We are not going to worry about March going out like a lion as long as we have this kind of spring weather to enjoy. Plan your garden, landscape the lawn and all through the coming months enjoy the thrill of seeing plants and flowers grow. Fans and boosters were pleased with the Yellow Jackets’ victory in the first game of the sectional con test and if good wishes are indicative of victory the D. H. S. boys will come through in the second game. An Indianapolis woman was harboring 27 pet dogs and they raised such a howl at night that neighbors complained and the court has ordered her to get rid of 25 of them. She should have started a ranch somewhere in the open spaces. Spring wearing apparel is now in demand and men and women , alike will be glad to lay aside the winter coat or suit. Retail trade will be heavy this spring and local stores are stocked with new and seasonable merchandise for your selection. As long as Congress holds up live public works program, cities and states will be forced to lay aside plans for many planned improvements. If the bill is to lie passed eventually, it seems that it would be better for the country to know it now, the spring and summer months affording an opportunity for employment. Former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, il with pneumonia and infirmities is making a gallant fight for his life. The venerable jurist, past 93 years of age is one of the loved and respected men of the nation and his recovery would be in answer to the prayers of the many who want to see him get well. If the senate takes the same actiou as the house, there will be a change in the basketball tourneys next year. The house, by a vote of 70 to 17, passed a bill limiting players to two games a day. Under the present schedules the winners arc required to play three days. Some have held that the exertion is harmful to health and it does seem there is plenty of time in this world to stretch out athletic events so they do not become injurious to the young athletes. Legislators with the public welfare at heart should be alert to defeat any jokers inserted in the session's closing rush designed to promote the greed of gambling interests. There need be little uncertainty distinguishing between harmless games of amusement and slot machine rackets which lure

the pennies, niekles, dimes ami quarters from persons who can I least afford to lose them. The gambling instinct is natural with many people, who must be safe- i guarded from designing interests seeking to profit from exploitation of this weakness. . . . The slot. machine evil has grown to serious proportions throughout the state and its effects should be curbed by unequivocal legislation.—lndianapolis Star. — FROG FARMS: Think twice before you try frog-' farming. It may not pay. The■ , cow-puncher who sought to make; the Virginian’s life miserable in' Owen Wister’s novel long ago' found out that to his cost. Cir-| culars have been distributed late-! ly urging New Yorkers to go into the business of raising frogs for the market, securing brood stock, from semi-tropical Southern States . where frogs are frogs. The Con-| servation Commision warns invest-! ors to be on their guard. Commisioner Osborne has collected the latest information from I I various parts of the country. Wis-' 1 consin reports that the frog I ranches in that State have not j been very successful in producing [' frogs by artificial propagation.! Even Louisiana confirms the fail-1 ure of artificial efforts along this line. The United States Bureau of Fisheries is content to announce, that "while there may be consider- " able benefits in the marketing of " frogs, success in artificial propa- " gatiou on a commercia Iscale still “ waits realization.” Captive frogs on the dole as it were, are apparently not inclined to submit to lite I rigors of domestic life. —New York!

WOULD ABOLISH I ALL HOMEWORK IN THE SCHOOLS Northwestern Educator Says Practice Is “Stupid” Kansas City, Mo.. (UP) —Dr. Paul A. Whitty, professor of education at N rthwestern University, ridiculed in an nddivss here three favorites of American educatoiw — home work, intelligence quotients and the ’'brigat child." “Home work is useless. vicious, unnecessary and stupid," he asserted. "The child should be allowed the freedom of his home to do as he pleases, to read whatever he chooses or otherwise engage in a hobby or a vocational pursuit," Hits I. Q- Rating Too much emphasis is placed on ■I. Q. examinations. Lie said. “It is certainly not a synonym for genius or nn indication of any future greatness who na young person is found with an ■idult 1. Q.” He said there were “innumentble examples where factors such as industry and self-direction were present in pupils whose I. Q. was regarded as low." Dr. Witty criticizzed parents for putting the "bright child through the puces for some visitor.” All children ,he mid. "should be treated us individuals and not curiosities” Would Scrap 3-R's The "three K’s" alsv got a lambasting from Dr. Witty, w 10 said “The greatest advance education can make today is to throw away spelling, arithmetic and all those other subjects whih were once dear ‘ to us.” In their place educators should I "teach the child to use his creative 1 intelligence and to learn to organ- ‘ ize knowledge.” r- 1 With Our Subscribers L.

Trenton. N. J.—Reliable estimat-l es of the staggering cost of the 1 1 Hauptman case place the total ex-1 pease at about $1,000,000 with the possibility that this total will beji increased if a higher court grants,! the condemned man s petition for I a new trial. Huge sums" have been spent by I Colonel Charles Lindbergh, father j of the kidnaped baby; the state of d New Jersey, the federal government, and city and state of New ■ York, in addition to expense of the defense, newspapers, radio, and motion picture companies. Press Spends $500,000 Newspapers accounted for a ma-' jor part of this staggering sum ■ with the expenses of covering and reporting the trial and investigation. It was estimated by one of, thT press associations that the I costs of telegraph, telephone, and airplane service, and expenses of reporters at the trial exceeded j $500,000. It was estimated that state, fed-' eral, and city governments had | spent upwards of $630,000 during the 30 months which elapsed from i the time of the kidnaping until the trial closed. New York city police department spent about $300,000, | tracking down endless clues and | financing the investigation carried on by more than 300 detectives.

always there is St. Valentine’s Day. I like to think of them educationally, for they do represent opportunities. In the first place, the party itself is an

educative situation, since after all education is the acquisition of experiences. In turn, party experiences lead to habits, attitudes, and knowledges. But the kind and influence of the experiences depends a lot upon the adults behind the scenes. There are the little decencies and etiquette of behavior. To feel at ease at mixed social affairs is a blessing many times in life. The party offers the chance to give that feeling to children at an early age. Through games and stunts we can help build an attitude toward sportsmanship. We can make fun the primary object of playing. If we’re very wise we can do more for the self-conscious, shy, retiring child than by any other means at our disposal. The “eats” are always important of course. While we shouldn’t talk health diets at parties, we can discover attractive and tasty combinations of fruits, custards, ice cream, and cakes. For beverages, fruit punches and iced chocolate milk drinks can't be beat. A pure sweet at the end is never objectionable. Finally, we can, as sponsors, observe the bedtime rule in the case of evening parties. The subject of rewards is often a puzzling one. Dr. Ireland vnll discuss it next week.

ems as SIO,OOO for wood experts, and charts; $5.0u0 for trips to Europe by officers during the investi-1 gatibn; $75,000 as the federal gov-i ernment's share of costs; and another outlay of about SIOO,OOO for ; the actual cost of the trial. Colonel Lindbergh, including the I 1 $50,000 ransom he paid, spent more , than $75,000. Approximately $14.1600 of this amount will be returned to him from the original ran- ( som money after the defense ap- ; peal has been settled. C. Lloyd Fisher, defense counsel, estimated that the cost of preparI ing and presenting Hauptmann’s ' case would total nearly $150,000. 'He stated that defense lawyers ! had contributed $7,000 or SB,OOO of ' this and said that the projected ap|peal would require another $25,000. Three Claim Reward Hotel bills paid by the state of'
