get my information from a re
port by three leutenants who are
attached to the medical corps of
the United States Army. From
August l. 1910. TO August /, 1871,
there have been 1910 parachute
jumps made in the group which
they reported with q total OF l21
injuries. or 2.4ee. OF these only
81, or less than tee, were severe
enough for hospital admission.
The only one IN Which death oc-
CURED is one in which the para
chutist jumped at $50 feet and was
killed when his main and emer-
gency chute failed 70 open COM
pletely. Jumping at this height
has been discontinued owing to the
inadequate time allowed for the
parachutist TO use his second chute
The great majority of injuries
were very trifiing, consisting Of
Commissions. bruises and sprains of
lesser degree. An average of FIVE
10 SIX days was all that was al
lowed for treatment. OF the 80
severe injuries, most Of them were
fractured bones of one kind or an
other.
Naturally bones of the foot, an
kle and leg suffered more than any
other part of the body. These in
juries occurred of course during
the last phase Of the jump or at
tie tune when the jumper made
contact with the ground. Many
factors may cause accidents OF this

French Army Report
A report from the French army,
published in 1889, covered the sub

there were four general kinds o
casualties: First, injuries whicl

to the abdomen or chest without
rupture of any blood vessels; third,
internal injuries with hemorrhage
and fourth. fractures of the lower
extremities.

Committees in charge of Ely's OBJ
servance of the Presidents birthday
Jan. 80 have been announced by John
Smrekar, chairman. A ball will be
held to raise funds for the fight
against infentile paralysis.
Last fall this city experienced first
hand the ravages of the disease, and
the fine work that the local chapter
did to aid afflicted families was graft
flying to those who had contributed
toward the fund.
A total of $4,000 was allotted six
local families by the northern st.
Louis county chapter which is in
charge of this area.
Committees follow, with the first
named being chairman:

Anderson then asked Buccowich if
"the poor or the rich" would benefit.
and Buccowich replied that consumers
with ranges who had small light bills
would be penalzed.
Maxi said he felt the Minnesota
Power & Light company, from whom
the city buys current, should take a
cut along with the city, and con-
demned the "short-sighted" action of
previous council in signing a 10
year contract with the company (Which
still has eight years to rum
Continued to be questioned by An
derson, Buccowich said that in the
small-consumer group these patrons
would have to use 10 or II kilowattS
before they would benefit He said
that the average user consumed SO
to 10 kilowatts, in reply to Porthan's
question, and that he would get a
10 per cent decrease providing he did
not have an electric stove.
All the II per cent group which
during December would have been
increased under the one-meter rate,
Buccowich said, are electric range
owners, and he emphasized that the
rate was an "equalizing' one, which
meant that there might be increases
as well as decreases under it.
Buccowich then pointed to the
savings to both the city and home
owners on meters, estimating that the
city purchased 100 range meters at
s10.43 each and like number of light
meters at $40 each during 1941.
Ahola declared that there were

watts of range" current and only

Koschak said that the rate should
be worked out so that no one was given
an increase.
The vote then followed.
Koschak opposed adoption of the
salary schedules, saying that the
council "can expect objections and
requests for raises" from city en-
ployes.

Job Placements for
Year Up 60 Per Cent

in defense industries in various parts
of the country and in the outlying
defense bases.
Job insurance claims filed in the Ely
office numbered 1886 in 1941, compared
to 328 in 1910. Benefit payments fell
slightly from $27,547 in 1910 to $27,12o
in 1941.
The employment situation in the
area for 1941 as compared with 1910
was much better than is indicated by
the very slight decline in benefit pay
ments. This was due to the increase
in seasonal employment resulting in
benefit payments during the workers
lay-off at the close of the season.
In the last two years job insur-
ance checks have added $54,667 to
the purchasing power of residents
in this area who were temporarily
unemployed and otherwise qualified
for benefits.

Employment-Security Division
Finds Positions for ia
During 1941.

The Employment-Security Division
through its Ely Office placed 60 per

1941 than in 1910, it was reported this
week by Edward C. Stonich, manager.
The report was given in an annual
summary of operations submitted to
Victor Christgau, director of the div
iSion.
The Ely Office assisted 174 persons
to find jobs in 194l as compared to
100 in 1910. Mr.. Stonich stated that
due to the defense program, the quail
ity and type of jobs found were more
desirable than those of previous years.
A large percentage of the jobs were

800 Ely Car Owners
Purchase Use Stamps
Estimated $500 Persons
Must Obtain StickerS;
DeadLine Feb. I.

USeV car stamps were issued tC
800 local motor vehicle owners up to
noon yesterday, with an estimated Zoo
passenger car and truck drivers yet
to come in for their stamps before
the deadline Feb. l.
Stamps went on sale at the post
Office Friday noon, with John Wilmu-
men, postal department employe who
happened to be on hand at the time,
getting the first one. The second went
to Mrs. Ralph Toms.
The term "motor vehicle" as COM
ing under the "use" tax means all
motor vehicles of the kind chiefly
used for highway transportation, in
Guiding autos, trucks, and motorcycles,
and the term "uSe" means on the
public highways, the internal rev.
enus department explains.
1t is APPARENT from this that motor
boats, as first unofficially reported,
do not require stamp.
It is also stated that owners of cars
now in winter storage need not pur-
chase a stamp until the month their
car is put back into use, but to con-
form with the law there must be
evidence that the car was dismantled,
such as by removal of tires or bat
terry.
Purchasers of stamps are given a
card to fill out to send to the collector
of internal revenue, st. Paul, CIV
ing the make of vehicle, body type, year
and engine number, and name and
address of owner so that they will not
be recorded as delinquent in the pay
ment of the tax. st. Paul is headquar-
tiers for this district
On Mar. / another stamp will go
on sale for $167 for cars put into
use that month, and others monthly
until they are all void on June 80 of
this year.
On July / the S. stamps for the
year ending on June 80, 1913, will be
placed on sale at the post Office. Sep
arate stamps will be issued and sold
each month until the end of the
fiscal year, as follows: $4.59 for Aug
ust; SALT for September; $3.75 for
October; 1914 for November; 1922
for December; $3.50 for January;
$500 for February Chats what you're
paying now; $167 for March; $1.25
for April; s084 for May, and $o.42
for June.
1t is pointed out that severe penal
ties are provided by law in the case
of any person liable for the use tax
who fails to purchase stamp and
affix it to his vehicle. The internal
revenue department states that the
stamp could be affixed to the instru-
ment panel of the vehicle, to the back
of the rear vision mirror, or in the
event local regulations will not be
violated, the stamp might be affixed
to a suitable place on the windshield,
to the rear or side window, or to such
other part of the vehicle where it
would not be conspicuous and would
not become mutilated or detached.
