Thrift is a fine thing if we don’t let it grow’ into stinginess. The people want the ii'ii’itry to go with as little overhead as possible, but don’t forget they want it to go forward.

His inauguration today was a modest one, his. efforts to reduce expenditures in the White House are commendable but there are other things to do than the boosting of salaries of congressmen if wc are to have good times and that's what we all want, regardless of politics.

How he finds Julie, how lie equates liis passion with his Faith, how he passes through the fair valley of woman’s enchantment to the Calvary of self-abasement and self-sacrifice — is the theme of this astounding play —the most delicate, the most beautiful and the most outspoken love story of the modern stage. The Julie whom Peter loves is every man’s heroine. She stands for woman’s love, for its intoxication, its wayward fancy, its tenderness. And she has as many lovers as there are men who see this truthful—and possibly shocking to those stay-at-homes whose smug rcspoctabiltty an<l con vcntional religion has been put to ’ no such fiery trial-story of what Peter and Julie saw and did. "Simon Called Peter” comes to the Majestic t Theater, Fort Wayne, Friday night. March 6. —o Receive Notice Os School Poster Contest • I ' Bloomington, Ind.. March 4. — Decature grade and high school pupils have been given notice of the annual state public school poster contest which is being conducted for the second year by the Indiana ParentTeacher Association in co-operation with the Extension Division of Indiana University. Several hundred students interested in drawing and art work competed in the contest last year. One hundred and thirty posters were entered in Hie final competition. Miss Alethea PArr, of Broad Ripple high school, Indianapolis, and Sidney Stine, a Gary grade school student, were winners of first prizes last year. The poster contest is designed to . serve two purposes: to interest public school children in simple work of art; and to provide poster material for distribution to the public schools over the state through the Indiana University Bureau of Visual I Instruction. The field from which posters may be selected consists of three groups: physical—including health and recreation; mental and moral — including posters on the value of art, habits. 1 school activities, and literature; and the spiritual group, which consists of studies in devotion, reverence, fair i play, obedience, loyalty, and patriotism. The poster contest committee consists of two members: Mrs. 11. F. Thomas, Pendelton, chairman, department of art, Indiana State Parentl Teacher Asoseiation; and Hugh W. ’ Norman, Bloomington, chairman, dek partment of visual education, Indiana [ State Parent-Teacher Association. Mr. I Norman Is director of the bureau of l visual instruction at Indiana UuiverI sity. Awards to winners include a silver 1 cup to the .high schools submitting the best poster, banners To the high school submitting-the second and . third best posters, a silver cup for the - best grade school poster, and suitable banners for the second and third best

I The contest closes April 21 J New Congress Shows Republicans In Power (United I’rCHH Servkc) Washington, March 4 —(Special Io Dally Democrat)—The turbulent six- ' ty-elghth congress was shorn of its ‘ power automatically at noon today and the new Republican Congress swept in behind the Coolidge landslide last November—assumed legis- ' lathe authority over the nation. I The change marked the passing of| II coGillion legislation and heralded the * coining of straight-out Republican * rule. 1 At noon the gavels of President Protcinpore Cummins in the Senate, and Speaker Gillett in the House, fellj lor the last time. With a tap the ' old Congress, which has adopted a Democratic tax bill, passed an insurance soldier bonus aud repudiated in many instances the Republican legislative program, was ushered out. The new Congress, whose first duty will be to plau a new tax reduction, came in. The presiding officers stepped down from their places. Cummins handed his gavel over <o Vice President Charles G. Dawes, who is to govern the Senate for the next four years. The House of Representatives, not being a continuing body like the Senate, did not remain in session and may not. convene again until December, unless President Coolidge calls •k especially to reduce taxes. The House Chamber was left vacant while members filed over the Senate to witness the inaugural ceremony. Many new faces were seen in both chambers and many faces were there that will not be Been again. The fatal fall of ballots had lopped off many heads and brought new men out of obscurity into the limelight. Just what a numerical change was wrought can be understood from the following comparison of the strength of tho political parties in the old Congress and the new: Senate New Old ’ Republicans 55 52 Democrats 40 42 ( Farmer-Labofites ... . 1 2 House New Old Republicans 245 222 Democrats 183 208 Independents ... 11 Farmer-Laborites . 2 11 Socialists 2 1 But there is even a greater chang" 1 tliau the numbers can tell. The sixty-eighth Congress came iu two years ago with a bang. Senator Rob 1 ut M. Laollctte. recent presidential opiament of Mr. Coolidge, had acquir-' ed control of a strong little group of Republicans which with the help of the Democrats upon some legislation could overrule the Republicans. The LaFollette group dominated the entire session, just closing. They 1 •first tied up organization of the House, demanding liberalization of •he rules, and elected a Democrat the head of the Senate interstate commerce committee. The closing Congress will be known in history chiefly for its sopsationai series of investigations. The Teapot Dome inquiry and the Depart ment of Justice investigation resulted in the resignation of two members of the President’s cabinet. Attorney General Daugherty and Secretary of tb 0 Navy Denby. A score of other investigations were undertaken, ending loss conspicuously. The tax bill probably was the outstanding piece of legislation enacted, . even overshadowing its companion piece, the soldiEr bonus. In enacting tlie tax bill the Congress ignored the recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and provided less reduction for higher incomes than for small incomes. Tho President termed the bill ‘‘unsatisfactory’’ when he signed if Provision also was made in the measure for publicity of income tax returns. A now immigration bill was passed excluding Japanese. No 'important farm relief legislation was cauc- ; tioned. Early in the session the • Norris-Sinclair bill was defeated in the Senate and the McNary-Haugen bill was thrown out in the House. In Hie new Congress, I,aFollette's strength will be so impaired that be will not he able to use it to real ad . vantage. Even since the election he . had not taken an active part in legislative affairs. His groups in both i houses likewise were less in the foreground. f Gives Causes Os Fires In The Rural Districts —— .... : 'UNITED PRESS SERVICE') i Indianapolis, March I—Lightening, 1 explosives, defective Dues, shingle ■ roofs and incendiarism 'arc the great, i.est causes of fire in the rural-districts L| which suffered 37 per cent of the fire
