I'VE ARE AN
AVERAGE FAMILY"

-. and we live comfortably on little less than
the average salary. AS the balancer of our
budget, here is my opinion on what the new
electric rates mean to me.
eff we use no more electricity than usual-a
savings of SOC to 75c each month. =
"But--nuch more important-it means greater
convenience. We just didn't feel like we could
afford to use our toaster, percolator, reflector
heater and iron except from the range outlet
This was so inconvenient the appliances soon
came to rest on the top pantry Shelf But they
are all on duty now and we are just beginning
to realize how nice it is to make hot coffee and
toast at the breakfast table, John uses the heater
every morning while shaving and use it while
bathing the baby. And still we save because
Auntie irons the baby's things instead of sending
them out"

Charges have been made by
Horace Biilingslea, OF i3s04
Fleming Avenue, TO the effect
that Patrolmen George Ausc, No.
2342, and August Lila, No. 305i
of the Davidson Street precinct
station, arrested him and another
coiored youth on May 5, at 1896
Dequindre, took them into a
neighborhood store, and held
them with hands behind their
backs, while allowing a white boy
TO brutally pound Billingslea in
the face with his fists. No offense
had been committed by the two
boys, they declare, other than
having incurred the disfavor of
the white youth who caused the
officers to take them into custody.
The incident has greatly arous-
ed the colored citizens of North
Detroit, and prompted officials of
the n. A. A.. C. P. and the North
End Political League, represent
ing 900 members. to take steps to
bring the patrolmen to justice.

bravely rejected he offer, declar-
ing that their people would push

Upon the boys refusal accept
the money, it is alleged that
Messers Jeff Fluker and George
Harrison interceded with t h e
boys fathers and induced them
to take the question up with Off
Gals of the Davidson Street sta

and Lila succeeded in out-talking
the colored representatives, stat
ing they were sorry the affair oc-
cuhed and promising such a thing
would not happen again, if they
were forgiven. In reply one of the
colored spokesman is quoted as
having said: eve forgive. We
want to live and let live" This
