Third Bribery
Warrant Issued


LANDING, sept. 20 - w -
William j. Burns, executive Sec
rotary of the Michigan State
Medical Society, surrendered to-
day TO grand jury warrant
charging him with attempting TO
bride a member of the Michigan
legislature.
Burns demanded a municipal
court examination on the charge,
which was set for October 7. and
was released in bond of $500.
He declined TO comment on
the warrant, which grew from
the testimony of Rep. Warren G.
Hooper, Albion Republican, that
Burns had offered him the va
cation trip to California to in
fluence his decision as legisla-
tor. he referred all questions 10
his attorney, Joseph w. Planck.
NO COMMENT
Plsnek said, We don't want
TO comment in any way"
Circuit Judge Leland w.
Carr's one-man grand jury,
which indicted Burns Monday in
the course of its investigation of
charges of graft and corruption
in the legislature, announced at
the same time its proceedings
were about all over but the ar
resting.
Attorney General Herbert j.
Rushton, its chief prosecutor,
said only a few more witnesses
would be called before the jury
takes a recess Wednesday, and
that so far as he now knows all
warrants which may grow from
the inquiry will be based on ties.
timony already in the record.
Rushton said il now looks as
though seven or eight" per-
sons in all would be arrested.
Three warrants have been is
sued here as a result of the
probe, and four are expected TO
be issued in Detroit.
BROAD INQUIRY
A broad field of legislative
action back TO and including the
1889 legislature has been COW
cred in the probe, but all Of the
warrants issued or requested
thus far have dealt with action
on anti-branch banking, cosme-
tology and health insurance
legislation.
Names of the so witnesses
subpoenaed have indicated that
horse and dog racing bills,
small loan interest rate regula-
tory bills, milk marketing, liq-
uor and a variety Of other meas
ures which were surrounded by
hot controversy and runlor were
investigated. Speculation on
what went on behind the grand
jury's locked doors perforce
must remain just speculation,
since il would be an act in con-
tempt of the court TO go farther.
RETURN WITNESSES
Some of the witnesses sub
poenaed have been in the jury
room repeatedly, among them
Rep. William c. Stenson, Green
land Republican, whose pub
hcly aired charges that he was
offered a 81 900 bribe in connec-
ton with the anti-branch bank

Rowing Bomber Squadron Holds
Record for Continuous Combat
Men Won More Thun 500 Mojor Medals;
Planes Have Become Service Traditions

there has been only one crew chief

Many times our men have run
missions after loading the bombs

now pending. This computation
does not include veterans who were
transferred to other squadrons or
have been killed.

combat queens that they are ira

There is no better way to con-
clude this story of worldwide ad-
ventures than by citing the fact
that the squadron holds the record
for continuous combat record
overseas without requirements. At

from q year to 16 months Of combat
flying and the combat members have
between II and a missions each to
their credit, many with over 800
hours Of action. This Is . record
insofar as pure combat missions
count.
No one challenges the statement
that this is the most travelled squa-
dron of the war. Our first flight was
5000 miles and since that time we
have fought against all Axis part

nomination by the Democratic
party" said Miss Mary r. Hennes-

After this action was taken, Mr..
Monagan spoke to the group on the
clubs contributions to the political
successes of the Democratic party
in previous elections. Although he
did not formally consider himself
a candidate. the 3l-year- chief
executive thanked the women for
support given him in 1899 and 194l,

aldermen. He expressed his tribute
to the late Mayor Vincent A. Scully

SERVICE WEDDINGS
SHOULD INCREASE

Naval weddings with bride, groom,
ushers and attendants in full dress
will bring rush Of uniforms to the
altar now that restrictions concern
ing intermarrying in the male and
female branches Of the Navy, Coast
Guard and Marine services have
been lifted. Previously women in
these services could not marry men
in their own category, nor could
they be married to sailor, coast
guard or marine. Later. this was
modified so that WAVES and
SPARS who had been organized by
that time were permitted to marry
servicemen, provided they were in
different branch. Thus, a WAVE
could marry a marine, soldier or
coast guardsman, though a navy
man was taboo.
Under this new ruling women
serving their country may marry
anyone Of their choice. Two restric-
tons which are still retained, how
ever, are those which stipulate that
an applicant already married to a
serviceman must enlist in a differ
ent branch, and that WAVES,
SPARS and Marine Reserves may
not marry until they complete their
indoctrination and specialist train
ing. which requires from one to four
months.

FOURTH OF SIX ARTICLES -
General Purpose Chickens
Likely Choice For Amateurs
Prepared for NEA Service BY che
Department Of Agriculture,
Bureau Of Animal Industry

The prospective owner Of a back
yard flock Of chickens has O wide
range Of breeds and varieties from
which to choose. Most Of them have
been developed in response to mar
ket needs, preferences Of breeders,
and the taste of fanciers. There also
are varieties Of game chickens, de-
veloped and still used In some coun-
tries, for fighting. A few other var
ieties, including bantams, are kept
for ornamental purposes or as pets.
The breeds raised for utility pur-
poses fall into three main groups.
Light, general-purpose, and heavy.
Each group comprises several breeds
and varieties. The most common
light breed Is the Leghorn, excel
lent as q layer, but not so desirable
as a producer Of meat except for
small-sized broilers. Leghorn eggs
are white. The general.purpose
breeds include the Plymouth Rock,
Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte and
New Hampshire. There are several
varieties Of some Of these breeds
and they all lay brown or tinted
eggs. Strains Of these breeds that
are bred for high egg production
lay well and also make good table
poultry. Typical heavy breeds are
the Jersey Black Giant and Brah-
ma. Mature specimens Of the heavy
breeds sometimes weigh 10 to IL
pounds, thus providing about as
much meat as q small turkey.
CONSIDER TEMPERAMENT
The back yard poultry owner will
do well to pick the breed and var
iety he likes best because that is the
kind he Is likely to give the best
care. Chickens Of white and other
light plumage are preferred by some |
poultrymen because the pin feath-
ers Of such birds are inconspicuouS.
But this characteristic Is Offset by |
the tendency Of light-colored birds |
to get dirty and appear unattrac-
tive under average city conditions.
The temperament Of birds as well |
as their size and color merits con.
sideration. In back yards and we'll |
developed suburban areas fowl Of |
quiet disposition, such as the gen.
eral-purpose and heavy breeds, are
less likely to annoy neighbors than
the smaller, more active ones. on
the other hand, active nervous birds
OF Leghorn type are easier to keep
in laying condition and are broody
less often than the larger birds.
NO BREED PERFECT
Leghorns Weighing up to 2 pounds
make desirable broilers. and good
laying strains are readily available.
The general-purpose birds usually
are preferable for both meat and
eggs. The young stock Of these
breeds are good broilers and fryers.
Also, when they mature, reaching q
weight Of 5 pounds or more, they
make excellent roasting chickens.
Even after the hens of these breeds
have laid many eggs and have pass
ed 2 years Of age, they are good
eating II properly cooked. Old birds,
however, are inclined to get over
fat II fed literally and some strains
are inclined to 90 .broody frequent
ly.
From the foregoing comments II
is apparent that no one bird or
variety has all the good points,
and that each has certain merits
to At individual needs and prefer
