Corsets Advised For Men Over Forty By Doctor

Dr William J Kerr of the University of California medical school told delegates at the Pacific Northwest Medical association in Spokane that corsets for men over forty can prevent angina pectoris by supporting the torso.

Plans for Duck Refuge in Smith Valley

The plan to create a duck refuge in Smith Valley southwest of Kalispell was revived during a three day visit by Pierce McBride of Salt Lake representing the United States Biological Survey and D E Woodworth of Portland. They reported an investigation will be followed by a formal report. The dormant project gained life after a law allowed the Biological Survey to own land in the state. About 3000 acres would be flooded with one third of Smith Lake, plus about 2000 more acres for nesting, totaling around 5000 acres. A 3 to 5 foot dam below Smith Lake would use a natural barrier to form the refuge. Construction could bring 23000 acres under irrigation.
