This warship has been brought to
Wyandotte for three reasons. First,
in celebration of Navy Day, Octo-
Der n. Second, in appreciation of
the great part Wyandotte has
played in winning the war and
third, as reminder to the resi-

beaches. According to 1t. Gg) Ches-
tel v. Podd, of Philadelphia, exec
utive officer of the Ism CR) 514,
the ship "can deliver a terrific
amount of firepower on a concen-
trated area and also has anti-air-
craft guns for protection against
enemy aircraft.
Primarily for use in invasion
OF enemy-held islands, she can go
close to the beach to deliver a lot
of firepower," he declared, "and for
her size has more fire power than
anything else in the navy"
Two members of the crew, which
includes four Michigan men, served

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF Scurrll-
Gus newspaper attacks an air OF
dignity has entered the question
of whether Wyandotte is to have
club for industrialists profess
sional and business men. With the
selection of Mr.. George Mobley :.
as representative of the directors,
a new feeling has arisen that gives
rise to the belief that the matter
will be dealt with in fashiol. that
BELTS clear-thinking men an d
women.
Those who originally voiced their
objections admit now they want no
part OF the yellow journalism that
oozed to a new low in unwarranted
ntud-throwing.
As Mr.. Mobley himself now puts
II, These are our friends. There
may be some things about the club
we are not aware Of"
In a gentlemanly manner and
through unprecedented assistance of
the Mayor and Council the issue Of
whether Wyandotte will have city

on the river will be decided
through a meeting of minds. A COM
mittee of interested persons has
already set themselves to the task.
It will be done in this fashion be-
cause the club members themselves
have voiced their determination
either to prove their objective is
worthwhile for the city of Wyan-
dotte or, should they fail, they
choose to be the first TO withdraw
their request.
This manner of decision speaks
well for all concerned. 1t leads us
to believe that out of the muck and
mire of foul journalistic tactics will
come a clear-cut understanding.
Those of the community who were
fortunate enough TO attend the
council session Tuesday were re-
warded with a display of fairness
and high principles.
Had not few residents tempers
been aroused through the reading
of distorted untrue statements
concerning the North Shore club the
matter might well have been settled
days ago. That 1t will be settled in
n manner befitting men and women

declaration Of many of the original
objectors: that they want no

BABY BLACK MART

BY HELEN ASHBY

WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-(UP)-
Existence of flourishing black
market in babies, with some 'ba-
by brokers' selling illegitimate in
fants to eager foster parents for
as much as 81. 900 apiece, was dis
closed tonight by Maud Morlock,
consul,ant on social services to the
Children S Bureau.
She ascribed the booming illicit
traffic in infants to combination
OF factors. including a sharp rise
in illegitimacy, lack of adequate
laws to deal with INSCRIPTIONS ba-
by brokers and the fact that the
supply OF babies available for
adoption is insufficient to meet de-
mands of Would-be foster parents.
The rate of illegitimacy has
more than doubled in the past two
years, she said, estimating that
one in every u births today Is

four in every 100 in 1912. Mos'
