When the new ornamental street lights axe up Decatur can boast of a twilight zone. Legislation may be new. but America goes right on having its share of murders. For those who don’t take vacations the summer months should have more holidays. Calfforniajis couldn't back a ‘•favorite son” in the Wimbledon tennis classic, but had no trouble in brtng for a “favorite daughter.” Doug Fairbanks said “Howdy” to Mary Pickford, his former wife and that was enough for the publicity agents to write a column about, it. And where does that leave us? The editor of a trade paper contends that one of the'best definitions of preseverance was given by a. colored preacher who said, "It means firstly to take hold; secondly to hold on and thirdly and lastly to Jiebber let go.” Not for a minute do we wish to. pose as a diplomat, but out here I in the country it does look like the United States used good judgment in uo; getting mixed up in the Italy-Elhiopiam confab. Let's settle some of our own trouble. A farmer living west of Decatur sold ,260 spring chickend from a couple classified ads. Readers of the Daily Democrat called him after his supply was exhausted. Needlees to say the farmer was convinced that it pays to advertise. The present generation has only kindly thoughts and reverance for John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who today celebrated his 96th birthday. One of the outstanding men of the world, he will be remembered as . a benefactor of mankind. May he live to be a hundred and more. A New York author publishes a list of the 10 greatest living ladies, naming three Americans. The list of the greatest women should include every mother in the world, who through sacrifice and loyalty contributes more to the ha.ppiness and success of the world than those best versed in drawing room manners. Cummins, the Columbus auto inventor, drove his Diesel-powered car from New York to Los Angeles at a cost of 37.63, averaging 34.6 miles to a gallon of oil. That’s cutting costs in half and sounds good to the motorists. It probably Hl not be long until the new type tor Perfected, and the country W Bee * change as great as that wdnessed when the aulo took the place of the horsej and buggy. What effect will it have O n taxes? Will the same tax be placed on oil?' Permits to sell whisky and gin

In towns under 5,000 population will not be granted by the State control commission unless councils adopt ordinances atilhorletng 'the sales. The state board has found that hard liquor is banned in 399 towns nd 26 county scats, where the population is under the required minimum and where enabling ordinances have not bean passed. From every angle it appears thut the liquor business In Indiana is to lie regulated and handled in ** sensible way.

Terre Haute, like other towns is proud of its industries and grate- . ful for the employment they furnish and do not want outsiders to come in and foment prejudices.

By HARRISON CARROLL • Copi/riffht, 1935, King Feature* SynSicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD — Hollywood was amused and Intrigued by the “Peeve” party King Vidor staged for the cast of “So Red the —Rose”.

King thinks unusual KM may prevent t King Vidor many of the small misunderstandings that come up in a big picture. Filmland considered the Idea with Interest Bing Crosby, who likes bls comfort, despises full-dress suits and refused to wear the collar and tie Paramount selected for him in “Two for Tonight". The payoff is he finally ended up wearing Gene Markey's. Joan Bennett talked him Into it and raided Markey’s wardrobe for the Items. It was no gag about Harold Lloyd going around with a milkman to get the knack of delivering bottles. He

did the early morning trick in the district south of Florence avenue and learned the fine points of the game from driver Thomas Barham. Among the things he found out are that there Is a definite technique of putting bottles down so they won t clink together; that milk can be delivered faster In a horse and wagon than In a truck and that a horse, once trained, knows every stop on the milk route. He makes them automatically. In Hollywood, as elsewhere, Max Baer’s defeat was a popular one, but the ex-champ had one rooter who burst into tears at the decision. It was little David Holt, who was to have played with Max in his Paramount picture. David sent the defeated boxer a telegram of sympathy. Maybe they were few and far between, and Max has come to know the meaning of friends. Anyway, David got a letter in reply. He's Hollywood’s proudest kid now, and will bet all comers that Max regains his championship. ' In case you've been wondering, the Jean Harlow novel has not found its I
