Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-05-21

~
days through a rainstorm, dis
obeyed orders TO act As re-
serves, and plunged into battle.
They charged with bayonets be-
cause the rain had swollen the
ramrods of their muskets and
they couldn't load. Sigel was
driven back.
Everywhere in the world,
VMI men still observe New
Market Day. There were only
seven in Detroit this year, but
they celebrated as usual, with
dinner at the University Club.
They permitted three visitors
Charles Lee, whose father is
a VMI man; Jim Welsh, the
AAA Traveller. and me.
We exchanged stories with
them: we stood for a minute in
silence. which is a part OF New
Market Day anywhere. and we
partook of their bottle of an
cient bourbon. And. for my
part, ! did a lot Of listening.
Mostly I listened In on the
stories being snapped by Welsh
and Gilbert White, because /
was nearest them.
They both knew good many
of the soldiers Of fortune of so
or 40 years ago. rs well rs some
Of the figures of the Old West.
White, in fact, once served rs
Pancho Villas artillery chief, I
understand, although not when
villa was at odds with American
troops. He now is an engineer
in one Of the war plants.
One Soldier of fortune. now
dead, was known to both of
them-Lee Christmas, and how
he got into that business was
odd. He had a nagging wife
and. unable TO stand the nagging
any more, he Lit out for New
Orleans, which was the most
distant city he could think Of.
He still had some money left
nd decided that he would feel
afer by crossing water. He took
boat across the Gulf OF Mex
co, and from then on it was
accident.
An acquaintance learned that
Christmas could rum n locomo-
tive and he got a job. Then
somebody nobody much cares
who) organized n revolution,
buying 500 out-of-date machine
guns and ammunition.
The machine guns, though,
had no firing pins. The reyoln-
tionists had no more money and
the revolt wouldn't have come
of. Except that Christmas
heard about II, said II was easy
TO make firing pins, and set out
TO do IL.
He hand-forged 500 of them.
was made a colonel and gained
a wide reputation, because the
revolutionists won. Thereafter,
anybody who was staging a
revolution hired Lee Christmas,
and he earned enough money
so that he subsequently retired
as a brigadier general.
There was talk. also. Of the
town Of Tombstone. Jim Welsh
says he checked some old pa
pars and there used to he 80
or 40 violent deaths a month
which were reported IS pro-
saicslly as automobile deaths
are now.
Incidentally, he said, Tomb
stone had the first Boot Hill.
name later applied to cemeteries
in other places. In Tombstone
Boot Hill the only people buried
there who did not die with their
boots on were a Chinese who
used to dig the graves, and his
wife. -

No Orchestra
But Dance
Success Anyhow

Saturday nights Red Cross bene-
lit dance at the Montezuma Ball
room was a big financial success
and very delightful affair, marred,
however, by the fact that almost at
the last. moment the committee in
charge found that the orchestra
which was to play would not be on
hand.
But the dance went on regardless
CT absence of an orchestra, music
for dancing being, furnished by
Charley Bauer's music box and from
some records loaned by the high
school.
According to Albert Manuel, man.
ager of the Montezuma Hotel. the
leader Of the orchestra which was
to play, came into the hotel about
s pm. Saturday and stated they
would not play. This, despite an
arrangements for the orchestra had
been made with L. Robles, a men,
Der Of the orchestra, and, inciden-
tally. mighty fine young man.
According to Manuel the sum Of
$50 was to have been paid six
musicians fon a period Of four hours,
and according to Robles the leader
of the orchestra (name unknown,
at almost the last moment virtually
went on strike and demanded $25
for himself and union wages for the
other three members of his band.
Robles said the figure of $50 had
been definitely agreed upon.
i AT the dance Attorney Duane
Bird, master of ceremonies, strongly
censured the leader of the orchestra
for refusing to play and the crowd
shouted it's approval Of his remarks.
It particularly incensed those pres
ent for the reason that the dance
was !, for the benefit Of the Red
Cross.

Suitable Substantial Salads
For A Mans Home Lunch

You know that saying sit happens
in the best of families" Well, that's
the remark I heard the other day and
discovered that the woman who made
the remark was referring to the fact
that her husband had very unexpect
eddy taken a day off from the office
and had parked himself in an easy
chair at home to relax-this meant
lunch for him and all sorts of extra
work such as the man of the family
can cause when he spends a day at
home-This particular woman wasn't
caught short though and she gave me
an idea to pass ONT seems she's dis
covered that men love beans, hot or
cold and inasmuch as most of them
like salads, she just put her beans in
a salad for him with great success.
So, for the benefit of all who might
be in the same spot one day, here are
two bean salads:
1 medium can baked red kidney
beans
1 cup celery, cut in pieces

QUEER DOINGS NOTED
IN BALTIMORE COUNTY

A case similar to others reported
from Florida and Georgia came to
light right here in good old Maryland
last week. 1t occurred in Baltimore
County.
Three teen aged boys approached
a Dundalk woman at her home and
asked her if she could tell them where
certain man lived. The woman sus-
pecting that the boys had run away
from home,e notified police, who in
vestigated
When County Police investigated
and questioned the boys, they found
that the man whom they were seek
ing had married the sister of two of
them and that they had come from
their home in Jones Creek section in
search of him.
The third boy told police that he
had found the two brothers chained
to tree in the back yard of their
home, and that he had released them.
The two brothers are II and IA years
of age.
According to the reports, the
mother of the boys is employed at
manufacturing plant in the neighbor-
hood. They stated that she left home
at A. M. and would return at 7
P. M. They further stated that at
about II A. M. their father had
chained them to the tree in the yard
and that he left home to go to work
at 3 P. M, leaving them chained to
the tree. They also stated that they
had not eaten anything from the time
they were chained until they came to

ARMY WORM IS
DEVASTATING TO
MANY FRUITS

According to r. 7. Grant, County
Agent, the army worm has been quite
prevalent in the county working on
corn, cowpeas, potatoes, tomatoes
and other food crops. One of the
most effective methods of control is
a poison bran mixture in the fields
where they are feeding, or across the
line of march when they are leaving
fields when food is scarce. A very
good bait for this purpose can be
made as follows:
% pounds of dry bran to 1 pound
of Paris Green. After this has been
mixed dry add 3 gallons of water,
to which has been added quarts of
cheap molasses.
This bait should be scattered in
the late afternoon by hand or by
using an end-gate seeder, at the rate
of about pounds to the acre.
After the worms have advanced
from one field to the other they may
be stopped by blowing deep burrows
in front of their line of advance and
dragging log back and forth in the
furrow until very fine dust mulch
has been worke dup. Post holes may
be dug in the bottom of such fur
row to trap the worms, but it is bet
ter to omit the post holes and keep
the drag in motion until the worms
have ceased travelling.
Army worm outbreaks usually
originate in fields of small grain or
grasses, especially where there is a
very rank growth of vegetation, or
where the grain has fallen down and
lodged.

Dundalk.


When the boys arrived in Dundalk
one of them still had a piece of chain
several feet in length secured to his
arm by a paddock, it is said.
When questioned, the parents are
said to have stated that they did it
to keep the boys out of mischief. Ac-
cording to reports of the police, the
boys seemed very much afraid of their
parents and asked that nothing be
said to them about the episode.
