Start tomorrow. Senator Robinson dodged the vote on the motion that Smith be barred from the senate while Senator Watson voted for him. We have a higher regard for the fellow who has the nerve to vote for a man like Smith 1 than we have for the one who hides, 1 haven’t you? i Be a Good Fellow and help those who are trying to show the poor boys ' l and girls that the only hole in their stocking on Christmas eve is at the top. The campaign is not moving ns rapidly as the ladies of the Delta Theta Tail would like to see it but ’ its moving and thats something. I Christmas clubs saved over a half , billion dollars in this country this year, the best proof that its a splendid thing and the fact that the savings are more than a hundred million larger this year than last shows that the American people are learning to save. Thats a fine habit. Chicago scientist have discovered ■ that it doesn’t take freezing temperature long to get through chiffon stockings and that when it does the results are anything but pleasant. In other words the young ladies" can freeze their legs just as easily as the ; , old-fashioned girl used to freeze their f ears. j ■ _________ Tom Marshall, one of the best gov- '• eruors Indiana ever had, operated the state with but three boards and com- ' missions. Now there are nearly a hundred of one kind or another, each t costing you something either in direct or indirect taxes and from what we ■ know of affairs, improvement is not noticeable. • -- - -—_ — - ' Decatur stores were never more attractive than they are right now. Showings of fresh, beautiful holidaymerchandise are on display and the merchants have everything in readiness to make your Christmas shopping a pleasure instead of a burden. Start today and avoid that last minute rush which is always disappointing andl tiresome. Varc follows Siuitli to tbn temporary discards which is fair enough since neither of them tits the picture. Men who aspire to be United States senators should realize it is the worlds greatest law making body and 1 that only those who fit for the job deserve it. Now we hope the governors, if and when called upon to fill the vacancies will take notice of the fact that the senate will keep itself as clean as possible. That was a great old basketball game last night, won by the “breaks” in the last five minutes. It would have thrilled anybody anywhere and was fast enough for the “cow barns.” j If the locals wiU take the advice of an old timer who has followed sports' for thirty-five or forty years, they will continue to train carefully, keep good hours, work a little harder and keep up their determination to “take” Cen-

I teal if they meet them again on the ' way to the state finals. You can do it boys. Now that. President Coolidge has ■ definitely informed the republican * national committee that he is not a candidate and has whispered to the ' reporters that he expects to become a gentleman farmer, Luke Duffey should , renew his offer on his Pulaski county i farm. Recently he sent the president 1 1 word that since he couldn’t make tho J i farm go under the present administration he would gladly deed it over i | if the .mortgage was assumed. I For the twentieth consecutive year Christmas seals are now being offer-j ed for sale to the public as a means of raiisng the needed funds for the prosecution of the nation-wide campaign against tuberculosis. That the money thus given is not thrown away' is convincingly shown by the fact that since the inauguration of the movement under the National Tuberculosis Association the death rate from this disease has decreased more than fifty per cent. The seals help to support hundreds of sanatoriums. and preventoriums and have provided' nurses for the care of patients in their own homes. It is expected that one billion and a half of the seals will be sold this year, and the campaign to market them has enlisted the cooperation of more than 1,400 local associations, are sending out more than 5,000,000 letters to prospective purchasers. The seals cost only a cent apiece, but they are gradually winning the battle against what was once the most dreaded and deadly of diseases. 0 *¥¥*¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * If ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ « ’ • 1 SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES!, WEAF — Hookup «:20 pm.

The car was operated by the Chicago, South Bend and Northern Indiana .railway company. R. R. Smith applied to the commission for permission to |abandon the line, alleging that it lost more than 32,000 a year. Smith told J the commission more than half that deficit was occasioned by accident to , i the car. I The commission ordered the company to maintain regular service.

AIRPLANES GET .1 CREDIT FOR AID IN FLOOD AREA ' Give Valued Assistance In New England During Recent Inundation I By Internationa] News Service, j Boston. Dec. 10.—Aviation as a unit .of valued assistance in flood areas was proven in the recent Inundation lof northern New England when communication with the outside world | was temporarily cut off. | The work of aviators in the flood area, and the condition which they found, served to accentuate both the . value of aviation in this service and the necessity for more airports in New England. I “The flood brought into sharp re- ' lief the desirability of more airports and flying fields throughout New England," Summer Sewall of the Colonial Air Transport company is reported to have said. His statement is backed by Captain C. W. Ford ,air officer of the first corps area, who discussed the .difficulties experienced by army , fliers in landing. Fliers Took Chances 1 “Our fliers had to take chances of ‘tracking up' in order to land with supplies,” he said. "The first army plane to land at Montpelier had to be sent with only the pilot, so that he could shift his weight to the rear of the ship upon landing to prevent the pane's nosing over in the muddy Held.” “Hail there been prepared landing fields,” he continued, “the big transport planes, capable of carrying as much in one load as the lighter ships couhf carry in thirty or forty trips, could have rushed supplies in large quantities to many stricken towns. As it was. materials had to be dropped by parachute in these places." Airplanes. l>oth army ami civilian, were the first to Ifting assistance to the stricken area. At the same time that an army plane flew from Concord to Montpelier to survey the situation. a civilian plijne from Boston reached Montpelier with two newspaper men who returned with reports of the true extent of the damage and loss of life, which, in some places, was greatly exaggerated. Food Transported Yeast and other foodstuffs, in addition to mail, were transported to the flood district by air despite prevailing adverse weather conditions. The flood flying program was divided between the army, the New York National Guard, and the Boston Airport Corporation: three national guard planes from New York penetrating/ as far south as Manchester where Pilot Paul D. Meyers landed with .mail. » O T Political Lineup Is Closest Since 1919 Washington.
