Only five deaths in Indiana over last week-end due to automobile accidents. Can it be that we are really trying to be more careful? That's the only correction of it. Indiana was proud to entertain the President of the United States and we are sure he was glad to come out where fried chicken is never a luxury and where we know how to be hospitable even under adverse conditions as at present. Improvement of the Willshire road has started and it will be wonderful to have a smooth, dustless highway until such time as the state takes it over and paves it which will come in the next few years. And next week the Democratic editors and their friends will put on a party at Gary with Senator J. Ham Lewis, Mayor Cermak of Chicago, Nellie Taloe Ross and other leaders on the program so that you may expect ready answers to what the republican bosses are saying in Indianapolis this week. State highway No. 16 between here and Huntington will be given the new oiling system immediately so as to make it a better thoroughfare for the travelers. The road has been in bad condition the past few- weeks and the state commission has ordered it repaired so it will hold until next year when it is expected it will be paved. France furnishes the first terrible steamship tragedy of the year, Saint Philbert sinking in the Loire river with four hundred aboard and only a few of that number were rescued. Most of the victims were poor people who had been having . a day of pleasure at picnic grounds across the bay. It is reported as the worst disaster of its kind in the. history of France.

j tor renomination tor United States senator which assures a campaign of interest for this old boy is a professional at it and knows just '• how to fool the voters. He has •. done it some forty years now, but of course remembers that about every great fellow went to the well ' with his broken pitcher once too often. j According to the statement by ) Mr. Swimmer, local representative ’ for Anderson Company, contractors > for. the new postoffice building J here, it is their earnest desire to 1 employ local men whenever possible and at satisfactory wages, which seems to be about all that was asked. It remains only that i they carry out this assertion to satisfy the folks here. We cannot warn the children too often or too much about playing in . the streets or crossing without looking both ways. The usual ■ driver of an automobile is careful while driving through city streets i but occasionally some fellow sees how wild and wooly he can get and its almost a miracle that there are not more accidents than there are. Its unsafe to play in the streets and old and young can not use too much care when crossing. President Hoover has come and gone. He made a fine speech, meeting the dominant subject of the hour —the business depression —in a manner that convinced every one that he recognized its seriousness. The lamest part of his address was when he attempted to show what had been done to relieve the situation. There the administration has unquestionably fallen down and there must be greater effort if we are to speedily get over the illness of the past year. Fine words may create enthusiasm in a meeting of republican editors and politicians but they do not mean much unless some action is taken. When the proposition comes up next year as it will, the voters will measure the words largely by results up to that time. i 1 The government is finally getting down to business with Al Capone and he will soon start a prison sentence which may continue a lifetime. It took them a good while to get to it but they have been in earnest it seems the past few weeks and have landed not only the leader but his lieutenants and followers, have stripped him of his j[>ov.er and money and his rule is no doubt over. Some youngsters will spring into his place, probably, unless the government keeps up their methods of recent weeks. They will get away with it until they conceive the idea they are bigger than the government and then if they live that long, will get theres. Its some game of thrills. o— ———— Household Scrapbook * By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U-R> ♦ A Duter To make a dustless duster, satu- > rate a piece of cheesecloth in a solu- , tion of two tablespoonfuls of kerosene in a quart of hot water.
