This is the streamline age. We have streamline trains, streamline automobiles, streamline house and streamline clothes. This year the Indiana Democratic organization will introduce the streamline campaign. It will be a short, to-the-point campaign of five or six weeks. Officially opening about the middle of September, the campaign will come to a close in the week before the election. In the days before radio and the fast automobile, campaigns were started in July or August and dragged wearily on for weeks. Time was needed to reach all the voters with the issues. It is different now. A candidate can speak in four different towns in one day by using an automobile. He can get on the radio and address thousands upon thousands of voters. Fast means of communication keep the people informed about government. They don’t need to attend political meetings to get the facts. All this is a big change— a welcome change—over the old days. The voters, as well as political workers, like the change—In almost every campaign the people have all they want of it long before it is over.

The “famous” article by Alvan Johnston in The Saturday Evening Post on the insurance business and income of the President’s son, James Roosevelt, turned out to be largely conjecture, mud-slinging exaggeration and bad reporting. You remember how the Tory press spread the story that Jimmy Roosevelt earned from $250,000 to $2,000,000 a year in insurance commissioners; how he obtained insurance from companies which needed government favors to live, such as air lines, radio broadcasters and liquor importers. The whole intent and purpose of the article was to blast and smear the President of the United States—to “get” the father through the son. Jimmy’s income turns out to have varied from $14,000 to $49,000 a year during the period he was supposed to be making millions. Colliers has printed photographs of young Roosevelt’s income tax returns as positive proof. Johnston admitted to a New York newspaper that he wrote his article without talking to Jimmy Roosevelt or the Roosevelt insurance firm. He made no effort to see the person he was writing about. If a reporter for any decent newspaper wrote such a story about a man without seeing that man and at least attempting to check the fact, he would go out on his bottom so fast the sidewalk would smoke. But the high-priced editors of The' Saturday Evening Post, so filled are they with hate of President Roosevelt, let the article go.

commissioners refused to spend the taxpayers’ money for this purpose, declaring that every farmer in tlve county had as much right to have roads leading to his farm oiled, and this was impossible. Because the Democrats were in majority on the board. The Republicans accused them of refusing to oil the roads because of politics. The commissioners were certainly right in not granting this special privilege to Capehart. Why should the roads to his farm be oiled just because he is holding a big political meeting? o

We think it is about time that Repblicans gave up their touching faith that they will yet find a G. O. P. Santa Claus in the Democratic primaries. The boys in the plush chairs of the better Republican clubs ought to stop kidding themselves. Without a program to offer to the people, without a slogan except a long-drawn-out “Ya-a-a-a-a-ah,” at Roosevelt, they have sunk so deep into ineptitude, disgruntlement and bankruptcy that they have given up trying to bring their own party back. They are concentrating their bedtime prayers on the hope that maybe a few conservative Democrats can be elected. Whenever an anti-Roose-velt Democratic constable is nominated in Sioux Cetner, their faces light up with a hope beautiful to behold. But it is on illusory hope. The returns from the Ohio, Idaho and Arkansas primaries offer no evidence of even a tiny anti-Roose-velt swing. In Idaho, New Dealer Pope was defeated by a so-called conservative who is a Townsendite (That ought to be a great comfort to Republicans). Many Republicans voted in the Democratic primary to “get” Pope. A survey reveals that the New Deal has scored 13 victories against six losses to date. That’s the record. In three of the so-called “Old Deal Victories”, the conservative winners were incumbents running for renomination against newcomers. In other words, these “Old Deal Victories” gave the Old Deal no new seats in Congress

ANIMAL RENTING BUSINESS PAYS NEW YORK YOUTH, 17, $200 WEEKLY BUT HE DOESN’T OWN DOG OR CAT

Cleveland.—The Case School of Applied Science here is doing a lot of blowing—real blowing with strong winds—these days in an effort to solve the mystery of “skin resistance in airplanes and streamlining of automobiles.” Some day, the school’s experts hope, their blowing will result in saving of tremendous amounts of fuel for consumers. It’s a scientific wind blowing for a scientific pur-

pose.

Dr. John R. Weske, assistant professor of aerodynamics at the school, who operates the wind tunnel—with a $5,000 apparatus which produces wind occurring at speeds as great as 100 miles an hour—explained the goals: “We are interested in skin resistance as it enables us to mainspeed with less horsepower. “We are interested in streamlining of automobiles in so far as it concerns fuel economy at high speeds and stability on the road.” The “skin resistance” of airplanes is explained as the “friction of the air as it passes over a plane’s surface.” Dr. Weske said the actual shapes of planes—streamlining—is so near perfect now that he is concentrating only on “the effects of smoother surfaces.” Streamlining of automobiles, Dr. Weske said, remains a major prob-

lem.

“We must get the correct body shape so that the car can accommodate passengers, but, in addition, we must achieve streamlining,” he said. Air Resistance Great The lack of proper streamlining automobiles, Dr. Weske said, creates “greater resistance” at speeds exceeding 70 miles an hour. The proper shape must be found to avoid wind annoyance to the driver, thus achieving “stability on the road.” Dr. Weske’s assistants are several Case seniors and graduate students, specializing in aeronautics. They place model automobiles and airplanes in the intricate wind tunnel and then use three types of scales—hydrostatic, ordinary balance, and spring scales—to weigh the force of the wind. Model streamlined automobiles are placed on a belt, moving at the same speed the ground would “move.” Model airplanes are suspended by wires in the tunnel. The

New York—Stanley S. Woolley, Jr., a young man of 17 who finds business very good indeed, locked the doors of his mid-town offices one day recently and went up to Central Park to find a rabbit. It was not an ordinary rabbit Woolley sought, but one of considerable value. It was black 1 and white and it would sit up and beg. Furthermore, it displayed no temperament whatsoever when it faced a camera and w r ould come when

called.

The rabbit wandered off in the park one afternoon. Woolley’s concern for the missing bunny was strictly a business proposition, for it was just one of the hundreds of animals which provided him with a comfortable living. Woolley deals in animals and will rent anyone a bearded vulture or a Salukis for as long as desired. He procures animals for people who wmnt to play practical jokes, for advertising agencies, and for commercial motion pictures. Sometimes his animals are used in displays to lend atmosphere. He boasts that he can get any animal you can name within 24 hours although he keeps none in New

York.

Started Through Accident “I like animals,” he says, “but that’s not the reason why I’m in

the business. I got into this work quite by accident a year and a half ago when I was given a lion cub. Someone came to me with an offer to rent the lion for advertising purposes. I figured out that if there was a market for a rentable lion there must be for other animals.” So as a youth of 15 he went about New York, lining up those owners of strange, exotic or common pets who were willing to have them pay a cash return. Woolley’s catalog today lists more than 200 animals, birds, and reptiles. And he’ll try to find those that are not

on his list.

For example, his catalog lists 89

different breeds of dogs, 63 differ-

ent wild animals ranging

The dirt will begin to fly on Indiana’s new Board of Health building at the Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis, near the first of October, Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Director, said. The building, a part of the PWAIndiana Recovery Program projects okehed by the special session of the Legislature, will house the offices and laboratories of the Board of Health. The building will be located on the Medical Center campus near the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, and will be 155 feet by 55 feet of reinforced concrete. Dr. Harvey told the Legislature that there was an imperative need for the building, because of the expanded health program of the state and the need for laboratory space. The Board of Health is working on a survey o^ occupational disease in Indiana, so that it may be able to determine how to proceed in its occupational disease program. Engineers of the Board have been studying various industries in the state, and expect soon to have the occupational disease classified according to industries.

TOWNSEND ACCOMPLISHMENT

Taxpayers of Kosciusko County, which embraces Warsaw, can testify as to the benefits of the gross income tax in lifting the unfair burden of taxation which has been borne by real estate. In four of the 17 townships, no tuition fund levy was necessary in 1937. The townships were Etna. Jackson, Jefferson and Monroe. The tuition levy in the 17 townships and City of Warsaw in 1932 added up to a grand total of $8.51. In 1937 the same items totaled $2.95. That is evidence of how the Democratic administration of Governor McNutt kept its promise to spread the tax base and equalize taxes.

Capehart’s “Cornfield Conference” at Washington, Ind., participated a bitter feud between Democrats and Republicans in Daviess county, with the Democrat and Republican papers leading the debate. When the music box maker decided to throw the big party for Republicans on his farm near Washington, he sent his lieutenants before the county commissioners and asked that two roads leading to his farm be oiled at pounty expense. The

When Gov. M. Clifford Townsend asked the legislature two years ago to establish a labor department, his critics raised their voices in declaring that it was just another way to provide jobs for labor leaders. But the Governor had a much different idea. He said that the entire state is interested in labor peace. That the storekeeper, the landlord, the workers in every hamlet and village were affected when strife came and labor stopped. He said that the time to stop strikes was before they began and before bitterness and anger made settlement difficult and perhaps impossible. He said that it was the duty of the state to preserve peace, not to destroy it. At once it was called the “Indiana Plan.” Other states have adopted it or endeavored to' follow it, and have profitted. The Governor discovered, and so has every other citizen in the state, that the plan works. Through his mediators, threats of strikes have been abandoned for peaceful settlement of problems. The record is one of success, not by coercive methods, but by argument. In Indianapolis, a new branch of the International Harvester company was established. The com pany’s directors found that the Governor meant exactly what he said, that the state would aid business and protect labor in their rights, and that no part of the state would suffer. Now comes a most important announcement. The Youngstown Steel and Tube company, one of the major parties of Little Steel, comes to Indiana to spend many millions in enlarging its plants. Could Governor Townsend ask for a better tribute to the victory his plans or a finer anxi tucre sincere complimeut to his policies?

reptiles on his list, and 50 species of birds, from Paradise Wydahs to sea eagles. Or you can get a common animal, boxing kangaroos or even a talking dog. Dog on Radio “Now, take this talking dog”, Woolley says. “He really talks. He says T want to go out,’ and ‘howdy’ and words like that. I had him on the radio the other night.” Another of Woolley’s favorites is a mixture of pomeranian dog and monkey. He avers that this dog has tree climbing tendencies and is much in demand. Woolley recalls among his strangest assignments a telegraphed request from the Middle West for a skunk. This was to be delivered to a man in New York. “I got the skunk all right and it was delivered,” he explains. “Of course, it was a harmless skunk.” Woolley’s animals rent for $5 to $15 an hour. While business falls off during the early summer, it is brisk during the other seasons of the year. During a good week, Woolley’s profits may be

$200.

“I have had as many as 36 animals working at one time,” he

says.

Experience With Lion Cub He once kept his lion cub in New York but found this a bit unhandy. One day he was walking on Broadway with his first lion, Gareth, when the creature became a bit peturlant. To forestall trouble, Woolley picked the cub up and carried it. A solicitous woman stopped Woolley on a street corner to ask: “Is your dog sick, young man?” “This is not a dog—-this is a lion,” Woolley replied. The woman dashed in the direction of a cruising taxicab. Despite his fondness, professional and otherwise, for animals, Woolley has no pets in his home. “It’s a bit of a nuisance to have a pet around,” he explains. o

Governor Townsend, who has given many addresses on the services of state government, had the pamphlet prepared in the hope that it would enable the people to utilize governmental services. The Governor said, “This booklet was prepared to acquaint the average citizen with state government in order that he may take full advantage of the services government offers him.” The booklet explains the services in detail, particularly those of the Welfare Department, Governor’s Commission on Unemployment Relief, Gross Income 'tax Division, Unemployment Compensation Divison, Motor Vehicle'i)ivU sion and Board of Tax Commission-

ers.

The pamphlet will be distributed to civics teachers, libraries and public offices, and any others who ask for them. Prior to the publication of the pamphlet, Governor Townsend said, there was no text book or pamphlet explaining the services of state government in existence. The pamphlet is entirely nonpartisan and does not mention the names of any public officers or any administration. It merely explains

the services of government as they

are today.

BUSINESS IS BETTER

Only the blind or the pessimistic can fail to see the signs of returned recovery. In every town in the (state, and on every farm, the results of the last special session of the legislature appear in the form of better business and a wider prosperity. ■ The money appropriated has not yet been su>at. It is only the confidence aroused by its promises that has produced this added confidence in the future. Very soon funds will be made available for the erection of the state institution. Septembei 15 has been fixed as the deadlin.) for plans to erect the new additions to asylums, colleges and prisons. Every city will have its own projects, for while it will pay its shar® of the cost, the rest being furnished by the Works Progress Administration. The people of no city has refused to accept this aid, because it means more jobs for workers, more purchases in stores, more use of modern conveniences. The plan has more than party approval. For it was cast an almost unanimous minority vote. The old order has gone. Out of the depression we have learned that this country can not exist half in poverty and half in luxury. There can be no backward steps o—

Tall stories of tall corn are being received by Governor M. Clifford Townsend following his boast that Indiana could produce taller corn than Illinois. “From word I have received, it looks like we’ll have to use the Consenvation Department fire tower for the tall corn contest,” the Governor said. “One farmer said that he’ll probably have to hitch a ride on a flat car to bring his stalk to the Fairgrounds.” The furor all started when Gov. ernor Henry Horner of Illinois challenged Governor Townsend to find a stalk of corn taller than the 16 foot, 4 1-2 inch stalk which won the contest at the Illinois State Fair. Indiana authorities took little notice of the Illinois contest until Governor Hotrner injlimated that Illinois soil was the best corn soil. These words were fighting words, so Governor Townsend accepted the challenge and issued a call to all Hoosier cor growers. “I know darn well that we grow corn in Indiana taller than that midget stalk from Illinois,” he said. “Why, in some places in Indiana the corn grows so tall that foreigners think the stalks are virgin timber. Governor Townsend said the Indiana State Fair Board would provide prices of $15, $10 and $5 for Indiana’s three tallest stalks, and that in addition he would present a trophy to the grower of the tallest Hoosier stalk. Corn growers are asked to bring their tallest stalks to the Prairie Farmer booth in the grandstand at the Fairgrounds. “I hape Indiana farmers, 4-H Club members and county agents get behind this contest, so that we cau show the world that Indiana not only grows the best corn, but the tallest corn,” Governor Townsend said. —— o —
