“Smiling Faces” It was quite a pleasant sight to watch the smiling face of the citizens last Wednesday morning when the banks were thrown open for business. It showed the casual observer, that confidence was fast returning to the American people. No one can dispute the fact that President Roosevelt has done more since the fourth of March, to restore confidence to the American people than has been done by any president since Tom Payne wrote the “Crisis.” Confidence in our president brings - confidence in our banks and confidence that the depression will soon be a thing of memory or a horrible dream that has passed. When confidence returns to the American people, the wheels of industry will begin to whirl, the birds will sing more sweetly, the sky will be more blue and faces will wear smiles instead of frown. Many who are now living on skimmed milk will have some cream and instead of a continued diet of jowl bacon, can enjoy a nice, juicy steak at least once a week. When this time comes, if you are in the habit of asking God to bless the food upon your table, do not forget to put in a word for the man who was the first to give “Old Man Depression” a swift kick in the pants and started the ball rolling, that ran the golden calf out of hiding, and brought back confidence to the American people—Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Chicago Herald and Examiner

One of the immense invisible bullish factors in the economic situation is the capacity of the new President to get co-operation from Congress. . It is difficult to exaggerate the importance ot this new Ex-President Hoover’s inability to lead Congress along consistent, well-thoughtkmt lines in the last year added enormously to the influences making for a deterioration ot

American economic life.

On the other hand. President Roosevelts remarkable skill in making up his mind quickly on crucial problems, and his ability to persuade his countrymen to follow under his banner, are unseen assets which will go far toward turning

the scales toward a new and more stable prosperity.

Washington, not Wall Street, is now wielding the baton

which sets the pace for American business.

State’s Model Bank Law

While financial reforms are uppermost with every individual at this particular time it is a source of pride to the people of Indiana to learn that their state administration has taken the most forward /step of any state in the nation toward reaching a permanent solution of the banking probEnactment of the law/that sets up a new state bank code was one of the outstanding achievements of the recent session of the state legislature. From all quarters the law was termed the most modern of its kind ever adopted ana the state administration received praise for the support it gave this worthy movement. , . u The importance of the new Indiana banking law can be iudged from the fact thht it was the first systematized code to be considered by the new federal administration m considering ways and means for meeting the emergencies that arose as it assumed /leadership. It is quite hkely that the new Federal plan for control of the financial situation m the country may be modeled after or incorporate parts ot the Indiana program. , , , , . , , So favorable is tde comment that has been received by the new state bank law that the Governor of Kansas has requested that copies of; the Indiana law be sent to him. He intimates that the, safhe law may be adopted for the state of Kansas. Executives of other state and leading bankers are also requesting copies of the law to give it their study. This new banking' law is one of the products of a lative session market} for its progressive ideas and its smoothness of operation under sensible leadership, there never was a session of its kind in Indiana. The courage shown by the leaders brought f/orth courageous policies that will endure and meetfthe hea^y demands of a period never

before known in the mstary ctf/the state.

MAYOR’S CORNER

All the states in the Union now impose a gasoline tax whieh ranges from two cents to seven cents a gallon.

In normal times American apples are shipped to eighty foreign

countries.

Insurance men claim that on an average in the United States there is a fire every minute. In New York the daily si roll need not get monotonous, because there are 4,700 miles of streets within the city limits. About one-half of Die world’s coal reserves are located in the United States.

EDITORIAL NOTE. Owing to the expressed wishes of citizens of Muncie, regarding news of the condition of Mayor Dale, we wish to state that the mayor is still confined in a Marion hospital. However, he is on the road to recovery, is gaining strength every day. It is hoped that he will be able to come home in a week or ten days. In spite of his serious illness he has always kept in close touch with affairs in Muncie.

Sixty years ago there were no rabbits in Australia. Then rabbits were imported from England. Forty years later Australia was flooded with rabbits; 25,000,000 frozen rabbits and 96,000,000 rabbit skins were exported to Europe

from Australia.

The story that Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked u .^utern over and started t..o great Chicago fire in 1871 was denied in a death-bed confession of Michael Ahern, a Chicago newspaper man, who claimed to have invented the famous explanation. The fire was probably caused by spontaneous combustion in the O'Leary hay-

mow.

Every health department finds an occasional family that insists on getting out of quarantine too soon. am glad to say that is an exception rather than the rule. It does eem to be very much of a hardship to have children kept out of school and even from playing out doors for several days after everybody appears to be entirely well. But rules are rules, you know and in the case of quarantine, at least, they are made and enforced for tlxe very best interests of ev

erybody concerned.

It was only after a great deal of experience and study of the var ious diseases and their complications, that the present quarantine regulations were adopted.

For Benefit of Patient.

If we had more definite proofs, like the throat and nose cultures, whieh can easily be determined when diptheria germs are present or gone, as the case may be, it would be a great deal easier, but with scarlet fever, measles, smallpox, etc., we still have to depend a minimum of time after all symptoms have disappeared Families in quarantine may get

This week it doesn’t matter who is Mayor of Muncie, when the banks will open, or what Congress is going to do with the beer bill, but who will win the Indiana state high school basketball championship for 1933. Today and tomorrow sixteen survivors of the regional tourneys held last week end are swinging into action at the Butler field house, Indianapolis, with one goal to make, one aim in view, one objective in their hearts, one crown to win—the championship. Pete Jolly’s Bearcats, the pride of Muncie’s basketball fans, are among the hopefuls and it may well be said that they will either bring back a third shield labeled “The Champions” within the past five years

or strive their utmost to do so.

It may be unnecessary but nevertheless pleasant n|emories to recall that last second “looped” thrown by Charlie Secrist in 1928 to nudge Martinsville out of victory and spread laurels for Muncie or the clean swe^p championship by the Bearcats in 1931 by easily defeating Greencastle in the final contest. Many new teams will be seen for their first time at a state tournament this year and surprises may occur but from the Mayor’s Corner throughout Muncie there is a unity of minds reserved this week end for the Bearcats. Mayor Dale who is still convalescing in the Marion hospital from an eye ailment will not be able to witness the affray but will have both ears awaiting radio broadcasts and extends sincere wishes to Messrs. Shuck, Kleinfelder & Co., for the best of success. The self-named fourth mayor or writer of this column has managed to save enough to buy one of the too high-priced tickets for this event and is holding all the breaths that he can spare in whatever aid it might be to get the ball through the hoop for Muncie. Many indications may be read in the newspapers trom snort writers or heard from numerous street gossipeis, the sun may shine, the snow may fall President Roosevelt may announce more new policies for the aid and betterment of otir nation, the several pin-headed but U « av f ll /"S^ f to the mayor’s office may all jump m the lake, but here s hoping that the hardwood gladiators from Central High Schoof will attain another championship for Muncie in 1933.

ECHO FROM THE PAST.

“Brother, can I cash a check?” asked the man whose money had been tied up in the hank for more than a month, as he politely took off his hat and timidly approached the cashier’s desk. “Sorry, sir,” re plied the cashier, “but, you see, we have your money tied up in Insul stock and as Mr. Insul is now Europe, it is impossible to pay you until Ixe returns. However, we can pay you 5 per cent of your de posit,” “All right,” answered the man, please let me have it.” “Let’s see,” said the cashier, “our hooks show that you have a balance $1.06. So write a check for 5 cents. After following instructions, the man presented the check, where upon he was told by the cashier This makes it even. You see. the cheek is for five cents and we have to charge you five cents for cash ing it.” “Thanks,” replied the man as he proceeded on his way, selling

Quarantine

By JOHN H. WILLIAMS, M. D. (City Health Commissioner)

as the people outside, who might contract the disease. A Great Temptation. Complications of children’s diseases are far too common, and are sometimes more serious than the original disease. Early release of quarantine is often a great temptation. Sometimes the patient is allowed up too soon. He contracts a cold, or exercises too strenuously, and then the real trouble begins. If the after-effects—sequelae— to use the technical term—were as easy to see as those which, sometimes follow infantile paralysis, there would be much better care taken of the more common dis-

eases.

Blessing in Disguise. Pneumonia often follows measles and whooping cough. Ear troubles, heart diseases and eye infections are sometimes the result of too much rush to get well after scarlet fever and diphtheria. This is a matter in which we often find that “more haste means less speed.” Thank the health department for the quarantine sign that serves as an excuse for a real rest, at an opportune time. It may prove a bless-

some comfort by remembering that ing in disguise. Take it easy! Dis-

Two important labor measures were not enacted—the train limit Thank goodness, if we decide to (70 cars) bill and amendments to the compensation law Two of the most important laws adopted were the anti-injunction and “yellow dog” measure, and the Old-age pension bill 'Laws enacted of special interest to railroad workers include one for a tax of $1 per hundredweight on truck cargoes, and one to regulate the hours of bus and truck drivers. Contract truck drivers are also placed under the Public Service Commission.

COMMISSIONER (Continued prom Page One) should be put in a container so the collectors could just dump them into tlxe trucks. Budget Cut Down. The street department’s budget was cut down $9,500 less than the department had last year, so the department will have to discontinue the hauling of tree trimmings, grapevine trimmings and remodeling refuse. The department is compelled to confine its cleaning activities to the hauling of cans and ashes from the alleys and the citizens who persist in piling trimmings on the ash pile, the ashes and cans will not be removed by the department. Tree trimmings can be burnt with little effort if chopped fine and burnt in a container. Oil Barrels Free. Daniel says he has quite a few empty oil barrels at the city barn (hat could be used to burn trash, which he will give to any citizen who calls for one, as they are non-

returnable.

Another thing Commissioner Daniel wishes to impress upon the minds of the citizens is, that the

cans, glass and otiier foreign malter, if they wish to have their garbage taken away by the city. The garbage is fed to hogs and quite a few hogs have been killed by eating glass that was thrown in with the garbage. This practice must stop, or the garbage collectors will be instructed to quit picking up garbage that contains anything else in the can. Cost Is Small. It is up to the citizens whether the city continues to pick up. their garbage, or whether they will have some private individual take it away for them. 'It only costs the average taxpaying citizen about 35 cents a year to have his garbage hauled by the city, but would cost him at least 50 cents a week to have it hauled by an individual. Take your

choice.
