It is proponed to dredge a deep entrance channel from Lake Michigan to Indiana Harbor, at a cost cf about two million dollars. This will provide work for several thousand men in that section and be a starter towards that end in the middle west. The stock market investigation I s shown how a lot of folks made I money without working but it also discloses that those who kept up. the game came to a place where they lost just as much without working. Personal property dropped a million dollars in Adams county this year according to the appraisements I y the township assessors, whose work has just been completed. Os course this is largely due to the reduction in values. It represents about one-fourth of the total. • Hoys who destroy property about the city parks will Ire punished, for destruction, always wrong, is more so now in these days, when every one is trying to be careful about expenses. Its a bad habit any way boys, sf> the sooner you cease, the better it will be for ( you and every one. Among Speaker Garners boosters are W. G. .McAdoo, an ardent dry and W. R. Hearst, a wet. leader. He seems to be ace high with each of them and we wonder which would be the first to disavow him. Each of these men have a maftner of getting off the band’ wagon unless every thing goes to suit them. The speed kings are warming up at the Indianapois speedway, getting in condition for the big annual race. Next Monday before a record breaking crowd, even with a depression on. some one will pull down a fat prize and every one will hold their breath while lies doing it. Every one is happy that Amelia Earhart Putnam succeeded in her solo flight across the Atlantic. Every time one of the flyers starts < n this perilous journey, th? folks all over the lend become rather nervous and that grows until the flash comes of the safety of the aeronaut. Mrs. Putnam is the first woman to have accomplished this and is the only person living to have twice flown the great ocean.

Decatur Is to have a peddlar* license and soon it will be necessary for those who thus solicit busInns, to set-cure a license if they so engage. During the past few 1 months this city has been literally tilled with solicitors, peddlers and ■ ethers who make housewives keep : up a continual answer of the doorbek', besides interfering with local > business. They should pay someJ thing if they expect to conduct bus- ; iness here. Every local concern 1 does, so why not the stranger who i i doesn't care any thing about you? 11 < - George Dale and nine of the police force, of Muncie, including the chief, have been found guilty of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. They will appeal to the United States circuit court, it is announced but thia will doubtless not avail them of their freedom. If the case was a "frame up" as Dale claims, it was done with sufficient skill, that the jury found them guilty and the higher courts will probably not go back of that. We do not believe Mayor Dale committed any wrong intentionally but he was perhaps the victim of bad company which frequently occurs ir. city politics these days. Its a tough game. Through the Red Cross, a ship- ' ment of 2X5 barrels of flour from I the government is expected to arrive in a few days. This will be distributed among the needy, through the United Charities in tliis city and the township trustees over the county. It is estimated this is a ninety-day supply and when it is exhausted, more will be received. Each person is limited to the amount they can draw and every one should lie as careful as possible, thus assisting those in charge in carrying out the purpose, to assist those who really are deserving and in need of this commodity. This is being done al! over the country and millions are tints being furnished with the material for making the staff of life. o # * Household Scrapbook ROBERTA LEE 4 ■■ ■ ■ - ♦ Freckles A good remedy for freckles is to bathe the face in fresh bnttermllk. Or. mix two ouncei of sour milk, or butte milk, with two drums of g.ated .horseradish, and six drams of cornmeal. Spread this mixture between thin muslin and apply to the affected parts at night, leaving on as long as possible; but be careful not to get it in the eyes. Cream for the Coffee When cream is not stiictly fresh it sometimes will curie slightly when 'poured into the coffee. This can be av ;ided by adding a pinch ; of baking soda to the cream before serving.

By HARRISON CARROLL CoOTrlibl. 1,32. Kin, lei'urM g..ndt«l« Inc HOLLYWOOD. Cal., May 00.— ! Most novel idea to come out of Hollywood in a long time is R-K-O’s • _ plan® for "The —, Phantom of Crestwood." an original mystery >?■' ; story by Bart- , let*. Cormack. | ■' «- Before this thriller is made I®' ’ into a picture, it w® will be broad-1 ' cast over the ■gjjjttr** country as a ' radio serial.

Merian C. sered prizes to I Cooper supply this and ! the prize-winning deductions will be written in as the finish of the pic- i lure. To my knowledge, this is the first instance of a screen story being written deliberately for a preview over the air. The exploitation value of the idea should be enormous. R-K-0 wili have a known product when they go into production. “The Phantom of Crestwood” will be a Merian C. Cooper production To date there is no cast or director chosen, but Mr. Cooper and David Selznick promise the best to be had For picturesque phrasing, 1 submit Spencer Tracy's description of a certain difficult period in his career. “My pants were so thin," admits Tracy, “that I could sit on a dime and tell whether it was heads or tails."

The Advertisements printed for your convenience Suppose all the advertisers in your favorite newspaper should stop advertising for a week. ♦ What inconvenience would result! How much telephoning and shopping around to get the answers to such questions as: “What’s playing at the downtown theaters? When will that new vacuum cleaner he on sale? Who is offering shoe bargains? Where can I buy that dry shampoo Emily told me about?” The answers to these questions, and to hundreds of similar ones that people ask every day, are news. \ ital news. You’re interested to learn who won yesterday s ball game. But you’re really interested to learn that a certain store is selling a product you need for a price you can afford to pay. Furthermore, the advertisements save your time, for you can read them quickly. They save your energy, for you can read them at home, away from the pushing crowds, and plan just what to buy and where to buy. And they save your money, by enabling you to adjust your needs to the limitations of your budget. In short, they are pocketbook editorials, condensing and interpreting for you the merchandise news of the day. » Decatur Daily Democrat I ' !■! I ~, HI I 11. ■——— III"" — -
