Decatur Lions Club Makes Good Record in a letter just received from I Melvin Jones, founder and secre-! I tary-general of Lions International, I the local Lions club was commend-1 ed on the work which they accom-i I plished during the past year. Mr. I Jones states that, in his annual re-) port to the International convention of Lions clubs, which was held in Toronto, Canada, last month, he was happy to be able to include and give recognition to the part 'the looal Lions club played in the ] association’s program of service. The record of their service, as I taken directly from Mr. Jones' re- | port to the convention, is as follows: "Decatur —Organized a club baseball ‘earn and an American Legion junior baseball team. Sponsored business confidence week. Invited all underprivileged boys of city to a Christmas party. Organized and maintained a Boy Scout troop. Distributed 2,000 safety first book covers among school children. Organized a baseball team for entry in ] the American Legion junior baseball league. Ten membership reports received; ten on time." An accurate record of activities is maintaitmd at International headquarters which shows that, during I the past year, 16,625 activities have I been reported by the 2,500 clubs in i the association. These activities , have for the most part fallen under I the following general classification . Blind work, boys’ work, child wel- : fare, citizenship, civic improve- , ment. cooperation with other agen- ' cies, education," farm work, public I welfare, and safety. Presumably because of the increasing need for service work toI day, 3,108 more activities were reI imrted for the past year than have ! ever been reported before. — o t High Maternity Death Rate The maternity denth nite in tin t United Slates is higher than In an\ r other civilized country.

Washington, D. C —ls you should I hear chuckles, loud and long, borne] on the breezes that sweep in from the seas, don’t lie alarmed. It is not the rumbling that precedes a Syclone—it’s just the United States) Navy giving way to the mirth that! tickles its collective left ventricle. The Navy thinks that it has a perfect right to laugh out loud because its claim to existence was vindicated recently in the Mount Shasta affair. Since the first successful flight was made by an airplane, the question of its efficacy as a weapon of war has been freely bandied between those who regard the plane as the ultimate in war machines and a dissenting few who are for the old tried and true methods. According to General William Mitchell, former Assistant CJiief of the Army Air Seiwide, armies jjnd navies are absolete as a fiffiF'nn'o of defense. The next war. he asserts, will lie decided in the air anil he has proceeded to give a bloodchilling description of what a few bombers could do to a city or to a navy in a very short time. General Mitchell's assertion received wide publicity all over the country and wan made the subject of many, many editorials, some of which screamed for aerial pre-

♦■ ♦ > Rcppert School News The members of the school and! the faculty, led by Col. Roy John i son. made a plgriinage to the Peter i lebman dairy farm, 5 miles west j of Decatur Wednesday.

Mr. Lehman gave an interesting and instructive talk on "Pure Bred Cattle and What It Means to the Dairy Business." After the talk he'

tparadneHs while others advocated! ' scrapping the entire Navy. "Why,” they asked, “build a bat-] . tleshtp costing millions of dollars i to have it sunk by a bomb from I an airplane built for a few thou-! ' sands?" To sink a battleship, they I i eeemed to think, it is just neces-1 Bary to glide gently over it, release your bomb and just sit back ! and watch the ship go down to . keep a date with Davy Jones. Needless to say, the Navy got hot under its uniform collar at the - impression of its helplessness that I as being broadcast, but what could ■ I It do? ■ Then came this affair of the -] spread all over the seas wherever > Mount Shasta and the grin that -a U. S battleship floats. The ! Mount Shasta was an obsolete, i army transport that wouldn’t pay f fcr breaking up. so the Army deI to us? it as an illustration of •’l’what a bomber could do to a ship • i in the event of war. i : Aicxxirdingly, a squadron of - Ijomhers set out from Langley : j Field. Va.. loaded with destruction > that was to lie dropped on the ! Mount Shasta off the Virginia -I Capes. But the first hitch in the »i program was when the planes failt ed to locate their victim, and they t had to return to their base, balked -1 and tired.

( invited the class to the milk house ] where everyone enjoyed Mr. Leh-. man's hospitality, as they imbibed freely in drinking Guernsey milk! from pure bred cows. William and David, sons of Coi., I Guy Johnson of Columbus, Ohio, ! entertained the crowd at the aucItio nsale Wednesday night, when they rendered several selections on' their banjo and accordian. Col. C. B. Drake of Mazon, 111., had charge of the class yesterday afternoon, instructing in automobile auction methods. 1 Col. J. J. Kinman of Erlanger,

| The Navy grinned knowingly, but the airmen only set their teeth ] and determined to make good. They tried again and. after a long hunt, finally succeeded in placing ] their intended victim. Then the fun l started —for the Navy. In gorgeous array a flotilla of bombers i flew over the doomed Mt. Shasta I and laid their deadly 300-lb. eggs, miracle of miracles, she remained afloat. Mont of the bombs ’ ) went into the sea, close to the | ship, but two made direct hits I j without the terrible consequences I predicted for the poor Mount Shas--1! ta. ’ Finally the air destroyers ran out of amunition and were com- ' pelled to return to their base, . , leaving the “doomed” ship still ■ afloat, in possession of the battle- - field. f Next day a former Navy tug- ) boat, converted into a cutter, the j Carrailasset, nonchalantly steamed ; up close to the Mt. Shasta and, •; with a few well-placed shells, sent i the ship to tjie bottom. ’ i So now the war is on, all over i again. Th** Navy has earned the ■ right to laugh by proving that it -1 is far from obsolete, and the Army ’) is feeling a little less sure of the I superiority of its air force over j he old methods o flighting.

From there he will go to the National Swine Show at Springfield, Illinois, which will be held in conjunction with the Illinois State Fair. Col. Pettit has been here since) the opening of the school on August 3. He had charge of the voice culjture department. There are 31 i members in the present class and i suffice to say that Col.

COTTON CROP HOLIDAY WILL t: BE DISCUSSED 8 h .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) — n bition of cotton growing.” o “We are deluged with favorable 1 0 ( replies," Long said. "I am sure we P are going to work out some plan of a salvation for the cotton farmer. If id they will adopt my plan we will I have 15 to 20 cent cotton ih twoL weeks.” The plan, according to Long, is 4 i tor all 14 of the cotton growing: jstates to adopt laws forbidding the - raising of cotton next year. He/said he had considered the consti-! tutionality of such an uniform law ’ j and found it could be enforced. |j It will be necessary for each state! to call a special session of its legis-' f lature to enact the law, but if! "some of the weak widow-women! exi cutives don't call the session,! 1 then we’ll appeal to the farmers in those states to hold mass meetings * and force action," Ixmg said. ( "It would be far better for farm- ' ers to quit work and go fishing for 1 a year, or enroll in some of the 1 night schools arid learn what’s go- 1 ing on in the world, than to try to eke out a living from cotton next ! year.” o Excavation Reveals Roman Jig-saw Puzzle London, Aug. 21.—(U.R>—Excava-! tions beneath the new building of the Royal Bank of Canada in Loth- j bury, E. C., have resulted in the, discovery of an 1,800-year old jig- , saw puzzle in Roman pavement. , Many pieces of the old puzzle ( are missing, but there has emerged ( a picture of the substantial house ( of some Roman citizen. Archeologist are now studying the jigsaw puzzle and other sec- . tions of teesellated paving found in the area. — o Chinese Population Placed at 474,787,000 Peiping, Aug. 21.— (U.R>— The lat- , est census of China, compiled by ' the ministry of the interior, shows the population to be 474.787.000. j This is 15,04)0,000 less than the post I office estimates of 1926. Due to disorders in several parts ’ of China at prtsent, the latest estimate is considered approximate. 1 Dr. Warren S.

SLAIN WOMAN UNIDENTIFIED (CON’nNUED FROM PAGE ONE) Chicago, where Philip Russo, a' wealthy merchant, told police he; believed the woman might have been his wife, who disappeared to the woman's identity came from July 30, 1930. Russo’s wife, Jean, was 38 years old and was well known as a radio singer. Ruseo said he had never found any clue as to what became of her. He said her description tallied almost exactly with that of the dead woman except that his wife’s eyes were brown, while those of the slain woman were said to be blue-gray. The body was found by Mr. and Mrs. August Bundesguard, and Mrs. Lillie Mitchell, of Silver Lake, who were on an early morning fishing excursion. They notified Dr. B. A. Mitchell, who said the woman had been dead about six hours.

The body was found 100 feet from the home of Jacob Faber, a farmer. Faber told police he had heard no disturbance during the night. Officials believed the body was hurled into the ditch from a speeding automobile. Dr. Miloslavich said there were signs of a terrific struggle before the woman was murdered. He said she had been attacked. o English Princes Show Preference for Wings London, Aug. 21. —(U.R) —The royal brothers of the House of Wind sor prefer plain food and have a special liking for chicken wings. The Prince of Wales almost invariably orders plainly-cooked chicken wings when dining at a west end restaurant.

The dish was cooked in champaigne and served with hearts of artichokes. 1 [ For a quick pick-up of new energy Eat a ALMOND CARAMEt, BAR ill F- —■—■—— 'WS
