I “WABASH BLUES” END RUN Mayor Os Wabash Decides That Majority Os Citizens Don't Like The Tune Wabash, Jan. 4.—Unless there is a radical change in Mayor Wilson's present sentiment there will be no blue laws in force in this city next Sunday. Chief of Police Charles D. Bolte will be Instructed by Mayor Wilson to enforce the same Sunday regulations which were in effect here up to the time the Blue Law experiment was| made a few weeks ago. Wabash will not be ‘‘wide open”: it will simply re-1 turn to its same views of Sunday en-1 forcement whicli existed before agitation for a closed Sunday was started in ' the early winter. Mayor Wilson made this announcement this afternoon, after he had 1 I been in consultation with the chief ■ of police, prominent business and I professional men and manufacturers of this city. He expects to abide by I this decision and will not be changed I I in his attitude until it can be shown i | to him that a majority of the people; II want a change. | This decision meant that taxis will run again on Sunday, that food and, drug stores may operate on a limjted , scale, that tobacco may be sold and , ■ the same general conditions will re- J i turn to the city. , I The attitude of Sheriff Summerland I on this matter could not be ascertained this afternoon but it is thought. ■ that his policies are already well de- , fined and that he will adhere to them. o— LARGE SUM CONTRIBUTED Decatur Catholic Church Leads All Churches Outside Fort Wayne In Christmas Collection Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 4. —The sum of 17,1150.59 was contributed by the eight Catholic parishes and two hos--1 pitals in Fort Wayne to the fund for ' the support of the two diocesan or--1 phan asylums, St. Vincent's, in this ‘ city, and St. Joseph’s, at Lafayette. 1 The largest offering was received ’ | from th e Cathedral of the Immacu--1 late Conception and the second largest from the congregation of St. Patrick's.

EXTRA! (United Preks Service) Parle, Jan. 4.—The allied premiers’ conference ended today in complete disagreement. Failure of the entente that won the war to agree upon a joint method of collecting the spoils from Germany brought the latest European economic parley to an end. Britain and France were unalterably opposed in their stands as to how the reparations payments should be collected. The end was forecast yesterday, when the British announced refusal to accept the French plan and the French rejected that of Great Britain. Final effort to bring the two together was made today by Italy whose spokesman offered th e Italian plan as a compromise. On this plan the conferees were unable to agree and the British leave tonight for London, pos- ; sibly to consult what the United States regarding international action, such as was proposed by Hughes, while the French began preparations i to act alone. The entente is apparently permanently ruptured as far as agreeing upon reparations is concerned. Britain refused to agree to coersive measures proposed by France, while France refused to reduce th e amount she was I to receive from Germany.

The correction is cheerfully made as the story was printed just as we heard it and did j not come from any of the contractors ‘ i or carpenters. FAMILY FIRST, SAYS .11 DGE Georgia Judge Rules That A Man’s Family Comes Before Tobacco — (United Press Service) Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 4.—“A woman is . only a woman, but a good cigar is a i smoke,” Rudyard Kiling wrote. But the Georgia supreme court de- i cided that a man’s family should be I placed above a good smoke. The decision was rendered in the 1 case of Nan Sqiith against Horace 1 Smith, which was up on appeal after the wife had been granted S2O a month alimony and SSO attorney’s fees. “The defendant has stated that if compelled to pay the fees asked, he will have no money left for tobacco.” The court stated, “we appreciate the ■ pleasures of the weed, but whets a man enters the bonds of matrimony he accepts many matrimonial burdens. “One of these burdens is the support of his wife and children and when a conflict arises between the discharge of this duty and the use of tobacco, the matter must yield to the former.” Visitors Entertain Auctioneer Students The students and faculty of Col Reppert's Auction School received I real "treats” this morning in the addresses of the visitors who called on the class. Col. Fred W., Busche, graduate of the class of 1921, gave the school an interesting speech which was ' appreciated by the entire class. For the past two years Col. Busche has|

specialized in Duroc-Jersey hog sales. The Rev. Whitesell, pastor of the Decatur Baptist church, made a short talk, and Rev. Harry Clark followed in a masterly lecture on Christian | character as an asset to the auctioneer; and lty request of Col Reppert, gave u real trout by giving the school the thrilling story of His early life. URGES SEX HYGIENE Quaker Authority Says Super Race Would Result From Sex Hygiene Teaching (United Press Service) Chicago, Jan. 4. —A race of super j nun and women would result from the general practice of the principles of ' sex hygiene, Dr. Thomas J. Allen, noted Quaker authority, declared here. “Come out in the open," Dr. Allen declared. “Fighting the sex problem ; in silence and secrecy has proven a woeful failure. Ninety per cent of the misery in the ( world is caused by ignorance of sex matters. "The high school teacher who docs not know that much of the failure of her charges in both athletics ami studies is due to wasted vitality has not even cut her wisdom teeth yet. “Proper sex instruction must be based on the truism that the iniquities of the parents are visited on the children to the third and fourth generation. “The Jews have survived as a race longer than other peoples simply because they practiced a crude sort of sex hygiene taught by Moses.” COLLEGE BASKETBALL This Week Marks Real Opening Os College Net Season In Indiana (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Jan. 4. —This is tile ; week that marks the real opening Os I the college basketball season in Ini diana.
