ACCUSED OF FRAUD IN
TAKING SUBSCRIPTIONS

Ben G.. Kerr, 46 years old and rath-
er vague in his memory OF any adj
dress, was arrested by Detectives
Reid and Dibble Wednesday afternoon
on the charge OF collecting money for
subscriptions 10 magazines which were
never delivered.
Mr.. Kerr was real indignant when
arrested. He had fancy blanks, bear
ing the name. "Pan-American Club
bing agency, New YORK Chicago"
He said that IL was true that he oc-
casionally used the names Morris
and "Dadd," but only for convenience.
Confronted with the accusation that
there was no such concern as the Pan
American Clubbing agency, he said he
knew that, but had only learned that
fact the day before, and was quite
surprised about IL. He said another
man wished the job on him, turning
over the papers and paraphernalia and
sending him out to work.
Employees of the Aluminium Castings
Co, where Kerr took many orders. col
lecting 1856 on each one caused his
arrest when they saw him near the
plant Wednesday. and remembered
him as the man who had taken their
orders in December for magazines
that never came.
Kerr was turned over to the Ham
tramck authorities.

ANSWERS r. HIN answer to a
letter of R. H. regarding the unjust
discrimination of colored as printed
in The Day Book, May %, 1 must
say that it is common knowledge that
such discrimination is going on every
day.
1t is indeed unfortunate for col
ored person to be treated in the man
ner mentioned and this act like in
Vulnerable others serve to show how
little some people practice the Golden
Rule. Undoubtedly he processes to
be Christian, but how unlike Christ
is he. -
AS an insurance agent, with duties,
which by their nature bring me in
such close contact with working
mems families (nearly 800 of which
are colored) l feel qualified to say
something regarding the unjust dis
elimination of the colored.
In my mind the most unjust dis
elimination practiced is to give them
the right to work only at occupations
that most white men consider them
selves above, such as porters and
most any kind of unpleasant labor.
1t is this that the colored men resent
more than all else, since its effect is
so far reaching.
In general he has long ago ceased
to heed unpleasant remarks and dis
courtesy; such as described by R. H.
To be denied the rights to learn a
trade or business without having
every conceivable obstacle thrust in
his way, denied the right to properly
care for his family as result of
being compelled to labor in the few
and underpaid occupations left to
him is unjust and unchristian like.
Fortunately few have, by patient

HOW DOES THE OYSTER \

HOW DOES THE OYSTER MAKE
A PEARL?-WiII you tell me some-
thing about the way the oyster makes
pearI?-Harry C.
When the oyster is very tiny it
floats about on top of the sea or river
like a piece of jelly Then it's shell
begins to grow and the oyster gets
so heavy that it sinks to the bottom
of the water, where it fasters itself
to rock or some other object, opens
its shell and let's in the water and the
water brings with it specks of sand,
bits of water-insects and egg fish
the food the oyster lives on.
But sometimes one of these specks
gets between the oysters shell and
body, and pressing the body causes
irritation, and this irritation causes
fluid to flow from the oyster. Layer
after layer flows over the speck of
sand, and as each layer hardens an
other layer covers it. The speck of
sand becomes bigger and smoother,
its color more lustrous, finally it takes
on the shape of pearl or an oval or
ball; it separates from the shell and
then it is pearl.

CABLE SYSTEM |S LIKELY GO TO
 ?. ]. DEPT

In the mail which arrived last even ing a letter from Valdez was received. enclosing a copy of a letter from Washington, in which it was stated that there was greater likelihood this year of having the telegraph and cable system turned over to the post office department than ever before. The letter was writtn by a govern ment employe in Washington, who states that he knows Postmaster General Burleson is now willing to take over the management of the telegraph lines if Congress sees fit to make the transfer.
 In a recent wire from Washington, it was stated that the postmaster general mad made an estimate of the amount of money he would require if he was to take over the lines. so that this leads to the belief that the letter received yesterday is based on a well founded fact.
 Should the postoffice take over the telegraph lines, it means that many civilian telegraph operators would have to be imported from the States, as there are not enough in the in terior to take charge of all the sta tions.
 As many of the smaller stations along the trail do not take in enough receipts in a month to pay for heat of the buildings. it is likely that many of them would be closed and that there would be long stretches of ter ritory, as on the Canadian line, where there would be no operators.-Fair- banks Times.
