HELP ASKED IN FINDING MUNCIE LINCOLN RELICS
Historical Research Foundation of Ft. Wayne, Wants Them. POST-DEMOCRAT ASKED TO HELP Bronze Statue of Emancipator to be Dedicated This Summer.
What have you in the way of Abraham Lincoln relics in your
home?
Dr. Louis A. Warren, director of Lincoln Historical Research
Here, There Everywhere
the
Foundation, Fort Wayne, Indiana, asks the Post-Democrat to help in locating any really genuine Lincoln curios in this section. In the foundation’s museum and library and in many other historical institutions all over the country, he states, there are innumerable priceless mementos of the Great Emancipator, yet he feels that treasured away in many a home or oijfice there must be manuscripts, newspaper and magazine articles, books and pamphlets, pictures, medals and other Lincoln items that are every bit as valuable. He seeks the aid of this newspaper and its readers in bringing these to light. To Dedicate Statue Sometime next summer at Fort Wayne, according to Dr. Warren, ihe foundation will dedicate a massive bronze statue of the “Youthful Lincoln,” done by the famous sculptor Paul Manship. In connection with this dedication there will be held a two-day “open house in the foundation’s museum and library. For this “open house” Dr. Warren is planning a special exhibit of Lincoln relics collected from individual owners and not heretofore shown in public. Each of the displays will give full credit to the owner, and perhaps the more important ones will later be purchased by the foundation. Dr. Warren promises that all ittems submitted for the special exhibit will be returned. . A Large Collection Muncieties who feel that they have something of unusual interest should communicate immediately with Dr Louis A. Warren, Lincoln Historical Research Foundation, Fort Wayne, Indiana, or Mr. O. F. Gilliom, Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, Berne, Indiana, giving ufll details concerning the articles in their possession. Dr. Warren will then decide whether an article is worthy of special exhibition and make arrangements for sending it to Fort Wayne. In the four years since its establishment, the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation has become the center of Lincoln information in America. Under Dr. Warren’s direction there has been assembled the largest private collection of literature ever gathered about one man, Biblical characters excepted. o Humanity Saved Honor of a Girl Lincoln Sends Young Girl to Get Sweetheart Who Was Serving With the Union Army.

Mancie who are anxioue to “frame” the mayor and send him to the pen. The other evening we heard one of this tribe telling a small group of listeners, just what was going to happen to the mayor when they got through with him, and when he had iinished there was no applause, everything being quiet, in fact not a man stirred, not a cow
stirred, not a goose stirred.
A new example of Abraham Lincolnt humanity and sympathy for people in trouble was discovered today in the archives of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation. It was contaained in a letter to ihe martyred president from a young Philadelphia Avoman dated April 5, 1864, in which she poured out her heart to Lincoln and told him the story of her troubles. She had been engaged to a young man. who is 1863 enlisted for three years in the army. After a few months sevice he was sent to a hospital sick. After his recovery he, with some other soldiers, was
A student, residing ni Canada, writes us the following inquiry: “Was Herbert Hoover the engineer who designed and constructed Pikes Peak?" No, son, Pikes Pefik was in exietence long before Herbert Hoover learned to piay j marbles and will he there after he has lost his marblee. We might add also, although it is not, a part of your question, that he has been credited, by his party, with having designed and constructed the Blue Ridge, Rocky and Alp mountains, as well as several minor projects, such as digging the Pacific ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, erecting Mount Depression and paving the way for Mount “Noble Experiment,” beeides other similar work too numerous to mention, but to the best of our knowledge he has never been rated as an engineer, except during the campaign in 1928, when the southern states, believing they would all be drowned if A1 Smith was elected, they conferred on him the title of engineer and felt greatly relieved when they had done so, believing that, as an engineer, he would find some way of protecting them against flood, in case, from any Cause, Al Smith should accidentally break his hip pocket flash.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
TV/T ANY wives and mothers do not realize to what a great extent they have lY-L R in their power to control the health and, therefore, the success, happiness and longevity of their husbands and children. Good health is the principal source erf physical energy, and the mind and body are so inter-

that our mental energy, also, depends greatly upon the state of our health. People who are full of vitality are usually cheerful and happy. Happiness, in turn, is an aid to health. Moreover, since good health increases our physical and mental energies, one of the best ways of preparing ourselves for success is to keep our bodies fit at
all times.
Many men, women and children I are lacking in cheerfulness or are l sluggish, languid, irritable, or de- ! pressed, simply because they are ill, I or, at least, are not in good physical condition. Restore them to perfect health, their spirits rise and they display more energy and interest in their work and in life in general. The husband’s energy and fitness for efficient work, the children’s ability to attend school regularly and do well in their studies are at stake. Many a child, considered dull in school and at home, has really been (physically) incapacitated by malnutrition or by some undiscovered
physical impairment.
Health is affected, favorably or unfavorably, by our habits of living, according as they are good or bad. In great part, these habits of living are habits of preference for certain kinds of food, for certain methods of cooking, for proper or improper ventilation, suitable or unsuitable clothing, as well as hygienic or unhygienic
With an elementary knowledge of hygiene, wives and mothers can regulate the home life along lines that will help greatly to establish right habits of living and thus improve the health of the family and prevent accidents and much illness. They should know something about foods and their values and the advantages of sunlight, fresh air, ventilation, proper clothing, cleanliness, exercise, sleep and rest. Prevention of disease depends largely on properly applied knowledge
of these factors.
If by attention to the simple rules of right living she can train her charges, husband and children, to keep up to the mark physically, the wife, or mother, will find for herself, rest, peace of mind and happiness that will amply compensate her for the effort she has made.
QUESTIONS: All wives and mothers should be able to answer these questions: I. Why is a healthy family usually a cheerful one? 2. How can a wife or mother help to keep her husband and children in good health? 3. What are some of the principal habits of living that affect health?

Better Program Needed for Industrial Vocational Training.
Hoav many boys and girls get into trouble of one kind or another because they never learned how to do anything. A few months ago papers carried ihe statement that Irene Schroeder was to die in I lie electric chair and that when asked by the prison attache for her occupation explained, “Nothing. One of my troubles lias been that I never knew how to do
anything.”
“Not all of the people who get into trouble do so because of not having learned a job, hut it is often a contributing cause,” says Geo. K. Wells, state supervisor of industrial
education.
Not Yet Started
In President Hoover’s survey of unemployment made in Indiana in 1930, the largest group of unemployed was from 20 to 24 years of age. In every city studied these same facts were secured. When we ask ourselves why Ibis group was the largest, several answers lmight he made. It is fairly easy to believe that, this group was the largest because they had not yet
learned to do any one thing.
