MICHIGAN GIVES
REPEAL FIRST TEST
IN BALLOT TODAY
Vote on Convention Dele
gates by Districts Spurs
Hopes of Drys.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 3.-Michigan blazes
an unmapped trail today as the first
State to elect its constitutional conven-
ton for consideration of the amend
ment to repeal national prohibition.
An estimated 900, 900 votes will elect
100 delegates to the convention, one for
each OF the 100 Representative districts.
In each district there are two candi-
dates. One Is pledged to vote for rati-
fication of the repeal amendment, the
other for retention of the eighteenth
amendment. Thus, when the conven-
ton assemblies on April 10, it will have
no deliberative function to perform
only a formal recording of the senti-
ment expressed by the voters at the
polls.
Vets Won in November.
Although this is the first opportunity
voters anywhere have had to render a
decisive verdict on national prohibition,
State prohibition was clear-cut issue
vets won, repeating the bone dry
clause in the Michigan constitution by
a vote of 1922, ,508 to ATS, ,265.
That was done by popular majority,
Detroit's vote weighing heavily in the
balance. Today, however. with the
vote in each district standing alone,
the chances for repeal are proportion
ately less and prohibition leaders are
basing their hopes principally on that
factor.
Repea1ists concede that the vote by
districts constitutes a major hazard to
their hopes and, although 81 Of the 100
districts voted last Fail for repeal Of
the State prohibition amendment, they
issued warnings over the week end
against "overconfidence."
Governor Addresses Rally.
In today's election Wayne County
(Detroit), which casts approximately
half the popular vote, elects only 81 OF
the 100 delegates.
Gov. William A. Comstock, address,
ing a Democratic rally, asserted that
today's vote will determine the ultimate
fate of national prohibition.
'If we vote wet we'll lead the way"
he said. "If we turn about by going
dry the country viii never get the
amendment of the books"

Colonel Bolts and Captain Cabot
arrived at general headquarters at
eight o'clock in the evening. The
Chief listened with his usual dignity
and calmness while Colonel Bolts sent
up whirling, prolegomenous flight of
words as if in search of an orbit for
his patriotic emotions. He was in
bewildering maze when the General
interrupted him saying:
Colonel, this is interesting and
perceive that your report will require
more leisurely consideration than
can now give to it. Therefore, please
accept my thanks and compliments for
your excellent work and submit your
report in writing"
He arose and gave the colonel his
hand and walked with him to the door.
The orator had been so graciously and
courteously silenced that Colin smiled
with gratitude and admiration. When
the Chief returned to his Office he
brought with him the great Doctor
Franklin, who had come with COM
mittee from congress to confer with
General Washington He was stout
old gentleman of medium height with
a large head bald at the crown, white
hair and a countenance beardless and
amiable. Turning to Colin, the Chief
said:
"Here is a young man to whom
gladly lend my ears"
lx;r 81 a
you get interest" Doctor Franklin an
swered with a benevolent smile.
AS they sat down the General asked
the young captain to give them an ac-
count of his adventures. The distin-
guished patriots were interested and
amused by his vivid recital. They
shook with laughter at the gentle hui
NOR with which certain parts Of it
had been favored.
Without mentioning his name Colin
described the oratory of one of his CO.
workers. Franklin, sitting near the
fire, mopped his smooth-shaven face
with large, colored handkerchief and
moved his chair, saying:
"When a mans head is filled with
nothing he is eager to get rid of it.
We mustn't blame him. He is only
obeying law of Nature A vacuum
can make lot of noise. A whirlwind
is a great spinning bottleful of moth
ing and in hot haste to get rid of it."
"Yet it is very capable" said Colin
"Most energetic!'' Franklin agreed.
"Our people have no need of being
convinced. Any kind of noise will
serve to remind them Of their duty.
A fife and drum is enough. l think
that their souls have heard voice
more convincing than yours or mine.

w.A.v SERVICE

Men and women sprang out OF the
shadows. In trice they encircled the
band of red men and stood each with
a rude weapon ready for use. The
braves were filled with establishment.
Again the brave woman spoke to her
friends: "Stand still. Make no hos
tile move till order it."
Then in their tongue she addressed
the red men: eve offer you peace or
war. If you choose peace, we will
give you food but no drink. There is
not drop Of drink in my tavern"
For moment the braves chartered
together like magpies. At that mo-
ment an incautious move might have
precipitated hurting of tomahawks
and disaster which would have gone
into history. The Indians saw that
they were overmatched more than
three to one, and that they could not
escape terrible goring. Their leader
was perhaps sobered little by his
peril. His counsel seemed to prevail.
AS the red men ceased their chatter
ing he said:
"Wife of Manitou give us meat. We
go away"
What subtle deviltry may have been
in the peace he offered, will never be
known. Colin, obeying the order of
the woman, gave her his gun and pis-
| tol and set out for the kitchen to bring
roasted ham, Before he opened the
| door he heard the hoofs Of horses
coming swiftly down the road. When
he returned he found that six armed
| troopers had arrived.
"You people can go to your homes"
the captain Of the troop was saying.
"We'll attend to these lousy wildcats"
The tenseness of the scene was
| broken. The women fastened to the

inn door to get their children. Five
troopers with guns cocked) stood by
the red men. Their captain took the
ham from Colin and put it down be-
side him, saying:
captain Cabot take my gun. You
and Mrs. Bowlby will please stand by
minute. If any red devil shows fight
or tries to run, put a hole in him.
The rest O. We hold yer fire till it's
needed"
He went among the savages and
took away their bottles and toma-
hawks and flung them on the veranda.
He took out his hunting knife and be-
gan to slice the ham and throw 1t to
the red men, who grabbed and ate it
like hungry dogs. This done, he made
them to understand by word and ges-
ture that they were to roll up in their
blankets and lie down for the night
He turned to Mrs. Bowlby saying:
Eye can all go to bed I'll mount
guard and keep pair O. eyes on these
wild men. They'll sleep like tired
dogs till daylight. Then We'll give
'em bite to eat an run em off down
trail to the west They won't
trouble you no more. They found We

"Your coming was timely" said the
woman. 81 eye 1t as thing from
Providence"
"Don't blame God for it," the Off
Ger answered. "Our scout was watch
ing EN- an we was ordered out within
an hour after they were heading for
this settlement"
The red men and their escort had
gone when Colin set out an hour after
sunrise. He was to meet Colonel
Bolts at the village Of New Milford.
There the colonel had assembled and
organized force of nearly three hun
dred armed men. The fall work of
harvesting and threshing being fin
shed, Bolts, with the aid of two able
young lawyers, had made excellent
progress in the west. With tents and
other equipment in heavy wagons,
they set out on their march to Cam
bridge, stopping here and there to pick
up the recruits, who had signed for
service on the westward journey.
A loyalist youth who jeered the lit
tie regiment as it was leaving New
Milford was quickly seized and COM

MATTERS OF TASTE
HARD TO EXPLAIN
Likes and Dislikes Seem to
Be Unaccountable.

"Taste is not the only thing for
which there is no accounting" said
Mr.. Cato Ninetails. "Likes and dis
likes are quite as unaccountable.
Most Of us would be pretty hard put
to it to explain some of our own !:
and as for those of other people
we'll, they are beyond reason. We,
all of us, undoubtedly dislike some
people that, considering everything
that is known about them, we should
like; and we all Of us like some peo-
pie that we know, from what we
know about them, we should not like
I doubt whether this state of affairs
Is distinctively human.
Likes and dislikes that concern
food, drink and amusements are
quite as divergent and quite as un-
explainable. This has long been
noted and entered in the records,
which show, for instance, that one
mans fish is another mans poison,
and that what is whitehall to one
man is bette noir to another-all of
which would tend to indicate that
we are gastrically as erratically dis
eliminating as mentally, or temper
amentally.
'Perhaps temperament has more
to do with it than either physical or
mental digestion. There are some
most worthy persons who are most
attractive; but perhaps when it is
considered that there are also worthy
persons, food, drink and amusements
that are unattractive, the situation,
with all it's risks and temptations,
averages up in the way worldly af-
fairs usually do.
"Many persons have declared that
life is complicated, and in a de-
4 tached and contemplative mood most
of us will agree to this; but com
paratively few people suspect it ex-
cept on special occasions and in
embarrassing emergencies. The rest
of the time it seems to be pretty
humdrum-as it is; with a daily
routine that is more often bore
