now treat skidproof-
ing abrasives with calcium chic
ride. This material forms a thin
coating around the sand or Gin
der particles which causes them
to melt into the ice and anchor
securely. Since calcium chloride
is an anti-freeze, it also prevents
storage piles of abrasives from
freezing and makes spreading
on icy roads easy even at sub
zero temperatures.
5. While the use Of chains is
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-01-02

beneficial in stopping or ac-
celebrating on straight sections
of icy highways, they do not
provide control against rear-end
skidding on curves. Chains
should be regarded as providing
an extra margin of safety at
moderately slow speeds, but a
margin that disappears if speeds
are too fast.
6. In stopping on slippery
roads, let the braking power Of
the engine in high gear slow the
vehicle down to about 1912
miles per hour, using the brakes
lightly, if necessary; then dis
engage the clutch and apply
brakes cautiously for the final
stop. Pumping" the brakes
lightly off and on is much better
than locking the brakes for
maintaining control of direction.

Doctors Stress Pneumonia,
Flu and Common Cold.

The mild flu epidemic now raging in
the West and South, plus the usual
winter prevalence of colds and pneu-
monia, has prompted the Minnesota
State Medical association to group
colds, 'tf1u" and pneumonia as the
subject of -the-month's public education
campaign, it was announced today.
Special new scientific material VIII
go to the doctors themselves on the
subject, according to an announcement
and speakers will be available to any
interested organization from Associ-
alton Headquarters at 493 Lowry Med
ical Arts Building, st. Paul
The three Affections to be stressed
in January by the doctors are separate
disease entities but one of them often
seems to lead to the other and one
is sometimes mistaken for the other
with distressing results.
Nobody ever died from a simple
cold" the doctors declare in this bull
letin. ION the other hand, even
cold is capable of giving rise to COM
plications which may be serious and
colds cause more misery and loss Of
time than many graver ailments"
The best advice they have to offer
about colds is first to avoid catching
cold, if possible, by avoiding contact
with people who already have them.
The second is to go home to bed
and stay there where you can keep
warm and comfortable and avoid the
agony of trying to get on with your
work or social affairs with a running
nose and cough. Incidentally, you win
get tbetter faster, they say, and with
less chance of passing your misery on
to others. The doctors warn, paren-
thetically, that most cold remedies are
either useless or they give only very
temporary relief and some of them,
such as oily drops for the nose, are
likely to be positively harmful.
Advice for the mild form of flu is
much the same as for colds, the bull
letin says; but for pneumonia the
case is different. Immediate recogni-
ton and treatment by modern methods
including serum or one of the new
drugs such as sulfapyridine, or both,
absolutely essential.
