The skies will clear one of these days and then the trees and flowers will come out in all their glory, showing the benefits of the drenching rains. If congress meets in special session and the Indiana legislature reconvenes during the summer, the law making business should reach new highs this year. The rain and high water held up •the clean-up campaign, but with favorable weather conditions the next few days the drive will be waged with renewed interest and completed this week. Cooperate with Commissioner Roop and the street department in making the clean-up campaign one of the most effective ever undertaken here. Another tragic airplane accident, the useful life of U. S. Senator Cutting of New Mexico, being one of those abruptly ended. The plane crashed in a field after it ran. out of gas, Senator Cutting and three other passengers being killed. The pilots, who fought the fog for a couple of hours and attempted to make a safe landing, were also killed. Senator Cutting was one of the able men of the country and his untimely death is regrettable. We have no criticism whatever on the Homestead project. We believe it a wonderful undertaking and forsee great benefits from its development. Decatur is happy to have it, but likewise feels that the government should proceed to make it part of the community. It should be incorporated and the entire property be made assessable for taxes. It would be class legislation to do otherwise. The city has met the demands so fully, that it has a right to expect similar cooperation from the other side. We believe the tenants feel the same way about it, they wishing city fire and police protection and the right to send their children to the city schools.

I whole are happy that the Reverend i M. W. Sundertnann and the Reverend H. R. Carson will remain here at least another year. Reverend : Sundertnann is beginning his eighth ' year as pastor of the Evangelical church and in compliance with a t congregational request, a special appointment was made in his case. ( He has lieen u zealous worker in his church and climaxed his many 1 years of effort here with the bringing of the conference to the local > church last week. Reverend Car--1 son, who has been a pastor and ! resident here only a year, has in i , that short time endeared himself > to members of his church and J butided staunch friendships outside. It pleases all to have them returned. This happiness is also shared by the ministers, both of whom are mighty glad to maintain their residence here. They will find a pleasant year’s work ahead of them. INDIANA'S YOUNG MUSICIANS: The growing interest of high school students in band and orchestra work is demonstrated by the increasing competition of annual contests for the state's honors. Scores of youthful musicians from all parts of the state —winners in the district eliminations — attended the finals held at Evansville. The contestants faced a grind similar to that in the basketball finals, as they were kept busy playing and marching. The judges also were confronted with a difficult problem in determining the best of the group and individual performers. A number of bands, orchestras and individuals have been recommended for the national events scheduled for Madison, Wis., later this month, where the youthful Hoosiers will demonstrate their artistry. The encouraging feature of the musical competition is the support the communities are giving such proects. Many of the instruments used in band and orchestra are supplied by the schools. The public co-operates in raising funds for uniforms and in provid--1 ing other incidental expenses. The enthusiasm over these high ' school organizations may be due to a number of factors. One important influence is the improved quality of musical instruction in the public schools. The interest in the band may be stimulated partly by athletic activity or by the tendency to ape the colleges. Whatever the reasons may be, the results are highly encouraging in' , acquainting the students with cultural values that should pay dividends in later years, as well as in ( promoting a desirable activity during high school days. Even those who may have a mercenary motive in contemplating long trips to university football games will derive many pleasurable and profitable hours from their musical activities. —lndianapolis Star. o *STAR SIGNALSI I by OCT A VINE For persons who believe that human destiny Is guided by the planets . the dally horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

SYNOPSIS Young and beautiful Fanchon Meredith leaves San Francisco by ' airplane to escape arrest in connec- ; don with a murder in which her I sweetheart, Tony, is implicated. She had not known that he was a gunman. Evelyn Howard, whom Fanchon had met on a voyage from Hawaii, is aboard. She is enroute to New York to live with her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Allison Carstairs, whom she has never seen. The plane crashes and all but Fanchon are killed. Grasping the opportunity to start life anew. Fanchon goes to the | Carstairs home as Evelyn. Mrs. Carstairs' affection wins her heart. At Southampton, awaiting the arrival of her son, Collin, Mrs. Carstairs warns Fanchon not to take him seriously. He arrives and accuses Fan- | chon of being there under false pretenses. Collin objects to "Evelyn." Fanchon learns that Evelyn had indiscreet affairs with a naval officer and a native. Fanchon’s sincerity in explaining that “her" indiscretion was only folly overcomes Collin's antagonism. A warm comradeship ensues and together they spend a happy summer. Collin and Fanchon love one another. He is prevented from confessing his love because of the blood barrier, and she because of her masquerade. He admits it to his mother. CHAPTER XVII In November “Evelyn Howard” made her bow to society. There was a tea for older people at the apartment and then a dinner dance at the Ritz for the youngsters. Her frocks were exquisite, one white, the other a faint flushed pink. Her flowers, orchids and gardenias, which Collin had sent. Other flowers filled the house. The debut was attended by yards of newspaper chatter and by new photographs. Fanchon had fought against the photographs. But fought helplessly as she could give no reason why her picture should not be in the paper. Very late, the night of the dance, as the last guests were leaving, she was dancing with Collin. He held I her closely, too closely. He said, hoarsely, looking down at the radiant face, the golden skin and the soft red mouth. “I can’t stand it, Evelyn ... “Collin?” she asked, on the breath of a whisper. “I hadn’t meant to speak. I swore I wouldn’t," he muttered, "but I can't endure it. You’re too lovely. Too dear. I love you too much. I’ll clear out of town as soon as I can—” “Ah—Collin . . .” she said again ■ on the breath of a sigh. Looking down at her, he knew. He held her to him with a low, short laugh of triumph. But it .vas short lived. He remembered. They both remembered. "Happy?” asked Mrs. Carstairs, as at dawn, she came into Fanchon's room where Emma was helping her to undress. “It was perfect,” Fanchon told her, and kissed her in gratitude and love. She lay after Mrs. Carstairs and Emma had left, fingering the pearls —not such a small string after all . . . v/hich had come to her from “Aunt Jennie and Collin.” They slipped through her fingers, cold and heavy. They were very beautiful. Pearls are for tears, she thought. She loved Collin; and he loved her. He had told her. Happiness was like a flame burning through her and sorrow was like another flame. Between them she would be consumed. For it was impossible. He must go away and forget her; and she, she must go away, too, out of this Fools’ Paradise which she had stolen. Two days later she was entering the apartment A rather shabby thin man who had been hanging about near the doors, despite the doorman’s stern injunction, watched her dismiss the car and walk toward the entrance. He darted toward her and slipped something in her hand and crossed Fifth Avenue against

Oyer, radio evangelist, gave an influential message last night on the subject. "Who Is ( a Christian?” He held the interest of the congregation with his dis-' cussion of this important question, pointing out the fact that manj who call themselves Christians are merely so dy profession but not in reality according to God's Word. The message was preceded by ' an inspirational song service which i 1 included special songs by the i ' Messenger party. Tonight Rev. Oyer will speak on the subject. ! "The Order of Salvation." stressing conversion and water baptism > especially. He will answer such • questions as: Is water baptism

the lights, running, weaving his way in and out of traffic, a policeman shouting after him. Bewildered, Fanchon looked down at what her hand held. An envelope small, addressed in pencil, bne tore it open. Was it a begging letter? “Come,” said the note, without salutation, “to the above address. 1 will wait all day tomorrow. Otherwise I will go to Mrs. Carstairs. The address was in Brooklyn. 1 nr signature read . . . “Tony. Fanchon stood in the pleasant, quiet apartment house lobby and read the scrawled note again; ami again. Then she crumpled it in her hand and walked steadily toward the elevator. . _ Tony had found her at last. 1 onv hi d traced her to this little haven ot peace, and of security, lony had traced back to claim her. How had he found out where she was . . .? under whose name she was living her enchanted and threatened existence? . , Suddenly, now that he had struck, now that she knew she could no longer go on. she was not afraid, one was cold, chilled through, with some curious icy determination that as y t she could not name She could face Tony, she could fight him, she couu ask his terms, she could try to ' e them as long as they included n° return to a love that no longer existei Having known Jennie Carstairs, having fallen in love with Cornu having lived, by day and night witn the realization of what Jennu - knowledge of her deception wouu mean to her, having laid steeple--, tortured with the thought ot Collin s love for her and hers for him am its utter hopelessness, she was no longer afraid of Tony. With this in her heart she went to the Brooklyn address on the following afternoon. , . . It was easy to provide herself wi . means and an excuse for this minor deception. The Carstairs had several cars; and two chauffeurs. Thereto ■ a car and a driver were always at Fanchon’s disposal. Collin drove
