Some tiim in the dim and dusty], past, there may have been a finerL Fourth of July day than was yester-l day. hut if so, it was way back yonder! in that age to which the "mind of I, man runneth not to the contrary."

vantage of ii. Tlie celelira'ion of the Fourth hen was unusually quief and orderly. Nc special celebration had been planned ami tile day was observed with picnics, reunions, trips to lite lakes and by entertaining tlie children, The requests from the ministers and Mayor Krick for a quiet Sunday were complied with by every one and there was a lack of noise on the day before. We notice that many people are again becoming lax in their observation of the slop signs at the various corners and this is sure to result in a serious accident if continued. We watched one corner a few minutes last evening and saw three cars dash by without even slowing up. Ii will I probably be necessary to make arrests to let the drivers know that the] ordinance is alive and must be complied witli. Watch your corners. Indianapolis put on a real celebration of independence day, laying the] corner stone for a $13,000,000 World war memorial, tin Plaza and with General Pershing who had charge of our two million soldiers in France t<-n years ago, as the chief speaker and attraction. A nion.s'er parade was staged and a fitting program given for oio- of the most important occasions of the capitol city. Very few accidents were reported

' » x I'lniiivu in this coimiy for the week-end and the Fourth and we are proud of the record. Il pays to he careful for after all “ a finger is worth more than a fire cracker” and it doesn't after all make so nun h difference whether we reaih a given point in our car five minutes head of the time we would arrive by driving more carefully. Keep it up. Richard Grace, of Mana, Hawaii, started for San Francisco in an air-; plane, but when a few miles out discovered that something was wrong with his engine, so he turned around and went back, which was the right and proper thing to do for a continuation of the trip would have no doubt, resulted in a mid-ocean wreck and probably the loss of his life. Its a good game to play as safe as you can we would think. His plane was wrecked when tie landed. We pay for our holidays in this country and usually with a great toll of life. According to reports alreadybeing compiled and which ate of course far short of the actual total, more than a hundred people were killed yesterday while celebrating the Fourth in one day or another. A few

years ago reckless use of fireworks took even a greater number of lives. Now lite greatest number of deaths was caused by traffic accidents While the drowning list comes second. Reports from about thirty major cities I shows a list of one hundred killed, of I which sixty-two lost their lives ini I traffic accidents, twenty-seven were drowned and live were killed in ex I lilt isiull.'.

I piOSlUIln. Colonel McNutt and other state ofI ticials of the American Legion who I visited here Sunday were loud in I their praises of the reception, of the beautiful Country Club where the I meeting was held and of the organI ization made by Commander Graham and his assistants. They declared the I Adams post, capable of handling a I state Legion convention and will favor I them for tin 1929 meeting. Such an event would lie a very wonderful thing, lor the city, attracting thousands and make a real gala week. Needless 10l say the local boys will iiave the sup-1 port of every citizen for such an effort.l Many old-timers complain and la-1 nie.nt that the Fourth of July "ain't I what i: used to be." They are quite I right. The national anniversary has I changed in almost every aspect it]

I once had. The only thing about it I that is fixed in defiance of mutation e |ls its place on the calendar. Those o |who complain and lament are of the '*l age which is prone to look back. I That is tlie way of life. Old age re'U calls the past. Youth conjures the | future. Let there be no misgiving. 1 I This change does not denote any deI cay of patriotism, any decline of the 5 1 "spirit of ’76", any failing of reverence I for the wisdom of the fathers or the brave Continentals in their ragged I regimentals." It does not presage' I any weakening of tlie foundations J The people of tlie t’nited States have] 1 I the wit to make the best of their own I progress. The perpetuity of the reI public does not rest upon tlie way the I people celebrate the Fourth of July, lit does depend a good deal upon what I they do about their duties of citizen-1 I ship the whole year round, w hat they I Ido when November days call them to] tlie ballot boxes. —Fort Wayne Journ-I I al-Gazette.

Ethical Business Methods Hobby Os Arthur Sapp, New Rotary President

When Arthur Sapp of Huntington. Ind who was chosen president of Rotary international at the annual con- , vention of the organization, held as Ostend. Belgium, in Juno, isn’t in court trying u lawsuit, it is u fairly reasonable asumption that he is trying to convince some trade asssociation to adopt a code of ethical business practices. Mr. Sapp got into the

■ habit of inducing business men to stall- I dardize their practice and go on record a to what should and should not lie considered etldeal when hi was chairman of Rotary’s Business committee in 1924. He took tbe job seriously and, filling suit-case with facts and figures land hand-bag with clothing, started out in search of trade associations. He I found them in Mexico. Canada, and in I the United States. He traveled from

I coast to coast, for the privilege of apI pearing before a trade convention and I explaining his idea of ethical bus’liness methods. Before they heard him,l 'I many of the trade associations were I I willing to get along without even a J talk on business ethics, but before the lend of tlie year, half a hundred trade I bodies and professional associations I had adopted codes of standard pracI tice. '| He talked with lawyer, doctors, man- | ufaeturers, retailers, jobbers and ! wholesalers. As a result of his work , | and of his successor's in the chairman--11 ship of this committee, a majority of I the leading business ami professional I bodies have now standard codes of I ethical practice. •I As a result of the record he estabI lished as Chairman of the Business I Methods committee, Mr. Sapp was I named first vie'e president of Rotary I International at the Cleveland convonI tion in 1925 and the following year he I took over the chairmanship of the I Constitution and By-laws committee.

Paul, senior engineer in I the U. S. Bureau of Mines. 1 These accidents are distributed over 130 mining states and 6,000 coal and I 2.800 metal mines. "In most mines," Paul said, "the root immediately over the deposit of I coal or ore, is of such nature that it j is not self supporting except for a' brief period varying from an hour to I several days, whereas in other mines I the immediate roof material may fall as soon as the coal or ore is made loose by the method of mining," Non-Stop Dancer Sets 24-Hour Waltz Record Barcelona.

Wesleyan University. from which he * graduated with a degree of A. B. in .• 1907. i- In order to become it lawyer, Mr. e Sapp explains, it was nece-sary for

him to learn tree surgery and boarding house management.

After graduation from college, he taught Latin in the high school of Chattanooga, Tenn . and later engaged in educational work in Kansas City. Mo., and Huntington, Indiana. He obtained his legal educa-

tion from the L’niversity of Chicago Law School and at the Indiana Law School. He graduated from the latter I institution in 1912. He ha> practiced law in Huntingion ' since his graduation.

A Hoosier Hero In this day when heroes are - uinin into their own. Indiana has discovci ed within Its own border a Inro wh UP to this time has been unliouore and unsung. This man is John II Kissinger who lives in me quiet li village of Andrews, in Huniingto county, "a private in the ranks of th heroes of medicine ' A bulletin issued today by tlt<’ ’ 1,1 licity bureau of the Indiana State Mid ical Association tells of tiie sacritici that Kissinger made and how mucl his sacrifice has meant to humaniiy

"Were it not for Kissinger and sex oral other self-sacrificing individual' of ills type the civilized world toda.’ might still be harrassed by that dead ly contagious disease —the horror o the white men in the tropics yedov fever." says the Bulletin. "Kissinger, with Private John J Morau of the I’. S. Army, allowed him self to be infected by the yellow fevei mosquito in 1900. The < xperimen ■ then conducted by the Yellow Fever Commission headed by Major altei Reed led to the knowledge that ha made possible the almost complete eradication of this disease from tin surface of the earth. "The heroism involved in the offer of Kissinger was complete, for he was well aware of the dangers incurred when he offered himself for the experiment. As a result of the bite of a mosquito that had previously fed on a patient sick with yellow fever, the soldier was himself infected with tlie disease and narrowly escaped death during the resulting illnes- He

was mustered out of the army a year later and settled finally in South Bend , Indiana. In 19('7 h•• became seriously ill and in 1911 the government gavi- , him an annuity of $1,200.
