The Hauptmann case is getting hotter and hotter and if Bruno isn't careful it will get too warm for, him one of these days. Open up the pep bottle and get your share of prosperity, it’s no j longer around the corner. It's here and will get better this year.. The merchant who does not ad ! vertise is Injuring himself much worse than any one else, unless he , is smarter than any other business man has ever been. Gold bars valued at $110,01)0 j dropped from an English airplane Sunday and every body was out! yesterday looking in their garden; to see if they were lucky. I). ADAMS—A. M.. The flood season is on. it seems to have started a little early but j perhaps by coming in installments] none will be as severe as they have ] been some years. After the 500,000 acre game reserve is stocked, the boys will be biking to southern Indiana to get deer and bear instead of Michigan and Wisconsin, liut that's some years ahead. A cargo-carrying airplane has i been built large enough to transport automobiles. The plane is callable of making 117 miles an hour, loaded with autos. Soon the circus will come to town by airplane and that will eliminate a thrill for the future generation.. Someone must have planned a '■ publicity stunt in connection with ex-kaiser Wilhelm's birthday. Denial that an assassination of the former imperial head was attempted was made as quickly as tliei rumor that one had been planned, j The former kaiser was 76 the other day and evidently enjoying life amidst luxury. Business the last two months over the country lias been the highest level in five years and is eightyfive per cent of the 1923 point, which is a great come-back, liy the end of this year we'should be going along at a normal rate and from then on for many years enjoy the greatest and latest prosperity in several decades. Ohio’s new sales tax law went iulu effect yesterday. Stamps must he placed on every article selling for more than nine cents, the vendor or retailer retaining one-half of the stamp coupon in making settlement with Uio state. It seems an awkward way of collecting a lax. Why not make it a straight sulos tax and pass it on.. Second district voters are voting today, to decide whether Abe ilalieck, Republican, or George Durban, Democrat, will represent them. It is a strong Republican district and Mr. Landis was elected last November by nearly 11,000 majority over Dtirgau. The results of today's election will be watched with interest everywhere.

| Secretary Wallace is trying to i get the constitution changed so that amendments can be added while we wait. That's a part of t the New Deal that ahouid be opT posed, it seema to ua. Safely in the future, as in the past 150 years t i depends much on the fact that it | iias taken lime to do these things, giving the people an opportunity to think them over calmly. t ' City officials are considering including the need of sewerage dis- * posal facilities in this city in the j survey of community improvements > asked for by the director of the public works program. The Feder i i al government will pay a share of 1 the cost of building a plant and making the necessary sewer connections. Sometime iu the future the city will be forced to make such an improvement and if part of the cost cau he obfaiUed from the federal government it might he wise to build now. Old St. Mary’s ‘. liter would then become more than ; an outlet for the city's sewers. o

I sincerely believe that they should show their appreciation by cooperating and waiting their turn again. In this way we will have our own business in our own bands, which should have been done years ago. This would give (iomeeone else a chance to pay their depression debts. What do you think?

AUTO RADIO PHONES SEEN j IN NEAR FUTURE; 1 Youthful Electrical Wizard Forecasts Step In Ten Years Berkeley. Cal., — H’P)— T! "'; youthful electrical wizard who: equipped Berkeley's "scientific police department’’ with radio and wwho provided 22 launches, ground stations and tow'ering piers of the San Franciseo-Oaklaud Bay Bridge with radio telephones believes it won’t he long untii automobile rudUnborn s are commonplace. He is 22-year-old D. Reginald Tibbetts. who designed and installed for the hay bridge engineering comAllies for complet high-frequency tadio telephone systems. Heard by Experts He explained his projects to the nation’s foremast electrical authorities recently at the 25th convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in Salt Lake City. Six years ago, at 16 he provided Berkeley's police department with the first police radio system. He did the job in time taken from high school studies. A runner-up in the Kdi.- n Intelligence Competition, Tibbetts tells interviewers: "There’s really nothing to it,’’ as he spins the dials of his compact radio-telephone. Tb e telephone employs standard receivers and transmitters connected to a box resembling an ordinary radio receiving set. Special tubes and other standard equipment complete the unit. Six foot aluminum r ds are the antenna. The radio tele- ; hones operate on a 4 to 6 meter wave length, compared to the 500 to 1,500 meter wave length used .by broadcasting stations.
