Almost two centuries have elapsed since the birth of George Washington, first president of these United States of America. To the manor horn he elected to share the hard life of the colonists and to throw his power on the side of those brave pioneer souls battling for a new freedom.

Ilis place as "Father of his country” remains imperishable in the archives of time. The years hut serve to make bis place in American history more secure.

Without Washington’s faith, courage, ability and loyalty R is doubtful If independence would have been achieved within another century. He was content to give all, to accept all, In those tragic years stretching from Valley Forge to Yorktown.

Washington lives in the America of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The love of his fellow countrymen con­tinues as the grateful tribute of a mighty nation of freemen.

NATIONAL DEFENSE THE TOPIC FOR FEBRUARY MEETING.

At the February meeting of the Sarah Ann Cochrane chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu­tion the topic of "National Defense” was taken up In such a thorough manner that everyone present felt the paper given by Mrs. H. S. Doerr was an education in Itself. The paper did not deal alone with the present day defense of the nation, but began when this land first was taken over by the white man, gradually leading through all of the struggles of the people to maintain thia country and hold It as their own. The number of definite historical facts brought out besides the Ideas and statistics in regard to "National Defense” were very inter­esting as well as enlightening to the chapter.

The different D. A R. chapters In Michigan are taking a vote among their members as to which spot In the state is most historic. The three spots given to choose from were the Soo, at Sanlt Sts. Marte; Fort Shelby, in Detroit, and Mackinac Island.

THAT EXTRA SESSIONNow that it has been decided there

is going to be an extra session of congress there is a dispute about it— about what is to be done in it. Speaker Longworth wants to limit its activity to two things, farm relief and tariff. He. thinks by the time those measures are -finished it will be too hot to remain in Washington. But. the Speaker does not have all his' party with him. Mr. Newton, of Min­nesota, announces that congress in ex­tra session must not he limited. He contends it should be able and ready to consider any subject. He is parti­cularly interested in inland waterways development, and he believes that this subject is clbsely connected with the farm relief question. At any rate the argument only leaves taxpayers around Plymouth in position to won­der why it gets too hot for a congress­man to stay on the job in the summer­time. yet never gets too hot for those who work to provide congressinal salaries.

POTATOES AND STYLESIf there’s anyone around Plymouth

of the opinion that styles have nothing io do with farming and gardening, he wants to get that out of his head right now. Last year the nation’s potato crop failed to move as it should; it was sluggish and there was a slackening demafld. Now ex­perts are explaining that someone told the women that to be stylish they must be slender, and to become slend­er they should refrain from eating potatoes. And thousands upon thous­ands of them are said to have heeded that advice. The potato market suf­fered. just as hairpin manufacturers suffered when the bobbed hair fad struck this country. But no one fears the worst. Bobbed hair is already going out of style and it won't be | long before common sense will step I in to prevent foolish women from star-1 ving themselves to death just to be I stylish. Don't worry—the ixitato has | lx«en here too long to be knocked out uow by a silly fad.

NOT ALL GONE.There seems to be no occasion for

worrying about the-disappearance of our national resources, where our fuel of the future is coming from and all' that. Uncle Sam sent out a bull­etin on the subject last week, and In it we note that a recent survey shows there are still thirty million acres of coal land, underneath which are two hundred billion tons of coal. In ad­dition, there are a half-million acres of phosphate land that can supply eight billion tons of fertilizer; there are 65 undeveloped oil fields that can supply 33,000.000 barrels of oil, and four million acres of shale land that can furnish sixty billion barrels more when it is necessary to resort to that method of producing it. Think these figures over a few minutes and you'll not only let an idea of how vast are our undeveloped resources, hut you will see that there is no occasion for worrying over where the next gener­ation is going to get its coal, or fuel for running its automobiles.

THE AUTO’S TOLL.

While we still contend that the automobile is one of humanity’s great­est blessings, we still must coufess that in some respects it's a liability instead of an asset.

We are able now to present Plym­outh citizens with a dark side of the picture, as a report of auto acci­dents for the past year has just been sent out by the National Safety Council. This shows a total of 800,000 auto accidents in the U. S. during 1928. involving an economic loss of $850,000,000. In those accidents 27,- 000 people were killed, and, although the fatalities represent/ an increase of five per cent over 1927, it is the low­est increase for any one year since 1920.

There is a strong argument for greater care in motoring in these few figures—a more powerful sermon than anyone can preach. It means we are going to have at least 800,000 accidents this year, and. in all probability, 27,- 000 more are going to be killed. Then, too, these accidents are going to be in widely scattered territory, the same as they are every year, dhd some of them are naturally going to occur around here. For that reason it would he a good idea for every motorist to study the dark side of the picture. Doing so may capse someone to drive more carefully in the hoix? that their own name will not appear on the 1929 list of killed, and that their car will not figure in the 800,000 accidents that are almost certain to occur.

A SIGN OF SPRING.We have had for the past few days

a positive tip that spring is on its way. We get the tip by seeing the annual arrival of seed catalogues in the mail—and there are no better forcasters In the world than the men who sell farm, field and garden seeds and the accessories that go along with them.

To use a little modern slang, “It won't be long now.” Spring may, as Is the past several years, be a little Bhy about throwing herself Into old King Winter’s lap; we may get some pretty blustery days and quite a few more nncomoftable ones. Bat that doesn’t mean that we are going to be entirely bereft of spring. The seed men know better; that’s why they're sending out their catalogues now. Garden planning time is really here, and planting time is Just around the corner. Any job is half finished that is planned in advance, and that holds true with gardening and spring clean­ing the same as .with everything else. You can make it a lot easier when yon do finally get at it by sitting down beforehand and working it out in your mind, and by preparing in advance for Its arrival. The man who is al­ways behind is the one who gets started late, or who waits until the last minute to get ready. Seed men all know this; that’s why they sound their warning -of spring’s approach well in advance. It's a hint that Is always sufficient for the wise. And it ought to have some effect on those who haven’t learned the ways of the seed men and the seasons.

We, the undersigned, having been appoint­ed by the Probate Court for the County of Wayne, State of Michigan, Commissioners to receive, examine and adjust all claims and de­mands of all persons against said deceased, do hereby give notice that we will meet at the Plymouth United Savings Bank, Plymouth, Michigan, in said County, on Saturday the 30th day of March A. D. 1929, and on Wednesday the 29th day of May A. D. 1929, at 2 o’clock P.

Dated January 30, 1929.EDGAR K- BENNETT,ROY A FISHER,

The gasoline tank is built integral with the cowl and is unusually sturdy because it is made of heavy sheet steel, terne plated to prevent rust or corrosion. An additional factor of strength is the fact that it is composed of only two pieces, instead of three or four, and is electrically welded-—not soldered.

Because of the location of the tank, the entire flow of gasoline is an even, natural flow—following the natural law of gravity. This is the simplest and most direct way of supplying gasoline to the carburetor without vari­ations in pressure. The gaso­line feed pipe of the new Ford it only 18 inehet long and is easily accessible all the way.

The gasoline passes from the tank to the carburetor throngh a filter or sediment bulb mounted on the steel dash which separates the gasoline tank from the engine.

The carburetor is specially designed and has been built to deliver many thousands of miles of good service.

Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and idler, there is practi­cally nothing to get out of order.

The choke rod on the dash acts as a primer and. also as a regulator of your gasoline mixture. The new hot spot manifold insure« complete vaporization of the gasoline before it enters the combustion chamber of the

As a matter of fact, the fuel system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires very little service attention.

The filter or sediment bulb should be cleaned at regular tutorials and the carburetor screen removed and washed in gasoline. Oc­casionally the drain plug at the bottom of thecaihuretor should be removed and the carburetor drained for a few seconds.

Have your Ford dealer look after these important little details for yon when yon have the car oiled and greased. A thorough, peri­odic checking-up costs little, but at has a great deal to do

with long life and continuously goodperformance.

served by the Methodist ladies. Dur­ing the banquet a request was made that at its conclusion, the guests re­turn to the church auditorium as many people were coming in who wished to hear the speeches and en­joy the beautiful decorations.

After the audience was again seated in the auditorium,. the invocation was given by Rev. Nichol, after which Mrs. Robert McClure gave a vocal solo.

A. J. Koenig, VUlase Manager wasintroduced and in a few well chosen words, gave a welcome for the Village of Plymouth.

Dr. F. A. Lendrum then gave a wel­come for the Methodist church and George A. Smith. Superintendent of Schools, spoke briefly for the schools of Plymouth.

Paul W. Voorhies, of Detroit, was then introduced and delighted the audience with his glimpses back into the past. As most of our citizens know, Paul’s childhood was spent in Plymouth and he still has vivid re­collections of many funny things that occurred while he was just a kid. He recalled how his mother, who was such an earnest temperance worker, used to send him out to distribute bills for the W. C. T. U. shows because the other boys would hide the hand-bills under the side walks instead of dis­tributing them. In those days Plym­outh had only board sidewalks and the space beneath furnished excellent hiding places for hand-bills. I’aul also told how his mother trained him to recite a temperance poem en­titled. “Teetotal Boots." making him a present of a pair of tioots, with bright red tops and brass toes, as a reward for his recitation. Those boots furnished much sport for other small boys, who were possibly a trifle envious, and they nick-named the own­er 'Teetotal.'' Later this was short­ened to “Total'' and eventually it lx*- canie just “Tote." A nick-name which stuck by Paul for a long time.

Three members of the District of 50 years ago. Mrs. Phoebe Patterson and Misses Cora- and Nettie Pelham were present and were introduced to the assembly.

An original poem. “ Our Conflict." was then recited h.v Miss Nettie Pel­ham.

A welcome from Plymouth W. C. T. U. was given by Mrs. Clara Patter­son Todd. The speech was brief and humorous. Mrs. Todd told how she and her brother 'Clarence Patterson, of Detroit, were .the first and only W. C. T. U. twins of Plymouth. and while they were yet tiny habit's were made life members of the local union. Mrs. Todd also told how. like Paul Voorhies. it later fell to her and Clarence to do the errands for the Plymouth W. C. T.' U. In conclusion she said that this was not the first time that she had welcomed a W. C. T. U. convention to Plymouth. When she and Clarence were wee youngsters they had given h welcome to another convention in a little poem written for them by Miss Nettie Pelham. She also told of the difficulties encountered by the Misses Pelham in teaching them how to “elocute" properly and finished her address by giving the little poem:IIow do you do, good people all?

We're gla(l you came today.They told us we must welcome you

And this is what we'll say: “You're welcome to this great big

church.You're welcome here and now.

And, since our little speech is done.We'll finish with a bow.”

BRIEF HISTORY OF FIFTY YEARS W. C. T. U. FIRST DISTRICT

OF MICHIGAN.

By Judge Phoebe L. Patterson.In compiling this history of fifty

years I have endeavored to use only such material as would be interesting to the women of today. The history of recent years is familiar history and we will speak briefly of those years.

Fifty years ago today the women of Wayne county met in the Methodist church of Plymouth to organize the First District Woman's Christian Temperance Union. This church stands upon the same ground occupied by that building, which was destroyed by fire in 1916. Four unions were represented at this convention, De­troit, Wayne,' Northville and Plym­outh.

The convention lasted two days. The first devotional exercises were con­ducted by Mrs. Mary Davis, of Plymouth Union. Mrs. Davis was the grandmother of Mrs. Mary Hillmer, one of our members of today. Mrs. Clara Frishie, of Plymouth, was ap­pointed recording secretary/ Mrs. Isa­bella Stewart, president of the De-

the saloons, legal suasion was far more effective Ilian moral suasion, and therefore the work was carried into legislative halls, until state and

then state prohibition was written intoour constitutions. How this was accomplished you will learn from Mrs. Calkins in her address on "Our Legislative Work." lr is not necessary to follow the work of the organization through recent years. Organizing new unions, encouraging the old ones, adding to our membership, forward­ing department work under the efficient leadership of state and district directors has for years constituted our regular lines of work. I could devote pages regarding the efforts of the

! women of Detroit to have the sale of ; beer on Belle Isle prohibited, and which required years of petition work to accomplish: to secure the ap­pointment of matrons in prisons, jails and railway stations: policelyomen to visit dance halls and see that they

read h.v Mrs. Gregory, of Plymouth. A ( .,re properly conducted; women to look discussion followed the reading j after the interests of women and girls papers, and Miss Willard is men- ■tinned as taking part in these dis- j---------------------------- -----------------------cussions. Music was furnished by' local talent and the pastors of the^ different churches were introduced. j

Election of officers occurred on the afternoon of the second day of the convention and resulted as follows: j

President—Mrs. Isabella Stewart. IDetroit: corresponding secretary. Mrs.Clara Frishie, Plymouth; recording I secretary. Mrs. Scott. Northville; j treasurer. Mrs. E. L. Beals, I’lym-I outh: vice-presidents, Mrs. Jennie Voorhies, Plymouth: Mrs. Cushing,Detroit: Mrs. Collar, Wayne. J

A committee on circulating leaflets and editing a column in a local paper was appointed. ->

The address on the first evening was given by Miss Willard, of Chicago; the second evening by Miss Fanny McCartney. Miss McCartney was also from Chicago, and at that time was an organizer on the Young Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. The records state, adjourned for one year.Signed: Clara A. Frishie. recording secretary.

Yet. in November. 13th and 14th, of the same year a convention was held in Wayne. At this convention six unions reported—Detroit Central. De­troit Western. Plymouth. Northville.Wayne and Delray. A constitution was adopted. and under finance we find that each union was to pay into the district' treasury one dollar a year for necessary expenses of the district. A prohibition amendment to the state constitution was discussed, and among the resolutions passed was one pledging the unions to work with the reform clubs in circulating peti­tions for this amendment. At that time the reform clubs had a member­ship of about 60.000 in Michigan.Forty-five clubs had been organized in 1877 by Dr. Reynolds, who had been organizing clubs in the east and had been induced by .the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union to come to Michigan for similar work. A large proportion of this membership was re­formed men. I copied the following from the resolution adopted. "That our ultimate aim is aboltlon of the, liquor traffic, and until that shall be secured we recommend to those who; have the power to avail themselves of : the benefits to be gained by the en-| forcement of our present laws.” The j third resolution reads as follows: I "Whereas, the State Agricultural society has suffered its rule prohibit-! ing the sale of intoxicating liquor on j the grounds of the State fair to be violated at the fairs of 1878-1879.Therefore, resolved, that we as citizens of the State of Michigan demand of the executive committee of the State Agricultural society the rigid enforce­ment of this rule at the fair in 1880.“And in 1880 more than forty saloons were opened the first day of the fair.

Mary T. Lathrop, who was then recording secretary of the' state, was in attendance throughout the conven­tion and gave the address on the first

in courts; two homes for girls earn­ing scant wages, where board and room can be secured at rates not ot be had elsewhere, and with efficient matrons in charge, and other activities too numerous to mention in the time at our disposal. In addition to what has been accom­plished in the first district, we, with other women of the state, have, worked for and secured scientific temperance instruction and kindergarten for the Industrial School for Girls atj Adrian; made illegal the ¡sale of tobacco to minors: a flag on every school house: school ballot for women and women on school boards: local option in townships and villages: pro-j vided and paid a temperance mis-j sionar.v in lumber camps and mining towns: a separate prison for women of the state, and at the same time never losing sight of the fact that our ultimate aim was the prohibition of the liquor traffic and equal suffrage for women, until laws granting both were finally written into the state and national constitutions, and during the last presidential campaign all Wa C. T. V. women used every effort to secure the election of a dry president.

There is an old and trite saying that one is never to swap horses while crossing a stream, and ur our or­ganization has always a stream, to bridge, it has been our custom to change officers only when necessary. Therefore, during fifty years we have had only nine presidents—Mrs. Isa­bella Stewart. Detroit, served from Feb. 13. 1879, to November, 1880; Mrs. F. B. Cressey. Detroit. 1880-1884; Mrs. Jenr.ieXVoorhies. Plymouth, 1884- 1894; Mrs. Ajnnie Andrus. 1894-1905; Mrs. Jenniiy Harrington Spencer, 1905-1910: Mrs. Matie Jones. 1910-

-1910: Mrs. Phoebe I,. Patterson. 1916- 1918: Mrs. Lydia McNabb, 191.8-1919: Mrs. Ava Downer. 1919-1929.

The office of corresponding secretary has been filled as follows: Mrs. Clara B. Frishie served from Feb. 13. 1879, to November. 1879. when Mrs. F. B. Cressey was elected and served one year: Mrs. Emery, .of Northville,

¡three years: Mrs. It. W. llall. Flat j Rock. two years: Mrs. Mason. Wayne,

<mc year: Mrs. Brownell. Detroit, one ¡year: Mrs. Clara Frishie. Plymouth, seven years: .Mrs. Belle Rowley.

¡Wyandotte, nine years: Mrs. Jessie Spangler. Detroit, thirteen years: Mrs. P. J. Wilson. Detroit, three years: .Mrs. Elva Crandall. Detroit, three years: Mrs. Gladys Downer. Detroit, seven years.

Rwording swretary from Felt. 13. 1S79. to November. 1879: Mrs. Scott. Northville. Following Mrs. Scott. Mrs. A. C. Abell, of Wayne, served one year: Mrs. Clara Frishie, Plymouth, one year: Mrs. S. R. Harris. Wayn«.

three years; Miss Belle Widner. Wyandotte, three years: Mrs. Annie Andrus, one year: Mrs. A. J. Mor­rison. Detroit, thirteen years; Mrs. Phoebe L. Patterson. Plymouth, twenty-five years: Mrs. D. G. Jones, Detroit, three years.

Treasurer: Mrs. E. L. Beals was elected Feb. 13, 1S79, and servedthirty-five years. During that time Mrs. Beals did not miss a district, con­vention. When she was obliged to re­tire. owing to failing health. Miss Ada Safford, of Plymouth, was elected and served two years. Following Miss Sufford, Mrs. S. E. Campbell, of Plymouth, served three years. Mrs. Annie Winchester. our present treasurer, had served ten years up to November last.

Our list of superintendents of de­partments, or directors, as they are now called, has been subject to fre­quent changes. Yet ye have one, Mrs. Mae E. Butler, who has served as superintendent of medrfl contests for twenty-one years.

Of the fifty conventions held Plymouth has entertained eight; Wayne, five; Northville, six; Flat Rock, three; Wyandotte, eight; High­land Park, two; Redford, one; De­troit, seventeen: the unions entertain­ing alternately in different sections of

I the city.Of the four unions represented at

the organization of the district, Plymouth is the only union that has continued to exist and hold regular meetings during all of the past fifty years: also the only union with mem­bers who have nniintained an active membership during all of that time, and has had at least one member on the hoard of general officers.

In compiling this brief history I have rcfraiiitxl from spin-ial mention of any of our workers. In order to do justice the list would he longer than time will permit. Many are so deserving that their 'faithful service lias earinxl the best plaudit that can lie given anyone.and tini I is "Well done.'

Lawyer Describes Business Genius of General.

New York.—The first American mil­lionaire was George Washington, ac­cording to Eugene E. Prussing, Los Angeles lawyer, formerly of Chicago, who has just completed thirteen years of research into Washington’s career as a business man. Summing up the results of his study in the American Magazine. Mr. Prussing says:

“It is customary to think of Wash­ington as soldier and statesman. He was also a man of business, success­ful farmer, builder of transportation, engineer, pioneer and promoter. He was a man of broad commercial vision and rare business ability. He spent one-fourth of his life In public ser­vice and yet left behind him a record of business achievement and a for­tune that entitles him to be called our first millionaire. He started life with but a few cents of his own. When be died the land and other in­vestments that he directed to be sold were worth, by his own conservative estimate in his wilL $530,000. and this •did not include some of the most valuable portions of his estate.

“To many of us Washington Is a mythical figure, hidden behind fables like that of the self-righteous little boy and the hypothetical cherry tree. As a matter of fact, he was a very different sort of person. He was a man who would have been perfectly

1. Shall water improvement bonds I amounting to $9.000.00 be issued by the village to defray the wist of re­placing iron water services with lead pip«- uixin streets paved during 1928? If issued, these lionds would be riqiaid from water receipts anti not from taxes.

2. Shall the compensation of village j commissioners be increased from $2.90 to $5.00 per meeting attended. with the | maximum Increased from $60.00 to ; $159.00 In any one year? This would require a charter amendment.

3. Shall the charter lx* amended to provide that inspectors of elections lie allowed $5.00 per day and gate­keepers at elections $3.00 per day for their services at elections? Compen­sation at present In $4.00 for in­spectors and $2.00 for gatekeepers.

A Northville salesman. Fred Thornton. 27 years old. is believeil by state i»oliee to have eomnutted suicide yesterday by leading the ex­haust gas of his automobile Into the driver's compartment while the ear sat on the Ridge road between the Seven and Eight-Mile roads.

“THE RIVER PIRATE”

Those who have read “The River Pirate,"by Charles Francis Coe, which recently ran in the Saturday Evening Post and which comes to the Penniman Allen Theatre. Sunday and Monday February 24 and 25. will recall, most of all, that it was, primarily, the story of a boy who never hud a chance until he met the girl who plucked him from a life of crime and brought him back to decency and to her.

The screen rights to this story were

purchased by Fox Films and the di-1 rectorial assignment went to William K. Howard, youthful director, who has surpassed his prior efforts, includ­ing "White Gold," "The Main Event” and other successes.

The central figures are a pair of boon companions, a hard boiled sailor and a mere youth, who team together and engage in river piracy working in the dark of the night and ever pursued by watchful harbor police.

This provides for just a few more thrills than come to the usual motion picture and stresses the old maxim that there is good in everyone if the right spot be touched. Incidentally, it goes far to prove that reform schools do not always reform.

Victor McLaglen plays the stellar role of the river pirate with his com-

panion enacted by Nick Stuart, and Lois Moran as the girl in the case, while Earle Foxe is in the part of the double crossing "shark.”

“THE RED DANCE”Fine story, great cast, artistic direc­

tion and splendid entertainment just about descril>es •’The Red Dance." which comes to the Pennimaü Alleu Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. February 27 and 28. This latest Fox picture is a story of the Russia during the revolution, with Dolores Del Rio and Charles Farrell in the stellar roles. The beautiful Mexican gives probably, her greatest jierformance since her role of Charmaine in "What Price Glory." as the peasant girl who becomes the famous Red Dancer of Moscow and a leader of the Revolution

Charles Farrell is equally effective as Princt* Eugen. whose sympathies are with the jieople. hut who. in the tur­moil of rebellion, is seuterfeed to die before a firing squad..These two young players furnish the romance of the story as well as some of the thrills.

I»ut probably one of the most start­ling discoveries made in pictures in some time is Ivan Linow. a* giant Russian and former professional wiestler. in the role, first of a common soldier and then a "Red" general. I.inow is simply great. The huge man

i would have stolen, the picture from almost any two other players by his remarkable performance. As it is, the trio under the masterly direction of Raoul Walsh, give a performance in this Fox feature that will not soon beforgotten.

There is plenty of action thrills, ■humor and historical interest in this production. Rasputin, the black monk. Trotsky, the czar and his family and other famous characters of the revolution play their parts in this, one of the best pictures seen here in many months.

trying their utmost to break the tie. However, the score remained the same throughout the period, 2-2.

The third proved too much for the Union Trust boys. After four minutes of play in this frame Page secured the goal which broke the tie. Six minutes later he chalked up an­other. With three minutes to go in the final period. Pldgeon stick­handled his way through the for­ward and defense lines and made a clever pass to Page for the fifth counter.Plymouth— Union Trust—Drew -------- „„.Goal __ __ __ PhippsRutherford----- L.

Last Sunday’s contest with PereMarquette ended 3-0 for Plymouth.Page made the first goal on a shot from center ice. Five minutes later he registered another one on a pass from Pldgeon, first period ending 2-0.

In the second period Pldgeon con­ducted another excursion inside the defense area and when he passed to Page nt the proper time the French Canadian slammed it past Bois for the third goal.

No scoring in the third period, though Pere Marquette struggled hard to save a shutout.

Drew performed exceptionally well in goal. Block and Garlett on the forward liiu* played excellent hockey, while Rutherford played his position on defense effectively.Plymouth— P.

Tuesday night was tlie last game for Plymouth in the regular schedule, winning from Christ Church 5-0 on Olympia lee.

The Pitjgeon-Pstge combination started the scoring. Page making the first «me. assisted by l’idgeon. The second counter was from a hard shot by Page. First period, 2-0.

In the second stanza Quirk easily beat the Christ Church goalie on a pass from Page. Dobbs Hipped the fourth tally in the net. receiving the pass from Pidgeon.

Quirk secured the fifth counter on a pass from Pidgeon in the last period. Page let the sixth goal go by when he failed to pass to Block, who had the wide oix’n net.

Plymouth lineup—Drew, goal ;Rutherford, left defense: Pidgeon, right defense: Block, center: Garlett, right wing; Page, left wing; Dobbs, sub ; Quirk, sub : Douglas, sub.

Thè playoff schedule will be made immediately and the series probably will begin the first of the week. The playoff will be on the basis of two defeats and out.

Negotiations have been starred for a United States amateur hockey cham­pionship among championship teams of the Detroit league, Chicago, Buffalo, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. The plans discussed call for a meeting of all five teams in one city at the same time and a tournament conducted similar to the annual sand lot baseball series.

The Plymouth team is going strong and hopes to come out on top in the finals.

In a recent interview the attention of Judge Erngst I*. LaJoie was called to the statement made by one of the Republican candidates for circuit judge favoring life appointment for judges of the Wayne circuit court, and expressed this opinion:

"I am very much opposed to the life appointment of judges or any other public official for the reason that life tenures in public office are decidedly contrary to our American institutions. The theory upon which this govern­ment was founded and under which it has prospered has been the universal ballot. To appoint judges for life is to that extent disfranchising the voter and to a great extent would tend to alienate the affection of the people from the government. The appoint­ment of judges for life would set up a judicial autocracy from, which there would be little escape for the ordinary individual.

"It is very well to say that the ap­pointment would he subject to a series of checks and balances, but what are these checks and balances and who would apply them, or what assurance have the people that they would be applied at all, or what assurance

, have the people, if applied, they would not be applied according to the political dictates of the judge him­self?

"The election system has a leveling influence and tends to keep judges with all their power reminded of the fact that that power is to be used judicially and wisely, otherwise the voters have it in their power to ad- ininister a rebuke.

Proof of Scotch ThriftFound in Bankbooks

Glasgow, Scotland.—Scottish thrift Is not fiction. ,

One of every three of the popula­tion has a bankbook, and savings for 1928 constitute a record, says the an­nual report of the Glasgow Saving3 bank.

The amount due depositors is $120.- 000.000. an Increase of $4.900.000 over last year, while 40.000 “homesafes”— small cash boxes—are In use.

The number of depositors, the vol­ume of business transacted, the bal­ance at depositors’ credit and the banks’ reserve each constitute • record.

"Every inherent right vested in the j citizens at some time or other is sub­ject to a judicial officer, and if he be one who is appointed for life we may well shudder at the hick of re-j sponsiveness io ihe n<liiiinisti'ntioii of ' those rights before a judge who sits upon a throne for lit'«- with no thought

l of the inseeurily of his position which j might result from an abuse of power.! "When we speak of cheeks and j balances we must remember that ihe I greatest «•heck and tin1 most even 1 balance has been maintained ihrougli-

oiu tlie history of this government by j ih«‘ voters themselves. and hen«’ any i plan tending I" disfranchise iheni is a 1 removal of checks and balances, and i that is wore partieuhU'ly true when ' we «insider that tlie judicial branch ! of the government is more powerful

Ilian the legislative or the adminis­trative.

"It may he true tlial ihe voters occasionally make mistakes in their selection of judges, hut after all it is within their power to correct that situation, hut if n mistake is made in the appointment of a judge for life the voters may say neither aye or nay. and correct the .situation one iota. If the present situation contains any evil it may be better to correct it by extending or lengthening the term of judicial officers, hut it. should never under any consideration be taken from, the hands of the voters and placed in any power than those who are to be’ governed by that power.”

In discussing the court situation Judge LaJoie stated that. - in his opinion jurors are required to perform this valuable and patriotic service but are very materially underpaid. “We should not expect citizens to give up their time and energy in performing jury service unless we pay them in a manner commensurate with the valuable services that they render."

1 Townships In Favor of Plan To Join

Wayne County ,

PROPOSED BILL IN LANSING HAS >^’CH Sl'PPORT ABOUT

New Dresses

You should see our splendid line of A-B Gas Ranges, equipped with the Automatic Cook—these are in varying finishes, sizes and styles—of course, at varying prices. For the balance of this month we are making some exceptionally attractive prices and terms.

It will be decidedly worth your while to investigate our offer­ings and let us demonstrate the excellent merits of the A-B Auto­matic Cook.

Michigan Federated Utilities

Surprising as it may seem, from sentiment expressed by many residents of Novi and Farmington townships, there is a very strong sentiment in those townships in favor of the proposed bill which uu»y be intro­duced into the legislature, annexing them to Wayne county and taking them from Oakland county.

During the past few days there lias been considerable discussion around Lansing that a bill might he intro­duced which would provide for the changing of the county lines of Oak­land, Macomb and Wayne counties. The plan is to annex the southern tier of townshii« of Oakland and Macomb counties to Wayne county.

The interests of the townships arc more in Wayne county than in Oak­land county it is jiointed out by some, but the chief reason seems to lie in the taxation question.

Farmers in Oakland county are bur­dened with excessive county tax as

! Well as Covert road taxes. In fact j the road taxes of Oakland county are

, among the highest in the country and the. residents of these townships be­lieve that by joining with Wayne it will be a big saving to them in future taxes.

The plan that has been discussed around Lansing provides for a ratifica­tion by the voters of any annexation bill that might be passed by the legis­lature and if sentiment that has been expressed during the past few days is any indication of what might happen if the measure should he passed and submitted at least the Oakland county townships nearest to this part of Wayne county would vote almost as a unit for the change.—Northville Re­cord.

Opposition to the appointment of judges to life terms in their courts is j living voiced by Julius L. Berns, can­didate for circuit g judge on the j Republican ticket. The proposal to j- chiiugc the terms of the state Const!-1 tution so as to iiermlt the appointment i of judges for life now is before the j state legislature. [

“There are two dangers in appoint­ing judges, instead of electing them to specified terms of office,” said. Mr. Berns. "Both of these dangers hit right at the root of i«ipular govern« menr. One is the fear that the people cannot choose wisely in picking the men to preside over the courts. The other danger lies in the effort to eliminate the provision for a division of governmental authority between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. This division is fundamental in our ideas of popular government.

"Appointment of judges would make them subservient to the executive de­partment which would appoint them, instead of keeping the judiciary in its place in the scheme of affairs. When appointed to life terms there would he no check on judges except the fear of impeuclunetit in case of actual misconduct.

"Personally I feel that the public is much better off in being able to pick out its candidates for nomination and election to the bench. Looking hack over the list, of judges here and through the country at large it seems to me that the public has been able to do a very good job of picking out the right kind of men for the bench, and it has kept them there term after term when they have shown that they merit retention.

“Judges do not run for office on poltical issue,s. hut mostly on their own merits as lawyer* and jurists. In becoming a candidate for tu place on the Wayne circuit bench I feel that I can offer niy record at the bar as my best nsiet in seeking support, and if elected as judge it will he my record on the bench that will qualify me to be kept there. If his record is not good enough to warrant retaining a judge in his position it is only right that the people should have the chance in another election to supplant him with a ne.w judge.”

Mr. P.erns is a specialist in city corporation law and has had much public experience as council for Mel­vindale. Grosso Pointe Park and other municipalities, in addition to his gen­eral law practice. lie is seeking one of the nominations on the Republican ticket for circuit judge to lie made at the primary election March 4.

TWO LARGEST MOTOR COACHLINES FORM GIGANTIC SYSTEM

—TRAVELING 100,000 MILES ~ DAILY—CARRIED 3,400,000

PASSENGERS IN 1928.

Consolidation of two of the leading motor bus transportation companies in the United States has been announced by (). S. Caesar, president of Motor Transit corporation, with headquarters at Chicago, and W. E. Travis, presi­dent of American Motor Transporta­tion company, of San Francisco. The Greyhound lines, operated by Motor Transit corporation, and the Yelloway lines, operated by American Motor Transportation company, are to he united under American Motor Transit corporation to form the largest long distance bus transportation system in the country, representing an invest­ment of over $12.000.000. The com panics' Indies travel over 100,000 miles daily. In 1928 approximately 3,400 - •MKh passengers were carried. Garages ami passenger terminal facilities are maintained in the principal citie-i served.

The Greyhound lines operate daily schedules between practically all of the principal cities of the middle western, central eastern and soul hern states.' Its main routes extending from Chicago east to Detroit. Toledo. Cleveland, Pittsburgh ami New York, and from^Chicago southeast to In-1 dianapolis. Cincinnati. Louisville. Atlanta anil Jacksonville. The Yelloway lines serve the Pacific sea­board from Portland through San' Francisco to Los Angeles, and extend J

across the continent from Los Angeles to New York via Denver, Omaha. Kansas City. St. Ixniis. Indianapolis and Philadelphia.

"Tin* unification of the Greyhound and Yelloway lines." said Mr. Caesar, "should result in improved service to the traveling public through the co­ordination of schedules and the estab­lishment of union terminals at connecting points. Passengers will he able to reach nearly every important city in the United States on the lines of a single system. The transportation of iiassengers over long distances, by motor 1ms has grown rapidly in recent years, hut the industry is still in its infancy. Through consolidations. su<-h as’ the presen/ one and others which have recently taken place, motor bus companies are developing financial responsibility and an oper­ating organization which permit them to supply a carrying service com­parable in efficiency and reliability with that of the other great trans­portation systems."

I grower is badly infected with diseases such as mosaic and leaf roll, and seed

| stocks have now been produced which an* free from these diseases, accord­ing to announcement by plant pathologists at Michigan State College.

These siX'eialists in plant diseases hâve sjient six years in building up a strain of disease-free stock of three varieties of potutoes commonly grown in Michigan. These seed stocks have been built up from single tuber sel«*etions ami as many as 1,000 bushels of the disease-free strains are now available for increase.

It is not ixissihle to keep potatoes free from the virus diseases unless they are kept isolated from other fields where potatoes are grown. Insects which sink plant juices will carry the diseases fitrtu infected plants to healthy ones.

The intention of the plant patho­logists is to maintain a supply of dis­eas«* fret4 seed which will lie available for increase when the s«x*d in itie growers hands lieeonies infected with disease.

The three varieties which have been distributed for increase an* Russet Rurals. Gr«*en Mountains, and Irish Cobblers. All availahl«* s«*ed for 1929 has been distributed but growers who an* interested in getting some of this stock for 1930 should write to J. E. Kotila. botany depart­ment. Michigan State College. East Lansing. Michigan.

Tin* average cold, we are told, cost« $3.30. We suppose the 30 cents is the amusement tax.

Cluster Stripe Neckties

RUMANIA GIVESGYPSIES FREEDOM

Undergraduates in eastern universi­ties are expressing definite prefer­ence for cluster stripe, rep silk neckties. These stripes should not be confused with regimental stripes. Clusters are either group-stripes, wide-set on dark grounds, or all- over stripes broken by a narrow cluster stripe. They represent essential good taste—in a sensible variety of color and stripe arrange­ment.

300,000 Nomad. Will Be As­similated by Nation.

Jassy, Rumania.—Three hundred thousand Rumanian gypsies will be assimilated by Rumania and become an integral part of the Rumanian race.

Thia is one of the great social re­forms inaugurated by Dr. Julius Maniu, Rumania’s new progressive premier. Unlike the gypsies of Hun­gary. Czechoslovakia and Yugo-Slnvia who have bdfen granted citizenship in these countries, the gypsies of Ru­mania are still regarded virtually as slaves.

Up to 1845 gypsy slave markets ex­isted in Rumania. The price of a family of gypsies sold as slaves was about $50. When the United States

{ was struggling with the slave prob­lem during the Civil war Rumania decided to abolish gypsy slavery alto­gether. so that today gypsies are free to live their own unfetXered, nomadic and primitive lives, where and howthey will

Rumania’s large gypsy population is scattered all over the country Large settlements of them are to be found in Moldavia, Walachia and Transylvania. Like their brother gypsies In the United States, they ply their trade as tinkers, blacksmiths, musicians, dancers, soothsayers and horse deniers. Those who cannot find regular employment live by theft and mendicancy.

Unlike the gypsies of Czechoslo­vakia or Hungary, who seem to be a superior caste, the Rumanian gypsies live in great squalor and want.

Although they allow themselves to be baptized in the Christian faith, they really pursue no religion. Their old women practice fortune-telling and are famous fcr their magic and sleight of hand.

America Sets Recordin Road Construction

New l’ork.—No nation has ever gone into road construction at such an amazing pace as has the United States during the last ten years.

Roy D. Chapin, chairman of the highway committee, National Automo- oile Chamber of Commerce, says that In less than ten years the public has

j voted virtually $10,000,000,000 to the construction and maintenance of roads, or enough to defray our cost In the World war, excluding foreignloans.

No public roads improvement in any era has remotely approximated the expenditure of these projects, and It is notable that the feat of raising the money has been accomplished with comparative ease.

During the last year four states, Louisiana, Iowa, West Virginia and Missouri, have voted a total of $2-10,- 000,000 in highway bond issues to fa­cilitate completion of their main state systems.

New York has more high-type high­ways than any other state, with 11,- 000 miles of hard-surfaced roads. Illi­nois leads in cement pavements, with 6.000 miles, while Indiana has the largest mileage of all types of hard­surfaced roads.

Two states have already completed Initial Improvement of all of their roads. These states are Maryland and Delaware.

The Department of Commerce esti­mates that there are 6,500,000 miles of highways In the world, of which more than half are In the United States. When only the Improved roads are considered, the United States has much more than half.

TINY INSECTS SAVECOCONUT GROVES

Fly Is Ally to Man in War on Caterpillars.

Boulder, Colo.—Down in the South seas a battle in the endless war be­tween man and insects has been fought and won without any report of it coming to northern ears. Prof. T. A. D. Cockerell of the University of Colorado tells how a tiny tly co-op­erated with man to save the coconut trees from the caterpillar.

To us, for whom coconut means merely a confection, or, if we be a little more chemical minded, oil for soaps and butter substitutes, it is hard to bring home the importance of coconuts for the brown people of the Pacific. To them the coconut tree means botli food and shelter, fre­quently ropes and clothing, and in ad­dition, nowadays, white men’s trade goods. The coconut has been called, the most useful tree in the world, at' least certainly It is the most useful tree in the tropics.

So when the innumerable sluglike caterpillars of the moth called leva- anna began to eat all the leaves off the coconut tree in Fiji, and threat­ened to spread over the whole South Pacific area, there was consternation. The insect had a host of" natural enemies, but they did not seem too be able to make any Impression on Its swarming numbers.

Then one day the tiny flies of the family tachinidas, a species known as ptychomyia remota, was brought over from the Federation Malay states and turned loose. The tnchinids have a pleasant habit of laying their eggs in the eggs of other insects, and the hungry litttle grubs that hatch otti of them live in the world of natural omelet where they first come to larva- hood until they are ready to fly. The natural result is one more tncliinid. one fewer caterpillar. Another member of this same family Is being tried out most hopefully now in the American corn belt, against the borer.

Ptychomyia made short work of the coconut caterpillar. Within a few months the stripped trees were putting forth new green leaves, young planta­tions are no longer pestered, aud the most prominent industry of the South seas was safe again.

AGE KO BARRIER M : KONJOLA1SIGWEH

CHARGE.Civil War Veteran of 88 Finds New

lease on Life Through New Medicine.

MR. B. II. RANDALL.Remarkable, indeed, are the works

of Konjoki in the cases of those of ad­vanced age. The files of this re- markable remedy fairly overflow vith endorsements from those in the ‘iglities who have found in Konjola

quick and lasting relief when all else had failed.

Take tin* case of Mr. B. H. Randall, 88, of the »Soldiers’ Home, Grand Rapids. Rejoicing over the health that Konjola brought him, this veteran of the Civil war writes:

At SS I was about ready to give up trying ot regain my health and had about resigned myself to sit down and wait for final taps. I was greatly run down; the slightest exertion ex­hausted me. My strength was leaving me rapidly, and I did not respond to any of the medicine or treatments I tried. I had heard and read maay good things about Konjola, and de­cided to see if it would do me any good. It gave me the surprise of my life. Day by day I could feel this wonderful m«*diclne working on my kidneys, liver and stomach. In six weeks I felt well and am enjoying life as I did years ago. In my case Kon­jola proved to be a wonderful system- builder, and I can not but feel that this splendid medicine has added years to my life.’’

Konjola is sold in Plymouth, Mich., at Community Pharmacy drug store and by all the best druggists through­out this entire section.

A Sales RecordFor Graham-Paige

A new high record for salts volume ¡¡tt.iiticd by a new ni:ike of automu- l(ib* in its first year was vivateil by the Grabam-Pnige Motors Corporation in producing cars to a total retail val­ue of limn* than $80.000.t«)tl in 3928. according to an aiinoiiiieeiueiit from lit«* company ng-eived by Floyd Hill­man. t he Grjiha tu-Pai gi* represents- live in Plymouth.

The seeontl year of Graham-Paige finds the company well on its way to creating new records with its line of new sixes and eights, as imlicated by tlie figures for January, when 5670 cars were built, nearly four times the total for January last year. In fact, Graham-Paige is already a full mouth ahead of 3928, as the first month's output this year exceeded the total for the first two mouths of th«' pre- cevding year.

The Graham-Pa ige coinpaiiy has equipped itself to take full advantage of the prestige it has built up. A statement just issued from Detroit, listing its present facilities for the production and the distribution of motor cars, in comparison with this i time last year, shows how fully the company has anticipated the increased demund for its product..

At the beginning of Its second year, the Graham-Paige factory employs 7200 workers, as against 2840 one year ago. Tht* main plant at Detroit, in the last year, was increased in floor area by 360.000 square feet, and now totals 3,063,000, A new body plant at I Evansville, Indiana. 273.600 sqmire j feet, was eroeti'd during 1928. The I year also, saw th«* actpiisitiuH of a I separate plant, in Detroit. 262.000 square feet, for th«* export ¡mil ship­ping (lep.-irtmetits, while tin* body plant at Wayne lias been enlarged to 228.000 square feet. In addition, a lumber mill at Perry, Florida, having 50.000 square feet of floor area, was acquired «luring the year Io supply hardwoods, it» tin* Gmham-Paigt* body plant'. !

Since tin* three Graham brut hers acquired control, tin* daily eapaeirv tif the plants has risen from 3(H) ears a day to 700.

The selling organization «if tin* com- puny has kept pace with the increase' in mannf.-icturing facilities. Graham- Paige is now represented by 2440 «lis- tribulurs ami dealers, ¡is eomp:iretl with 875 at tin- beginning of 1928.

Due of tin* most interesting fea­tures of Graham-Pa ige growth lias been its increasing exports. Last year. G.310 cars were shipped to the world markets outside United States, not Including Canada and Cuba. Dur­ing the year, however, th«* foreign sales organization grew tremendously and increased the number of outlets. That the present year will see great improvement in foreign business is evidenced by the fact that in Jan­uary, 969 nnits were shipped abroad, establishing a new all-time record, having exceeded the previous high mark of 951 shipped during the height of the selling season, in Sep­tember, 1928.

Public acceptance of the latest Gra­ham-Paige models has followed close upon their first showing. A bulletin from the factory reports 515 retail sales at the automobile show in twelve cities, as against 269 in the same shows last year. At Detroit, Rochest­er, Milwaukee, Dallas. New York, and Nashville, this year's show soles more than doubled the 1928 mark.

Ever notice that when a Plymouth citizen wins in a guessing contest of some kind he goes around blowing about what “good judgment" he dis­played?

As a rule the fellow who can "Turn his hand to anything" very seldom does so.

MUTE MASTERSART OF SINGING

Renders Selections With Hands and Facial Emotions.

Milwaukee.—James McArdle sings, hut lie makes no solimi. Ills listeners hear imlliiug, yet they applaud,

MeArtlle, called Mllwitukce's most graceful deaf mute •'singer," makes music with h:s hands, conveying meanings by signs. Deaf and mute since lie was two years old, .McArdle biis mastered his art so that lie now lectures ami sings to mutes in tlie na­tion's largest cities.

Waving his arms to signify a song’s rhythm, McArdle registers musical emotion by facial expressions. The expert deaf mute "singer." he explains, conveys his meaning entirely by signs. .McArdle admits, however, that some­times he is ‘•stumjicd" by a single word having no abbreviated sign, so tie re­sorts to spelling the word. .

“I was fond of songs when 1 was small, though (leaf,” McArdle wrote. *T began to interpret songs into signs when I was twenty years old. My first rendition was ’Nearer My God to Thee.’

“Soon 1 became known and have been invited to sing and lecture In Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chi­cago, Indianapolis and Wichita. Kan."

Last year .McArdle explained Shakespeare’s "Macbeth’* to an audi­ence of Indianapolis mutes. He claims to know most of Chicago's 3.000 mutes.

McArdle, a machinist by trade, was educated at the Pennsylvania Insti­tute for the Deaf.

Membership of ChineseSociety Has Odd Belief

Peking.—The rapi«l growth of the “Buddhistic Brotherhood of Sacred Soldiers of the Virtuous Way," an or­ganization whose members licliev«» bul­lets cannot wound or kill tlietn. is de­scribed by a missiomiry who has jus’ returned from a tour through Szech­wan province in central Cliiiia.

The society is formed of civilians, chiefly farmers, who try to proi«*<-i the people from bam.lits ami lawless sol­diers. They wear red tiirbaiis. red puttees. ¡1 hioad red bell anil a red sash across the left shoulder.

One of the lemh rs told tin* mission­ary that a famous haudil l«*;id«*r name«] “Ilair-Llp Liu" nceiiilv cap­tured some of their men. II«* asked for admission to tb- society for some of his men. Thio told him tin* men must lirst iimliTgo ¡1 tost to see il their hearts were pur«*. So lie appoint­ed several men, and the so«-i«*ty mem­bers hacked them with their swords, killing them.

The bandit became very angry, and ordered lb«' society meiitbers’ heads cut off. But to Ids ¡istonisliment, swords had no effect on'them, and he released them in terror. This belief is simibtr to tlial held before the Boxer uprising in 3903.

The missionary siiys the society ajo pctirs to In* phi’aiilliroiii«-. In vil lages threatened by bandits, every family is supposed to provide one son for the society, and they have suc­cessfully defended many towns. The warlord in Szechwan. Yang S;n. Is reported to liav«* offered $1 each for pairs of cars of tin* society's uiciu- bersu

Mr. Murphy came out of Harvard with si degree of A. B. and from the Boston University Law School with a degree of L. L. D.

THE SENIOR PROM I

NIGHT OF NIGHTSThe Event Was One of The Most Successful

Social Affairs of The Season.

MICE MISCHIEF THE STAFF

The night of nights of the Seniors _ has come and gone—that of the Sen- i ior Prom. After having worked near­ly Incessantly for several weeks making plans for the one big event of the year, the invitations having been sent out, the orchestra secured, the flowers made, the programs printed and .various other things having been accomplished, the Seniors waited eagerly for the time when they could see the decorated auditorium.

A peaceful English garden greeted the eyes of every couple who entered through an old fashioned turn-stile into the high school auditorium last Friday evening. Dainty yellow, pink, and lavender wisteria hung down around the sides of the auditorium forming an arbor under which chairs and divans were placed. Trellises entwinted witli English morning glories transformed- the doorways and radiators giving a quaint atmosphere to the place. On one side of the stage a minuture fountain bubbled and flowed over a pile of stones around which were placed pots of flowers. A green light shed its soft glow, making the wet stones simrkle. Above a blue say swung low with stars hanging from it. Low on the stage a moon cast its mellow glow over the orchestra. Two blue ami two rose-colored flood lights in each corner of the room and many vari-colored lights around the room lent soft coloring to the scene. A ! large yellow light made to move back j and forth played ni»oii the dancers all evening. Could that garden have been just a plain auditorium? The whole scene reminded one of the song:" ’Twas an old fashioned garden Just an old fushloucd garden.But it carried me backTo that dear little shack In tlie land of long ago."

The music seemed wonderfully soothing after a trying day of work decorating, «‘specially to the seniors. To music <<t' perfect rhythm and bar- mon\ il younger generation and) their elders as well, danced all eve- ; ning. The popnlar fox-trots and i waltzes and even one or two old 1 favorites which Barton's Oklahomians ! played so well were thoroughly en- ! joyed. About eleven o’cloek the Grand March was announced. Elmore Carney, the class president, with his I guest Miss Velma Petz led the march. After them came the other class offi- ' cers and their guests followed by i the other couples. A pleasing sight it was to see the gaily dressed girls as these ami their escorts wound their, way around the gardeu and out into the halls and hack finally to an end near the stage where each couple re­ceived a package of serpintines.

Punch ami wafers were served from a table placed in a gateway on one side by three senior girls in quaint old fashioned dresses.

Girls with dainty. green, pink. rose, blue, yellow and orchid dresses ruffled and frilled enough to satisfy the heart of any girl, flitted about like so many gay butterflies. And among these rainbow colors, demure black dressed could be seen adding a certain quiet­ness to the scene.

As the orchestra played the last piece—a waltz of old-fashioned selec­tions—ending with Good Night laidies and Home. Swept Home, the couples began to leave proclaiming the eve- ning perfect.

Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hubert. Mr. and Mrs. 1\ II. Deal. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Petz. Dr. and Mrs. L. Peck. Mr. and Mrs. George Bentley. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burrows, and Mrs. Bessie Dun­ning acted as chaperons for the Prom. The teachers present wen': Miss Wells. Mr. ami Mrs. G. Crumble. Miss Schmid, and Mr. and Mrs. Carr patrons of the class, and Miss Schra­der, Miss Cooper. Miss Patterson. Miss Hadley. Mr. and Mrs. Dyke- house. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. Mr. and Mrs. Matherson.

The second grade has started work on the third group of number facts.

Thirteen pupils of this grade were found to have perfect teeth.

James De Mond is a new member of the B kindergarten.

The pupils of this class are going to give two plays at the next Parent Teachers’ association meeting.

In the first grade group one has I finished the Elson Chart and is now reading in the Primer.

Dorothy • Hammond is back with her school-mates after having been ill for a long time.

In language class the fourth graders are making Washington and Lincoln booklets,

Donald Uoole has returned to Il- third grade after having had the mumps.

Betty Moulton and Eliza1»eth Sock* ow received the highest score in the sjH'lling test.

The A first grade is trying very hard to have one hundred j»er cent in attendance.

The children of the B-second and Il- third grades have recently been weigh­ed and measured. Nine people were found to have perfect weight.

Three names have lieen added to the list of people having perfect teeth. They are: Gene Hanst. Arthur Stroll and Betty I’arkec.

The A-sixth grade has started a new spelling chart. The captains are \ ivian Towle and Claude Cummings. Vivian's side is ahead.

The children of this room had a Valentiiie parry on Tuesday night. Games were played and prizes were, awarded. The fifth graders are 22 points ahead of the sixth in spelling. Betty Moulton and Billy Petz are the captains of the teams.

The children in the A-secoud grade had a very pleasant Valentine's party. They heard the story of the origin of St. Valentine's and sang the Valen­tine songs which Miss Schrader taught them. The most important event of the party was the distributing of the large box of Valentines.

On Tuesday each member of Miss Fenner's room broadcasted to the class something about Lincoln. Jack Gordon composed a poem. The fol­lowing is one stanza of it.

Why is it that a mouse, a tiny little gray bit of fur. can instill so much fear in some of the feminine sex who are a hundred times larger and could crush It at one blow? It is funny, but it is true—and isn’t truth stranger than fiction? Last week in assembly while Rollln Pease, the bass-baritone, was entertaining us. it happened that Miss Schrader was sitting in the front row beside Mr. Emens. Now, she would have liked to give all of her attention to Mr. Pease, being music teacher and loving music, but an inquisitive little mouse poked its head from the cold air ventilator. Now. he was a very friendly creature and so began to creep out towards a crust of bread which lay near Miss Schrader. As I said before, she wanted to pay atten­tion. but how could anyone If he had to hold his feet up in the air? It is difficult—-just try it. If he came too «•lose, in answer to her whispered en­treaty. although grinning mightily. Mr. Emens would stamp his foot, at which the mouse would retreat a little. The tense feeling, of course, reached to the nearest seats, causing a little merriment, but Miss Schrader doubtless felt much relief when she could finally leave.

PLYMOUTH AT FARMINGTON

Playing their ninth game of the season, Plymouth High school will clash with Farmington in a basket hall game Friday, Feb. 22 (tonight), at 7:00 o'clock on Farmington floor.

Farmington won the first contest from Plymouth in a liard-fought battle by a low score of 10 to 9. The Rocks want to finish the season with an average of 500 in the final league standings, and to do this they must win tonight. With your backing the , team will do their very best. Two I

| games, first at 7:00 o'clock.

CHEERINGSQUAD

A change in the lineup for cheer leaders has taken place. Russell Wallace has been put in for Donald Bronson. Here Is the new lineup. Most of the leaders are veterans:

Chase Willet, Marvin Partridge, | Janies Stimpson. Frank Learned.Rdssell Wallace.

The new yell, "Little Tiger, Big Tiger," has met with a big success. The squad will probably bring out some more original cheers this year.

It is partly through their efforts in getting cheers out of the crowd that Plymouth has had good luck in win­ning games. The auditorium has rang time and again at these rooters’ instigation.

This is the first year that the cheer leaders have been banded together in a club. It certainly has worked out splendidly. So here’s a yell for them:

Yea cheer leaders!Yea clicer- leaders!Yea cheer lenders!

Lead ’em. lead ’em. lead 'em!

General Assembly

Rollin Pease, with his daughter as accompanist, entertained us at a special assembly on Thursday. He is a bass-baritone soloist and was for­merly with the Washington National Opera company.

A short, talk was given by Mr. Pease on the origin of music, and as he gave this talk he illustrated it with songs. There are three sources and types of songs. They probably originated in the churches. At first the words would be sung on a single note, then "curves” would be Inserted to break the monotony of tone. Traveling minstrels as they went from town to town would interpret the sounds of nature as they under­stood them into song. And as these were never written and were handed down from generation to generation variations crept in that tended to make these more beautiful. Songs that originate with the people are called folk songs. Usually these portray the life and work of the peasants.

Among his songs were examples of each type. Kohl Negri, a Jewish hymn of atonement that is still used in the synagogues, the offertory of the mass, and the liymn of Saint John, all are examples of church music. An Italian minstrel song of the early centones perfected by ninny people during its descent to us was sung for the second type. The Volga Boat Man. a song of the Russian peasants, has its tempo written in rythm. with the type of work the boat men did. A South Carolina levee song was another illustation of folk song. Mr. Pease’s repertoire con­tained many that would appeal to the various types of audience he sings to.

It is only recently that Mr. Pease has been available to the schools and colleges of the School Assembly asso­ciation. This entertainment is the first of two interesting special assemblies that have been obtained. A nationally known athlete w5M Apeak at the second assembly.

Second Team Wins From Dearborn

Reserves 12-10

Displaying a smashing attack and a strong defense, the Plymouth second team defeated the Dearborn five, 10 to 12. Though in the lead by several points in the first quarter and i part of the second. Dearborn failed to keep it and the Blue and White goal was never seriously menaced thereafter. The final score was 10 to 12.

As at Dearborn, the second team won and the first team lost In both games Dearborn had taken the lead, but each time Plymouth reorganized and piled up enough points to beat them.

Before an audience of approxi­mately 200 Trenton school children, Trenton High won the first eliminina- tion «lebate from Plymouth High school on a technicality,. The ques­tion for debate is: Resolved. That a Federal Subsidy for the Development of an American Merchant Marine would be a wise National Polley.’’ On the fact that Plymouth, who had the negative side of the question, offere«! a substitue for th«* subsidy, and so doing.

Tilt? debate started at 5:imi o'clock. Preceding it t,h«- Trenton High School orcln‘sti-a, of about 40 pieces, offered two well-played classical selec­tions. Miss Helen Knox, a Trenton teacher, formerly of Plymouth, acted as chairman.

Although l’lyniouih was eliminated in the first elimination debate, the Plymouth High school students do not consider the season nil unsuccessful one, for the cxjiormnccs gained by the debaters more than made up for the loss of the debate. The debate team this year was made up of Alice. Gil­bert. Ruth Root, ltllea Pack. Harold Iluiiert, seniors, and Lester Italy, sophomore. The first league debate was held Nov. 16. 1921. in the Plym­outh High school auditorium, with Ecorse High school, in which Plym­outh -upheld the affirmative side. The Plymouth debaters were Ruth Root, Alice Gilliert and Harold Hubert. We won a unanimous decision, gaining four points towards entering the elimination series. The second league debate was three weeks later, with Itearborn at Dearborn. Again Plymouth had the affirmative and the team was Rhea Peck. Harold Hubert and Alice Gilbert. This was the only split decision debate of the year. Plymouth winning two-one. for a total of seven jioints for th<* elimination scries. B«*twe««n the stvoml and third debates Plymouth changed sides, from the affirmative t<> I he negative. The I bird debate was held Jan. 11, 1929. with Clawson, at Plymouth. The team was Harold Hubert, Ruth Root and Alice Gilliert. Again Plymouth wsm a unanimous decision, making a total of 11 jKiints for the elimination series and almost insuring our entry in the eliminations. The fourth and last of th«* preliminary debates was held Jan. 25. with Visitation High, of Detroit, at Visitation. Again the team was Ititrold-Hubert, Ruth Root and Alice Gilbert, and again Plymouth won a unanimous decision and entered the elimination series with 15 points, an almost perfect record. Then came the eliminations, and, as related in the first of this article, Plymouth lost the first to Trenton High school.

So closes the debating Reason of 1928-29. a rather successful one, in spite of the early elimination of Plymouth, because the Plymouth team raised its reputation for good sports­manship and also for debating in all «if the schools which we met.

Indicate Presence of OilThe Geological survey says that an

anticline is an upfold in rocks, and Buch a fold In deposits, that are burled beneath formations ot more recent geological age that were not subjected to the folding, cannot be detected at the surface. Such upf olds—called “anticlines”—are regarded as favor­able to the accumulation of oil and It Is for this reason that oil prospectors endeavor to locate such structures.

Y ears but Add LustertoName of Washington

On the anniversary of the birth of George Washington, a national holi­day. and one that inspires and ini pels a new consecration to the ideals and Institutions of a free and inde­pendent government, bought with the blood of patriots, ii is lilting that a review of the life ami works of tin's great American be made in every home and before every group.

History presents us with few char­acters so worthy of admiration and esteem. It presents us with few lives—despite detractors who. in the early days of the Nineteenth century, published so-called intitnale cameos that were manifestly fictitious-so worthy of emulation.

Outstanding among the errors and absurdities of so-called biographers are those in the ‘'Life of George Washington," writ;en by Rev. Mason L. Weems and published the 'year after the death of the "rather of Ills Country.”

No one, not even so great and pow­erful a man as Washington, could entirely live down in history the rep utation of a goody-goody prig with which the well-meaning but over-offi­cious Scottish divine smothered him

The cherry tree story—fiction of the whole cloth—has had but few rivals In publicity, and has done Hip memory of this great man of red blood and unflagging courage more harm than good.

The Real Washinflton. IFortunately, as the generations |

have come and gone, the real Wash j Ington—the Washington who was the leading figure of thought and Judg raent In the Continental congress who led with spirit and masterful generalship the army of the Revolu­tion. who guided the building of the tenets of faith in a new governmental structure—the federal Constitution— who for two terms served as the first President of the United States—

Fortunately, the real Washington has stood out stronger and greater— as a warrior, as an executive, as a constructionist, as a patriot, as a man, as a force In moral leadership —as the years have passed.

In generations yet unborn he will grow rather than shrink In universal appraisement

The mental gifts of George Wash­ington were not of the dazzling kind. His talents were not overbrilliant. And yet his good Judgment, founded upon an Inborn wisdom, was forceful

and appealing. He was not an ora­tor. like Patrick Henry, who labored with him for a repeal of the Iniqui­tous stamp act. lie was not as dash ing and as Impulsive as either John Hancock or Samuel Adams. And yet both of them, during the intense stress aud the excitement of the proceed­ings ot the Continental congress, turned to Washington for his thought­ful advice and deliberate conclusions. , and Adams from the floor declared the quiet, almost silent leader ‘‘the j unerring son of Westmoreland"— , George Washington having been horn i in Westmoreland county on February j 22. 1732.

Deserved Immortal Title.This was in September. 1774. All !

of (he Colonics were represented at ' the firm except Georgia. The peo- , pic of that slate were in deep sym- palliy with the congress, but I heir royal governor prevented ihe appoint­ment of delegates.

Washington was a man of unusua I power because his trails of cliarac | ler were so finely proportioned and , ad.iiHleil and so liruily controlled h'v j a I,<tii|c will and fine moral facuhv I lie co:;|d wlfln-laml alike disaster I ami nbb-ipiy. He could reject lb:- j promptings of ambition. lie was ; honed b.\ Imt «me aspiration — to pm mole i lie good government of lii- coumry ami the happiness and pros I peril.v of the people. He well <le ' served the noble title that will ,r< will) his name throughout the ex pause of human history.

Just a word about the origin of Washington, his personal life, am! his career as a soldier, a statesman. ami as an executive—

lie was the grandson of John Washington, who emigrated in 1059 from Northamptonshire. England, where the family had been of high social and financial standing. His grandfather acquired great land hold­ings along the Potomac, and high so­cial aud public position. The ances­tral home was inherited-by Augustine Washington, who was the father of George and five other children. George Washington became Interested in surveying and while a mere lad surveyed the great Fairfax estates. He later surveyed the proposed canal route between St. Marys. Georgia, via SL Marks. Florida, and to the Missis­sippi river. In time,, he Inherited the great Mount Vernon estate from an older brother. He became active In Colonial military life and was quick­ly promoted to colonel.

Won Important Point.When orders came from the Brit­

ish crown that any English field offi­cer should be superior to a Colonial officer, even of higher rank. Colonel Washington took the Issue direct to General Shirley, the commander-in­ch I ef. and won.

Michigan's Many LahaaIn addition to Lake Michigan, there

are said to be more than 6,000 lakes In the state of Michigan.

After his military career ns a Colonial officer he was elected to the house of burgesses of Virginia.

In 1755 he married Mrs. Martha Custis. the wealthiest widow In Vir­ginia. and for several years lived quietly as a great planter at his home overlooking the Potomac, and the marsh lands of the great capi­tal city which now henrs his name

In 1773 he again became active in public affairs as a member of the Williamsburg con vent ion, which as­serted ihe right of the Colonies to self government. He then declared the cardinal principle that, taxation and representation could not be just­ly separated.

Great in Military Leadership.On June 15, 1775. Colonel Washing­

ton was elected by the Continental congress the conimander-in-chlef of the Americun forces. He assumed command with the declaration that he did not feel himself equal to the task, hut, with a consecrated will to break the Fr!::-h yoke, he went quietly into the mobilization of his forces ami into the manner of tl.eir training and equipments.

The ha tile of Bunker Hill had al­ready taken place with much credit to the patriots, but the military forces were without leadership or discipline. He brought order out of chaos.

It Is unnecessary here to go Into the history of the war—the great con­flict between two master generals, Washington and Cornwallis. The odds were agaihst General Washing­ton. He conquered and he was con­quered. lie never flinched. His suf­ferings. along with his men. were in­tense. The story of Valley Forge will always live in the sympathetic hearts of Americans.

He finally won through generalship, for even British historians have de­clared Washington the strongest and ablest warrior of his day and genera­tion. He was not a meteor of war. tike Alexander or Napoleon, but a military genius.

Masterly “Farewell."After the smokes of the Revolution

cleared with the victory of the patri­ots. the constiutional convention met in 1787, and he was chosen its presi­dent From this came the federal Constitution, which Gladstone de­clared to be the soundest code of or­ganic laws ever framed In any na­tion. He was unanimously elected President of the newly created Union and he declared In acceptanoe that he did so with more diffidence and reluc­tance than he ever experienced be­fore. He was re-elected in 1792.

When the Pinckney town hall was built, in 1K83, there was placed in the corner stone and securely sealed up. a quart of whiskey, a silver dollar, and a Detroit Free Press. The other night, some party shouldered a pick and attempted to crumble away the foundation of the building, hut was frightened away wlien a resident heard the noise and investigated. It’s a safe guess he wasn’t after exercise —probably the "pre-war stuff." which is now’ more than 45 years old and quite valuable.

L. C. Stearns, of Plymouth, an­nounced the early part of this week that he will open a fiorai store in the Bradcr building, lie is moving his family to Northville from Plymouth and intends to have one of the most up-to-date fiorai display rooms in this section.

A deed 239 years old is in the pos­session of a woman ¡it Brighton. It was given by three Indian chiefs for 500 acres of land. Their signatures were made by the print of their thumbs In sealing wax followed by the words. “His Mark." The intro­duction to the deed reads "This in­denture made on the fourth day of August, 1090, in the second year of the reign of our Lord and Lady, by the Grace of God. King William and Queen Mary.” This king and queen among the last of the Stuarts, were on the throne of England at the time the deed was written.

The grading for the widening of the Seven Mile road from Farmington road to Northville has nearly been completed. The paving is to be wid­ened to 40 feet, a ten foot strip of concrete will be laid on each side of the present paving. Workmen have been busy all winter making the nec­essary cuts and fills. Drain tile were necessary over a good portion ol the road. An effort is being made by the county road commission to save as many trees as possible. In some places large concrete forms are being constructed so that the necessary earth filling will not kill some of the trees.—Northville Record.

Michigan farmers have a greater in­terest in dairy building equipment which will Increase the milk produc­tion of their dairy herds than in equipment to insure their own protec­tion from attacks by enraged balls, if the questions asked by farmers at a series of meetings In Tuscola county can be accepted as a gauge.

The 255 farmers who attended the Tuscola county meetings wanted to get Information on better types of cow stalls and to learn how to In­stall ventilating systems in their dairies, according to reports by M. S. C. agricultural engineers.

A special truck exhibits models of milk houses, types of cow stalls, milk cooling tanks, ventilating systems, and a safety bull pen at these meetings. Plans and specifications for building any of these are given to farmers who request them at the meetings.

The type of cow stall which attracts the most interest is the modified Hoard stall, which is designed to keep the animal cleaner than was possible with the old type of stall. In this stall, the cow is tied with a halter or chain and has;to step forward to eat or to lie down.

The truck which carries these models will visit fifteen Michigan counties before June first. County agricultural agents In those counties have arranged the time and the loca­tion of local meetings.

VOODOOISM OF MANY CULTS GRIPS CUBA

Find Right Cat Bone and You Are Invisible.

Havana, Cuba.—Mystic voodoo rites practiced In many parts of the United States have been linked by recent in­vestigation with the cult of Nanlgolsm in Cuba.

Comparative analysis of African sacrificial customs have furnished un­usual evidence that both had a com­mon origin In the Congo Jungles and that voodoolsm reached the American continent by the importation of slaves from Cuba and Haiti.

"Obeah,” a mild form of voodoolsm. is practiced In Cuba and the British West Indies with virtually identic ceremonies. Negroes who came io la­bor in Cuban sugar cane fields bate brought to this Spanish-speaking is­land not only the Obeah but also the far more terrible and sanguinary rite of Nanigo. The high priests and priestesses of these cults have shown great powers of resistance to the sup­pressive measures of the police.

Cuba lias dealt severely with voo- dooistr.. and it is believed that its more ghastly forms have been eliminated. It was largely in connection with the government's campaign against Obeah- ism and Nan.lgoism that measures were adopted curtailing the Immigra­tion of illiterate workers from Haiti and Jamaica.

Takes Criminal Aspect.Cuba has’’ been particularly con­

cerned because voodoolsm here takes on a criminal aspect entirely exclu­sive of I he possibility of human sacri­fice. In Oricnte province, which lies nearest Haiti, the voodoo priests of that island wield large powers. In other parts of the island Nanlgolsm is dominant among the negroes who take tlieir religion in this form.

Nanlgolsm is a combination of devil worship and gang spirit. Its priests promise occult powers to law break­ers. and members of this cult are pledged to render all possible protec­tion and assistance to each other.

As far as can be learned the sym­bolism of the cults is very similar. Ail include the sacrifice of roosters, black eats, gouts and other animals. Cuban police records show cases where the perpetrators of murder in connection with voodoolsm have been brought to justice, hut it is claimed that this type of sacrifice has been eradicated.

Havana newspapers continue to chronicle cases of Nanigo outrages committed against those who have in­curred the enmity of the gangsters. It has been found that there is always some ojie willing to carry out the priests' orders, because a Nanigo neophyte fails of membership unless he has one capital crime to his credit.

At Nanigo funerals a black rooster Is slaughtered In the home of the de­ceased. The fowl is then presented to some neighboring non-Nanigo family as a warning.

Cat Bone Is Charm.One of the strangest superstitions

in the Haitian cult is that a certain bone in a black cat’s body will confer Invisibility to its possessor. The rite takes place in the presence of three witnesses, and the cat is thrust into liol water. It Is related by voodoolsts that supernatural manifestations, such as thunder and lightning, are on ac­companiment of this process.

In the early years of the Nineteenth century Jean La Fltte, famous pirate of the Spanish Main, frequently brought slaves to Cuba and the United States. His principal market in the United .States was New Orleans and this fact is now being used to explain (he par­ticularly close similarity between the viuiilooism of Cuba and that of the lower Mississippi valley.

There is a tradition that La Fitte’s entourage included several African “conjur doctors."

The successors of these doctors to­day have considerable knowledge of herbs and the curative properties of plant Juices. In general they are em­ployed to effect cures, but with other herbs the doctor-priests are said tp be able to cause temporary or perma­nent loss of memory to their enemies. This belief appears substantiated by the recent discovery by United States marines In Haiti of a colony of ne­groes, dazed or hypnotized, working under their task roasters on a planta­tion.

Priests frequently claim the power to take on animal or reptile form. This recalls the African "leopard” su- pemtition where a certain clan were credited with power to turn them­selves into leopards and prowl the jungle at night

George Washington, In whose honor our inimitable national cnpitnl was named, wanted more than all else to rank us the leading farmer and agri culturist nt the New world. His hob by was scientific farming. Of all the books in his extensive.library, those which related to agriculture were most read. j

Our first President cherished the desire to spend his days at Mount Vernon, where he could experiment with seeds nnd plants imported from J foreign fields. Be wished to solve I the perplexing problems of die Vfr ginia planter. He aspired to develop Mount Vernon Into the finest plnnta- * tioti and stock farm in the yvestedf hemisphere, according to George H Ibiey, writing In the Washington Star.

Eminent American architects who have made careful studies of the con­struction of Mount Vernon's mansion say that the house as completed by Washington was built to withstand seven to eight centuries of service. The frame of the home consisted of himd-iiewn white oak timbers which were Joined together wilh wooden dowel pins instead of spikes. The foundation was built to endure as long as the rock of ages. Some of the sandstone walls date back to the days of Augustine Washington. It Is probable that 700 years from now the mansion will still be standing as a cradle of history and shrine of patriotism.

Symbolic of Masonry.Perhaps at some time or other

when you have visited MouDt Vernon you have been Impressed by the me­thodical arrangement of the barns, spinning house, kitchens, office gar­dener's house, seed and Icehouses, carpenter shop, laundry, smokehouse and other outbuildings. History be­lieves that George Washington, the leading Mason of his day, designed the layout of his estate buildings to represent the outlines of Masonic symbols. The modern blrdman who flies his plane low over Mount Ver­non may be able to recognize the curious insignia scrolled Id structures of brick and wood.

Even though Mount Vernon were not the former home of one of the world's greatest generals and one of America's most beloved Presidents, it would still merit historical preserva­tion ns an example of superior Coloni­al architecture and an illustration of successful scientific farming. George Washington devoted many years of study ami effort to the perfection of his Potomac plantation. He builded so uell and wisely that modern plan ners and designers do not err when tney copy some of Ids schemes and nrriingemenis. In ihe Chicago sub/ urhs tin American millionaire has a

See the Patriot's task completed; Hear the Father's dying voice t

“By the name that you inherit,B? the sufferings you recall.

Cherish the fraternal spirit;Love your country first of all I

Listen not to idle questions If its bands may be untied;

Doubt the patriot whose suggestionsStrive a nation to divide."

—Oliver Wendell Hohnes
