post- office department has issued instructions to rural carriers to distribute grain along their routes for starving birds, when supplies are furnished. The action is said to have been taken as the result of a request by game warden in one of the states, asking that carriers be permitted to take a part in this work, whenever they wished to do so. The order sent out by the postal system says "It is hoped that rural carriers will render all possible assistance in this good cause." Eight Cases of "Flu." Eight cases were reported to the health department this morning, and it is understood that a number of the doctors are classifying it as "grip" and not making any report of the cases. It seems that flu cases are required to be quarantined and "grip" is not, although it is hard in many cases for even the medical men to tell the difference between the two, if any. Of the eight cases reportej to the department this morning, three of them were in one family.

While some people seem to think the present trouble is flu, there have been very few deaths from it this winter, while four years ago, when the epidemic struck Battle Creek, the mortality rate was high. Miss Seibert Coming. Miss Frances Seibert, director of physical training in the public schools for a number of years, who left here about a year and a half ago to take charge of physical training In connection ith a large settlement in the Hawai ian islands, will be In Battle Creek for a brief visit perhaps for a day some time next week. Word has just been received from her by Mrs. Desssalee Ryan Dudley, assistant superintendent of schools.

Miss Seibert was called to her home in Coudersport, shortly before Christmas, by the serious sickness of her mother, who, happily, Is now very much better. Miss Seibert will leave in a few days on her return to the islands sailing from San Francisco February 14, and she will stop off on the way. In Battle Creek to see some of the old friends. Discusses Sunday Schools. The Sunday Sphool Workers union met last night at the First Baptist church.

Supper was served at 6.30 and a large and enthusiastic audience remained to hear Dr. Goodrich discuss matters pertaining to Sunday school work. His talk being along the line of Jesus as a teacher, he brought out the fact that too many of the teachers were not familiar enough with the subject they are teaching, while taking Jesus for an example. He was a master of the work he taught. An opportunity was given for all who wished to ask questions which were answered by the speaker.

The principal difficulty among the Sunday schools seems to be lack of a efficient teachers, it developed. The next meeting will be held during the month of February. Plan Annual Banquet. Members of the Federation of Y. W.

1 CLASSIFIEDS FOR RESULTS COM3 I comes to some sort of an agree territory on thd part of tho Allies, revolt. Bavaria, to the south of and Indications are that Hitler, Berlin rule. Munich, capital rf the Legislature ed that me olher large counties, such as Kent and Genesee may not support the Wayne fight for representation. Representative A. W.

Miles of Big Rapids, who offered a resolution in the house memorializing congress to pla.ee coal mines under government control, believes that such action is the only solution of the fuel famine problem. He beieves that as long as the Pennsylvania mines are private ly operated Michigan will be in danger of a fuel shortage. W. W. Pot ter, state fuel administrator, agrees with him, and Governor Groesbeck is not opposed to the idea.

The University of Michigan and the Michigan Agricultural college appropriation bills may be submitted to the legislature for general discussion and disposition about as they were introduced. The reason is that the budget committee of the state administrative board made no recom niendation concerning the building programs at these institutions. The University measure calls for more than and the M. A. C.

for about $3,000,000. The ways and means committee in the house and the finance and appropriations com mittee in the senate will probably pare' all appropriations measures for which a recommendation was made in the budget report, to near the recommended figure. The house ways and means committee and the senate finance anJ appropriations committee, by the way, will probably have to do most of the cutting on appropriation measures. Institutional committees get the appropriation bills first, but they usually are inclined toward liberality. Before reaching the floor, however, the bills go to tbe finance committee, and it is up to that body to fit the requests to the money in the state's pocketbook.

Representative John Holland of Bessemer, would like to see all lakes, rivers and forests opened to the puo lie, even if privately owned. The people, he thinks, should be permit ted to have access to aft natural re sources In the state. The insurance bill submitted to the senate, proposing to permit the state to operate its own rate making bureau, is primarily aimed at the Michigan Inspection Bureau. It has the endorsement of L. T.

Hands, state insurance commissioner, and Governor Groesbeck. The state some time ago accused the bureau of fixing discriminatory and unjust rates. The bill will ultimately come to the house insurance committee, which is composed of five men interested in the insurance business. The members, however, say that the bill will be reported out for consideration in the CLEVELAND GROUP TO CONTROL CHESAPEAKE Interstate Commerce Commission Grants Authority in Connection with Ohio Lines. (By the Associated Press) Washington, Jan.

31. Authority was granted by the interstate commerce commission to the Van Swer-lrvgen group of Cleveland, which now controls the New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad i and other fines in the middlewest, to take over control of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, by assuming seven places on its board of directors.

Sidelights on A bill shortly will be Introduced in the legislature proposing to amend the automobile tertificate.of title law to eliminate double payment for certificates involved in the tra.isfer of used cars. Tho law provides that dealers, when a used car is taken in, must secure a new certificate.

The amendment will provide that the transfer from former owner to new owner can be accomplished with a single new certificate. The proposed change will have the en dorsement of Charles J. DeLand, secretary ot state. It Is estimated that it will save dealers nearly $100,000 a year. It is understood that measures prescribing state laws to regulate the operation of airplanes will be, submitted to the legislature.

It is claimed that they are becoming so numerous that laws are necessary to protect human life. One of the bills, it is said, will attempt to prevent fliers from sailing too close to crowds gathered at fairs. Some legislators believe that it will not be many years before the department of state will have to add an air vehicle division to its license department. The first measure introduced in the legislature attacking the centralized system of state government was not a democratic measure, in the sense of the word, according to Representative George M. Long, its sponsor.

His bill 'proposed to de. prive the governor of his veto power in the state administrative board and he asserts that it was offered for the good of the state, and not because of party affiliation. Representative Long is a democrat. The republican state affairs committee was unimpressed with his argument. It voted to pigeon hole the measure.

The question being asked in the house now is whether an attempt will be made to relieve the commmit-tee ot the bill and bring it onto the floor. It is understood the introducer will make the effort and there are some legislators who believe he can muster sufficient votes. Representative Ate Dykstra of Grand Rapids, submitted a bill proposing to Increase the marriage license fee to ten dollars and publish the declaration of intention of the affianced persons. A committee clerk, wearing an engagement ring, read the bill. "There they go," she said, "trying to tie hard knots in Cupid's bow." Bills designed to -tighten the state's blue sky laws are due In the ing the securities commission the right to regulate sales of stock in the state by mail which it has not now to dove tail with the congressional measure proposing Interstate regulation of security transactions.

The bill will be endorsed by the securities commission. More fire arms measures probably will appear in the legislature soon. One has been introduced in the senate designed to curb the possession of revolvers. In the codification of criminal laws to be submitted by Representative G. C.

Watson there likely will be a provision for the registration of all fire arms. The governor, in his message to the legislature, asked that it go "as far as it can" to repace the parts of the alien fire arms act passed by the 1921 legislature, which were held invalid by the supreme court. Apportionment is a stock subject of discussion among members of the legislature. Interest centers around the Wayne county effort to secure representation strictly according to population. With about one-third of the state's it should, on the face of things, be entitled to about one third or 30 or more representatives and 10 senators.

However, a small number of counties having a small population but more than a moeity, are, under the constitution, entitled to single representation. The constitution limits the number of representatives and there would not -be enough tor go around if the large counties were all given exactly what they were entitled to. The general guess is that Wayne will get between 20 and 24 representatives and perhaps seven senator.
