General Johnson does not keep | still long and when he has something to say, he says it -in plain language. Whether you agree with him or not, you must admit that he is not afraid to get it off his chest. Dr. Floyd Grandstaff of this city , ■will succeed Dr. Vizard as county > health commisioner, being named to the vacancy by the county coni- , mis toners. The appointee is one of j the younger members of the local , medical profession, well equipped , to till the post. His friends extend ( congratulations. , _ I Local courts and officials do not , make the laws and their decisions , must conform with the statutes and in answer to the charges made. No matter the offense, there is always two sides to a case and everyone does not see things through the same glasses. It’s difficult to please all and no law was ever written that accomplished that. The many friends of Fred Selleffieyer, pioneer and venerable resident of this city are happy to congratulate him on his eighty-second birthday. Mr. Sellemeyer was born in Preble township and has lived in Decatur tor more than 40 years. The wish that goes to him from a host of friends is that he continues to enjoy good health and will remain on this earth uiauy more years. South Bend now comes up with a kidnaping, a 17-year-old girl disappearing from her home. We ■ thought the federal sleuths had made the racket so unprofitable that regardless of criminal intent, no one would feel reasonably safe in engaging in the traffic. The captors will find it hard going if apprehended. Kidnapers certainly got. no solace from the Hauptmann trial. Until the legislature provides a mejiiis for paying the additional salaries to school teachers. Governor McNutt has signified that he will not sign the salary increase bill. It’s one thing to vote a pay boost and a flower of a different color to meet the bill. No one would oppose an increase to teachers if the additional amount could be levied without increasing the tax burden. The legislature is working on the proposal. The Boy Scout, troop of Geneva holds an enviable record. Four of the scouters. John Lynn Crylc. John fleeter, Glen Beerbower and Robert Lehman, have been made Eagle Scouts, oue of the highest honors conferred by the organization. To gain such a rank takes a lot of diligent work an-l sacrifice on the part of the applicants The boys cap feel proud of the honors bestowed and by showing their continued interest in the youthbuilding movement will help themaelveo and Swrve their community’.

There have been conflicting stories published about the tree text book bill already signed by the governor. This bill provides that on petition of 51 per cent of the taxpayers in any school corporation, the school authorities shall set up school libraries from which school pupils may borrow text books free of charge. The free text books ure equally available to parochial us well as public school pupils. The bill when originally introduced had In mind the constitutional limitation which prohibits any moneys being taken from the state treasury for any religious or theological institutions. Under the library system, however, ull school pupils within any school corporation can be served. The bill provides that upon agreement of public school officials with parochial school authorities, the libraries may be stocked with books used in parochial schools also. SHROVE TUESDAY’S PANCAKES: Most Americans know that Lent begins today, Ash W ednesday, but even those who are aware of Shrove Tuesday may fail to link the popular pancake with the day. The Shrovetide customs of Europe may have made little impression in this country, but pancake tossing was one of the traditions which accompanied the last day of merrymaking before the solemnities of the Lenten period. Pancake day once was widely observed in England. The tossing of pancakes probably has reached its greatest artistry in America in those establishments where they flip wheatcakes in the ■ air behind the plut.-vi,tss wii of our main thoroughfares. There I is the tradition of the Kentucky | flapjack experts, who could toss 1 their product up the chimney and be outdoors to catch it when it came down. The country is chiefly I interested in the domestic flippers who can juggle the cakes without going beyond the boundary of a sizzling griddle. The relationship of Shrove Tuesday to pancakes may make little , impression in America because of the fact that so many daily menus start with pancakes. The “stack o’ I wheats” order rings out in many restaurants, while heaps of the golden brown cakes —wheat, corn or buckwheat—adorn the breakfast tables of many homes. It is, indeed, a delectable dish, especially when delicious maple syrup cascades down over the crisp edges and form a spreading pool of sweetness that would make drolling excusable in the most sedate mouth.—lndianapolis Star. .* S TA RSI G N A L S * By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by <he planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

The most surprised man in Ilollywodd was Franchot Tone when he received two reels of motion picture fllm from his family with the simple Instructions to run it. Borrowing Joan Crawford’s little theater, Franchot held the preview before a small and curious group. He saw his whole family turn actor to give him a friendly rib. He may be a Hollywood big-shot to the rest of the world, their little comedy Inferred, but he’s still just a home boy to them. One of the actors was Franchot’s businessman father. Frank J. Tone, who manufactures whetstones, knife sharpeners, etc. The star's mother, the former Gertrude Franchot, also played in the fllm. as well as hit ' younger brother, Larry, and various «th"r members of the family.
