Spnator Fess, national chairman of Tlie Republican party says they wilt stand or fall on Hoover's record in fife 1932 campaign and that will be tile platform. If things dojt improve considerably it looks like a hard fall too. iflowly rising temperature is the prqjiction frotq the weather bureau anff that's probably correct for we apflfroach the time of year when the sun gets clorfe enough that we all shed our heavies and dig out the light weights. A month from now we„won’t have to pay much attention to the furnace. The Prince of Wales is a smart fellow even if lie lias been joked a lot about falling from his horse. Recently he advised the merchants of Jhe Empire to do more advertisproved the success of that mdfhod by giving facts concerning thr- growth of American business. Holts right and Decatur merchants cao, profit by following his advice. 4» Pile young folks who are gradual mg this spring have the advantage of starting now’ when value" are, low. It will he easier for them a hold and it will be eager to grow because of the econonttes now practised as compared tojhe wild years just past when aj dottar didn't mean much to the average person.

Perhaps if Je look around and keep our eyes opjn such a thing could be found. I At*least its worth trying. L sounds alright to have Indiana pujjlic institutions use Indiana coal, thus restoring that business in the seilions where the mines are located but the penalty of ten per real, for doing it seems a little string.

Ehinger as presi- '* dent, E. D. Engeler, vice-president 5 0 and Ira Fuhrman, secretary, with E. W. Lankenau, P. B. Short, Gits 0 Wehmeyer, J. S. Peterson, D. M. I Niblick and Harry Knapp on the board, will assure a successful year for the club. I So far during the depression there has been practically no labor troubles but with the reduction of wages there come threats of strikes and vigorous protests are being . made. At Akron and Mansfield. , Ohio t the battle between labor and i capitol is on and results in doubt. . There should of course be a reason able point where they could agree and we believe that will result generally. Tlie Supreme Court has again refused a new trial requested from the once famous or infamous D. C. Stephenson and it looks very much as though the man who was declared "I am the law in Indiana" must spend the rest of his days in Michigan City. There may be some technical or legal disputes in his case but about every one seems to think that on general principles he is getting his just dues. Decatur may be having her time troubles but they’re little ones compared to those of Woodstock, Illinois, where a certain well known brand of typewriters is made. Woodstock housewives are threat ening a civil war if something is not done to regulate the clocks. It's reported that the women are laying in a stock of rolling-pins for immediate use if the city fathers don't establish one and only one time in the community. While one . half theMsuir.es are operating on daylight saving time, the other half, catering mostly to farmers, operate on standard time. The housewives are up in arms because they have to serve two breakfasts to members of the household employed in different factories. Even the courts are of divided opinion also. The county court has gone daylight saving while the circuit court is following standard. Witli the women threatening to resort to rollingpins, it’s our advice to the men, especially the bald-headed, that immediate action be taken. — Columbia City Post. p t 4 ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS I ] Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two i ♦ 4 I I. —A snake. i 2. —From the Phoenecian city of Tyre. 3. —Jesus, Buddha, Aristotle, Asoka, Roger Bacon and Abraham Lincoln. i.— Cape of Gocd Hope. 5. —Socialist author and novelist. 6. — Dublin.

BRITAIN TEACHES SCHOOL IN DAILY RADIO LESSONS I Daily Lessons Broadcast To Pupils in 3,000 Schools Ixtndon. -(UP)—Children in al- , most 3,000 British schools receive dally lessons over the radio through the national system of educational broadcasting which Britain claims cannot lie touched in any other country. Educators from all parts of Europe come to Loudon to study the , British system. Recently numerous inquiries have been received from i broadcasters and educational . groups in tlie United States. To Explain System Here , The British system of instruction by radio will be fully explained to Americans by Sir John Reith director general of the British Broad :' casting Corporation, when he addresses the first assembly of the ' National Advisory Council on Radio hi Education in New York in May. i For seven years, the British , Broadcasting Corporation under Reith has been studying the possi- , bilities of education by radio. Two . years ago it was joined by the . Central Council for School Broadcasting, an organization represent- ( ing the principal educational inter- , . ests of the country. Together these two groups have . developed an elaborate program of . t broadcasting for schools. Each , ;. school day afternoon between 2:30 ; and 4:30 programs are broadcast , which supplement the regular cour- , see of study. ( ! The radio courses are divided in ’ to four terms which coincide with 1 the four terms of the school year. : 1 Courses include history, English, “ nature study, biology and hygiene ' and rural science. I French Is Taught French, taught by an experieue- t ? ed French instructor, is one of the t s' most popular courses. On Fridays, dramatic readings, such as Shakes- i ~ pearean plays, with concerts on t alternate weeks have provided another popular feature. 1 The Central Council publishes i pamphlets which suplement the ra- i lio talks. These pamphlets are sold t 1 to schools for a nominal price. Dur- : | ing the winter term, 139,900 pamph- 1 ets were sold testifying to the pop- 1 I alarity oi the courses. ! The Central Council is an inde- i pendent body subsidized by the 1 t Bkitish Broadcasting corporation. 1 > Its chairman is H. A. L. Fisher, < t' warden of New college, Oxford, ajK» i .o:mer minister of education.

( We arrived at Lafayette, Tuesday . p. m. We registered and were soon j among the 1,700 enrolled. During the afternoon we made the round of the principle buildings which were indeed interesting. , The second day Mildred Kolde e wey and 1 gave the demonstration for Adams county, "On the Choos- - ing of Proper Colors in Dress" and ' being second on program we got to see many demonstrations such as packing school lunches, making sandwiches, washing dishes proper- ;l ly, bathing and dressing the baby, j making the bed properly, setting (lie table properly table etiquette, and many others, in fact there wen--13 demonstrations in all for girls. In the evening we were entertained at the live stock judging pi I vilian by the Purdue Animal Hus-1 bandry club which we surely enjoyed. We also saw The milk maids contest in which four girls took i part. On Thursday at the general sessions many good addresses were given. especially one that appealed to us girls was the address by Mary Mathews. Music was furnished by . the 4-H band Which was enjoyed by all. In the afternoon we saw the winners in the health contest presented by Dr. W. F. King, secretary of the state board of health and the dress review in its different phases. Then the entire group was placed in the formation of the Hoosier 4-H emblem the four-leaf clover and a picture was taken. t Thursday night was 4-H night < and pictures were shown of what i 4-H boys and girls have done. f On Friday we heard the criti- i elsnis of the demonstration teams f. which was indeed very helpful. 1 While Adams county did not rank c among the prize winners we are t proud of our score ranking in the I 90's. 1 Mary I. Barber gave demonstra-, i tion on getting the adequate break-IS fast for children as well as adults.

We also heard a most wonderful I address by Carolyn Shoemaker, | J dean ot women, the subject was, J "The Girls of Today.” All the time! these demonstrations and talks I were given for girls at other build- I ings demonstrations and talks in- I terestlng to boys were given as J well. I The climax of tlie entire weekjl camo Friday night when over 1,000:1 boys and girls gathered for the 4-H I banquet. The toast mistress was I n club member for nine years and I won several national trips, wo were I furnished with wortderful enter- I tainnients during tlie banquet. I We arrived home Saturday after- I noon, tired but imiffiy girls. | It is impossible to put an esti- I mate on the value ot such a trip I to a club member. I Many thanks most be given to I our county agent, Mr. Archbold, fori tiie careful consideration of the I boys and girls trusted to his care, I also to Miss Erma Gage for her I motherly attention to the girls tin- I der her supervision.
