They include criminals of various types and degrees. State senators will vote individually on the primary law which is probably alright. Our idea is that on most questions these representatives should vote as they believe a majority of their constituents feel they should. The President’s ball held here! netted slll, a neat sum to be deriv-; ed from an event in which so many | enjoyed themselves. The inont-y ■ will be used to aid crippled children, a most worthy cause and $75 of it will remain here. A lot of folks are hoping the legislature will figure out some taxing method that will meet all emergencies other than the sales tax. Os all of the plans used, that is probably the most unpopular for every time you spend a dime or more, it is called to your attention. Republican newspapers are claiming great things as the result of the victory of Mr. Halleck in the recent congressional election in the second district, but they fail to tell you that the normal majority in the thirteen counties, all of which but one are admittedly republican, is thirty to forty thousand and Mr. Halleck carried it by less than 6,000 .We can’t see any great upset there. There are 23.000,000 buildings in the United States and most of them need some kind of improvements. If die housing committees can plan to finance a program that will include that, they will certainly Ire doing something that deserves credit. It will provide more pleasant and convenient loonies and employ labor every where. Tom McConnell’s explanation was interestiug and we are sure many here will avail themselves of the opportunities.

the larger cities to the smaller ones and representatives of one or two have visited Decatur, seeking location. Tho Chamber of Commerce is investigating and if they F find them us represented, will do all the cun to bring them here, t The officers of this organizution are alive to the situation, are for this community and every one in It and deserve the support of every ctizen who wishes to see the depression lifted for good and all. The last month of the Indiana 1 legislatures may be a repetition of I scenes quite prevalent some twen- | ty years ago when the anti-saloon league was an important factor in the state. A bill providing for local option, backed by this organization, has been presented and as it winds its way along the passage route, interest will grow and the various members of house and senate will be put on the “spot.” While ’ there has been no vote that indicates the standing of either body it is not believed the act will get far in the present session. It is not likely the primary laws will be repealed but on the contrary will be strengthened and improved, which may meet the demands of the public. After all there is a feeling among the voters that they should have the right to assist in selection of candidates if they so desire and while repeal was promised by the platform of each party, the objections which i have been made since the election, indicate that such a movement would be unpopular. With a few changes it is probable Ibis import- , ant problem and it is important, i will be solved. Cloverleaf Creameries announce i a Dairy Day to be held in Decatur on Thursday, August Sth. in connection with the 4-H club fair. That means an event worth putting down on your calendar. AU who have attended previous Dairy Days here know that these are affairs that entertain and teach, that attract thousands and make life worth living. The entire 4-H fair will be a most creditable affair, with programs each day that will be of value and interest to thousands. It has the support of tne entire county, the Chamber of Commerce and every who believes in clean, worth while entertainment. Col. Fred Keppert will be master of ceremonies on Dairy Day and that means it will go over with a bang. o * S TA RSI GNALS* By OCTAVINE For parsons who believe that hu- . man destiny Is guided by the planets i Hie daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

WOMAN FLIER IS REGULAR PILOT ON AIR ROUTE Reden Richey First Os Her Sex To Be So Employed Cleveland. -(UP)—Helen Richey | 25. has conquered what she believes te the last masculine stronghold of aviation, the cockpit of a passengei airliner. She was proud as she stepped from a Washington-Pittsburgh- Detroit plane here, of which she had just become a co-pilot. With that nank, Miss Richey is now believed | the only woman pilot on a regulai passenger airline in the United States. With Frances Harrel Marsalis at Miami, Helen Richey a year ago established a new women's endurance flight record by remaining aloft nine days, 21 hours, 42 minutes. Flying Five Years She learned to fly years ago at a Pittsburgh airport, then began competing in aerial events at the Na- l tionul Air races in Cleveland. On her initial round-trip flight. I Miss Richey eat at the side of Hor-1 ace Stark, first-string pilot. “I think ; this is the beginning of a number of girl co-pilots,” she smiled as she was photographed at Cleveland airport. “Only time can tell whether we will be accepted as first-string , pilots on the airlines. I think girls would not want the job. Its hard work. The hours are so irregular. Must Stay Single “The girls would have to stay single. It's not as attractive as one would think.” Male pilots about the airport offered no encouragement to girls who want to become pilots. “Women just can’t take it,” one scoffed. Mies Richey's run is for Central Airlines, which flies passengers and mail from Washington to Pittsburgh. Cleveland and Detroit. She has 1.000 hours’ flying time, was reared in McKeesport.
