Next Monday is Labor Day. set| aside by congress as the one day of the year when the nation pays tribute to those who keep the wheels of industry and commerce going. It is a holiday in most states. In this state and also in Decatur business will practically | be at a standstill. Doing tilings differently is what appeals to the public. Powell Crosley, owner of the Cincinnati Reds pulled a good one when he lighted the ball diamond and started night baseball. Now he has added several thousand extra seats to accommodate the crowds and is planning for a big Saturday night. Help plan the Build Decatur program. It's your town and as one of the citizens you are deeply interested in its progress, churches, schools, health conditions and institutions. The more we work together the greater strides will be made. Decatur is growing and is destined to be a better town in every way. We must look to the future and build accordingly. The new Premier of Alberta, Canada, is going to have a sweet job. Elected on a social credit platform, he and his party pledged to pay to the 450,000 adult Albertans $25 a month. Sounds good. It will be like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. since he and the others elected promised to do it without increasing taxes or issuing new money.

The invention of a means of halting airplanes while up in the sky sounds uncanny, but of course is not impossible If Marconi perfects his wave, it will to a great extent eliminate the airplane in ! warfare, but then those who wish to light will do it on foot.

The best dispatch would lie that the war was called off. Fate is no respecter of wealth or royalty, so clearly defined in the tragic death of Queen Astrid of Belgium, killed in an auto accident.

Subscriptions amounting to $3,000 were taken at the organization's weekly luncheon, the sum to help finance purchase of materials for the pools. Although the total required is not large, the city had no available funds. Twelve | pools in districts not served by the I present municipal system are con- < templated. Request for co-oper-ation is expected to meet the approval of the Marion county Works Progress Administration. The labor cost is estimated at $25,000. The simplicity of plans will permit actual work without delay, once the project is authorized. The cement pools will have dimensions of 40 by 70 feet, with chlorinators to insure health protection. The popularity of the pool at College Avenue and Fall Creek Boulevard has demonstrated the value of these recreation features. —Indianapolis Star. ♦ 4 Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

TRYING TO USE BOOTLEG LIQUOR Government Departments Trying To Use Up Contraband Liquor Washington, Aug. 30—<U.R>~ I,us iness of the treasury's bootleg liquor department was booming today, with orders for 400,000 gal lons of contraband on hand and stocks of good stuff running low. Officials admitted ruefully that quality of the goods is bad. The treasury has been handling bootleg liquor for four months now. on orders of Secretary Henry Morgenthuu. Jr., and Attorney General Homer S. Cummings. They held that captured liquor should be used by the government wherever possible. instead of being dumped into the sewer. The task fell to Capt. H. E. Col lilts of the treasury's procurement division. So far he's distributed about 30,0011 gallons where it will do the most good. He has orders for 10 times that much, but can't fill them because most of his liquor is even harder on numan stomachs than it is on motor trucks. He sends nearly all the grain alcohol he gets to the war and navy departments, which use it to make gunpowder. That’s the biggest part of the business, and the easiest. • The revenue agents send him precious little whiskey, gin and wine, because they test it first and deliver to the captain only that liquor which isn't deadly. There isu t much. He distributes what there is to the government hospitals which need it for medicinal purposes. More often than not they ship it back, on the theory that they re supposed to cure their patients, not kill them. The veterans' administration sent in a requisition the other day for 1,800 quarts of scotch. Good scotch, it said. The captain had some scotch, but he didn't have any good

! scotch, so the order remains tin filled. The administration also wanted some sherry wine, but had to buy it. because the treasury didn't have any. The public health service has taken several hundred bottles ot | the treasury's bootleg whisky, mootly rye. and reports no disastrous results. The trucking department of the federal warehouse wasii t so | fortunate. The bead men thought perhaps the government’s liquor would make good anti-freeze. They tilled up one truck with scotch, another I with rye, and a third with bourbon. Then the trucking department tried to do its trucking and its troubles began. The liquor corroded the engines, burned holes in the water hose ,and finally turned into mush, like . breakfast food, which stopped the
