Clarence Darrow appeared in a Fort Wayne this week and several ministers met him in discussion of religions views in a public forum, c So as we have heard no one chang- t cd their views. 1 Roger Babson says-that business t is thirty-nine per cent under the p normal stage.which means its a { heck of ways below what it was in j those good old days when every t one had a job and could get a couple ( of more any time he wanted to. f 1 The Republicans now’ have eight candidates for the governorship race, which ought to assure a good attendance at next week’s convention, some old fashioned log rolling end a deadlock that will give the < dark horses their chance. f Get readv for some more taxes in ' > Indiana. That’s what the special •session of the legislature has been called for. Os course if that relieves us from high general assessments it may be alright but usually it don’t work out that way. t The Vacation Bible School is f growing in attendance and inter- 1 est, the number enrolled yesterday being thirty-four larger than the first day. It's a good community when 257 children devote a half of each regular week-day to such en- ‘ deaver. “Contemptible commercialism" is 1 the term applied to the act of Wil- 1 liam Allen in a circus, by the may- ' ors of several eastern cities who 1 have held that he cannot appear 1 there. Allen's notoriety comes from ; the fact that he accidentally found 1 the body of the Lindbergh baby and it does look like a fake to feature him to the populace. When the American Legion meets here Sunday in reunion they will also be observing the 15th anniversary of the first draft ever made in America and which eventually called to the colors more than four million youths. June sth, 1917 was an important day, which changed the lives of millions of Americans, effecting not only those who went -to war but those who remained at home. « : Don't fail to witness the big Legion parade in this city tomor

row afternoon at one o'clock. Hundreds of Legionnaires and nine or ten drum corps will be in the line of march. It should lie an Inspiring event. The public Is Invited also to attend the exercises at Memorial Park on South Winchester street where Lieut.-Col. Cole of Findlay. Ohio, will give the principal address. Welcome the boys who fought for the old flag here tomorrow. They are good fellows. Chicago has a school girl who seems to be a wonder. Although out eight years old she has finished the eight grades in two years. Her principal, however, has ruled that ' the is too young to enter high I school and instead of promoting I has ordered her to start in again ' next year at the fourth grade and do it over. Her name is Joanna Xenes and her parents can neither speak or write the English language. Governor Roosevelt will pass upon the Walker case when it is propirly presented to him by the legislative committee, which certainly seems fair. He cannot be expected to do so because of reports published in newspapers or otherwise except in the regular legal manner. Don't think the Governor hasn't the nerve, even on the eve of a convention at which he is to be the favorite for the nomination for the presidency and his decision will, we predict, meet the approval of the public, whose confidence he holds. Baseball won't ever be the same with old John McGraw out of it, especially for the New York Giant fans who for years have watched the veteran direct plays from his bench in the dugout. For two decades he won consistently but of late, he hasn’t been so successful j and whether its eyesight or wisdom. he finally had to give way to. a younger man. Bill Terry, the < team’s first baseman and a good diamond general will take his place. I . i If he can make such a record as McGraw has, he ought to be well satisfied and so had the fans. Mayor George Dale of Muncie and his chief of police. Frank Mas- 1 sey, must serve eighteen months each in federal prisons. Others of the Muncie police force will serve fn.m sixty day* to a year in prison. ' Dale and Massey must also pay one thousand dollar fines. That's a tough break for these men who have been trusted with public as- < fairs and especially for Dale, whom we believe was made a “goat" by those who took advantage of his ambitions to serve their own desires. In other words we doubt if Dale ever received a penny for any favors he may have given, but he perhaps misplaced trust in some who did. Dale had the confidence of thousands of people not only in Muncie but over the state and the result of the trial is a disappointment to many of them.

RESOLUTION Resolutions of the Decatur Min- • isterial Association, to the memory of our departed brother and fellow-minister, the late Rev A. R. | Fledderjohann, who departed this life May 12th. 1932. We do not know when or how soon we, too. shall be called out ‘ of life into eternity. We do not , know whether it will be sudden I I death or a prolonged seige of sufI feeing and pain. Or how much of 1 heartache and pain and sorrow our loved ones will have to bear. But we are glad that God, in Hfs mercy, stands ready to help in time of every need and has prom- ■ ised to go with us even unto the I very end. "He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” His grace is sufficient for every trial, and we believe that. "Yea. though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." carries with it a message to the sorrowing and sad today. Rev. A. R. Fledderjohann was first of all. a Christian Gentleman. He was a leader of exceptional ability and was equal for every task. He was never hasty in ■ making decisions, but was careful to weigh every matter prayerfully and render a decision in fairness | to all. He was a wise counsellor ! in things religious. He was diligent in the work of the ministry. No detail was overlooked in his administration. He often spoke of the interest we ought to take in our home life. We believe him to have been a master homebuilder. He was man among men. An upright and noble citizen. A man of God in every respect. . Therefore, be it resolved: 1. That we shall miss him. We loved him and his godly example shall ever be, before us. 2. That we pray God’s richest blessings upon his family and upon his congregation which he served so faithfully. 3. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Fledderjohann, one to the Daily Democrat and another written in the minutes. Decatur Ministerial Asso.

o Expert Urges Trolley Cars Be Streamlined Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) Trolley cars can and probably will regain their place in the transportation world by adopting the modern methods of streamlining, in the opinion of Felix W. Pawlowski, Guggenheim professor of aeronautics at the University of Michigan. Professor Pawlowski, who recently completed a series of tests with “wind-tunnel” models, believes adequate streamlining will enab e interurban cars to speed 90 and 100 miles an hour. The Michigan professor said it will not be necessary for trolleys Ito adopt weird designs—like that of a cigar or sish —to obtain the least possible wind resistance. His tests have proved he said, that trolley manufacture res need only to streamline the front and rear vestibules.

CHAPTER FIFTY The bubchen was well. He was chubby and blooming. He reached for the crystal beads around Lily Lou’s neck, and pulled on them sturdily. But he didn’t know her. Oh, he didn’t know her! Mrs. Jensen came and took him from Lily Lou’s arms, and he reached his little hand, and put it on Mrs. Jensen's shoulder as she bore him away. Lily Lou wept. “Pshaw!” Mrs. Jensen said, “don’t you care! They never know anybody really at that age.” Lily Lou was not comforted. She told Tony about it when he came in to see her that evening. “Sure, he’s too young to remember. Let's eat and you’l feel better,” he said. He had with him a can of antipasto, two tins of anchovies and a long loaf of Italian bread and half a pound of Swiss cheese. She made coffee and they feasted. “Too bad Maxie is out. Shell miss the party.” “I can't be sorry,” Tony said, with his mouth full of bread and cheese. “I know you don’t like her. But she’s been such a good friend to me, Tony. Where do you suppose I’d be living now if it weren’t for her? And, oh, Tony, if I just had enough to hire someone to take care of the bubchen here Maxine would even agree to that! And there aren’t many that would, now, are

there, Tony?” For answer he swore in his native Italian. Then he got up and began to pace the floor, waving his arms, muttering to himself: “To think that I—that I would cut off my right arm for you—” “Tony!” “Don’t stop me, I adore you. Yon know that. Always—from the first And now this hellish poverty. Bills, debts, bills! Nothing to offer you.” Lily Lou’s mouth twitched. She didn’t know whether she was going to laugh or cry. Tony, poor blessed, darling Tony. .. . He loved her. Not because she was pretty or because she had the beginnings of a career, but just for herself. She found her eyes filling. “Tony,” she said gently, “it does not matter, do you see? Because all that—all love—everything like that—is gone for me. Dear Tony, I loved the man I married, and I couldn’t ever —couldn’t ever—” “You still love him!” “Yes. I suppose so, Tony. Not that it matters.” “After all that is past you can still love him?” “Yes, no matter what he did, it doesn’t matter, because he’s part of me.” She went through the want ads in the papers. But if she did get a job it wouldn’t begin to pay for her lessons, with Gwin or anyone else worth while. And how would she eat and what would the bubchen do? Better to have given up—stayed in California. But if she did that the baby ... No, there was no going back. She’d have to go on, somehow. She borrowed SSO from Wanda Pillsbury, hating herself for asking, hating herself for taking it, hating Wanda for her air of “I never expect to see it again, but I’m kindhearted and can’t refuse—” ♦ That melted in 10 days, what with her share of the month’s expenses in the apartment, and the woolly rabbit with the floppy ears that she couldn’t resist for the baby. It was well along in September

They meet in a two-story frame house, which, with the arrival of summer, is becoming too confining. They are now seeking funds for a tract out-of-doors, in which they can build healthier bodies. — o Vonnegut Is Candidate Indiam.ills June 4—(UP)—Announcement of candidacy for repub lican nomination for lieutenant gov ernor on a “wet'' platform was made here today by Theodore B.

now. Gwin came in twice a week, and after the first of October she would work with him every day, and would be able to take the weekly check Conscientiously. If she could just hold out until then ... Mrs. Jensen’s 250 was due on the twenty-first, and there would be extras besides, perhaps 212 or >ls. She had started work in the ' Metropolitan chorus, three nights a week for rehearsals now, and soon it would be every night. Dramatic lessons, too, and Gwin told her it was time she took fencing and dancing . . . watching her with b that glitter in his eye. . . . ’ “What’s the trouble today?” “Nothing. It’s just that I'm j overwhelmed when I realize how unprepared I am—even for the little parts I’m likely to get thia sea- ’ son if I’m lucky—” t ! “What did I tell you when you came here a year ago—all ready to sing Butterfly, and a few other big r roles?” “I know. But I didn’t realize * then. How eould I? When I look back now and think of the hopes • I had and how easy it seemed to 1 realize them when I had only a smattering of languages—” c “You mean when you knew no 3 languages and couldn’t sing EngB lish correctly—” J “Yes, and when I think of all the 1 other girls I’ve known — lots of ® them not so young as I, nor so—--1 so pretty—striving—and hoping—e Oh, Gwin, aren’t you sorry for e them? For all the girls who want

to be singers, and are going to fail? Aren’t you sorry for me too? I am—l could weep for all of us—” He had been sitting on the piano bench. He rose now and took her gently into his arms. “Don’t say Gwin —it’s ridiculous. Say Dwight—” “Dwight, then—it doesn’t matter, does it?” He held her off at arm’s length, studying her. Her sweep of dark, waving hair, her fabulous lily-like skin, her dark brows, her full scarlet lips. “Yes, it matters. It matters a lot. You’re not altogether a foot What’s the answer going to be? Oh, you don’t have to give it now—this minute. Think it over, that’s all. I’ve got to know.” Lily Lou walked home, prepared her dinner and Maxine’s. Canned spinach with a poached egg. Nourishing and cheap. Her hands laid the table, broke the eggs into the boiling water, scooped them out with a serving spoon. But she hardly saw them, hardly '■ saw what she was doing. “Oh, gosh, spinach!” Maxine i sighed, coming into the kitchen to sniff of the signs of food. “Well, ; never mind, I’ll eat it. But let’s : have that can of plum pudding you were going to save-fob Thanksgivi ing. I could stand the spinach, if I i was sure of the dessert . . . well! ’ You’ve been crying. It’s a real ! tragedy all right, if you shed a tear. > Tell me, has little Kobin got i whooping cough, or did your voice leave you?” I All that night Lily Lou tossed in t her bed. In the morning she rose ■ at six, to go to Jamaica Park to , see the bubchen, before work at the studio. That would help . . . i would help her to decide. When she , held him in her arms she had cour- ; age . . . courage for anything . . . ■ “He’s growing out of all his • clothes,” Mrs. Jensen said, “and I don’t know as I can keep him this t winter or not, because I’m thinking • of getting married again . . . yes, » ma’am, and while my husband ain’t 5 opposed to children none, not if > they was his, that is, still he don’t want a houseful of other peor pie’s— ■
