If Dillinger had a normal brain, the-Lord" pity the fellow with a waaped one. ’Phi' hall inch of rain was appreciated and everyone is pulling for a lot more, hoping to measure H by the foot. The end of the week and a hectic one at that. Let's forget about Dillinger, the solid side of life and enjwy the finer things. August Busch of St. Louis left only an estate of three and a half | million dollars and the son hastens to explain that their father made substantial gifts before his death. They ought to get along on that. The Nazis didn't use much forethought or good judgement in murdering Chancellor Dollfuss. The brutal assassination of the chan- j celfor served to make him a greater hero than ever and united the Austrian people against Nazi tactics. Those Governor Olsons are having a hard time of it. In Minnesota martial law is called on account of a strike and in North Dakota martial law is tmvoked to keep the legislature from meeting. Wonder if there is anything in a name? Following Investigations that liquor was being shipped into the ■state illegally, the excise department seized a qnanity of Hie stuff in Fort Wayne and charges have’ been filed against the owner. Whisky -or any hard liquor must bear a state revenue stamp on tho bottle aud those who deal in it will find that it's cheaper to pay the tariff than have their goods confiscated, be fined and probably sent to Jail. A- warning is given children not to play on railroad bridges from t ha.'tragedy which occurred at Shelton, Conn., the other day. little tots were playing on 1110" bridge when a freight train came along and killed everyone of thorn. Their tiny bodies were so badly mangled that identification was almost impossible. Railroad brijgea are for trains to pass over and not to play on. ATnews gathering agency in Washington sends this paper a wire, inquiring if we desired a 350 word mefbag« about a Russian doctor “revealing” that a Decatur church was listed to he dynamited by Communists a few years ago. it sounded too abstirb anti we didn't ask for particulars. Someone got us mixed up with another place on the map, for Decatur does not know what a Communist looks like. — • - High in Energy. Approved by Good Housekeeping

Hitler should use caution In running things In Germany and lu at teuiptlug lo lake a foot-bold lu Austria. Mussolini Is the big boy over there and he will not penult the Nazi organizations to annex the much divided country of the former llupshurgs. It seems that a great war would be Impossible now aud probably the great powers will lie able to prevent one, but In the mesutlme many Innocent people will be sacrificed. It takes twice as much gasoline to drive a car at the rate of seventy miles per hour, as It would to cover Hie space at twenty miles. Other speeds arc in proportion. At sixty miles per hour a car will reach a point ten miles beyond its starling place five minutes quicker than at the rate of forty miles. That is to say, it will require five minutes more time to cover the itpace than the law allows. Accidents are more tbau numerous in automobile driving, the greater part of them due to speed violations. As a student of the question remarks: “Sane driving is the greatest need of the day.” We didn't know Chautauquas were being held anymore, hut H seems that Remington staged one this week and among the speakers was Senator Robinson. His publicity agent sent out a column or two of the speech made by the man, who Washington newspaper correspondents agreed “would he the least missed in the senate," in which he found fault with about everything that President Roosevelt and Congress has done. He said America was headed towards dictatorship and that "we are no longer a free people.'' Os course no one believes much what Senator Robinson says. The regrettable part is that people had to pay to listen to his drivel. America went into the world war and spent $23, 409.00#, 090 for the destruction of life and property. In addition, America loaned $12,MiM 100.000 more to European nations for continuance of war. is it better to spend money patriotically for the havoc war can make, or to spend a fraction of that amount to establish the security of our homes, our jobs and our republic? Able economists have reckoned that the depression coming as an aftermath to the world war cost our nation between SIOO,000.000.000 and $250,000,000,000. President Roosevelt has ably directed the spending, thus far, of $7.ooo,oo«,o«o in useful works to defeat the depression aud to restore human happiness. The premium bay be large, but if it saves the country from ruin all will be well. o Wncl# . _ ' %%s Charles soys: 6Y CHARLEY ORAWT , C'ohi blooded gals sure give a feller th’ chills.

NEW MILE MARK SURE WITH THIS SEXTET RACING Track Stars Would Settle Question of t haiNpionship in Contest UMdtm (UR) -Who is the world champion tailor? There arc half a dozen contenders to the title and only a race between them can decide the «' sue. . Such an event is not altogether an impossibility, and what a lineup! Jack Lovelock, Glen (tinningham. Bill Bonthron. Gene Venzke, Jules Ladoumergue and Lugi Beecall would have to be there. Such a squad might well put up a now all-time record, and it might easily be dow-n to the four minute mark. Best Gate in U. S. Staged in the States, admittedly the best venue for running, with fast tracks and super climatic conditions, the race would attract a record crown. As to the winner. Well take your choice. Lovelock and Bonthron will meet again in July at the Y\ bite City track, here, iu the meet between Oxford and -Cambridge and Princeton and Cornell The result won't give much of a slant on world championship form, because the White City track is notoriously slow, and nobody expects any flashy running. Cunningham has done tlie distance in 4 minutes, 6 716 seconds. Protessional Now Ladoumergue, now a professional, Is the old record holder at 4 minutes, 9 c loth seconds. He held it for several years. His trouble. now he’s turned professional, is that he can t find anybody good enough to extend him. He holds the 1500 meters professional record of 3 minutes, 49 2-lHlh seconds. . Beccali holds a packet of halfmile -records.- Recently he has been trying to break into the I longer distance races, aud has a terrifically fast finish, which makes him no mean oppouent for the other stars. Maybe it will be some time before these six get together. It might be next Summer, but one of the chief obstacles is ladou morgue's professionalism. It would not be difficult for him to race with the amateurs somewhere in Europe, where they liandle thest things more easily, hut there might be trouble with the Amer ican or British authorities. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home
