"Despondent man hangs self with his underclothes,'' says a headline. That's one thing that will probably not happen soon to despondent women. The list of week-end tragedies grows as the season advances. Over last week-end there were twenty-five fatalities and a thousand near ones in Indiana. The usual causes, drownings and ritomobile accidents furnished most of the news flashes. We would have more faith in the new tariff bill if it wr being incubated in tile open instead of behind closed doors. When that happens you may be sure that the big fellows are taken in secretly and that the schedules as decided upon are "okay” with them.

The Minnesota, an airplane trying for the endurance record at Minneapolis, crashed in its 155th hour and the pilot was killed. It Iras reached a foolish stage when not much good can come from it but we presume they will keep right on as they have with their efforts to fly across the ocean. The new subdivision will make room for a couple of hundred houses and six or eight hundred more people. Thats fine and we hope that part of the city is soon covered with attractive cottages. A city in which people own their homes is always the best one to reside in or invest in. Jimmy Walker, mayor of New York, is a candidate for re-election and the Peculiar thing is that the leading democratic papei there is opposing hyn while the republican papers and leaders feel friendly towards hijn. He is clever and a wise man with a wonderful personality and its otfr guess that he will win in a walk. The heat wave hangs on with just a breath of cool air occasionally, but don’t complain. Take it easy and remember that crops in this section thrive under a reasonable amount of wjrm sun lays. This has been a very comfortable summer excepting for the pdst few days and we have a hunch it*won’t last long.

.They are planning banks in the that will loan poor men money with which to buy storks. Step carefully. Remember that a few ypars ago they handed out the same line on farm buying but those who bought on time with too large a mortgage soon got into difficulties. Save your money and pay cash as you go whether buying teal estate, stocks or what nots. The Huntington Press and the Huntington Herald have combined and that city will become a one newspaper field, the merger becoming effective Thursday of this week, it is announced. The paper will be in charge of Walter Ball of the Herald and will include an evening editioh and a bulldog issue. The papers contested each other strongly for a number of years jMh Ormsby,, owner of the Press .iiaii been forced to spend the past several years in the west because of the ill health of a son, finally deciding to dispose of his paper. If that means that Homer is to divorce Indiana. we are very sorry, for he is a real fellow and a newspaper man of ability. ■

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Decatur, 111, —(UP)—Mayor O. W. Smith of this city has just refunded to the city treasury one cent paid him in excess of the salary he earned last year. A married woman who works outside of her home is a “working woman," with a definite occupation, and must not be omitted as such from the next censu| records merely because she may happen to be temporarily out of a job. That is what. Mary Anderson, chief of the woman’s bureau of the Department of Labor, thinks about it, anyway. And she is very positive. Outside employment for married women is not for mere “pin money,’’ she insists. Married women work for money, just as married men do, because they need it. “The married woman's earnings go into the family budget.” This is usually the case, no doubt. It must be recognized, even though the structure of the family, as an institution, makes a wife’s job a little- different from her husband's. Economic equality is coming on.

One of the greatest lawsuits in American history has opened in Chicago in which six states will seek to compel Chicago to quit helping itself to so much of latke Michigan’s water. Through its big drainage canal Chicago has for years been diverting millions of gallons of water daily from the lake into the Mississippi river to carry away its sewage. Charles E. Hughes, former secretary of state, is serving as master of chancery in the case. Newton Baker, former secretary of war, is one of 200 lawyers hired in the case. The collection of expert evidence by both sides lifts been going on for years, but all unexpectedly Mother Nature has taken a hand in the case herself this spring on the side of Chicago. The Great Lakes have been higher so far in 1929 than for many years, and had not Chicago’s drainage canal acted as a safety valve, great flood damage would have occurred. Mother Nature is too smart even for the smartest of lawy-ers.—Mid-West Review.
