family. A’cording to the Portland Republican's report of the speech, nothing was said about the woman who is reported to be splitting her • small pay as janitor of tho committee presided over by Vestal. The Repub- ' Mean had made plain that unless the charges were refuted it would not support Vestal in his race for reJ election. j The. Evening World made charges igsirtst other Indiana representatives listing the employes credited to them and attempting to show that in many instances members of their families I and other near relatives were on the I government rolls. Representative Benham, who wrote his own biography in the "Congressional Directory and said he stood for "clean politics and cleanness and efficiency in office,” is reported to obtain this efficiency by providing his wife with a Job at $1,839.96 a year, and Mrs. Hattie Benefiel, another relative, with a position that pays $1,840. If congressmen intend to continue such practice the voters should know it. A candidate might well say that his family is running for office, instead of himself alone. Then, if the people elected the family there would be no surprise and no complaint after the members had been attached to the public pay roll.—lndianapolis News. Officials of the General Electric company, including President Swope and General Manager Emmons as well as Mr. Goll and Mr. Barnes of Fort Wayne are pleased with the progress being made by the Decatur I branch of this great corporation.

I tho world is back to normal and sane , condition, the Decatur plant at the O. i E. will be oue of the big concerns in r this part of tho state. That means ) much go every citizen of this county. , Every act and every number on the . program lor the big fair is being giv- . en as advertised and more. The midway with hundreds of attractions is equal to a state fair, the exhibits of livestock wonderful, the races immense, the special acts numerous and entertaining, the night program great —in fact its the best fair in the middle west and every citizen ought to be a booster. ■ n. Jga The coal situation is becoming more serious each day and evidently the settlement is more difficult than the railway strike. Ju the meantime the governor of Indiana will see that the mines are operated and that food factories and state institutions are furnished sufficient coal for all purposes. Twenty thousand men employed on the Chicago street car lines went out on strike yesterday and a million are walking to and from their work. Normalcy is a stiff dose. e —— Watch for the dollars.

Edmisin. editorial writer of the Indlanpolia Star, and George Buck, principal of Shortridge high school.

This statement was made recently by Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads. United States department of agriculture, in urging a readjustment of sources of revenue so that a larger proportion would be paid by the road user and a lesser percentage from state or local taxes. "This method of raising funds,” declared Mr. MacDonald, “is rapidly growing in favor and has been adopted in Arizona, Arkansas. Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Ixmisiana, Maryland* Mississippi. Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Washington. Os these states, only Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado and Kentucky had such a tax prior to January 1, 1921. The tax in Maryland, Mississippi, and South Carolina has been adopted during the present year and several other states are considering such a tax.” Watch the sidewalk for dollars. 1-2 e , Purdue to Teach Course Concerning Koad Building Lafayette, Aug 2. —Studies to deter mine the wearing qualities of gravel and stone roads and tho wearing ability of different types of concrete roads under various conditions of traffic have, been arranged in a now contract just drawn up between the Engineer ing Experiment Station of Purdue University and the U. S. Bureau of Public roads. This work was started two years ago and much data lias been collected from the hundreds of experiments on the ball test of mortar and concrete with different kinds of auto tires and loads of different weights. Tlie research work is of particular value in the national road building program and is in addition to the tests of Indiana road materials which the Purdue engineers have been making for years. It is expected that the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads will station two research engineers at Purdue this fall to help carry on the additional tests. Making of various gravel mixtures with stones, including limestone, quartz, grand, trap and sandstone, will be tested out so that the wearing qualities of these different combinations may be tested thoroughly. In the new concrete tests, the strength of different designs of concrete clabs, and different concrete mixtures will be tested thoroughly. Watch for the dollars. Pick them up.

ITALY SETTLING DOWN TO INDUSTRIAL PEACE Rome, Aug. I—That Italy is steadily settling down industrially is demonstrated by the fact that statistics just completed show that during 1921 strikes in Italy decreased some fifty per cent over the preceding year. Incomplete returns for the first half of 1922 indicate that the same ratio of decrease over 1921 will lie maintained during the present year. The complete statistics for 1921 show a total of 1,045 strikes in which 634.564 workmen participated with the total result of a loss of 7,772,879 work ing days. This was a decrease of 44.44 per cent in the number of strikes over 1920; 49.16 per rcent of the number of strikers and 52.60 per cent in the number of working days lost. — . » — You Guard Against Burglars, But What About Rats?
