Too Old for Service,
But He Assists Army

SELFRIDGE, FIELD, MICH.-A
7S-year-old mechanic and black
smith, too old for combat service but
eager to serve his country, is helping
the army air forces to keep 'em
flying at Selfridge Field. But that's
only part of the story. In addition
He commutes daily from south
west Detroit, 80 miles one way, go
miles round trip-by bus, by street
car transfer to Eight-Mile Road and
Gratiot, and thence in friends auto
mobile through Mount Clemens and
on to his anvil and forge
He invests 10 per cent of his salary
in war bonds-$5O every three
months. =
He's helping organize an all-sol-
der field-taleHt theatrical cast, call
ing upon his production experience
gained in vaudeville trouping and on
World War camp stages in France.
Alfred M. rockingham is his
name. He and his wife, Hattie, re-
side in Detroit at 1921 18th street.
They've been married Is years.

law-abiding citizens following the
disclosure by Warden F. D. Hender-

Henderson, a former Ohio national

a battalion of the prisoners with
good records and four times each
week they are permitted the free

Immediately following Pearl Har-
Dor, Henderson reported, prisoners

War Brings With 1t More
Preventive Medicine Use

Recognition of the fact that local
doctors and nurses are being called
away for military service has
brought health matters, particularly
preventive measures, to the fore on
the home front, authorities say.
Most popular among the studies
which more than 81 900 rural home
makers will take up in their fall pro-
grams will be the prevention of the
common cold with its attendant
companions, flu and pneumonia.
A trend toward preventive meas
ures is foreseen. Causes and pre-
vention of communicable diseases
and symptoms and care of commu-
nicable diseases are other popular
studies which homemakers have
written into their fall programs so
they may put practical interpreted
ton on the old adage, IAN ounce of
prevention is worth pound of
cure"
Miss Brooks meets with the key
leaders of each of the home bureau
units in a county, and these women
in turn relay the information they
have received to the members of
their units. Through this means
they gain access to reliable informa-
ton on cancer, tuberculosis, health
before and after 40, and other physi-
cal and mental hygiene problems.
First aid continues to be the
theme for many so-called minor les
sons. Minor lessons are subordi-
mated to the main study which the
homemakers take up when they
meet. First-aid cabinets and first
aid kits for home, school and auto
are exhibited. The supplies and
price lists are discussed.

Trustee McInerney moved the adOp-
ton Of the following resolution:
In the passing Of J. ID. Haven, the
City Of WyandOtte has lost one OF Its
most outstanding citizens. From the
beginning Of his work as editor or the
WyandOtte Herald when he reported
the commencement Exercises In 1885
he has done most ID the legal printing
and general shop printing for the
Board of Education in this city. The
excellence Of his workmanship and his
dtpendability reflected the type OF
character Of the man himself. His
friends were legion, his enemies were
none. He stands as an example OF
sturdy American citizenship which will
be an inspiration to young and old
through the years to come.
Therefore be it resolved that the
Board Of Education of the School Dis
trict Of the City Of WyandOtte mourn
with the entire city. his loss and ex-
tend to his son and relatives their
sincere sympathy and condolences.

State, Local Governments
Now Hiring Older Women

Hiring of married women and re-
laxing Of age limits so older and
younger workers may be obtained
for jobs are among steps taken to-
day by state and local governments
to combat loss of employees to the
armed forces and higher paying war
industry jobs, according to informa-
ton to the civil service assembly Of
the u. S. and Canada.
Several state and municipal civil
service agencies are reaching out
to their high schools for replace
ments.
State and local governmental re-
'cruitment activities in Georgia,
Michigan, Chicago and Cincinnati in
dictate extent to which age and other
requirements have been relaxed. the
assembly said.
Georgia's department of health is
using, on half-time basis for Office
work, high school seniors majoring
in commerce, while representatives
of Michigan's civil service commits
sion speak before high school classes
as much as possible to attract grad
uating students to state employ
ment
Seventeen-year-old boys were used
this summer as life guards at Chi
cago's beaches by the Chicago park
district, which reports there were
no drownings at the beaches during
the period. On the other hand, Gin
cinnati recently began conducting
tests for typists between the ages of
90 and 60.
Accompanying this relaxation of
age limits is the emphasis being
placed on recruitment of married
women, the assembly said. Penn
sylvania's department of health, for
example, is making use of house
wives with nursing experience for
parttime nurses.

BristIes Gathered From Ground

The Chinese hog, foraging in the
forests, sheds bristles in the warm
months as he rubs against the trees.
Most of the half pound of glistening
back bristles per hog are collected
from the ground. Then they are
delivered to village warehouses, and
shipped to such export centers as
Tientsin, Hankow, and Chungking
where they are sorted for quality,
color and length. About one-fourth
of them may be two inches or short
er; one-half may run two to three
inches. One-tenth, running four
inches and over, bring a high mar
ket price. Bundling and sterilizing
complete preparations for export.
Shoemakers and saddlers are steady
customers for the finest imported
bristles. Manufacturers of toilet
and clothes brushes buy top grades.
War uses for bristles include the
carding of wool for uniforms and
blankets and the painting of bar
racks, production plants, planes,
tanks, trucks, ships. Few instru-
ments of war escape the brush.

Excellent Maid
Really Cleans Up
War Bonds Disappear, Even
Sells Furniture.

TOLEDOe-Mrs. Leo M. Buckley
complained to the police that the
Chicago girl she hired as a maid
after reading her excellent refer
ences stole nine SIS war bonds, two
rings, a pearl necklace, a watch and
obtained S25 deposit on the Buck
ley furniture which she sold to
furniture company.
Only the arrival of l5-year-oid
Richard Buckley while the van from
the furniture company was starting
to load the furniture kept the family
from sleeping on the floor that night.
The maid had disappeared before
the van arrived and the son tele-
phoned his mother and asked her
why she had sold all the furniture.
Mrs. Buckley told police she had
hired the maid only a few days
earlier to care for her children while
she worked in the shop her husband
owns. The maid presented many
Chicago references.
Officials Of the furniture company
said the maid telephoned and rep
resented she was the LADY of the
house" and called on them to ap-
praise and buy the furniture. A
price was agreed upon and the SIS
was paid as down payment to seal
the deal.
The maid then left with the money
and the loot. leaving a small child
alone in the house.

Plenty Clothing For All
minimum Needs Bought

Women who are buying clothing
for themselves or for members Of
their families this fan are advised
to consider both themselves and the
needs Of other buyers. There is
clothing enough for all civilians if
each woman buys only for real
needs.
Last years fan and winter clothing
should be taken out of storage and ex.
amined before any buying is done.
Dresses, suits. and coats bought
last year still will be in style be-
cause lines have not been changed
much. If the clothing was cleaned
and stored properly some Of it will
be ready to wear Immediately.
Some garments will need minor
repairs, others will have seen so
much service that major alterations
are desirable.
Wool has increased in price SO it
is difficult to fin pure wooden gar
ments in low price ranges. This is
another reason why old clothing con-
tanning good materials should be
used whenever possible. Some of
the blended fabrics now on the mar
het are INFESTED for long wear so
all buyers should read labels care
fully and ask questions when labels
are missing.
The blended fabrics have a disad-
vantage in being more difficult to
clean. Materials which will remove
spots safely from wool may damage
other fibers mixed with the wool.
Mothers with children of pre-
school age should remember the pos
sibility of fuel shortages this win
ter and that the coolest air in
room is near the floor where small
children spend most of their waking
hours.

Woman Wins Fame
AS Antique Queen
Now Is Authority on Early,
American Furnishings.

BANGOR, MICH.-Are you inter-
.ested In antiques, but too busy to
do much more than talk about them?
Read, then, what country doc
tors wife did with the same interest.
Nearly Is years ago she ran across
some furniture of Civil war days.
She brought it home and went after
more. She's still at it. Now Mrs.
Kathryn Murphy is a recognized
authority on early American furnish
ings and owns a furniture display
depicting the home life of Americans
during the war years from colonial
days through the First World war.
She is known as ''the antique queen
of America"
Her display, dressed up by the use
of wax figures wearing authentic
clothing of each period, includes
colonial parlor, an imperial parlor,
Victorian parlor, dining room, bed
room and kitchen; Civil war par
lor, bedroom and kitchen; a gay
nineties parlor and bedroom and
World war / parlor. Each room is
complete from rugs on the floor to
knickknacks on the whatnot shelves
The Civil war kitchen even has a
bootjack for grandfather to use in
removing his shoes.
A treasured object is Franklin
