Mr.. Hastings says: although the

London papers are telling us that
the after midnight lights in Amer

prised to notice that some people
are saying that we do not have a
midnight curfew in London. True,
we do not have it in theory, but in

he decided to give up magic alto

SeIfridge Plane
Loses Wing Tank;
Tree Demolished

An under-the-wing tank used
for chemical warfare purposes
dropped from a Selfridge Field
pursuit plane today and COM
pletely demolished a tree near
the home of Erich H. Splitter,
Sugar Bush road. The tank mar
rowly missed smashing the
house.
Mrs. Splitter stated that she
was at home working when she
suddenly heard a terrific crash
and thought a plane had crash
ed into the house. On investi-
eating, she observed that a tree,
about 20 feet from the house,
was completely demolished by
the force of the tank.
Selfridge Field authorities
were notified and the discarded
tank was taken back to the field.
Officials at the field stated how
ever that no one had reported
the loss of tank but 1t was be-
lieved that one of the planes
might have lost it without the
pilot knowing it.
Splitter stated that the tank
weighed nearly 200 pounds,
was about five feet long and was
empty.

Of Mount Clemens a justice of

Justice Parent, commenting
on the complaint filed against
him, said that he left Mount
Clemens on sick leave in the
fall of 1914, at which time he
announced publicly his inten-

of law and to his court when his
health would permit. He also

That defense counsel charges

However, with a new charter
now being drawn up and soon

that plans be delayed for time.
The new charter would allow a

That by reason of the present
warrant, Parent and Callens
caused to be issued lengthy
statements to newspapers pub

tiers untrue and libelous;
That "if Parent were in fact
a justice of the peace" the set

upon the court;
That Callens embarked on

his acts as a justice Of the peace
are a nullity, and in an preten-

he is an imposter";
The complaint, filed by Hugh

issued by the Circuit Court re-

prolonged legal maneuvering
has marked the case. AS yet no
legal use of the structure has
been possible.
During the hearings before
Judge Cash which followed an
earlier unsuccessful effort on
the part of the owners to obtain

stressed the alleged racial dis

Cash disposes of with this state
ment: "There are good reasons
for the denial of the license

ORDINANCE VALID
1--WE must conclude" the rul-
ing says in part, that the fail
ure by inadvertence or
negligence on the part of the Of
ficials to enforce a provision of
the zoning ordinance would not
work an estoppel against the
village. Therefore, we hold that
the zoning ordinance in this
case is reasonable; and that un-
der it the plaintiff has legal non
conforming use or right to op-
crate his business in a residen-
tial zone"
The st. Clair Shores village
zoning ordinance was enacted
in 1910; four years before the
present owners assumed title to
the building which, for many
years, had been a favorite haunt
of Detroit playboys and wealthy
devotees of gambling. The re-
sort had frequently been raided
by State Police during a period
of years prior to its closing.
Lawyers familiar with the
proceedings expressed the belief
that the owners of Blossom

decision to the Michigan SUI.
