oil equipment careful periodic
check TO keep 1t in good order, as
well as the most meticulous atten-
tion when IL is in use. but we must
also locate a shop in our vicinity to
do repair work and find out enough
about the workings of the appliance
90 that We will understand repair
costs Then as long as we can get
electric current we will be able TO get
along nicely.
As things develop you will find
that your local electrical shop will
be able to assist you In many ways.
Right now there are booklets on the
care and use OF electrical equipment
which should be placed on the shelf
with the first-aid book. Later you
may be informed how you can as
sist In the defense program by using
equipment only at certain hours.
As you probably know your power
company must be set up to carry a
peak" load. That is-if all the lights
and equipment were on at the same
moment the generators must be able
to handle the full load When you
consider how this peak might be
lowered II 1t were possible to stagger
the hours at which equipment is
used so that the load was spread out
over the whole day. there would be
many other hours when power could
be transferred elsewhere to defense
plants and factories where 1t is
needed. So every housekeeper should
be on her toes about these details
lust as she Is about food rationing,
care for what she has and not to
abuse II. to keep 1t in repair as far
as she is able and when necessary
to plan to use 1t only at specified
hours or TO do without 1t If neces-
sary.
One electrical shop In a WASH
ington suburb has already adver-
tised that they will see the local
residents through the emergency by
servicing equipment once a month
for a nominal charge and having
on hand a comprehensive stock OF
repair parts to keep any electrical
gadget or device in order. This
is good business, for when the day
comes that new equipment is avail
able the customers are not likely
to forget the place where they have
been getting good service!
Possibly there will be classes for
instruction In the proper mending
Of iron cords and similar small jobs
that may be safely done by home
owners with proper training.
Women may be trained to take the
place Of men in repair work. Avail
able on call through the power COM
pany or through the electric shops,
they could service household equip
ment and keep washing machines,
sewing machines or kitchen ranges
in apple-pie order after all the men
have been called to work on air
planes and battleShips. Women
understand well how necessary 1t Is
to care for and conserve the things
they possess. This type OF conser-
walton enters into the home and
family life of every one. It will sbe-
come a vital part of the AL out"
program. and it will be wonder
full lesson for this generation OF
youngsters who have learned to use
up surplus rather than to conserve
shortage.

HOW TAX CONCERNS
GASOLINE RATION.

The relationship of the usage tax
stamp for automobiles to the proposed
gasoline rationing program IS ex-
planned by the collector of internal
revenue at st. Paul.
It will not be necessary TO exhibit
the usage tax stmap for automobiles
to secure a gasoline rationing book, If
and when gasoline rationing comes.
If gasoline rationing is made uni
form throughout the United States,
automobile owners, who have pur-
chased the usage tax stamps, should
enter the serial number appearing on
the usage tax stamp on the cover Of
the coupon book when obtained from
the OPA.
1t will then be the duty of the
service station attendants to see
that the serial number on the ra-
tioning book corresponds with the
number ON the tax stamp before
dispensing gasoline.
Those liable for the usage tax stamp,
who have not purchased the same,
should do so Immediately and should
not delay awaiting the proposed "a
tioning of gasoline. The usage tax
stamp payment was due on or be-
fore June 80, 1912, and the stamp
should have been affixed in the lower
righ-hand corner of the windshield on
or before July /, 1912.

SOr Take Local Team Into
Camp, So, to EUen
Up Count.

The Ely baseball team will engage
Virginia on the local diamond Sunday
at 2 o. m. in return contest.
The first meeting of the two on
the Queen City diamond provided
plenty of fireworks, and this display
will undoubtedly burst forth in new
potency this weekend.
At Virginia the game was interrupt
ted by an unpire's decision which Ely
protested vigorously. The contest was
continued under protest, and Vir-
GINA won, GA. The point protested
was the action of the official in call
ing a man out, then reversing his
decision and permitting the runner to
stay on first. The out would have re-
tired the side, but the reversal of the
decision permitted the Queen City to
score three runs and take the game.

FOR RETURN BALL GAME

to two for the Sox figured consider
ably in the outcome.
The Sox had 81 advantage,
which wasn't serious, as the fourth
came up, but after this inning, which
yielded runs, the host team had
the game nearly sewed up.
The first two Sox men up went for
easy outs, and then a walk, three
singles, and three errors accounted for
the Chisholm runs.
1t wasn't until the ninth that Ely
got another run over. Joe Novak, who
turned in good job as a pinch
pitcher, got single, advanced to third
on two Ely outs, and come home on a
single by Paul Prola.
Ed Grahek got Ely's initial run in
the third. Grahek singled, stole second,
and came home on Frank Lobe's
double. Grahek had three singles and
three stolen bases to lead the Ely
offensive.

Timber Men Ask
Load Exemption

A request for blanket exemption of
timber operators from a ruling provid-
ing that all trucks must load 100 per
cent of capacity at point of origin,
and on the return trip must haul at
least a rs per cent load, has been asked
by Fred Bessette, secretary of the
Timber Producers association The
ruling takes effect this Wednesday
under an order of the Office of De-
Tense Transportation. "In the lumber
industry, it is impossible to bring back
a load for the camp on each trip"
Mr. Bessette said.

the protest was invalid because it was
not accompanied by SIS fee. This was
the first information received by the
local club that a fee was required.
But anyway the game goes to the
Queen City, and the circumstances
relative thereto have made the boys
determined to even up matters when
the clubs square off here Sunday.
A new pitcher will be in the box
for Ely against Virginia. Ray Babb,
formerly of Aitkin and now assist

them over" for "Arti's" club.

Crossed Eyed, Crooked Tail
Cat Proud of Its Ancestry

This cat, belonging to Mrs. c. X.
Fullerton, 7155 Cherry Hill Rd.,
has crossed blue eyes and a
crooked tail and is proud of it, or
so the story goes. It seems that
once upon a time in Siam (now
Thailand). there was a beautiful
princess who failed to remove her
rings when she went bathing.
Since she could call no one to
care for the jewelry, she sum
moned her cat and slipped the
rings onto the tail. She then
tied a knot in the tail and the
cat was so proud of having car
ried the royal jewelry that he and
all his progeny retain the knot.
Another explanation of the oddly,
Is equally amusing. II seems that
about the same time a monk died
in a Siamese monastery and while
his assistant was hunting a new
head monk. the cat was admonish
ed to watch the chalice. The cat
grew sleepy so it curled its tail
| around the chalice and looked at
the receptacle for SO long 1t grew
crossed eyed.
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1942-01-31

The same breed Of cats Is sup
posedly mentioned in the Bible
as having roamed the streets of
Babylon.
For centuries It was the custom
in Siam to have the kings cat
march in his funeral procession
so the royal soul could 20 into
the animal. Then. since Siamese
cats might contain the soul of a
king. great care was exerted TO
keen them from leaving the coun-
try. It was not until late in the
last century that the first cats
were taken to England. They are
sim a rarity.
They differ from others Of their
kind in that their hind quarters
are very high in comparison to
the forepart. This is explained by
another interesting story which
centered on Noah's ark. A lioness
and a monkey were mated, ex-
planning the monkey color OF the
cats and their feline characteris-
tics. The unusual mask on the
cats face is also attributed to
the monkey forbear.
