Only Males Chirp

Insects don't chirp in unison,
as people probably think they
do, it just sounds that way. In
a chorus of crickets or katy
dds, it's every man for him
self, and they are males, since
it's only the males that can
chirp.

Skin Game

about 1898 was turned over q
the salesman.
In most cases, the monetary
loss hurt most, the police CHIEF
said after interv<--ng some OF
Wright's many customers. How
ever, in isolated insta n e s.
clients were more upset about
the loss Of the photograph they
gave the salesman for making
the tapestry portrait.
VALUED PHOTOGRAPHS
Many of those who ordered
from Wright gave him their last,
precious photo of loved one
overseas-often a son or hus-
band killed in action.
Wright kept the photographs
in a jumbled heap in his hotel
room. They were thrown into
a tailor's cardboard box which
had once contained a suit.
The salesman who Chief Flech.
sig said made money hand over
fist" is held in Jail on the au-
thority of a warrant authorize
ton charging him with larceny
by trick. The warrant is destined
for Justice Sam Robinson's court,
in Center Line.
HIT 10 COMMUNITIES
In Wright's hotel room Flech-
sig found pictures and orders in
the following proportions from
vari ous communities: Center
Line, 8; Warren Township, IS;
Pontiac, 33; Birmingham, 5;
Ferndale. 6: Detroit, 81; Royal
Oak, z; Highland Park, IL; Au-
burn Heights, q, and Ann Arbor
/.
Flechsig was aided in his in
vestigation by Patrolmen Char
les Miller and Earl Parrish; as
sistant fire chief Ralph Reiter-
man, and by Mrs. Emily Flech-
sig, who spent many hours sort
ing out the salesman's records
According to Chief Flechsig' S
reconstruction of the involved
case, aided by evidence in the
records the sa e m n kept,
Wright started out early in the
summer equipped with attrac-
tive samples and order books
obtained for a SIS deposit from
the Hollywood Portrait Compa-
ny, New York.
ATTRACTIVE EMBLEM
The chief points out that the
firm not only is a responsible
concern, but that the tapestry
portrait they manufacture is an
attractive and inspiring patriotic
emblem.
Wright wrote scores of orders
for the firm, using his correst
name and filling in the order
book correctly. No orders, OF
very few, were turned over to
the company, because all re-
manned in Wright's possession
with the photographs attached
to them, the chief said.
During this period of his sales
manship, commencing last April
Wright sold each of the tapestry
jobs at the firms rate stipulated
on the order book: $6.95 each
with down payment of So.
Later, Wright either ran out
of order books with the firm S
name and address on them, or
did not care to identify his bust
ness in this manner, Flechsig
points out.
The salesman started to use
blank order books, and at the
same time charged prices for
the tapestry portraits according
to what "the traffic would
stand.
TOP PRICE $3.50
One order blank shows a
tapestry sold for $27.50. The
next blank in the book lists one
for $19.35, and Immediately fol-
lowing that sale two were sold

Hull added that he and the PreSi-

ton would be noticed not only by
Hitler, but also by the japanese war
lords"
In July, the former Secretary ex-
planned, the Japanese rejected a
proposal by the President that In
do-China be regarded as a "neu-
tralized" country and yet that Japan
be assured of opportunity to obtain
food supplies and other raw ma
terials there. He added:
THE President and I, in our ef-
fort to bring about the conclusion
Of an agreement, had endeavored
to present to the japanese govern
ment a feasible alternative to ia
pans indicated program of conquest.
We had made abundantly clear our
willingness to cooperate with Japan
in a program based upon peaceful
principles"
"Overt Act" in 1941.
The japanese military move into
Indo- China in 1941 was an ag-
gravated, overt act" Mr. Hull said,
adding: TT created a situation in
which the risk of war became SO
great that the United States and
other countries concerned were con-
fronted no longer with the question
of avoiding such risk, but from then
OH WITH the problem of preventing
complete undermining OF their
security. 1t was essential that the
United States make definite and
clear move in Self-defense.
1t was then that the President In
an executive order froze Japanese
and cMnese assets IN The United
States, the effect of which was "to
bring about very soon virtual cessa

Mr.. Hull discussed the proposed

Hull said He added:

Britain Warns Farmers
On Cooperation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Nov. 23.-Minister of
Agriculture Tom Williams told
British farmers last night that fail
ure to cooperate in the Labor Gov
ernments planned agriculture pro-
gram might mean confiscation of
their land.
In prepared radio address, Mr..
Williams said the governments pol
icy is intended ito ensure that land
is properly farmed, managed and
equipped.
He warned that, as "a last resort, -
land would be taken, at valuation,
from farmers and landowners who
fail to play their part"
There may be minority. small
minority" Mr.. Williams said, who
fail to fulfill the responsibilities at
taching to ownership or occupation
of the land. These we must have
the power to control, and we shall
seek legislative authority from Par
lament to serve compulsory direc-
tions."
The Socialist plan for permanent
control Of Britain's highly intensi-
fed agriculture was disclosed in
Commons last week. Regarded as
certain of passage, it would empower
the government to tell farmers what
they must grow. In return, markets
and prices would be guaranteed.
Mr.. Williams said farmers ane
owners would have the right to pu
their cases before independent
tribunals in the event of confsca
ton proceedings.

Chinese Nationalist
Claim Fall Of HuIutao
In Manchuria IS Near
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Nov. 23.-Na-
tionalist capture of the strategic
port of Hulutao is
imminent, press dispatches said
today, while Chinese Commu-
nists claimed belatedly the seiz-
ure of Yencheng and Tinghsien,
far to the south.
The Reds asserted oficially that
they took Yencheng, important
town 120 miles northeast of Nam
king, on November 10 and that
Tinghsien, on the Peiping- Hankow
railroad 40 miles north of Shihkiach-
wang, was captured October 27.
Hulutao already has been out
fanked by Nationalist troops driV-
ing into Manchuria against light
opposition.
Capture of the Communicated
port would give Nationalists de-
barkation point for seaborne forces
needed for the drive on Changchun,
Manchurian capital and focal point
of a race between the government
and insurgent troops.
Chinhsien Battle Expected.
The army mouthpiece, Ho Ping
Pao C'Peace Daily') alleged there
were about 10000 Communists al
ready massed at Chinhsien on the
Peiping -Mukden railway, about half
way between the Great Wall and
Mukden. 1t said Communists were
busily erecting defense works there.
The insurgent forces have threat
ened to give decisive battle at
Chinhsien.
A Communist spokesman charged
last night that the United States
was turning Shanghai into naval
base as part of a program to give
military and financial aid to Ma
tionahst China.
Work on Shanghai Alleged.
/ Without confirmation, the Com
munists spokesman declared that
work already had begun on the
Shanghai base.
/ The spokesman alleged the Unit
ed States would construct number
of naval bases along Chinas coast.
An official dispatch quoted Com
munist deserters as reporting that
the famous Communist general,
Hsiao Keh, was killed in action in
Inner Mongolia November 13.
