Two days afterwards she discovered he was a fraud, had > nothing and was in jail for vag- , rancy in Fort Wayne. Now she is . asking divorce. It does seem that , a woman would check and double , check the fellow she proposes to marry. The American mayors are hoihewardf bound after a very delightful trip—mostly—through Europe. The boys started off a little sidewise and about every utterance they made was wrong. Then some wise person tipped them off that they could have more fun and get out better if they just refused to make speeches. From that time on they seem to have gotten along nicely. The railroad officials seem to be in earnest about demanding an increase in freight rates. It will reduce business but. they are requir- t ing the full guarantee of the government. Its a great big, serious problem. We need them but its getting a little expensive. The only other means seems to be government ownership and that would probably cost more than it "has bin.’’ Mr. Hoover has finally decided that he is a high tariff republican, he has been quite some time in I making tip his mind and seems to I be getting, the "bug" just now' when some of the most ardent supporters of the old fashion tariff wall, are doubting its value. Surely the President is not basing his decision on any results from the tariff during the past few months. The V. S. treasury owes over a

billion dollars which is a considerable change from a year ago and the serious part of it is that the income taxes will be less next year, so whither do we drift? Os course most of this will be wiped out by the eight hundred million dollar bond issues but don't forget that lias to be paid also. The HawleySmoot tariff law has certainly proven a poor stimulant. The Berne Chamber of Commerce made a splendid showing on their I trip to Fort Wayne for a friendly I session with the boys there. There I were more than a hundred men in ! the party, they traveled in good looking cars, they announced by horns and whistles their arrival and they boosted for Berne. Cooperation is a wonderful thing and any community which displays it as Berne does is sure to keep on going forward. Al Capone will probably welcome a few years in prison where he will be comparatively safe from the gangsters over whom he has so long ruled as king and with whom he has of course now lost his prestige. In that line a fellow is only good as dong* as he can win. Once shorn of power he is helpless and out of it and even may get bumped ff when conditions are right. Hid- < behind penitentiary walls the 1 rest of the crew will probably forget all about him and if ever released he can keep out of the game. He may not be so dumb. Fair and warmer is forecast for , Indiana during the next few months. Unless the areas of relative humidity shift suddenly, there will be an abundance of sunshine and cloudless skies. ‘‘Come on in, the water's fine!” will echo from the lakes and creeks. Those new bathing suits with their trick arrangements whereby nearly the entire back can be exposed to the beneficial rays . of Old Sol will clothe many a miss and matron. Getting out in the sunshine is an excellent plan, but < discretion is the better part of valor. The medical profession warns that severe sunburn is harmful. Some >»ay that ft acts as a poison on tlie human system from which it takes some time to recover. Any one that has been badly burned will readily agree. The best advice for those that are not accustomed to it is to take sunshine in small doses. Do not stay in the sun too long. Remember that one burns faster in a boat on the water than on land, and that drops of water on the skin act like magnifying glasses and intensify the action of tlie sun. Cover up at the first sign !oi redness. A skin unaccustomed I io exposure may be severely burned even when the sun seems overcast. Secure your tan by all means, but do not try to get tt all in the first few days. — Hoosier Health Herald. o * TWENTY YEARS *' AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File June 18. 1911 was Sunday. ♦ a Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say 'll was the prettiest picture I ever >aw.” Say “I have even seen.” O ten mispronounced: Nocuous.
