This youug Manville heir is improving. He’s made up with his fourth wife and if he keeps on might want to go back and remarry the other three. The only advice that we might offer the 96 year old bridegroom and the 72 year old bride on their marriagt is that they say the first 100 years are the hardest. Franklin Roosevelt has not lost his faith in the country and in the future. He will live to see a greater America., built from the foundations laid from 1932 to the present time. Huntington wants to spend $30,000 on electric line improvements and at the same time proposes to increase it. city's tax rate from 97 | cents to $1.17 on the SIOO. The pimhc may not take kindly to such a program. Improvements are wanted and generally will be ac- . cepted at slight increase in the tax rate. It may be necessary for Mayor Bangs and his administration to revamp their style and start from the bottom up. Such a tax levy seems preposterous compared ■ to Decatur's 40 cent rate. The Adams County Conservation League, the City Board of , Health and other organizations • have gone on record in favoring the building of a sewage treatment plant. Pollution of the old St. Mary's river would be stopped and the stream could be turned into a recreation center with bathing and boating facilities offered. The Conservation League has offered to assist in the building of dams across the stream which would serve to maintain an adequate water level during the dry seasons. A great deal of interest was shown in the hearing on the building of the new school house at Geneva. Hundreds of Geneva and Wabash township citizens were in attendance.

people and the individual Is eni titled to his opinion. It does seem rather risky to maintain a building that is not safe from a construction standpoint and the trustee no doubt acted wisely in abandoning the structure which was condemned after state inspection. The life of one child is worth more than a settlement of build Ings and to house children In an unsafe school room would be tolly. Until engineer's estimates are given, it is impossible to estimate the annual cost of operating a sewage disposal plant, including payments on bonds and interest. The council and city officials are considering various methods of raising this amount if the plant Is built, the idea being to make the annual charge the less burdensome on the public. Part of it may be added to the water bills, a portion raised by general. taxation and if possible a margin carried by the water department of the city plant. The bonds, covering 55 per cent of the investment and the interest thereon must be paid In a majority of the cities the financing of sewage treatment plants has largely been done by adding the charges to the water customers, or those who use the sanitary sewers. Decatur hopes to work out a plan that will bring the charges to a minimum. LEGIONS CROWNING EVENT The crowning event of the Ind iana state convention of the American Legion was the parade yesterday afternoon. It was a fitting climax to the most interesting and widely (attended session in the history 'of the organization. The story of the parade can not be told merely by reciting the thousands that were in the ttnc of march, the number of bauds, the fife and drum corps or how many hours the marchers were in passing a given point. All that was record-breaking and informative, Init gives no adequate conception of the spirit that pervaded the most colorful event in Indiana since the stirring World War days. The pageant exceeded not only the predictions of its sponsors, but the expectations of the thousands who had gathered along the line of march. It was inspiring and gave to those of the rising generation a new conception of and respect for the part Indiana played in the World War. Tbe precision with which the parade moved according to schedule was characteristic of all the program of the convention which opened last week and will close today. There had been nothing overlooked in the preparations for the coming of the visitors and there was no hitch in the proceedings. While the entertainment feature were most in evidence, and a large majority of the veterans and their friends came for a good time and to participate in the parade, there was much serious business taken up in the session of the legion and its auxiliary. Indianapolis has been greatly impressed by the fine spirit that has prevailed from start to finish. Thousands have enjoyed themselves in the best of good spirits and with decorum that has beeu a credit to the members of the legion.—lndianapolis Star. o MARCONI — CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE | nouncement would be made, he said, until he had obtained patents. Those wno heard the wireless wizard got the impression that if his experiments met with the expected success he would be able to paralyze operations of fleets and airplanes, halt automobiles. bring to a halt all types of military mechanized units, and take warfare back to the toot soldier and cavalry era. There have been many reports, in scientific circles, of rays that would halt airplanes. The one today came as a calm assertion from the man who at 25 instituted practical wireless transmission and who won the 1906 Nobel prize in physics. - 0-——' Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
