Fall, disgraced secre-1 -tary.of the Interior in President - Hattflng’s cabinet, is declared too -ill th'go to Washington to be com-1 “mitted to prison. Little wonder .that Fall is at low ebb. His case “shouM be an example for getter.“atioirt. A man who sells his honor • has nothing left to live for. -• One merchant remarked today ..that last Friday was the biggest “salewday he had since he Saturday! "before Christinas. There’s no use “arguing the question. The public “will buy when it knows it’s getting •"bargains and an extra effort is • made to increase business. In fact we're all shoppers and like to buy • new things. , A railroad company makes a •practice of printing the following “i n its salary receipts: "Your salary ’’is yotr persona! business —a con“fidenUal matter—and should not be —disclosed to anybody else.” One -of t/ie new employes, in signing i •this receipt, added: "1 won’t men•tiou it to anybody.

His wife wiil act “as co-pilot and of course everyone | 'hopes and prays that no harm will ome to these famous and brave I 'people. • Mortimer Schiff, banker and phil-1 •onthropist, died yesterday at the | of 54, too young for a man «f i ,Jiis w< rth and ability. He recently : Aras elected president of the Boy I "Scouts cf America and having a ’ “great fortune, gave much of his [ “time and money to benefit society! “in general.

"Decatur is also adding to its pres-! v>nt water supply by drilling a new, -well at Water Works park and the j

council is doing the right thing in seeing that the public is protected against a shortage of water. • The banks throughout the country have oversubscribed the SBOO,- • 000,000 federal loan nearly eight 1 times, applications for the bonds ■ totaling six billion dollars. The new issue, the largest since the Liberty bonds, pay three and onei eighth per cent, a reduction in the • interest heretofor paid by the government. Even at the reduced rate > j banks and individuals clamored to i! get the bonds and Secretary Mellon I! was wrong in his contention that jt h o floating government bonds I would depress the bond market. Prices are still high. "" Property owners and tenants affected by the closing of the alley at the rear of the buildings on South Second streett, between Liberty Way and Jefferson street arc ! right in demanding that tjje alloy I ibe opened and made passable. As ■one man pointed out to the council. I a heavy rain would cause great ! damage to the stores, because the water could not run away and would back up in their stores. A more t I serious danger is in the event of a fire. It would be impossible for | • the trucks to get to the rear of the! buildings and we believe that the j. contractors on the post office job i ' will readily see the need of clear i j ing the alley at once. Ij Twenty-one young men and young I ‘ women will be graduated from the I Decatur Catholic high school this,! f veiling, a memorable occasion in the lives of the students and an 1 1 < important one in the progress of ( the community. This is the ninth i ■ annua! commencement of the Cath-l] dice high school and the class this ■ ear is the largest in the history ■< lof the school. The Rev. Father J. I I |J.

SUBMARINE IS , PLANNING TRIP ' (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) cutter The subma- ’ rlne was in command of I.Jent. ! Sloan Damanhower, U. S. N., re- | tired and Sir Hubert. £ ] Shortly before the Nautilus sail- : ed from here last night affer sev- ! oral stanurdization surface tests, Commander Donald B. Macmillan, ’ himself a veteran of many success ] 1 ful voyages into the Arctic, pre-; ' dieted the expedition of Sir Hubert “ext reinely hazardous." MacMillan, who plans to explore ' the‘North Pole regions this sum 1 tner by airplane, said that if the ‘ Nautilus becomes caught in a "lead” or ice crevice, it "will fiatten like a cardboard box.’, Lieut. Danenhower said the Nautilus, transformed from a war ves--1 sei to a ship of science at a cost of more than half a million dollars, ! had proved “very satisfactory” un * der several speeds in the tests off , Wood End. Approximately 20,000 gallons of I fuel oil was taken aboard shortly ' after the tests, enough, according I to one of the officers, to cruise 5,000 miles. Provisions and other supplies were taken aboard at New Ixindon, Conn., before the subma- ! tine put in here. The Nautilus will be under escort ;as far as the Grand Banks, off j Nova Scotia. From there it will ‘ continue on a lone voyage across ■ the ocean. At Spitsbergen, three more scientists will join Sir Hubert and his party and enough supplies will be I taken aboard <o last six months..

The submarine will then head directly into the ice packs. The craft is provided with special fee-boring equipment which will enable it to proceed under water during most of its trip to the pole region. According to present plans, Sir Hubert will proceed directly from Spitzhergen to the North Nolo, and then proceed tinder the ice Cap to Alaska. o New Legislative Record Phoenix, Aris.— (U.R> — Arizona holds a national record for the number of extra sessions of its legislature in proportion to the age of the state. Admitted to the Union in 1912. Arizona has had 10 regular sessions and 12 extra ones. The number of extra sessions probably will he raised to 13 during this summer.
