which raise food prices . . .

It is to be hoped that the Department will give special attention to the legislative factor. For there can be no question but what laws now in effect in a majority of the states are in one way or another contrary to the interests of producers and consumers alike—and act as a barrier to progressive retail groups which seek to lower prices and broaden

their service.

A case in point occurred in Colorado a short time back. In 1937, the state passed an Unfair Practices Law which prohibited “below cost’* selling. For some time “cost” was judged by retailers as being wholesale price plus a nine per cent mark-up. In November, a Colorado retailers’ association met and voted to raise the minimum retail mark-up to 12 per cent, plus 2 per cent more for grocers with their own wholesale warehouses. One result of this the resignation of

the foresight and'energy to do THEIR share in building up

the industry.

Families Are Shrinking

In 1890 the average American family numbered 4.9

persons; in 1900, 4.7; in 1910, 4.5; in 1920, 4.3; in 1930, 4.1 persons. The Bureau of the Census places the average of

the country in 1940 at 3.8 persons per family.

The number of families in the U. S. increased by 16.3% during the past ten years. “It is evident therefore, that an increase in the number of families may occur without an in-

crease in population,” observes the Census Bureau. Or, as your family doctor would explain in plainer language: Fewer

a large chain system from the association on the grounds j babies are born to married couples nowadays than ever bethat the new policy appeared to be an*attempt to fix prices jf° re i n the history of the United States,

contrary 'to government warnings about unnecessarily in-j

creasing costs to the consumer.

This is but one example out of many. The trend of retail legislation for many years has been in the direction of price-fixing, of penalizing merchants who can and wish to sell for less, and of otherwise artificially inflating the cost of living. This has cost the American people untold millions

of dollars.

If the Department of Justice investigation can ferret out the facts, and present them officially to the public, it will be doing a splendid job. And the modern retailers of America, chain and independent alike, agree to do all they can to keep prices at the lowest possible level.

INTRICATE DETAIL FEATURES PARIS-STYLED ENSEMBLES

> Agriculture Is Prepared According to Secretary of Agriculture Wickward, agriculture is well prepared to play its part in national defense. There are adequate supplies of foodstuffs and plenty of sgil fertility to meet any call that may come to the American farmer. Much of the credit for that must go to the agricultural marketing cooperatives, which have done more than any other agency over the years to put the farmer on a businesslikeproduction and distribution basis. They have done a fine work in promoting better methods of soil utilization, of harvesting, of shipping, etc. They have attempted not only to obtain a better return for the farmer, but to assure the consumer of a dependable supply of farm crops at a reasonable figure. Agriculture’s role in national defense is vital. The nation is fortunate that its farmers are so well able to do their job.

Warriors Against Disease American medicine, as an authority recently observed, has a weak spot. It is not a weakness affecting the patient —the sick man or woman anxiously seeking lies in the fact that the medical profession has been so busy fighting disease in experimental laboratories as well as at the bedsides of the ill, that it has found little time to tell the public of its tremendous achievements. The undeniable record is there for all who wish to read it. /And it tells, through the figures, a dramatic and inspirational story of an endless battle against disease and suffering and death. That battle has won victory after victory. In the period of a century and a half, in this country, the life expectancy of man has nearly doubled—from 35 to 62 years. During that time, typhus, once one of the greatest killers, has all but disappeared. Small pox and diphtheria, dreaded specters not so long ago, have been robbed of their terrors. Other great scourges—typhoid, diabetes, tuberculosis—have been brought under control, and their mortality rates steadily reduced. That is what American medicine—private medicine—has done. And all over the land, in countless laboratories and institutes, privately financed and managed for the most part, the doctors and the scientists are fighting, day and night, the scourages which have not yet been conquered. Medicine is not an industry. But, like industry, it'has rendered its greatest service to the people under a system which places no brakes upon the achievements of the individual, and which encourags any man, in any field, to develop his talent to th eutmost.

Paris—Ardanse, whose fashion creations in evening wear are well known in the United States, has adapted her new collection to the present situation here. Her collection is small, but extremely wearable, with rich, intricate detail. Ardanse presents ingenious pockets of various shapes

(his season.

An unusual ensemble shown was a smart, gray suit, simply cut, with a tight, hip-length jacket and circular skirt. A red belt with a red, bulging sandbag suspended on the belt, accented the waistline. An interesting coat modeled was a gray swagger, with large-check lining. Original pockets, cut in the form of a briefcase, were fastened with straps and buckles. When they were unstrapped, the length of the pockets increased about three times and hung loosely.

Ardanse’s jackets are rather long, with nipped-in waists and wide, circular, calf-length suit

shirts.

One smart jacket was fashioned of vivid green taffeta, with a quilted collar in a checked pattern. It had a .slip representing tiny metal keys mounted on a ring, hanging, from a high neckline. Dresses, for the most part, showed high necklines. Afternoon frocks, call-length, were shown in black taffeta, wool or silk velvet. An interesting frock in this group was of black taffeta, with a shirred bodice mounted on a flat yoke. The skirt was wide and full and gathered about the waist. Another exquisite model was made of black silk velvet, with flat shirring on both sides of the waistline and a circular skirt with more folds in back than in front. > <k.' .

The Parade of Science Goes On Science, said the great Pasteur, is the soul of prosperity and the living sources of all progress. Industrial research in this country has for' a long time been emphasizing the validity of Pasteur’s words. And today, in our national defense emergencyy, and in the period of economic readjustment to follow it, America will be doubly dependent upon industrial research—science teaming with American industry, unsurpassed in its ability to produce. At a recent “Science Show” in New York City, models showed in a dramatic way some of the directions in which the research worker is continuing to open new vistas of knowledge and achievement. New uses for ultraviolet rays to kill bacteria or, alternatively, to tenderize meatL Instruments so delicate that they can measure the activity of atoms within the human body! Synthetic rubber, made from materials America possesses in abundance—petroleum, natural gas, soap, and air!_ Clothing made from milk, from natural gas and salt, from just about every kind ©f raw material that

you can possibly imagine!

It was a “show,” of course; its main purpose was to entertain. But it also served to show that the future of this nation is in good hands—that industry and science are working together to make America strong and to provide its citi-

sens in even ^eater abundance with tbe

wish tor and the things that they need. to fly womon passengers.

Austin, Tex.—Texas 47th legislature will begin an 120-day session on Jan. 14, facing virtually the same problems as the last

legislatui’e.

A transaction-sales tax as an alternative to increased tax rates on natural resources, deadlocked most of that session. Overwhelming re-election of Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel who sponsored the transaction tax, and defeat of many of its most stubborn opponents in the November election indicated that oil, natural gas, sulphur and the other resources will have more sympathetic administration in 1941. Oil troubles center again around renewal of the act under which oil production is prorated by a commission. Proposals have been advanced to create ah appointive commission to supplant the elected one of three members! which now controls Texas oil affairs. New Truck Law Forecast Apparently headed for swift repeal is the state’s law limiting loads of motor trucks to 7,000 po'unds. The statute is expected to give way to the uniform law basing weight on its distribution over the roadway. Various truck and farm organizations have endorsed such a change. Railroads, which blocked repeal of the 7,000 pound load law last time are said to have withdrawn from the fight. If the transaction tax is enacted, old age pensions in Texas are expected to increase. Another social security project adopted by popular vote in a statewide election calls upon the state to match funds with school teachers in creating a teachers’ retirement fund. The state set up the machinery and teachers contributed, but the state for six years has neglected to appropriate its share. It will require about $10,000,000 now to keep faith with the teachers. Patriotic Bill Drawn Many members already have prepared bills to offer to the session. Among them are: A ban on holders of one office running for another without resigning; a requirement that no pupil be graduated from a publicly supported school or college until he can recite the preamble to the United States Constitution and its first 10

Amendments.

o . Home Building Up In Kansas

Topeka Kas.—'Homer C. Bastian, state director of th Federal Housing Administration, reported a 52 per cent increase In home building in Kansas for the month of August. • •

of Early Man

Boston—Fish weir stakes unearthed 35 feet below filled-in marshland in Boston’s Back Bay supply evidence of New England’s earliest- people and culture. Prof. Albert 'Morris, Boston University sociologist, says the ish traps date the era of prelistoric man, 2,500 to 3,000 years Ago in a considerably warmer cli-

mate.

He believes a band of “preAlgonquian Indians” drove their “adze-sharpened stakes” down in the shallow waters of an inland bay. Discovery of the weir was made in August, 1939, during evacuation for a building founda-

tion.

“The weir is important,” Morris said, “as the only discovery yet made that permits an approximate dating of the earliest people and culture of New England. There is evidence that the climate of Boston was considerably warmer at ^he time the first weir was built than it is now. “The evidence of the Back Bay deposits is supported by studies of fossil flora elsewhere in this country which indicate the ending of a warm dry period in northeastern America about 3,000 years

ago.”

WEATHER POST ON ISLE LONELY

Oklahoma City, Okla.—Weather Observer Paul A. Arnerich leaves Oklahoma City soon and where he’s going he won’t need much baggage. Arnerich has been transferred to the tiny island of Swan in the Caribbean sea, some 1,000 miles southeast of New Orleans. The island, a half-mile wide and four miles long, has a population of three weather observers and one cook. The only direct communication with the island is by short wave radio. A banana' boat occasionaly docks, perhaps evefy six weeks or so, and brings mail. Arnerich, '28, and single, has been communicating by short wave radio with the man he is to relieve. “He seems pretty anxious that nothing happens to me,” said Arnerich. *Tve learned there is plenty of time for fishing, swimming, boat rides and shooting lizards. They shoot lizards with .22 rifles. Some of the lizards reach enormous ^ize.” Arnerich is a native of California. He prepared to leave OklahomarCity as the m^TcTffjrskTdcred down to a few degrees above zero.

Lincoln, Neb.—Nebraska’s unicameral legislature convenes for its third session Jan. 7, still regarded as a governmental experiment on which final judgment should he withheld. Two fundamental complaints have been directed at the onehouse, non-political body, but no concerted move has been launched to overhaul it. Most criticism, of the legislature has devolved around these assertions: 1— Its non-partisan character makes for lack of leadership with consequent confusion and delay. 2— -The present membership of 43 is too limited; legislators are overburdened with work and are unable to give proper consideration to bills without unduly extending the session. System Basically Popular Hence, most proposed changes call for enlargement of the body and restoration of election to members on a party ticket. There has been no significant demand for a return to the two-house system. Reorganization proposals have failed to win support, even from some who favor ' revision, apparently because of a belief that the unicameral system is still in an experimental stage and has not received a fair test. A bill was introduced in the 1939 session, proposing a referendum vote on a constitutional amendment to increase the membership to 80 or 100 and to elect legislators on a political ticket. The measure died in committee. An effort to dislodge it received only eight voles, although more than onethird of the members refrained from voting. Fathered By Norris The Nebraska electorate approved the unicameral amendment, father by Sen. George W. Norris, in a 1934 referendum. Principal objectives were to create a body of more qualified legislators and to divorce legislation from partisan politics. Members now receive a biennial salary of $1,744, whereas they formerly were paid $10 for each legislative day. Despite the salary increase, the decrease in membership from 133 to 43 halved total session costs and reduced them to a point below the figure for salaries alone under the bicameral system. , Total cost of the 1939 session was $100,678, while that for 1937 was $103,445. For the last two bicameral sessions, expenses totaled $173,023 in 1933 and $202,593 in

1935.

First, the procurement of a labor for defense industry, the training of labor for skilled work, and the protection of the worker in defense projects. Second, the protection of vital properties including factories, utilities, transportation facilities from possible damage by saboteurs. Third, the protection of health and welfare of communities adjacent to defense concen trations. Governor Townsend reported a cash balance of $15,339,657.03 in the state treasury on January first. The state is now operating on a balanced budget and the building program provided for by the special session of 1938 is completed. A farewell banquet will be accorded to Governor Townsend tonight in the Riley room of the Claypool hotel. He will turn over the office as governor to his successor Henry Schricker next Mon-

UTAH DUSTS OFF STATE CHARTER

Salt Lake City, Utah—Residents of Utah have lived under a state constitution for 45 years, but until recently not more than a dozen of them had ever seen the original copy. When the Utah territory’s constitutional convention completed its work in May, 1895, the document was copied and then—the following January—was placed in a vault in the office of the secretary of state. There it remained as the years passed, but over the protests of Louis L. Corey, a Utah pioneer and one of the signers. Corey thought the constitution deserved a more dignified resting place, and he finally won his point. In Capitol Rotunda Recently the document was removed from the vault and placed in a marble cabinet in the capitol rotunda in Salt Lake City. The 1939 legislature authorized construction of the cabinet, as a result of Corey’s ceaseless efforts. Eight of the original signers— there was 105—were present for the dedication and unveiling of the new repository. Every one of them past 75’, the lives of the eight old men spanned many eventful days. All of them could look back to the troubled months when the U. S. government was arrayed against the founders of Deseret— the Latter Day Saints under the leadership of Brigham Young, John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff. Vast Changes Recalled Within the period of their lives and of the document they helped create, tremendous changes had occurred in Utah. The differences between the church and government had been resolved—so effectively, in fast, that the recent conference of the L.D.S. faith was highlighted by pledges of loyalty to the American way of life. The aged eyes of the signers had no difficulty in recognizing the document. But, as one speaker pointed out, it was doubtful whether the constitution—peering through its alphabetical eyes—recognized the state, after its long hibernation. SLATE BELIEVED FOUND

(Continued From Page One) Following the semLfinal round, the person holding the righest score in each of the 4 state regions will go to Indianapolis on Feb. 7 where they will be joined at Mi'- Clowes’ residence by the 4 highest scoring players from Indianapolis, and “cutting” for partners and tables, will compete for the state prize. Commenting upon the regulations of the tournament, Mrs. Meredith said that full information is available to all members of the local unit through members of the unit telephone committee. ‘Final authority will be the latest Culbertson rules,” she said, “including the Blackwood slam-approach

bidding.

“In an affair of these proportions,” she added, “it is impossible for our members to invite everyone who would like to take part in the tournament and whose participation would be a definite addition to me play. We therefore ask. that everyone in this city who wants to play in the tournament communicate with Mrs. Thomas J. Turk, our local bridge chairman. She will arrange the time and places for play to suit their conveniences.” INDIANA SCHOOL BOON TO DEAF

An oft repeated tale containing more tragedy than comedy is that of the political party which has ■had slim pickings for a number of years. Finally the public gets fed up with the political machine in power, land they rise up and turn the rascals out. Then the opposition party, which has vowed to. end bossism and dictatorship and bring order out of chaos, gets into office, elected because the people really want to get rid of machine politics. But then a strange thing too often seems to happen. The leaders of this “reform” party start right in looking ahead to the next election, and they decide that if they are to win that election they too must have a machine. And before long they have a machine just as coldly efficient and undemocratic as the one they recently defeated. And not infrequently the people become just as disgusted with the new machine as they were with the old one, and ^ote a change of administration at the next election. We are not running this article now merely to fill space. A Republican state administration has been elected by a narrow margin in protest against high-handed machine politics by the Democrats. Yet sufficient people were so afraid of ,a Republican machine, if given full control, that they split their ballots and elected a Democratic governor to maintain a check and balance. The mandate of the people of Indiana is clear. They want government by and for the people. They do not want to be bossed by organizations of - public; employees and a streamlined political machine. We hope and pray that the Republicans now taking over will bear that in mind, for their own good as well as the good of the people.

Indianapolis, Ind.—Indiana has one of the most modern schools in the nation equipped to overcome deafness among children and enable them to take a normal place in society. The school is one of three or four in the country employing a new technique and its achievements are being closely watched by other states. Children enter the free state school as first graders and must learn to “hear” by reading lips and to speak by shaping words with their mouths and training the voices many never realized they

had.

The students, numbering approximately 460, have a difficult task because many have never known what words are although most deaf people have normal vocal cords. The basis of the system begins by association of written words with objects. Pupils then are taught how Vowels and consonants are formed by the lips. The children shape the vowels and consonants into words. At the same time, they are also learning “the Three R’s.” When the primary, intermediate and high school grades are finished, the pupil’s lack of hearing is almost overcome. However, since they cannot hear, their voices usually are flat, lacking the full inflection of normal conversation. The superintendent, J. A. Raney, has changed the school from an institution to an educational enterprise. Its 77-acre grounds, with a huge administration building housing classrooms, and offices and a boy’s and a girl’s dormitory, make the school resemble a col-

lege.

The school cost the state $400 a year per pupil and parents must pay clothing and incidental bills. 0 — China recently celebrated the 29th anniversary of the outbreak of the Republican Revolution. o Legal Notice ■NOTICK OF ASSESSMENT Notice is hereby given by the Board of Public Works and Safety of the City of Muncie, Indiana, that 4he assessment roll, with the name of the owner and description of property subject tp be assessed, with the amount of prima facie assessment, has been made and is now on file and can be seen at the office of the Board, for the following improvement, to-wit: For the construction of curb and gutter on Wayne Street from Reserve' Street to Linden Street, under Improvement Resolution No.

Elmira, N. Y., Jan. 6.—An experimental project inaugurated by the National Youth Administration is expected to determine the value of sailplanes—motorless aircraft— in teaching civilians to fly. Purchase of three all-metal sail planes in “kit” form, to be con structed at the Cassidy Lake Tech nical School at Chelsea, Mich., un der the direction of Theodore Bel lak, marks the first time that of ficial Washington has taken an in terest in motorless flight as a na tional defense measure. Sailplane “kits” are complete sailplanes in knockdown form. Beliak, who once flew a glider across Lake Michigan, will supervise the construction of the planes as well as NYA training in them. Each glider has two seats, for the instructor and his student. If the experiment is successful, plans will be presented in Washington to expand the program. Germans Learn In Gliders In Germany, the air force consists largely of pilots who learned to fly in motorless aircraft. Recently the German Air Ministry extended its glider flight training to seaplane flying. The gliders are towed off the water. Once aloft, a glider pilot stays there by finding “thermals,” rising currents of air.

Roosevelt To Advocate Changes In Social Security Setup Congress at its new session is going to he ashed by President Roosevelt to make sweeping changes in the social security setup, including more generous provision for the aged. He is expected to. outline his plans in his annual message next month. To members of Congress the President has asserted the view that the present old-age assistance is inadequate and that revision is necessary. His idea, he is quoted as saying, is that the Federal government’s contribution to age pensions should not be less than $30 a month, regardless of state contributions, with payments starting at age 60. Average Now Low Under existing law the Federal government matches state contri butions up to $20, but few commonwealths are taking advantage of .the provision. Average pensions for the country run in the neighborhood of $17 a month. Under the $30 minimum which the President has in mind (he states could add whatever they felt was right or possible. Senator Sheridan Downey (Dem. Calif.), an outstanding advocate of adequate protection for “senior citizens,” declared this week that he will sponsor an old-age pension proposal, which will be drafted after the President has publicly made known what he desires in Ihe way of legislation. Desires Better Law The California solon said the President had told him recently he desired a better law and that he intended to urge a “wholly Federal system, yielding higher payments without humiliating terms or burdensome restructions.” Asserting that the next Congress will be “pension conscious,” Downey said that he will advocate a 2 per cent tax on the gross income of all corporations and individuals, with a provision that the funds raised should be equally distributed among all persons past 60. It has been estimated by its supporters that a tax such as Downey wants would yield sufficient revenue to pay to all 60-year-oldsters about $57 a month.—Labor. o Legal Notice NOTICE 'OF IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION
