ANTI-ClGARETTE ORDINANCE
Meets With Approval of improvement
Association-Other Organi.
tions viii Act.

By unanimous vote the members
OF the Improvement Association went
on record Tuesday as in fovor of the
passage by the City Commission of an
ordinance prohibiting the sale of cigar
cites or the smoking of cigarettes by
minors on the streets or in public places
in the city, making both punishable by
a fine or imprisonment. along the line
of the Lansing ordinance published in
our last issue. Several other organiza.
tions in the city will also endorse the
move and request the Commission to
pass an ordinance at an early date.
There is now pending in the legislature
a bill to this same end but as it cannot
become a law for several months, If 1t
passes, it seems best to take action
without delay. The city ordinance
would make it the duty Of the local
police officers to enforce its provisions
and this fact alone who have a de.
terrent effect on the small boys who
are now becoming addicted to the use
of cigarettes.
In this connection it is not amiss to
call attention to letter from Thos. A.
Edison, the world noted electrical gen.
ius, to Henry Ford of Detroit. Mr..
Edison says:
1.-THE injurious agent in cigarettes
comes principally from the burning
paper wrapper. The substance thereby
formed .is called 'acroein.' 1t has a
violent action on the nerve centers,
producing degeneration of the sells of
the brain. which is quite rspid among
boys. Unlike most narcotics this de
generation is permanent and uncon
trOllable. / employ no person who
smokes cigarettes

Death of Mrs. E. r. Dudley.

After very brief sickness Mrs. E. f.
Dudley !passed away late Thursday
afternoon at the family residence on
Oliver street west, During the fall
months She was seriously sick for some
time with peritonitis and had only re-
Gently been able to get out little but
seemed to be gaining strength slowly
aud her recovery to health was antici-
pated. The last of the week she was
taken with an attack of tonsilitis, fol-
lowed the first of this week by a
recurrence of the old trouble with the
result stated.
The deceased was born in this city
October 81, 1860. the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. David Gould, who were
among the early settlers of the city, and
her entire life was spent here. She
gra1uated from the local high school
with the class of 1878, taught school in
st. Charles and Owosso for several
years and served as deputy county
treasurer under Albert Todd, In No.
vember, 1892, che was married to E.
F. Dudley, who with the son, Harry, of
this city, and the daughter, Mrs. Anna
Sibley Of Pittsfield, Mass, her aged
mother, Mrs. Mary l.. Gould, and her
brother Edwin A. Gould, survive her.
Mrs. Dudley was woman of charm
ing personality, who won and held the
esteem of very wide circle of friends
by her many excellent qualities. She
was prominent in the charitable work
of the city and did her full part in
organizing and carrying on the work of
the Dorcas home. She was also active
in the work of Christ Episcopal church
and its several organizations, the Cur
rent Topic Club, the local chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo
luton, serving all in various capacities.
1t ican be truly said that her life was
we'll spent and that her going has
brought sadness to many homes in the
city. One of the saddest features is the
grief of the aged mother who is in very
feeble health.
Funeral services will be held from
the Dudley Apartment at 2 p. m.

Spring Shooting Of Migratory Birds
Absolutely Prohibited.

From the Weekly News Letter of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
From the number of letters which
they have received on the subject re-
Gently, officials of the department
believe that sportsmen may uninten-
tionaly violate the provisions of the
Federal migratory bird law, which it is
the purpose of the Government to en-
force rigidly. Under the provisions of
this law no waterfowl can be shot in
the northern or breeding zone after
January 10, except in New Jersey,
where the season extends to February
1 In most of the southern or winter
ing zone the season closes February /,
but extends to February IL in Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina. These
regulations were proclaimed on October
1, 1914. No change has since been made
in them and no change is likely to he
made until the constitutiohality of the
law has been passed on by the United
States Supreme Court. AS matter of
fact, the law provides that all changes
in the regulations must be considered
for period Of 80 days, and then must
be approved and signed by the Presi-
dent before they become effective. It
is thus evident that there is no poss-
bility that the prohibition of spring
shooting will be in any way modified
this year
The officials of the department who
are intrusted with the enforcement of
the law are anxious that these facts be-
impressed upon the people because it is
the intention to investigate carefully
all reports of violations made to the de.
partment inspectors and wardens and to
prosecute all such violations in the
Federal courts In this connection it
is pointed out that prosecutions may be
instituted here at any time within three
years of the offense.

pugnacious air and physical vigor is ap.
parent. These, like the sanguine type,
are subject to moods and once offended,
may never forgive. They have the
stubborn characteristics of a mule but
are born to be leaders of men.
THE feshy children belong to the
phlegmatic or sluggish type. They
generally possess gray eyes and an even
temperament. While these pupils are
persistent they are apt to try the
patience of the teachers beyond en-
durance. General U. s. Grant had
some of the characteristics of the phleg-
matte type and some of those of the
bilious type
AT this time Prof. French spoke of
the necessity of fighting men for the
future. Those of the phlegmatic type
are those who make the foot ball team
and are i'll the game to the last play.
These pupils should be trained in the
spirit.
Various professional men should ad.
dress the pupils occasionally on their

He then spoke of the temperaments
suited to various professions
I'm the study of litersture the teacher
has no right to substitute her inCerpre-
tation of a passage for that of her
pupils, he said
Another point made by the professor
is that eighth grade graduating exer-
cises have no place in the public
schools. He asserted that it gave the
pupils sense Of completed perfor.
nance that led often to their leaving
school on the threshold of the 80. called

The people who talk peace, who are
for settling this present great war are
all right have nothing TO say con-
corning them but as instructors we are
not to destroy the pugnscious, fighting
spirit of our boys and girls as we must
have generals to lead in the battles of
| the future"
Tuesday DR.. Thomas Nadal, presi.
dent of Olivet college, took place on
the program, substituting for Prof
! Bryan. He gave a lecture on "The
Merchant OF Venice, that was intensely
interesting, and was received with
heartiest applause. DR.. Nadal gave
briefly the four stories current in the
days of Shakespeare, and recited the
manner in which that dramatist wove
them together in one with the skill that
made it masterpiece. The leading
characters were presented in manner
that made them seem more real than
ever before, and the lecture was ex-
ceedinely instructive and entertaining.
Dr. Nadal is considered one of the best
instructors in English in the entire
country and his presence at this in.
stitute was much appreciated by all
| who were in attendance.

lonia's Park.Playground

The city of Ionia has done a very
commendable act in acquiring the pro.
perty south of the city and converting
same into a park playground. These
grounds have for years been used by
the lonia Fair association. A few years
ago the fair association went broke and
then the city showed the proper spirit
by bonding herself, buying up the fair
mortgages and turning the fair grounds
into park playground. Not only have
the mortgages been satisfied but the
city assumed all the other obligations
outstanding against the association.
Ionia now has well.governed and we'll
kept park for the children, where they
can go and play without feeling of
trespass -Greenville Independent

Since Thursday of last week the city

the sufferers but it has been impossible
