“NEW YORK, March 10 — Volstead may or may not have dictated the fashion, but the New York custom cutters have announced on the eve of setting the spring styles, that the keynote of design for males this year will be pockets, pockets, and more pockets.
“Some of them, the cutters say, may hold a quart.
“CLEVELAND, March 10 — Police Judge Sawicki has refused to fine any of the score of men arraigned before him, arrested over the weekend when found carrying half pints of whisky in their hip pocket.
“‘Many respectable people carry a little around with them,’ the judge said, ‘It’s not against the law and I can’t see where an officer gets the right to search them.
"Where a person is known to have a gallon or more it may be proper to arrest him, but when it’s so small it can be carried in his back pocket–that’s different.’
“Announcement was made today by Mrs. Clara Earl, formerly of Traverse City, that she has leased with option to buy, the building formerly occupied by the Little Odd Shop for the purpose of conducting a hat store. This place will be known as the LaMode Millinery, and is expected to be ready for opening next Thursday morning ... The place before occupation by the Little Odd Shop was entirely redecorated and therefore is suitable for Mrs. Earl’s purpose.
“Charles T. Shaubel of Grand Rapids, state inspector of factories, workshops, hotels, stores and all public buildings, who has been here the past few days in connection with that department, stated today that he finds conditions in Manistee generally good and rules for safe operation of industries complied with.
“So far he has found practically no violation of the state law regulating employment of boys and girls under school age – 18 years. He states that any such cases will be vigorously dealt with ... All boys or girls under the age of 18 must secure a permit from the school board to work at regular employment after school hours or all day Saturdays ...
“Inspector Schaubel expects to be kept busy here for several days more, and hopes to find conditions everywhere as he has in the larger plants which he has already investigated.
“WASHINGTON, March 10 — Tentative recommendations of the government radio telephone conference ... for government supervision of wireless phone traffic were submitted to Secretary of Commerce Hoover today.
“The recommendations include:
“Designation of 20 wave lengths to be assigned to various phone uses.
“Suggestions that diverse types of radio apparatus be made freely available to the public without restriction of monopoly.
“Resolution urging increase of the legal authority of the secretary of commerce to control all radio transmitting stations except the amateur ...
“The amateurs ... are awarded exclusive use of 150 to 275-meter wave-lengths ... the figure suggested by representatives of the amateurs who testified at the conference.
“LONDON, March 10 — Mahatma Ghandi, leader of the non-cooperative movement in India, will be arrested today ... the Indian government stated.
“Grave fears of an uprising in India were felt here following the announcement. It has long been recognized that the arrest of Ghandi, who is regarded as a saint by many Indians and who has steadfastly preached passive resistance to British rule and the influx of western materialism, would be effected only in a desperate emergency.
“Lord Reading and the Indian government have been loath to arrest Ghandi, who because he is believed by the natives to possess miraculous powers, exerts tremendous influence throughout India.
“With his policy of passive resistance, he has consistently restrained Indian fanatics from violence and has in this way been of great service to the British government.
“MILWAUKEE, March 10. — Thomas A. Delaney, former federal prohibition director of Wisconsin, and Joseph Ray, former prohibition inspector, were found guilty of conspiring to violate the Volstead act by a jury in federal court here today.

“The Nelson Paint & Wallpaper company, well-known decorators, believe in practicing their profession upon themselves, as shown by the extensive improvements to their place of business at First and Division streets. Open house will be kept tonight and the public is invited to inspect the place.
“One of the most noticeable improvements is the removal of the stock of wallpaper to the basement. A new and more attractive scheme of showing the various patterns ... is in a series of panels which are hung along the wall and are removable.
“The basement has been entirely remodeled, with a concrete floor put in. A big system of racks has been built where all the wallpaper stock is obtainable at a moment’s notice. The interior of the store, from top to bottom, has been repainted. Every convenience for complete service to patrons has been installed.
“Deputy Income Tax Collector Biers of the Grand Rapids office completed his work here yesterday. During his visit about 100 taxpayers filed returns and about twice that many presented knotty questions which were straightened out. All tax reports and first payments must be made by Wednesday, March 15.
“Who remembers the ‘before and after taking’ advertisements which featured old-time newspapers? And the mustache cups of our fathers? And the loads of hay and wood that used to stand on the main streets? And the old coffee grinder that hung on the wall or wobbled unsteadily on mother’s lap? And the framed ‘Welcome’ sign above the door, and the ‘God Bless Our Home' framed and prominent inside the home?
“Away off in the big towns they are compiling glossaries of new slang put to work by the youngsters. Nowadays it is pretty difficult for ma and pa to know what the ‘goofs’ are talking about. Firinstance, a ‘cake-eater’ is a small-salaried male person who ‘gets by’ at social and other entertainments and makes no effort to repay his social obligations. A ‘goof’ is a ‘fellow, a sap, a fish, a bird.’ And a ‘wally’ is a goof with patent-leather hair. Additions to this glossary for the benefit of the old folk are invited.
“Mother was to entertain her club that afternoon, so little John Henry was sent over to the neighbors. There he was entertained with the sight of a litter (or should it be mess?) of Airedale puppies. But, even as it was, little John Henry hurried home before the club meeting was over. He rushed right in before Madame President and with highest elation reported: ‘Oh, Mother, I just saw a whole lot of air-tight puppies.’ The meeting adjourned.
“This incident is reported to us from Fourth Street. What other street can beat it?
“Noah Little says: Those who expect little from life usually get it.
“When a man comes home and finds his wife tearful he is likely to get an earful.
“A free-for-all fight in a New York family recently started over a game of old maid. With the world in its present temper there perhaps ought to be an edict no later than right now that croquet this summer be played with stuffed mallets.
“Down in Australia and New Zealand the folks are now saying, ‘Well, this looks like the beginning of a long, hard winter. ‘
Mar. 11, pg. 1
“Misfortune has come in a bunch to Frank Carlson, fisherman living on Sixth Avenue. The latest piece of ill luck occurred this morning when $2,000 worth of his nets were destroyed in a fire.
“Carlson had been employed on the steamer Pere Marquette 4 during the past winter. Stricken with an internal ailment ... he was compelled to undergo an operation.
“Although only partly recovered from the operation, he began preparations for the summer’s fishing. His nets were stored in a small building east of the American Woodenware company’s factory ...
“Carlson started a fire in the stove this morning. While working on his fishing-boat “Mary C." he suddenly discovered flames issuing from the building. Even though water was everywhere, he had no facilities to fight the blaze successfully.
“The Maple Street bridge-tender discovered the fire at the same time and turned in an alarm ... The fire department had difficulty in getting a hose down to the river, but when a stream was turned on, the blaze was soon extinguished.
“In fighting the fire Mr. Carlson injured himself again. He carries $1,900 insurance on his shanties.

“The Manistee High school basketball team went down to defeat last night before the Hart high school quintet at Hart, 27 to 17. The local team was unable to hold its opponent down during the last four or five minutes of play.
“The fly, that hibernating buzzard that makes its winter home on a silken light cord, shook its wings and flew about in the warmth of yesterday.
“Citizens who have any doubt about their right to vote April 3 are urged to inquire at the city hall. Registration is now being made and will continue until Saturday noon, March 25. The city offices will be open tonight and next Saturday until 8 o’clock for registration purposes.
“Who remembers, an old timer inquires, when Dunham House guests following a lavish meal at the old hostelry, could be seen in the lobby or on the steps picking their teeth with a spear-pointed gold toothpick, which each carried in a vest pocket or dangled ostentatiously at the end of a gold watch chain?
“Mrs. Otto J. Lauer and children have returned from Milwaukee where they have been with Mr. Lauer, who is undergoing treatment at the Milwaukee hospital for an affliction to his eyes. His ocular trouble was further complicated by infection caused by the use of a shaving cream, and altogether the Lyric manager has been having a tough time of it, and still is unable to use his eyes, although his condition is reported improved.
“It is better to be wrecked through over-zeal than to rot from over-caution.
“Gingham used to be a symbol of simplicity and frugality. Now it costs around $1 a yard and forms a handsome part of Milady’s summer wardrobe.
“Every person in the United States pays a quarter of a cent annually to support the president. We’re through knocking. Any kind of president is worth that.
“According to the glossary of up-to-date slang, now being introduced by the ‘cake-eaters’ and ‘flappers,’ we have with us today the ‘tomato.’ The ‘tomato’ is a very handsome young thing who can dance like a whirlwind, but as to other accomplishments is a complete ‘dumb-dora.’ A ‘kibitzer’ is a man who stands around a card game and gives unasked advice, or in a dance hall is a noisy wallflower. A ‘dumb-dora’ is a stupid girl. A ‘rug-shaker’ is a girl addicted to the ‘shimmy’ habit.
Mar. 13, pg. 3
“The Manistee Teachers club scored again Saturday night in presenting the Di Giorgio concert company to an audience that nearly filled the Lyric theater. This organization gave a program of music that was of more than ordinary merit and quickly won the plaudits of the audience ...
“The program ... varied from the well-known classics to popular concert numbers. Several popular old-time melodies were also played ...
“The next number on the lyceum will be given Wednesday, March 22, by Elwood T. Bailey, well known lecturer. The Teachers club explains that the proceeds from the entertainments so far have been just enough to meet expenses, which is all that is desired. The club hopes the public will again respond at the next number in order to encourage further community entertainments. (Interesting note: This article is the first local social-interest article on page 3 to be accompanied by a photograph. Single-column photos of prominent local people have been used before, but this two-column span is a departure with great advertising potential. Of course, we are used to such things, but in 1922 it would have been a real attention grabber. — T. K.)
“Speaking of jazz, why hasn’t someone improved the inspiration to set ‘The Income Tax Blues’ to music?
“As Noah Heap puts it: Love may laugh at locksmiths, but a good watchdog gets respectful consideration.
“The egg producers are going to be sore if low prices continue to Easter time. Once in a great while the consumer plays in luck.
“Sunday proved to be another ideal day for lovers of the outdoors. With the continuance of the weather today, the first touch of spring fever was felt by indoor workers.
“To the slang glossary have been added ‘cellar-smeller,’ the young man who appears where liquor is to be had without cost–to him; ‘flat-wheeler,’ a young man whose idea of providing entertainment for a young woman is to take her for a walk; ‘Lens-louse,’ a person given to monopolizing conversation; ‘rug-hopper,’ a young man who never takes a girl out–often called ‘parlor-hound,’ or a ‘lounge lizard;’ ‘sub-chaser,’ a man who tries to pick up girls on the street; and ‘bell-polisher,’ meaning a young man who lingers in the hall around 1 a.m.
“Easter egg coloring is already being displayed. Speckled candy eggs to catch the eye of the kid with a penny also may be expected soon.
“Lake sailors around Manistee are marking time for the opening of navigation. The ordinary seaman is an odd job man in the winter–and odd jobs haven’t been plentiful recently, but if he has a roll he just sits back and waits for the first boats to clear.
“With the disappearance of snow, City Manager Shields had a crew of men out today, together with the streetsweeper, removing the winter’s accumulation of mud and dirt. As soon as the frost is out of the ground he will begin the regular spring clean-up of all streets and alleys.
Mar. 14, pg. 1
“EDITOR’S NOTE–Whether Manistee shall have league baseball will probably be determined at a mass meeting to be held in the council chamber of the city building at 7:30 this evening, at which (Central League) President E. W. Dickerson will outline the proposition ...
“It is hoped that a gathering thoroughly representative of the various interests of the city, and especially of the business men, will be in attendance. Only by concerted community effort can Manistee take advantage of this opportunity to regain its place on the baseball map. If you favor league baseball for your city, your first duty is to attend this meeting, even though you have to cancel some other engagement ... .
Pg. 3
“Since the appeal went out to children and others to refrain from cutting across corner lots, where the tender grass blades at this time of year are killed by the least injury, special care has been taken, but there are still a number, it is said, who persist in crossing lawns.
“One of the persons who has sought to prevent this practice makes the following suggestion to children:
“‘Don’t run over lawns, destroying flowers, shrubbery, bulbs and grass.
“‘Have a little spot of ground for flowers yourself, if not more than four feet long and two feet wide. Plant flowers and care for them, and you will see how it affects others to have them destroyed.’
“Several years ago pledge cards were distributed among the school children reading as follows: ‘For the honor and glory of Manistee I hereby promise that I will not destroy any tree, shrub or lawn, nor mar or deface any public building; that I will at all times respect the property of others; that I will try to make our city beautiful and worthy of our love and devotion.’
“This card was signed by many, and strangers visiting Manistee often remarked on the politeness of the children and the cleanliness of the city.
“The world applauds a winner, but it is only the loser who is never accused of cheating.
“Noah Little says: No matter how poor we may be in grammar ourselves, we all enjoy detecting mistakes on the part of the other fellow.

“Impetus which augurs well for realization was given the league baseball proposition for Manistee at a mass meeting last night which filled the council chamber to capacity, a gathering representative of diverse elements of Manistee’s citizenship, with working people predominating but including a fair proportion of business and professional men.
“That a good percentage of the city’s population wants league baseball and will support it to the best of its ability was evident, and if enthusiasm can be accepted as the gauge, Manistee’s entry into the Central league is assured ... .
“Spick and span in newness of appointments and fixtures, and with attractively arranged displays of merchandise, John Madison’s new store at 343-345 River St. ... will open its doors ... on Friday ...
“The first floor ... will be ready on that date for the anticipated invasion of shoppers, and promise is given that it will present a tempting array of new goods calculated to please the most capricious feminine fancy, including complete lines of dry goods, notions, boys’ and girls’ clothing, women’s ready-to-wear garments and a complete infants’ department.
“The finish and fixtures are certain to evoke admiration of visitors. The main floor is finished in English walnut and French ivory, and is a tribute not only to the taste of Mr. Madison, who designed the scheme, but to ... Messrs. Johnson & Kempf, well-known local contractors, and the decorators, The Nelson Paint & Wallpaper company ...
“The formal opening will be deferred until completion of the second floor, probably in three or four weeks. This section of the store will be in French grey, and will finely complement the handsome main floor.
“The new store is a fine token of the faith of Mr. Madison in Manistee’s business future, backed up by 31 years’ experience in merchandising in this city.
“‘I believe in Manistee,’ he said today. ‘This is my way of proving the sincerity of my statement ... .’
“Listen, you Baseball fans!
“You say you want league baseball in Manistee.
“Well, you can have it if you’ll pay the price. Now, are you sincere?
“Without waiting for the other fellow to give you baseball, will you do your bit? We’ll bet you will, if you’re a real fan instead of a knothole spectator at games.
“Last night at a mass meeting more than half a hundred working men pledged three days’ pay each to the baseball fund. If every employed workingman in Manistee will do this Manistee can raise the funds needed to secure a franchise in the Central league.
“It is up to you, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Fan, to have baseball or go without. Three days’ pay from every employed person in Manistee who enjoys the great national pastime will bring it to you, and make you all shareholders in a great community entertainment project.
“The three days’ pay will be spread out over three paydays to ease the burden for you ...
“And you, Mr. Business Man or Professional Man: Do you want baseball? If so, come across liberally, for it costs a lot of money. And only three days remain for us to put it over or lose out.
“Those who really want baseball in Manistee will not wait to be solicited for subscriptions–they’ll volunteer them. And for your convenience we are attaching herewith a coupon blank which you can fill out and return–at once, please–to The News-Advocate, putting you on record, and saving time and expense.

“Manistee is enjoying wireless concerts without bothering with special radio sets.
“By the installation of a sound carrying device known as a ‘Magnavox,’ Thorwald Andresen, Manistee’s enterprising phonograph salesman, has been able to give the public some pleasing concerts right at their home from his shop on Greenbush Street.
“The ‘Magnavox’ is an instrument that increases many times the strength of sound. It is attached to a phonograph ... Electricity is supplied by a storage battery connected to a microphone. Wires from this instrument carry the sound to an amplifier, which is placed on the street. The amplifier is fitted with a large horn which forces the sound over the city.
“Under favorable weather conditions ... sound passing through this instrument will carry 7 miles. Music from Manistee has been known to go as far as Bar Lake ...
“It is pointed out that the ‘Magnavox’ will fill a need in further popularizing the pavement dances next summer.
“Only a month and a half to the opening of trout season. And three months to the bass season opening.

“An amateur’s spring weather forecast: Probable nor’east to sou’west winds, varying to the southward and westward and eastward and points between; high and low barometer, sweeping round from place to place. Possible rain, snow or hail, with thunder and lightning, but we hope not ... .

“Encouraging progress was reported by members of the committee soliciting for the baseball fund, with factory workers especially rallying strongly in support of the movement to secure league baseball for Manistee ...
“It is quite generally conceded, however, even by the most optimistic fans, that the success of the venture now hinges almost wholly on the question of whether Sands park can be secured for a playing ground, as the expense of making either of the other contemplated suitable sites for play would be practically prohibitive, now that large individual subscriptions are not likely to be numerous ...
“Response to the invitation in yesterday’s News-Advocate for voluntary pledges ... was not up to expectations, though it is early yet ... but one mail having been distributed since the appeal ... .

“If you want baseball, you must do your share to secure it.
“Much money is needed. Many workmen of the city are voluntarily pledging three days’ wages, collectible in three paydays, to the fund.

“(Article) Last Large Shipment of Soldier Dead on ‘Cambrai’ Due Mar. 30.
“The last large shipment of remains of soldier dead, returned for burial under the Stars and Stripes, will be completed when the Army Transport Cambrai reaches New York about March 30, with 1224 flag-draped caskets, according to word received here ... Plans are already underway for appropriate services and ceremonies at the dock, to pay final tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice.
“After the Cambrai lands her precious freight, approximately only 325 bodies will remain abroad to be brought to the United States for burial. Up to March 1 the Graves Registration Service of the Quartermaster Corps had returned to this country the remains of 44,418 of those Americans who died on foreign soil ... Every effort has been made to accord the soldier dead the most reverent care, from the time of disinterment to the time the casket reaches its final resting place ...
“Concentration of bodies in American cemeteries abroad will be continued, as about 32,000 who died overseas are not to be returned for burial here, according to the desire of their next of kin. The policy of the government is to remove the soldier dead from battlefield burial grounds, and to reinter them in permanent cemeteries which will be cared for by the United States, as are national cemeteries in this country.

“(Editorial) MYSTERY HAUNTS US.
“Manistee is on the verge of a yearly recurring mystery. The first premonitory symptoms have come to attention out of the thin air. The manifestation will continue to its height and then as mysteriously go its way, only to recur again another season.
“We refer to the small boy and his marbles ... That mysterious something which moves upon the spirit of a boy and brings marbles to his pocket, weeks in advance of ‘the brighter iris on the burnished dove,’ and the inordinate ‘turning of the young man’s fancy,’ which come with the spring.
“Mystery, mystery. You earth-encumbered man find yourself treading by-paths, your heels heavy with the mud of mundane affairs when, lo, you come upon two boys ‘pinking’ for ‘mibs’ ... no one has officially proclaimed the marble season. You think these two boys by mere chance have turned to marbles, but even while you are so thinking you learn that all the schools in the city are being pestered by the sound of dropping and rolling marbles on the school room floor and you learn that a city-wide edict has gone out against marbles. Really, the small boys are as eerie a consideration as a fox-fire in a graveyard–yea, more so.
“What is the explanation of this mystery? Well, there is none. It is beyond the realm of science. It is akin with the instinct of the homing pigeon. It is a mystery that abides only with those who dwell in a borderland into which the adult cannot come, sings Riley:
“‘Beyond the hills, beyond the trees,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies a land long lost to me —
The rare, sweet land of Used-to-Be.’
Mar. 14, pg. 3
“(Excerpt from Good Evening column) There’s a tang of spring in the air. It’s a tonic to some. It’s a sedative to others. Some become listless when the wind’s in the south. Some then show all ‘the pep there is.’ To the growing throng of lovers of the outdoors the approach of spring is wine to their souls. They long to tramp the roads, to smell the odor of damp earth and to gaze upon the newly carpeted forest floor. No weaver could successfully imitate that design any more than an artist could truly portray the colors of the Grand Canyon.
“And as for the motorist, the week-end camper, the ‘shack-on-the-lake’ fellow, and the angler–why, the breath of the south wind, the sight of rafts of ducks, wedges of geese and the undulating flight of bluebirds–they touch him ‘right where he lives.’ No painting on the wall of any art gallery in the world can equal what Old Mother Nature, the supreme artist, has done for you in the Manistee valley and along the lake shore within a few minutes’ distance of the city. It is going to be a great spring and summer, brothers of the open. Go to it, and make the most of it. For, trite but true, we pass this way but once.”
