Most of them were crossing collisions. The one important rule in safe motoring is "stop, look and listen.” Along with your other cleaning up at this season of the year, you are ' urged tiwsee that tile ashes anil cind- 1 ers are hauled away and especially from the alleys. These will not be moved by the city forces anil you should see to it yourself before the clean-up work starts on thp 20th. The voters in Ohio. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are voting today in primaries and the results will be followed by those interested every where. Hoover managers are making ! clnims for victory in Ohio anil Massa-1 chusetts but the Mellon crowd will i dominate the Keystone state. We listened in on some fellow at I Cincinnati who was denouncing Hoover over the radio last evening. We don't know who he was but who ever he was he seemed in earnest and if half what he said of the secretary of commerce is true, he should not anil will not be elected president of the Tnited States. The Civic section of the Woman's Club urges the cooperation of the people of Decatur that the Clean-Vp Week here shall be a complete success. Its times to wash our faces. During the winter we get all smeared up with soot and dirt anii rubbish and its time to erase these marks. We agree with them — lets all work together for a Decatur that will attract favorable attention of visitors. How about building a new home or repairing the old one this year? There never was a better time and perhaps never will be. Quite a number are planning improvements this year and there is nothing better for a community. Decatur has few vacant houses and there is an excellent demand which makes the investment safe and wise. A straw vote for president taken at Terra Haute resulted in the democratic candidates receiving 342 votes while the republicans got 182. There seems to be something-in the air and a lot of people aye going to get badly fooled this year if they think the people are not ready for a change of administration. We know that straw votes are not exactly dependable but its almost uncanny how they often spell actual results. Though acquitted of conspiracy to defraud the government In the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve lease, Harry Sinclair does not seem to be

out of trouble. Forty hours afterward I he was iignln summoned before the senate investigating committee where tin* whole thing seems to have a fresh start with some additional evidence. The way of the transgressor [is hard these days and seems to lie getting harder alt the time, Clyde Walb, former republican state chairman and well-known contractor is on trial with Valentine Weaver before Judge Slick In the federal court at Fort Wayne, charged with having violated the national banking laws in connection with the failure of the First National hank of latgrange last October. Much interest Is manifested in the outcome because of the prominence of the men anil the wide publicity given the failure because of the connection therewith of a state political lciftler. Three Decatur men are serving as members of the jury. After live years of faithful anil splendid service as pastor of the First Christian church of Decatur, Rev. Harry W. Thompson has resigned liecause of a nervous breakdown and upon advice of ills physicians. Prior to coming to Decatur Rev. Thompson spent five years as pastor of Die church at Ligonier, establishing hpth in Decatur anil lifgonier a reputation as a pastor, a civic worker and a man among men. His many friends here hope he will soon recover his health anil will succeed in what ever he derides to undertake, as they believe he will. President Coolidge has sent word to congress that he is tired of fool-

ing around with the hunch in congress who insist on putting through a bill that is not to his liking regard ing flood relief. They seem to have postponed action so long tHat a lot of real estate men have slipped in and gathered tip some of the properties and stand to make a lot of real “jack." To prevent this and to punish the men who have thus invested tlie relief will lie vetoed. There never was any intention by some of the leaders to give actual relief to either the flood victims or the farmers of this country. The present administration is not made up that way and you may as well understand it. ************** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * s***********s TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WJZ —, WEAF—Combined networks, 11 pm.
