Congressman Tilson says we are over the worst of the depression but we haven't any line on this politician regarding his wisdom in looking into the bowl of luck. It seems that that sea serpent sighted by a returning fisherman off th»-e'past of Massachusetts was only 50 feet long. In the days of leal drinking the boys used to throw those small ones bacfy in.— New York Post. Cablegrams say that the financial and business skies of Europe appear much Sosier than for several years hut so far the stock exchanges denote little confidence. Don’t let that discourage you for the ticker has always been a poor barometer. Welt-any way a lot of folks are enjoying, the opportunities to bath and fish jand otherwise play in the big oilfijiors and its fine sport. When-wtnir business drags, thoy say its-» good tiling to close your desk said grab your hat or a fishpole. _ . The "hTlministration is hoping to make -n]T by the moratorium some of theHH will caused by the passim • age of the Hawley-Smoot tariff law but thSyZwill probably discover that the oifl>! way to do that is to at least rlij off the edges of the useless bit! passed by the last congress after » year and a half of scrapping and changing. Now i@re is another thing we never thought would happen—experts fell us that oysters are just as good “Or better this time of year as thay * are in the “R" months. The cjutnge in views has come from the fact that modern frigeration makes it possible to keep the oysters both in transit and in the market. The state police got a chance to work oift yesterday, receiving the news Ail the Hartford City hank robbery a few minutes after it occurretPnnd getting on the trail from every section. If they can be so orguninal as to make hank robberies'. impractical they will he worth,.more than they cor.. The small gate at Cleveland the other night when Sciinteling and Stribllng fought for the heavy-

weight championship of the world, $375,000 as compared to a million when Dempsey and Tunney met, may be due partially to the depression but perhaps more to the fact that the fans didn’t consider either one championship material. Resurfacing of Second street and several other adjoining streets will provide employment and help appearances as well as making them better for those who use them. In addition there will be the completion of the federal building, remodeling of the city hall and several other projects that will keep things going along. Really we are not so had off if we would just quit talking about it. Iu several Indiana cities a movement is on to plant native trees on vacant lots. Every town and city lias them these days and it may be a long while before there will be

. much demand. And in the meantime the trees will help appearances and will add to the value of ! the lots when you do want to dispose of them. If some one here will start it we are sure it will become quite popular within a few months. John D. Rockefeller is hale and hearty at ninety-two. He celebrated his birthday yesterday and says he never felt better and expects to live to be at least a hundred. Like Riley’s grandfather Squeers, he "has the hang of it now and can do it again.” He is very methodical in his habits and seems to be beating Father Time just as he beat the business game, doing the right thing at the right time. Marlen E. Pew. editor of the magazine Editor and Publisher, summed up the automobile accident situation very clearly in bis recent speech broadcast through arrangements made by the Travelers Insurance Company. Nothing, he asserted, but a widespread public protest against speed, reckless hoggishness, weak laws, political favoritism and financial irresponsibilities will cut down the rising total of -accidents. And he added: "Reckless drivers must learn that there is sure personal punishment for violation of road laws. Killing tnd maiming must be made expensive; speed must be regulated by law, with enforcement which means business; state and city governments must be aroused to the peril of the people and proceed to regulate traffic with an iron hand. The inspection of vehicles must be frequent, regular and rigid, and a lot. of dangerous tin junk that is now permitted to whirl along the roads at 50 miles an hour must be ruled off.”
