You can have a lot of fun hoys and get a lot of thrills in sport without endangering life and Rmb by doing foolish things. And hitching on to autos is absolutely foolhardy.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE (U.R) Finchley, Eng—Characterizing their council chamber as the ''draughtlest place In England", Finchley councillors have asked the surveyor to see what he can do about it.

More Ilian twenty-five new members to Adams Post of the Amer--2 j lean Legion have been secured ) and those In charge of the drive J are hopeful that a total of from ; fifty to a hundred more can he ) written. The post is a splendid j organization mid can be made a power for much good in the community. All who have the right to belong should avail themselves of the opportunity now offered. „ The flood waters in southern In ; diana are slowly receding but there is still about as much suffering there as a few days ago, because i of tlie intense cold and tile fact that so many people are destitute of food and fuel in the outlaying districts. If you can afford to aid the Red Cross or Salvation Army in their work to relieve suffering in the flooded territories, you should gladly do so and to the limit. Chicago Is $310,000,000 in debt and the various institutions are out of coal and supplies. In the meantime the city goes merrily on its way, evidently thinking that it will all come out some way. It will be necessary very soon that something be done. Looks as though about the only relief will be several thousand volunteer “dollar a year" men and sonv* sugar "daddies" to provide necer- J sary funds. It ought to teach that city a political lesson that will last as long as the present generation can remember. Southern Indiana's flooded districts have produced heroes that doubtless will remain unsung. He/e and there a name is heaid, identifying sbmebody who risked his. life to rescue a family in distress, who raced ahead of rushing waters pouring through a leve'! break to spread the alarm, who remained onlduty hour after hour because of tlie emergency. But for every person whose heroism is known there are, no doubt, inary others who will remain anonymous. Under ordinary circumstances it would have been difficult to employ men to work day and night in the cold anil in rain turning to snow, with the temperature below zero, bul when great destruction of life and property is threatened men battle tlie elements willingly and tirelessly. Districts guarded by levees and heavy grades might . have said that everything human had been done and that natuie would have to take its course, but i men who are thoroughly aroused do not view a catastrophe in that manner. Some of them worked for i forty-eight hours, without sleep ■ and without dry clothing. Such ue- . termination has won conflicts on ■ Hie field of battle and it is never lacking when disaster threatens.— Indianapolis News.

SOUTH AMERICA TO BE AFFECTED BY SEA PARLEY Nations Have Three-Fold Interest in London Conference B> Harry W. Frantz (United lb ess Staff Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 24 — (UP) - Countries of South America, al though not participating in the Lon don naval conference, are likely to find their destinies vitally affected by Its conclusions, in the opinion of naval uuthortlles here. These countries traditionally have a threefold interest in the evolution of international naval policies, likely to tie accentuated es 'he drama of London unfolds. These interests are estimated as follows: Naval accord of the world povrs tends to reflect itself in she moderation or rivalries among tlie less powerful nations of th“ world: whereas, con'rarity, disparities between policies of the world powe’s tends indirectly to stimulate partisanship and rivalry in the smaller camps: Secondly, the countries of South America have 111 the past conceived (heir destinies to require the maximum realization of the principle of freedom of the seas, and at tlie Sixth Pan American Conference at Havana, leading jurists of the 20 republic*! found themselves substantially in accord on the basic principles of sea law —a fact of iniporance if tlie law of the seas should
