COMMUNITY WORK
TALKED At OWOSSO
Chamber of Commerce Mem
bers Ask Increase on Su-
gar Importation Tariff.

OWOSSO, May 5-Alex. lander.
son of the National Community
Service league spoke at the Cham
ber of Commerce meeting held
Tuesday noon in the armory.
Mr.. Anderson told of how little
community service work is known
by people throughout the country.
Also he spoke of the many people
not wishing to become acquainted
with this W work.
Community service in some sec
tions of the country is practically
unheard OF, said the speaker.
"Over $4,000 young girls have
disappeared in the past year." said
Mr.. Anderson. Statistics also
show that the larger per cent Of
these girls come from small towns
or rural districts to the cities.
That is the reason why a COM
munity center should be organized
in the smaller towns and cities,
to hold the attention of the young
people in their own communities
instead OF their going to the cities
where they meet with such temp
tation."
Sometimes / ask a father about
community work" said Mr.. An
derson, land he will reply, my
child is all right and well taken
care of, or he is too young to take
part in community service work
But he declared, the father little
realizes how his neighbor's child
is occupying his time. Maybe
while the fathers child is playing
in a playroom or yard the neigh
bor's child is romping the streets.
Also the father little realizes that
with the expiring of a few years
his son may be associated in
school with the boy that has been
compelled to play upon the street
because of the lack of public play
ground which would be under the
supervision Of the community CEN
ter.
The Chamber of Commerce went
on record as favoring a high tariff
for the protection of American in
dustries. This was done through
the signing of two petitions by the
members present, which will be
sent to the senators at Washing
ton.
The petitions were presented to
the Chamber of Commerce by Mr..
Crane of the Sugar company. He
pointed especially to the raising
of the tariff on Cuban sugar i'm
ported into this nation from for
eign countries, asking that the
tariff be raised from $1.6O to 81
per hundred.

Johnny Wright, youngest son of
William Wright. manager of the
Owosso Truck Co, had a narrow
escape from sustaining serious
burns when he attempted to use
gasoline to light a fire early Satur-
day night, in the barns of the
company on S. Water st. The fire
department was summoned and
the fire was quickly extinguished,
doing but little damage to the
building.
The fire department was also
called out early Monday morning
to extinguish a slight roof blaze
on a house in Almont st.

Intensive bolshevist propaganda,
the police assert, was also probably
carried on as side line.
One of the men arrested is the
communist municipal councillor of
Ivry-Sar-Seine, just outside of Paris,
which Is the site Of q large arsenal.
Police headquarters here issued an
official conmunique saying the Do
lice had discovered an extremely
important affair interesting to the
national defense"
Marcel Cachin, leader of the COM
munist party in France, said Thurs
day:
1T Is strange coincidence that
this discovery of huge plot against
the national security Of France
should come whdn the French dele
CATION is engaged in bitter opposi-
tion to the soviet delegation in
Genoa. Impartial observers will not
be fooled by the attempt of the cap
italistic government to discredit the
soyiets. 1t only succeeds in making
France appear as a huge arsenal and
an armed camp"

OWOSSO ATTORNEY
STOPS MARRIAGE
Prosecutor Intervenes on Ac-
count of Six Children
and Property.

OWOSSO May 5-An order
was issued Wednesday morning
by Judge Collins to County Clerk
A. w. Bennett to show why Mrs
Lizzie Phyllaire and Oliver Day
are not granted marriage license.
The hearing is set for Saturday
afternoon at 1880.
Mrs. Phyllaire's attorney, Il. f.
Miner, said, "As Mr.. Phyllatre, her
former husband, is under nfe
sentence in Jackson, thus setting
her legally free according to the
laws of Michigan. also Mr.. Day
being mentally sound, / can see
no reason why they should not be
granted a license"
Prosecuting Attorney Matthews
saws the cause of his intervention
is six small children of Phyllaire's
and the property left by Mr.. Phyl-
Iaire for her care and the chiidren.

Is awaiting an answer.

OWOSSO JUDGE
REVIEWS CASE
Matthews Does Not Approve
of Michigan Constitu-
tion, Said.
owOssO, May 5-Judge Collins

OWOSSO, May 5-Judge Collins
after the hearing of Mrs. Phyllaire
and Oliver Dye case Monday morn
ing took the case under advise
ment. *
Judge Collins instructed Pros.
Matthews to obtain a copy of a
case that took place in the state of
New Mexico, which is similar to
this.
Attorney Matthew asserted Mon
day. as not approving of the con-
stitutionality of Michigan. Espe-
cially so in a case of the kind,
making it so Phyllaire will lose his
property if the marriage OF the
pair is allowed.
Mrs. Phyllaire was set legally
free from her former husband,
when he was sentenced to Jackson
for life. The case will be settled
according to law, and If the license
is granted, "I want it done with
the protest of myself and the clerk
registered" said Pros. Matthews.
No word has been received from
a letter sent to Phyllaire at Jack
son by Attorney Matthews.
Leon r. Miner, Mrs. Phyllaire's s
attorney asserted Monday that he
could not see any reason why his
client and Mr.. Dye should not be
granted a marriage license.
Both are sound physically and
mentally, therefore giving no rea-
son for them to be refused, de-
clared lawyer Miner. AS to the
six children of Mrs. Phyllaire, they
can be taken care of If circum-
stances necessitate, after the mar
riage, as convenient then as now.
At present she is unable to sup
port the six children.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Dye both ex-
press their objections to their son
divers marriage and refer to 1t as
a most scandalous thing. They
also uphold Attorney Matthews in
the step he has taken in the case.

EAST BANKERS TO SEE CAPPER
 MEET PADDOCK
Bob McAllister, Flying Police man, Is Hailed as
 Charley's Rival.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The fact that California has Charley Paddock to make an intersectional rivalry of the issue leads the East to take more than ordinary interest in the record-breaking feat of Bob McAllis- ter, the flying cop" who streaked over the board floor of the 18th Regi- ment Armory in Brooklyn recently to new worlds indoor records for 100, 110, 120, 130 and 150 yards,
 McAllister Must Go
 Eastern fans have visions of a clash between the two champions, although they realize that MeAllister will have to go to California if any such match is made, since Paddock has announced he will not visit the East for competition. There is feeling here, however, that the West ern marvel may possibly be lured into the effete section if McAllister's rec ords becomes any more brilliant
 One race does not make a cham pion, but McAllister's performance Of II 3-5 seconds in the 150-yard dash last week is a mark not to be attain ed by any flash-in-the-pan runner. In running the 150-yard race MeAllister passed the 100-yard mark in 9:45, the no in 10 2-5, the 120 in Il 4-5 and the 130 in 12 3-5. These marks compare favorably with the outdoor records for the same distance made by Charlie Paddock 9ast year. Pad dock covered 150 yards in 14 1-5.
 Footing Is Insecure
 In addition to the fact that Me Allister was running on an indoor surface which offered footing not too secure. the flying cop went to scratch attired in long, Tapping trunks and had his feet weighted with rubber-soled tennis shoes. He ran with an apparently awkward stride, but finished yards ahead of his nearest competitor and immedi- ately became the athletic marvel Of the moment.
