Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. ' Don’t overlook filing your mortgage exemption blanks, it will save you taxes on 11,000 if you owe that much. We are getting some of those rains that we missed last summer,' but its rather good to have an old' fashioned wet spring. The cold snap is interfering with the oats planting but otherwise has i probably been a good thing. Bet-j ter have it now than in a mouth from now. Rebuilding tin- forests of Indiana 1 is a splendid thing, not only be ’ cause it provides labor for thoiis-j, ahds but because in ten years from! now the trees will be actually:

fcorth a 10l o£ real money. Third parties have never gotten far in this country and won’t. It; sitch a movement ever gets a good ; start it may tend to drive the two old parties into eloser harmoney to head off radicals getting control. Tlie depression is over and those who are still crying about it are .either natural deprcssionists or . playing politics or have some other axe to grind. Forget it as much as you can and get back to sawing 'wood. A canning factory will help by , providing jobs and by giving the farmers who have tomatoe ground . another cash crop. We hois- it develops and the Chamber of Commerce boys deserve commendation "for their efforts. “Mud in your eye" is no joke, out in these states where the recent sturms have caused millions of dollars worth of losses and where the oil lias been so destroy-

cd that it will be decades before it will produce crops again. It will help considerably when " the parking lot is ready for use and several hundred ears are taken care of there, giving a little ' relief to the main business streets. Looks as though this may go a long ways in solving a troublesome problem the past several years. We can't help wondering whether its worth while for those European countries to battle so hotly over treaties when they know they will break them If it happens to suit- their fancies. At that any. thing that, will prevent or even postpone war is a good thing, so ■ lets agree with them. The apparent contest for Icadcr- ■ ship in the Democratic party in Indiana augers well for that party tor it indicates a decisive guess that the Jeffersonians will win in next year s election. The present Hurry will probably quiet down during the summer, but a year from now it will be going full tilt. The interest being manifested by every one in keeping the streets of the city clean is appreciated, Officials cannot keep the city looking

neat unless they have the cooperation of citizens. Its so easy to toss a carton or piece of paper in the street but some one has to pick it up. The Republican press is now mad because Governor McNutt says there will be no special session of the legislature unless It is absolutely necessary. When they thought it was a sure thing they were calling the governor all kinds of names for even saying that such | I a thing might be necessary. They seemed to be so peeved about .something thut they just can’t agree with any thing that is being done. Surely it can’t be because they are the “outs" just now. Hamilton Fish. Jr., of New York, who aspires to being a candidate for President on the Republican ticket, spoke to ft crowd of partisans at a beefsteak dinner at the aristocratic Columbia club the other night, attacking President Roose-

velt who he says has failed to bring j relief to the people. In the same issue of the Star which reported this speech, were two columns of; business reports showing increased i profit of almost startling size. Another story from Dunn and Bradstreet. New York rating agency 'declared that a twenty-five per cent I uplift in business will occur within the next few weeks. It was probably in line with the speech that the meeting turned into a vaudeville performance for the entire affair must have appeared a joke to the serious minded of those who attended. 0 >—

STEVENS SEEKS NEW RECORD IN STRATOSPHERE Second Flight in .lune Has Altitude As One Objective ftoeli -ter. N. Y.. — (UPt—Eff its 'to s-1 a new world altitude record ' will be made at the forthcoming ■ ■< cond flight into the stivttesphere i by tile U. S- Army Corpu-N«tional i Ueogt iphic balloon, planned for I June. Captain Albert W. Stevens, ' w.io will command the fight, disi clewed. “Every precauti n has been taiken for a successful flight. "It is hop< d that the flight will a; coiuplish new world's record for altitude while gatlf.ring the scientific information.” Inspected Instruments Ca' r t. Stevens wus here to inspect n w .spectrograplu, and optical glass windows being constructed for the balloon at the Bausch and Lomba laborat ries, and several s’KCkilly i designed chambers under cotistruci tion at the Folnier Graflcx and | Eastman Kodak plantsIn the June flight, captain Stevens said, the non-explosive helium gtw will be used to inflate the bag,

eliminating tho necessity of folding th ebag faibric to exclude air when the balloon 1 aves the ground It will be th.f list time that helium will be used for a stratosphere flight, the captain said. Stronger Fabric Tim new balloon will have ft top fabric 33 per cent stronger than lust year's and a bottom 50 per cent stronger. Since tielium Ims only nine-tenths the lifting capacity of hydrogen, Hie gas used in the lost flight, th.- new ball ou's capacity has been increased 3.700.0n0 cubic feet .which will give it a similar theoretical ceiling to tast year’s. Il: 1 said Russia, also is planning a stiiilosphere fight Ihjs-summer with a balloon calls d "Os aviachIm II." now under'construction at Leningrad. The Russian balloon, ilin said, is exp cled to rise 82,000’feet (more than 15 miles). The Russian bag, how ver, will be ot 1.765,740 cubic feet capacity, much smaller than tin- American entry for .stratosphere honors. — One is not obligated to send engagement presents, but it Is sometimes done.
