Michigan Planning
Emergency Fuel Law
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Lansing, Mich.-An emergency bill
which would give the state absolute
control of the distribution and price of
fuel was presented to the state legis-
lature in special session here today.
The measure would delegate to the
state fuel administrator almost unlim-
tied power to control fuel supplies.
regulate dealers and prevent boarding
1t would give him the right to seize and
sell any coal in excess of the needs of
any consumer. He would have the
power to ration fuel, fix maximum pri-
ces or fair profit margins, enter prem
Uses with legal immunity to investigate
fuel conditions and deal in fuel to meet
public demands. The governor would
designate when an emergency arises
and when it ends by certifying to the
secretary Of state. A special revolving
fund Of 100000 would be created for
the purchase and sale of, coal Persons
for whom the state buys fuel would
be required to first deposit the pur-
chase price with the administrator.

NO TITLE CONGRESSMAN"

10y ASSOCldCSO
Washington.-Any high school stu
dent, standing on his constitutional
rights, is reminded that the next time
representative McVonGoogley of the
753rd district of Delaware, for exam
pie, is introduced by the teacher at the
Friday night speaking service-which
preceded the refreshments-as Con-
gresham McVonGoogley he may rise
and declare there is no such dignity.
Digging through the musty records.
William Tyler Page, clerk of the house
of representatives, has found-and
printed in little handbook-that there
is no official sanction for the title.
The constitution, says Mr.. Page, sane
tions the use of the words "represen-
tatives" and members" as designating
those persons composing the house.
But like other words which have
crept into use ince Noah Webster's day
congressman takes its place, and the
average representative, over the tele
phone or to your FACET you don't
know him-will say is Congressman So
and So. Some cabinet officers at house
committee hearings, who don't happen
to know the representative by name,
meet the occasion by>saying Congress
man." The easier method around the
house these days, if a man wants to
keep within the constitution, is to ad-
dress a member as Judge" It hits
the right spot and he smiles affably-
like the tabled colonel of Kentucky.

Working Fast to
Eradicate Burberry

Madison, Wis.-The common barber
ry population of Wisconsin was de-
creased by 3,492 bushes and sprouts in
September, according to a report sent
to Washington today by VIM A. Wal
ker, state leader of the federal bar
berry eradication forces, who makes
his headquarters at the Capitol Annex
here.
This means, plant disease experts
declare, that there are now 1892 fewer
centers Of black stem rust in Wiscon-
sin than there were before. This
dreaded scourge of the cereal crops is
charged by government statisticians
with having destroyed $2OO,OOO,OOO
worth Of small grains in seven North
western states. including Wisconsin, in
the three-year period, 1921.
Federal and state scouts have found
3,351,575 common barberry bushes in
Wisconsin in the last five years. Of
this number, 2,784,638 have been re-
moved. The difference is accounted
for by thousands of escaped bushes in
wild areas in Grant and Trempealeau
counties, which have not been removed
because of a lack of public funds for
that purpose and the inability of the
land owners to cope with the situation.
Barberries were found in Is coun-
ties last month. In Rock county 1,478
sprouts were dug in places where
bushes previously had been eradicated.
In Iowa county 678 sprouts were found
and Lafayette had 473. In Richland
county 602 original bushes were found,
with 100 in Dodge and 149 in Columbia.

TOUR WORLD FOR
ORPHANS HOME
LOndOners in U. S. to Inter-
est ClubwOmen in Bar
nardo Homes.
STORY OF carrots"

"No Destitute Child Ever Refused
Admission" is the motto which is CEN
tering the interest of thousands of
American clubwomen in the Bernardo
Homes in London. Miss Bentham and
j. N. Stephen of London are making a
world tour, without cost to themselves
or the Homes, in the interest of the
orphans homes which have rescued
nearly 100000 destitute children dur
ing the last half-century.
Miss Bentham and Mr.. Stephen in
addressing club women throughout the
country for support of the homes, de-
clare that America has been the mecca
where $4,000 boys and girls have been
sent from the homes to grow into
splendid God-fearing citizens.
Started Fifty Years Ago.
Women all over the world should
be interested in the great undertake
ing of DR.. Barbados Homes as chill
dren from practically all over the
world, including many from the States,
have been admitted. In London the
Home is known as "the door that is
always open" and its history is inter-
esting.
Fifty-seven years ago DR.. Barnado,
young medical student, founded a
little home in the East End of London
which soon became crowded, with two
or three in a bed. One day little
red-headed boy called Carrots sought
admission but the home was already
so crowded it was forced to close it's
doors to him. A week later Carrots"
was found frozen to death in the
street.
When DR.. Barnado heard of Gear
rots'" death he took a vow that he
would never refuse another destitute
child admission, whatever the creed or
nationality Of the child or the crowd
ed condition of the home.
Over half a century has passed
since then and the little home down a
side street has grown into $50 beau
tiful children's homes including one
entire village which shelters 14O0
girls; boys Garden City; seaside
and country homes, hospitals and in
curables' homes, and naval training,
mercantile and trade schools where
useful handicrafts and trades are
taught the $4,000 destitute boys and
girls who are being cared for by the
DR.. Bernardo Homes. Nearly 100000
children have been rescued since the
death of little Carrots" and through
all these years no other child has ever
been refused admission.

TONY PAUL SAYS
GUILTY AT LAST
Proprietor Of Poolroom
Admits That He Had
MOOnshine.
SHERIFF CRACKED SAFE

Tony Paul of 113 Rowland avenue,
was the first of the men under liquor
charges and awaiting trial before a
jury in the municipal court, to break
the ice and enter plea of guilty. Paul
was lon deck when court opened this
morning and indicated to Judge Stat
er that he was anxious to withdraw
his old plea of not guilty and say
guilty" to the charge of possession
of moonshine, throwing himself upon
the mercy Of the court.
Judge Slater accepted the change
but has not yet pronounced sentence,
biding his time until the convictions
will have piled up.
Sheriff Cracked the Safe.
Tony Paul's case arose out of a
raid by the sheriff's force on a pool
room at 113 Rowland avenue on Sat-
urday night, April 8. The sheriff's
men visited the place but could find
no moonshine. They poked about ev-
erywhere, and Paul, who seemed quite
unconcerned and seemed to be en-
ioying himself, permitted them to
range the entire place without inter
ference.
Finally the sheriff's squad were con-
WINGED that there was no moonshine
on the place unless it were in the safe.
But they could not get into that to
investigate for Paul refused to open
it or give up the combination. The
squad conferred with the sheriff over
the telephone and the latter ordered
the safe drilled. When the safe was
finally cracked open under the sheriff's
instructions, bottle of moonshine was
found inside.
Jacob Keul On the Raid.
The raid occurred before the death
of Jacob Keul, whe was at the time
turnkey of the sheLl's force. He was
one of the raiders at the Tony Paul
place together with Undersheriff Joe
Knfpfer and Deputies, Stanley Rauen
and Chef Bostetter. The merry turn
key was later killed in an automobile
accident on the Geneva road on Sun
day in June.
The trial of Jake Apanovich for IN
lawful sale and possession of liquor
started this morning. A jury had been
drawn and testimony begun at noon.
