DETROIT WANTS
 NO 'CURSE; CITY
 ELECTION WARM
Business Man Is Wanted for Mayor-No Politicians
 Desired for Office.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 28.-"Will the next Mayor of Detroit be busi- ness man?" is the question to be set tied at the primary election March ' in tho Automobile City.
 For almost two months, since Mayor James Couzens was appointed to the United States Senate by Gov ernor Alexander J. Groesbeck to sue cecd Truman H. Ncwberry, resigned, tho battle has been on. The candi- dates include David A. Brown, classed as the business man; former Con gressman Frank E. Doremus, from the East Side, and J. w. Inches. who resigned as head of the Detroit Po- lice Department to run.
 Brown and Inches are Republicans and Doremus is a Democrat, but this is non7partisan affair.
 The Republican following is divided between Brown and Inches, while the element dominated by William F. Connolly, Democratic leader, is be- hind Doremus.
 Until February 1 there was one other leading factor in the race, for mer Mayor Oscar B. Marx, veteran Republican, whose withdrawal was caused by sickness.
 The angle of the situation is that all newspapers are calling for busi- ness man to save Detroit from the "curse" of being run by a politician.

C0UEISM IS OLD TO ESKIMOS
 OF ALASKA SAYS ONE WOMAN
Seattle Post-Intellgencer.l

Eskimos of Alaska have been prac- ticing Coueism for hundreds Of years. But instead of using tho formula Day by day in every way" they sing and chant the mystic spell, illness.
 This is the statement of Mrs. Vashta Dalton, traveller, explorer, composer and playrght, who Is at the St. Regis. Mrs. Dalton is now writing a play of the North, "The Unwrltten Law" in which some of the leading parts are to be taken by natives
 Mrs. Dalton has blazed new trails alone through Alaska for the last IT years. She lived for four years with an Eskimo family and declares she guage in written form. She has also preserved some of the folk songs and legends of the natives.
 ''The natives practice their weird form of Coueism by means of chant called The Song of the Deathless Voices" she declared. 'When any one falls i'll, neighbors and friends take turns in singing the weird chants.'
 For chewing gum, the Eskimo flap per chews the hide of seal, she says.
 Mrs. Dalton has made a number of motion pictures depicting Eskimo legends. She declares the slang and 1ance hall themes of the Robert w 30rtfc6 poems do not reflect thei rue life of the North.

POSTMISTRESS PAXTON
RESIGNS TO ACCEPT A
MORE PERMANENT JOB

Miss Lutte Paxton has rendered her
resignation to the postmaster general
with a request that it be accepted and
she be relieved as soon as the changc
can be made.
Miss Paxton has made an efficient
official and there has been little COM
plant during her management OF the
office which has been growing rapidly
during her short term.
Her reasons for resigning are ample
and sufficient and will be accepted by
the general public without the slight
est criticism, since Miss Paxton will
be married to Paul Saunders of Lacon,
Florida, a brother of Mrs. l.. G. Riley,
as soon as Uncle Sam can arrange the
appointment of her successor.
Cupid has been busy on this affair
for quite some time, but while male
proposed, maid opposed-eventualiy
Cupid secured the stamps of approval
and all other engagements were cam
celled.
Miss Paxton expects to leave for
California as soon as her successor is
installed as postmaster or postmis-
tress as the case may be, when the
happy event will occur. From Cal
ifornia they will go to their new
home at Lacon, Florida. Mr.. Saunders
holds a responsible position with a
railroad at Lacon.
