Holds Debate

Last Wednesday evening. an
interesting debate was held at
Quinn Chapel A. M. z. Church, in
Hamtramck, and a large audience
was present. The subject was
Resolved that woman Has Been
of More Benefit to the World
Than Man"
The principals in the debate
showed by their argument th-t
much research work had been
done. Mrs. K. l.. Be.lony, 0 tai.
ented member of Quinn Charel
contended that much praise re-
co'ved by mfn is fa'se nraise. for
which woman de-ervcs the credit.
while man gets the honor. Mr.. J.
\. Jackson. a well read young
man, attempted to prove that no
nart is equal to TIE whole, and
that since God took a rib from
man and made woman, therefore
woman by nature is not able to
measure no to man.
The judges-Mesdames Kate
Cfestham and Pace, M arie
Strickland, and Messrs p. A.
PineSney. Jesse Lewis-decided
in favor Of woman.
Mrs. Marphy, who is broadcast
ing over WV. was he soloist OF
the evening. and charmed the
audience with her singing; while
Miss Thelma Clowers efficiently
presided at the piano. Miss Blay-
lack, a student a. the Detroit
Conservatory of Music, rendered
a piano e'ectiion. The EssL
Side Quartet also thrilled the
with specipl selections.
Rev. Marlin J. Hendrie.h, the
pastor, closed Tire program with
interesting remarks. Mrs. Minnie
Crockett presided as mistress Of
cereminies.

RALEIGH. Sept. 19.-The re-
cent epidemic of prison escapes
over the state may be partially
due to the reports of better
times the prisoners are hearing
as a result of the NRA and the
efforts of the government to pro-
vide more employment, according
to J. Winder Bryan, chief of the
bureau of Identification Of the
state highway and public works
commission.
There is no way of determin-
ing the causes book of escapes,
since the mental process of every
prisoner are different" Bryan
said. 81 have known prisoners
to escape after serving years
and with only a few weeks or
even a few days left to serve.
There is one case on record out
here at the prison where War

er knew it. Yet that afternoon,
the prisoner got a chance to get
away and escaped. He was re-
captured, of course, as 90 per
cent are, and had to complete his
term"
Another characteristic of es-
capes is that they come in bunch
es, like bananas and street cars,
according 10 Bryan. Things may
run along smoothly for weeks
with very few escapes. Then
there will be an epidemic Of
