One policeman in Chicago was killed by another while they were in- . toxicated, an incident which fits well , with the reputation that city has made for herself the past few years. To . finish it now they should call on some ( of the gangsters to ai t as pall bearers. Tomorrow comes another special trade day for Decatur and the com- ( munity is most cordially invited to . participate. Join the crowd and have ( a good time while buying from the ( various stores in the best small city of the middle west. ( We have heard considerable about various things recently but little definite about that commission apI 1 pointed by the president to investigate prohibition. Are they working and where and what have they found out? Perhaps the hot weather has forced them to Canada or to some other re- • freshing spot. “ Plans and details for the diary- show al the coming street fair will be completed this eve ning but it is already " known that this will be one of the big features of the week of September . 10th to, nth and it is by the way one -of the important ones for dairying has come to be recognized as one of the most profitable departments of the farm. Russia and China arc sparring again after every body thought every tiling was fine and dandy. The world doesn't want a scrap and to prove it have been scrapping some of the warships, but of course if the “Chinks” and the “Reds” insist on fighting it out we suppose there will be nothing left for the other nat: ns to do but sit steady i in the boat unless it rocks too much. The tragic accident at the municipal swimming pool Sunday afternoon when little Billy Murtaugh met death by drowning, shocked the community as such occurances are bound to do. It should tend to make us all be as careful as we can all the time. This Is the first fatality since the pool opened and the sacrifice of this lads lite should make us all resolve to be even more watchful than In the past. Ice cream workers in Chicago went on a strike the other day and it is reported that there was a famine of that 'asty confection over the weekend. Those fellows will soon be wishing for b job at tljeir trade and ought not to lose any time at this season it would seem. Os course it they insist !iieri- are a thousand good ice cream factories within a radius of a couple of hundred miles of Chicago where fine grades of ice cream can be secured. Noyr it is about time to deplore the hi£h taies. The various bodies of government will be considering this important question within a very short while. As we have stated its so hard to spend money eleven months in the year and then expect the council and the boat’d of commissioners and the trustees to wipe out the debt by some hokus pokus method.

— TODAY’S CHUCKLE HONOLULU, Aug. Ik. —(UP.)--Mr. and Mrs. David Bonaparte Haumca, Hawaiian*, are the proud parent* of a 10i/ e pound baby boy —their 19th child. Haumca, a retired policeman, is 59 year* old. When friends congratulated him he promised to make it an even 20 next year. over, the budget makers should and will consider every possible method by which they can save and still give the people what they demand. The Grat' Zeppelin beat her own record for crossing the Atlantic by ; more than thirteen hours on her return trifl and now if her voyage . around the world is successful we may expect some real advancement in l this sort of travel. Os course to attract most of us they will have to reduce the fare but there are always those who would be willing to spend as much as two thousand dollars to cross via the Graf just because jt is 1 necessarily more or less exclusive. Any way it was a great trip home and , Commander Eckener deserves much i praise for his achievement. Federal officers in Chicago — Imagine that — have discovered that northwestern Indiana from South I Bend to Chicago byway of Gary is ‘‘overrun with every imaginable form of graft and law violations." Mr. Loomis, United States district attorney from South Bend denies it and says they are investigating all the charges made. We don't doubt there is some graft there and it is probable that political “puli’’ had something to do with the grand jury probe, but gosh all hemlock, we would think the Chicago officials would be busy at home. However if they have any hot tips that will help clean up Indiana, we hope they send them on. The people could have helped by electing Frank Dailey governor but passed up the opportunity. o : MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. What is the proper way to butter a slice of bread? A. Each bite should be broken off. buttered and eaten. To butter a slice of bread by holding it in the palm of the hand or placing it on the table is extremely ill-bred. Q. What are some suitable gifts for a bride? A. Articles of jewelry, silver, cutglass, rugs, chairs or tables, pictures, or table linen. Q. In closing a letter or note, are such forms as “Sincerely,” and “Cordially" correct? A. No; when using an adverb ending in ly. add the possessive pronoun "yours.” “Sincerely yours,” or “Cordially yours.” —, o — Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Cleaning A Straw Hat A good straw hat cleaner can be made by mixing corn meal, a strong solution of oxalic acid, and water, to a thick paste. Rub this into the straw thorougly, allow it to dry, then brush it well. How to Test Butter Place a small amount of butter in a teaspoon and hold it over a flame. If the butter is pure it will foam quietly and boil. If impure it will crackle and buter as it becomes heated. Vines and Plants Grass clippings put around the roots of vines and plants, and then kept moist, will give excellent results. * TWENTY YEARS AGO ’ * From the Daily Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Today August 12, 1909.—j Harry Thaw ad- ■ judged insane and sent to Mattawan ! assylum.

EUROPE HOUSES FOUR ONE-TIME KINGS IN EXILE _ Amanullah Os Afghanistan Joins Turkish, Persian And Mecca Ruler London. Aug. 12 -,U.R) Europe Is sheltering another royal exile from the east. ex-Klng Anianullah of Afghanistan. He has come to live in the j western civilization that cost him his throne. Anianullah completes a pimr--1 tette of former eastern potentates who have been forced to leave their native j lands and seek refuge in the west; the ex-sultan of Turkey, the ex-shah I of Persia, and ex-King Husain of Meci< a already had resigned themselves tto live in strange kinds. Amanullah has always liked Europe, land it Is therefore expected that his 'life in exile will lie happier than that (of the other three ex monarchs. His ■ beautiful wife, Souriya, is credited with hvaing taught him to prefer the I ways of the wi st. As a farmer in Italy he will hav" ' ample opportunity to reflect upon 4 ; comparative values of astern an,’, western civil' ‘i-as. Ar mullah has 'at least lean that the • o will not mix. As he enters upon ' tu’-v existence it is interesting ,o sp.vulate whether his life will resemble : j ,t of any of the three other potent a’s; the sultan is still every inch a Turk of the old school, proud and poor in his exile; the shah is quartered in Paris, clinging to the gaiety that has always been his life although he has been reduced to poverty in comparis, a to his former wealth; the King of Mecca lives humbly in Cyrpus, appareh ly happy but longing for the sands of his native land.

Sultan Aged Rapidly The sultan lias aged rapidly since his exile. He lives In a tiny Swiss villa. His youngest daughter, a beautiful child, is said to be his omY solace. Black slaves serve coffee In cups bearing the ancient seal of the House of Ostnan- The cups 'ire cracked. The sultan’s royal robes have been replaced by a frock coat, shabby and frayed. Yet ho is still every inch a Turk, and proud of his eastern cul Hire. "My enemies are strong, but Allan Is stronger." This philosophy of King Husain kept him looking as fit mid happy as when he ruled over his kingdom. He continues to be well in spite of bis enemies. His voice is still strong,' and hiifs Kill at.he.
