DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923.

Here’s Good News For Automobile Drivers Willshire, Ohio, Sept. 22. —At the regular council meeting Monday night, the street committee, I’ouncilmen Hill and Strickler, were instructed to give the cross walk at State and Wolcott streets some longneeded attention. This crossing, which is a hump-backed affair rising felly a toot above the street level, has become a menace to automobile traffic, for crossing it at anything faster than a snail's pace invites damage to the vehicle and injury to its occupants. The street committee plans to build a cement approach from either side of the walk, starting several feet back and gradually leading up to the hump, thus eliminating the sudden rise which the jvalk now has. Other crossings will also be repaired and built, if there is time. Following the subjugation of the hump, a dummy corner signal will be installed at State and Wolcott streets. The signal, which, is an iron-enclosed, red globe, is about a foot high and will be electrically lighted. It will set in the center of the intersection. o DIVORCE SUITS. ' Terre Haute Judge Has New Method of Handling Cases. Terre Haute, Sept. 22. —A new idea in settlement of divorce suits is being ' tried by Judge Gleason in superior court here. When three wives, all mothers, filed suits for divorce, charging failure Ito support, the Judge ordered the | three husbands arrested and turned I over the complaints of the wives to ! the prosecuting attorney for investigation by the grand Jury. “Some people think the divorce court an easy way of getting relieved of the support o ftheir families,” re- ! marked the Judge as he ordered the I next case. FEATHER FJR HATS. Feather trimmings are the most i popular ones for hats now, and fre- | quently the entire brim is composed of them. On the panne velvet shapes, the "stick-up” of ostrich fancy is ali most inevitable.

Letter From Germany, Received Here, Bears 725,000 Marks In Postage Stamps

C. D. Lewton of this city, received a letter from Germany yesterday which bore 725,000 marks in stamps. The letter was sent to Mr. I.ewton by O. C. Williams, financial correspondent for this state for the L'nion Central Life Insurance Company. Mr. Lewton is field agent for this com pany. The letter was mailed in Munich, Germany. There were three 200,000-mark stamps, one 10,000-mark stamp, one 15,000-mark stamp and two 5,000-mark stamps. The letter, which gives an idea of the present conditions in Germany, is very interesting and is printed herewith: "Munich, Sept. 3, 1923. “My Dear Mr. Lewton: "We have been enjoying this lovely city for about a month and are reluctant to leave it. I have delayed our sailing a couple of weeks because my wife and daughter were so anxious to remain, but we now expect to sail on the 29th and I hope to soon be back at the office ready for business. "When I say ‘business’ I can’t help thinking if the prospects of our American farmer. I think it is useless to consider the German market for months and perhaps for years to come —perhaps never again, that is, if Russia awakens to her opportunities. France has enough wheat for her needs. Russia has several million tons to sell. Germany would buy but hasn't the ‘dollars’ and will not have until the French are out of the Ruhr. "There are so many features of life to be considered here today and so many cross-currents that it is hard to say Just what the actual situation is—and no casual tourist sees or understands. Here in Bavaria there is no immediate prospect of trouble, but in the greater manufacturing districts of northern Germany—Leipsic, Berlin, Hamburg an uprising may occur any day. The French allow no coal to go to Germany and the Germans have no ‘dollars” with w-hich to buy English coal. Food prices are soaring Willshire Has New Methodist Minister Willshire, Ohio, Sept. 22. —The new pastor of the Willshire M. E. church is Rev. J. T. Yocom. He and his family—wife and four children —arrived in this village last Friday from Ansonia, and all of Saturday, until late at night they were occupied with becoming partially domiciled in the parsonage. Rev. Mr. Yocom moved about among the people Saturday and made a favorable impression upon ail persons with whom he came in contact, and that impression was strengthened Sunday in the two services that were held at the church. His talks to the congregations were in the nature of get-acquainted discourses and were attentively listened to by a large and representative audiences. The people of his charge and of the community generally are according Rev. Yocom and family the welcome and encouragement that is their due, all hopeful for a mutually profitable year in church work.

Fort Wayne Man Gets High Masonic Honor Ft. Wayne, Sept. 22. —Dr. W. E. Neuenschwander, 711 Edgewater avenue, a prominent Fort Wayne Mason, was elected to the Thirtythird degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons at the conclave being held in New York city. But eight Indiana men were elevated to the Thirty-third and highest degree in Scottish Rite Masonry at the reunion and the honor conferred upon Dr. Neuenschwander is considered by Fort Wayne Masons to be of especial merit this year. William Geake, Thir-ty-third, of this city, took an active part at the conclave which meets once every year and which is attended by Thirty-third degree Masons from the northern jurisdiction. The other Indiana Masons elevated ( to the Thirty-third degree were: Leslie D. Ciancey, of Indianapolis; Arthur R. Robinson and Eugene Vatta, of Muncie; Harry C. Moore, of Marion; Thomas J. Meyer, of Logansport; W. H. Baugh, of Terre Haute, and William E. Specht, of Elkhart. o VELVETS IN STYLE. Changeable velvets are new this season and are particularly liked for wraps. BASKETBALL AT SHELBYVILLE Shelbyville, Sept. 22. —Business . men of Shelbyville, through the Better Business Clulb, have voted to give the Shelbyville basketball team 1 their financial and unlimited moral support this year. Fans believe chances of a championship team here are better than ever before.

and I greatly fear that when the pinch i of cold and hunger comes there will be trouble. Under the treaty Germany cannot maintain an army sufficiently large to enforce order and the ‘Reda’ are aggressive—easyl enough with a discouraged people. "Munich is one of the most beautiful cities In the world. For years her kings were patrons of art and builders of beautiful castles, etc. From this came culture, art, music, etc., so that even today the city is the mecca for thousands of tourists, who come . to its opera, its museums, universities, etc. The city welcomes foreigners, ‘Auslanders,’ except of course, French or Belgians. The merchants want Americans for they bring 'dollars’ and N. Y. exchange, badly needed, for the mark has soared so that it is valuless outside of Germany., When we came the mark was 280,000 ' to the dollar —now it is eleven million —this does not specially affect us., but it is terrible on the poor and on those who have no trade or occupa-! tion—widows and others, living on investments. Also the professional j classes —doctors, scientists, etc., are suffering and witir no prospect of help. I don't like to think what will j happen to the poor and dependent ( when winter comes. "We expect to spend a week or two in Baden-Baden, then a week I each in Basle and Paris, then home. We are in good health and have enjoyed the change and rest and the opportunity of studying conditions first hand and will all be glad to put foot on our own shores again, tho’ we fear the custom house as my wife and daughter are laden with purchases and are in doubt whether they can convince the inspectors that modern cut German dresses are in reality prehistoric American castoffs. "I hope you and your family have ' had a pleasant summer and so with I regards to yourself and remember-1 ances to Mrs. Lewton, I am "Sincerely, "O. C. WILLIAMS.” VALUABLE GERMAN POLICE DOG Greensburg, Sept. 22. —Louis Dalm- i bert has a German police dog valued at more than 11,000,000,000.000 marks ! At least that was what it was valued i at the last time he stopped to figure it up in marks. The dog was sent to Lelmbert by : two former Greensburg residents who are now touring Europe. o $500,000 Worth of Bonded Whiskey Stolen St. Louis, Sept. 22.
