We have an opportunity to make a record the coming year but we need your help. Don’t miss a chance to boost. Sonic one has apparently stuck a pin in the Huey Long balloon. His candidate for congress iu the sixth Louisiana district was de-h-ated three to one. The state highway commission has been requested to construct a walk along the highway east of town, 224, from the Monroe street bridge to the Reppert tilling station. Many pedestrians use the highway aud it is very dangerous. Such an improvement would be a worth while one. It might save several lives. The city, county aud government might join in beautifying that part of the old county fair grounds not used by the Memorial hospital, maxing it a recreation park and adding to the appearance, comfort and pleasure of the homesteaders as well as every ono else in tnat locality and to thousands of others who would use it. The annual meating of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will be held February 16th aud 17th at Indianapolis and needless to say, will be a delightful and an important event. The speaker will probably be Homer Cummings, attorney general of the United States and one of the greatest orators of the nation. Plans are going forward and Wray Fleming, president, has announced the committees to be in charge of the various activities. The Hanna park, now being improved by the city, will always tie a wonderful place, one that will grow in popularity as time goes on and one that will attract visitors from a distance. The wooded section along a beautiful creek is one oi marvels, coutaihiug virgin

tlmliqr and long known as a bom ing place for all kinds of native birds. It is now being beautified by the city and under the civic section of the Woman’s Club, by use of the CWA. You will be happily surprised when you visit the park next spring and we are sure you will arrange to hold some of your picnics there. The site for the subsistence homesteads has been definitely decided. These homes will be located on the Cade farm just south of the city and! the addition will be one that will attract attention from far und near. An experiment of importance by the government which it is hoped will be followed generally over the country, providing a delightful as well as a profitable place for families to reside. Mr. Middleton and others who are looking after the government's interests are enthusiastic over the prospects for making this a worth while experiment. This community has never enter-

ed a New Year with as bright prospects as they do the coming of 1934. With the sugar factory operating under excellent management, with optimism expressed by the officials of the General Electric Company, with the Decatur Castings, Cloverleaf. Krick-Tyndail. Mutschler Packing Company and all others planning for busy months ahead and with the Federal home building enterprise going forward, besides the public work and the general improvement in farm and city business, we have every indication that the depression is over. Compare conditions with a year ago and in nearly every instance there is an improved appearance, so great as to seem almost unbelievable. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From tha Dally Democrat File 0 — I — • Prosecutor Lee Sprague eats sugar of lead thinging it candy; no ill effects are suffered.

few months, but the blond .tar is leaving Hollywood a bachelor and will take his mother on a vacation to Europe. Showing that Gen. has done all right with the fair sex, however, he had Janet Gaynor, Mary Brian and Marian Nixon down to see him off on the train. It was Marian

Nixon, whom the gossips all thought that Gene was getting serious about of late. All of that will have to be forgotten for some time. The actor planned to spend Christmas with his family in New York and then he and his mother, Mrs, Mary Kipling, sail on the Bremen for a tour of England and the continent. They won’t come back until Gene i. called t. make hi. next picture at Columbia. J.me. Cagney is a wise guy on the screen but a swindler just took him by an age-old trick—and if it hadn’t been for Mr.. Cagmey the loss would have been greater. Several days ago, the earrottopped star received a telegram at the studio reading: “Seriously hurt ante accident. Wire SSOO. Leonard.” The wire came from Chicago. Jimmy thought his brother, Leonard, was in New York but, the Cagneys being a very loyal and clanny family, he called his wif. and told her to .end the money. Later on, when h. returned home, they checked and found that brother Leonard was in New York and hadn’t been injured. Then Mrs. Cagney revealed that she had been suspicious and had only wired SIOO.

It seems that each student feels already, after only three days of school, that he has 1 gotten his money’s worth. There is a general air of cooperativeness about the school that points definitely to a successful term. Students are loud in their praise of Col. Reppert and his staff, and equally pleased with the hospitality and friendliness of the people of Decatur. They invite everyone to come and hear them in their •first attempts on the auction block. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home

bottles at $1 a day, he earned a profit that was quick and easy. But now anybody can get bottles. . And Frink fears that “No More t Women,” at the Paramount Studios, will be one of the last pictures he , services. A group of Charles R. Rogers stars worked from 5 in the morning until 11 at night so that they could complete “The Baby in the Ice Box” and return from Victorville in time to spend the holidays in Hollywood. Dick Arlen had Jobyna and the baby on location, but it is the youngster’s first Christmas and they had planned a family party at Toluca Sally Eilers and Harry Joe Brown were with the company and they, too, had planned a Hollywood celebration.

JOHNSON SAYS BANKING RULES NOT APPROVED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 1 also was shared by Governor Black of the Federal reserve board, who commented upon the desirability of uniform fair practices. Johnsou telegraphed Frank W. 1 Simmonds, secretary of the code ■ committee, last night and ordered ‘ the rules voided. He also instruct--1 ed the American Bankers’ Associ- ' ation to correct the idea that be ’ had approved the provisions. Embodied in the proposed rules are schedules for service charges 1 on small checking accounts. It is with these that the administrator is principally concerned and he ( ’ said yesterday: .' "if the banks want to commit suicide no one is going to worry very much about it. My concern is not for the banks but for the public interest.” His reference was to his feeling that a bank should not impose fees which would make the maiuienance iof small drawing accounts unreasj onably expensive to depositors. ; Tlie NRA apparently is willing, however, that service charges shall be sufficient to combat competition 1 from banks where such rates arc ’ little or nothing. 1 j The fair practice provisions i which the New York committee i proposed would impose a charge of : $2 or more per month for handling I checking accounts of less than S2OO. Temporary Delay i Indianapolis, Dec. 30. — (U.R) — Formal effectiveness of the NRA I code for Indiana banks, scheduled i Jan. 1, was delayed temporarily today at tlie request of Gen. Hugh 1 S. Johnson, national recovery ad i ! ministrator. I The Indiana code had been draw n ; up to include the extensive service i charges for all forms of public banking operations which were re nounced by the recovery adminis1 trator last night. Officers of the Indianapolis Clearing House Association and the State Bankers’ Association said that in drawing up the state code they had acted upon instructions received from A. D. Whiteside, division administrator of the NRA, I and Ronald Ramson, chairman of I tlie national banking code committee. When provisions of the code were announced Thursday they drew objections of public officials over the 50 cent meterized charge on checking accounts which fell below a monthly balance of S2OO. o- — Inlaid Altar Completed Roxbury.

CHILD FEEDING TEST STARTED Feeding Test Is Now In Progress At Rotary Convalescent Unit Indianapolis, Dec. 30.—(Special) —lndiana Rotarians will be IntertixUd in u child feeding teat now in progress among 60 children ut the Rotary convalescent unit of the Riley hospital to determine how far a child may be left alone to choose its own food One theory is that biological needs, if left to themselves, will dictate tho choice of proper foods. To test the theory, child convalescents who are normal so far as their stomachs are concerned will be given a chance to help them selves to a wide variety of food served cafeteria style. The Dietary department of the Indiana university hospitals is supervising the experiment. Serving as it does 19,000 meals a week, the department is able to provide almost an endless choice in its bill of fare. The diet experiment is approved by the research committee of the I. U. School of Medicine and is under direction of Miss Lute M. Troutt. chief dietitian, and Dr. Mauel T.. Wellman, head of the Home Economics department. Miss Virginia Speicher, therapeutic• dietitian, has immediate charge of the food service, accurate check ing of food consumed, and observation of the children. Extra expensa of the tests will be paid from private research funds. Started Dec. 8, the child feeding test will close in four months. Until Jan S, the children will remain on their usual prescribed menus. After that they will help themselves. Any child showing evidence of over-eating or undernourishment or improper balancing of diet to the extent that it seriously affects his health will be taken off the free list. Dr. Clara Davis conducted a similar but less extensive experiment at the University of Chicago. She found the children more cheerful under self-cbosen diets than under strictly supervised diets.
