Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Natives of Ethiopia, living in the Harlem district In New York City, have enlisted for war and will tight for Emperor Haile Selassie, against the armies of Mussolini. It seems a needless war and the members of "Black Legion” used to the ease of the big city, will no doubt think they have bitten off a hunk before they are through with it. Indiana is leading other states in the federal housing remodeling program and also in the new building movement. The state organization is ably directed by R. Earl Peters and his enthusiasm and sincerity for the job is bringing about wonderful results. Remodeling of and building new homes means a better Indiana and every Hoosier is interested iu that.

The disregard for "stop" signs at intersections of state roads resulted in five deaths last week, the state highway commission reports. Traffic on state roads has the right-of-way and the state has caused the proper warning signals to be erected at all connecting points with the highway system. Observance of the caution and warning signs will save time, ’injury and death. Fort Wayne is considering purchasing the old postoffice building at Berry and Clinton streets. It may be a bargain and at some expense might be remodeled, but in keeping with the surroundings and other modern buildings in the district, it might be a better civic move to wreck the old stone structure and erect a new building. The move is on to make it headquarters for the police department. Newspaper headlines tell of 10,000 to 30,000 persons drowning in China as result of floods from tributaries of the mighty Yangtze river. Such a disaster hardly seems possible, but it must be remembered that most of China 'r four hundred fifty million population is scattered over a small part of the country. Many of the inhabitants live in the low lands and along the rivers and thousands could be trapped and drowned in a shorf time. The building of tire new orna mental lighting system on Second street is giving employment to about 20 men, most of whom are provided through the federal relief agencies. Materia 1 necessary for the system is paid for by the electric department of the city plant , and the entire improvement be- i comes an asset of the municipal ( utility. Property owners will not j be asseessed and no tax levy will t be made -to defray the cost of installation or upkeep. ; Indisme has all bills paid and 1 money In lhe hank, which during ' these days of government spending is a record. No bonds have been issued by the state, stale institutions and schools have been! open and operating and the stand-( ard set in this state is looked upon

with envy by neighboring commonwealths. In addition to paying its way, Indiana, wai one of the first slates in the Union to adopt old age penaions and at the sama time ' reduce property taxes about 35 per , cent. Indiana newspapers carried an Associated Press telegram from Kansas that the state had reduced property taxes 32% since 1929 and had reduced the debt 117,000.000. The Associated Press and these newspapers may not have heard that the state of Indiana reduced its property taxes 35% of $52,000.000 since 1929. While Indiana had no state debt to reduce its various counties, cities and townships have reduced their bonded debts $45,000,000 in the last three years. Kansas will have to do a little more reducing to attain that slender figure so much desired by states as well as women. —The Newcastle Courier-Times. Governor Talmadge. of Georgia, loudly proclaims that Roosevelt is nullifying state rights. The facts of this controversy are that Talmadge wanted the federal government to furnish 100 per cent of all the poor relief and let him dispense it in his own way. The government declined to send relief unless Georgia made some contribution. The legislature of Illinois tried to get away with that game but their relief money was cut off. Indiana and other states are glad Io pay 25 per cent of the cost of relief and let the federal government pay 75 per cent. If Governor Talmadge is such a sticker for state's rights why does not he refuse any government aid and tell the world Georgia will take ewe of her ow n people?

With the idea of preserving the beautiful trees along the state highways, a law was passed by the 1935 General Assembly, forbidding the trimming or removal of trees along without first obtaining permission to do so. These provisions are set out in Chapter 288 of the Acts of 1935, specifying, “That it shall be unlawful for any person intentionally to cut, triin, destroy, injure, molest or remove any tree, shrub, plant or vine within the right-of-way of any highway in the state highway system of the State of Indiana, outside of the corporate limits of any city or town, without the written consent of the State Highway Commission of Indiana. Any person violating the provision of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall pay a fine of not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred.” What's more inspiring than an avenue of elms, maples or oaks? k ST A R by OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

NAUS ATTACK GERMAN JEWS Jews Reported TerrorStricken In New AntiSemitic Outbreak Berlin. July 16.— (U.R> ~ A [ onK f expected, big scale outbreak of auti Semitic riots left Jews tn ter , ror today. There were strong indications that demonstrations in which Nazis •ranged the nW life district las night and In the early hours ot this morning marked the start ot a calculated drive to force Jews lo keep to themselves. . ! Men und women 'were k iclle<l and beaten in the riots the gravest since 1933—by well-organized bands ot Nazis, apparently led by storm troopers, who invaded restaurants and halted pedestrians and motorists in their search foi the hated non aryans.” Rioters were given the approval: of the government’s official news, agency, which called them ‘comrades.'’ i More serious than the fact of the * rioting was the fear that it was but 1 a beginning. A new anti-semit-.c campaign has been known to be imminent for weeks. It is regarded as due directly to the re-appearance <ff Jews in their former numbers in Berlin's west end where the night life centers. There have been frequent disturbances in the provinces, many inspired by the months-long antiJewish campaign ot Julius Streicher, Nazi anti-semite leader. But Berlin has been free of them until qquite recently. This was due partly to the fact that for months Jews were not seen prominently in the fashionable west end resorts. For several weeks, however, they have appeared in the"former numbers in cases and amusement places, particularly in the west end. In addition a large number ot refuge Jews lias returned, many with foreign passports which, to
