Senator Borah says he isn't even going to attend the Republican national convention. Perhaps it might be wise for the Democrats to extend him an invitation. These are tough days to show pep but don’t forget that those who keep up their courage and continue to try, are the only ones who will succeed. The next month will be a busy cne tor the politicians for during | that time will be held the state and rational conventions with -all the committee meetings necessary to mike them apparently successful. Many fatal accidents are reported as a result of the double weekend holiday. We preach a lot about being careful but it seems we always feel that applies to the other fellow. At the rate the millionaires are j lalling out of windows, it is not r surprising that many believe the stories that these are accidents, are given out for the benefit of the i family more than the public. Nearly a hundred and fifty thou- , sand people attended the speedwayraces at Indhnapoiis yesterday and i’ is estimated that total receipts ; were something near a million dollars. Who said we were broke in this* land? , The Decatur Junior band will open their concert season here this evening, providing delightful enter- , tainment for many. The young- j sters have improved greatly the past year and you are assured of worth while programs. Memorial Day was duly observed I 1 hel e' and many took part both in the exercises and in quiet remembrance of loved ones who have answered final taps. Hundreds visited the cemeteries and watched tile parade and listened to the services. It is a great occasion rather " than a holiday. The tragic death of Isaac Chronister, pioneer citizen of Decatur. Sunday morning, has saddened many who knew him as an honest and industrious citizen. He served] s a member rZ the city council -some years ago and was of that rough and rugged honesty that brought the admiration of his constituency and gave him a record of merit.

ventions are held their. If they succeed it may change the minds ot many as to the need of a change of the eighteenth amendment, and more than, that, it will be the first 1 evidence that a real effort along that line is being made. Delegates ' will not be discouraged, we predict. They broke a lot of records at , the speedway yesterday, a few ma--1 chines and there were plenty of [ t bril's. Its the greatest sports 1 event in the world and many people i come hundreds of miles, some of them thousands, to see the forty tars drive at breakneck speed over the rough, brick track, for the hundred thousand dollar purse. And this year was no exception. We doubt the advisability of congress passing a two billion dollar relief measure. More than half the amount is to be spent for public

buildings, which while fine to have. <lo not furnish much work for local tradesmen. At least that was the experience here and if the same plan is to be followed, we would say the country would be far better off without the buildings than with the added tax, at this particular time. Hoosier Democrats will go to the rational convention uninstructed. ]it is said, which is well. The I thought of every delegate to that important session should be to select the candidate which he believes will best serve his nation in this turbulent time. Many have not definitely decided in their own mind who that is and they should have the opportunity to make up their minds, after they have fullyconsidered those proposed. It won t be long now. Some time labor acts foolishly |and to the detriment of those they i wou'd serve. At Indianapolis the other day an electrician was discharged from the Circle theater. Immediately that show house and ithe Indiana, a two million dollar theater were declared “conditionally unfair.’- Saturday some one placed stench bombs in the houses, causing every one to leave and the management announced a close- , down of both places indefinitely. As a result more than 125 men are out of employment. This is a good < time for every one to use good judgment.

GERMANS BUILD GIANT ELEVATOR Berlin —tl'Pl— A giant elevator ■ for ships will shortly be tJompleted j | near Eve.swalde. north of Berlin, as . an aid to traffic on the H henzol- ; lern Canal aud the Ober, connect-1 ■ ing the capital with Stettin, on the j Baltic. This imiDctant waterway ha.-j in recent months, been partially i blocked by the fact that the lacks by which a difference of 36 meters j is overcome at the juncture of the i canal and the Oder, have been func- i tioning to>a slowly to accommodate the traffic, and the huge barges . were forced to line up and wait ' sometimes a whole day. When one ; ' of the four locks began tb deteriorate, threatening further delays to ■ j traffic by its repair, if not complete i | interruption, the plans f:r the ele-1 I vator, which had been on- hand in I I the Ministry bf Transportation since 1926, were dusted off and the 1 building of the mammoth lift begun ■ j last year. The elevator is a triumph if tech-1 I nique. It stands 60 meters high, a, | framework of steel and concrete, . with a huge trough leading from i the canal. The barges are drawn *by nr .-tor into the elevator car. . which c- n.-ists of a giant trough 85 by 12 meters and 2M meters deep. , It can hold 2,600 tons of water and 'can accommodate a boat and cargo ■KnKMMHMMKai 1 Adult, 25c; 2 Adults. 35c; Children, 10c, Tonight THE ADAMS - Last Time Tonight -I . “NIGHT COURT” ! with Phillips Holmes, Walter, Huston, Anita Page, Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt. .

weighing an equal amfaunt. The entire time for passage of a ship from canal to the Oder, or vice versa, will be 20 minutes, a vast improvement on the time required by locks. The actual lowering and raising wljl require five minutes. The elevator is s» finely balanced that it can be perated by two men. Power is supplied by electric motors operating an ontiicate system of cogs.

OLDER METHODS SURPASS NEW ON N.C. ROADS State’s Engineers Solve Many Difficult Problems Raleigh, N. C„ M*y H.— <U.» — Despite the fact North Carolina’s great paved highway system Is practically completed, engineers of the State Highway Commission must continue to devise pioneer road-building methods to meet new problems in construction. The state’s highway system and its construction have been studied at various times in recent years byengineers and other states and foreign nations. Still another achievement had been added to the state's record In road-building with construction of a treated timber bridge, covered with asphaWic concrete, over a 'sunken state highway which runs I through the Pasquotank River I swamp between Elizabeth City and I Camden in northeastern North ICarolina. “Floating” Road Engineers faced a perplexing ' problem when the old paved highway through the swamp became a so-called ''floating" road, with waters often covering the highway to a depth of three feet. The stretch of road through the swamp is 8.900 feet in length, or approximately a mile and a half. Os this distance, all but 2,500 feet have been bridged. Construction l has been carried on intermittently as funds were available for the past five years, at a cost in excess of $200,000. Engineers solved the problem of making the road accessible throughout the year in the following man- , In all of our messages —through the newspapers and elsewhere, the paramount thing must be the truth.

Aristophanes

Stands Bewildered

Aristophanes remarked of women, 2300 years ago. “They dip their wool into hot water, according to the ancient plan, all of them without exception, and never make the slightest innovation. They sit and cook as of old. They carry upon their heads as of old.” Could you summon Aristophanes into our today—he would stand appalled at the speed of women’s present innovations.

Just about everything you are accustomed to becomes outmoded, discarded, in an incredibly brief time. Ways of cooking, serving, traveling; of keeping clean, healthy, beautiful, young—these are the modern tasks, “as of old.” But science in alliance with factories and kitchens keeps new ways coming along so-fast that poor old Aristophanes and those soft-sandaled women wou'd be breathless with keeping up. Yet you are used to swift change... used to comforts that a short while ago were luxuries... that a little day from now will seem Grecian-quaint themselves. From advertisements in your daily newspaper you reap news of these ways to Jive healthfully, richly, advantageously—young!

Sit and cook as of old? Carry upon your head as ol old? No, you carry in your head knowledge of the best that is buyable. Advertisements give you easy, happy surveys of new ways. Glance over all the advertisements you can, every chance you have.

ner; Concrete caps, on timber piles, were sunk along edges of the sunk er. concrete road. On these caps was laid a superstructure of timber, and on the superstructure a road way of Umber was built and cover 1 i d with asphaltic concrete. . This raised the highway several feet, putting it above the average] {high water level. Traffic Uninterrupted It is interesting to note that traf- ] tic was never disrupted during the ] construction of the long bridge. i This problem was solved with! |use of a temporary wooden bridge' jas a detour, routing traffic around i jan 800-foot section of timber superI structure under construction. Ma t ' terial in this detour was accurately J [cut and was used repeatedly. The asphalt concrete was placed' ■ ■■
