The country has just about reached the stage of saying in unison, ■'Hail to the Chief.” The first of the several circuits of cheery Christmas lights have been turned on. Look ’em over. Albert B. Fall, secretary of interior in the Harding cabinet is dying. He is a broken-down old man and no doubt will be glad when the end conies. To be judged by others as violating a public trust is the worst punishment man can suffer. About 200 children will not see Santa Claus this year unless the Good Fellows make his visit possible. The fund is growing and with a donation of a few dollars from you and those who wish to distribute Christmas cheer, Christmas eve will be a happy time for: the needy. Do it. Several of the stores are open evenings this week and beginning next Monday practically every retail establishment will be kept open until about nine o’clock for the accomodation of Christmas J shoppers. If you find it impossible to shop during the day, come up town in the e»ening. Chief of Police Melchi had an "eye tor business," when within I<> minutes after receiving a long distance call to be on the look-out for a thief, he stepped around the corner and said, “there's my man." The chief found the stolen money on the man and the Muncie police officers said, "congratulations." The Supreme court has denied the pica of Bruno Hauptmann, convicted Lindbergh kidnaper for a new trial. The present rumpus over the guilt of the kidnaper is unfortunate, since the courts nave decided the matter and that is generally the way justice is dealt out in this country. Hauptman was no doubt implicated in the kidnaping, for he has never satisfactorily explained why he had more .than SII,OOO of the ransom notes hid iu

With courage, conviction and a degree of humility, probably never shown in any great leader, except possibly Lincoln, the President talked to the American people, discussed their problems with them and assured them he was striving j to help. His talk to the farmers iu Chi- ■ cago was one of the highlights in history. In the course of his remarks he pointed out, "Economic life of the United States is a seamless web. Farm prosperity cannot exist without city prosperity and city prosperity cannot exist without farm prosperity." The President drew a word pic- ; ture of the sufferings indured by farmers due to the suffering iu the land of plenty, because those who lived in the city did not have the money to buy the farm produce. , The farmer practically starved, al-' though the granaries were burst-1 ing with "products of your labor." Humility was demonstrated by I the great President. “It was a i great emergency and it required swift action. Mistakes were inevitable because it was a new field." Concluding his speech, the President said. "We who strive for cooperation among all parts of our great population in every part of the nation, we intend to win | through to a better day. We strive ■ for America, and if we shall succeed, as by God's help we will.' America will point the way to-i wards a better world." The honorary degree of Doctor ■ lof Laws was conferred on Presi-1 ■ dent Roosevelt by Notre Dame ; Father O'Hara, cultured and learn-1 ed divine, paid a nation's tribute | on the Chief Executive in these words, “On a leader and ruler, who. with faith and invincible courage when other brave men were falter-1 I ing. took he reins of government j lat a crisis which threatened with collapse and chaos the civilization and institutions of our country and' the rest of the world; and who is now by achievement even more than by official position the first citizen of our republic." America will continue to follow the great leadership of President Roosevelt. Not since the time of Jesus Christ has there been a man in exalted or high position who every tried to carry through a new day for the mass, or the forgotten l man. as the President has demon-1 strated since becoming the occu-' pant of the White House.

DIVIDED LANES ' HOADS SOUGHT ; I —1 James I). Adams Urges Nation-Wide System 1 Os Improvements Miami. Fla.. Dec. 11. — (U.P.) — A ' nation wide system of divided-lane highways and development of roads 1 to keep pace with automotive on- 1 gineeriug were given today by James D. Adams, Indiana highway 1 conimluiou chairman, as the soln- i lion to the complex auto fatality problem. ' Adams, speaking before the Am- 1 erican Association of Highway Officials in annual convention here. 1 challenged the organization to devise a universal program to make highways safer for all forms of traffic. "We will be remiss not to pre- 1 sent to the people a gigantic program for making our arteries of • 1 travel safer for traffic," Adams said. "If we do not come forward with a plan, motorists organizations will devise one which probably will not be as practical as one which an organization such as ours could

present. "The time is ripe for the high i way industry to make plans for' construction and future develop ment of long lines of divided-lane highways. American people will accept the plan, the motoring public is ready for it, truckers will welcome it, and newspapers will lend their support." Citing rising figures iu auto fatalities, Adams blamed highway departments throughout the nation tor not "keeping pace with the automotive engineers in development of suiter highways." "Suiter-powered automobiles are being built, some to travel as fust us 100 miles per hour. Our pres-ent-day highways will not permit cars to travel that fast and be reasonably safe for the passengers. “Our highways are not being built to stand such travel, aud with the ever-increasing truck traffic, we must wisely consider construetiou of roads of the future. “The motoring public pays for our highways aud therefore should be g?veu the benefit of our engineering knowledge aud be given the fullest protection of improved roads."
