MUSIC STUDY CLUB

About thirty-fve members Of
the Music Study club were de-
lighted with the program given
them on Tuesday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. E. F. Fead, when
Miss Marjorie Browne, pianist,
and Miss Fish, soloist, of Port
Huron, entertained with charm
ing selection of group numbers.
Miss Browne is an excellent
pianist with splendid training.
Music is in her finger tips and
she seems to make the piano talk.
Miss Fish is gifted with a woA-
derful voice and her selections
were made with reference to the
home rather than concert hall
to which her voice is so capably
adapted. Her tones are sweet and
clear and she sings with much
feeling.
The Music Club were fortunate
indeed in securing Miss Browne
and Miss Fish for a recital.
On account Of illness, Mrs.
Meeker, the speaker from Detroit
who was expected to be here, was
unable to be present.
After the program dainty buff
fet luncheon was served in the
dining room, Mrs. E. H. Smith
pouring tea and Mrs. w. G. Wight
coffee.
The club will meet with Leona
Holcomb On Monday evening next
for election of officers and the
Music Memory selections.

STOCK SWINDLE VICTIMS
OF ROMEO TESTIFY

Ellis Goldberg, 26 years old,
who is alleged to have MIXED
Macomb county residents out of
$4,000 through the sale of al
legged worthless film company
stock, was arraigned Tuesday af-
ternoon of last week before Judge
Swan on the charge of selling
stock which had not met with
the approval of the Michigan Sc
curieties commission.
Alleging that they had been de-
frauded of $4,000 through the sale
of worthless stock, Mrs. Kate M.
Loud and her daughter Flora,
both of Romeo, took the stand
Saturday against Goldberg in
Justice Swans court.
Goldberg had explained why
the stock was not listed on the
regular exchanges, they testified
by declaring that the securities
were so closely held and traded
in so seldom that listing was i'm
possible.
When they met Goldberg in
Jan. 1921, they said, he represent
ed a Detroit brokerage company
and sold them stock in the Invad-
er Oil company. This transaction
is not under investigation.
Later, however, both witnesses
stated, he represented himself as
field agent of the Detroit COM
pany and persuaded them to ex-
change their Invader stock for
Capitol Film stock Of Indianapolis
This was the stock which the state
alleges was unapproved and prac-
tically worthless.
Justice Swan overruled a motion
made by Attorney Ricks for the
defendant to bar testimony by
Albert A. Town. representative of
the state securities commission.
Ricks contended that this testi-
mony should be in the form of a
properly attested certificate un-
er the seal of the commission.
Examination was adjourned
until Wednesday. Goldberg is
held without bail.

YALE is FORTUNATE

The fates were kind indeed
to residents of Yale and vicinity
when we escaped the severe
storms experienced in the Thumb
district and throughout all North
ern Michigan from Tuesday night
to Friday of last week. Heavy
winds rushing to gales, rain turn
ing to freezing sleet and ice, snow
in great drifts all became a men,
ace to business life of the whole
region. Shade trees which be-
came mutilated by their iced
branches breaking, fell cluttering
the streets. Fruit trees will like
ly bear no fruit this season. Tel
ephone and telegraph poles were
down by the thousands of miles,
Electric light and power plants
were cut off and towns and cities
were in darkness and isolated
from the outer worlds. While
the upper part of the lower penin-
sula were fighting ice, the upper
peninsula lay buried under q
heavy snow fall.
We say again that we were
fortunate indeed to escape SC
heavy a toll. Just disagreeablC
windy day and night with a little
rain and a light coating of ice was
our portion.

BIG CROWD SEES
THE OPENING PLAY

Last evening the doors of the
New Princess were thrown open
to the public and one of the larg-
est crowds ever attending a movie
show in Yale was present. -
The attraction was a screen pro-
duction of Mark Twain's best
book, "A Connecticut Yankee In
King Arthur's Court" and from
the start to the finish the crowd
was kept guessing what was COM
ing next, and laughing at what
had just happened. The hero in
a dream goes back to the days of
King Arthur and for the time be-
ing made things interesting for
the aforesaid King Arthur and
his Knights of the Round Table
1t will pay you to sec this play
before the closing show which is
to be Friday evening.
Yale now has a neat little NOV
lie house, and with the class OF
shows the management is putting
on, the place should become the
center of attraction for theatre
goers.

WILL APPEAL CASE

1t took a police court jury 20
minutes Tuesday afternoon of
last week to find James Copeland
Capac blacksmith, guilty of as
sault and battery against William
Schoeman, of Capac.
A fine of S25 and $50 costs
Yas imposed. Copela--
was going to appeal the case.
Copeland's defense was that he
was justified in whipping"
Schoeman, because the man had
stolen a quart of whiskey from
him. Jas. Benedict appeared for
the defendant.
The assault took place in Cope
lands blacksmith shop in Capac
on Feb. 9. The defense main
tanned the affair was more of
sound spanking" than anything
else. Copeland was assisted in
the punishment" he said by his
partner, Ray Genaw, who will be
tried later on the same charge.
For some hitherto unexplained
reason the inhabitants of Capac
were greatly aroused by the pun
ishment received by their fellow
townsman, Mr.. Schoeman. They
turned out in large numbers at
the trial. 1t was quite evident
they expected Copeland would be
found guilty.

Justice in the Veterans Bureau.

THE District Department of the American Le-
gion has gone definitely record against the
employment at the Veterans Bureau of women
whose husbands also in the government service.
The resolution adopted at the Department conven-
ton brings up again this widely discussed issue, the
controversy which has caused temporary SEN
satons at meetings of local posts for the past few
months. The time is excellent for clear under
standing of the of these women and the jus
tice or injustice of their employment.
The Veterans Bureau has only excuse for
existence-service to the and who
fought in the last Every question concerning
it should be considered in the light of this fact Its
personnel should be made up of the individuals best
able to render this service. They may be qualified
by natural ability, by technical experience, by
understanding of human nature. All these assets
are essential. If married woman is able to do
the best work, there should be no effort made to
oust her from her position
But we do not understand that the District De-
partment asks for the wholesale discharge of such
women. Some local posts made such demand,
but the organization as whole softened the phrase
ology so there is plenty of. room for saving COM
mon sense. The whole matter of Veterans Bureau
personnel demands a great deal ofS tact and good
judgment. When there is veteran Of equal
or superior qualifications available for post
now held by married woman, there should be no
question about her discharge 1t is unfortunate that
this might be delayed by Civil Service "red tape"
If the veteran cannot render such good service,
however, he has claim to the position.
We would not the Bureau into job
voir for veterans OF work. 1t must be admitted
that many of these cannot present any unusual
qualifications for positions which demand some in
innate understanding OF complicated procedure
Some of the married women at the Veterans Bu-
reau numbered among the most efficient and
sympathetic employees whose absence would consti-
tute distinct loss to the service.
But it is obvious that superior qualifications
should be demanded of such Their pres
ence always will be irksome to veterans who feel
that their service the country entities them
to preference Everything possible should be done
eliminate this state of mind-and it will continue
40 long there is the slightest suspicion that a
woman OF inferior qualifications is holding a job
which belongs to some man who service in the

Czecho- -Slovakia at present is on
the verge of an Industrial crisis,
the causes of which are to be as
signed to her high rate of exchange
A year ago the American dollar WAS
worth nearly 100 Czecho -Slovak
icrowns. Since then the Czecho-Slo-
yak crown has risen steadily in val
ue. until the dollar is worth about
80 crowns-that is to say. the cur
rency of Czecho-Slovakia has now
more than threefold the value it had
last fall.
1t Is only natural that this appre-
citation of CzechoSlovak currency
coupled with the entire collapse Of
the currencies of Czecho- -Slovakia' S
customers-Germany and Austria
has produced a serious industrial
crisis which is similar to that
through which England and America
have just passed. Factories are
closing down and an unemployment
problem of menacing dimensions
looms in the near future. There is
only one remedy for the crisis
prices of production must come
down so as to enable the manufac-
turer to resume export.
Must Eeduce Living Costs.
A reduction in the costs of pro-
duction implies first Of all a cheap
ening of the food supply and of
daily necessities for the masses, for
no reduction of wage can be sug-
gested without the cost of living be-
ing first reduced; then transport
charges must be lowered. allevia-
tions mus. be made in respect of
taxation. and economies must he
enforced in public administration.
These measures mean that every
class in the country must take ac-
tive part in the struggle and work
together in harmony for the com
mon end. And happily there are
signs that this is the case, for en-
ployes as well as employers are
convinced that a decisive moment
has arrived in which a reasonable
degree OF personal sacrifice is not
only duty. but common sense.
Breach in Food Prices.
In the meantime a breach has al
ready been made in food prices,
though the reductions are so far lit
tie more than a promising begin
ming. Compared with July l the
price of wheaton flour has fallen by
81 per cent. -that of rye -four by f5
per cent. rice by As per cent, Ameri-
can lard by Al per cent, coffee by
Is per cent. and so on. Then again

Let the Good Work Continue.

THE present police roundup of Washngtons
underworld should bring excellent results.
Those who attend daily sessions of the po-
lice court impressed by the familiarity Of
the faces in the dock each morning. Most of the
:rine reported in the city can be blamed on habit
ual criminals who go from one act of lawlessness
to another with instructive regularity Month after
month the same men are caught in the net of the
law and brought before the courts. Washngtons S
criminal element is not large We presume that
there not thousand really bad in the
National Capital. Men and women Of much higher
moral calibre sometimes commit crimes, but they
seldom repeat them. Among the thousand be
found the guilty party in nearly every robbery,
dearly every murder, and nearly every assault in
the District.
, Hence it is essential that the police know these
habitual criminals and keep eye them at all
times If some one of them does not commit a
crime at some hour of the day night, the only
reason is that a good opportunity has not been
offered. We believe that, although the Districts
criminal set is small it is as vicious any in the
United States. 1t is filled with potential murderers.
The sooner these arrested for lesser crimes
and given long jail sentences the less the danger
that they will shoot citizens who may stand in their
path when they venture upon foray.
The patrolmen on the streets in every section
of the city know who these men are. They not
confined to any one street or one neghborhood, but
have spread rather generally throughout the Dis
trict. The duties of the police would be greatly
lessened if most of them safe behind steel
bars. They themselves would be benefited because,
for most of them; the choice is between prison
cell now and the death chamber later
We are glad that the underworld roundup has
started in earnest. Soon it is reasonable to sup
pose, the shifty eyes and the hang-dog faces will
have disappeared from the populous streets of the
city 10 grace the pleasant countryside about Occo-
quan in nice, striped suits. Most of them will
desert the city soon they realize that the
police are their trails with intent of relenng,
and that it is not proposed to allow them to kill
somebody before chasing them out of their rat
holes.
very entertaining book can be compiled at
police headquarers-copiousy illustrated with pho
tos of these fellows and containing all valuable in
formation about them. Then the solution of muir
der mystery should be almost easy looking up
