If you doubt that Decatur is a busy place, try to park your car down town most any afternoon or evening. Either there is an unusual amount of static just now or the j earthquakes are causing the radios to perform rather badly. So far wc haven’t heard of a cure. The basketball season is getting started nicely and will be ready to absorb the entire interest of | faint by the time the football squads have completed their goal making. — ——: The Italians continue to push I forward in Ethiopia while anuouncing there is no war. The natives I who arc being driven ahead of them probably wonder what it is if it isn’t modern war. It won’t be long now. it is re- | ported that the thermometer reg . istered twenty below zero at Hare. I Montana, which is below average | even up in that northwest country where it really gets cold and stays 1 that way. The wise merchant is arranging | for his Christmas advertising now. The people here have money to I spend and will do so. Now is the, time to build sentiment and desire' that can be cashed in on in a month from now. The 1936 automobiles are beautiful and more complete than ever. And it doesn’t cost any thing to look at them and wish you had one. By the way, that industry I the past year expended about SIOO,-1 000,000 in wages to their workers. I Indiana has spent seventy-five million dollars for new automobiles this year, an increase of one-third over last year. Who says the depression isn’t over? And the manufacturers and dealers arc planning a better business next year. Plan now' to buy the folks a new car for Christmas, a diamond ring, a stove, clothing or dresses, shoes, furniture, hardware or any thing that will please, surprise and help them. Don't wait until the last minute. Now is the time to plan, to buy and to get it off your mind. Decatur is rated as the best picture show town in Indiana in proportion to population, which is a good reputation for that means our people have money to spend for pleasure and entertainment. This city has three good picture shows, each doing au excellent business. Next Monday is Armistice Day, observing the seventeenth anniversary of the closing of the World War. Several million American soldiers who took part in that al-

i fair, thought they were fighting i that there could be no more wars i but many have lived to see that ; hope made a joke and just now several nations arc lighting and ‘ ( others are upon the brink. There t' is little doubt but that this nation wishes to continue peace and that a great majority of our people will . oppose any efforts otherwise, ex- : cept as a matter of defense. Elections are being held over I the country today but it is not ex- * peeled they will furnish much of a ' line on next years results for the j reason that in almost every ini stance, the issues are entirely 1 local. In Indiana elections are being conducted today in a number of towns where of course matters pertaining to the community are the chief issues. The state of Kentucky is electing a governor but the results will not prove the strength of Democratic or Republican party. The Democrats are i divided, the present governor refusing to support the nominee ■ with chances favoring the election of King Swope, Republican. In New York likewise, the issues are largely, if not entirely local. Whatever the results today, you may judge for yourselves as to the importance in 1936. Starting today and continuing until Thanksgiving eve, a national committee, headed by Eddie Rickenbacker and assisted by VicePresident Garner. ex-President Hoover and a hundred other celebrities, invite the public to contribute to a memorial fund for the late Bill Rogers, actor, writer and philosopher whose death caused ' such general and genuine sorrow. I .lust how the money will be used I lias not been determined but it has i 1 been decided that no cold piece of i marble or stone is to be set up. i Rather do those in charge hope Ito provide and endow with the money thus raised, some movement I that will assist and help many ’ people. Avon Burk of Decatur has been named chairman here and every person so desiring, will be given the opportunity to give any amount he may desire. It will not be a drive, but a good will ofl feriug, it being desired that those and those only who wish to do so, I contribute. ♦ «| Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ - - -— - — — , .■ — ~ Q. Would it be proper to tip a I trained nurse, who has been unj usually efficient, when leaving a [ hospital? A. No; don’t do it. A trained nurse belongs to the professional I class and would probably resent such an offer. However, a nice gift of some kind would be all right. Q. Should a young man arrange , for his bride-to-be to meet his par- ' ents before the engagement is ani nounced? A. Yes, unless his parents live a long distance away. Q. When invited to a ball, 1 should one arrive promptly at the ■; hour specified? A. One may arrive from ten to I thirty minutes after the hour specified.
