Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat this month. The time is near when we will check up our subscription lists and we are hopiug that we will not have to drop a single name. You will want the paper during the year and we want to send it to you. Won't you arrange for it during the next two weeks? The coal strike begins to look serious and one sign that there may really be a tie-up is the fact that the largest manufacturing concerns are providing for it by buying their years supply now. If the strike does come, the sooner you fill your bins, the better you will be off and the more money you will probably save. Evidently the governing power of the republican party in Indiana does not intend to make a campaign in 1928 on economy. They will depend entirely on national issues and if the democrats are foolish enough to let them get away with it, may win as they have been for several years without deserving it. A special writer for the republican’ press is trying to impress the public that tile closing of a number of Indi-1 ana banks is a good thing on the basis that there are too many such institutions in the various counties. Well, now we wonder what the stockholders and depositors of these banks think about such propangda. Os course its done to prevent you from saying anything about the present administration which must not be blamed for any thing that happens because next year is election time. This is an important day for those who watch the weather and believe in signs. This is the end of the six weeks following groundhog day and the old fellow who came out that day and took one look at the skies, then crawled back for a late winter nap, is supposed to emerge today for keeps. He certainly did miss his guess this year for the six weeks have been almost made to order for this season in this section, but we suppose he is just like humans, must guess wrong occasionally. A California wizard is training his hens to lay their eggs in crates, the old-fashioned nest being relegated as too effeminate, says the Lafayette Courier. When he has devised a scheme to induce the hens to keep right on laying, at the rate of a crate per day, no doubt this wise cracker will have the erudite fowls equipped with registers and coached to “ring up" each bit of hen fruit as it is deposited in its appropriate compag.ment in the approved receptacle. The romantic age of the door-knob, the porcelain nest-egg, the nest of straw and the perambulant chicken louse seems to have had its heyday. From now on an egg in the crate will be worth two in the hand. Statisticians can show that in 95 per cent, of cases a cold is only an annoyance. But that word “only" is exasperating. Such annoyances as colds may often be more calamitous than something really serious. No doctor can deny that cold accompanied by sneezes, a red and raw nose and a sore throat produce more unhappiness and discomfort in the course of a year than any of the more malignant, but less endemic, contag-

ious and Infectious ailments of men. ’ Humanity's greatest need is a good, old-fashioned remedy, the bitterer the better, which can be taken before retiring with the absolute assurance of rising in the morning completely ’ cured. The man who evolves such a > cold cure will take his place at the head of the great benefactors of mankind. —Lebanon Reporter. Day light savings is up for the an--1 nual discussion and a petition has again been filed with the city council. The same thing is also before the authorities in Fort Wayne, Van Wert and other nearby cities. The greatest objection to its adoption is that its not general. Some cities will and some won’t, the railroads will not change their time tables, everything will be topsy turvy and it will be impossible to give a correct time for any events. If it is In other nearby cities it might be alright, but otherwise we are sure the public will find it a great nuisance. In Ohio the legislature is expected soon to change the entire state to eastern time, which would probably settle the question there, but would fix the state line as the point of travel to change your watch. If the modern novel is literature the old-fashioned dime Nick Carter was a gem. Recently we have read a half dozen of the new books and we wonder how they are permitted to be sent through the mails or how they are countenanced in homes or libraries. Silly plots, obscene and profane, filthy language unfit to repeat anywhere or any place, descriptions of "necking” and petting parties and a lot of rubbish in general, fill tlym. We presume it is old-fashioned to say that they should be discarded but surely no good can come from popularizing such stuff as this. When this nation approves taking the name of God in vain, appeals to sex and insinuates that adultery is form in good society, we warn you that the same fate that has come to every country which has so indulged awaits us. \\ e [hope there are still enough old-fash-ioned folks and enough sensible young folks to abolish the apparently growing fad of the vicious and modern sex novel. _o ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ + From the Daily Democrat File + ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. + ++♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦ March 16 —Twenty-eight lot pledges today.

(Vast Tbilisi THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW

In olden days, the world was prim, Precise, correct and neat and trim. Then, from the stories I have heard The children never spoke a word, But were occasionally seen In little garments, starched and clean They never sat, at tables then Beside the women and the men Or listened to their elders chat. Because they were too yohng for that. Fearful lest they should come to sin Wise parents kept the young shut In. They never were permitted out To learn what life is all about. The little ones, then it was thought. By proper persons should be taught. Perhaps it was not understood

SPRING STYLES Helts And No Collars Are Being Featured By Hedda Hoyt (IT. P. Fashion Editor) New York, Mar. 16. —(United Press) —ln looking over spring styles don't overlook the minor details which tend to mark the new gown from the old. Neck lines, i»r instance, are made without collars this season. Even the smarter sports models are made with V-shaped or square neck lines without collar attachments. Belts of all widths, are found on most of the newer frocks, suits and coats. On sports frocks, belts are extremely narrow while on dressy afternoon models they are of wide draped type. Dresses for sports occasions are utilizing monograms in various new manners this year. Oval cut-out monograms are perhaps the smartest type at present and they may be placed on the upper part of the loft sleeve, on the scarf, the tie ends or ou the blouse pocket. Skull caps, which have previously been seen only in felt or silk, are shown in recent millinery displays in soft straws. These little caps which outline the arch of the eyebrows and extend in tab effects over the ears are especially becoming to young faces. Youth this season, insists upon small untrimmed hats while matrons prefer more elaborate trimmed models. Bolero treatments still continue to be popular. While the bolero is best suited to dresses, it is also used on suits and coats. As you know, the bolero may be suggested at the rear of the gown only instead of all the way about. Shoulder corsages of self-material with frayed edges are still being used on afternoon and evening gowns. Miss Alice Brady appearing in her latest vehicle—‘Lady Alone’ wears a gown typical of the season's mode. It is made of rose-hued chiffon with collarless rounded neek line, huge shoulder corsage of matching rose chiffon, rear bolero, dropped sash and front skirt fullness. As to newer colors for afternoon or sportswear, it is thought that yellow and warm yellowish greens .will be quite as popular in America as they are in European resorts at present. 0 — “Beau Geste” Ends Fort Wayne Engagement Soon “Beau Geste.” now playing at the Shrine Auditorium, Fort Wayne, with daily matinees, will close the Fort Wayne -engagement Saturday, this week. "Beau Geste" is a spectacle of mammoth proportions, made by Herbert Brenon. for Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. La sky, from the very popular novel of the same name by Major Percival Christopher Wren. its cast would seem to be a Who’s Who ot aristocratic filmdom. since Mr. Brenon was given free rein in choosing players best adapted to portray the interesting characters in Major Wren's fascinating story. The title role is interpreted by none other than Ronald Colman. considered by many faithful fans to be the most promising successor to Rudolph Valentino. Other roles of importance are portrayed by Alice Joyce, Mary Brian, Noah Berry, Neil Hamilton. Ralph Forbes, Norman Trevor, William Powell, Victor McLaglan, Paul McAllister, and countless others. The environment of “Beau Geste" tilers an Immense field to Mr. Brecon’s art, and he has availed himself of it in splendid fashion. An accompanying orchestra scorj; has been composed for “Beau Geste" by Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld, aud will be played by a special traveling orchestra of twenty. 1 Ronald Colman, who plays the title role of “Bean Geste”, came to New York in 1920 and appeared in spoken I plays with Henry Miller, Ruth Chatj terton, Fay Bainter, and others. IBs , first screen appearance was in “The White Sister.” starring Lillian Gish. He also played in “Romola,” "Tarnish.” “A Thief in Paradise." “The Supreme Moment," "The Dark Angel. "Stella Dallas.” “Kiki,” and other sue-, cessful pictures. Itx

That even children cau be good. Yet I have heard despite this care Some old time children learned to swear. Despite this good old fashioned way Some model youngsters went astray. Though trained by methods most correct Some lives by sin were sadly wrecked. I choose to have my children near Where they can see and also hear. 1 much prefer the modern way Os letting youngsters have their say. I'll teach by love and not by fright And trust them both to do what's right. i

to divulge the names under consideration until a definite selection is made. The Huffman medical bill was one of the most hotly contested measures brought up before the legislature and after It had secured approval of both houses a strong but unsuccessful struggle was made to secure a veto by the governor. The bill creates an additional membership on the state board of medical registration and examination and requires the governor to make an appointment within sixty days after the measure takes effect in May. It stipulates that the appointee shall represent that branch of drugless healing having the largest number of practitioners in the state. After licensing and registration of the drugless healers the majority profession will be determined by registration rolls. In the absence of these, the governor must determine which branch now has the largest representation. o Zion Ev.
