It will probably take a lot of words for the ex-governor has had much experience in writing messages asid one thing and another. A woman up in Chicago was tying her husband's necktie for him the other day and while she had the opportunity just kept on pulling until he finally turned purple, straightened out and dibd. The moral is that men should learn to tie their own. Babe Huth got married again yesterday, his new bride being a former Ziegfield Follies girl. The king of swatters is usually in the lime light at tills time of year over some kin I of a contract and his millions of admirers are hoping this one will be as successful as have others. The senate committee has decided without a vote that Secretary Mellon ha‘s the right.to serve as secretary of the treasury, even though he was not renominated by President Hoover. We presume he has or at least as long as it is satisfactory with the president and the senate, the public may like it or not. as they please. Chicago police finally ran the "Tore wolf to cover and then discovered ♦ he was a ten-year-old lad. He had on a pair of rubber glu.us and was right at work -opening a safe. I’robablv some older head, not far away, but they didn't get him. Ten-year-old boys don't usually know that trade without some special instructions and directions. Town Talk was a little slim the past day or two hut we are still work ing at it and hope every reader will assist us hi keeping it up. We have been told, not by a few, but by hun dreds that it is an extraordinary feature and that they appreciate it. W« know it is and we want it to continue. It will be easier if you will help us a little when you think of it. “Jack" Gaither, one of the bandits recently sentenced to prison for twenty years from here, caught the sympathy of many by his tale of reform and the announcement that he was engaged io a firn- girl in Fort Wayne. Nov comes Miss Evelyn Bell who claims to hade been his "sweetie" and she pleads guilty to selling liquor and was given a four months suspended sentence. So thats that. Now they are feasting •Gene Howe, fiery editor of the Amarillo, Texas, newspaper. In cause he criticized Colonel Lindbergh and Mary Garden, which is silly, lie probably did it to gttract attention or boost his circulation and much of what he said would I have been just as good unsaid. As ■ between Howe and Lindbergh we would still say the man wiio braved the Atlantic ocean is still more popular ami of greater help to his country than tiie editor of many adjectives. - Deciding the daylight saving time proposition would do two things if presented to the voters at the com-

It would let the coun- » 1 J ell know what a majority of the people desire and it would serve to arouse } ) more interest in what otherwise may > )be a rather- dull election. If the ’ council so desires they can place the proposed change in effect by ordinance with the understanding that it will be repealed if the city so votes. i as was done in Fort Wayne last year. After all its a matter that the people effected have a right to vote upon, it would seem. The United States Chamber of Com merce offers an annual prize for the best showing in prevention of fire waste in cities of the United,States. Municipalities are graded according to population, prizes being given to winners in several classes and a grand prize to the city making the best record without regard to size. Detroit captured the honor among cities over 500,000 and also the grand prize. While the number of fires increased 13 per cent in the country, there was substantial reduction in per capita loss, the figure being $2.35 in 1928, as compared with $2.70 in 1927. with $3.07 in 1926 and with $3.77 in 1925. This shows steady improvement in lowering the amount «>f property destruction by fire. Where much work is yet to be done is shown in the statement that of fires reported 66.7 per cent occurred in dwellings. Tabulation and analysis of these statistics are helpful to every city in fighting fire waste. We are too much accustomed to look upon fires as an unavoidable visitation, though the fact is repeatedly emphasized that negligence of one or another kind is responsible for an enormou percentage irf them. Faulty building, neglect of flues, furnaces and electric wiring, dirt and refuse, carelessness with matches and cigarette stubs are accountable for by far the largest proportion of the millions of dollars that go up in smoke. The evil deserves much more attention than it receives —Baltimore Sun.
