Thursday and Friday —two big days in Decatur—Twin Dollar days —when every merchant will have something special to offer you. Keep your eyes open this week and read the advertisements in this paper. They will save you money. Looks like 1932 will be a big year politically and the boys are getting busy even this early. District and county meetings are being held and those who have their eyes on the nominations are building fences in away that makes us expect some leal fireworks next year. Nine pedons in Indiana lost their lives over the last week-end and that number will probable seem small when compared to the next cue. A double holiday means more traffic, more danger, more loss and there is only one thing to say—be careful. A report from Washington says that there was about three billion dollars worth of spirits, wines and beers sold “in the United States last year. It leads all other lines of industry according to the report ■which is a considerable showing when we take into consideration that its illegal and is supposed to be done under cover. In 1919 the steam railways in Indiana were assessed at $638,651,570 and the electric roads at $69,987.250 and had 277,255 automobile licences. Last year the railroad valuations had shrunk over a hundred million dollars and the electric lines to $25,000,000. This year wilt see a further drop. There were last year, however, 875,453 automobile licenses issued which accounts for some of the loss to the railroads and indicates somewhat that there must be some radical changes s-con in the tax problem. Leonard I’. Ayres, famous business forecaster, points out in the current Business Bulletin of the Cleveland Trust Co., that the bottom of the present depression was reached as long ago as last December, as far as industrial production is concerned. Unfortunately, Colonel Ayres admits that we are still bumping along on the bottom. Furthermore, he points out that recovery depends on so many involved factors tiiat. there is no way of

telling when prosperity will return. However, his announcement is at least slightly soothing. If we can't be told that things are getting bet- *■ tor. it Is something to learn that >, they aren't going to get any worse. ' Comparatively few automobile ;• accidents are caused by criminal r recklessness of flagrant errors on the part of the driver. Most of “ them are caused by little mistakes I) —by allowing attention to stray ■ from what you are doing; by for--5 getting to slow up, or neglecting to j look both ways at a busy interseci lion; by being in just a little more of a hurry to get somewhere than tlie occasion really demands; by becoming irritated or impatient at i the actions of another driver. These are the kinds of things which driv- | ers are doing all the time. In most ; cases, nothing happens. But sooner , or later the right combination of circumstances arises, so that just a few seconds’ inattention, or just a little too much speed in the wrong , place, puts you into the path of another machine. The careful driver | I controls himself as well as his car. I He refuses to allow scenery, con-1 versation, a wrecked car by the I, roadside or the person in the back L seat to distract his attention from j the road. He governs his speed! according to traffic, weather, and highway conditions, curbing his im-1 patience to get there, or his irritation at the poor driving of the man i ahead. He is actually safer under the most dangerous traffic, weather! or highway conditions than is the I inattentive or irritated driver un-1 der the safest driving conditions. —!
