Clara Bow's son will probably enjoy being a cowpuncher and will get more out of life. To keep up interest between Christmas and New Years the state of New Jersey will take up the Hauptmann trial. Dr. Dafoe has returned home convinced that the Dionne quintuplets are more wonderful than the Empire state building or the Hudson tunnel. Come up town tonight and get your Christmas shopping done. The stores are open for your convenience and you'll be happy when you have this task out of the way. Lodges and clubs in this city display a great interest in children. For the past week or two and continuing up to Christmas eve entertainments and programs have and will be given for the children. Santa Claus will remember them and the older folk will see that the youngsters are embued with the spirit of the season The Good Fellows fund went over the hundred dollar mark yesterday. This week should see another hundred contributed, so the sorority girls can make the purchase of clothes, food and other articles needed to make Christmas happy for those who would other wise be forgotten. The federal government plans to have a reserve fund of 10 billion dollars for public works and to assure the country that building operations will start when a lull comes in other lines. Unless private building is undertaken the government may be forced to carry on a gigantic program in order to provide employment anti revive the heavy industry line. No advocate of the repeal of the emergency clause in the $1.50 law has offered any plan whereby any city in Indiana could operate on a tax levy limited to $1.50.

Castle has the lowest tax rata of any city in Indiana, the total tor all purpose* being $3.03 for next year. Os this the state gets 15 , cente, tho county 37 cents and the township 19 cents, a total of 71 cents. On a rate limited to $1.50 that would leave 79 cents tor the civil city, the school city and the library. The schools and library take 75 cents, which leaves 4 cents for operating the civil city, that is to pay for the streets, the police, Are protection, street lights, cemetery and parks. It takes more than 75 employes to run the civil city and 4 cents would raise $5,000 a year. If some $1.50 advocate will tell us how to make both ends meet we shall appreciate it. If New Castle did not own its water and light plant it would pay $50,000 more for street lights and fire protection. No city in Indiana, no city in the United States, can operate on a tax rate of $1.50 unless it has other sources of revenue. What we want to know is where we cun get other revenue sufficient to reduce the New Castle tax rate to $1.50. Everybody would like to limit property taxes in cities to $1.50. but nobody has yet told how it can be done.—New Castle Cour-ier-Times. - .- An encouraging sign of improved

conditions was the spirit of optimism reflected at a Washington gathering of the joint commission on the emergency in education. Members were told of the upward trend at the conference held at the National Education Association headquarters. Results of a questionnaire sent to state commissioners were cited, which showed that teachers’ salaries throughout the i country had increased slightly. This was offset to some extent by | the report that in some instances teachers located in thirty states ' had received salaries of less than S.IIHI 51 V 054 F T*llsv fit

favo a year. The conference revealed a conservative attitude toward educational responsibilities by making no appeals for widespread Federal aid in sustaining the scholastic system. A number of educators have been clamoring for continued government subsidies: Not even the emergency should excuse a mistaken policy that inevitably must cast the blight of standardization and political control over the public schools. Some Federal funds have been allocated but there should be no subordi&ation of independent systems to bureaucratic supervision. The best interests of the schools will be served by continuing the present educational bureau at Washington as an organization to assemble information for disseminaation throughout the country and for serving in an advisory capacity when such co-operation is deemed desirable-Indianapolis Star. taiTsi gnTls~T By OCTAVINE Fur parsons who believe that human destiny Is guided by the planets tlie daily horoscope is outlined l>v a noted astrologer, in addition to Information of general interest, it outlines information of xpeelal interest to persons born on the designated dates.

I (UP) —A century of dispute, which I the utimate efforts of dipomacy I could not prevent from becoming a 1 war to the death, is coming to a climax In South America. After two and one-half years of Sankuinary fighting, the Bolivian •and Paraguayan armies are nearing i the end of their war over possession of the Gran Chaco region. Parai guay, in a sweeping offensive along a 200-niile front, is pressing against the last defenses of Bolivia proper, and the Bolivians are massing the full extent of their manpower to halt them in the final, decisive i .phase of the war. I Paraguay's right flank is moving ; on toward Fort Garandaiti, the last important Bolivian stronghold on | the path to its army base at Villa Montes.
