Plana are under way to observe the anniversary of this great American and founder of the Democratic parly ' £ and the meetings to be held over the state, at the suggestion of state chairman It. Earl Peters will do much to rovive interest in the tilings which ( . Jefferson and his party did and do stand for. Tonight at mid-night the Indiana legislature adjourns sine die. The session, although marked by a few heated discussions over several hills, holds the record for holding down the number of hills passed. However, the' impeachment proceedings against 1 Judge Dearth, of Munch', gave ’ha 1 session a nee angle of buniuess, which 1 has not come up since 1835. The sen- ' ate will try Judge Death on March 21 s and the session will be remembered * for tills reason more than anything * else. If they don’t pass a bunch of 1 joker Dills in the final hours, the ree- 1 ord will not be so bad. . ... I The Decatur Yellow Jackets wouj l the high school sectional basket hall ( tourney Saturday night in a game I battle with the Berne Fighting Five. <- The Berne team led in the early ' stages of the game, while the Yellow j t - Jackets rallied after the first half and i piled up a lead which they held to s the last. There is much interest in i basketball and throughout the state i more than 700 high schools played in the sectional contests. The winners ! will play next Saturday in the region- ’ al meets and the winners of these contests will then compete for the ■ state championship at Indianapolis. With Iloosiers, basketball is a spring tonic and if every tournament was as enjoyable as the one held here Satur :< day everyone who saw the games is feeling happy, qo matter if their favorite team was defeated, for it has been truthfully said that only one team can win. Sentenced to 21 years in the penitentiary for robbery, the other day, the young prisoner broke down and sobbed: "It’s not wortli it! It’s not worth it! If only 1 hud it to do over again, it would L»e different. But it's too lata now. "I didn't need Urn money, cither,' tliat I got in those stick-ups. I thought it was smart to be a robber.” It is not smart to be a robber, . whether the culprit needs the money

or not. Nearly all of them find that out soouer or later—usually too late to do much good. Thu average bandit, even in this golden age of banditry, makes less out of it than he would make out of uu honest Job, and usuully saves nothing at all. Moreover, the criminal, working furtively, with organized society ugalnst him and many avenues of pleasure uud happiness closed to him, having fear in his heart and probably a guilty conscience to bouL, with all bis leisure certainly hasn't so good a timn as tile honest worker. Half a dozen babies in Chicago die because a bottle of boric acid was mistaken for a Dottle of distilled water. The boric solution, iuteuded for their eyes, was fed to them to relieve their tbirsl. Mild as it was. it killed the infants. There is no use in bringing up such a heart-breaking tragediy except to point a lesson that may prevent other tragedies of the kind. It is not likely that such a mistake would have been made, even in the confusion of caring lor many patients with shifting nurses, if both • bottles bad been clearly labeled. To the credit of hospitals it must be said that such mistakes are rare with them. It is usually in the comparatively small medicine cabinets and • the simple exigencies of private homes that one bottle is mistaken for another and poison is swallowed instead of something helpful or harmless. Be sure that every bottle or other container on the medicine shelves is clearly marked, and that nothing is put into a container where it does not belong. Tills is merely a part of orderly housekeeping, but may mean life or death. Last week when Mr. J. L. Anguish, scout executive, of Fort Wayne, visited in this city and talked before a joint meeting of the Rotary and Lions clubs, he contmefided Bryce Thomas, local scoutmaster for his line work and the interest lie had instilled among the boys in scout work. Scout work is something which every person can and should support. The ethics and creed of the scouts leach them only the uoble and best things in life, the scout oath being: "On my honor l will do my best: •‘To do my duty to God. and my country, and to obey the Scout law; “To help other people at all times; "To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” The scout law teaches the boys to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly: eoai'U kind, obedient, clieur fui, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. With such a standard fur the boys it should he a pleasure for every grownup to support the s<?but movement and encourage those lu charge of the troops to further success. Plans have been worked out to organize a hoy scout area council, under which expert scout supervision would be given over local troops and the work carried on a more systematic and effective basis. The plan, although a little elaborate for cities of this size, is worth considering, for when you help the boy you are helping Hie community by making better citizens. Results could be obtained by organizing more local troops and by the right men volunteering for scout work. o +♦*♦+*++*♦♦****♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES + ♦ OF RADIO ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦+♦+♦♦♦♦ TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF-M lookup, 20 stations. 8 pm. , Southern program featuring Irvin Cobb, humorist and novelist.

In view of these changes, George N. Mannfeld, fish and game division superintendent, today pointed out that it is best for those who fish and hunt to familarize themselves with the new provisions, designed to better protect wild and aquatic life during propagation seasons and which, its authors believe, will go far toward perpetuating and increasing I tiie supply. In a report to Richard Lieber, director of the department, I Mr. Mannfeld analyzed these charges as follows: Making Indiana game laws confirm to the federal regulation relative to migratory birds, excepting tile bag limit on ducks will be 15 and on ;geese 6 per day. Requiring persons who fish in the Ohio river, Wabash river and Lake Michigan to keep their gshiug tgckje within one mile of tlieae waters; also requiring private pond owners to have a written permit to keep a seine or trap for use in Uieir ponds; said devices U> be kept on the premises where pond is located. It will lie lawful to take suckers, carp, dogfish and gar with a pitchfork without barbs, and the young of these species may be taken for bait with a minnow seine or minnow trap.

The term sale includes serving the same as part of a meal. Boarding houses, restaurants and hotels may prepare and sei“ve fisli caught by guests or boarders to them and their families. The price of the resident license to be SI.OO as now, but to include hunting, fishing and trapping. AU such licenses to expire on December 31 of each year instead of a year from date of issue. The non-resident fish-; ing license raised to $2.30, and to ex- j pire December 31 of the calendar year. The non-resident hunters license to cost $15.50 as how, and to carry the privilege of hunting, fishing arid trapping; same also to expire December 31 of the calendar year. Persons may fish in their own counties without license, and children under 18 will not 1)': required to have a license to fish, whether they reside in the state or not. The section allowing the wives of men wlfo have a license to fish free lias been repealed. Residents of the state who own lands, but do not live on them may hunt, fish or trap on Uieir own land ‘without a license. The word resident is defined to mean a person who has .lived in this state at least six months or more.

The minimum fine established for ’violations of any of the above sec tions is SIO.OO. “WHITE COLLARS” IS REAL LAUGH HIT. Conversion of a millionaire to tin theory that he should give ids money away to be divided among the poor is the central theme of “White Collars,” comedy drama offering of the Wright ’Players at the Majestic theatre, Fort Wayne, tills week. With its homely philosophy and its intimate dealings with family life, "White Collars" is among the best productions of Hie Wright Players in Fort Wayne. by Anne Nichols, authoress and pr )- it was first produced ill New York ducer of "Abie's Irish Rose.” The New York run of “White Collars" lias just been completed and the Fort Wayne presentation is the first in stock throughout the country. "White C’olhys” offers the problem of file great middle class and its struggle for the better things of life. Yet it is in no sense a problem play but deals with the comedy elements of the situation when a millionaire weds his secretary and attempts to become a member of her family. iie mvc-C! n'-oddirt.g fieoUie vp’vj father, hei struggling mother and h“i flapper sister.
