Regardless of Pennsylvania, the country as a whole seems satisfied with the new deal and the efforts ' of the president in his tight for recovery. They’re still trying to fly the ocean, but evidently the public is not greatly interested. If some fellow attempted to walk the waves he might arouse wonder and excitement. Indiana Rotary will be headed byRaymond E. Willis, Angola newspaper man who was elected at the state convention of Rotarians yesterday. Mr. Willis is able, a man of high ideals and will carry the banner in keeping with the standard set by this civic and service organization. Dillingcr has started on another rampage, his latest being a hold-up of a bank in Flint, Michigan. The desparado will eventually run his course, but the trouble is he is j accused of about every big crime | in different parts of the country j the same day and it's hard to run I him down. The death of Edward Gallmeyer, pseminent Preble township farmer, removes one of the county's most rcSpected citizens. Mr. Gaiimeyer was a fine gentleman, sincere and honest and his services as township assessor proved his interest in local affairs. He was a kind and considerate individual and his friends will miss him. ~ It's a fine thing to conduct the Daily Vacation Bible school each year.

department? Then too, have a city street map at the engine home showing every fire hydrant and let the firemen familiarize themselves . with the location of every plug, so that when they leave the engine house, their mind's eye will see the ' hydrant nearest the scene of the tire. Os course all this would not i expediate firemen's efforts If the ' public surrounds the hydrants and make it impossible for the men to work. Tiie adoption of the Are | routes will probably eliminate some i of the congestion and clear the way for tiremen. IT WILL NOT WORK: The Associated Press carried the story of a Chicago wife's suicide caused by tangled love involving two friendly couples. A 25-year-old wife had returned to her apartment and found the husband with the wife of a friend. The pair left the dwelling and drove around the park, discussing the situation and asking themselves, “How is it going to end?" The answer was supplied on their return, when they found the body of the distracted wife with a bullet in the brain. Such affairs do not always lead to suicide, hut they end in some kind of serious marital crash. That Chicago quartet and every other person anywhere involved in similar situations know what the end j will be. Death to one or more members of the triangle or quartet sends the tale of enmeshed love lives into the headlines. Sometimes separation or divorce keeps within the law. but it cau not prevent shattered hearts. The mental caliber of the gallivanting husband seems to have been lacking, although oddities or eccentricities could not obscure a knowledge of proper conduct. He seems to have written mediocre romantic stuff and tried to convince himself that his imagination could chart a similar course in real life. There were frequent discussions about free love. That may be tolerated in novels or on stage and screen, it will not work. Sillyfools may discuss their problem and, with a semblance of perplexity and worry, ask themselves how it will end. They are only fooling themselves. They know the answer. —Indianapolis Star. o Household Scrapbook -BYROBERTA LEE ♦ —♦ Cut Flowers Do not crowd the stems of flow ers in a small vase.

working in the picture, “Afterwards,” Kay met her husband and the two started for their ranch home back of Ventura. They reached the turn-off from the main highway and began to climb a narrow road into the hills. 1 With John at the wheel of their brand new car, they were going at a good clip when the right rear wheel came off. The car careenpd to the edge of the road and teetered above an 18-foot drop. Cromwell clung to the steering wheel but Miss Johnson was thrown against the windshield and knocked uncon- , acions. The director leaped from the car and quickly pulled out his wife. And just in time, for, relieved of their weight, the machine overbalanced and rolled down the embankment. Neither of the film pair received serious injuries. I promised not to mention names but the story is too good to keep. The divorced wife of a production executive recently took her seven-year-old son to be baptized. Not knowing of alimony battles, the minister patted the lad on the head and aaid he must have had a fine father. To the mother’s horror, the kid replied: “Yes, I guess he was all right, but he is a pretty bad payer.” Pestiferous salesmen meet their nemesis rr. W. C. Fields and Tammany Young.

In typical Dillinger fashion, three nten swarmed into the Glenwood Avenue branch of the Citizens and Commercial Saving*. Bank, leaving two other men and a woman in an automobile, and escaped with all the cash in sight before police could answer an alarm from a station two miles distant. v The bandits, striking a few minutes after s]f«o.noo in payroll money had been delivered to the branch, missed $75,000 in cash

Truck driver STRIKE ENDED Tentative Agreement Is Reached To End Strike At Minneapolis Minneapolis, May 19. — (U.R) ' tentative agreement to end a strike of truck drivers which has brought the Twin Cities to the verge of a famine was reached today at a conference of drivers and employers with Governor Floyd Olson. The agreement, to be submitted to 5,000 striking truckmen tills morning, halted a sympathetic walkout of Si. Paul drivers scheduled to begin at 11:30 o'clock last night. Picketing strikers in Minneapolis still cruised the city in organized scouting expedition, however, preventing virtually all motor movement of freight. Grocery stocks of tresh vegetables, meats, eggs and other perishable and lightly stocked foods were at the vanishing point. Bakeries. laundries, milk companies and transfer companies were unable to make deliveries. Police furnished motorcycle escorts for truck gardeners entering the city with vegetables and guard ed filling stations as pickets attempted to complete a tie-up of vehicular traffic by drying up the supply of fuel. The city jail overflowed with arrested men who offered no resistance. One group of 41 pickets even obliged a Half dozen patrolmen by driving to jail in their own automobiles when found threatenig an oil station attendant. Details of compromise reached by the conferences under Governor Olson’s direction were not revealed. The strikers demanded a 4S-hour week and a weekly wage of $27.50
