Falling in the bathtub is not so popular as singiug there, as only one out of twenty-eight hurt blamed the slippery tub. Beds are less hazardous, for only one person iu sixty filed claims for hurts sustained in falling out of bed. Claims paid because of insect bites were three limes the number resulting from animal bites, in recreation golf is found to be more daugerous than anything else, with dancing probably the safest exercise. — Indianapolis News. The conferees on the tariff bill have approved import taxes of 10 per cent on cattle hides and 20 per cent on shoes. While this is probably not the most vicious performlance in the present tariff revision, lit is entitled to serious consideration as the most asinine. The 10-per-cent tax on hides is passed under the guise of farm relief. It will be effective in boosting the price, because about a third of our Hide supply is imported, but the leading spokesmen for the farmers agreed that it will do the farmers no good, because they sell hides as by-products of beef. The principal beneficiaries will be the great meat packers, who have neither asked for nor need tariff relief. The tax on shoes is designed partly to compensate the shoe manufacturers for the increased "farm relief" provided for the great meat packers and partly to guard them against ‘’insuperable competition" from foreign shoe manufacturers. The nature of this terrific competition is best indicated by the fact that while 344,350,724 pairs of shoes were being manufactured. -ttt this country in 1328, 3.2411,930 pairs, or less than 1 per cent of the domestic production, were being imported. — Baltimore Sun. . While every one admits that some changes should be made in the taxing laws of Indiana most of those who study the problem will agree that we wil get relief in most any other manner sooner and better than by trying to write a new constitution. Tliats a dangerous proceedure in this day and age ami one of the things we should never consent to is to so arrange the basic law that it can lie easily changed. it begins to sound like the long .■go times with eggs quoted at sixteen cents. Not since before the World war broke some sixteen or seventeen years ago has the product of the poultry yard reached so low an ebb and it is to be hoped (fiat something will occur soon to start au upward trend. Government officials made a rich haul yesterday when they captured the Anstcrburg ship off Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The cargo of liquor aboard was valued at over half a million dollars based on bootleg prices. Evidently there have been a change in the methods of the ruin sleuths. The crowd behind Fred Bays in his race against U. Earl Peters lor state chairman include a number who have been looking for a chance to scrap for some time. It is hoped that with the outlook for a whopper victory next November the boys will not upset the crock. Not very irany towns or cities wil have a higher census than the estimates made up to a few weeks ago and most folks will insist that the population is larger by several hundred but the record will staud for ten years so fai as the government is concerned and their rej ports are generally taken as officjial.

Toere will be no quarrying of onyx from Diamond Caverns. The big cave, near Glasgow Junction, Ky., a few miles from Mammoth cave, is filled with onyx stalagmites and stalactites and, a few years ago, a company to quarry the onyx for commercial use was formed. Now a new oiganization has taken over the caverns, fitted them with concrete steps and walks, and electric lights, put aside the onyx saws, which were never used, acd opened the place to the public.

While an income tax law might not prove a pleasant relief for all i the present ills, we believe most 1 folks would be satisfied and su--1 premely happy to have to pay a 1 per cent or two on a nice fat profit. 1 A successful business man is as ! sensitive to the voice of his cus- » turners as a politician is to the i vo'ers and that's sensistive enough. Isn't it funny that when you like ; people real well, they usually like you just as well? No one is perfect. We are sure . of that and the fact explains why I we all have a chance. 1 ° ♦ * ’ J I I BID FEATURES OF RADIO .1 t i 'i . ♦ ♦; Friday’s Five Best Radio Features 1 Copyright 1930 by UP.

RICHEST MAN IN ENGLAND NAS 68TH BIRTHDAY Sir John Reeves Ellerman Remains Man of Mystery to Reporters — | London. May 16 —(UP)- Sir John . Reeves Ellerman, the Rockefeller of i Gieat Britain, ■ celebrated his 68th I birthday at his home here today. It was a quiet celebration, for Sir John is still recuperating from au illness contracted last winter. Sir John is reputed to be the wealthiest man in Britain, worth about |100,000,000. Yet he is so modest he occupies only one inch of space in Who’s Who. He was born at the historical port of Hull but upset the town's traditions hy choosing an accountant's stool in preference to a sailor's berth. He still considers himself . an accountant and dotes on figures. It Is even said he reads a ledger with as much pleasure as a newspaper. Like many big financiers, he is a disciple of the “hush-hush” school of business. Wily reporters liaff? never tricked him into giving interviews or statements. His employe} have orders not to divulge any information concerning hint to newspapermen. Sir John is interested in shipping breweries and many industrial en- . terprises. He ranks third in the j world as an owner of shipping ton- 1 nage. MONROE NEWS Tlie Wouiau's Foreign Missionary Society of the Monroe M.

Q And Shell Motor Oil has helped make motoring a matter-of-fact necessity. As the automobile developed, Shell has regularly anticipated lubrication requirements. Always a step ahead, it is ready ; now for the models which will be announced next year. That is why owners of all kinds of cars are turning to Shell Motor Oil in ever increasing numbers for the protection they know their engines ' must have.
