That's something to look forward to. National Chairman Farley takes issue with President Hoover on statements made in his recent acceptance speech. That was to be expected but the Democratic leader is asking some questions that the opposition would prefer not to I answer and some that won't be. Saturday was the 13th and not so good for the boom. Stocks went est several points, Germany had her financial difficulties, Ray Graham suicided and a lot of things happened. indicating that prosperity is having a time getting around the corner. Never mind, its coming. The city of Anderson will solve its problem of reducing taxes by holding only eight months of school instead of nine. That may not be popular but seems to be necessary and it is probable the plan will be followed in numerous places. It is going to take some real sacrifices so we may as well get ready to take them. It will be interesting to watch the various taxing units over the state of Indiana and to learn hownear they can actually come to meeting the $1.50 requirement. If there is an honest and genuine effort, we may be surprised at wliat we can do that we have thought all along we couldn't. ■The poll of votes being taken by tlie News, Dayton, Ohio, was almost startling. It gave the first weak. Hoover. 69: Roosevelt, 269. and Thomas, 47.

A car driven here by a World

A car driven here by a World War veteran and covered with many signs, chief among which and each side of the car was one reading "Don't vote for Hoover, we won't,’’ attracted a lot of attention the past tew days. It may not cut much figure but it will probably worry the political bosses for it is said similar cars are now being driven all over this country. Any way we are off for another | week and it depends much upon ithe enthusiasm we put in our own i work. The business man who gives the greatest attention to his shop or store, who advertises and interests the public, will keep right on showing a profit, even though it may and probably will be less than usual. Keep that chin up. Local politics will begin to hum soon. A meeting will be held soon we are informed at which the Democrats will decide upon the activities for the September and October campaign. There will be the usual speeches and rallies and every effort to get the issues to the I voters. The Republicans will plan i similarly no doubt and it won't be long until you will have every opl portunity to listen to and discuss the .questions of importance and I the candidates. In a few hours the special session of the legislature will close. It will be several days before we will know just what did happen. No doubt a number of good changes have been made and in all probability several bad ones have become laws. The one that will cause much discussion is the $1.50 limit on taxes and while that will be serious in many cases, it may | he after all the one that will awakI en every one to a sense of responsibility that will eventually take the state out of her difficulties and prove helpful to the tax payers. ■ We always work through some way and we have no doubt we will in this instance. The "keep the tramps on the move’’ ordinance sounds good. City Attorney Fred Fruchte is prepar-* ing it now at the request of Sheriff Johnson and Mayor Krick and it will be presented at the next meeting of the city council. During the past few weeks this city has been I literally filled with loiterers, who-j beg and use evety method they can j to secure alms. We have sympathy | for these down and outers but that j does not mean that there should I not be some system whereby we can sift the worthy and the unworthy. Other cities have taken the precaution to thus* protect their citizens and have found it beneficial. Decatur must do likewise. o r RADIO PROGRAMM » • Monday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1932 by UP. Central Standard Time WEAF. NBC network, 3:30 p. m. , —Andy Sanne’.la and Orchestra.

SYNOPSIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad and now—Palm Beach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela in forms her that Mr. Braithwait’s fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middleaged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warning her that love fades. Aunt Pam’s marriage with Jimmie Warren — handsome, young lawyer—was beginning to pall in spite of the ardent love they had had for each other. They still cared but the routine of married life had made them “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating y out g camper, who only reveals his first name. Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another. Pat discourages future meetings. That night, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat. stressing the point that his one advantage is the faet that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her father, who lives for Pat alone. His financial predicament is largely due to the gradual caving In of his plantation. His honesty prevented him from taking advantage of an opportunity to sell the property. Braithwait tries to belittle his difficulties to Pat, but she realizes he is just trying to shield her and that Aunt Pam was right. She accepts Blaine's proposal. CHAPTER NINE After dinner she hurried to her room. She could not decide what to wear. It seemed a matter of high importance. She changed three times. Finally settled on a blue georgette embroidered in padded rosebuds of pink satin with stems and leaves of green twisted ribbon. Crystal beads glowed like dew on the soft petals and foliage. The blue of her eyes, the gold of her head were deepened by the enchanting frock. She smiled wistfully at her reflection and began dramatizing herself, finding therein a strange satisfaction. She could hear people saying, “So young and lovely. How could she sacrifice her young life to that man—even for her father!" Absorbed in the ravishing figure in the mirror, she felt the terrible pity of it all, and pondered over her own indifference. She must be a very determined person who, having decided, no longer even felt sad over it. . . . Arthur Savage phoned up at ten o’clock. “Come on, Pat. The music has moved to the ball ream. The gang’s collecting.” Blaine was watching for her at the foot of the stairs, and her glow of gallant martyrdom expired. . . . She descended slowly, a very sick little girl. But Arthur was also waiting. In a swift dash he caught her, whirled her away to the ballroom, leaving Mr. Blaine to stare after them. In and out among the dancers they swept with a rush and brilliance that threatened continual disaster, but never achieved it. “I’m going to dance you to death tonight and bury you tomorrow so no other man will ever get you, you beautiful thing,” he said savagely. His whole body shivered with increasing violence, his feet cutting high capers. Handsome dark face downbent, eyes glued on his feet, he appeared lank, absorbed, grotesque. “Glorious! Do, Arthur. Go faster.” To go faster. And faster. So that the slow pace of the old man she had promised to marry could never catch up with her. . .I’ll die if he touches me. . . .” “If Jack comes I’m going to tell honor of superintendency of Re-1 formed Orphans Home.

him everything,” she decided defiantly. So pleasing was this picture of herself as a martyr in Jack’s eyes that she grew pleasantly melancholy. One night at least would be hers, a night of moonlight and dreaming beautiful foolish dreams with a young man. One night of romance. And perhaps—who could say — strange things happened in life..,. S l\e drew in. her mind’s eye a highly imaginative picture of Jack swooping her up like an eagle and sailing away over housetops and tall forests to a mountain craig— The Eagle’s Nest. Then she smiled at her own childishness. “Am I in love with —a strange young man, met —by the side of the road? . . . Oh, absurd. . . .” To Warren, watching her from the semi-darkness of the veranda, it appeared that as an exquisite canvas takes on new beauty under each tentative stroke of an artist, so with each move she took on new grace. Pamela joined her husband. “It must be very trying for Cousin John to keep Pat as he does. Fortunately she’s beautiful. Harvey Blaine just whispered to me as a secret, that she has promised to marry him.” “Harvey Blaine! Good heavens! Twenty years older than she is, with a face like a horse.” “His face is of no importance. He’s enormously wealthy.” Swept by a confusion of emotions, Warren turned back to the dancers. “By heaven!” he thought, “she shan’t be sacrificed!” It would be no easy task to force his money on her proud old father; but somehow he would find away to save Pat. * * * Women in pastel frocks and men in flannel trousers and black coats gave to the big palm-clad ballroom an appearance of impossible bloom Birds in cages cunningly concealed among ornamental bowers of green, and deceived by the brilliance of the room, sang loudly, their high sweet voices lifting clear and triumphant above the bombastic orchestra. Now and again a couple would dash through one of the French I windows onto the verandas; but for j the most part the girls never ■ stopped dancing, going from partner to partner as the young men. ranged around the walls, would cut in, thus causing a general change. The older people sat outside in rockers, resting between dances in the soft fragrance of the moon-flooded n\ght. Patricia’s energy was amazing. I Her color was high; her eyes feverI ishly bright. Never had she appearled more lovely. “That child has been dancing two | hours w-ithout stopping. She needs a rest,” said Mr. Braithwait who stood near Warren. He crossed to the window, and catching Patricia's eye after a moment, motioned to her. Instantly she deserted her partner. “My dear,” said Mr Braithwait as she came through the window, “I apologize for being a selfish old man to take you away from pleasure to have ar. ice and a little chat i with me. But 1 had no taste for a solitary drink.” Knowing that the old man had called her for no other purpose than to stop her from dancing, Warren was surprised Instead of reproving and dictating to her to rest, he had turned it into a courteous request which complimented and commanded her. Snuggling one of he r father’s arms against her she said, “Perfectly right, Dad urns. Two hours are much too long to—go without I an ice.” “You see how she sees through I me?” chuckled Mr. Braithwait.

“Come. Jimmie, let’s find Aunt Pam." Patricia said, “and we’ll have a party. I saw her leave the ballroom on the other veranda a little while ago.” She caught his arm, and holding her father close, became intent on falling into step with the two men “I think I see the shine of hei dress. I hope that handsome old Deacon she was dancing with isn’t making love to her while I, like the villainess in the play, surprise them by bringing her husband on the scene.” “Aunt Pam!” she called, "your husband approaches,” “Thank you, Pat,” laughed Mrs. Warren. “We just Khd time to untangle our arms.” Pamela Warren, having no ear for the sly wit of her husband or the whimsical humor of Mr. Braithwait and Patricia, was adept in the art of sopH(stieate<i banter which passed for humor in her set. Her distinguished companion, who had obviously been engaged in distinguished conversation, flashed a surprised glance at her and looked at Warren in some confusion. “Oh. don’t be disturbed. Carroll." Warren said. “A lawyer lives by entanglements, and views them as an undertaker does death — neces sary circumstance.” “Mr. Carroll, you’ll excuse Mrs. Warren, won’t you, while she has an ice—with her husband?” asked Patricia with assumed dubiety. “Certainly. Certainly.” Mr. Car roll was a protagonist of cleanliness and felt that this proper sounding conversation hid improper suggestions, “I’m afraid he was shocked,” chuckled Warren as they walked away. “We might have asked him te join us,” said Pamela. “I arranged my question so he wouldn’t, in case somebody did ask him,” confessed Patricia. “We are going to have a party, not a lecture. Let's have it in the lounge. jA grill is so grimey, grubby, grue- ! some and—oh heavens, I can't think of ancther alliterative word.” “Gregarious,” supplied Warren. “Perfect. Grubby and gregarious really express it fully. I nol-pross ’he other words. You see I’ve heard of the laws, Jimmie. Nol-pross means kick out. doesn’t it?” “Something like.” Their entrance created a little stir ■ among the lounge idlers. Patricia ! was sustained by youth's infallible i refuge — the secret conviction that I the future must contain the mitacle ■of a tall brown young man who I would immediately ask her and her I father tc elope with him from the [hidecus alternatives of poverty or , Blaine. All evening she had conjfidently waited. She still waited. As such, she was thrilling!y aware of the admiration their entrance had aroused. Her approving glance swept her courtly old father and the big fair boyishness of Warren; rested pleasurably upon the languid exoticbeauty of her cousin in a simplymade gown of gold cloth. “The buzz is for her,” thought Patricia. But recalling the picture her mirror had presented of her own slim body risliag like the pistil,of a flower from her bouffant frock of blue veiling, she hoped that it might als-j include herself. Nut that she thought of the com par on of the flower; but she knew her gown was very becoming Her bobbed head was a whorl of curled gold A string of coral, like graduated dew drops, quivered i against the proud column of her .throat. Warren thought she looked Lke some quaint beauty of long ago who had somehow acquired the easy self-assurance of the modern girl. Pamela marked the girl’s bright face in some surprise.
