Decatur's big street fair is but three weeks away and the program as now being rounded into shape gives promise of being one that you will thoroughly enjoy. The motion for a new trial in the Dr. Snook case at Columbus, Ohio, attacked the judge, prosecuting attorney. jury and about everybody else connected with the recent trial, indicating that Snook does not expec relief from that source. President Hoover made a speech at Madison, Virginia, his subject being “fishing.” He asserted that he "likes to fish.” Now you know>we just had an idea he did from the fact that he has made week end trips for that ■purpose almost constantly this summer. The senate committee has taken a wallop at the proposed tariff for the protection of the sugar beet industry which means that the cane sugar barons bad more influence than did the farmers of the country. This is nothing new but the boldness of the present position is almost alarming. Something must be wrong in Indiana so far as doling out 1 jhrfiee is concerned. Last year 366 persoifs were at rested on charges of murder , but only forty-two men and two women were convicted of murder or manslaughter. What do you suppose became of the other 314? No wonder conditions don't improve. The public will not get much of a thrill out of the fact that Colonel Charles Lindbergh drove an automobile around a Detroit race track at a speed of 112 miles an hour. No living man is doing as much for aviation as this youngster and he is far too valuable to be taking chances on a speed track. Mrs. Lindbergh ought to give him a good talking to. Harry F. Sinclair has appealed to the president for clemency and we imagine there will be considerable pressure brought to bear in his favor. There are worse fellows than Sinclair running loose but the trouble is that he has been convicted and any favors shown him would be credited to the fact of his wealth and power, a very serious precedent to establish. Wv just can't help smiling at those who a year ago were boosting Mrs. Wildebrandt to the skies and most of whom are now declaring she ought to be muzzled. We thought so then but now that, she is telling 'the "inside dope" of how and why and where and when il all happened, we favor a complete "spill." It’s the old story perhaps of making a lot of difference "whose bull Is gored." Police are now hunting for Gene Alger, one of those favored by Governor Leslie with one of his special dispensation pardons. Alger murderetj agi Indianapolis policeman and had served but a Cdutfte of years when he was freed last May. Since then it is known he has committed four serious crimes, including two bank robberies. The governor certainly permitted sentiment to get the best of judgment in tills case. It seems to be an open secret that

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Richmond, Ind., Aug. 19.—(U.R) — Everette Wilkenson. 23, is a prisoner in the t Wayne county jail here. He was caught when he returned to a store he robbed to exchange a pair of shoes for some that would fit him better. J prohibition violators in Lake county were "tipped off" the pust two years when an impending raid was planned by federal officers. That's certainly a serious condition and a crime that ought to result in punishment of the guilty ones. ()T course such a tip could come only through officers sworn to uphold the law and the constitution and that kind of a criminal is the one that must be punished if we are to get anywhere with general law enforcement. / About everybody will regret the decision of the state highway commission to route No. 27 in such away as to miss tlie town of Monroe by a mile but representatives of the commission claim they have made numerous efforts for two years to make other arrangements and without success. Tlie road already built to that town however, will provide a very good route for many years for the use of those going or coming to and from that splendid trade center and should largely relieve them from dealing with the speeders. The near collision of five cars with the afternoon G. R. & I. passenger train north of Monmouth is not the first of its kind. People living near there say they have held their breath many times when accidents were ’ barely averted by cars crashing into the fence or stopping suddenly. A wig wag signal there would help but the road is under supervision of the state highway department who have been trying for some time to secure an overhead or undercut at that point. This accident will be called to their attention with a request that they take some provision of safety. c • BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO • sc * * ♦ »¥**«••«s< Monday's.

RUSSIAN TRAINS HIS BEASTS TO REVERSE ROLES Wolf Fears Ram, Wildcat Mothers Mouse, In Duroy’s Home Moscow, Aug. 19 (UP) -The home of Vladimir Leonidovltch Durov for ■two generations Russia s most successful animal trainer, circus clown and animal psychologist is literally a house of wondern. A visit there resolves itself into a .protracted series of exclamations. Although it is partly a zoo, partly a museum, at once a scientific laboratory and a circus training ground, "home” is the appropriate word to describe it. Th? animals which fill tlie place, from the trained rats to tlie performing elephant and camel, are almost as much a part of the household as Durov, his wife and their daughter. Each of firn animals is in its own way dom> ticated, obedient to Durov as head of tlie house and on f- ’.r terms with the other inmates. on’ Durov dor nit seer, just one L.rnily of livin' •’ i tun His eagles soar '' 1" ?ver Moscow and tetutn home in me n- dinner. The barking of his dogs I not mere barking: it is in a fund>r ital sense conversation because Durov under stands their language and "barks" responses. Widcat Mothers Mouse A ferocious-looking wildcat is bu mothering a tiny mouse. Nearby ; ordinary house cat is playin ■ living ]y with a brood of rats; the. afnber all over her and nestle up in her fur to sleep. A prowling wolf not only does not attack a ram put into his cage but cowers in terror at the ram s approach. The ram in its turn is aware of his power over the wolf, chases him around the cage and butts him play--1 fuly. It's a generous hearted ram. though, and does not actually hurt his ancient enemy now that their roles ar reversed. Seals and a baby walrus respond to Durov and his assistants with almost human understanding. The huge bear earns his keep by operating a machine which pumps water for the other animals. Birds take all the joy out of hunting by running towards the gun and perching on its muzzle as soon as it is fired. Foxes spread carpets for other animals to show their tricks on. The camel waltzes, lions and tigers play house, even the porcupine does stunts. Ixila, the four-year-old chimpanzee, lias the run of the house. She took an tintimate and noisy interest in the

Dog Brings Matches A hospitable dog found matches for our smoke and did other little jobs around the house ns intelligently, and certainly more willingly, than most servants. A catalogue of the wonders and curiositles In this house would fill a book has. in fact, tilled several written by Durov and others. The few examples already cited will suffice to !<:nvey tlie tone and spirit of this modern Noah's ark where fish, flesh and fowl of nearly every species live a busy co-ordinated life. The most extraordinary thing In this extraordinary house, however, is Durov himself. He has more than 50 years of work with animals behind him and, still robust at 66, a great many active years before him. Os medium height and stock built,

bushy gray hairs, large magnetic eyes and a walrus mustache. Ire radiates good nature and confidence. Something of the Influence which he exer clses over animals is felt even hy humans who come in contact with him. , _ To the Rustai) public at large Durov is. and has been lor some <0 years, the beßt-knbwn and beloved animal performer. His name is a household word by now and Is enough to overcrowd a circus lent anywhere in the vast Russian empire. To the children of tlie Soviet union lie is "Dariushka— Grandpa—-Durov," who makes all the fairy tales about animals who behave like humans come true. His house is always crowded with groups of children trooping through its rooms from floor to floor. To tlie political-minded he is a powerful propagandist, with a mind of Ills own and (he courage to proclaim it. Often enough he troubled the old regime by denouncing through his animals abuses and inequalities. Nor does he hesitate now, through little allegories acted out by Ills animal troupe, to poke fuu at pretentious
