He won both of his world series games, overshadowing the efforts of Schoolboy Rowe who dropped both to the Cubs. Such is fame in the baseball world. How is the electric wiring in your store building or house? An uninsulated wire might cause a disastrous blaze and during fire prevention week it's a good time to inspect the wiring and where • repairs are needed to make them. Decatur welcomes the opportunity of visiting the first FHA house built under the government's plan. The home erected by Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Butler on North Second street is modern in every respect and is evidence of what can be done' under the FHA. After all community life and civic pride center around the home and the more houses built the greater this spirit will grow. The so-called potato control act has not yet been put in force and probably will not be. Secretary Wallace may find reason to hold up Ole enactment of the provisions and that would please farmers and potato growers in this section. Indiana produces only about half of the potatoes it consumes and the processing tax would increase the price where there is not any over production. Nearly every Indiana congressman voted against the law. The Detroit Tigers are the champions of the baseball world and from Mickey Cochrane on down to the mascot, the fans celebrate with them. The deciding game, one of the hardest fought and most interesting of the series, ended four to three for the Tigers. The Cubs had two games to their credit and fought to the last second to tie the series. This is Detroit's first world s series victory, losing the pennant last year to the . St. Louis Cards.

Fire Chief "Bob" Robenold urges local citizens to observe fire prevention week in spirit and action. Basements and attics should be cleared of papers and hazards which lead to fires should be removed. Chimneys and furnace pipes should be checked and repairs made. Not only this week, hut throughout the year, the utmost care should be exercised in' ’ preventing fires, Decatur has had a low fire loss for several years' and wants to keep it that way. Keep the hoboes and tramps ou the move. No provision has been made to provide sleeping quarters for the knights of the road and this community has its own job of caring for the needy without strangers floating in. Under the I'WA and WPA work relief plans, the average fellow who wants to work can get a job and should go tp work. Its alright to feed the

hungry and shelter men from the i cold, but give an inch and soon the whole unemployed army infests the community. Keep thorn on the move. t BOON FOR CRIPPLED YOUTH: Dedication today of the pool at the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children provides an tin- . usually fitting program for the birthday anniversary of the be- , loved Hoosier poet. Exercises i throughout the state usually mark ' the date, but this year the hydrotherapeutic pool adds to the splendid service the Riley Hospital 1 renders to Indiana's crippled childreu. The pool is regarded as one of the best in this part of the country, comparable with that at Warm Springs. G*. The curative element was made possible by the combined contributions of the Riley Memorial Association, Indiana University and FERA. The pool will hasten the convalescence of many youngsters, giving them an equal opportunity to grapple with life's problems without the handicap of physical disabilities and their unfortunate complexes. Every citizen of the state, already proud of this institution. should renew his interest in the Riley Hospital, which ranks as one of the outstanding units of its kind in the country. A group of civic leaders will participate in the formal dedicatory program, which also will pay tribute indirectly to the poet whose name Hoosiers delight to honor. The public has been invited to witness the ceremonies and also to visit the hospital and grounds Tours will be made of the hospital Persons who have not visited the medical center recently should avail themselves of the opportunity to become more familiar with this outstanding health service. The grounds already have been landscaped and improvement of streets approaching the center will add to the attractiveness of the group of medical institutions. In providing the curative properties of the pool, the hospital officials have paid the finest tribute to Riley.—lndianapolis Star, o ‘star's IG naTs * by Octavine Fur persons who believe that humar destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

THREE INDIANA BALLOTS IN '36 Indiana Voters To Vote On Three Ballots Besides Local Indianapolis. Ind.. Oct. B—(UP)— Indiana voters of the 1936 election wil Ibave three ballots to cast besides their county and city tickets the state board of election commissioners announced today. On one ballot, voters choose 14 Presidential electors. The second will contain names of state candidates and the third will be used for vote on a proposed state constitutional amendment to permit negro enlistment in the state militia. The constitutional amendment was approved by the 1933 and 1935 legislatures. Separation of the state and national tickets was authorized by the 1933 legislature. A bill authorizing printing of the two tickets on the same ballot also was passed at the same session, but the supreme court held that it was invalidated because the separating act was passed later in the assembly. The Democratic majority in the 1935 legislature introduced a bill to place the two tickets on the same ballot again, but it failed to pass. Six million state, national and constitutional amendment ballots' were ordered printed by the election commissioners. Bids on their printing and other state printing for the period Dec. 1. 1935 to Dec. 1. 1937 will he opened by the board Nov 21. The total value of the contracts will be approximately $1,500.(WO.

Studio Employe Charged Witth Threatening Mae West Hollywood, Oct. B—(UP) George Janies, 38, studio employe arrested in a hunt for an extortioner who threatened to mar the beauty of Mae West, was questioned at the district attorney's office today. "1 didn't do it. 1 work in a cafeteria at the Fox studio, and my record will speak for itself,” Janios declared. . Detectives pounced on him when lia hovered near a dummy package under a palm tree in a vacant lot near the old Warner Brothers’ studio. ‘‘Of course I was scared.” drawled the actress, pale in a police statins. She wiggled her plump shoulderr in a gesture known to film fans. 'Whatayuh think I am, an icicle?” MUs West told police she receivcd six letters over a period of several weeks.
