Tomorrow is the 197th birthday anniversary of George Washington, “Father of his Country" aud a man among men. Put out the flags. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel takes exception to an article Secretary of Lakor Jimmy Davis wrote for an Irish paper, in which he stated that 86 per cent of the Americans are poor. Well, it s nice to be one of the 14 per cent. According to an article in the New York Tinies. Florida does not have anything on the climate in the Empire state. Last Sunday the temperature mounted to 49 degrees above and thousands of treople were seen at the beaches, at Coney Island and in Central Park, all taking advantage of the unusual balmy weather. The department of labor has announced that the cost of food is coming down, there being a drop of threefourths of one per cent during the month of January. They must have some expert on the job when he can get it down that close and it the fact had not been mentioned no one would have noticed it. Don’t be fooled by a pretty girl.

The other day an attractive young lady walked into a filling station and asked the attendant if he would assist her gentleman friend push his car to the station, it being stalled down the road and out of gas. Os course the request was complied with. When the car arrived in flout of the filling station, the young lady jumped in and eway tiny went. The filling station attendant looked puzzled, walked inside and then found that the girl had emptied the cash register. Senator Charles Curtis, vice-presi-dent-elect, will resign from the senate on March 3 and assume his new office the next day. He has been serving in the senate since congress convened last December and when he becomes vice-president will more than likely do another unusual thing, naming a young lady as his secretary. Miss Lola Williams of Kansas, who has setved as his secretary for several years, may be the first lady to fill such un important position and from her pictures appears to be unusually attractive and capable of looking after the duties of the vice-presi-dent of the United States. The city council has filed the petition with the pul lie service commission to lower the light, power and cooking rates of the City Light and Power plant. This is a splendid thing to do. As :i result of good, careful anil busines ,-like management the city plant has been operating at u profit and in turn the council wishes to turn back part of the earnings to the put ions in the form of reduced rales. Our rates are not high to begin with and the reductions, which will more than likely be granted by ihe commission, will give Decatur one of fire lowest iignl and power rates in the state. The legislative proposal to raise money by levying a tax on cigars and cigarettes might be listed among those things that are better In theory than in fact, ft might boa solution of the state’s financial problems it it

Those who have investigated conditions in Georgia, Arkansas. Utah, South Carolina and Tennessee, where the tax plan has been tried, says it has failed to produce the expected revenue and, what is worse, has driven three-fourths of the retail tobacco business out of the state. The proposal, in form similar to that now before the Indiana legislature, has been rejected by thirty-one states at different times. The difficulty in the way of getting a large return front the sale of tobacco is the inability of the state to impose a tax on interstate commerce. If the cost of cigars and cigarettes bought at home is made burdensome, the smokers promptly resort to the mail-order houses in Chicago aud other cities for their supply. The result is that all the tobacco business done in the state is that of providing for the temporary needs of those who have not taken the time or trouble to get a supply from elsewhere. The further effect of such a law may be to build up a bootlegging business in tobacco in Indiana. The net outcome is that business is crippled and the state treasury is not greatly benefited. —Indianapolis Star. The weather is always a popular subject for discussion. On a cold morning, like Wednesday, everyone asks “how cold was it" and about as many different answers are obtained. Local thermometers varied from one to twenty degrees. Erie L. Hardy, U. 8. meterologist at Fort Wayne, gives the following reasons for the variance in the readings: H “It is not easy to determine the temperature of air because a thermometer does not indicate the temperature of the surrounding medium, but the temperature of its own bulb. A

thermometer exposed in the open air does not give the real air temperature, even if it is an accurate, standard instrument. During a clear, cold, frosty night, such as last night, the thermometer may indicate a temperature from 1 to 7 degrees below the real temperature of the air, because of the radiating effect that takes place upon the instrument. Also, when a thermometer contains frost on the bulb the evaporation that is taking place absorbs heat from the thermometer and cools it below the temperature of the air. “The great variation in temperature readings, taken from unofficial thermometers over the city, and ranging from 4 above zero to 14 below zero, was probably due to one or a combination of the following facts: "That due to the character of the night and the general atmospheric conditions the temperature of the air on top of the Trl-State building was a few degrees higher than the temperature of the air close to the ground. “That many of the unofficial readings were taken from cheap thermometers that did not give the correct temperature. “There, were several degrees difference between the high and low sections of thd city, due to the fact that there was no wind to mix the air."
