LOCALS # Dr. J. Gtenu Nephene of this city, and Dr. Goiuum McKean, oi Geneva, left yesterday for Indianapolis where they will attend the annual coin ention of Indiana dentists at the Claypool hotel. lira Neptune and McKean will return Tuesday. Mrs. John 8. I eterson, who has been contined to her bed for the past several days suffering with a severe case rtf the flu, is slowly improving. Mr. ami Mrs. Fred King and daughter, Kathryn, weie the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lewis at Venedocia, Ohio over the week-end. Mr. Gerald P. Swope, president of the General Electric company and one of Uie great men of American industry visited here this afternoon. He was accompanied by Manager Goll and Mr. Matson of the Fort Wayne plant. Mr. Swope is spending several days in this section, inspecting their plants. He is pleased with the progtes in Decatur and praised the work of those In charge of the local branch of the G. E.‘ Leo Ehinger, in charge of the vacant lots on Second street, said this afternoon that steps were being taken to have them cleaned and put into condition for the summer. —o —. Native American Muskrats are purely North American animals. Their long scaly tails, flattened vertically, act as rudders when the stocky animals are in the water, says Nature Magazine. There Is little danger of extermination at present, though their fur has been extensively used under various trade names. The average length is 21 inches, weight two pounds. o Give Plants a Rest After a house plant has bloomed well for some time, it needs a rest. Put It in a dark, cool dry place and decrease the amount of watering, says Nature Magazine. Soon it will put forth new green shoots, after which it should be watered thoroughly again, repotted, and brought back to the sunlight. After it has started to grow again, a little fertilizer will help. Oldest American Line The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is the oldest In America. Its first rail was laid July 4, 182.8, by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last survivor of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It can thus claim the distinction of being the oldest American railroad, although the I»elaware & Hudson is an older company. Familiar Optical Illusion Make a small hole in a card, and hold it four or five incites away from your face, toward the sky. Hold a pin-head against the lashes and gaze through the hole. Then you will see, to your surprise, that the pin is inverted. Still more interesting is the fact that if you made several holes you will see inverted image of the pin in each.

Life and Bus'.iess There is no glory so bright but the veil of business can hide it effectually. With most men life is postponed to some trivial business, and so therefore is heaven. Men think foolishly they may abuse and misspend life as they please and when they get to tieaven turn over a new leaf.— Thoreau -* o Old City Still Thrives Joppa, or Jaffa, as It is now usually termed, is still an important town, tlie terminus of the Jaffa and Jerusalem railway, as of yore the terminus of tlie ancient trade highway from its harbor to the Far East. It has a population variously estimated at from 10,000 to 30,000, of which well ovqr 5.000 are Christians. 0 . Wild Oats There has been considerable dispute as to when is the best season to sow wild oats. To our ntind it Is not so much n question of when as how. And perhaps it isn’t so much a question of how as of where. When I all is said and done, no doubt, it re‘mains a question of why. There’s always an answer to tlie why, but It generally comes too late to be more than an explanation. o The Days of Chivalry Tlie days of chivalry are not gone, notwithstanding Burke’s grand dirge over them ; they still live in that far- ' off worship paid by many a youth and man to tlie woman of whom he never dreams that he shall touch so much ns her little finger or the hem of her robe. —George Eliot 0 The Modernist Bible A lot of people in the land talk about wanting the good old Bible of their fathers. Most of them ne\er rend it. For 14 books of the Bible —the Apocrypha—have been out of the , Bible for 100 years, despite the fact that the curse Is on anyone who takes away “one jot or one tittle" from the Bible. —Emporia Gazette. Immune to Torture A writer of popular sones is said tn be deaf. It seems a very unfair advantage. —London Opinion.

NEW TAIL LIGHT LAW CONFUSING Daily Democrat Receives Many Inquiries Regarding New Law A confusion in the new- tail light law has caused many calls to be received at the Daily Democrat office the lust few days asking for an explanation of the new law. which provides that all vehicles on public highways have either ft rear light o: a reflector. The new law made by the recent legislature requires that all vehicles display either a rear light or a reflector. The word "vehicle" is explained in the law to mean all conveyances other than motor vehicles, trucks and motorcycles. The low now in effect provides for a rear light on automobiles, but it is not construed to mean that automobiles parked in the city must have a rear light. A city ordinance usually governs the display of rear lights on vehicles parked on city streets, but the custom in this city has been to not display the rear light when the vehicle is parked, provided the vehicle is parked in accordance with the parking laws. As soon as the laws passed by the

Tt Is the religion of thinking one's highest and doing one’s best.
