Can you imagine any worse punishment for Mr. Coolidge than to be gabbing about insurance and passing out calendars? Leaders in congress, it is uow reported are puzzling over farm relief, ' in which they have nothing on thirty million farmers who have been puzzl- • ed almost to a state of hunger for several years. I Employment conditions in the Unit- ■ ed States are said to be better now than a year ago with gains in automobile industries, machinery, hardware and a few others but with slight * losses in the clothing, leather, lumber and cement business. Don’t forget you have au engagement for Monday night. You are needed at the Industrial banquet. These are meetings for the good of the community and the directors and officers need and desire your cooperation. Being governor of a state seems to be anything but a cinch these days. Oklahoma fired Johnston. Louisiana is after long and now they are attempting to oust Governor Kohler of Wisconsin. We are afraid to brag about Indiana. With between four and five thousand acres of beets contracted, it would be just too bad to lose out now and have the big factory here closed the next season. Thats about half enough to make it worth operating and we hope that every one who has a chance will plant beets or try to get some one he knows to do so. Ed Fogarty has decided to remain in charge of the Chicago it having been decided there to give him full charge as to whom he will employ to aid him in that job. In the meantime those who were fearful he would return to Indiana to have charge of the reformatory may rest easy but just the same this state has lost an opportunity to secure the services of one of the best wardens in America. It has finally happened — Colonel Lindbergh has told the reporters that his movements are none of the public's business. We wonder why he didn’t say it long ago. Os course now since he is engaged and is flying back and forth to Mexico where there are a lot of good news stories you can't blame the reporters much for trying to get a tip from him but at that a ’ fellow hates to tell just where he is going each time he steps out with his ' best girl. ‘ Governor Leslie has started a move- ■ meat to oust Jim Jackson, superin- > tendent of the Home for Feeble Mind-, , ed Youth at Fort Wayne and brother ' of the ex-governor, another matter in which many will hope for speedy success. The governor has named John Kitch of Plymouth as a member of the board of trustees with the understanding it is reported that he will aid in the proceedings. He will make another appointment within the month and then it will probably be time for Jackson to hunt for a job. A newspaper man who rented au automobile for au afternoon found a curious fact. The auto renting business, like most other businesses, is

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Salem. Mann.. —(UP)— For injuries received when she slipped on a pork chop and tumbled down stairs, Mrs. Ella Reynolds was awarded S4OO damages by a jury in court here. successful becaue of public trustworthiness. A properly identified person is allowed to drive away with a hig priced car. The renter Is quite sure his car will come back. Most of them do, and the few losses that occur through the dishonesty of an occasional person are taken care of by insurance. So the newspaper man had no trouble getting a car. He used it, returned it and tried to pay his bill with a check. He had no luck. There was a rigid rule against checks. Why? Because In the past too many people who had returned the borrowed cars safe and sound had paid the charge with bad checks. Human nature has puzzling features. American real estate, the statisticians say, has been dull for some time compared with other branches of business. Its dullness has been emphasized this year by the diversion of credit so largely to stock speculation, and away from land investment. There is one form of the real estate game, though, that appears to be flourishing. There is a boom in cemeteries. Detroit is a notable example. A reporter finds eight different cemetery projects under development there, some of them running into millions of dollars. In one of those mortuary allotments the cheapest lot will cost its jwospective occupant $2,800. If the luxurious mortal wants a postmortem flat, which is to say a “state room in the mausoleum.” he will pay SSu,OOO for it. Other cities showsimilar booms, with people buying cemetery lots for speculation. Cau you beat it? o DECATUR H. S. NOTES —by— ROBERT HELLER A school party has been definitely scheduled for next Friday. The seniors will be the guests of the lower classmen. The party will be on the same order of the one given the freshmen last fall. The class guardians and officers have appointed committees to do the decorating, prepare the refreshments, and make all other arrangements. Part of the program will be announced next week, but most of it will be a surprise. Another party, one for the glee clubs, has been arranged. The tentative date on the Wednesday of commencement week has been set. Committees have also been appointed. The country club has been selected, and it is likely that au orchestra will be present. While Miss Florine Michaud, instructor of Latin, was absent during the first of the week on account of the illness of her father, Mrs. Veda Christ taught her classes. The band, baseball team, and track team have been practicing for several weeks at the third period in the afternoon. A number of the track distance men have run out to Trout's farm on the Monroe road daily to get endurance for the South Side invitational meet today and the North Side dual meet Tuesday. The Friday chapel program was postponed until Monday because the speaker was unable to come at the tlsual time. Friday completed the second six weeks of the last semester. Many teachers gave tests covering the work just ended. • TWENTY YEARS AGO • • From the Dolly Democrat File • • Twenty Yeare Ago Today • April 13—Decatur is dry.

POINCARE LEADS A BUSY LIFE ’THO APPROACHING 70 French Premier Has Almost Unparalleled Energy And Intellect By Richard Devern McMillan (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Apr. 13—(UP)—Vigor comes with old age if one can take Premier Raymond Poincare as a model. On the threshhold of his 70th birthday, when the cares of past and present national and International political worries should be weighing him down, he recently surprised even his admirers by speaking for three days, thundering at his opponents in the Chamber of Deputies with the fire and fervor of a two-year-old. A speech such as this-it dealt with the Government’s attitude to the Home Rule agitation in Alsace—would occupy probably 30 news paper columns or between twenty and thirty thousand words. Yet when the printers of the Official Journal came to set up the MS, they found every word had been written by the Prime Minister in his own handwriting. Not only had Poincare penned every line: he had memorized the speech from first word to last; and from the time he arose in the tribune of the Chamber on the first day until the concluding sentences three days later he hardly glanced at the pages before him. Enigma of Energy Recognized even by his bitterest opponents of the Lett as one of the great men of the age, Raymond Poincare is at the same time an enigma of energy and intellect to all, even those who know him best. Most other men would have taken special training for au oratorical effort such as this, but Poincare carried on as usual, rising at six o’clock each morning, helping to run his home, then leaving for a hard day s work at the Ministry of Finance of which he is he head. There, every since he saved France by stabilizing the franc more than two years ago. he has had enough daily personal duties to occupy half a dozen working overtime. Since he first became a Minister of the French Government thirty odd years ago after he gave up his legal work in Paris, Poincare has had a troubled, though glorious career, with progiessive political storm leaving no impression upon him, except to maXt him more reserved and retiring. Anintense fighter in the political ringas he revealed again and again during the recent debates on the return of the rligious missions and the question of deaths of French troops in the Army of Occupation on the Rhine—he ir also a home man and likes nothing better than to assist his wife in ordering the dailly round in his picturesque house on the Rue Marbeau. Runs Household Thus, of an early morning, this re markable man who has been about half a dozen times Premier and once President of the Republic, who has saved his country more than once from the brink of what seemed disaster can be seen busily marking notes on small slips of paper. On one slip are orders for the maid who does the shopping, on another directions to the cook, a third is a list for his chauffeour. And, having written out a menu fr dinner for example the strong man of France turns back to his job of running the country. Political opponents are for ever predicting that Poincare "has not got long to run now.” But they have been saying that for years. He suffers defeat, but he comes back again, because the whitebearded old veteran runs his country as he runs his home on system, which is not always an attribute of a Latin character. At the present moment he is menaced once again on the internal religious question. In such crises he is at his best; in such crises he is ready to go to the tribune and begin another three days' speech, pounding the desk, glaring at his enemies, his little white beard bristling defiance all around his entranced audience. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Medicine If those who find it difficult to take medicine will put a bit of alum in lhe mouth for a moment before taking the medicine, it can then be taken as easily as water.

YALE DEBATES NECESSITY OF CHAPEL CALLS Question Os Compulsory Attendance, Once Settled, Breaks Out Again By Boyd Lewis (United Press Staff Correspondent) New Haven. Conn.. Apr 13—(UP)— Spring is here and the thoughts of col-! lege undergraduates the country over are turning lightly to love, bright neckties and moonlight, but the young gentlemen of Yale are tn the throes of a controversy over optional religious exercises. To be sure, a few of the less ser-ious-minded have reacted to the sea son and painted the historic Berkley lions blue. But the body of the university, which yearly rolls up huge majorities In favor of scholastic attainment rather than athletics, and prefers business to less serious pursuits, is ardently concerned in whether it is more religious for a thousand students to go to chapel because they have to, or a scant score to attend because they wish 10. It all started when William Lyon Phelps, noted English savant and or ’ dained parson, joined with Dean Luther A. Weigle of the Divinity School in the Yale Daily News in advocating a return to compulsory chapel. Compulsory chapel was abandoned three years ago after a storm of protest from students. Dr, Coffin's Views Then the Rev. Dr. Henry Sloan Coffin of New York, a member of tlie Yale University Corporation, joined the l>attle with a statement that optional chapel attendance was a failure. He hinted that cuitailment of the Friday-to-Monday week-ends now enjoyed by many who are able to run down to the fashionable Long Island resorts for diversion might be a factor in opposition. Dr. Coffin called attention to Yale's charter obligation to "propagate the Christian Religion.” The clergyman's views, printed in the Yale News, precipitated more debate that the university had seen since the political campaign last fall. The “Student Communications” column of the student dally was filled with protests hy those prolific correspondents, “Mr. 1932” and "Mr. 1929”. Viewers Run Riot Professors granted interviews. Pro : feasor Phelps applauded the Coffin' manifesto while Prof George H. Nettle-1 ton who is chairman of the Board of; Athletic Control, let it be known h<> 1 feit voluntasy chapel attendance had! cleared the air. “The alien elements of indifference and antagonism have disappeared,” Nettleton declared. “The old eonipul-CHICHESTERS-PILLS V THE BRAND. .
