Babe Ruth, king of swat, has signed a two year's contract at SBO,OOO a year. This is at the rate of about $1,500 to $2,000 for every home run he makes and if he keeps up with his past records he'll pay his way on the Yankee team. The funeral services for former Chief .Justice Taft were broadcast over a national hook-up today noon. This is probably the first funeral service to go on the air and is convincing proof that we are not living in the horse-drawn hearse days. Are you going to build in Decatur this year? Contractors say this is one of the most favorable times since before the war to build and we believe Decatur is about the finest town in the country where one would enjoy building a home and living. A little activity along this line’ would make things bum. Appraisers who will place a value on the lands and property condemned by the state of Indiana for road purposes in connection with state roads number 16 and 27 have qualified and started to work. Where damages are due the appraisers will so note‘and make whatever recommendations they see fit. The viewers have been ordered to file their report by March 15, and in the meantime the roads will be improved and the state will adjust the awards of damages and benefits later. A warning to boys to stay off railroad property was given the other day by one of the detectives for the Pennsylvania railroad. Railroad property, is like any other properly, private property and trespassing is violation of the law. Boys have broken about 5b of the windows in the Pennsylvania freight office and if they insist on this destructive pastime they will have to take their medicine. Have

In order to relieve the unemployment situation, the department of commerce in Washington wishes to have congress give favorable action on proposed building plans. Secretary Lamont stated yesterday that public and private building plans now call for an expenditure of seven billion dollars. He wants things speeded up. A building program carried on throughout the country will not only aid employment, but all lines of business and if plans are being held up, action should be taken to eliminate the trouble and get to work. Admiral Richard Byrd, commander of the Soii.Uj . Pole expedition Is returning to civilization after spending nearly two years on the barren ice wastes around the pole. He and his party are now in New Zealand and this morning a radio hook-up was made with Byrd and , the. Net* York Times. Those who heard the program and the announcer say. "Hello Dick” and the response given by Admiral Byrd, got a real thrill out of it. The radio waves were broadcast over a distance of iD.ooO miles, which is something to marvel at. America awaits Byrd's return to pay him tributes due for his brave and marvelous explorations at the South Pole and as one of the twentieth century heroes. Fort Wayne high schools have been allotted only 50 tickets for the state basketlial! tournament next Friday and Saturday and the town is more excited over the slight than if the circus had passed them up. We believe that a wider distribution of the tickets should U made among the cities of Indiana, especially in those places which have teams in the tournament. The Butler field house, where the tournament is played, seals 15.000 people and why Indianapolis should have nine-tenths of the tickets docs not seem fair to the person or basketball fan who lives outside of the capital city. It's not an Indianapolis tournament, but a state meet and high school students and friends from all over the state should be given an opportunity to purchase a ticket. All in the same day took place the death of former Chief Justice William Howard Taft and the death of Associate Justice Edward T. Sanford and the eighty-ninth natal anniversary of Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. These coincidences are so striking as for the moment to obscure the greater significance. Mr. Taft had resigned, some weeks before his death, and his successor had been appointed and had qualified. That incident, therefore. is closed. Justice Sanford's death was wholly unexpected. He was one of the youngest men on the supreme bench and his health was thought to be good. A successor to him must soon be named. Witli Justice Holmes now entered upon his ninetieth year, he cannot be held to have any expectancy of time, notwithstanding his health lie good and his mind as clear and powerful as it ever was. Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis is 76 years old. Thus it is seen that within the period of his administration there may be need that President Hoover apixdnt three and possibly four justices of the supreme court, including among them the appointj menl of a chief justice, already I made, and a successor to Justice Sanford. —Journal-Gazette.
