CRIME DOESN’T PAY DIVIDENDS: , The daring and apparent success ot the five robbers who took possession of the apartments above a Chicago safe deposit vault, spent , several hours in drilling through , the walls and the steel safe and , then got away with a fortune in ; cash, should deceive nobody. Some , would-be crooks who read of the , crime will figure the quintet clean- , cd up somewhere around $50,000 , each and will be able to live in , ease the rest of their lives. Any one who lias that idea should watch , later developments, as the men will be rounded up one by one and sent , over the road. It js comparatively easy for five .non armed and equipped with elec- > *ric drills and acetylene torches to lo what the Chicago robbers did. That is the simplest part of their task. Now that they have the i money and have escaped, each has a never-ending job of avoiding cap | ture. He knows that the ten people who were held captives know him and would recognize him. He also knows he might encounter one of them in the most unexpected place. He knows further that each of his four companions is a con slant source of danger to him. The caflTtire or treachery of one of them would mean disaster to all con- _ cerwed. There have been several daring robberies in which large sums were •* carried off by the bandits. One of — the most astounding was at the —• Dearborn station in Chicago a few years ago, when a gang got away XI. with mail sacks containing a fortuuw in currency. They lived in ~ hiding and luxury for a time, but “ were rounded up eventually. Those I —naffd eposit looters will be taken i into custody as one among them _ shares unwarranted prosperity or is-identified in one way or another. They will pay dearly for what they got. just as surely as they got it. — Indianapolis Star. In one New York county fortyfive farms were taken over by a trust company because mortgages were not paid. The farms lay idle, with good houses and stables, orchards. fields for crops, pasture, and hay. Governor Roosevelt asked the trust company what it would charg? to let the state welfare board put forty-five needy city families on the forty-five empty farms, and the

company replied: "Let them pay the taxes, no other charge.” Fortyfive families are on the farms now; Governor Roosevelt asked the mortgage title holding company "what will you charge for those farms, if the present occupants want to buy on the installment plan?" The answer was "the face of the mortgage, with thirty-three years to pay in Installments." More than thirty of the forty-five families have made contracts to buy their farms on the liberal terms. That means a decent life for the families, if they succeed, and more good American children. What about the original owners, who lost their farms? They represent forty-five of 10,000,(iOO sad stories in this richest country.—Arthur Brisbane in Today. The members of the county council devoted a hard day to diligent study and work on the tentative county budget for next year and after they get through with it no one will be able to say that a dollar is wasted. Every appropriation is carefully considered and in cases | v here appropriations are not fixed by law or mandatory, the council views the matter in the interest of the taxpayer and the public good. Following public sentiment they will endeavor to keep the budget at a minimum and we’ll vouch that they will do a good job. Adoption i of the budget will not take place i until September 20th. the session yesterday being devoted to a study ot the country's financial sheet and its various departments of govern-1 ment. A hearty welcome is extended to | the new ministers and their fam-i Hies. Within the last week three < ministers have assumed pastorates I j ot local churches and the public | joins their congregations in bidd- | ing them welcome. Rev. George |» > Walton is the new pastor at the , Presbyterian church; Rev. Glen E. | Marshall at the Church of God and ( Rev. C. J. Roberts has been assign- j ed to the United Brethren church We know they'll like Decatur, its people, schools, advantages and ; general good fellowship, always , manifested by true Decaturites. I Governor Leslie announces there will be no wholesale pardoning of prisoners and no commutations at Christmas time or before he leaves office. That is the correct policy | to follow. Most of the fellows serving terms deserve the punishment coming to them and why have courts and go to the expense of convicting them it' the governor pardons them. Leslie has extended I executive clemency very 'little and Hoosiers generally will support his stand in not permitting an orgy of pardoning before he leaves office. A total of 1.354 pupils were registered in the Decatur schools on the opening day Monday. The num her is only five short of the opening day enrollment a year ago and school authorities express the belief that by the end of the week the total will exceed that of a year ago. It's a great period for the | boy and girl and for the parents as i well and the utmost cooperation , should be extended to the teachers who ior the next nine months are largely responsible for the molding of the child's character and ideas. The world will not get very ex- j cited over the proposed war be-1 tween Bolivia and Paraguay. If these two nations want to fight it | out, let them go to it, because no ' other nation wants a hand. Troubles at home are keeping most governments busy. The first day of school is over and that's something for the boy and girl to feel happy over. o —— NOTICE Our cane mill is now operating.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyrifhl. 1 >32. King Futurea Syndicate, lac. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. 00.— Two weeks from now George M. Cohan will say goodbye to Hollywood. His first, and perhaps his . last, talking pic- • ' ture will be comics xL pleted and his ■ thoughts will be giS- 1 directed towards . ' J the coming the- i ’it atrical season jg during which he T lans to otter ' fl three plays un IW1I& JiEl Broadway. B " &NS Th e first will i K "V : flfl| be an unnamed •. com edy. which ; ( ** ' he purchased! last year; the| George M. second his own r , play, Go Eastl Cohan Young Man” and the third, Confidential Service,” in which he will act. About the talkies, the famous song and dance man is uncertain. “They are an interesting and ; educational experience.” he says. “I wouldn’t have missed them for a great#deal. But I know I would never feel perfectly at home in picI tures. And this doesn’t imply any criticism of them. I suppose it’s just a case of every dog liking his own i 1 kennel. And the stage is my kennel.” As far as Paramount is eon- i I cemed. the talkies also could be Mr. Cohan's kennel. The studio is nleased with his picture. “The Phantom President.” and would be glad to go on with the second talkie, ! j which was vaguely planned when I i the Broadway favorite came out to: Hollywood at the beginning of the , i summer. But the veteran of the White Way I yearns for the familiar boards of ( the theater and for the warming spell of applause. And so he goes back, carrying] with him the fond wishes of many i expatriated cronies and of a multitude of new friends. Hollywood will miss his genial presence. Here’s a new fable of the autograph seeker, as related by James Creelman. The other noontime the scenarist was hailed as he left the Brown , Derby. “But I'm not an actor,” he protested. “I know it." replied the signaturegrabber. “You are James Creelman. the writer.” “Well, did you ever see any picture I wrote?” persisted Creelman. “Oh no," admitted the other, “But you had Mary Brian out to lunch yesterday."

SYNOPSIS Toting and pretty Patricia Braithwait becomes engaged to wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine to relieve her father's financial situation. She hopes in vain that handsome Jack Laurence, whom she met once—and the only man she ever wanted to kiss her—will rescue her from Blaine. In despair, she turns to Jimmie Warren, her Aunt Pamela’s husband. They become infatuated. Aunt Pamela blames herself for leading Pat to believe she no longer loved her husband. The fear of losing him makes Pamela realize how much she really cares. Finally, Jack arrives. Pat learns he is the son of wealthy Senator Laurence, who was kidnapped a few years ago when he went to Mexico to investigate his father's property. Pat tells him he is too late as she i loves Jimmie but Jack refuses to acknowledge defeat and a bitter rivalry develops between the two men. For days Jimmie avoids Pat. Unable to stand the strain, she determines to have an understanding with him and asks him to dance with her. Overcome with emotion. Pat faints in Jimmie's arms. He is conscious of everyone’s stares. As they leave the dance floor. Jack relieves the embarrassing situation by joining them. Pamela is grateful to Jack. She wires Mr. Braithwait to eome and get Pat. Pat confides in Jack that her shattered ideals of love and marriage caused her to fall in love with Jimmie. Jack tries to convince Pat that what she feels for Jimmie is not real love. Pat believes that by her dis- | closures she has forfeited Jack's friendship, but he assures her be will stand by as long as she wants him to do so. CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE “Oh, there’s that Mrs. Brownley,” Pat whispered. “Somehow I can’t keep my eyes off her.” In a large rocker on the veranda thrust from the center of the hotel like a pointing finger toward the sea, Mrs. Brownley sat, dressed in her favorite sand color. The elderly Mr. Drexel was talking eagerly to her. The woman was a flattering listener. Her soft hazel eyes glistened with interest, never wandering. She seemed to settle into a chair in a position of complete repose. Watching her in this listening attitude, it always appeared to Patricia that here was instinctive womanhood displaying her charms. Without being pretty, Mrs. Brownley gave an impression of exceeding prettiness. Unlike the modem girl, never seen in one position long enough to be fully admired, Mrs. Brownley rested in prettiness. Each slow move pointed it, giving one ample f time to ponder it. Most of the men knew her, yet she made no noticeable attempt to engage their attention. If they ' spoke in passing she replied pleasantly; if they stopped to talk, she listened flatteringly. She said little ' on her side, and appeared always ’ at rest, yet never bored or abstracted. An aloof but interested - spectator of the hectic passing show 1 of life. She would sit for hours on the i verandas, in the lounges, moving at i mealtime into the dining room or to the pavilion for tea. Sometimes she walked in the gardens or engaged a wheel chair for an hour or so. She never danced, rarely swam, and then only in the pool, never in the sea though she was a good swimmer. The men spoke of her as “a lovely little thing.” “Heavens knows why,” said the women. “She’s neither blonde nor brunette; not 1 more than five feet four and must weigh one hundred and forty pounds. She has a lovely nose and • eyes, but her mouth is wide, and her jaw really square.” Women followed her with their eyes,'interested in spite of ’heatselves. Now and then one of them i addressed her, driven by euriosity

and vague resentment. She showed them the same gentle interest that 1 she accorded the men. Patricia wondered if she were lonely and what the secret of her 1 charm was. “I’m going to go and 1 talk to her some day,” she said, i relinquishing her bridle to the page who had run out to meet them. I “Why?” Jack asked, giving her his hand. “Oh, I don’t know The women act sort of horrid to her, and she seems so sweet and gracious when people speak to her; yet never for- I ward and pushing.” But, though they looked into each - other’s eyes many times, Patricia . and Mrs. Brownley did not speak , during their stay in Palm Beach. “For heaven’s sake, where have you two been?” cried Mary Lou, • rushing out to meet them, her i round dark eyes alight. Everything about Mary Lou was round and r alight when not determinedly bored. . “We looked everywhere for you. < Did you forget today was the Indian t Sun Dance? Oh. it was too thrill- > mg.

But they’re • going to dance again this aftert neon, if it doesn’t cloud up. They ) won’t dance unless the sun shines.” > "Let’s hope the sun shine s," i chuckled Jack. "It must have been ■ ravishing.” f “It was. Where were you two • anyway? Arthur Savage has been - looking like a thunder cloud all morning. If the Indians had seen - him they wouldn’t have danced.” s She leaned toward Patricia and s whispered, “And Mr Warren has t been wandering around like a lost t goat or lamb, whichever it is that f gets lost." i Aloud she added, “He asked me i if I’d seen you, and I told him I hadn’t. That you and Jack went ridr mg every morning at some ungodly • nour and you hadn't got back this a time—maybe you'd eloped.” f “We did,” grinned Jack.
