President Hoover is back from his vacation, spent in southern walers and will he busy packing up his ideas and personal belongings the next two months. President Hoover's research committee has reported, finding many things wrong but no great surprises. Now where do we go from here? The funny thing about it is that the great proposition of coming out of the depression will probably be solved when we don't know it and that most of us never will understand just what brought it about. This is a good time to renew your subscription t > the Daily Democrat. We expect to fight for you and your interests every day and we ask your continued cooperation. The price is low and there is every reason for you to continue as a member of the big family. More than a hundred people met tragic deaths over the New Year holiday. There were suicides, murders, alcoholic poisonings and automobile accidents, fires and explosions and numerous other occurrences that make interesting reading for those who eujoy the sensational. The inauguration of Governor I'. ul V. McNutt next Monday will be a very simple affair and then the new executive is going to work to try his best to help the people of Indiana. About his first job will be to tell the legislature what he thinks they ought to do and how cud from what we hear they will tackle the job with enthusiasm. James E. Watson says he will not be a candidate against Arthur Robinson for the nomination for senator in the 1934 convention. He is wise for he would probably get another licking And Robinson will also find it rather tough going. He is almost sure to have stiff opposition for the nomination and then if he wins he knows he will be up against a real fight in the November scrap. Every one admits this nation has two big jobs to perform. First the wholesale and reckless cost of gov- ' rnment must be stopped and second the men must be put back to work. Don’t know bow it will be done but that until this happens and the farmer can earn a profit THE ADAMS - FINAL TONIGHT - 10c ■ 25c “RED DUST” with Clark Gable and Jean Harlow Added - - “TAXI BOYS” comedy, and Organlogue.

from his land, we can't be too cheerful. In the meantime we can each smile and try and do what we can to make each locality a . little better. 1 Thanks to the Decatur city plant for the gift of the new fire engine '■ house and for the improvements I made at the city hall. These improvements were made out of funds belonging to the city -plant and “ notes executed but the council ) wisely decided that it would be 5 foolish to lax the people to pay a J loan which came from their own ; enterprise, so they surrendered the ) notes and now the debt is cleared and the city owns the properties without any strings. Talk of the May primaries at which time candidates for mayor and other city officials will be selected has started and will continue until that important event is over. A number of splendid men have been mentioned for mayor and it will be interesting to watch on whom favor is cast. City affairs are in good condition considering the serious times and the desire of every one will be to continue same. The general assembly of Indiana will convene Thursday of this j week, organize and go home for the week-end. Their real duties will however start next week and it is expected they will enact several rather important bills, several I of which will mean a reorganization of various departments of the state to give better service at less cost. The folks will look forward anxiously to the session, hoping for and expecting a real record of achievements. From everybody, especially "the best minds” —which make up a queer and rare collection — Mr. Roosevelt is hearing what he ought to do about his cabinet and everything else. What Mr. Roosevelt should do if he will accept one more suggestion, is to use his own judgitmiß absolutely and be advised and influenced as little as possible. He will be held responsible for results, not those who are advising him. He knows what he wauls to do. therefore he knows which meu can be most useful to him and to his plans. The people elected Mr. Roosevelt to be president and choose his own cabinet and lie should choose it regardless of influence from an old clique, new one, or any other. — From “Everyday.” And he will. o ♦ — — — —♦ Household Scrapbook I —By— ROBERTA LEE Water Stains on Furniture | Water stains can be removed from ■ furniture by using a tablespoon of powder pumice mixed with enough I linseed oil to make a thin paste, j Rub on the spots until they disappear, then wipe off with a cloth dampened in polish.

Silhouette Stressed in New Styles for Men * * * * * * Broad Shoulders, Slender Waist and Leg-o’-Mutton Sleeves Among Innovations Calculated to Make the Male “Clothes Conscious.

For the styles for men, hot out of the minds of the fashion moguls are so designed as to show to the best advantage, plus embellishment, the glorious masculine form a’ the recent show, staged in New York by the International Association of Clothing Designers, some of the new models were displayed by male mannequins. In brief, the silhouette la the thing. The shoulders are broadened by some miracle of tailoring to the proportions of a Hercules, while the waist is pared down to the sveltness of a ballet-dancer. Above are a few of the new models. (A) The most striking of the models is the new golf suit of soft tweed. It is specially designed to give the maximum freedom of movement and air circulation. Note that no hose is worn. Instead, there are short socks, rolled to the ankle. (B) This model is intended for the young man who likes polo but can t afford to play. It is a polo coat with the wide shoulders and slender waist that generates the aura of athletic prowess. It features patch pockets, cuff sleeves and belted back. (C) The “Park Avenue” is the name of this pm-stnped lounge suit of English wo-sted It is of very soft construction with peaked lapels and no flaps. (D) This is the full-draped topcoat lacking in the harsh ungraceful lines long associated with men's fashions. Note the flaps on the ' breast and cash pockets. It has half cuff on the sleeve and ia finished m four buttons.
