From the number of holdups and robberies reported from Fort Wayne and vicinity, it looks as though the bandits were imaking a vigorous effort to do their Christmas shopping early. Tlte cold wave again dodged around this section, for which many people will feel grateful and a little peeved at the weather man for frightening them. If it is to take ten years to complete the Mississippi flood cure what will become Os a lot of folks in the meantime? Look? like it would be better to issue ten year bonds and do the work as rapidly as possible. T If Henry Ford is looking for a newspaper writer to accept the gift of one of his new cars he can find one in every state in the Union though they probably can't chew gum and throw the rope like Willie Rogers who seems to be the favorite. - J What has become of Clyde Walb and his resignation? Haven't heard a word about it now for a couple of weeks and in the meantime he hs showing up the political game, especially among those who would like to put their feet under the governor's table. The Good Fellow dub needs some support if they are to give the poor boys and girls a real Christmas this year. So far the fund has not reached the hundred imark and it should be three times that within the next ten days. Drop in a dollar or two. While reports of prosperity continue to come from Washington a.r! 1 other eastern points the middle west does not seem to be so blessed. Chicago and Detroit still show more unemployment than for years and predict that Chiistmastide there will not be so happy as usual. The Klepper family is one hundred per cent for the Good Fellow's club and each member from W. A. to Bob, ten in all, has subscribed a dollar to the fund to be used to buy gifts and clothing and food for the poor boys and girls at Christmas time. Who will be the next to make such a record ? Oklahoma is to have the excitement of another impeachment trial, five charges having been preferred against Governor Henry Johnston. Up here in Indiana we don't monkey arouild witli impeachments, we just indict 'em. Saves «o much time and trouble for the legislators. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh has received so imauy honors here and abroad that he perhaps scarcely appreciates the fact that most folks would be glad just to have one of them. Last week he was awarded the congressional medal of honor amidst a great ovation and now he proposes to 11 y his “Spirit of St. Louis" to Mexico City just to show the folks he can do it. Some Lindy, that boy. Indiaaia paid over thirty-six (pillion dollars in taxes to the federal government and this is just an average of the forty-eight states. No wonder they can spend it almost any way they want, to down there and still show a surplus. If wo could keep that in the

The correction will cost some,'thing over ten million dollars and by the way the problem is also one for almost every city in the middle west to solve, as was pointed out the other , evening by Colonel Gallagher who addressed the Decatur Industrial Asso1 ciation. 0 !*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* I* BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ilt¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ X J i MONDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Hookup 8:30 pm.

SAYS NAVY AIR FORCE I NEEDS MORE FUNDS Washington, —(United Press) The need for increased funds in carrying out the navy's so-ealled-t'lve-year air building program, more airplane carriers and larger air reserve forces, was stressed in the annual report of the navy’s bureau of aeronautics. The bureau renewed its recommendations for conversion of at least one and preferably two, additional vessels into aircraft tenders, pointing out that the need for such ships "is still most acute." While the navy made “striking ad- L vances" in aviation during the past sis- j cal year, the report said, “our greatest, need is for continued opportunity to • devote undivided attention to aeronautic development." The report pointed out the poslhtlities for using seaplanes commercially because of the large number of lakes rivers and bays, thereby eliminating the necessity for construction of expensive land airports. Progress in training naval air reserves, the bureau feels, has not been as rapid as is believed necessary. “The necessity for training large numbers of reserve naval aviators,” the bureau said, "is apparent. This should go forward in accordance with a well laid down plan, and this in turn requires suitable material. The fiveME TIE COUGH OR COLO W HAN6S ON Persistent coughs and colds lead tn serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Crcomulsion is a new melical discovery with two-fold action; it socihcs and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Crcomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks •’>e growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and if. excellent for building up the system after col Is or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.)
