Mayor Jimmy Walker is getting a tanning out in California and seems to be enjoying it more than he did the one he was getting in I l.is home town of New York. General Smedley who has some good ideas and doesn’t Imitate to express them is out now with the recommendation that gangsters be! shot without trial, which would ■ certainly simplify matters. Spring has arrived. According to ; the weather experts it came in at | about seven o’clock this morning. So we’re off for the season of showers and flowers, of planting and of life. Let’s be happy. During days of an economic depression it seems easier to get crossed with old friends, to say tin kind things and to act unwisely. It’s all foolish for after all it takes the downs as well as the ups to complete life. If it were all easy sailing, it wouldn’t be half so interesting. The Bluffton Tigers made a tijie showing against the strong Frankfort basketball team, the final score being 28 to 19. While the “Hotdog’’ boys had a shade on their opponents, they knew they were in ! a basketball game every minute of play. Bluffton made more points the last half than Frankfort. A model town is being built at Boulder Dam at a cost of $2,000,000. The citizens there ought to feel sure about one thing and that is that the water supply won't get so low in July and August that a fellow has to wait until his neighbor has quit to start sprinkling the lawn as they did in Fort Wayne I last summer. To relax from the every day grind of business and life is not al-1 ways easy but the surest way it I to spend an hour or two in your church. There you realize how I foolish is the battle for any success except that of leading a clean ' life, helping others and living un-, her the Golden Rule. The legislature muffed a lot of opportunities to correct seme got the ills of taxation but there is one thing they did that ought to help, i That was the enactment of a law ! which provides that taxes cannot | be increased by any unit. Now there should be an effort to reduce the levies as far below that point as possible and in conformity with good judgment. One of the reasons so many republican editors feel so earnest about breaking up Tammany is that it is a democratic organization and while we haven't any doubt •-MaMMMMaMW.. .WM.B ■■ MW ri , IS——*l I «, Week-end Special ROSES, 85c per doz. 2 dozen $1.50 Decatur Floral Co.

that a cleanup might be a good thing we are not losing track of the fact that most of those taking such an interest in the matter now *• would be against a New York •. democratic organization under any ’• other name. .- They do things different out in r Nevada, the state made famous (some years ago by passage of a 2 I J i divorce law which attracted appli- ); cants for separation from al! over the country. Now then the legis- > lattice has enacted a daw which J permits all kinds of gambling and | games of chance. It became effective yesterday and those who think they can beat the other fellow at his own game can spend his last i dollar for a stack of whites. A Canadian woman recently went to New York seeking work. Her maimer of entrance into this country was irregular. Before she came to the notice of the authorities, she gave birth to a child, whereupon she was ordered deported. Taking her child, she sought to re-enter Canada, but was caught at the border. It was then that the (cruelty and the inflexibility of the pew got in its work. Canadian ofIficials were willing that the mother should enter the Dominion, but barred her child, since it was born in the United States. The United States was willing for the child to remain here, but barred the mothI er. When the legal machinery i ceased creaking, the mother was shipped to Montreal. New York now declines to accept the child because it was ‘’abandoned'' in Vermont, insisting that that state I should shoulder the burden. Vermont refuses, arguing that the child is a citizen of New York. Private charity has succeeded in placing the baby in a Jewish orphanage. Every official concerned with this case can cite the law to support his actions. But can they lay claim to common sense? We do not believe they can. Nor do we believe that public opinion would have been much against them had they obeyed ordinary human impulsesi in this case and stretched the law ' to the point where a more Christian form of justice could have prevail-; ed. 0 _ , Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o (U .PJ ♦ j Q.

He finally approached a former wellknown leading man, who was down ion his luck. “How much will you give me?” inquired the actor. “Have you got your own car?” I asked the exhibitor.

’ The actor said he had “Well, business is so bad. I'm ashamed to tell you.” began the theatre-man. “Here, I’ll write it down for you." The actor took the slip and ex amined it for a minute. “Well,” he said, “I'll take it, if it’s all down hill." WE’VE ALL NOTICED IT. The day’s mail brings the following: “Dear Sir: “For years I have been waiting and hoping that somebody would have the courage to take producers i and directors to task for using 1 modern slang in pictures supposed ' to be timed in a previous genera- ! tion. Fur instance, the presenti day ‘Oh, yeah*’ was put between th? iip S of a California sheriff of the vintage of 1849. and baseball slang placed in the mouth of a confederate soldier in the Civil War. “How can a man who is supposed to have the intelligence to handle a motion picture produc- i tion fall so far short in actual understanding? And those two instances I have mentioned are only samples of what is occurring in almost every film which is made that has its scene laid in years that have past. “Such things not only ruin the film for people who possess even i ordinary common sense, but they demonstrate the carelessness or ignorance of the persons who are responsible.
