Shoppers were here and stores were busy throughout the day. Larger crowds were here today and both, merchants and shoppers declare the days as successful. With few exceptions, Dollar Day was city-wide and nearly every merchant joined in the plan of giving exceptional bargains to the shopper. The old dollar purchased more Thursday and Friday than at any other time. It seems that the public and the merchants like these special sales days. They mean activity; people are drawn here on account of the values obtainable and the sales days help to advertise Decatur as a great trading center. The suggestion is made that the Merchant's Association inaugurate a monthly sales event here. One merchant declared that the average shopper received more satisfaction from the sales days than from the drawing days, whijjli, due to government regulations cannot be properly advertised because they hint of a lottery and suggesst that hint of a lottery and suggests that new plan to draw an I please the shoppers. » Other towns are inaugurating special sales days and these suggestions are made with, the idea of being helpful, of assisting wherever possible in helping to build the merits of Decatur as a trading center and to create that feeling which will work to the mutual benefit of all. From the lack of enthusiasm it looks as though there would be no Fourth of July celebration here this year. It should be understood that the suggestion was made in good faith, by Rev. L. W. A. Luckey of New York, a youthful resident here, sixty years ago wlieji the Court House corneY stone was laid and his idea was not a noisy and boistrous celebration but rather one of education and instruction v.iith a parade showing the changes during the three score years. His offer included liberal prizes which he was willing to furnish. However. with the annual street fair and other events under way it is probably just us well to postpone the event until another year when the preparations could begin earlier. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, always an occasion cf unusual interest for it is the day set apart for

| commemoration of dead. Since i 1868 when General John A. Logan, then the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued an ' order designating May 3l)th as a . day when the graves of all depart- • cd veterans qf the Civil War should be abcorated with due ceremony, ’ this day his been so observed, r Thu beautiful and Inspiring custom ( grow until if included veterans of I all wars and of all the dead. In Decatur an appropriate program i I has been arranged, business will ' cease and the occasion observed ijin the manner for which the hullI day was declared. Twin Dollar Days in Decatur have been successful in every way. i The shoppbrs came and were pleased. That makes good will and shows a spirit of cooperation that should work to the advantage of every one. And these are times when tiie more we work together the better it will be. We can’t have dollar days every week but we can keep stirring and moving and thats the difference between a “dead" burg where they "take it on the nose" and a live town where they go out and do things. Kendallville is working out a new parking ordinance and it might be well to keep in touch with its success. They propose a two-hour limit on Saturdays and a threehour limit on week days and the P' lice will be ordered to rigidly enforce it. In all towns the size of Decatur the matter of parking double and trippie is becoming serious and something will have to be done. The proper solution requires sotne thought and a, lot of good horse sense. The Junior Band has been fuming music during the Dollar Days and their concerts are appreciated. The organization under David Rice, the leader, has progressed to a point where they can entertain any audience with excellent music and they do it when ever called upon. You can still take advantage of the Dollar Days. The stores will be open tonight and you can secure many excellent bargains in each oi those participating. And after it was too late the judge in the Kirkland case was informed through the prosecutor that the attorney general holds that the minimum sentence is five to twentyone years instead of one to ten. They convicted Kirkland of assault with intent to comfnit a crime, and from all we have heard he came near accomplishing »it. ""hat a travesty. —o ♦ — « I .

It was very cold and we suffered some hardships about 30,000 feet. The barograph kept rising and at one time I thought we would never stop ascending. "For a moment,” lie added, “I felt we were between life and death. When we were a little above 16.000 meters (about 52,500 feet) ♦he baioon stopped and then be gan descending slowly. It finally dropped to 5,000 meters (about 13,100 feed) in iiti.e more than an hour. At that altitude we halted in our descent without apparent cause. It probably was due to the warmer temperature, expanding the gas. "After sunset the cooler air enabled us to continue the descent, but we were faced with the danger of winds forcing us against the t mountainsides, which might have 1 proved disastrous.

were lucky to land on the glacier and not far from habitation.” Piccard Indicated he and Kipfor would remain in Gurgl for two or ► three day*, supervising the packing of the delicate instruments carried with them in the aluminum hall under carriage of the balloon. He said the landing at 11 p. m. Wed- - nesday night was made easily and that no damage hud been done to • the balloon. It wjil be transferred from the glacier to imst by truck and thence by train to Augsburg, Bavaria, starting point. The professor, in fact, was a lit tie irritated by the fact that anx- • iety had been aroused over lack of word from him during Wednesday night and yesterday morning. He seemed to feel that just because they had not landed back in Bavaria as originally planned, or on the northern Italian plains as subsequently considered, had been no I cause for the concern which the mystery of their whereabout caused during tiie night and early hours yesterday. Piccard’s elation was shared by ’ Kipfer. “•"The greatest altitude was reached between 4:30 a. m. (33 minutes after the start) and 7:00 a. m. Wed hesday,” lie said. "In that time the balloon varied in altitude only a few hundred yards and we had a wonderful opportunity to make observations of the ionization of (the air and in regard to cosmic rays. “Our oxygen apparatus worked perfectly and, despite the low temp erature of the stratosphere it was ■ never below zero within the gonI dola. I never felt tired.” Piccard revealed that exhaustion of their oxygen supply was one of the factors which forced them to land on the glacier in the Oetz valley near the Austro-Itaiian froni tier. Hans Fallner, the village school ! master who led (he first rescue party to reach Plceard and Kipfer, . said Piccard had told him they I might be compelled to leave the aluminum gondola on tiie glacier. “Professor Piccard told me the temperature outside the balloon in i the stratosphere were 55 to 60 degrees centigrade below zero, but that inside it was 41 degrees centigrade, due to the heat of tiie sun’s rays on the painted side of tiie undercarriage,” Faltner said. “They drank water gathered on the cabin sides after their supply had been exhausted. "The heat inside was terrific, despite the fact they tried to keep the unpainted side toward the sun.” The temperature, 41 degrees centigrade is more than l«5 degrees Fahrenheit. Piccard telegraphed his wife in Brussels: "ft was a magnificent flight. We met great difficulties in the stratosphere but able to land on high mountain at 9 p. m. Attained altitude, did everything according to program. Abie abandon ■ stratosphere only after sunset. De•scent most difficult, took 16 hours.” He intimated he would not stay ‘
