Chicago is planning for a World's I Fair in 1933 and a committee of; twenty millionaires to underwrite it I has been named. It is to be hoped i they do a better job of it than rhila-1 dolphin did with their sesqui-ccntenial. 1 The Hoover campaign fund Is growing apace as the investigation goes' on. One peculiar tiling about the evidence in many of these cases is that the first evidence omits several i items which are admitted when they I are called to their attention. We boast much that there are some , twenty million motor cars in America and we soli loud and long and fre-. quently that the horse has passed off the picture. 'Taint so. by a jugful. The latest census shows there are 16,279,000 horses in this country and , what's more the uorse is holding its own in numbers and rapidly improv-1 ing as to quality. *. mu i ——W The biggest attraction we can have sou Old Home Week is the return of, three thousand people who once lived ; in Adams county. In the 1912 event I there were more than twenty-five hun-; died registered. Send in the names i of your friends or relatives, former! Adams county or Decatur citizens so we can get the first notice off to them in plenty of time so they can arrange to spend their vacation here the week of September 10th to 15th. The time is near when some plans . for the parking of cars in Decatur on ' Saturday night will liave to be made. A survey last Saturday evening disclosed that every down town street was lined and on Second street much of (lie time, cars were parked double on each side. Os course that’s dangerous and only by the most careful driving can accidents be avoided. We are not blaming any body but we do call attention to the fact that the conditions are growing worse and will continue to do so unless something is , done to relieve the eonjestion. Mayor Slack, of Indianapolis, has . vetoed the daylight savings ordinance as passed by the council of that ; city anil in doing so sets out several! reasons, first that it is illegal, second that it inconveniences perhaps as! many or more than it benefits, thihi it is confusing since so many com- j munities do not use it and the farm-: ers especially. .The worst part about ! the “doggone” thing, as we see it, is the fact that no difference what, we do, sonic will and hojuc won’t, so we are sure to lie all mixed up over it. W? hope the next legislature makes it state-wide one way or the other. The democrats of the eighth con gressional district will meet Tuesday ( afternoon at Portland for the election of a district chairman. Virgil Simmons. of Bluffton, who has served the past two years and is recognized as one of the leaders of the stale committee is a candidate to succeed himself. He should be and probably will be qhoseu without opposition. The state committee will meet Friday at Indianapolis to reorganize. R. Earl

I Peters who has proven an able leader | : the past two years Is a candidate. Whether or not he will have opposition is not known as there will be a ! number of changes in the state com- . ■ mittoe. I While indications are that Frank C.! ' Dailey will have little if any oppo-1 i sition when the democratic convon-1 I tlon convenes, there is a real tight on ! .in the republican ranks. Several of the leaders iu the recent primary are | | trying out and three or four others } are'being considered. Just now the! I contest aceins to be between Sehortc-: • ineicr and Landis, who held the lead iin the primary. Besides the scrap I ' which naturally arises in such a cam-1 paigu there enters in to this one all the animosity of the. Watson-Hoover; battle and don't let them kid you into ! : bciieveing that was a friendly con-' test. It was not and it will require j several campaigns to wear off the| I determination of men on each side to ■ 'get even. 1 '' i The klan is in the saddle iu Marion I -county. In the recent republican primary, Halph E. Updike, present con ! gressman and the man who the grand : i jury declared had an agreement to I I let D. C. Stephenson control the j patronage of the office, was renominated. Saturday when the eommitttees 1 reorganized at Indianapolis, George V. Coffin, friend of Jackson and one of I I those indicted for conspiracy to bribe | Governor McCray, was made district ■ ! chairman while Omer Hawkins, pres-1 ! ent sheriff, old side kick of "the old Iman” and who was criticized for permitting a delay of about forty-eight hours in the arrest of Stephenson and ■his gang, was made county chairman. If that is not ramming it down the I ; necks of the Marlon county voters. | sufficiently to make them vote a straight democratic ticket, then there j is absolutely no hope, it's a real ] issue this year and citizens who believe in decency in government should not hesitate. o I «*¥¥*¥<*>*¥¥¥»* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ;«^* ¥ *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥U MONDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1928. by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout.

I CANCER TREATMENT PROGRESS IS NOTED laindon. — (U.R) — Substantial progress in the endless war waged by science against cancer was described in a post graduate lecture at the University of Leeds, by Dr. (I. E. Gask. director of the surgical unit at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Loudon, who declared that radium treatment has cured a eonsideri,.bl number of undoubtedly malignant tumors. The tumors were observed to disappear after exposure to rays of radium. Dr. Gask stated. Reports from various research centers showed that : iu a majority of cases in which hemorrhage was present, it disappeared after irradiation, though in some cases it returned later. Success Percentage High Out of 69 cases iu which tumor formation was noted, it was found to have disappeared completely in 6U cases afteg- exposure to radium rays. | In a series of ulcerative cases, the ! ulceration disappeared either tempor- | arily or permanently in 62 out of 92 treatments. In another series of treatments to 13 patients, nine showed very good results. Their tumors disi appeared and they remained in good I health. Present research in radium treatment for cancer is being carried out by the Medical Research Council, to which the government, after the war, gave the stock of radium bromide collected for military purposes. "The results aic good enough to justify the treatment of more patients in the same manner," Dr. Gask said in speaking of the Council's work, “and to choose patients who are not in an advance stage of th< v disease and who would be in a general sense fit subjects for a surgical operation." o 1 Mt. Vernon —(U.R) — Richard Crunk Mans township farmer celebrated his | eighteenth birthday by breaking a western coit to plowing.

SCIENCE HOPES TO FIND WAY TO CHECK LEPROSY By international News Service San Francisco. — (INS) The dread speclHele of islamls of living dead,’ on which lepers live their lives in exile may be banished if the tentative findings of Dr. E. L. Walker, professor of tropical medicine in the University of California Medical school prove true. Returning from 14 months’ stay in Honolulu where he carried on investigations of the cause of leprosy, Dr. Walker stated that his research Indicated *llll- disease may not be con tagious and that it may not be necessary to isolate victims if further work substantiates his theories. ' Scientists have suspected for some time tliat bacteria called 'actim-myces' might be involved in leprosy," Dr. Walker stated today, "but it has be<’ii difficult to obtain labratory evidence of the theory. Cannot Use Anima's "This is because the bacteria appear in a different form when cultured iu a laboratory. And it is impossible to produce exactly the environment, as is found in living human tissue. "It is impossible to use animals for experimentation for only man is susceptible to the disease." Dr. Walker examined hundreds of lepers at Kalilii Hospital, Honolulu, a receiving station for those destined for incarceration at Molokai leper colony. "In these examinations I found tiial the bacteria 'actinomyces' always appeared in leprous tissue. The bacletia is classified as a plant, fungus ami is a soil-growing orgauusm like that causing tetanus or lockjaw. Working on this assumption I discovered that the bacteria is present in tlic practically everywhere in Hawaii. In Barefoot Nations “What is morfc natural assume then, since leprosy quite frequently ap pears around the feet or legs, that it might easily be picked up in cuts or wounds. It is well known that leprosy

Is most prevalent in countries where natives run barefoot. The disease, though entering the feet, may not first break out there. It may enter the body, spread through the glands and break out simultaneously In several places after a lengthy Incubation period "It must be emphasized, however, that all this is tentative, aud must wait further corroboration.” The district in which leprosy is most common are well known. In East Belgian Congo, 200 out of 1,000 persons have it. On the Ivory Coast of Africa 60 out of 1,000 have it. By investigating in these places with the soil origin of infection iu piiud. hy adoption of shoes and disinfection of wounds, positive evidence of the truth of his finding may be obtained, Dr. Walker said. o Save a Dime on your hair cut every day except Saturday.
