During the past few days bandits have worked in Greencastle, South Bend, Evansville, Madison, Edinburg. Kendallville, Decatur and other cities. No wonder folks are a little exercised about it. Lieutenant Governor Clifford Townsend went to Washington today to do what he can to speed up on farm, loans for Indiana, a commendable cause with a splendid leader. Cliff will do all he can for the people of Indiana because he loves them and is for them to the very limit. Judging from the fact that several hundred who have money coming from distributions of the People's Lqan & Trust Company have failed TTJ call for it, even though some has been ready for two years, we' are led to believe that gliere are at least some folks in the community who are not in dire straits. It might be well to strengthen the local vigilanti organizations and keep guards on continuously if * every community has to combat banditry. Acts of violence such as hank hold-ups and other assaults are becoming all too frequent and some how they must be stopped. ft the bunch which escaped from Michigan City prison are committing all the crimes now charged to them, they are public enemies, one to ten, in Indiana and ought to go with Kelly to that Pacific island, from which to escape they must swum the rapids and if they do that be met on the other side with some of their own sawed-off shot guns. Boys are warned not to engage in Hallowe'en sports in advance of that date or on the “spooky’’ night if their program includes destruction of property. It always was a poor sport and now when few can afford to waste a penny or lose any thing of value, it is far worse. The police will arrest those who so engage this year. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas is a smart man. He wants the next congress to “proVide for an increased tax on liquor, b&lance tho budget, improve the banking laws, attempt very little legislation and go home The great majority say “okay Senator,” but we would bet a dime to a doughnut that they will still be speech making long as-

ter the blue birds have announced the arrival of spring. With the proposed paving of road 537, Decatur to Wtllsbtre. 7 3 miles, advertised (or letting on November 7th, we can give three cheers. For many years this has been the hope of many and now it seems is about to culminate. It is an important highway, reaching $ territory where reside many friends of Decatur. They like to visit this city and we like to have them and we will all be happy when they can drive in over a fine smooth, concrete road. The Berne Witness is so important that it feels it can oppose in a slick and slippery manner, the NRA, evidently preferring that It fall, if by succeeding is would help the administration. If politics Is more important than whipping the depression, they have the right to any opinion, but in a battle such as President Roosevelt is leading, it would seem the best policy if every one would help and if they can’t do that, keep silent. Perhaps Governor McNutt has not been able to work any miracles but those who heard him at Fort Wayne last evening are confident he is in earnest, is honest and desires to serve the people of Indiana. The people should support him. Os course it is impossible to do every thing perfectly btat it is something to know that your executives wish to help you and to better general conditions. There is no doubt that is the greatest desire of Governor McNutt. Indiana farmers are wise in their decision to have nothing to do with the strike now gaining some support in the west. Such proceedure can gain nothing and will if continued be the cause of much grief. The government is spending billions of dollars trying to restore prices and to assist those in financial distress. Farmers as well as every one else should support the dTe.-’Meaii MM is efforts, rather than take such steps as are bound to make recovery more difficult. b i ♦ ♦ ! 4nswers To Test Questions Below a.e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed an Page Two. • • 1.

j . Blanche McDonald

befallen the Eastern cuties recently chosen by dance director Busby Berkeley for a trip to Hollywood and tryout in future Warner musicals. Out of the six girls who arrived here a week ago, four are now in bed

suffering from more or less serious illnesses. Blanche McDonald, who was “Miss California’* in the late national beauty tourney, collapsed two days after her arrival because she made the journey too soon after an appendicitis operation. Marie Marks, who was “Miss Missouri" in the same contest, since has developed appendicitis and faces the knife in a few days. Marjorie Murphy has taken to her bed with a severe case of tonsilitis, and Clare Augerot, at the end of five days work, is down on her back with influenza. Studio officials have a corps of specialists on the job, for all the girls are supposed to appear in A1 Jolson’s new picture, “Wur.derbar,” which starts next month. Bill Haines is one of Hollywood’s favorite interior decorators, but he likes to take his time and choose each article carefully. Yesterday, I asked Carole Lombard if her new house is ready yet. “Ready!" she flipped, “I’ll have to take another two years’ lease on the place to see how it looks with the furniture in.” Berlin reports that Willie Fritsch, German star and oft-reported fiance of Lilian Harvey, will come to Hollywood this Christmas and will bring a wedding ring. The blonde Lilian, whom Hollywood swains have found too interested in her career for thoughts of romance, is far from overwhelmed. “Oh, I don't know," she said yesterday. “I’ll wait and see how he looks to me.” I tipped you right about the romance between Barbara Weeks and Guinn “Big Boy" Williams. The polo star ia head over heels. He’s given Barbara a big sapphire engagement ring and various other presents, including several fine horses. The mother of the actress, who probably didn’t know how seri-

Always ambitious to be an author, Ramon Novarro is writing a musical play in which he intends to appear after his European concert tour next year. The title is “It’s Another Story,” and the plot is about the offstage life of a movie star. Before he goes abroad, Ramon will do a concert in Mexico. His first engagement is in Durango, his birthplace, where he has not been in 17 years. QUICK CLIMPSES: What’s this? Elbert Franklin, Toby Wing’s boy friend, has been taking Rochelle Hudson to dance at the Beverly Wilshire. What’s more, Toby is not wearing the star sapphire ring which young Franklin brought her from New York ... On the other hand, she admits she has had no letters from Maurice Chevalier since he left Hollywood.
