Perhaps t that's the wave to remove the r static. s The nineteen year old girl who s killed herself because she had gained more than a hundred pounds in weight in a year has t surely finished the job. Her shape j ' is ruined now for good. j _ —" i Any way basketball makes a ( .lot nt us forget our troubles and t the hum drum and weariness of ( every day existence for nothing j else matters much when one's t favorite team is doing battle . against some worthy opponent. < Well if you are driving your ‘“car with the old plates on you are .taking chances of paying two or three times what your license should regularly cost. If you do it witli your eyes open you ought ■ not to complain if the officers pick you up for it. A Kansas City woman is de- 1 mauding $5,000 damages for one 1 kiss, taken from her by a man and without permission. Now at that rate some of the girls would be willing to work overtime nb dotlftf. particularly if they might • choose the man. Tomorrow is the day scheduled for Mr. Groundhog to stick his head out from his winter window and sniff the air. If he conclude -, its safe lie will emerge and the rest of the season will be mild but if he feels the presence of Jack Frost he will go back for thj six weeks nap. And some folks actually believe it. The situation in the flood districts of southern Indiana is improving steadily and a few more days will bring much relief. Just how long the condition will continue depends of course on how long the rains keep off but the probabilities are that the worst is over amt that there will not be ..another as serious as that of two ™weeks ago. — lt"J.s now being claimed by some that Several wrecks have occurred at Tlie Emerson street crossing in Indianapolis due to the fact that the drivers of cars try to count the .number of crosses placed there after the awful Grotto wreck when twenty were killed, and jio forget to watch for a car on the interurban line. There may be something to that argument for its almost a natural thing-to do and It is quite possible that—the crosses will be removed. About thirty people have been killed at this one crossing. Several hundred people played with and bid farewell to the ten

It is a wonderful accomplishment for that school graduates only eighty children a year and never before have ten been taken from one county at one time. The progress of these bright little hoys and girls will be watched with keen and prayerful interest by the people here. William P. Noffsinger. a former minister is now in Michigan City prison, having plead guilty to the embezzlement of $52,000 from a mutual insurance company, which money he lavished on a waitress and adventuress from Indianapolis. He bought her automobiles, jewelry, a restaurant and other things and he leaves a wife and two children to struggle on. It is not the fact that he was a minister or that a man of good reputation went wrong that surprises. That happens. It's the fact that a man sixty-seven years old should not have better common sense. It has been frequently asserted that good roads really cost noth-| ing in the long run, but really' yield a profit on the investment necessary to provide them. Recent statistics seem to bear out this idea. According to Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Automobile Association, good roads have reduced the cost of automobile operation from an average of 10 cents a mile to 6.43 cents a mile in the last five years. .This means that for a trip of 100 miles the expense is now $3.57 ' less titan it would have been under average conditions in 1925, taking into account the cost of gasoline, the less wear on cars and tires, and some allowance for time saved. If these savings are only sufficient to offset the additional gasoline and other taxes necessary to build the highways the motorist is still ahead of the game, because of the greater satisfaction and comfort enjoyed while on the road. —— o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File I k — — —< Febiuaiy I—Dr.1 —Dr. James S.
