J The CWA payroll in this county j this week exceeds *B,Out), which surely helps some. Don't know what we would have done without this new form of labor the past several months and it lias meant even more in other sections where conditions are far worse than here. If Dillinger is realiy conducting tile bank raids charged to him. he would have made a good business ! manager in some legitimate line. Some day two or three banks will he robbed at the same time and then they will have to number the John Dillingers. Don’t make the government do ' every thing. Plan to do some improving of your own this spring and summer. That will provide a* employment cud will make it possible for the U.

Adams County Democrats will send fifteen delegates to the state convention and Republicans will have seven to represent them, p about the usual ratio. Since Adams Is tbe first county to be called. It is always considered quite Ira--1 portant by the candidates and the votes arc carefully solicited. A1 Feeney is promoting civil ' service for the state police and Ills arguments sound reasonable. Os ■ course It takes time to train men [ in this work and Its a shpme to j ; have them removed to give some 1 one else a job that he may uot <lo , .as well. Os course to accomplish his purpose. A1 will have to convince the next General Assembly and some times thats a tough job. Good luck, Mr. Feeney. The let-up in the CWA program is far preferable to complete discontinuance and will we hope be taken in that manner by all who are interested. The expenditure by the government has been great and it is proper that they consider the fact that the new approprlaj tions i.ow being asked, be made to last during the year. The new orders do not contemplate laying iuen off but reduces their hours, thus making the distribution fair to ! every one. I We acknowledge receipt of a ■ i petition aski ig us to resume our| 1 "Twenty Years Ago Today" col- j . umn and since it is headed by a j number of court officials, including Judge DeVoss and former Judge 1 Sutton, we feel it is a mandate. Other complaints over dropping, this feature have convinced us that ( it is worth more than the effort and i we assure you we shall be very I happy to again give you this resume of tlie happenings of two j decades ago. Organization of the Adams Conn- : I t v Democratic Woman's Chib lias been completed by the adoption of; constitution aid by-laws and the election of officers.. With Mrs. - Ktiaiw president and an able staff of assistants, the club will gain in membership and consequent power. Properly conducted the meetings will be of great advantage to the party and the club j will wield a powerful influence in I elections and appointments. That the meetings will prove delightful is our prediction and the membership should grow rapidly as the campaign progresses. Business is turning to Indiana as a haven in a storm of uncertainty. While many other states are in the throes of financial distress; while special session after special session of legislatures have been called; while schools are closed, j teachers unpaid and young chilj (Iren playing in the streets instead j of attending classes, Indiana stands out as a Gibralter of safety for the j harrassed business man. No one can tell what the future will be for some of the States afflicted with the financial ills attendant upon a collapse of the property tax system and the expected results of the recent depression. Special legislative sessions have been called and are being called in an effort to solve some of tho more pressing problems. If governmental bankruptcy is to he avoided iu some of these states, drastic taxation measures will have to be passed. New taxes will havo to be levied upon their business and iudustry. If those sources fail, the accumulated burden will be forced back upon property. + - ——— + Answers To Test Questions • i Below are the Answers to the j Test Questions Printed j on Pane Two.

iremeiy ueivuus at the Marquis de la Falaise has had a lot of fun libbingherabout it. One of the funnier sights of the week, then, was to see the usually calm Hank go into a perfect state of jitters when they previewed his Bali film the other night. He | rushed up and down the aisle a half dozen times during the film. And when it

was all over, Connie had her in- j nings. , Another athletic star is knocking ! atHollywood’s gates. Jimmy Phelan, football coach for the University of , Washington, is staking Bill Smith, j his ari-Arrencan end, to a trip to ' the film colony to seek fame before the camera. Smith, who is six feet two inches tall, weighs 198 pounds and who has j been called the handsomest mar in . West Coast football, arrived in Hoi- ; lywood with a letter to Norman Mclieod, Paramount director, who used to go to Washington Before the day was over, it was all set for him to make a test for ' Cecil B. De Mille. The veteran director is looking for men with fine physiques for his picture, “Cleopatra, and if Smith can make any kind of histrionic showing, he is assured of a part in the forthcoming spectacle. The young gridiron star was mentioned in 9 of the 11 major selections for the mythical all-American team. One of the better stories of the week is told by Lou Holtz, who is now brightening the Hollywood late spots. A young American couple, playing at Monte Carlo, were down to their last 100 francs. Suddenly, the man reached up, plucked a golden hair from his partner’s head and wrapped it around the one remaining note. He placed the bet and it changed their luck. Before the evening was over they had won half a million francs. “Do you know where they are today?” asks Holtz. “They are in Chicago. He hasn’t got a dime and she hasn’t got a hair in her head.” Hollywood can’t figure Vivian CJaye and Randy Scott. For weeks their eventual marriage has been an accepted thing. Now Randy conies back from England and Charlotte, N- C., and s»y s: . . , “She is my best woman friend but we absolutely have no plans.”

Randy has moved back into the house where he and Cary Grant were living before their departure for London. He won’t seek any permanent quarters until he hears from Cary. Seeing in this column that Harold Lloyd was studying the Cantonese dialect for his new film, Y. S. K iang, local Chinese Consul and the motion picture representative of his country’s legation, called the Lloyd studio and pointed out in a friendly way that Cantonese is never spoken in the city of Chengtu, Szechuan Province, which is the locale of the early part of “The Cat's-Paw.” Now Harold may have to learn another dialect entirely. QUICK GLIMPSES. In case they haven’t been down since the storm, Norman Foster reports that somebody’s beach house is floating around in the bay just this side of Malibu....

Making Starch Always use pure soap ill the laundry. Soap that is not pure, when combined with starch, will make the clothes yellow. —o * DEVELOPMENTS IN LAW BATTLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGF ONE) would forbid congressmen and senators to appear in trial courts in many instances. Vaudenberg's bill is aimed at much of lobbying as at the more formal practise of lawyers before government departments; it would forbid national committeemen from attempting to influence directly or indirectly the action of any department or other agency of government. Committeemen of both parties would be affected. In an authoritative discussion of the subject here it was rather deli’itely indicated what the Democratic attitude would be if Vandenberg pressed bis bill, if the line between desirable and undersirable practices is to be drawn by legislation rather than by ethics I and morals, there aro those here j who feel that the. legislation should embrace all federal employes. Many congressmen are conceded to be receiving rewards for political influence in flic broad and proper sense of the term. That is, they receive political reward—perhaps re-election for performing favors. None here question the legitimacy of political reward of that kind.. But a financial reward for a political favor is distinctly something else. The Borah bill would assess a SIO,OOO fine against any congressmen who mixed his federal responsibilities with his legal practise. Existing law forbids congtcssmen from practising before the departments but they may accept cases in the courts. j j • o - --- Get the Habit — Trade at Home o | Let us get yours Monday—--13 pounds for 49c.

Workers will be dropped at the rate of 1,000,000 every two weeks, and the whole CWA projects ended by May 1, Administrator Hopkins said. Se .ator Dill, Dem., Wash.. will 1 fight for a permanent public works program. He would finance it through Increased Inheritance taxes on big legacies running into millions of dollars. Also in favor of continuation of public works and large relief grants are House Majority Leader Byrns and Senat- ] ors Costigan, Dem., Colo.. Wagner, i Dem., N. Y., and LaFollette, Bepn . \ Wis. Senators Nye, Repu . N. D., and Robinson, Repn., Ind.. were in the! forefront of those seeking to wipe out the pay cuts of government workers. A poll by Senator Byrns, S. C., indicated they had a good chance to succeed i their purpose. Other efforts to gain emergency aid from the Federal government are illustrated by a plea of dairy farmers for a $300,000,000 rehabilitation appropriation. “We need this handout to hold us over until we're rating regularly again," said one spokesmau for the group. “That’s all it is," responded Senator Wheeler, Dem., Mont.., "you don’t get at fundamentals in requests like this.”

Diphtheria: The Kidnaper Comparing diphtheria, the preventable. disease of childhood, to the arch felonies of a kidnapers’ | band, the state division of public ■ health has issued the following j observations: ' “During the months of October. November and December for the I past several years, the death rates | from diphtheria have been at such I levels that one child, approximatej ly, (lied for each school day. This brings to our minds the importance of diphtheria as a menace to the children of Indiana, if a gang of kidnapers should alHluct and kill one child a day, every person in the state would demand that something he done about it. The cnt:rc police fwices of ihe Scale "puld be put on the job. We do not*iu the least doubt that the ! State Militia would he called out. |and we think very likely that the i! standing army of the United . | States would be available to put i\ a stop to such an atrocity. Actu- ; ally it is a great deal harder to rid • the S ate of criminals than it is of cases of diphtheria. It would cost more in one day to maintain t a large force of policemen or soli diers than it would to immunize i every child in Indiana. 1 "Immunization against diphtheria is one of the most effective measures known iu medical » science. ft very rarely costs a ■, moment's discomfort to the child 1 and at the most causes only a j moderately swollen and inflamed I arm which may make the child a j little uncomfortable for a day or
