The word moratorium means a suspension of payment for a stated time and thats a part of the trouble of most business men these days. We hope whatever success the movement has internationally that it don't get too much headway in private business. If you are inclined to be fair we believe you will agree that the roads in Adams county this year are in excellent condition. This has been done it can also be stated tor less money than usual and Superintendent Eicher is deserving of much credit for the time and close attention given this important w ork. France and Bill Rogers object to - th* moratorium and njay know wSat they are talking about. It really has not been very satisfactory in the past when this nation tried th do something big for some <-ttier nation. We have always rerHved the dirty end of the stick some way or other and if we go iulo this it should be after wise international diplomats have passed upon it. Looks like a pretty big .jyj just to leave to congress. _ Ruth Nichols is having a tough time getting started on her transJEa ntic flight. Her plane was sfgashed when she landed at New Yttrk and then again when she faced the sun at St. Johns and in the latter accident she was badly uwugh hurt that she was rushed U) the hospital. Not a very good way and we hope she does not I make her third landing in the Atlantic if she finally does decide to make the try. Ira Holmes, Indianapolis lawyer got gay with a court there the other day and was fined twenty-five bucks. He refused to pay it and the judge gave him two days to think it over. Holmes left in a rage, saying he would rot in jail before he paid a cent but he came into court yesterday .very meek and mild and stated he had changed his mind so the judge did likewise to the extent of throwing off ten dollars. Good judgment all around. If this man Magley, who was convicted of a serious crime and then broke jail and went to Michigan where it is charged he has been living with some woman ether than his wife, can put over the idea that he has served fifteen months of his sentence because the committment was dated that long ago, there would seem to be something wrong with the laws of Indiana. Don't sound reasonable. The board of tax review is concluding fits session, having completed every thing but the totals. Its a big job, an important one and has apparently been well performed by those on the board The total will be under that of last year as might be expected this year when values are lower than in two or three decades and the working out of the tax budgets In September will be a regular mansize job. It is said that the administration is basing much hope on the proposed total suspension of war debts

for a year restoring prosperity to such a degree that Mr. Hoover’s election next year will result. We hope that every movement made ’’ towards better conditions will rer. suit favorably, no difference what j the political results. The administration is blamed to some extent for the continued depression and of course if they can bring good „ times back they will he given good 0 credit. Let 'er come. However don’t be too sanguine for we doubt 0 that the general results will be noticeable and it is probable thaf 0 there will be a hundred things J occur the next year that will effect the election one way or another, so lets don’t worry about that. i In 1929 savings banks deposits were decreasing. The American Bankers association was told by its savings committee that the total had dropped $195,000,000 in

. the twelve months ending ylth i June. 1929. Everybody with money 1 to save was buying stocks. Then j came hard times, and savings be- . gan to mount again until now they ■ are exceeding withdrawals in New t York state banking institutions by 1 $20,000,000 to $40,000,000 a month. A similar trend is doubtless observable in many other commun- ’ ities. The answer is easy. The > same committee already referred I - to foretold this in 1929, in the fol I i lowing comnpent: “The most iml portant factor in draining savings - deposits and decreasing the number t of depositors has been the lifre of - profits to be made in stocks." : Should that experiment prove unfortunate, “then another year will doubtless witness an Increase in ’ savings deposits as well as in savings depositors.” How unfortunate the enthusiasm for investing in inflated stocks proved, everybody 1 knows by now. How long it will 1 be remembered is another question. —Kendallville News-Sun. > Many laymen will learn with much satisfaction that Dr. E. Starr Judd, president of the American Medical association, believes that the family doctor should remain as the foundation of medical service. He admits that the specialists have a function but holds that they cannot take the place of the general practitioner who learns all about the various members of a family, their inheritances and their physical peculiarities as well as their susceptibility to various drugs. The pendulum which has been swinging in the direction of different doctors for different ailments for several years is beginning to swing in the opposite direction. Dr. Judd is not the first to call attention to the importance of the general practitioner. Within two or three years writers on the subject in the magazines have been prophesying that the medical student who was planning to be a specialist might find that there ! would be little demand for his services by the time he was forty or fifty years old. They have been saying that the family doctor, besides knowing his patients thoroughly, was also as well fitted as most specialists to treat ailments of the heart, lungs, stomach, kidney or liver. Most sickness has its origin in some derangement of the functions of one or another of these organs and the proper treatment is well understood. One of the reasons given for the returning dependence on the family doctoi is the size of the fees charged by the specialists. This is also one of the reasons for physicians devoting themselves to a specialty.— New York Evening Post. o , Modern Etiquette | | By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U,P) • ♦ Q.

It was the first May produced by Radio when it leased a theater in an effort to pet audience reaction to its material before it was put on telluloid. Irene Rich played the role that Hiss Claire will do for the screen. The play, written by Jane Murfin, ieals with a philandering husband, bis wife’s flirtations when she discovers him untrue, and how they are finally re-united. Since Sam Goldwyn will not berin production on “The Greeks Had a Word for It” for at least unother month, Miss Claire may do the Radio picture first. If not, she will go to R.

FRIENDS' SCHOOL PROUD OF LINDY AS EX-STUDENT Plans For “Air Calls” In Far East Watched With Interest By Harry W. Frantz, UP Staff Correspondent Washington, June 23. — 4U.RM — When Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh pay their friendly “air calls’’ in far eastern countries, it is certain that no group in the world will follow their adventures with greater interest than the students of the Friends’ School at Washington. Lindbergh attended this school, in seventh and eighth grades, during 1913-14 and 1914-15, and the students and alumni naturally have been eagerly interested In his aeronautical exploits. After his successful trans-Atlantic flight special exercises were held to commemorate the event. But the Friends' School also has extraordinary ties of sympathy with the countries of the far east, because of the large number of Japanese, Chinese and Americans now resident in the Orient, who attended it. The modest brick schoolhouse on I street, In fact, seems peculiarly identified with the development of good will between the United States and far eastern countries. Famous Alumni Most famous of the school alumni is the Princess Chichibu, who graduated in 1929. a few months prior to her marriage. She was the daughter of Ambassador Matsudaira and during her school years made records for scholarship, athletic proficiency, and personal charm which have become a “tradition’’ at the school. Her sister, Musa, also attended the school and was exceedingly popular. Children of other disinguished diplomats from eastern countries have attended the institution. Julia, daughter of former Chinese Minister Alfred Sze, was there six years, and her daughter. Betty, a year, before the minister was transferred to London. The boys of former Ambassador Shidehara of Japan attended the school. Last year Nasaru Debuchi. son of the present ambassador of Japan, graduated there, and since has entered Princeton University. The ambassador’s daughter. Taka, Is now at the school. Many In Far East Among famous American graduates of the school, now well-known in the far east, is Nelson Johnson. United States Minister to China, formerly chief of the far eastern division at the State Department.

Mrs. Cabot Covllle, wife of an American diplomat in Japan, is inother alumnus of Friends' School. When a student she was Lillian Grosvenor. She is the daughter of Gilbert Grosvenor. President of the National Geographic Society. There are only a few of the former students of Friends’ School who are widely acquainted in the Orient. The list includes numerous Chinese students sent by the government, and many Japanese of official and diplomatic connections. The superintendent of Friends’ School is Dr. Thomas N. Sidwell, also its founder. The curriculum is supplemented by an encouragement to moral purposes, and particularly the cultivation of friendship and good will among the various people of the earth. Since Dr. Sidwell has spent a life-time inculcating the thought of international good will in his young charges, the school naturally lias taken special interest and pride in the former attendance of Col. Charles A. Lindbergr, now known world wide as the "Air-Ambassador of good will.” — o “Takies” of Chinese Beggars Delays Trip Peiping, June 23. tU.Pj— New difficulties have arisen for the joint Sino-French Citroen expedition which set out from Peiping this string for Chinese Turkestan, to join the Citroen expedition coming from Syra overland to China.
