Have you paid your subscription to the Daily Democrat? The time limit is about up. With the basketball season over and spring here Monday, its time to start things for the year. Get your coat off and get busy. If everybody will hustle a little, we can make things hum. News from Washington is that the present slow up of business is not nearly as severe as was expected. We wonder how’ they knew it was coining, what caused it and just when they propose calling it off, whatever it is. Whether you believe in woman’s suffrage or not in a general election, you should vote your choice for or against daylight saving in Decatur. Vote before eight o'clock Tuesday nutrning. Senator Watson thinks President Coolidge is out of it. for the nomination next year and that Lowden has the best chance. Os course if they coaxed Jim a little he might consent to throw his hat in the ring, but chances are Jhey won't. The first monthly dinner of the Decatur Industrial Association will be held Wednesday evening and will last only until 7:30. Every member and everyone interested in the community should arrange to be there and thus assist in progress. The committees will be named and a short snappy program given. Surely those who travel over the state highways which are macadam believe at this time or the year that hard surface roads are an improvement worth having and worth sacrificing a little for. We should get them when we can and not make it more difficult. During the past week several juvenile cases have been heard in court here and inquiries have come in as to the results. For the benefit of those who are interested it should be stated that the law is very strict on these matters and the record of that court is not public, preventing the publication of such matters. Because his wife who had left him to take in the sights of Chicago, has requested it, Walter Scholl who murdered his two children, will ask the court to send him to the electric chair. Evidently Mrs. Scholl don’t want to be pestered with a family and since Walter is so easy its possible that some one suggested he kill the babies. , As a loyal friend and supporter of our matchless Republican administration we know we're supposed not to laugh, but we often wish the story about the gallant fight our enlightened nation is making for the reduction of armaments and against the rule of force and the one about lauding 1,600 more marines in Nicaragua wouldn’t appear in adjoining columns on the first page.—Ohio State Journal. The telephone operators are aware that the two baskeball tournaments are in progress. Yesterday between twelve ami one o'clock, 1,870 calls went through the central office and of this number three-fourths were tor 1,000 —The Daily Democrat — asking

| results of the games. And that aver- ' age has continued now for two days, almost incessantly from early morning until late at night. "Once over” who writes a sports column for the Fort Wayne News- ' Sentinel predicted that the Tigers would lose their first game to Washington by eight points. Instead of 1 that they won by three. He must feel very much chagrined and we also 1 noice that he lost out on most of his other guesses in the first round of the , big show at the "cow barns." This fortune telling is not only extremely difficult, but sometimes embarrassing, e- =■ pjo-j.. Do you believe daylight saving time in Decatur would be a good thing or, an inconvenience? You have the chance to vote on it Up to Tuesday : morning at eight o’clock. The result does not mean that your wish or even that of the majority, whatever it should be, will establish that system, but if sufficient citizens take part in the election, it will show the community desire as to this question which bobs up each year. Use the ballot in the Daily Democrat and send in your vote. Holdups, robberies and even murder are frequent. A year ago Prosecuting Attorney Remey, of this county, made public some astonishing statistics along that line, compiled from the records of his office. Probably there never was a time when more persons from eighteen to twentyfive years old were in state penkl • institutions, both in Indiana and else- : where. In the last two years forty- < five out of every 100 convicted Individ- < uals sent to Sing Sing Prison in New 1 York were under twenty-five. Apparently a distinction should be drawn between juvenile delinquency, in its , usually accepted sense, and the num- I her of youths, on the verge of adulthood. who are guilty of desperate 1 violations of the law. — Indianapolis News. o — + ♦♦♦+<• + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO ♦ + ♦♦<- + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Hookup 19 stations 8:15 pin.

URGES FREEDOM B. Tarkington Offers Plan For Happy Marriages New York, Mar. 18.—(United Press) — Complete freedom, independence and self-determination in married lite are urged by Booth Tarkington a* a cure for the divorce evil, in,an article published today by The •American Magazine. Marriage is an increasing cause of human unhappiness, says tlie writer, who demands that the best brains of the race should be devoted to making it as little dangerous and hurtful as possible to the affected individuals. The rise in proportion of unhappy marriages in America may be roughly measured by the census statistics on divorces Tarkington point out. The annual number of divorces per 1,000 marriages was 35 in 1870, rising to SI in 1900 and 145 in 1924. The preportions of the divorce evil vary widely in different parts of the country. At the present time, the safest place to live, if one seeks a stable and lasting marriage, is apparently the national capital, for the District of Columbia has only 26 divorces a year per 100,000 of population. The nearest approach to this record is New York

state with 42. North California with 54, New Jersey with 58 and North Dakota with 59. The most unstable married life is found in western states. Nevada of course leading the list with 1,037 divorces a year and only 1,079 marmiages. Annual divorce figures per 100.000 of population in Nevada and its nearest rivals are: Nevada 1.340, Oregon. 353, Texas 306, Oklahoma 292 and California 288. The main trouble with modern marriage, Tarkington finds, is that it interferes too drastically with the freedom of the individual. “We cannot expect, during these present generations, to alter the institution of marriage itself.” he said gloomily, “and there is little prospect of changing the circumstances under which marriages are usually contracted. It appears tiiat we must accept these processes as established, necessary dangers to the individual, much as in the past we have accepted the Institution of war. However, it seems not unreasonable that we may discover greater alleviations for marriage than we ever did for war. "I am inclining to the opinion that freedom must be an element in happy marriages, and that intelligent and well-meaning people can make their marriages happy by Introducing it. “I do not mean that freedom of itsself creates happiness for people, married or unmarried. A man with a 'lively toothache is not happy, no matter how much liberty he has. All marriages having freedom will not be happy, but to have freedom is to have I the greatest chance of happiness in marriage, and marriage cannot be ’happy, lacking it, except with the pallid happiness of master and complacent sqrf. “A wise and gentle observer of life once said that marriage, like life, is a field of battle, not a bed of roses. So it is—for those who fight. Moreover, In marriage, the fighters first become intoxicated, embrace, and lovingly shackle themselves to each other. The combatants, like cats so engajfed. fight merely because they are [shackled to each other. Where the ’shackles are heavy there will be desperation. Dirt with freedom, marriage can no more be a field of battle than

it has to be a bondage.” Mr. Tarkington even extends his recommendation of “freedom” to include acquiescense in martial infidelities. The question was put to him as follows: “How about a wife whose husband is infatuated with another woman, or a husband who learns that his wife is in love with another man? Ought he to consent to such freedom?” "Yes,” says Mr. Tarkington. “That will be his nearest approach to happiness, if freedom is the great element. If he constrains her, she will still care as much as before for the other man. The husband has therefore gained nothing of her heart, and her heart is surely the important thing. By constraining her or tormenting her, he must lose whatever he already has of her heart; and by removing the essential element, freedom. he makes certain of the unhappiness of their marriage, winch may have been only doubtful before.” o SCIENTISTS TO HONOR NEWTON

London, Mar, 19—(United Press)— Scientists in all parts of the British Isles will honor tomorrow the 200th anniversary of the death of Sir Isaac Newton, the greatest of natural philosophers. During the past week all of the prominent British scientific magazines have called attention to the anniversary and several scientific institutions have planned special honors for Newton today. Newton died in his 85th year, after overtaxing his strength by presiding at a meeting of the Royal Society of March 2, 1727. He had been in rath-, ei poor health before the meeting but had ignored his physicians orders to preside at the meeting of the famous British scientific society which had honored him with membership. He never recovered from the strain of the meeting. | The Bishop of Birmingham will take part in special services at Grantham—the district where Newton was born on December 25, 1642. The pastor of the church at Woolsthrope, which Newton attended as a boy, will deliver two lectures on “Newton as a Theologian” and “The Royal Society and Newton.”. Newton entered Cambridge at the age of 19 and soon proved himself master of most of the important scientific works existing at that time. While on a visit home during his secend year at Cambridge, the fall of an apple in the garden of his home suggested to Newton the greatest of his discoveries —the law of universal gravitation. He abandoned his studies in gravitation, howYever, to study light and telescopes and was subsequently able to make several important changes in the telescope which enhanced its uses. The Royal Society honored him with membership for this work. Later Newton was appointed Master of the Mint, n position he held until his death. He served two terms in Parliament and received his knighthood from Queen Anne in 1703. Get the Habit—Trade at Home. It Pays

As a result he negotiated a ’ »un cf ' S4OO on the Cameron farm. The mort- ' gage came due and he had nothing i with which to pay it. The “gold mine almost slipped away for want of a sum which the wells are u-.w producing in a few hours.
