It looks like a good thing and a little boosting would put it over. s Captain Lindbergh is a regular fel- ' low and a long ways from being a ‘flyin - fool” or any other kind. He has refused all the offers from vaudeville and moving picture men and is not trying to cash in on his recent exploit. No wonder every body likes • him. Warsaw had a $25,000 storm Monday and other . ities suffered large losses. Th. present hot weather with storm clouds tilling the sky most of the time are datigi rous. These white edged clouds with dark centers may take a notion to dip down any place and at any time.

An Indianapolis man. Harvey Alyea, thinks this talk about America being ’ the land of the free, a big joke. He got mad at his wife the other day and • went to the attic where he threw ti * rope over a rafter and made an effort ■ to hang himself. Mrs. Alyea telephoned the police who arrested him and took him to jail. Harve insists a man ought to have the right to ' hang himself if he wants to and we expect his wife just about agrees with him. "Upon whom rests the responsibility?” asks a business writer, referring to the Mississippi floods. "To whom can the nation turn for sure and certain prevention of other such catastrophes in the future? The ans- ? w-r is, ‘the federal government’.' Quite so. The Mississippi is a nation al river, bisecting the country and drawing waters from two-thirds of out continental area. It drains many

states, and (lows through many slabs P and has flooded several. No sta t alone can cope with its local floor problem. No group of stales can per form the task effectively.

Do they make-use of their book ) learning and the special bran lies 1 taught in such a school? With the 1. i'aid of some of his assistants he set 1 out to discover the whereabouts and , present occultations of the 268 boys and girls who graduated last June. His findings are interesting and rather gratifying. Eighteen boys had studied machine design. Twelve of them are now working as draftsmen, three are apprentice!! and two are in college. Twenty-two pupils studied chemistry; 13 of them are now working in chemical laboratoires, two are employed in pharmacies, four are studying chemical engineering in college. Os the three who learned how to operate moving picture machines, two are working in theaters. All ,’f the four who had a course in "trade music" are now playing in bands or or hestras, but only one of the four who took printing is in that trade. Os 12 who had architectural drawing, five are working as'architectural draftsmen and three are in allied occupations. «■ + + + + + + * <♦*♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ > Twenty Years Ago Thi» Day. ♦ ♦ + + ++ + + ♦♦ + + + ♦♦ + ♦ May 25 Willshire will hold a wet and dry election Monday, and both sides are claiming a victory.
