Vets Ask Employers
to Oust Single Aliens
Detroit.—<-A resoiutidn urging em
doyers to discharge all unmarried
aliens who claimed exemption during
the world war, and give their positions
to needy ex-service men#i was adopted
Monday night at a -meeting of the
Wayne county conn»il of the -Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
Thirty-live thousand ex-service men
in Detroit are without jobs, while
<i0,000 unmarried aliens, many of whom
have been residents of the country ten
years, but never have taken out Grst
citizenship papers, are at work, accord
ing to the resolution. These aliens, it
is added, claimed exemption from mili
tary service during the war, while the
lo.OOO ex seryice men gave up posi
tions to serve their eouDtry.
The action is urged especially in
»iew of the fact, according to the reso
.ution, that America owes something
to her defenders, and that when ex
jervioe men enlisted in government
service their employers with one ac
cord' promised them positions on their
etum.
fle’d Offset Short:
Skirts By Blinders
Chicago.— LoDger skirts for women,
.ower steps for street ears, or blinders
?or men—Chicago must have one of the
three in order to prevent a steady in
crease in accidents, Alderman -Lee
Klein declared Tuesday in introducing
an ordinance before the city council
proriding for lowei street car steps.
“The women wear such short skirts
that when they start to climb up the
street car steps—well, the men can’t
jeem to keep their eye9 to the front,
and many accidents occur, particularly
among motorists,” Mr. Klein ex
plained.
The proposed ordinance was referred
m a committee.
Ford Stops Work in Cork.]]
Cork. Ireland.—All the construction
and the work of erection of the ma
chinery and other equipment of the
Ford automobile factory here has been
discontinued in consequence of the re
cent action of the Cork corporation in
calling on the Ford company to comply
with the alleged conditions of the fac]|
tory lease. One of these conditions is
said to provide that the firm employ a
minimum of 2,000 men for five years.
The Cork corporation charges that
only 1,600 men are being employed four
days weekly.

Put Learning' Before
Athletics, Taft Urges
Washingtoa.— -William Howard Taft,
chief justice of the United States sn^
preme court, came to the support Mon
day of those who would like to see
moro attention paid to learning in
American colleges and a little less to
big athletic events. ~
“These games for entertainment of
the people,” said the chief justice in
an address here, “are not making for
intellectual life. The object of a uni
versity is to promote learning, and the
attention to athleties has drawn away
students from earnest work. 1 hope
the tendency is growing the other
way.”
The chie: justice did not recommend
the abolition of athletics, but thought
the present “big spectacles” should be
done awav with.
