Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Take a new deal membership in the Chamber of Commerce. Today is the day of the mid-week I market day specials. X — The little old Amberjack II is 1 more important today than the'! Majestic, Leviathan or any of the ’ greater boats. You've heard the old slogan and its logic is good today—buy a membership in the Chamber of Commerce for $2.50 and spend the difference. We would like to see the federal ■ government take c. hand in routing' the kidnapers. The orders should | be — get your man and take no chances. These kidnaping rings will not be broke up until drastic methods are used. James Mattern seems to be lost and searching parties along thecoast of Alaska are looking for thel famous flier. He has not been I seen or heard from since taking off in Siberia a week ago and it ap-j pears that another life has been' claimed in the furtherance of avi- I ation. Judge Baker of Indianapolis, who seems to keep things moving, has j ordered the sheriff and the prose-' cuting attorney of Marion county to enforce the law against gam bl-i ing. He served warning on the of-; ficials that unless the places were i cleaned up, action might be taken ! by the court. At least the court's warning gave the gamblers advance notice to get out. — The county highway department, does not have a fund to pay forj cutting weeds aiong the highways. ■ It is gratifying to know that in i most cases, public spirited farm owners and tenants have cut the weeds along their property and those who have not are requested j to do so at once. Weeds along the ! highways are dangerous and should be cut. New York with its towering temples has a problem in fire fighting not confronting other cities.' To be equipped in case of fire in! one of the big skyscrapers, the city ■ has purchased 12 new pumpers i with a capacity of throwing 1.000 gallons of water a minute at 600 pounds pressure. A few minutes bf sprinkling at that rate should put out most any blaze. Senator Arthur Robinson an-1 nounces that he will be a candidate I * Cy? / \ of sadness / Use respect! submit W. H.

|in 1934. He is making his formal announcement early, hoping to head off opposition in the Republican c convention. Robinson may have , created a certain following, but it appears that he'll have a bard job to get the nomination and a much more difficult task to be elected. . His kind seem to have passed out : of the picture. Trying to find some good out of I the depression, Arthur Brisbane points to the lower market price for wives over yi Africa. The former usual price was SIOO, now reduced to sl2. The noted columnist also states that the African male considered four wives as a minimum and used to wait a year or more to take on another following the death of one. Now with the reduced prices they buy a new one immediately. And they blame that on the depression. The tragic death of O. L. Boden- ! hammer, former national commandler of the American Legion, reI moves from active life a great perI sonality. The former commander ; was only 40 yeais old. had a prom- i ising career and already had gain|ed national prominence. died ; like a soldier, from burns received I in a gas explosion and his death ' was indeed untimely. He will be in Legion circles and the country loses one of its patriotic' and fighting sons. Factors at play now justify the belief that a heavy upturn in buildI ing work will occur before long. I , During the past two months small residential building has been mor-, ing steadily upward, the material ■ makers -have noticed a better than • seasonal gain in orders. Building 1 upturn would be felt in every in-' dustry — lumber, steel, transport, (metal, electric, gas, etc.—and would , j provide a vast amount of new em-, ployment. with a consequent jump , iin buying power. Also important j , would ba, its favorable effect on ' I security values. The Chamber of Commerce does ! not maintain expensive headquart-1 ers and the men who serve as of- . fleers and directors do not draw a I I penny salary. Their time is donat- j I ed. In every town those engaged ! ; in manufacturing or retail business I and those classified under the proi sessions should be united under one I common cause — readv to help 'when the need arises. By joining the Chamber of Commerce now you •support an organization which is I willing to help at any time and in ■ any manner helpful to the com- , munity. True, it is not the time ! for elaborate programs and underl takings and just because the world is not being set afire with enthus- I iasm. is no reason to lay down. j o « < ■ Test Your Knowledge I Can you answer seven of these | test questions?

■ J 4 I t.. Ruth Etting

wyn has just signed Ruth Etting. popular songstress of the White Way, ‘ to come out here and play opposite Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scandals.” In her first full length talkie assignment, Miss Eiting will pori tray a captive princess, but ! will sing torch songs just the same. The lead-

ing woman part is being re-written ’ and enlarged to fit her personality and tune-smiths Al Dubin ( and j Harry Warren are hard at work on some numbers for her. Providing the Ziegfeldian Mr. i Goldwyn gets his showgirls lined up, and William Anthony McGuire is able to put the script into shape, , the new Cantor offering should get into production early in July. It’s to be a musical, like Eddie’s , other pictures, but will have no I dancing lines of girls. Each cutie , will have a bit and will hold the I screen for the time she appears on 1 it. There also are to be none of those over-head and angle shots of the dance numbers. What does that leave? Well, Busby Berkeley is diI reeling the dances, and he says “plenty." It could happen only in Hollywood. The other day a certain studio head got in an argument with a subordinate and ended up by firing him. An assistant with more courage than most objected to the step. H» s»id that the discharged fellow did . the work of three men and th a; the I studio literally would have to lure them if the edict held good.

He argued so long and loud that the boss finally threw up his hands. “All right!” he exclaimed. “But I shan’t speak to him for 90 days!” HOLLYWOOD PARADE: Though Eleanor Hqjm has appeared in several Warner talkies, she did it under another name. The reason—it now comes out—was this. Warner’s agreed to jump her salary SSOO a week as soon as they billed her as Eleanor Holm. For experience, she did one of the marathon dancers in “Hard to Handle” and a cigar counter girl in another picture. Within the last few weeks, that clause in her contract has been compromised, so she mav get a good part, at last.
