The dresses are said to be getting longer but it will take several years at the rate they are growing before the change is noticeable. You have just one more day to get a driller’s automobile license under the ruling from the secretary of state's office. Better not try to beat it unless you are courting trouble. The coming city election in Indianapolis will probably decide to some extent at least where Coffin. Senator Robinson, Charles Jewett. Jim Watson or Governor Leslie is “boss." Y’ou have had five months of daylight saving and-we would be glad to have your honest-to-goodness opinion. Remember it will come up again next spring and those in authority will be glad to know whether you feel it a | benefit or a hindrance. Fred C. Miller who was mayor of Michigan City when they began the manager form of city government has assumed his office after being ont seven years and seems to have proven his assertion that those in charge were “pretending to hold office are asserting authority without right.” In the “People’s Voice” column in this paper, Saturday’s issue, appeared an interesting story on beautifying and bettering Decatur ffbm which we have heard a number of comments. It was written by Mrs. Tom Kane, for many years city editor of this i paper and a writer of natural ability. We are glad to publish her sugges-j tions and her articles always for they i are interesting, sincere and worth while. Along the Florida coast and along the island between there and Cuba, the winds are causing great damage these days. These storms come annually and there seems to be nothing to do but to build against them as much as possible which is being done more and more as the years go by. Millions of people interested in the growth of that section of the world will feel relieved when the period of hurricanes and tidal waves has passed. The world series to settle the baseball championship of America which in this particular sport means, the world, will be on next week and you may as well make up your mind now that the news from Chicago and Philadelphia will be about the most import- ' ant. We remember that even during war times, about every thing else was laid aside to get the results. This year the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Athletics will be the opposing teams. Both are good and each has its supporters. Pick your favorite and forget dull care in listening to the returns. The more they investigate the records of Lloyd Crouch, former mayor of Columbia City, the more it becomes evident that he has abused the confidence of his people. The grand jury has returned four indictments with forty-seven counts against him and his bond has been fixed at $19,000.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Hallowell, Me.. —(UP) —A bicycle which he bought in 1396 still provides transportation for Ralph Davenpert Since that time he spent nine dollars for repairs.

He Is charged with forgery, embezzle* ment, unlawful borrowing from the bank of which he was secretary and of embezzling funds from the city. No wonder he has resigned his position in his church, lodges and other organizations. The city of Delphos is to bare a sewage disposal plant. The order comes from the state health department on petition from citizens of Ft. Jennings and farmers along the Auglaize river into which the sewers now empty. Its a proposition that many towns must eventually face and one interesting fact already brought out is that the cost will be about $100,009. The Delphos city council will take the first official action tomorrow' night and results will be watched with interest by many communities. Governor Leslie has called a crime conference to be held in Indianapolis October 11th and 13th. There seems to be need for such a conference but the danger of it is as pointed out byHoward C. Smith in the Star that it will result in a number of prison heads telling the public what greet executives they have been. If as occurred in New York state during the administration of Governor Smith, some definite steps to check crime, slfould be taken, it would be worth whilst but if it is to be only a talk fest with publicity for the governor and a few other officials, it seems like Just more waste of time. o_, Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE The Ironing Board When fastening a new cover on the ironing board, wet the cloth before tacking it in place.

H P. o Stephenson Asks That Petition Be Withdrawn Michigan City, Ind., Sept. 30. —(U.R) —When D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, now serving a life sentence in the state prison here for murder, makes an appeal to Gov. Harry G. Lealie for a 90-day temporary parole it will not be on the gound that he must care for business interests as cited In a imevious petition, but will be for the purpose of “serving the ends of justice.” This was learned when Attorney Robert Baker. Michigan City, sub mitted a petition to Governor Leslie at the prison here fqr authority to withdraw a petition for temporary parole filed with the governor recently by another lawyer. That petition said Stephenson sought a parole 'n order to give some attention to business enterprises. The new petition to be filed with •the governor soon will ask that a 90day parole be granted “for the purpose of procuring evidence and presenting facts to a court that Hiram Wesley Evans, former imperial wizard of the klan, conspired with others and murdered, or caused to be murdered. Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis. and thereafter framed the crime of murder against Stephenson causing petitioner's imprisonment.’’

PRE-CIVIL WAR MANSION STILL WITHOUT PAINT But Some Day Residence At Matchez, Miss., Will Be Finished Natchez. Miss., Sept. 39—(UPI —Its going to be done some day. In this sleepy little town on the Mississippi side of ihe Father of Waters the enterprising citizens some day will finish the little planting job that was started on the eve of the outbreak of the Civil War. Mute testimony of the spontaneity with which loyal southern ers respond to the call to arms stands in a room in the second floor of the magnificent residence of Miss Julia Nutt. The whole story is this: William Nutt came to Virginia from England about 1660. This great-grandson. Rush Nutt, after studying medicine In Philadelphia, decided to come to Jefferson county, Miss., to practice his profession near Natchez. He was industrious and enterprising and being of a patron of education was one of the three men who founded Oakland College, now known as Alcorn A. and M. College. His son, Taller became a scientific farmer and improved the crude Whitney cotton-gin, making it so perfect that from 1838 until the close of the Civil War no changes were made on it. Ornate Mansion Planned In 1553 the son purchased the site on which “Longwood," the ornate mansion, was to be erected, just outside of the city. Grand mansions were no novelty, for there are many here. som° of them said to be the finest homes in the south. This however, was to be the grandest of them ail. It was designed along oriental lines and built on the plans drawn up by one Sloam of Philadelphia. It was tour stories high, surmounted by a dome cupola. In 1960, the top of the cupalo was the highest point in the south. The shape of the house, which stands to this day. is octagonal, eight rooms opening from the rotunda. Finishing touches and the painting were being

done In 1861 when the war broke out. The painters were on the aeoond floor when word came of the firing on Fort Sumter. The painters In their haste to enlist dropped their brushes and left the paints right where they stood. War Ruined Fortune The war coat the Nutts their fortune Completion of the stately home was de laved and to this day the finishing of the uecond and third floors remains to be done The house Is still well preserved, however, despite Its Incom plated potion. And the paint pots still stand there, covered with dust, and waiting for that eventful day when work will be resumed. They have become something of a shrine to the townspeople who, having forgotten their feud with the North, at ill -regrard with reverence the spirit which sent thousands of Confederate soldiers to combat the invasion of the northern troops Some day. the old timers tell visitors, the work will be finished "when the painters get around to It."
