DETROIT
MR GRILLS
A PASTOF DETROIT, Oct. 17. Offended at the reference which the Rev. Uwelyn Brown. pastor of the Temple Baptist church was reported t; have made last night to the strained relations between Mayor William William Hale Thompson of Chicago and Mayor James Couzens of Detroit, the latter dictated a wrathy letter to Mr. Brown today. He then &ave the letter to the press, explaining? in its final pimagraph that he wanted the pubHc to have the "benefit of its suggestions regarding- preparations for the second coming of Christ." Speaking of the reception which Detroit would give Christ today, the pastor is reported tj have said: "I fear it would be as cool as the reception accorded Chicago's mayor on his recent visit." The breach between Mayor Couzens and the Chicago mayor, re. called by tne report of the sermon and by the Couzens letter occurred last year when Mayor Couzens refused to attend, a conference to which Mayor Thompson invited him. . Its second episode occurred last week when Mayor Thompson, visiting Detroit with a cold welcome from Mayor Couzens. Following is Couzen's letter: "This morning's paper published what it alleges to bw portions of a sermon you preached last night on 'What attitude would our city take toward the second coming cif Christ.' "You are reported o have asked the question: 'Would the mayor. the city council, the leading business men and the citizens generally, give a welcome befitting his coming?' I fear it would be as cool as their reception accorded the Chicago mayor on his recent visit. "On that publicity has been given your sermon, I am taking the liberty of publicly asking the following questions. 'Would you, as the assumed head of your church, ask the city government to welcome a representative of the saloon interests, the underworld and the man who took the position the Chicago mayor did during the world war?" "The city government has endeavored during the past four years to discourage the coming to Detroit of men of that type, and it has U3ed the entire force of the law and the police department to keep these characters out of Detroit; but the impression goes out from your church that we should welcome them. "What would you suggest the city council and fhe mayor do when characters of tlfrs kind come to town? "Do you know the facts in connection with the visit of the Chicago mayor In Detroit? "Do you know that he was snubbed or ere you talking without knowledge of the facts, as many citizen? do? "May I ask what you would do different than the city government has done, in its efforts at law enforcement? "Perhaps you have been misquoted. If so I would like to be informed and in the meantime I am making this public so that the people may have thj advantage of your suggestions as to how we should prepare for the second coming of Christ. "Yours very truly, (Signed.) "JAMES COUZENS. "Mayor." RESTORE EIGHTH GRADE SAY HIGH Public Interest Aroused In Administration Of Schools. "Put the eighlti grade back into the public schools." That was the sentiment voiced today by alumnus of the Hammond high school, following Saturday's 50 to 0 football deleat by Gary and the serious Injury of two Hammond players. Ever since the eighth grade was abolished, cutting dewn the age of high school graduates, Hammond has been humiliated in inter-school athletics, it '.s declared. Floyd Murray, former football star and member of the Hammond high school elumlnum, declared that it will not be possible to have winning football teamg until the eighth grade is restored. "The most valuable men on a hith school football team must of necessity come out of the senior class." he declared, "because the under-graduates are not matured sufficiently. By reducing the average age of the players by a year, the Hammond high school has been given an almost unsurmountable handicap. Highteen-year-old athletes are better than seventeen-year-olds, it stands to reason." PI SH PI I'lLS TOO FAST "As a general proposition I believe that the system of Tiustling a boy through school is bad. I think that the average youngster should not enter college before he is nineteen, while as it is Hammond high school has been sending seventeen EE Un ADemorfam IX MEMOItlAM ELIZABETH YONKE In sad and loving memory of our dear daughter who passed away three years r. go today.

Melvin Monnett, on of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Hammond high school in athletics, voiced similar sentiments. "The crux of the whole situation is that we need the eighth grade back in our schools,' he declared. "Other schools have an advantage that we cannot overcome in athletics." The board of education is said to have under a consideration a plan to establish a Junior high school of three years to include the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, and to be followed by a three-year senior high school. Much criticism has been directed against this innovation. It is argued that in an industrial community the tendency is for the parent to encourage tho boy to go to work as soon as he has passed his sixteenth birthday. If at that time he is a. sophomore in high school the prWe of the pupil and the parent is more likely to have him finish up rather than quit without a diploma. AN EXCISE TO ftllT However, if the boy graduates from a Junior school at sixteen years, the parent is able to say, "Well, I put him through junior high school," and let him go to work.

If the weather continues favorable the races may be staged at a later date. Quite a large crowd gathered to wit ness the events and were much disappointed when they found the races could not be held. The, present board of education has .an unenviable job. For years school boards In Hammond have built only such buildings as were absolutely necessary and have failed to acquire ground for future schools. When L. L. Bomberger became a member .of the board, together with "Wilhelm and Tennant, the board started buying sites for schools and erecting buildings. The
The fascination of accumulating money is irresistible after you really get a little start. It's just like tennis or golf you have to urge a man to start, but once he gets a real taste of the game, he's off. It's fun then to accumulate money and accomplish things with it. . ri A good way to start is to pay yourself first every pay day and then live on the rest. Ever try it?

result is that the appropriations have not been sufficient and the tax levy will have to be increased fi-ther. Considering that the school city is desperately in need of buildings and of money it seems a poor time to experiment with a Junior high school. "It would seem that the system of schools used in nearly all the cities of the country and prevalent throughout Indiana, consisting of eight grades and four years of high
I school is the sensible plan." de clared one prominent citizen today. "What we need is to have our scholastic and r.thletlc standing raised" to where it stood years ago. The old system of eight years of grade school and four years high school was good enough then and it still is. Why try another experiment? Abolishing the eighth grade was supposed to be a great advancement but It was a singular failung."

WEIRD TALE TOLD BY THE PRINCIPALS (Continued from Page One) Mary Griffiths, a nurse and the next door neighbor o. Mrs. McNally, said today that she attended Mrs. McNally during her confinement. She told of the times she saw the babies, of the mother's attitude toward the children, and the subsequent rumors she heard of dolls re. placing the live infants. "Mrs. McNally and I were neighbors," said the nurse. "About noon on the 8th of December. Mr. McNally called me and told me that they had twins and for me to eoniii over soon, but not to hurry that everything was all right. "I was naturally anxious to sen them, but when I came there Mra. McNally would not let me toucli the babies. I saw their faces. She told me that one was a boy, weighing four pounds, and that the other was a girl, welghin? three pounds. "I saw the babies nursed and I know that they were alive, Mrs. McNally told me that she was a trained nurs and I therefore did what she told me. I did not bathe the Infants, I did r.ot touch them, at all. "When .any one came into thi room, Mrs. McNally would cover their faces. She said they had weak eyes because the mulwife had used too much boraclc acid right after birth. I learned later that no one attended her during the delivery and that only Mr. McNally wafl home when the babies arrived. "Mrs. McNally was not happy over her children, and frcm time to tlmi told me that she thought the girl would not live long. "One morning th 17th I rami In and found Mrs. McNally wiping blood from the mouth and nose of the boy. The baby looked sort at dead to me. I did not'see his faco after that at any time. I don't know whether she ever picked that bundle or not. She removed the bloody little dress and I put it into colT water to take the .hlood stains out. Mrs. McNally told mo not to bother as she would send the little garment to the laundry. "Whether the baby was dead at the time or not I do not know. I do know that a baby which hai been suffocated wil often times bleed at the mouth and nose when brought to thfi air again. "I left the following day.
