Some wise cracker has figured it out that the difference between Coolidge and Alfonso is that Coolidge “didn't choose to run.” Twin Dollar days next week will he just as large as we make them. The more enthusiastic we all are, | the more so will the patrons be. We wonder which is preferable, the proposed extra session of congress or the depression. It got worse during the last session, we rem mber. Its only kindness to say that the the present economical conditions have not come about with the President's approval for he is evidently a candidate for re-election and its not the best propaganda. If, as Charles Schwab says, the tide is coming in. all we need is some one with strong lungs to blow on it so the proper sp ed will be reached. President Hoover will come to Indianapolis, June 15th, go back to Mar: n, Ohio, the 16th and then recross the state for the third time on his way to the burial place of Abraham Lincoln. It is not impossible that on one of the trips Jr might pass through Decatur. It didn't take Mayor Cermak of Chicago long to tell lit 3,000 city employes who went on strike that if they didn't want to return to work there were thousands willing to lake their places and that settled the walk-out. Summer is just around the corner and its safe to buy your straw ] hat. light weight tygs and those things you need for the hot weath-1 er period. And there is no place i where you can do b< tter than in i tile Decatur stores. A number of merchants are planning to take advantage of the Twin < Dollar days next week by extend-1 i ing special bargains and announc-1 ing tlie fact through this paper on our special proposition. If there is sufficient cooperation these can be made the two largest trade days known here in a long time.

I A deficit of more than a billion dollars tor the United States government this year is enough to give the most optimistic politician a • headache when he realises that he must step forth now in a tew • months to explain it on the stump, provided he is partisan enough to • desire four years more of the Hoover brand. ' If the stock market doesn't steady ) soon it will be interesting to stuJ dents of inatht matics. A lot of i them are in the fractions now. Os ' course if we knew just what would weather the storm, a fellow could take off some easy money, but don't forget its the greatest gambling game in the world and there is no sure thing at any time. Mr. Schwab says the business tide is headed inward and from now on we should quit worrying for its going to be easy and Mr. Babson says good times are here but it will take us two or three months to discover it. Its pleasant to hear these great men say these things and we are all willing to be fooled that way. so let the good tidings come right along. Rev. Franklin of the Methodist church will have a special message for the soldiers of all wars tomor- | row and the public is invited to attend the annual Memorial Sunday service. Veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World War will be there, a part of the main auditorium being reserved for them and there will be a program of music for the occasion. If the decision recently made by the supreme court of Indiana stands as it seems likely, the state may get through without a large increase in the tax rate, notwithstanding th' fact that the legislature increased the appropriations by some five million dollars. Os course the public will pay it indirectly but it won't seem so hard to take perhaps. The railroads will ask for increased rates which looks foolish to the average layman at a time wh n the business is slipping rapidly to trucks and bus lines. If the freight and passenger rates continue to soar they will soon reach a place when the only business they will have will be through Pullman trains and the coal and steel haul. The owners and managers have no doubt thought it all over seriously but surely there is a limit to the amount that can be charged. o f ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS I |; Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two i r ! •> , 4 1.

TEACHERS WIN IN LAW SUIT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The case will be set for trial in Madison circuit court alter the Elwood school board has been given time to prepare for trial. The local suit is viewed as a test case, which probably will go to the state supreme court, whoever wins. court supported the contention of Oswald Ryan, attorney for the teachers: 1. That dismissal of a woman teacher because she is married does not constitute “good and just , cause" under terms of the teachers’ tenure act, and 2. That such action by the school board places a stigma upon marriage which is illegal as against public policy. Judge Baltes held that a woman does not lose her individual status when she marries, any more than does a man. He propounded the question whether the board would have the right in the case of a teacher under the tenure act, to base its action upon the civic condition. rather than upon neglect of duty. "To say that the board may discharge a tenure teacher for causes not within the law. and that such
