You'll damage the street in front of your house, providing it is of black top material, if you burn leaves on it. The heat melts down the pavement and entails no little expense to repair it. Don't burn leaves on black top streets. Erance will join England if the latter country is attacked by Italy in the Mediterranean sea and that means other complicaions from which a world conflict might result. The condition is serious and the world prays it will be spared another ghastly conflict as that experienced in 1918. Under the supervision of County "Engineer Walter Gilliom a bridge and road repair program is being - carried out, giving employment to 40 Wl’A men. Three narrowbridges are lieing replaced with wider structures, adding to the safety of drivers and completing a very worthy improvement. The " roads are also being put in shape “ for safer travel and winter use. The public appreciates this step. , The new 1936 cars are on display in Decatur and dealers have a right to “point with pride’’ to 2 them. Sales during the coming months are expected to be heavier ■“ than in previous years and the • factories are being put in gear to • turn out nearly four million cars -in the next 12 months. Backing their judgement must be the fact ~ that the people have the money to ... buy the new models. Encourag- “ ing indeed. Tributes to the memory of the - late Martin Worthman, for many years the guiding hand of Decatur’s school system and known in educational circles throughout the State, were paid by the teachers at the Northeastern Indiana conference in Fort Wayne yesterday. With his many and important duties, Mr. Worthman also served as secretary of the teachers' association. They knew of his unselfish service and the desire he carried in his big heart to serve the other fellow, be it individual, group or community. His services will be missed by those in the association and tfee eulogies paid to his memory were expressive and sincere. SAVES TAXPAYERS. DiM'ing the depression the State Legislature has tried to be liberal with”” delinquent taxpayers and various’ laws were enacted, reduc-

ing penalties and even permitting the spreading of the payments over ten years. Now a new law is about to become effective and offers the deliuqueut a chance to save themselves some money. If delinquent taxes for the years 1931. 1932 and 1933 are paid by Nov. 4 the final tax-paying day, the slate may be wiped clean by paying interest at 3 per cent. If, however, the delinquency is not paid by this date, the old penalties are dropped and a new penalty of 10 per cent is added. Thus the taxpayer has the opportunity to save the difference between a 3 per cent interest charge and a 10 per cent charge. Until changes in the law were made the penalty was 10 per cent and added to this was a 6 per cent interest charge. Thus it can be seen that the 3 per cent interest charge is just about as liberal us the Legislature could be and still provide a penalty, the purpose of which is to encourage payment. —Newcastle Courier-Times. TIMELY ATHLETIC REFORMS: Officials of the Indiana High School Athletic Association deserve approbation for their decision to prohibit playing of any interscholastic haseketball games prior to November 1. The rule will become effective next year. This will tend to discourage overemphasis of the net game, improve the health of players by reducing the training period that coops them up in stuffy gymnasiums, it will encourage support of football, a fine outdoor sport for Indiana's bracing fall weather. The Star long has advocated shortening the basketball season as a boon to high schools where the basketball craze has reached unwise extremes. The athletic officials probably recognized the value of lopping another month from the season, permitting no games prior to Dec. 1. in deference to smaller schools, they undoubtedly preferred to achieve this reform by degrees. Basketball is a *ffn? sport, deserving its great popularity, but it should not be permitted to dominate the athletic calendar to the detriment of other activities. The athletic organization also established a rule requiring presentation of parents' and physicians’ certificates before a student may participate in team practice. Heretofore this safeguard has been applied only to contests with other schools. Enforcement of this rule will begin with the opening of the 1936-37 season. It will protect the health of students whose condition makes the strain of athletic competition hazardous. — Indianapolis Star.

It must be said for the Liberty League’s volunteer Lawyers commission to advise, and perhaps admonish, the supreme court, that it lacks neither courage to arise above ethics, nor lack of appreciation of Its own importance. Though composed principally of attorneys who have received huge fees for representing large corporations, and other interests fighting various phases of the Emerg ency legislation which are due to come up before the high tribunal, its liferature announces that it is constituted without consideration of Gift "political, social or economic views of its members. ’’ Now it develops that not only is it asking practicing lawyers to join the movement but is extending the same invitation to sitting judges who in the nature of things are likely to have to pass on phases of the very questions the curous organization was created to combat. Among the others to whom—much to his astonishment —tne invitation was extended was Justice Carew of the Supreme Court of New York. His reply to what he terms "The Republican Auxiliary Committee. the Lawyers Liberty League" was written across the face of the invitation which was signed by Raoul E. Desvernine, Chairman: “Sir and to your colleagues: I regard this as impudence and I do not desire to receive this or any other communication of its kind. “John F. Carew.” He liekwise referred to "their impudent attempt to bulldoze judges." Other members of the judiciary have replied in similar terms. Incidentally it might be of interest to review the experiences of such of the eminent attorneys who are engaged in the disinterested and impartial business of furnishing advisory opinions to the Supreme Court in advance of its decisions. Only about a dozen of them have appeared in the high court; forty-four of them have not attained that distinction. Mr. John W. Davis holds the record for such appearances. He was turned down only fifteen times by the Supreme Court, in the past ten years while his contentions were upheld seventeen times. So it might be assumed that it was a 17 to 15 shot that he could guess right on what the Supreme Court is going to do—provided that his client’s interest did not bias his guess. One of his famous cases was that of the Lake States against Illinois for diverting the waters of Lake Michigan to take care of its drainage system. The interference with the rights of a sovereign state was in question. Mr. Davis and his colleague Mr. Beck insisted that the power of Chicago to do as it pleased with lake water was inviolable. “Nothing doing,” was the effect of Justice Holme's announcement of the court's verdict against the state of Illinois. “H its constitution stands in the way of prompt

action," said Justice Holmes, "it must amend it." The chances for Mr. James M. Beck, based on this record, are not quite so good. He showed up in the solemn chamber ten times, and eight of these times he lost. One of his cases was on the question of whether a city ordinance ordering . the storage of gasoline under- j ground contravened the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. In his argument for the unconstitutionality of the ordinance, Mr. Beck was joined by Mr. Earle W. Evans, another of the Liberty League patriots. They represented, re-, spectively, the American Petroleum I Institute and Atlantic Refinery j Company and Standard and Siu-1 clair Companies—and the court ue-' cided against them. Another of Mr. Beck's cases was . an appeal from a lower court de-. cision sustaining the authority of I the Secretary of Agriculture in prescribing the rates to be charged by commission men in the Omaha packing plants. It was the Fiftn Amendment —the one about prop-! erty being taken without due pro-| cess of law, —that Mr. Beck invok-: ed. Justice Brandeis in rendering the court’s opinion, found in effect that the Secretary of Agriculture's authority was O. K. Mr. George W. Wickerksham broke even in his adventures with the Supreme Court. That is, he won three cases and lost three. Mr. Frederick R. Coudert, Jr., lost two cases out of three, and Mr. Hal H. Smith, another of the Liberty League shining lights,- met defeat in the one case in which he appeared. Mr. Frank J. Hogan was one of i • the hard luck boys. He was unsuc-! ’ cessful in his attempt to convince I i the Supreme Court that the Gov- I I ernmeut was exceeding its const!-1 ■ tutional powers in cancelling leas- ■ •les of oil lands in California. Just-1 ■ icc Butler pronounced the Court's | i verdict that the whole business ■ was tainted by corruption—the' ■ leases were made by Secretary of . the interior Albert B. Fail—and ■ so they were voided. i Another of Mr. Hogan's ceiebrat- ■ ed cases was that of Win. I‘. Me i Cracken. former Assistant Secrc ■ tary of Commerce, who was sent • to jail for contempt of the Senate, for destroying records having to i do with air mail contracts. The 1 - Court sustained authority of the I Senate, to impose the penalty, and therefore reversed the decision of i the Court of Appeals which had ; granted McCracken's habeas corp- ’ us. This though Mr. Hogan had eloi quently argued the uncoustitutioni ality depriving the Assistan Sec--1 retary of Commerce of his liberty i under the circumstances. None of this recital is meant to suggest that the distinguished at- • torneys in question are not good ■ lawyers or. even great lawyers. It ■ merely seeks to point out that the ponderous assumption of infallibility in construing the Constitution . of the United States may not be

wholly authentic. Appeals to the

Supreme Court are expensive luxuries and it must not be supposed that these gentlemen were putting their clients to vast expense if they did not think their view of the law must be agreed to by the grave Supreme Justices. So that in many instances it appears either that they were honestly wrong in their contentions, or to take the shocking alternative of assuming that they were trying to persuade the highest court in the land to go awry.

Their efforts to get state judges to throw in with them as typified by the approach to Supreme Court Justice Carew of New’ York- and that is no isolated instance—makes one wonder it they have ever thought of approaching the members of the National tribunal of last reSort? * Why not, if their motives are as pure as they affect? o - ♦ ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printsd on Page Two. ♦ • 1.

NEW PONTIACS ARE DISPLAYED New 1936 Models Are On Display At Dealers | In Decatur Three lines of new Pontiac mod els for 1936. the straight eight, six and de luxe six, are now on public view in Pontiac dealers' salesrooms throughout the country. They sell at prices which put: them within the range of the low est priced cars on the market. , The “silver streak’’ radiator and hood grille that formed the ven i tral design motiff of 1935 and earned for Pontiac the descriptivej characterization of the "most beautiful thing on wheels," continues as the basic theme with certain , pleasing changes that reflect even greater refinement of taste and more artist!? beauty than was ex pressed In the original, says Pon tiac Dealers in this city. Improvements included in the 1936 line are greater in number than they were for the 1935 models and fully as Important to the motorist. Many of them are not as apparent at a glance and probably none of them stand out as boldly as Fisher turret top bodies, hydraulic, tripled sealed brakes or, the sealed chassis of 1935. A close examination discloses i that the Pontiac engineers have gone through the 1935 chassis and j bodies, feature by feature, refining this one and perfecting that one. keeping in mind the comfort and convenience of the motorist, and the economy, performance and safety of the car. A ten minute ride in a new Pon- j tiac model with a well informed salesman should be taken to realize the "significance of many of the improvements. Nineteen Body Styles The straight eight and de luxe six are available in six body styles each, while seven are mounted on the six chassis. Common to all lines are two-door and four-door touring sedans (with built-in trunk), all accomodating five passengers; the standard coupe for two passengers and the sport coupe for four passengers. The cabriolet built for four passengers is also available on the six chassis. Probably the most striking change in external appearance is in the front end treatment, where the chromium grille has been crowned as it sweeps up over the radiator

CHAPTER XIV By the end of May, Irene’s apartment on Park Avenue, though far from complete in its furnishings, was already charming as she and Dirk sat at breakfast, in the breakfast nook that was just a shade too quaint, she looked about her with gratification. “The apartment’s beginning to look quite livable, don’t you think so, Dirk darling?” “Charming, dear. Frankly, I had doubts about the place. I don’t particularly care for these box-like rooms, but you have done wonders. I like irregular rooms, long halls, old-fashioned trappings like the place we saw on Gramercy Park, but I must admit that you’ve contrived to make this place look almost as though we’d inherited it. Do you know, I think I actually hate new things. I resent them—probably because I don’t recognize them. You know what I mean, don’t you?’’ “Yes.” She leaned over to kiss him. Irene was still in the chameleon stage with Dirk. Since she had met him she had shed her personal love for new and glittering things—she even persuaded herself (after doing some exhaustive research on the subject) that she loved antiques, and had managed with her usual thoroughness to assemble a very creditable replica of an English gentleman’s home. Anastasia, when she saw her daughter’s apartment for the first time, thought it very shabby and didn’t hesitate to say so. When Dirk was away, Irene couldn’t help thinking so, too, but the habit acquired during her courtship of Dirk—of appearing to share all his tastes—still had a grip on her. Irene poured herself coffee from the silver urn. “Reconciled to living on Park Avenue, darling?” He grinned. “According to fiction and the movies, I guess we’re the only respectable family on Park Avenue." “Nonsense. Mama's respectable. That makes two families.” “We’re simply slaying the tradition.” “Oh, dear, mania’s having trouble with her maid again?” She lowered her voice as her trim maid brought in a packet of mail and laid it on the table. “There’s not a maid alive can work for her. She's the world’s worst tyrant” “Oh, I say, I like her. It seems to me you’re always ragging her.” "Nonsense. I adore her. I always think of her as our very own commander-in-chief. Why, if I miss seeing her one day I begin to pine for her actually.” Dirk drained his cup. “I’ve got to fly, sweet. There’s a social workers’ conference at ten at the Russell Sage Foundation.” "Dirk, do you really like social workers?” “They’re not so bad. No more fatuous thae any other group of people, although some of the intense females are a little trying.”

She got to her feet “If you had a decent job, you wouldn’t have to rush off at nine like a clerk,” she said petulantly. He patted her cheek. “Irene, please. Why, you haven’t looked at your mail,” he suggested, to distract her. She shrugged. “Oh, just congratulations and still more congratulations. Oh, I sent the Kayles a lovely letter thanking them for the tea service.” “Fine. It’s a pretty weighty tea service, what?” “Why, it’s gorgeous, Dirk. Must have cost close to a thousand.” “Yep, pretty gorgeous. Typical of the Kayles. Always the grand manner . . “Don’t be so snobbish, Dirk. Oh, here’s a letter from Madame herself. I wonder what she wants.” She slit open the heavy creamy envelope with her fruit knife. “Oh, how nice!" She was really delighted. “We’re invited to a week-end at their place in Tuxedo Park. Oh, oh, Dirk, Lolita and His Lordship are here on a visit and she says she wants us to meet them, darling!” “But I've met His Lordship," Dirk observed dryly. “I assure you he’s no treat." “Oh, but we’re going.” “You won’t enjoy it, Irene. They’re such vulgar people.” “Oh, Dirk, we must go!” “I shouldn’t like to, pet. Old Kayle is still dangling his damn job at me. Madame is the world’s worst bore. She’s the sort of good, but misguided person who spits at one in her enthusiasm. And while I hate to be uncharitable and intolerant, I must confess, darling, that his Lordship gives me a pain precisely where I sit.” “Dirk! And you call the Kayles vulgar!” “Just trying to be light-handed, darling. 1 hope you don’t insist on going.” “Dirk, but I do.” “Very well, darling, if you’re really set on going, write and accept. Only please don’t let's get involved with them in return invitations. But Im sure you won’t like Er ,n ’.” h® added in a relieved voice. “I think to be exposed to them once is enough to cure one. Come, kiss me. I really must fly now. Going downtown?” “Yes, dear, a little later. Goodbye, my dearest dear. Oh, and thanks for being so sweet about the Kayles." Irene hadn’t expected the Terhunes to make any difficulties for her. She considered them harmless, ineffectual people, whose only value was their social connections. She dismissed them from the active part of her mind. The Rileys were harder dispose of but even this she achieved. Since her marriage she had so encompassed herself in grandeur and formality that, though she lived only four houses away from Anastasia, it might have been
