Detroit Saturday Night reports fevered fears of hair cutting as a threat to piety with references to Aimee and Satan. The piece warns that barbering, the “bobbing of your hair,” corrupts sacred crowns and tempts believers to stray from righteousness. Clerical alarm and sensational tone pervade the note.
The piece mocks Michigan legislators for chasing a radio control bill as a reaction to broadcast interference, argues federal action is needed, notes limited relief from the federal board, and laments state regulation as a farce while praising hopes for congestion relief.
A brief note in the In Retrospect column highlights a handful of Michigan legislators and their recent activities. The item condenses minor developments among lawmakers, signaling shifts or actions without detailing the full context. It preserves names or affiliations as readable from the source, focusing on fleeting political updates.
A Detroit Times reporter received permission from Governor Green to interview convicts at the Marquette branch prison, sparking fierce local reaction. The warden’s rule required an official present, yet the governor’s action has fueled suspicions it aimed to discredit Warden Corgan and force his removal, prompting renewed debate on official oversight in Michigan corrections.
The piece discusses concerns over gubernatorial appointments amid questions of a few candidates’ qualifications and possible political maneuvering. It contrasts this with Detroit Saturday Night’s report on French fuel experiments showing gasogene vehicles using wood or peat, achieving notable speeds and range, suggesting horseless age viability despite oil depletion.
A satirical column mocks a new “poultry czar” in New York led by H C Forbes. It imagines autocratic decrees across industries, from poultry to jazz to hog production, predicting strict rules on broiler work and diet while speculating on the influence of czars in various trades.
The piece argues against linking the whiskey rebellion to prohibition history. It notes Washington drank wine and liquor, and asserts the rebellion arose from excise tax resistance by Pennsylvania backwoodsmen and fear of strong central power. The main point: its significance lies in proving the new government could enforce laws and maintain order.
The article discusses concerns over how long the nation's gasoline supply will last and what could happen when petroleum resources are exhausted. It notes circulating reports of rapid drainage and cites experts who warn that internal combustion engines may be affected within decades.
The Times notes opening week fishing mixed as traffic spikes on popular streams. Anglers cite high water and cold weather for sparse catches, while some report sizable hauls earlier in April. The piece muses that closed streams may offer better future fishing if left undisturbed, suggesting a path to long term trout preservation in the district.
The senate committee on prisons reports to the legislature this week defending Governor Groesbeck’s parole policy and criticizing changes under Governor Green. It argues the Groesbeck plan relied on prison facilities and warns prisoners would be herded in yards without release. Continued on page 8.
