The news columns contain many surprises these days, not the least of those recently noted being that Captain C.eorge Fried, hero of the liner America has a hobby—he collects postage stamps. Whatever we may think of Colonel Robert W. Stewart, recently deposed by the Rockefelers as president of the Standard Oil company, we mus 1 admit, that he is big enough to take defeat and smile at it and thats usually a pretty good test of a man. Decatur basketball fans traveled from Fort Wayne to Chicago, 150 miles, in au airplane yesterday in an hour and a half or a little more. A few' years ago that would have been unbelievable but in these days we are not surprised and in the years to come this speed will seem slow we presume. Governor Leslie has signed a bill which places a one per cent, limit of indebtedness on counties for road building purposes and the Shelbyville Republican commenting upon the law says “babies will be old i>eop!e before all the roads are paved that the people want paved and think should be paved.” The prosecutor of Noble county went to the home of a bootlegger and bought a pint of liquor, then caused the arrest and conviction c i the illicit dealer, which is one way to clean 'em up but what if the bootlegger turns around and has the prosecutor arrested? Under a strict interpretation of the law how would the prosecutor stay out of trouble? It begins to look like the zero hour for our old friend John I). Williams, who lias been the head of the state highway commission for seven years. He has been asked to resign by the governor and definite action is to be taken by the board next week it is said. Mr. Williams has not been perfect in the job, nor will any one else be for it is a job of large proportions but he lias been honest and faithful and has made a good start on building roads in Indiana and paying for them as he went. His successor will have something in the way of a record to shoot at. As has been stated, President Hoover has three secretaries, whereas former presidents have hud but one. First it was claimed these added men would be at the president's right hand, taking notations and pushing big business to the limit, but here comes a note in the papers telling of one of them scouting tlie eastern shore of Maryland and parts of Virginia looking for a fishing hole so the president can hook one or t wo on off afternoons. Probably the other secretary is on' looking for a few old logs, under which he can gather in some worms. — Bluff ton Banner. We watched a crowd of boys skating on the streets last evening and saw several of them grab on to cars and go sailing away down the avenue, apparently having great sport. It no doubt is. but few of the lads realize the danger they are in. Equally as dangerous is the practise of the boyb and girls on their roller skates, dodging in and out betweeu cars. The streets are for vehicles and are dang-

erous as play grounds. Skating on 1 ' the sidewalks la likewise more or less a nuisance hut as long as the youngsters are courteous and a little careful we are sure no one will object to • their use for play. Its rather hard t to work out tills annual spring problem and the officials should have the assistance of parents and of the children, I The slory of little Billy Newhart of i , Bellalre, 0.. is the sort of thing that 1 restores one's faith in humanity. Billy, I i you remember, Is the lad whose hones . 1 are so brittle that he's all the time fracturing them. He has spent eight of his 12 years In bed; about his only diversion Is reading postcards that friends send him. The newspapers recently printed a little story about j him. What happened? Newspaper i readers all over the country, took the 1 ( trouble to write him. To date he has received approximately 40.000 letters, and enough toys to last him a lifetime. There are, after all, a lot of I : kiudiy people in the world. And, best of all, Billy isn't spoiled by It. He ( won't pose for pictures because, he' | says, “folks would think I was trying I to get some more gifts.” He is behaving himself under somewhat try- ] ing circumstances as well as Lindbergh did. —-Wabash Plain Dealer. Indiana now has a whole page of new laws, not a page of the law’s in full, but that much of the mere titles of the laws. Hardly any phase of activity was left untouched by the legislature, and yet there was little demand for any changes in the laws. In fact, not all the laws already on the statute books were being obeyed in the letter or spirit. The laws of most general interest affect the taxpayers. as the budget was the largest in all history of the state; the tightening up of the criminal laws; the licensing of motor vehicle drivers; the codification of the corporation J laws; increasing the inheritance tax exemption; the amendments to the primary law and the failure of the registration law to be signed by the governor; and the placing around the j granting of permits to carry revolvers ' greater restrictions, and providing for their revocation. There was not much done which will change the life of the average citizen except that he will have to hump himself to help pay that $55,000,000 in the next two years, and he will want to know that the money is well spent. — Noblesville Ledger. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it possible to place guests too far apart while dining? A. Yes, for one cannot be chatty when his partner is far away. Q. if one's name (is wrong should one correct the pronunciation? A. Yes, if it leads to confusion, but do so iu a friendly manner, never resentfully. Q. What is the proper dress for a man attending the opera, or au even ing wedding? A. Full dress is required. - Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Burns Large surface burns are frequentlytreated with equal parts of sweet oil and lime water.
