ance in North
BECAME SEPARATED
FROM OTHER HUN TERS
Missing Since Nov. 15-Woods
Swept BY Terrific Blizzard
Following Day

Nearly frantic over the disappear
ance OF his son in the woods near
Newberry, Mich, Walter Shattuck, OF
No. 600 Forest-ave. west, is planning
to organize searching party here, to
go north and join in the man hunt
that has been in progress since Rob
ert Shattuck disappeared, Sunday,
Nov. is.
The latter, dealer in motorcycles AT
Forest and Fourteenth-aves., was
hunting deer. with w. W. Baker, and
the latter's two sons, OF Clyde, Mich.
He is 2S years old. He became sep
arated from the rest OF the party,
Sunday, and they searched for him,
Sunday night, in vain. The next day,
terrific blizzard swept the woods,
and no trace of Shattuck has been
obtained since.
Walter Shattuck says that two men
from Pontiac, who had been hunting
near the Shattuck camp. and returned
recently, called at his store when
they heard that Robert was lost in
the woods. They said that they had
seen Robert on one of the trails, some
distance from his camp, Monday but
paid little attention to the incident
as they did not know that he was be-
ing sought by searching parties. The
clerk in the Shattuck store, failed to
take the aames OF the Pontiac men,
and Walter Shattuck is very anxious
to get into communication with them.

UTLEY TELLS OF LIFE
ABOARD BATTLESHIPS

S. Wells Utley, of the Detroit Steel
Castings Co.. lieutenant in the Michi-
gan Naval Reserves, gave a very in
teresting and instructive talk, Illus
trated by stereopticon views, before
the Business Mems Bible class OF the
First Congregational church, Sunday,
telling of experiences aboard United
States battleships.
Mr.. Utley was assigned the duty
Of navigator on the battleship Utah,
during the Mediterranean cruise
which had been promised the enlisted
men, as an inducement FOR them To
join the navy. He declared that the
popular conception OF the sailor as
an illiterate, rollicking, drinking man
is entirely erroneous The freedom
from disorder, the happy life, and the
industry of enlisted men were every
where evident, he declared.
The food, Mr., Utley stated, was su.
perior to that which the average
working man on shore enjoys. In
speaking OF the efficiency OF modern
navies, he said that one superdread-
naught OF today is worth more, as a
weapon of war, than the entire feet
of 1898.
Mr.. Utley emphasized the value of
the training to the young men in our
Naval Reserves for fitting them for
active service in the United States
navy should an emergency arise

WILL ASK RULING ON
STATE MOVIE FILM LAW

Byres II. Gitchell, secretary of the
Detroit Board OF Commerce, has gone
to Lansing TO obtain from the state
fire marshal ruling as to the scope
OF the state law regulating the use OF
moving picture films.
The, law, as IL now stands, prohibits
the exhibition OF moving pictures ex-
cept on the ground floor OF any build
ing. At the time this law was passed
the present educational films were
seldom manufactured.
Secretary Gitchell, In aiding the
Safety First campaign In Detroit,
had planned to arrange for the exhibit
ton of series Of educational films in
churches and schools, but found that
he could not do SO under the law as,
in many instances. they would have TO
be shown in upper rooms.
The films to be shown here are not
infiammable and he hopes to induce
the state fire marshal to allow him to
exhibit them in the interests of the
Safety First" cause.
