Years ago a weary legislature, hope- j
lessly deadlocked by contending fac- j
tions, accepted the motion of a Jok-1
lng member and iocated the site of j
the proposed capital of Michigan at j
Lansing—then a little dry spot amid i
a stretch of marches on the Grand j
River. The Jest became an earnest |
when the governor signed the bill and j
thereby placed the seat of govern- |
nient where no one really wanted it. j,
While the people of Michigan'
laughed over the choice of the legjs- j
lature, local optimists went to work.
They had faith as defined by St.
Paul: "The substance of things hoped
for; the evidii of things not seen."
Lansing had n>, a single natural ad
vantage, and many disadvantages.
Corduroy roads were the one means 1
of reaching the "city," and sometimes- 1

I they vanished in the mud overnight.
Yet a city was here planned that
would hold a million! Fine wide bou-
I levards and splendid avenues reach
out in all directions. On this deso
late, forsaken spot Lansing is gain
ing 100 per cent, at each census. The
j same high vision that saw a city here,
! saw the future of gasoline long be
| fore other places even knew the odor
jof it. Gasoline motors, engines and
parts of all kinds are built at, and are
building Lansing.
The average daily payroll at Michl
jgan's capital is 521,000. The average
| wage for employes is $2.55. One large
| auto company pays 60 per cent, on its
j common stock, mostly held locally,
j These are the factors that explain

.remain.
One of these days some one in
i I .arising will hit upon the
thought of setting up a to
that joking legislator who broke the
deadlock.

GERMANS SEND
100 SHELLS EACH
DAY INTO TOWN
:W0 of 5,000 Population of Loss- 1

Butchered
Loos-en-Gohelle. de Calais.
France. Dec. IV.— correspondence of
The Associated Press). —Three hun
dred only of the 6,000 inhabitants of
Loos-en-Gohelle were still in the
town when the Germans took It in
October last year. A hundred of
them escaped through the French
lines, the rest lived Just ten days
short of a year under foreign domi
nation and under the direct adminis
tration of the Abbe Campagne, the j
parish priest, made mayor in spite of
himself by the German Kommanda
tur.
During all that time the town re
ceived an average of 100 shells a
day.
Loos-en-Gohelle, which should not
be confounded with Loos in the de
partment du Nord near Lille, was on
the line of the great race between the
Germans and the allies toward the
road to Calais and the sea last. year.
The Uhlans came October 4. followed
by four regiments of the Prussian
Guard. A battalion of French In
fantry sent against them four days
later was obliged to retire before su
perior numbers, after a violent light.
The Germans then began to fortify
the position and occupied it in force.
The Abbe Compagne, who with 200
of his parishioners was liberated by
the British troops in the recent bat
tle of Loos, affirms that "the first
measure of the Germans was to shoot
seven civilians, among whom were
two men 80 years old and one 70; the
others were from 32 to 40. Four of
the men were farmers; the reason for
their execution was never made clear;
what they did was simply this; they
went out to feed their cows one night
and while doing so were caught by
the German sentinels ana held as
prisoners until shot. These four were
buried in the Rue Huilluch in graves
dug by a miner that the Germans had
left all night tied to a tree before
forcing him to do the work. The
two other victims were burled In a
ditch in holes dug by the same
miner.
Held liesDonsible
"The majority or the population
remaining in Loos at the time were
women, children, a few old men and
six or seven valid men. besides a
dozen or so of invalids. The men who
were strong enough to work were em
ployed by the Germans In dismount
ing all the machinery of the mines,
taking off the copper and loading it
upon cars. The moment of their ar
rival in Loos the Germans called upon
me and demanded at the point of a
revolver where the mayor and his as
sistants were. When I told them
that all the authorities of the town
had left, they said:
"You shall be the sole authority
here; you shall be mayor.
"I replied that my religious func
tions In the eyes of French law were
j Incompatible with municipal respon
sibility. They declared that it did
not matter and that they should hold
me responsible for all that might
happen in the village: tor any dis
covery of concealed arms, for any
telephone that might have been hid
den, for any luminous signals, etc. I
had no choice but to accept the dan
gerous and I have done what I
could for my compatriots during the
period of occupation, with two Ger
man soldiers at my door with fixed
bayonets all the time acting as sent
inels. I was unable to go out more
than three times a week, Sundays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays, to visit the
population, accompanied by a Ger
man Interpreter.
Levied Contributions
"A short time after the Germans
arrived they notified me that a con
tribution of war of 7,vro francs had
been levied upon the town of Loos.
Since the population remaining In the
town was mostly of the poorer class,
I had no idea where I could raise such
a sum. We finally decided to make it
up from portions of the relief allow
ance made by the director of the
mines of Lens to the women of
mobilized miners. We finished pay
ing the 7,000 francs August 14, 1915.
"During the long montns that we
lived under German domination our
life was most difficult; provisions be
came rarer and rarer, untti at the be
ginning of May we were on the point
of dying of hunger. Each person
had to live six days on the half of a
loaf of bread weighing 3 pounds. The
situation was desperate. I succeeded
in collecting quietly a few bushels of
wheat that remained in the neighbor
ing granaries, and my parishioners
ground It In their coffee mills. We
lived on this until the American Re
lief Commission finally came to our
aid. Later, I was called to Lens,
•vlth the mayors of the different
towns of the region who had ar
ranged to supply us with 190 grams
of flour, sufficient to make 250 grams
of bread, per day, per head.
"Our difficulties, however, were
not at an end; as soon as it became .
known that we had flour with which !
to make good bread, we were obliged <
to defend our improvised bakery In 4
the farm house of, Mademoiselle Petit 4
against the German soldiers. We j
finally secured from the Kommanda- 1
tur a sign: 'Civil bakery; entrance ]
prohibited to soldiers.' 4
"During the bombardments the 4
worst hours were from 10 o'clock in *
the morning until noon and from 4 <
o'clock in the afternoon until sunset. !
After the intensive bombardment of 4
May Bth, we were obliged to remove 4
the bakery to a cellar, where we lived 4
practically underground rrom that j
time until began such a cannonading 1
as we, who had been within the J
sound of bursting shells a year, had 4
not conceived possible. The sound of 4
that cannonading, however, was 4
agreeable to our ears because it was j
not difficult for us to infer from it i
that the French or liritlsn were fore- 4
lng the attack and that our delivery 4
was no doubt near." 4
WHY A WOMAN CAN
OUTTALK A MAN 4
"A woman can talk longer than a 4
man, and does so because she uses 4
less force by a large percentage than i
a man does," says the January Popular 1
Science Monthly.' "A German profes- 4
sor has proved by actual and very 4
delicate measurements that the bari- i
tone singer uses far more energy than 3
either. The range of voice "differs 2
greatly, so the percentage varies to the 4
same extent, but as a general result It 4
was proved that a tenor uses only from 1
one-seventh to one-sixteenth of the 1
lung power of the baritone or bass. 2
The difference In the force used by 4
the contralto and soprano Is very 4
marked, and the contralto who sings J
In very deep tones uses at least ten 1
times the force of the trilling soprano. 4
"The explanation is so simple that 4
it is surprising that it was not thought 4
of long ago. It has long been known • j
that the tenor or soprano brings the 1
vocal chords together and keeps the Z
edges vibrating only by the emission of 4
air. The bass or contralto leaves the 4
space between the chords wider open, j
and has to vibrate much more of the 1
membranes to u considerably larger J
[amount of air required." 4
