Within recent weeks three uptown business rooms have been ; occupied by retail establishments. . a fact appreciated by everyone. With the fall season here activity in nearly all lines of trade has shown a pick-up. It is estimated that 1.500,000 persons are engaged in the operation I of the school system in America; and that 25 million children are attending school this year. Regardless of the times America belieives ; in educating the youth of the coun-l try and in that respect we excel to a degree. They are voting in Maine today, a governor and three congressmen being up for election. Always a j rock-ribbed Republican state, the I Democrats are conceded a chance -and that's admitting something. — The other day when Gene Tunney — spoke in the state a crowd of 15.000 .. gathered to hear him. while Mrs. 2. Dolly Gann, sister of Vice-President 22 Curtis had a crowd estimated at " less than one thousand. Tunney is • one of several nationally promin- — ent men who have taken the stump —for Roosevelt and the Democratic _ meetings are drawing great crowds. — The item from Decatur, Illinois. _ attracted our attention and we 2, due to financial diffi--7 culties the public high school — there will be forced to go on a ~ three-year basis.

the situation in Indiana: "The Democrats have been cheered by the attachment of Rudolph Leeds. Richmond millionaire and long an active Republican, to the cause of Governor Roosevelt and Frederick j VunNuys. Leeds is publishing a mail pamphlet distributed to a wide clientele, in which he pounds away at economic questions. One 1 of his ventures consists in taking | straw votes which have produced j I surprising results in rockribbed Republican Wayne county, long j ' conservative Quaker stronghold. Two hitherto heavily Republican I rocincts which went to Hoover four years ago by a vote of almost ' five to one, now show Roosevelt the favorite by belter than a two to one majority. In both precincts, too. VanNuys has bested Watson. One of the strange features of the roll is that the women voters are i more generous in their support of i Roosevelt than are the men. The Democrats held an enthus- ' iastic meeting here Saturday night. ' completed organization plans fori the November election and made I arrangements far the opening of i headquarters in the near future. In the absence of Dick Heller. Adams ’ county chairman, who is in charge , ot the speakers' bureau in Demo-1 < ratio state headquarters in Indianapolis, J. H. Heller will direct the campaign. The committeemen and I candidates who attended the meeting heard Janies I. Farley, Demo . < ratio candidate for congress from j the new Fourth district; V. M. Sim-i moms, Fourth dlstriict chairman; Hon Abraham Simmons of Bluffton i and Julian Franke, Fort Wayne, de-1 liver interesting talks. A note of I confidence in the success of the' i Democratic ticket this fall was | pounded by the speakers and as in. hornier years, Adams county will in all probability roll up one of the I biggest Democratic majorities ever given the party's candidates. The papers are not quite so full of big racketeering jobs, murders and holdups since Uncle Sam sent I back.3o,ooo of the aliens in the last i yc ar. A few more years of such work on the part of the government ' and this country will be reduced to' normalcy along the criminal bus-; iness. There is no question that a < large per cent of the terrible: < rimes have a foreigner or two mix-; ed up in them—the brains of such | affairs. The average American, trained in an ordinary home, would; not think of the methods used by | the foreigners in carrying on their; < rimes. Some of the big racketeers I are in prison and others will be and 1 their henchmen are on the way back to Europe. And. when once ; back there, they will remain, for. Uncle Sam has a new system of 1 permitting immigrants to cornel here which will keep out the criminal element. He will not bring them here and then inquire as to their right to remain. He will decide that question, on the other side —before they are permitted to ' sail. That idea is a good one. even if it a little late.—Noblesville Ledger. o • « Answers To Test Questions i Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ♦.. — • 1.

The exhibit will be a replica of a , set Doug used in the picture and will contain dozens of hand props (utensils, etc.) made by Polynesian and Chinese artisans. Boy scouts will be enlisted to give | daily demonstrations of woodcraft and archery. After the New York premiere, it is likely that the exhibit will be shipped back here for the Hollywood showing of “Mr. Robinson Crusoe.” BOULEVARD TOPICS. Though Colleen Moore has been under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-l Mayer for 13 weeks, she has drawn only one week’s salary. Her agreement called for 40 weeks a year and a 12 weeks’ layoff.

port, but up to the present had cherished the belief that only aircraft of the Zeppelin type would be suitable for the undertaking. Os course, one can readily see tiiat the outlay for the inauguration of such la service would be terrific. However, when von Gronau made two successful trips from Germany |to tlie United States via flying lioat. the powers that he in Berlin began Ito sit up and take notice. Here was an angle they had failed to take | into consideration. According they sent von Gres i nau off on a secret mission to check the feasibflfty of carrying out the round-the-world air service with ithe water type plane he had used

Despite what they say, Paul Bern’s courtship of Jean Harlow wasn’t so brief. He first went out with her December 13, 1929, for the opening of the Embassy Club. The film colony is still deeply shocked at the tragedy of Bern’s suicide. He was one of its most loved figures. Meanwhile, the M-G-M picture "Red Dust” is being held up until Jean Harlow can return to work. ... A son has been born to Ruth Cummings, M-G-M writer. In private life she is Mrs. Roy Roland. . . . They do say Warren Hymer was out 20 minutes from that sock someone gave him at a Hollywood night club. Proving there are no hard feelings between James Gleason and Charles Rogers over that part in "Madison Square Gardens,” Jimmie has signed up for the producer’s new picture, "Metropolitan Garage.” The part of the Indian boy in Clara Bow’s picture finally goes to Gilbert Roland, who was one of the first candidates mentioned. At one time John David Horsley was set for the role, but in that heartbreaking way of this business, the young actor suddenly lost out.

I ton the two previous occasions. The - German ace had already reported , Ito his government that the route he f took, via Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland, on hi s previous I jaunts to the United States is prac--1 tical, providing proper refueling stations are established at designated points along the route. But von Gronau had never gone further West than Chicago on the 1 other flights. So his orders on this ! [occasion were to continue his flight across the United States, over the I Pacific to Asia and across Siberia to Europe. 1 The jump over the Pacific would probably follow the route taken by 1 Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh about I ' a year ago, when he flow to Japan I (and China. At that time Col. Lind I I bergh spoke of the possibilities of establishing seaplane service between the United States and the | Orient along that route. The feasibility of the German plan for a round-the-world air service along the Arctic route is favorably commented upon by leading aviation experts. But, although such a service could be started almost immediately, it would be several years before it could be operated in both winter and summer. One 'must take the severity of the ArcItiic winter into account, and the difficulty of transporting supplies—i gasoline, oil. etc., to the refueling stations during the months when the Far North is inaccessible is another important factor that must be overcome. But German thoroughners has ever been noted for its faculty of overcoming seemingly impassable obstacles and it is a safe prediction I that away will be found to smooth lout the wrinkles in the plait for an I I aerial chain around the globe. Should the Arctic route prove ini- | I practical, Germany has still another I string to iter bow for international aerial transport. The route byway of the Azores, across the South Atlantic. to Bermuda and the United States is also under consideration.' This trail is by far the best one i from a year-round good weather | viewpoint, but the water jump from the Azores to Bermuda is too long I for the present type of aircraft. I However, this problem may be solved by placing refueling vessels at intervals along the ocean route. Several designs for such vessels are already under consideration. Still another possibility is that I the big air lines of the United I Statgs. Great Britain, France and Germany may co-operate in some plan of joint operation which will make the world we live in truly a small place after all. o Johnsons to Use Plane i Kansas City.

Farmers in those; areas are faced with the problem of; providing sufficient hay and pasture for their livestock next summer. and to alleviate these conditions the Agronomy Department of Purdue offers the t Rowing practical suggestions. 1. Where the pasture needs is of first importance, rye seeded any time until late October, will furnish ill abundance of early spring pasture. Rye for .pasture removes the necessity ot the too common practice of early grazing of permanent pasture and allows time f r the seeding and starting of spring seed ed pastures. Rye may lie drilled in standing corn or following soybeans cut for hly or seed, at the rate of 1 Vj to 2 .bushels per acre. Where the crop is not intended for harvesting following tlie pasture seas, n, timothy may be seeded 2 to 4 lbs. per acre in the fall followed by clover seeding the following spring. Such seedings should provide late sum-

CHAI'n.K Ihliti t-THKEE He got up and began striding about the room. She made no effort at elaboration. Finally he stopped in front of her, hands thrust in pockets, legs apart. “Pat has told you?" His fair face was darkened by shamed blood. “No. Did you expect that?" “Yes, I rather did. She's so forthi right and ” He turned back to his chair and slumped down, elbows on knees, head in hands. “Well, I thought she might." He did not lift his head. "Perhaps she was leaving that for you to do. Though I've no doubt she would have, some time, the indolent voice went on. "Some girls might keep such a thing—girls who haven't been brought up to believe sneaking a nasty business belongng to the worm species,” she added, recalling Pat's indignation over his effort to hide her from Jack. Warren lifted his head. "Pam, I'm a beast and a darned rotter; but I couldn’t harm that child. Even if I've thought I eould, I couldn't. You believe that, don't you ? ’’ “Then was it your idea to divorce me and marry her?” she said flecking the ash from her cigarette, eyes covered. “Ye gods, Pam! Such a thought never entered my mind. How could you think of such a thing?” "I’ve no doubt that’s what she expects. Knowing Pat as I do, I'm sure of it.” She held him in steady regard. “In fairness to her as well as to me, Jimmie, I think you had better make that trip. If you don't, we're all going to be plunged into a scandal. Arthur Savage is a fool. He’s likely to do something spectacular. Jack Laurence isn't a fool. And he's making it his business to look after Pat until her father arrives. I think you may safely turn your eharge over to him. He won't make a fool of himself, nor a fool of the rest of us; but 1 don't think he’ll brook any nonsense. He's frightfully in love with her—and unselfishly. He could give her up for her happiness. But he isn't going to submit to seeing her reputation ruined. Such matters may be carried on in New York, but not here. Besides all this, I think she should be allowed to choose between you and Cousin John without influence from you.” “Choose between her father and me!” “Certainly. That’s what it comes to." Rising, she went on wearily, “If she elects to go to New York to live, it will be for one reason. You can't expect Cousin John to countenance that by going with her. If she goes, she leaves him to go to you. I think she should be left to make ao important a decision on her own—unbiased by your presence.” He stood up. “I'll go, of course. Tomorrow morning.” He caught her hand. “Pam.” His blue eyes held her pleadingly. “Pam,” he repeated, voice breaking, unable to go on. Horror swept her. Was he going to cry? He mustn’t. She couldn't bear it if he were to give way. Wrong, sinning against her, wounding her as only a loved one can wound, she ached in every fibre of her for him. She could not bear to think of him fighting it out alone. She wanted to assure him of her forgiveness and sympathy. She blamed Pat now. . . . Bitterly, furii ously. He looked so humble, his eyes pleaded like a little boy's eyes. She wanted to throw her arms around him, to erush his big sandy head to I her breast and tell him she loved | him and still believed in him. But pride lashed her. He had h u rt, I humiliated her, outraged her love. Drawn her into the degrading situ- . ation of discussing his desire for . mother woman. “Good night. Jimmie,” she said, her hand.

’ When she reached the door, he 1 called, "Pam.” She turned. He had dropped back ‘ into his seat, a big figure of utter 5 dejection. And Pamela knew that 1 whatever his feeling for Pat, he ’ still loved her. She went out closing ‘ the door behind her. At the clicking of that latch War--5 ren sprang up as at a sound of a t shot in the room He crossed swift- ! ly, but as he reached f>r the knob 1 his hand fell to his side. He stood ’ there staring at the door as at the face of death, all color, all life ■ drained from his face. And beyond it stood Pamela, also stricken by ! that clicking latch. The scene of their first quarrel ‘ rose before her. It had taken place ’ in his room. A wild and bitter lov--1 er’s quarrel which sent her slam- ’ ming out, telling him she was ‘ through with him forever. But she ’ had not closed the door behind her. 5 And later that night he had come ’ in to find her curled up in a big • chair, weeping silently. He had called himself al! sorts of a brute. “Oh well,” he laughed when she I later reminded him that just the 5 same she hadn’t come to him. “you invited me to come. You left the ’ door open to let me know I'd be welcome.” 1 After that, no matter how vio- ' lently they quarreled, neither of • them, on leaving the other, ever ■ closed the door. J “If either one ever does close it,” ‘ she had said gaily one day, “the > other will know that’s the end. We ■ won’t be brutal and say it; but if r either of us gets fed up—we’ll let 8 the closed door say it.” And now she had closed the door. The action had been involuntary. 1 But having done it, how—oh. how > could she open it? This quarrel was > different from those mad first year ' lover’s quarrels. This was funda--1 mental. Striking not only at her pride, but at the very roots of their ' marriage To open that door, after haying closed it. would be to proclaim the fact that she was waiting to forg-ve hj m f or infidelity; that he could with impunity hurt her at will, humiliate her before the I world, and that he had but to ac-
