Start this week off by writing an advertisement and inserting it in the Daily Democrat. That's good business all the way around. Pep counts more now than for years. Come on boys, lets go. We can do it If we say so and don't lose heart. If we pull together, help each other just a little, boost Decatur and Adams county, we can't help but come through. So long as the Gen ral Assembly doesn't pass any tax bills we are perhaps no worse off than we are now and don’t fool yourself that it couldn't be worse. They can take it all. Chicago is broke again and school teachers, police and others who| work for the municipality have a j gloorfiy outlook for the next several months and perhaps longer. if that’s good manag ment Thompson ought to be re-elected. > I According to a prohibition agent the farmers down in the south part of the state have a regular organization to manufacture moonshine liquor, dividing the work and the profits. Perhaps that cry about being ''busted’’ by the drought is just a blind. January was the warmest and the dryest month on record since the meteorologists began keeping track of such things. Be not discouraged, the chances are the spying rains will be so frequent that crops will have to be put in betwein showers. Some of these evenings someone is going to take the low-minded g -nt who goes to a lot of effort to j peek in bedroom windows and when they do we hope he gets up l before a court and jury that will ' refuse to listen to his sob story | and give him the limit. Os all the despicable things we know of this one is the worst. It is well for those interested in the future of this nation and particularly, the law makers, that seventy-five billions of dollars of wealth of the country pays no taxes. One of the tilings that is getting us into serious difficulties is the ever increasing tax exemption.

Our sympathies are with Smet ley D Butler in hl* court martii trial for while he may have bee indiscreet in his talks he baa i brilliant army record that shout cover most any error of speech. I is not unusual for public speaker! I to say things which if they had ti . prove, might cause them some dll f Acuities. I There is no doubt that the Ret [ i Cross needs funds. Several sec i itions of the country have serlom 'problems as the result of the I drought and we will soon entei upon the period of floods anti cyclones. Not to give to this cause if we can is foolish if we believe in helping one another. And the quota in Adams county is far short The Red Cross fund in Adams county is still a long ways from shore but we believe that in due time it will be subscribed. Way down south where the drought was the worse and where there is the greatest demand, it Is surprising how they are putting over their quotos in counties that do not compare with this one. If 110 chickens can produce 20,000 eggs in a year and these are placed in incubators and some where near that many chicks brought forth, its no wonder there is an over supply of this always delightful breakfast food. By the way, if the egg men would do the same amount of advertising as the cereal manufacturers do, its likely they could largely increase the consumption. And nobody seems to have thought of that idea. Eight railroads have reduced passenger fares to five cents per mile and it seems to us, without any knowledge of their problems, that this is wisdom. New York traction lines lost millions with a ten-cent fare, the owners opposed j with all their might a reduction of half that and then to their surprise, the roads showed a profit. Railways must it seems do something die motor bus competition anfl fine way to do it is to meet the price. The flu epidemic is more serious than we here seem to think it is. :In the east there have been hundreds of deaths and in Chicago last week the number of deaths from I that cause was twenty-nine with 114 from pneumonia, most of which cases followed the grippe. There were 1.160 cases in Chicago during the month of January and the alarming thing about it is that the number is increasing daily and rapidly. It is a good time to be careful, to fight every cold and to whip it before it gets a good start. Th recent special election cost $6,391, and in this county figured lon the vote cast, 2,578, the cost Iper ballot exceeded $1.25. Seems las though there ought to be some ] way to arrange for a fair and impartial way to fill such vacancies as occurred this year and without such cost. Os course no counties as good as Adams and Wells wish to be without representation in any meeting in which the people of the entire state are interested and if we have to we will hold special elections but we favor some simpler method. The house has passed a bill increasing the mortgage exemption to $1,300. Os course that's fine for some people hut as one of the leaders of the house majority said, when half the property is exi mpt and the other half pensioned, where I will the money come from to meet pile bills? It just can't be. Whether wr selfishly want some of the things they are trying to push through, wp ought to be sensible enough to know that we are just I getting into greater difficulties. | There is a limit to taxation, to ■pensions and exemptions.

FASHION CZARS ■ WILL REVIVE j PANTALOONS = Long Thin, Lace Pants Under Full Evening Skirts Latest Greation $ Editors Note: Following Is anD other of a series of cable stories on Paris fashipn openings. By Mary Knight United Press Uta IT correspondent Paris, Feb. 2—<U.R>— The efforts of Paris fashion czars to revive the pantaloons of another day surged ahead again last night when a startled audience viewed Paul Poiret'e newest creation — long thin, lace pants under full evening skirts. Unlike the models shown several days ago when the whirl of dancing gowns revealed ruffled pantaloons, the long pants were displayed to full advantage only when the model was seated, with skirt pulled up slightly. The boldest model was held to the neck by a string of beads, attached to a heavy white crepe back. The front of the model was held in place only by being drawn i across the chest and under the - arms. There were no straps over the shoulders. The models made heavy use of black. Skirts were long for evening and ■ below the calf for morning and afternoon wear. Hats were small and coats short and tight, with s scarves very full. Heavy lace suits were featured .- by Lucile Paray, who showed them iff navy and crow bine with large i flowers adding a bold touch at the waist for evening. The skirts i were below mid-calf for afternoon - and at the ankle or floor for eve- > ning. Many were of lace and chiffon —showing the outline of the legs almost to the knee. Jane Regny introduced a copy- ► ■ righted jacket coat in darnaw colI or schemes. The most popular * evening materials were faille lace and printed muslin with taffeta. . Shoes were of solid colors. A large silver fox was used with cliif son gowns aird short evening . coats, with longer velves coats — i some to the floor —for use with a , white fox collar around the neck and under the arm to the back. t Colors included much green, red . and coral. Th, question of draping a wc>’.- . ding veil w:o solved by Lucien Lelong, who <>■ < reed that the bnd > , whose features need no softening may wear white silk tulle which , alls over tne crown of the head without being caught anywhere. If the veil is lace and the bride's face is long, the veil may be gathered in at the ears with clusters of orange blossoms at each side. Great billows of tulle flow from th -1 dusters and lace ripples from the heat; to the hem of the train, over the tulle. 1 tie tulle may be of the palest fl“sh color if desired. for it shows the delicate traj?ry in the lace to bi tter advantage. For a round f. ce, the coronet •ii'rct I.' 'gl'lens the general in-pre-i-ion It is of pearls or i-.ce, made tiara wise. From it a sho.t shoulder lent th it:, falls in front, and in. the back it continue-: to the end of tlie t.:-i-n. There t.ie several methoils tor the bi <’>► whose face is of average dimensions. A Grecian band of silver lame leaves the crown of the head tinio"erod and suspends a short veil in front. The soft folds of a long ,voil fail behind. Pearls and chiffoi may term the cap-shape of another veil in “Juliette” style,] while a little skull cap, embrold-j snd in pearls and strass. shows the bair to advantage and is perhaps the most popular at the momeii' because of the small “offi the face" hats The same idea is carried out in lace bonnets, quite infant-like in design am' showing little curls all ' about the face.

Both houses of the legislature | concurred in a resolution providing i for appointment of committees to ' make an investigation of the activities of the state coal oil inspector. It was alleged, on the floor of the senate, where the resolution originated, that the inspector had failed to make a report of his inspections and collections. The committee was ordered to ascertain the cause of the failure. In the present session of the legislature, the House of Representatives lias ordered remittance of about $36,000 in oil inspection collections allegedly made by inspectors. o— — The J. W. Callend family has ; moved to the Arnold residence, corner Third and Jefferson.

The senate voted dry; two anti-' utility measures were passed on to third reading: the Republicans * through a political stumble saved S the Democratic Income tax meanuse in the House and both the Senate and House were flooded with more bills. 1 These, generally speaking were " the big features of the third week of the Seventy-seventh General Assembly of Indiana during the last week. Senator Perkin's move in the s upper house to discard the M right e bone dry law was defeated by a ' close vote when his bill to repeal I ’ the Indiana prohibition law and a. resolution to inform congress that I 1 Indiana desired a change in the ! national dry laws were both indefinitely postponed. About the only change in the J Indiana dry law which appears likely to have a chance for passage in both houses is an amend- ' ment to permit licensed physicians ‘ the use of whiskey for medicine. Two bills by Rep. Kistler. Repn. 1 of Elkhart, aimed at the utilities ' were passed on to second reading ? in the House last week, much to ’ the surprise of the utility ftibby--1 ists who felt certain they had complete control of the Assembly., r When word that the bills had ’ passed on, defeating opposite committee reports in thci flight, became known, a score of utility lobbyists poured into the House chamber to ascertain just what' 1 had happened. It was the first ex-, citing moments for the utility ■ men. A checkup showed that. 1 many House members had vanish- 1 ’ ed from their seats when the vote ; was called and a bare constitu-! * tional majority vote was recorded. 1 Labor members of the House disappeared when a roll call was ask- ' ed for. because those men do not want to vote either way until their own bills are disposed of. A few ' other members who know full well ' their constituents are anti-utilitv. ' but who wish to share in the many ‘ dinners and parties held by var- * toils lobbies did the fade away act 1 nnd as a result the Kistler bills moved on. There is doubt if the i ! bills will ever pass the House, but ' the action stimulated excitement] 1 to a large degree. ‘ The old ag;e pension bill passed ' the house and went on to the Senate. In w-as a Democratic platform measure and the first of a series ' to go to the Senate. 1 Senator Thurman Gottschalk of ' Berne, ranking Democrat member : ! of the budget committee continued 1 through the -week to show strong I j leadership in the Senate. Senator! ! Gottschalk together with minority 1 leader Walter S. Chambers of ' Newcastle seems to have the Dem- ' ocratic minority in the Senate well under control. The minority is 1 sufficiently strong that when 1 Chambers and Gottschalk desire - adjournment, the Democrat mem- ‘ hers can walk out and force fessa- ■ tion of Senate business. The Re- ' publican minority in the House is ■ not large enough for this trick and so the Democrats hold a de- • t BIG FEATURES : I 9F RADIO I > • - ——-- < Monday's Five Best Radio Features WABC (CBS network) —5:00 p. m.

i elded edge In the General Aseem- ( bly on important measures. Both bouses were busy all last 11 week with afternoon sessions last- s ing until late. More than 425 bills have been introduced in the two a houses and the working machinery e of the bodies is suffering some- c what from the heavy amount of s legislation up for consideration. i The Democratic platform bills are being rushed through the House and the budget bill which ‘ is almost always the last bill to j be passed by the Assembly Is alI most ready for introduction. The 1 bill must be born in the House , [because of the constitutional clause 1 requiring all money measures to start in the lower house, Ixist Thursday a Republican income tax measure was reported out of committee with recommendation that the bill be postponed indefinitely. The rule of the house is to the effect that if a bill is indefinitely postponed, no other bill concerning that subject can be introduced again during the present session. The Democrats were 1 about to accept the committee re- i port, when minority leader Knapp i broke out in a masterful oration asking that the bill be passed on i |to the second reading. Finally the bill was passed on and then Mr. Knapp realized that by urging the (passing of the measure he had played into the Democratic plan, I because the Democrat income tax I bill would automatically have : l>een lost had the Republican measure failed at this point. So through the queer turn of circumstances. Democrat floor leader McKesson j had attempted to defeat his own j measure and minority leader Knapp had unknowingly been the , big hearted man who had saved the Democrats. The teacher tenure law will remain unchanged at least for two years, following the defeat of the Babcock bill seeking to abolish the present tenure law as far as it effects township schools and town schools in towns of 3.000 population anil under. The bill . was killwl on second reading, after a divided committee report 1 forced a special order of business I and brought hundreds of letters laud telegrams to the House members from both those in favor and a.-.alnst the tenure law as it now is. The famous sales tax bill was introduced last Friday, and the House post office has looked like a Christmas rush ever since. Wires, letters and telephone calls from merchants throughout the state are a; riving daily. Indications are now that the measure will die in its infancy, but these legislators are known for their ability to change their minds just before votes. This week will see many measures drop under the committee knives and probably by the middle of February the work will reach a place where at least the members and employes will know something about what is happening. nails and to soften the cuticle, [squeeze one teaspoonful of lemon i juice into one cup of warm water, I dip the fingers into it and let them j remain for a few minutes.
