Won’t that be nice? Roy D. Chapin of Detroit Is now secretary of commerce. All he has tc do is put business back where ii was a few years ago and he can have any doggoned thing he wants. We'rwthat way in this country. It Will be interesting to know whether Governor Leslie thinks he was right or wrong in calling the special session and the probabilities are he will say something about it shortly after the session closes. One-eyed automobiles, those with only'-one light operating, must go. according to the state police. They are dangerous on the highways and drivers who fail to comply with the orders now being given, will probably have to explain in court. The city health board has been inspecting this week and report a fine general condition. A few lots where the weeds need mowing, but almost every where there is a desire >to keep properties looking thir best. That's the proper sjjjjit rnd Reserving of real praise. „ Stocks on Wall street continue “to increase though no one can un“derstand why, even Bill Rogers •who knows about every thing hacking to admit that its beyond him •-when values increase ahead of pro- • fit showings.

With the „uncertainty as to the laws enacted “in the special session and the constitutionality of these, officials •don't know which way to turn. "tThey should have the earnest and - incere cooperation of every good • citizen. Decatur is having an unusual • number of loiterers these days and • Mayor Krick is seriously consider~ing recommendation to the council • ot an ordinance similar to the one Xnow effective in Fort Wayne which “makes the stragglers move on or “accept due punishment. There is no desire to be cruel or inhuman . but there is a limit to what any

community can do under conditions us they exist now. • "i Looks as though tho voters are just catching on to the fact that most congressmen have been putting the names of relatives on payrolls and drawing the salaries, although this has been the practise for years. Twenty-three have been defeated or refused to run and in most instances that was the big criticism. Don't worry, we will be able,keep men or women to take the SIO,OOO job and agree to not accept extras. The Democratic committee will meet some lime during the next ten days or two weeks to select a candidate for Judge of the Adams circuit court. This meeting cannot be held until Dick Heller, county chairman, can return from his duties as chief clerk of the legislature which will probably be early next week. - As soon as he arrives home he will make the formal call. In the meantime the candidates will keep in touch with the committee members, t'nder the law the ticket must be filled by September Sth. sixty days before the election. Newspapermen over the middle west and especially those affiliated with the Daily Inland Press, have learned with sincerest regrets of the death of the secretary of that organization. Will V. Tufford. of Clinton. lowa, publisher, who for thirty-two years has served as the motor that ke.pt the Inland alive and going. He was optimistic always and during the past three years when publishing a newspaper has been uphill business as has about every thing else, his letters every few weeks have been inspiring and helpful. The fraternity will miss Wil! Tulford in manyways. It was probably hoping for too much that an Indiana legislature should get through without a bobble but few people can understand why they would listen to the ravings of those who would bankrupt the •rUtfei, *bd every tax paying unit. The $1.50 limit for taxes is of course impossible and various complications will follow unless some method is discovered to nullify it. i For instance that would mean $1.35 net as fifteen cents must be paid to the state and in this city the school tax alone is $1.37. That means we start off two cents short on the hundred dollars and besides must meet bonds, which is about forty cents, keep up buildings, pay officers and take care of all other expenses. Reducing taxes is one thing hut repudiating debts and obligations is quite another, that never gets any one any where. Its time to quit “horse play" and get down to real business. Such acts as this only cause inconvenience and useless expense. *

film version of “State Fair.' In the first place, this picture now definitely becomes Fox’s contrihu-1 tion to the ill-1 star cycle! started by “Grand Hotel ” j With Rogers and Janet Gay-1 I nor in the cast, 1 | ahd with more j important player s to follow, “State Fair” promises to be one of the im-!

portant specials of the year. Secondly, the casting of the cow i boy comedian leaves a plain infer- | ence that he and Fox either have ' reached a new agreement or will do | so in the near future The old Rogers contract, calling for $225,000 a picture, will be up in September. Meanwhile, author Phil Stone is in Hollywood helping to adapt his best-seller for the screen. Henry King is t* direct. And here’s another echo of that reported engagement between N ancy Lyons and Harry Bannister. It seems the young lady tripped and fell down several steps on “The Kid from Spain” set. Everybody rush up asking how it happened. Eddie Cantor flipped: “Because she had no bannister to lean on.” BOULEVARD TALK.

Synopsis “Marriage is like reading a novel without suspense. No matter how charmed you may be at first with the words, a sustained effort demands little surprises, little moments of not knowing what's going to happen,” Pamela WaiTcn informed her lovely, young niece. Patricia Braithwait, as they basked in the Palm Beach sunshine. Eight years before the wealthy Pamela had married handsome Jimmie Warren, and. in spite of an overwhelming love, their marriage had palled. Pat is shocked to learn that her father has lost his fortune. Aunt Pam suggests that Pat insure her father’s and her own future by marrying the wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine, warning that the glamour of love wears off. Pat goes to an isolated spot, alone, to solve her problem, where she meets a handsome young man who only reveals his first name—Jack. He tells her of his plantation, “Eagle’s Nest”, where he hopes to go some day with the "right” girl. CHAPTER FOUR The beach was utterly deserted. They were alone in an empty world. Even the cars beyond the hedge had ceased their eternal procession. Cloud tatters drew together above their heads, banking softly, whitely and very low. Great clusters of palm trees impinged plumes of green fire upon the pale blue. Here and there a royal poinciana stretched strong limbs, its feathery foliage like swarms of green but- ' terflies hovering about the lavish * outpouring of vine and blossom. A cooling wind released the tranced verdure, and all the countryside ; shook with happy silent laughter. Abruptly she noticed how near ’ they lay together. It gave her a 1 sense of guilty intimacy. She want- ’ ed to move, but dared not, lest she , break the spell that held her. A ' single move might fling her back 1 into the smashed world from which 1 she had emerged. If only by some witchery of this aloof and quiet loveliness she might be forever imprisoned in its embrace, so that there could be no return to that lucid ugliness where men and women schemed and plotted against beauty. If only he would say. “Come with me to my Eagle's Nest above the sordid troublings of life ” She caught up her thought, startled by its significance. A deep blush suffusAi her face and she lifted suddenly on elbows cupping her chin in her hands, her eyes on the high road lest he should see and guess the cause of her agitation. What nonsense 1 am thinking. As if there could be peace for me which did not include Daddy. And for the old there is peace only in freedom from poverty. Money is needed to buy beauty for them. And all my life he has givdn me beauty. She sat up. The spell was broken. The incredible future was waiting. All the beauty she had felt had been a delusion—the last delusion of childhood. . . I’m a woman now. And the way has been laid out for me. There’s no escaping it. He watched her narrowly, sensing her return to the trouble that had brought her to this lonely spot “Troubles unloaded on a friend never seem quite so heavy,” he said, giving her a look of intimacy and appeal, like a small boy asking roundaboutly to be allowed to carry one's books from school. How strange he was. And how nice. An urgency swept her to tell this stranger, who was not a stranger, all that troubled her—this man who had come to her out of the I sea to be “a friend by the side of the road.” She spoke without turning to him, her voice weighted with passionate rebellion. “I’ve discovered ! that life is just a nastiness covered I over with sm 11 in g s behind the hand." 1 She stopped short, ashamed of

her outburst. But the grey eyes that met her own were grave. He lighted a cigaret, blowing a blue streamer into the thin gold air. I Then: “Is it as bad as that?” he asked gently She made no reply, i and after a brief space he demand- 1 ed: “What do you do?” *.i Her small fair face was sullen. She answered bitterly, gazing into 1 space, “Dance, golf, ride drive, swim, chatter, flirt.” “An appalling array of occupations,” he said with an irresistible laugh in which, against her will, she joined. “Isn’t it?” she agreed, trying to maintain her sense of bitterness, but aware of a sharp lifting of the spirit, as if their laughter had blown her troubles behind a veil. What was the mystery of him which left her without conviction in her own troubles? As if her outburst had been the dramatic spouting of lines previously rehearsed, lines which, appearing most dramatic in rehearsal, were flat and bombastic wh n spoken aloud. She felt shy and childish and wanted to change the subject. “You—do things?" she asked, stealing a glance at his curiously i contradictory hands. “1 have done things,” he said, I "Many things. Now I’m sort of tak- , ing stock.” She rose with a sigh. “I must . go.” I “I’ll come for you tonight,” he i said as they turned up the beach, . “and we’ll attend the opera of the • sea.” She nodded. Isn't he going to ask ; my last name? Nor tell me his? | How will be find me? She had a pang of fear. Did he really live? I Or was he mt rely the Spirit of , Romance, having no true existence? 1 Was he but a beautiful play-boy ; created by all the millions of girls r who had hungered for romance and been defeated by monstrous, inr credible life? 1 When they were even with the i tent, he stopped. “Won’t you come s in and see how luxurious I am?” > Untying the flaps of the tent, he f lifted the curtain for her. With a little thrill she stepped ino side. An army cot, an array of - canned goods, stacks of paper i plates . . . books, an nil lamp and a i folding stool. Oh the neatly spread e cot a volume of Gibbons' “Rome” lay open. So quiet. So simple. No f rushing about of restless discon
