Ho’lywood now has a lurid suicide or murder mystery on its hands. It the locusts know anything about weather conditions, it s only about six weeks until frost. Our public parks are not places for intoxicated men to go and sleep off a jag. It is true the parks belong to the people, but that does not mean their use shall be abused. Confer with local dealers and contractors when contemplating new building or remodeling. These men maintain organizations to Serve you and will give you every advantage of quality material and good service. The American Sheet and Tin | Plate Company of Gary, evidently anticipates a steady run of business. It lias signed a contract for a minimum of $450,000 of electric current eaeh year for the nexit five years and is also spending about 20 million dollars for new buildings and equipment.

Frank Huck, jungle explorer and wild animal trainer didn't have to go to Africa U> film exciting scenes. Quickened by the intense heat, a giant python broke lose in Hucks training camp in New York state and nearly killed two tnen. If the cameraman was on the job, the public wiP soon see a real, honest to goodness fight with the wild beasts. It will probably be ten days until the new WPA organization moves along to the point of putting men to work. Details are being U-ranged in Indianapolis as quickly possible and those in charge hope to get the program started sometime after the twentieth of the month. Indiana is among the first three states to have its setup O. K. by Washington. Local dealers who have not received extensions or new licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages are complying witfi the spirit of the law by refusing to operate their places of business until such permits are received. It is the safe thing to do. As Governor McNutt said, "The State of Indiana is making an honest and determined effort to solve that problem, and with your help and cooperation believe we will solve ft.’’ A 10-year-old Fort Wayne boy was electrocuted when he touched a li.gh voltage trolley wire. The boy htd climbed on top of a work ear aM reached tor the wire. He was killed instantly. Playing near power houses, electric wires and transformers is dangerous business 1 and regardless of the safeguards and warning signs young chaps seem to have the desire to see how close they can get to danger. Don't

ever pick up an electric wire or take chances with electric equipment, labeled high voltage. * It is pleasing to his many friends ■ in Northern Indiana to note the appointment of Virgil M. Simmons, us deputy works progress administrator for Indiana. Mr. Simmons has proved his executive ability, vision and honesty in the several important state posts he holds. He will continue to act as comi missioner of the Indiana Conservation Department and executive head of the state highway commission. His training in these positions wTTI aid him in performing splendid service in the federal post, for which he will not receive any additional compensation. Wayne Coy, director of the WPA, appointed Mr. Simmons and he will find him an able and efficient assistant. Indiana will continue to make records in the public works field. FATHER JOSEPH WEBER: The Indianapolis Star paid the following editorial tribute to Father Joseph F. Weber, whose death occurred Sunday, and who had relatives and friends In this city: "A large section of Indianapolis will mourn the passing of Father Joseph F. Weber, who was a true shepherd of his flock. The founder and pastor of the Assumption Catholic Church was an intimate factor in the lives of his communicants. He participated in their pleasures and sorrows, counseled with them on various problems and played a leading role in the civic affairs of his area. His influence spread until he had been known for years as the "mayor of West Indianapolis." "The priet's prodigious labors during the disastrous flood of 1913 attracted ctty-wtde attention. He provided quarters for scores of mothers and children in the church and parish school when the swirling waters compelled evacuation of homes. After the emergency he donrfed jiyaalls and assisted in making 'the flood-swept residences habitable again. Until recent years Father Weber was a man of great physical vigor, which permitted the intense activity with which he persisted in ministering to all classes and conditions of folk. The poor never sought relief in vain, once he was convinced of their worthi-

I ness. “Father Weber’s intimate tpuch with the sentiment of the district , made him well-informed as to its views on public affairs and his opinion frequently was sought by political leaders. He was alert in furthering the civic welfare of the area and often appeared before the City Council and other official oodles to urge improvements to West Indianapolis. In the various ’ types of service rendered he was more typical of t*ie village cure : than the pastor of a large city par- : ish. He was ordained forty-six years ago and most of that time t was spent in the church in whose 1 construction he took an active part. 1 His death will be a personal loss 1 to the many who came not only ' for spiritual solace but for advice in the many problems affecting their daily lives.” o — < ♦ Modern Etiquette by ROBERTA LEE Q.

MEXICO PLANS RESERVE army Three Million Mexican Farm Workers V* ill Be Organized Mexico City, July 1" \U.RI Mexico iu. 3,000,000 plan for reserve army or farm workers, organza ' which has been started al eady, was revealed to the President Lazaro tan ' ll nounced the plan in a >P' 1 ‘ 1 - Guadalajara last night. tt is intended, he said, that all peasants worthy of confidence

shall be incorporated in the reserve to protect the Interests tint . have won in the land under the government's plan for reorganization of the economic system. He said he had given orders to | the military commandant of . Jalisco Stale, of which Guadala-, java is capital, to begin organiza-' lion there at once, and the plan | will be extended to the rest of the | country. Military officers will he detail ■'!' to take charge of peasant units, j In return for the government's I interest in organizing them for their own protection. Cardenas said, the peasants will be expected to cooperate in the economic program arfd particularly to aid in enforcing the policy of abolishing religious instruction in schools. An organization such as that contemplated would put a strong, easily mobilized force at the government's disposal to combat religious and other rebels, and many bandit bands, which have ranged the country in recent months. Through it the government could combat any uprising within a few hours of its start, whereas now the federal army must be called into pursuit. 0
