Miss Antoinette Malovich, teacher
in the Winton school of the Ely dis
trict, died following an automobile
accident near Forest Lake Saturday
evening. Seriously injured in the
same accident were Arvo Hill of Vir-
ginia; Abigail Foote and j. E. Al
bachten of Duluth; Elmo w. Koski of
Virginia and Miss Lenora Forte of
Eveleth. The accident also caused the
instant death of John Cdhoon lof
Duluth. The accident occurred when
the car travelling ahead of the Co
hoon machine going south, skidded
crosswire into the path of Coohon.
The Hill machine going north swung
out to avoid hitting the other ma
chine and the Cohoon and Hill cars
met headon. Miss Malovich was a
native of Eveleth. Misses Jessie Liv-
ingston, Edith Lampi, Bertha Bjork-
man, Minnie Ratzlaff, Ina Tykander
and Rose Schmidt attended the
funeral in Eveleth Wednesday.

From The Ely Times
Friday. March 10. 1893.

A mass of earth carrying with it
several timbers, gave way in No.
shaft of the Chandler Wednesday
forenoon and caught John Yolki under
1t catching his feet and legs in the
mass. A crew was at once set to
work to get him loose but as fast
as earth was removed, more would
come down. A Scaffold was built over
him to save him from being crushed.
1t took until 8 o'clock that evening to
get him out. When he was freed,
though weak and nervous, he walked
uptown. No bones were broken and
aside from bruises and shock, the man
was uninjured.
Friends here of Edward Ahlund and
John Sundblad, were appraised of the
burial of two men under tons of ore
and rock by a cave-in at the Winthrop
mine at Ishpeming, Mich. A party
at once began digging for what they
thought to be the remains and found
the men alive and unhrrt. The mine
tirbers had fallen in such way as
to make a small chamber and a
broken air-pipe supplied them with
fresh air. The cave-in occurred on
Friday and the men were released on
Monday.
Anderson & Korb's team ran away
from the depot Monday and continued
their run over almost every street
in the city before being caught.
Dwelling houses for rent are at a
premium in the city and are not to

Reorganization of the Army general
staff announced last week by the War
Department represents another long
step toward the most efficient admin
istrative setup for about war. It also
disposes finally and completely of the
agitation for a separate air force,
which the majority who have studied
the subject believe would be a step in
the wrong direction, away from uni
fed command so essential in modern
war.
Actually, the new reorganization of
the Army into air force, ground force,
and services of supply recognizes fully
the vital Importance that air force
plays in modern war, but at the same
time avoids the tragic consequences
of separation which cost the British
so dearly at Crete and in Norway,
when lack Of coordination of air and
naval forces was disastrous.
The new setup also wipes out the
old hard distinction between the vari-
Gus arms of the service-ordnance, in
fantry, artillery, etc.-which has led to
rivalries in their way as bad as that
between the Army and Navy which
played so large part in making Pearl
Harbor possible
Under the new setup, Lieutenant
General Arnold will have complete
command of ell combat air forces in
this country, and will also direct the
| huge training and procurement pro-
gram for the air force. General Nc
Nair will be in command of all ground
forces in this country and also will
direct all training of ground units,
! while General Brehon Somervell is in
| complete charge of all services of
| supply in the United States, which
| means the quartermaster corps ord
nance and all the multitudinous con-
struction jobs handled by the en-
gineers.
Of the three, I've just met General
Arnold, but he appears to have what
it takes. I've seen Somervell in action
and heard him testify before the
Truman committee and he strikes me
as the kind of man who will get the
job done, come what may Because he
has delivered the goods on every
assignment he has been given, he is
now a major general where he was
colonel little over year ago. In other
words, the crust of dead wood that
forms over the top of our Army in
peace time is being broken up and
the younger officers who can deliver are
rising to the top rapidly.
An integral part of the new stream
lined setup is that task forces sent to
any of the fighting fronts will be
under unified command Thus, if the
job is primarily one for the air force,
an officer probably would be named
to command all air, ground and naval
units used. If it is primarily a naval
| job naval officer would command.

SAID lecturer
University Women and Guests
Hear Miss Beale Friday
Evening.

The A. A. u w. of Ely were very
fortunate to secure such an impress
sive and fluent speaker for last Friday
evening as Miss Hilda Beale of York,
England.
Miss Beale in her captivating man.
ner told the University women and
their guests of the cooperation Eng
land was receiving from the house
wives. She told us not one morSel
of food is wasted, not one inch OF
ground is let go to waste. She said
there is no grumbling over there
about shortages in food, because they
just don't have it and there isn't time
to waste in complaining about it.
She told her audience that the Eng
liSh Ministry of Health reports that
the people of England today are the
healthiest they have even been in
years due to a restricted meat diet
the large consumption of vegetables
and more exercise owing to gas ration
ing.
The American women also must
learn to utilize what they have, not to
face our present situations by hoard
ing everything We can get our hands
on, but by being economical in ou1
buying and cooking.
Women who are guilty of boarding
canned goods, sugar, etc., are not only
selfish, but they are detrimental tc
the millions of Americans who are CO.
operating with our president and ou1
government in doing all in their
power on the home front to help win
this war.
