Get your ticket for the annual Chamber of Commerce meeting next Monday. Join in civic discussions and programs for citybuilding. Huey Long is now being petitioned to increase his allotment to each family to a nfillion a year. We thought all along that the Kingfish was a piker. Floods are so common down south that despite the seriousness of conditions down there, no one seems much interested. It takes more than a flood these days to make the front page. Governor Davey of Ohio did not mince words in telling Relief Administrator Hopkins what he though!. The tight or misunderstanding waxes warm and impeachment proceedings may result. Eventually the whole thing will clear itself and we will go to something else. Commander Byrd's health is so impaired that he will never be able to make another expedition to the South Pole or withstand the rigors of tile polar regions. His expeditions may have some scientific benefit, but "digging in” at the jumping off peak on the globe seems like a wasted effort, as far as real help to humanity. The condition of Louis McHenry Howe, executive secretary to President Roosevelt, continues to be grave and little hope is extended for his recovery. Howe has been an efficient and able secretary to Mr. Roosevelt and is credited witu being one of the best trained men In public life. His death would be a great loss to the President. Spring is here.

summer months. There should be a lot of buslnes from now on, in view of the steady and higher farm prices, local employment and the fact that Decatur is recognized as one of the best trading markets in the state. With the groundwork here, we should make great headway in 1935. Let's all work together. ■■ BASKETBALL REFORMS: Basketballs and uniforms have been prepared for the mothballs, so tar as interscholastic competition in Indiana is concerned. The discussion of the tournament's thrilling battles will continue for several days, with a number of team banquets as a fitting finale for the season. The net game should not be dismissed, however, without due consideration of needed reforms. Basketball is a fine sport, richly deserving its popularity among Hoosiers of all ages. For that reason it should be safeguarded from the enthusiasm of i zealous but unwise frieuds. The season is too long for the best interests of players and students. The argument is advanced that smaller schools can not afford more expensive football equipment and so are forced to overemphasize basketball. Even the schools with large enrollments fail to appreciate the benefits of outdoor gridiron exercise. The students and grownups have become so enamored of the net game they fail to support football. Pounding the hard floor of a stuffy gymnasium for weeks of practice, followed by a season that permits about thirty games, is too much basketball. The agitation for a modified tournament schedule to eliminate the grind of three games in one day for the champion and runnerup should be continued until that reform has been achieved. The moguls of the Indiana High School Athletic Association should pledge elimination of that feature at an early date. Unless intelligent coopwauoiu. is assured, the special session of the Legislature should provide for protection of y outhful athletes. Observers of the final tournament contest commented on the evidences of physical and mental weariness, the players being sustained chiefly on nerve and grit. Parents of basketball players should be among the leaders in demadiug reforms. The method of distributing tournament tickets also should be revised in justice to students of participating schools. The task is difficult enough, but it should favor the claims of communities whose teams are competing in the final round. Pupils deserve precedence over townsmen in community sales. These reforms would eliminate the worst evils and Insure deserved popularity of a fine iudoor sporL — Indianapolis Star.
