It's leap year girls and remember that the mounted force "always gets their man.' Addis Ababa and Mussolini would each give a nice present to any one who could tell them just what will happen to them during the year 1986. With political headquarters opening in Indianapolis, it won't belong now until the main subject will be politics. It's going to be a busy year for a lot of folks. The one hundredth birthday of Decatur must and will be celebrated in some manner. Just how elaborately we should do this is still a question undecided but what ever plan is decided upon, the public will support. The holiday lights and trimmings are disappearing and the city will soon be back to a normal condition. We believe Decatur made th*- best appearance in history and we doubt if any cities of Indiana showed off to better advantage. A number of the old black and blue license tags are still noticeable on the cars and of course those who drive these are liable to arrest and lines. Better keep th<- old bus put aw y until you can arrange for the new crimson I and white plates. — The new license plates don't' give you any special authority to! drive recklessly and those who! use more care this year will be j happier. A nationwide campaign is on in a great effort to reduce the number of automobile casualties this year. Won't you cooperate? The Lindberghs are now in England aud it is to be hoped the cameramen aud the feature writers will permit them to live in peace. If they desire quiet and obscurity, it should be their privilege. Eventually they will perhaps feel different about their desires and about America, Governor McNutt has announced that those who desire to take part in politic* must sever their conauctions with the state adminig, I rat ion, a movement that will be approved by the voters in general. No one shouid have the right to use the state organization .or his personal ad va nceme nt. EXPERT RADIO SERVICE On All Make Sets CALL 211 Decatur Electric Shop - - -

More credit to the state highway commission for their plans to install flashing light signals at tho Pennsylvania crossings north ot Monmouth aud south of Decatui. At these intersections ot railway and highway, disastrous aud fatal accidents have occurred the past few years and any thing that tends towards lessening the death toll is deserving. Decatur's record for 1935 has been remarkable and no city this size in the country can boast a better record. In every way we have gone forward and there is a feeling of confidence that should make the pathways easier this year. No where will you find a better county than Adams or a better city than Decatur or better | towns than those of this community. We have much to feel grateful about. Let's keep moving. It’s time to renew your subscription to the Dally Democrat if you are receiving it by mail and we hope every one now in our big family of readers will do so during i the next few weeks. As we have, repeatedly told you, we will do every thing we cau to give you all the news and the best service that' can be arranged. Your home pap-; er speaks for you and deserves your support. By doing that you help make a better community. Lyster Webb, an Auburn boy. only eighteen years old. has confessed that he murdered his father because his mother, divorced from her busband, had offered him SI,OOO to do the job. How people can get themselves in such a condition of mind, can scarcely be ( imagined by sane folks. They will probably wish a million times that they had used other means to get even for any wrong, supposed or real, they must have felt. < Revelers on New Years spent more than ten million dollars in , the United States, indicating that j times are any thing but tough for a lot of the folks. New York led ; and it was an old time celebration,, ; the celebrators not only using the ' expensive clubs, hotels and res-! taurants. but parading the streets and making much noise. With' steam let off we presume every one | will now get down to brass tacks | and proceed to do their best to I make 1936 a better year than was 1935, which by the way, according to available statistics, wasnT so ! bad. Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE * ♦ I Q. Is it proper for a man to | wear a tuxedo to a party on SunI day evening? i ■ A. That depends entirely on ' whether the party is to be formal or informal. Ask the host or hos-1 test. It is very embarrassing to I be the only one in a party wearing formal attire. Q. Is it necessary to send a gift to a girl when notified that she is engaged to be married? A. No, it is not necessary. Q Where should the napkins be placed when giving a formal dinner? A. The napkins should lie in the place plates. Q—- <► Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee The Waffle Iron The waffle iron should be given I a good cleansing at least every ' sixty days.

replying to Republican attacks. The Republicans probably will be allowed their full say on any given subject, then, two or three days later, the "junta,” armed with statistics from- executive departments, will reply. This plan wan expected to upset some of the more fervent new deal defenders, particularly those eager for an attack rather than a defense. The White House maintained the usual strict secrecy of the probable contenl3"o£ the president s ' message. If congressional lead- • ers have been taken into his confidence they gave no indication of ' it. Mr. Roosevelt worked on the 1 speech in his study today. Observers agreed he is to sound the moderation keynote predicted i by Democratic congressional lead- ■ ers. The administration is maneuver-

ing for a short and uon-controvery ial session. President Roosevelt then could delay vital controversies for discussion and decision during the presidential campaign and election. Employment relief, taxation aud further regulation of business are paramount among the issues which Mr. Roosevelt easily cun avoid or attack this session. His tax bill presented last June sought legislation on inheritance and gilt levies, on personal aud corporate income taxation, and submission of a constitutional amendment to abolish the tax exemptions now accorded federal, state and local bonds. Inheritance taxation and the amendment remain to be disposed of. In
