As Amos would say, “Ow Wow.’’ instead of an EPIC program the opportunity exists for someone to lead a campaign to keep Californians happily married. Speaking of Frederick Landis, the Indianapolis Star, concluded its l ndifnri;il trihnto ami with I

editorial tribute atm euolgy witn; the following paragraph: You can’t beat the Irish, even in Minnesota, a 27 year old youth by the name of Ryan being elected to I congress from the Gopher state. Be one of the 1,000 members in the Adams County Red Cross chapter. The solicitors will call on you Sunday and give you the opportunity to enroll. The way to promote community progress is to take part in the activities yourself. The efforts of committees and groups can be more effective if every individual sets out to do his - part. Bandits broke loose again in Indiana. this time holding up an Ind. ianapolis bank and escaping with more than $",500. Must be a new crowd, for if records were checked nearly all the bad boys would be found missing. The Chamber of Commerce invites you to the banqubt and program to be held Monday evening at the K. of P. home. Plans for holding a county I.H club and livestock showin Decatur next summer will be discussed and you are invited to take part in the deliberations. Every American is familiar with the Red Cross and its wonderful work in time of need and disaster. No one who has the means will refuse to pay the easy enrollment fee and the canvass for members in this city Sunday should result in adding several hundred to the roll. Ohio is getting ready to adopt a three per ven* sales tax in order to avert a financial crisis in the operation of the public, schools. Hoosiers are thankful that their troubles were solved two years ago, by means of _a gross income tax and less expensive than the sales levy. Half of the money raised through membership donations to the Red Cross r»- aius in the county. The funds : rued from year to year in the performing of acts of charity,aiding the needy and destitute Theßed Cross never refuses a call and in time of disaster is the first to offer its services. Houses and houses are springing up on the Subsistence Homestead site south of Decatur. A new village is taking form and at the

rate of progress already "®ado every one of she 48 houses will be under roof by the end of the year. It will be a great development in , time and a wonderful place to live. Did you read the suggestions to water consumers, published by the Water department of the City Plant in last evening's paper? Timely hints on the care of plumbing. repairing leaks and looking after outside pipes before zero weather were given and if followed will save you money and a lot of grief later. President Roosevelt has gone to Warm Springs for a Thanksgiving holiday and to bathe in the waters so beneficial to him in his fight to couquor infantile paralysis. He plans to eat turkey at his cottage there and rest up for the coming strenous session of congress next January. All America hopes his health continues good and his smile grows broader. The high school basketball teams are going into action and for the next four months fans will be watching the games and interested in the outcome of the various contests. The snort creates interest in the school, holds the children together and when not played to excess is excellent exercise. Root for your team, laugh when they win, take defeats good naturedly and enjoy the game for what it's a worth. Don t get too serious over a defeat. "He could be dapper enough | when occasion demanded, but fre-

j quently his attire bespoke more i the informality of the traditional | editorial sanctum. In the political | field he was outspoken on issues of I the day and never spared his own party when in his opinion, it strayed from what he believed the opportunities of public service. He loved Indiana and its people and remained convinced that both would fulfill their destiny as the chosen of Aspeyioa hi the midst of political scandals several years ago. he expressed a sense ot comfort that political infamy was a national epidemic rather than an exclusive attribute. The humorist assured his bearers that Hoosiers were not go. 7ng to the devil while other states communed with the saints. It was this balanced sense of values, rugged honestly and pungent comment which endeared Mr. Landis to friends and to the voting public. His name had become familiar to every Hoosier household and his untimely death on the threshold of further public service deprives the state of an ability that Is sorely needed in this period of social and economic change.’’ o ♦ 4 Answers To Test Questions Below are the answer. to the Teat Queatlona printed on Page Two. 1.

Mrs. Fuller points out that it is illegal to pull, possess, buy or sell egret feathers. Because the birds have them only at Alice Faye nesting sea son, and they bleed to death when the plumes are plucked. For once, however, the movies hare an alibi. The 10 egret feathers In the fan that Alice carried cost the Fox company just 15 cents apiece. And this for bleaching, dying and trimming to look like the real thing.

We used to laugh him down when he talked of losing his mind. But evidently, he knew more than we.

QOOR CHILD /AND Tilt SCHOOL By Dr ALLEN G IRELAND Drettioe Phtnel Hea'tr Ediniea /ntef Pepartmeat Psbler " h Your Child Comfortable? Seating at school is important because of its relation to comfort, and comfort in turn is related to one’s working efficiency and application. Somehow, this A simple relationship is overlooked too "1 often. But let the adult at home plan ! to enjoy an hour of jgU, reading, and he takes great pains to insure comfort. He doesn’t partake of his novel or newspaper with a ridge here and a projection there pressing against bones, blood vessels, nerves and muscles. The little discomforts of the straight back wooden chair 4 soon make themselves felt. They make concentration difficult, and they give us the “fidgets.’’ So let’s be a little thoughtful of the child at school, and let’s remember that discomfort and good work, rather, one’s best work, don’t go ■ together. The feet shouldn’t dangle I off the floor, since that means that i the front edge cf the chair is pressI ing hard against the back of the thigh. Nor should the seat be so low that the knees are hunched up in front. Instead, the feet should I rest flat on the floor and the thighs should rest evenly on the seat. The desk should be neither too close nor too far to the pupil. In both instances, unnatural, uncomfortable postures result. The near edge of the desk should overlap the front edge of the seat , about an inch or two. The height I of the desk should permit the forearms to rest on the desk without either a hunching or a slouching of the shoulders. The child should appear to be comfortable, assuming a slight forward incline. Next week Dr. Ireland will write about "Concentrated Sunshine.”
