( HELP THE BOY SCOUTS:— Next week a canvass will be made In Decatur to raise funds, necessary 1 to carry on the activities of the Decatur Boy Scouts. It is a worthy ' cause and the few hundred dollars 1 required should be easily raised. 1 Headed by Martin F. Worthman. 1 superintendent of city schools, the ' local organizations are supervised by 1 •Decatur's leading citizens, all of ' whom have the interest and welfare ’ lit the boys at heart. Through the 1 %cout organizations, the boys are 1 taught the manly qualities of citizen- 1 ship, fine manhood, respect and rev- ' «rence for the Maker, the building of 1 diealthy bodies and the doing of pub- 1 lie service. No finer training can be ! given to a boy than affiliation with ’ the Boy Scouts. Everything that is • good is embodied in the principles of the organization. For several years the local troops have been affiliated 1 with the Area council and the scoutmasters and scouts have been receiving the benefit of the trained leaders in this work. To carry on this work, to give the boys every advantage they might obtain from this membership, funds are necessary to provide them. As Scout training not only helps the individual member, but the community as well, in that it helps to build better manhood for tomorrow, public spirited citizens should willingly subscribe to the fund. Let it not be said that you are not interested in the boys A tew dollars will prove that you are. The new officers of the Decatur Industrial Association have been elected and plans for promoting the welfare of the community have been discussed at the first preliminary meeting of the new board. Dick Heller, for three years a member of the board, is the new president of the association. With the assistance of Eno Lankenau, superintendent of the Decatur works of the General Electric company, as vice-president; William Linn, local clothier, secretary, and A. R. Ashbaucher, furnace merchant, treasurer, the new president will endeavor to, “create interest in the organization’s activities and at the same time work • for the interest of all. The officers and directors of the association want „to serve Decatur and community and • are open to suggestions. It is plan'ued to hold regular monthly meetings "on the first Thursday of every month and to conduct open forums among • the members, with the idea of obtain- • ing opinions from those who wish to - help make Decatur a better place for • the manufacturer, retail merchant, I the laboring man or employe and for ’.all in general. Several propositions 'relative to securing new industries ‘and assisting the two score or more •splendid plants we already have are ■'under consideration and the co-oper-ation of the citizens in general will .be appreciated by the new officers and directors. The government can woll use the services of Uo!

TODAY’S CHUCKLE London—(U.R>--Sign in Bormondsey church' "Will friends and relatives be so good as to reserve , their discussion of the bride’s dress and the bridegroom's character until after the ceremony." the undoing of the great progress aviation has shown since his memorable flight less than two years ago.

I Following Thomas Edison's unique ‘ interview last week and his statement ( “that he did not believe anyone was I happy," Henry Ford, companion of ‘ the famous inventor, talked with the , newspaper men and made the state- 1 ment that he believed Edison was an ’ example of happiness. Ford stated , that “ambition and hard work were t uecessary for happiness" and further ( stated that the man who loved his : work was the one who was really * happy. Os course after you have j made a million or two you can retire i it you wish. Edison and Ford are 1 fine examples of American ingenuity and even though they have arrived at the fop of the ladder, they are devoting their time to their business and trying to help someone. The grand stand has been erected in front of -the capital building in 1 I Washington and everything is ready for the inauguration of President : i Hoover. The line of march, headed ■ by Mr. Hoover and President Coolidge will be one of the longest ever seen in the national capital and will no doubt be impressive and in keeping with the occasion. We may have our political differences, but when it comes to installing a president the country as a whole wishes to show him the honor due and unite in wishing him success and health during his term of office. Well men are you up on the styles. The women arc buying fine silk “undies” for the gentlemen and in colors of rose, pink, violet and lavender and believe us or not, sales show that they are becoming popular. Good night to the old B. V. D. With these new "teddies," go garters and suspenders to match, so If you want to be one of the hall room boys, make your next suit pink er violet color. With the election of Dick Heller as president, Cal E. Peterson, retires as president of the Decatur Industrial Association. Mr. Peterson has served two years as bead ot the local organization, has given of his time and energy in looking after Its affairs and in promoting the community's welfare. He retires from office with the grateful appreciation of the members. If your boy is old enough have him join one of the Boy Scout troops and thus obtain the advantage of the fine training offered by the organization. Decatur has three troops, the Rotary, Legion and St. Joe troops, supervised by competent Scoutmasters and your boy will enjoy the hikes, camping expeditious and programs given for them throughout the year. The primary law will not be changed and the capital punishment law will stand, two things accomplished yesterday by the Indiana legislature. Why huve both? That one point lead at the close of the Decatur-Bluffton basketball game should serve us a good tonic for the Wells county boys. —o-. ——, — Mrs Tipton Bud's brother is visitin' bur, an’ when she asked him if he wuz glttin’ homseslck, ho said: "No. not exactly, 'cept I do miss my sou arguin' with me."

TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL BEGUN U YEARS AGO Parte Os Undertaking May Still Be In Fair Condition London, Feb. 23—(U.R)-High interest is being shown all over Great Britain at the possibility of a-channel tunnel between Dover and Calais. It is recalled by residents of Dover (Kent) that it is 44 years ago this month that work was begun both in France and England on a tunnel, and many are of the opinion that parts of It may still be in tolerably good condition. One of the workmen who helped dig the tunnel in 1885 showed a correspondent the 'entrance at the foot of the Shakespeare cliff Dover, altout two miles outside the town of Dover. Descending some hundreds of feet by a series of uneven steps cut in the chalky face of the cliff you arrive at light railload belonging to a disused coal mine near by where can be plainly seen a slight depression in the soft soil beneath the railway sleepers That is the tunnel and underneath are the foundations of the old enginehome where the air was pumped into the excavators. The tunnel shaft was filled in when the coal mine was optiued. but the actual tunnel was left untouched. It was only a pilot tunnel to explore the strata and by the time about a mile and a half had been completed it was decided to carry on with the scheme At the Dover end, the shaft is abr.nt 150 f set deep and descends very gradually. It was lined with cast iron segments. similar to the London subways and ma/ possibly still be quite dry. ——• o—— MODERN ETIQUETTE i By ’ ROBERTA LEE i ■ Q.

Official reports state that, contrary to all expectations, the act has not caused a big increase in divorces A lawyer, however, expressed conflicting views of the semi-secrecy of reports enforced by the act "There is only one opinion among those leading lawyers whose business is to deal with matrimonial causes and that is that the act, in its presen' form, is having a mischievous effect," he said. "In die first place, it lias introduced an element of secrecy in the trial of divorce suits, which is quite opposed to the old principle of the open administration of law.
