New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dailies With all the basketball worries and business matters over for another week most folks will welcome the day of rest. A survey recently taken in Evansville shows that only ten per cent of the residences there are equipped with bath tubs. Gosh they must use the old Ohio river liberally. Business in Decatur is better than a year ago according to a survey just made among the business houses, so pep up and go to it and the indications are it, will improve shortly. The city of Chicago wants to borrow fifty million dollars. Now ! if any one has that amount that • they wish to dispose of or loan, ' you can get in on it no doubt. They have been having one heck of a time up that way lately. “Manage your money, don't let it manage you," was the headline of one of the thrift week advertisements run this week and a good tiling to think over, it means you should put your money where it will earn returns, an Adams county farm for instance. Talk to your banker. A lady cashier of the Fort Wayne City Light and Power works under the Geake administration is short s7.ltMi according to tire report ot City Auditor James P. Haelting ami others who have just investigated tlie city affairs. The lady, lem must fact trial. It would be interesting to know just how this lady expected to get by with her work and what she did with the money, most of which it is claimed was taken the last few months of her service for t lie city. Over at Wabash another lady is on trial for assisting her husband, j Gene Alger, to escape after bolding up the Lafontaine bank. Gene was a student at Butler University a couple of years ago and married ’ Josephine. Immediately they seem to have started a career of crime. Alger killed a colored policeman at Indianapolis and was sent to prison. Governor Leslie pardoned him and within a few months he and his wife had held up a Half dozen hunks and several filling sta- ! lions. He was sent up again and now his young wife is facing trial. It doesn't seem to pay cither from a financial standpoint or one of happiness. Financial statisticians re pol l that 41 per cent of the wealth of the United Slates is in the hands • of v women. This includes real ■ estate, stocks, bonds and cash in » tiie bunk. It leaves 5# per cent of the wealth that is theoretically . owned by men. lint only tlieor- ,. etically. For if the pay chocks . issued to husbands and bank ac- . count in their names were credited to I lie wives who really control them, the percentages would he reversed. We poor men are in a worse condition than the official figures, disconcerting though they

Highways should be made as nearly foolproof as possible, according to S. J. Williams of Chicago, director of the public safety division of the National Safety Council, who addressed the sixteenth annual road school at Purdue university. No doubt much can be accomplished by the proper construction and marking of highways. But more than that will be required to prevent accidents such as reported from Berea, 0., where ten in a school bus were killed at a railway crossing. Mr. Williams pointed to the fact that last year was the'third season in succession showing an increase in deaths from uutomobile accidents greater In proportion than the increase in the number of motor cars in use. Congestion due to the larger number of automobiles on the streets and highways adds to the perils of driving. But that also calls for greater caution on the part of those using cars. While drivers of school busses continue to cross railway tracks without exercising even ordinary diligence, it is useless to expect 100 per cent of caution on. tlie part of other automobiles. Cars have been made so sturdy that comparatively fpw accidents result from mechanical defects. Roads and streets may, and should, be made as nearly foolproof as possible. But there will be accidents so long as man does not do Ids part. Nothing the automobi’e manufacturers and road builders can do will Insure safety to tlie careless driver.—Auburn Courier. ♦— — ♦ Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Rubber Bands Keep rubber bands in a tightly closed tin box and they will retain their elasticity much longer than if exposed to the air.

DIVERS NEARING $5,600,000 GOLD NEAR JUNEAU i Washington Crew Works Armed to Protect Against Hijacking By Earl H. Leif (United Press Staff Correspondent) Olympia, Wash., Jan. 25 —(UP) — Armed to (he teeth against pirates and hijackers, an expedition of 10 men from Olympia and Seattle are driving 360 fe?t -below the blizzard swept ice crusted surface of the Alaskan seas near Juneau for nearly $6,000,000 In miner's fold dust" pokes aboard the Aunkeu treasure ship B. S. Islander. A specially constructed diving apparatus or "hell" Invented by Carl 11. Wiley, of Otympifi, is being used for the diving operations. The bell Is capable of reaching a depth of 550 feet under the sea—the deepest to which man has ever descended and lived. Word received here by Captain Lilian Lindley, co-bneker, whose husband and son are on the trip, said the expedition has again reached the Islander and operations have been resumed after an interruption last September when they were forced to return here for supplies. The Islander struck an iceburg and sank in Stevens Pass, near 1 Jouneab, Aik ska. In *l9Ol with loss of 75 live/and ss,Got),(Wo in gold dust shipments destined for United Stales mints. , Deep-sea hijackers, intent upon securing some of the sunken treasure when it is brodgjit to the surface, already have annoyed the ex pedition. and the crew now works heavily aimed for protection. The diving apparatus is constructed of 3-4 inch steel in the form of a large egg with a Holme! atop tt and is maneuvered perpendicularly like an elevator by means of cranes aiid wiriches. l-aing arms, mechanically operated by the man Inside tlie shell, are used to pick up the objects wanted. Necessary equip ment lias been taken on this expedition to enable the divers to tear away part of the treasurer ship's hull to get inside tire vessel. Tlie Islander'r anchor and sextent have been brought to the surface, Articles, such as jugs, metal

Aside bom Its value us a treasure hunting aparatus, the backers am Inventors of the dlvlhg apparatus Ckrl Wiley, Elbert Wiley, Charles D Lindley. and Mrs. Lilian Lindley, are enthusiastic about Its value in raising sunken submarines and as-dsllng in other marine disasters. Weighing less than a ton and uoi bulky in size, the bell tfould be easily carried by a tri-motoreij plane from one location to another. Plans and specifications of the invention are being guarded with utmost secrecy, but they will be placed at disposal of Ihe Navy Department soon for rescue purposes. “If the Wiley diving bell Had been on band When the submarine S-4 sank off Provtncetown Massachusetts, in 1925, those 40 men who lost their lives then might all have been saved,” said Mrs. Lindley.
