February is not only leap year month, but this year brings five Saturdays, commonly known as pay days. So far it has been the biggest coal using month and most of us are glad that it doesn’t contain more than 29 days. We heard a mother say she wanted to buy a couple of Centennial Good Will bonds for her children, so they could file away the certificates for the next generation. A good idea and one that will help in the sale of the ‘ baby bonds." Automobile accidents took a toll of 36,400 lives last year, an astounding total, but only about one-tenth of the number who >iie each year from heart trouble. We look after our automobiles, change the oil, renew the battery, replace worn parts, but let the greatest machine on earth wear itself down from worry and the everlasting i grind. You'll be thrilled when you learn of the plans for staging the great pageant in connection with the Centennial celebration. The chairman of the committee will be announced shortly and plans are already underway in getting subcommittees and co-workers in making one of the most historical demonstrations ever presented in this part of the state. A person signing himself "a subscriber,” makes the suggestion that citizens be asked to sprinkle salt on the icy sidewalks and comments, “it may save someone a broken arm or leg." it is a very thoughtful suggestion and is passed on to the readers. In some places however, it would take a barrel of brine to melt down the layers of ice. There is no disputing the fact that the ground is frozen down deeper than any time known in the past several years. Naturally water lines and in some cases fire hydrants are frozen. Many cities have experienced real difficuTues in time of fire with frozen hydrants, Fort Wayne having three

'• laist year the first attempt was t made to control the stray dog nuisance. If the city is to Ire* cleared of mongrels and nnclaim 1 ed dogs, the cooperation of citii gens is necessary,. Some headway was made and after a short cam- , paign In the spring the streets j 1 were rid of most of the trouble l 1 makers. A city ordinance provides [ that each dog shall be licensed > and shall wear a tag, which is I obtainable at the city hall. 1 . Ever stop to think how dependent we arc on the other fellow?] Not a day goes by but what this I thought is brought home. We were forcebly reminded of it the other morning, when the temperature was below zero and the milk man called on his daily trip. Think of the hardships he had in getting the little bottle to your home. Hours of work before daylight and battling with the elements every II _ minute were required in fulfilling 11 his job. And you can't rear healthy children without milk. From the turn out at the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet I last month, there was not the least bit of doubt that the men and woI men of Decatur believed in sup- | porting the civic organization. The j annual campaign for membership . is now on and it seems unneces- , ■ sary to urge merchants, profess- ' ional men and women and manufacturers to enroll under the banner of the C. C. The dues are only $2.50 a year and it’s certainly worth that to say you Itelong to i tin organization which is alwsyw boosting and endeavoring to help ' ■ build the community. .

Recovery of the loat taxes is possible through incorporation of a retroactive clause in the tax bill being drawn to provide revenues for the new farm program, the experts were quoted as saying. The justice department opinion came as President Roosevelt continued to concentrate on fiscal affairs. He called in heads of government spending agencies for a conference this afternoon ai which estimates of a rut in authorized expenditures were expected to be presented. The retroactive levies, legal experts advised congressional lenders, must be restricted to the (present tiscal year which began July 1,1935, in view of the supreme court opinion. ’ By going back to July 1. virtuapy all of the impounded processing levies woud be returned to the government. The bulk of legal actions which tied up the funds were insisted after that date. The retroactive tax provision would be combined, under Hip justice. plan. with the regular I'Cnm tax bill which is expected to raise approximately $500,000,000 with which to finance the new farm aid , program. Taxes would be substituted for the processing levies which financed the invalid AAA.

Ind., Feb. t. — The powers of the United Stales supreme court, which he termed | “the iieoples’ court, not the governments" were defended by Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher and possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. In un address last night. Speaking at a dinner sponsored by the Knox county Lincoln club. Knox flayed critics who sought to alter judicial functions of the high [tribunal after recent adverse decisions to several new deal measures. "To tnose who would change the constitution, our institutions and our law by stealth, by indirection, by subterfuge or by default, on the theory we are not looking.

CHAFYtt XXVII The red light was baraing above the sound stage Aoor, so the dynamic Abrams, the Production Manager, was forced to wait outside until the scene had keen shot.

The door burst open a« h« waited and a property boy daslwd out, preoccupied with retting some prop in a hurry. The Production Manager, tariag the red light was off, seized his chance ta dash in before the director repeated the scene. But Abrams need not have harried. In the cabaret sat, which was his deetination. the technicians were moving lights and setting up camera* a»d sound equipment from * new angle. The actors were scattering toward tteir waho-ap bMtsa. The Production Manager saw Jalie De Vore undulating in a tight black satin dinner gown toward her canvas chair, and bustled toward her h*?»rt«atly. “Miss De Vore!” His voiee was peremptory. “Yeah? Oh, it's Mr, Ahsams.” Julie unconcernedly popped a piece of gum into her mouth and inspected her false eyelashes in a hand mirror. “What's on your mind?” “I’ve just seen yesterday’s rushes. You’ve got to wear mere under that dress!” “What the hack!” Julia looked h»r*»!f ever awd then MNtounred with real hawtear: “This gown's just madfe to show «iff 3a Y figure!!” Abrams grabbed the distraujftrt property boy who was hurrying back to the set with four differosf kinds of ciga-ristte cases in hk hands. “Go up aNd got the wardrobe mistress. Tell !»r I want her down here right away.” The he-y shot him a baleful glasras, hot Akragas was looking arrwsrl far the ditecter. “Oh, Lucien, «sa y<M» ewe swer hews a sec?” Lucien Morew, who Iwd bane squinting thneatffc the lens of a camera, stadying the conapasitiea of his next ssske. »•«bentfd aver to them. “What’s MiM?” be wdwd, glancing at Julie's indignant saw "De Vore’s »»t to wear mow clothes. . . . I’ve jw*. seen yesterday’s rushes . . . it's awful!” “Don’t be silly, Sam!” iaugkod Lucien. “She’s doing the vamp part, not the ingenue.” “But it won’t get by the censors!” “Stand up, Julie. Walk around.” While Julie complied, flashing a resentful look at Abrams, Lucien scrutinized her. “I don’t know. Looks 0. K. to me. But why not please his sense of decency, Julie, and wear more? We don’t want to contribute to his delinquency!” “It’ll spoil the line of this dress. I wot>’t wear a thing more—so there!” Julie stamped her foot. “You'll do as you’re told!” snapped Abrams. “You’re not. a star so you can’t pull the temperamental stuff. Oh, Mrs. Arnold,” as the wardrobe mistress hurried up breathlessly, get a whatchamacallit for Miss De Vore” (demonstrating with his hands) —“the tighter the better.” The wardrobe mistress compressed her lips and shook her head disapprovingly. “It'll spoil the effect, but—if you feel. . . . Wil! you come up to the wardrobe, Julie, and let me fit you?” "Not right now,” Lucien decided. "I’ve got to have you in the next scene. It’s a lung shot where it won’t show. Sam. Don’t you worry •we’ll fix it.’ e Lucien book the Production Manager’s arm and guided him diplomatically off the set. Julie sat back in her chair and looked mutinously at. Mrs. Arnold. “I won’t wear anything else unless A. Z. Steinberg himself tells me I’ve got to!” Mrs, Arnold nodded approvingly. “Listen, I’ll tack in a tiny piece of chiffon after this scene. It. won’t make any difference in the looks of I he dress, and we can tell old Fusr Budget®Abrams that you’re all strapped in.”

Knox said advice of Chicago po , litlcal friends when he arrives inl Cincimiti today would determine ■ future course of his campaign. "I am not asking for any office.' It no difference to me who the Republican standard bearer is i for 1936." Knox said. The Chicago publisher attacked the new deal's relief program and charged the Democratic national administration with "bribery practiced in the name of humanity." “Think of handing a man a relief dole or a relief job or a corn- , hog check and then demanding that he vote for you on the pen I nlty of having the necessaries of

Later, *» Jails a®* Mre. Arnold coneoctsd the fliawy camoufiaqr behind a screen, Julie suddenly heard a familiar name: “Paaaingtoa. Isn't he some kind of an artist «w sMaeibing?” “What about him? Let’s rec tha pager.” Kvsoeatly two extra girla west readiag a newspaper as they waited far hfee next scene. “Mi*. Thaw srekffy dame* nervy a»d diverse jurt as fast as the movie gals, don’t they?” Jalie twisted away from Mrs. Arnold. w listen far more intently. “Sharlene Stnndrm*. huh? Didn’t a millionaire give her the i by one time?” “Yeah. Kent Damerell. R«ml this. He's bad in town—and hi* wife’s dead. Scandal! Scandal!” "All yew people cm tie set!” bellowed the assistant director taraugi hi* rrwgapbo***. “That'll do!” Julie said hastily to Mrs. Arnold, and rushed around the serw-a to pick up the scattered newspaper which the girls had discarded as they sauntered to their places is tfce cabaret. There it was — pictures and “Mr*. Stuart T'rnnir.gtoK (nee Sharkne St«ndring) has aotaWishnd residence ia Reno . . .” Julie ran to Lucien with it. He read the item in aistonishment. “What do you know about that? .. . Well, maybe Stria rt’ll g t down to work now. . . . Julie, you go ia sad pick up your g-Ta-• just as you did in the last scene, and then sit down at the Mbit and look e-rt—abwut here—and say your lines to Harvey. Ge on in a’d reht-arse.” In the next hour at strenuous work. Julfe did net have time to saver the delicious morsel of news as she would have liked. Hut her heart was MWiM. “If Stuart is fire— Oh. then! Oh, then!” Abeut e’elaek a mesrenger came eut on the set. “Mr. Steinburg wants Miss De Vore in his office as saon as she’s through wrrhirtg.” Mr. Steinberg, the head es the studie! Julie gapped a*r.d then glanced guiltily dmwn at. her formfitting aestnme. Was he going to •rder her to wear more? Or mavlnfire her! “You (-an go al*»g new," raid Morrow. “I’ll ba getting Harvey's and Lindsay’s aceews in this set, the rest as tfi» day. I wwat anted y»u.” “Nkm e’clock in fc&re tnerning,” vxirsrcrti asukatest eOwsetor, “in ttea pMk wsrfigro.” Julia fbwsw a s.aearf aferett hrr hare Mte>aldk«ee Bt.d hurried to A. Z. Dtcitewvfl'.s gvas>d v#ce. After some delay, she waa uuhsred into the inner sanctum, where the company lawyer and various other executives sat with “Chief” Steinberg. Over in the corner Abrams was ensconced behind the others, as befitted his rank. Julie jerked up her head indignantly as she saw him. but she was careful to cross the scarf demurely over her bosom. “Mr. Steinberg,” she said quickly, her voice trembling, “can I help it if people have bad minds?” “Why. what do you mean, Julie?” “People coming out on the set and accusing me—l’m a lady, Mr. Steinberg, and I'm not used to people like that!” Again she shot an unmistakably hostile glance at Abrams. “VAiat's the matter, Sam?” Mr. Steinberg turned tn the Production Manager inquiringly. “Why,” Abrams hurried to say, insinuatingly, “don’t you think, A. Z., that Miss De Vore ought to wear . . . uh, more ... a bit more with that dress? The censors, you know—” “Take off your scarf, Julie. . . . Don't be an ass, Sam! It’s on the strength of her vampishness that we're giving her a contract!” “Con-contract!” screeched Julie, sitting down suddenly. "Yes,” Mr. Steinberg said in his kindly, fatherly way, "we’re talking about giving you a long-term contract. That’s what I called you tn for. We're not going tn let you play heavies any more. Tho first year will be featured parts and leads— Cinderella stuff. Then, if you catch on with the fans the way we think you will, it mtans stardom, the ond year.” STARDOM! Julie was dazzled.

He urged the needy to take the money, "but don’t sell your souls to the devil at the same time ’ Knox devoted a great part of his address to Albrahsm Lincoln whom 'he said "had passed through this ' test of fire and given his people a priceless heritage in the truths wWh he uttered, many of which apply today with even greater emphasis nun in his own time.’ - ■ CHURCH CLASSIS ■- 1 — I DTONTiNt’E] 1 I KOM PAaH QN.I’-L pastor of Salem Reformed church [here, was elected vice-president of [the elassis succeeding Rev.

I Facile tears rose in her eyes She jumped to her feet and ran to kiss the startled, but no Jess pleased, Mr. Steinberg on his bald head. The other officials shook hands with her and congratulated her. but she stared at the crestfallen Sam Abrams with smoky ianguorou* ayes. TUen the star-designate pulted a thread oht of the bosom of her dress with lacquered nails, pfaeked eut a tiny hand of chiffon, aad droppad it in the waste basket “There! I feel better!” she said triumphantly, twitching herself. “Take a copy of this contract with you, Julie, said Mr. Steinberg. “Read it over and see what you're siniag.... Notice the clause about behaving yourself.” “You’ll werer have to aorry ab-i-t bi»,” Jplie ateurrel him. Whea “The Ksq Chief’ let her go.

Thank yens.” ♦ • • Julie, left the tiuti at t'Le foot of the hill, and glanced eagerly into the niche in the hillside, expecting to see a shiny successor to Mr. Jmgto. The niche was Perhaps Stuart was not at hots®. She hurried her steps, heart in her throat. But he was at home. She heard him whistling before she got to the (tow. So she stole to the Window av,d looked in. Back tvHted, hr was at the table shrtrhnwt. Julie slipped around to the kiwhrei and tiptrod in. Very cautiously she took off her coat and hat and laid them <« th*- old in the screen porch The whistling did not cease. With infinite pains, mindful of its old habit of squeaking, she an>t the y»e box door and looked in. Tfcrpe was a bottle of beer! Cnmmercial near-beer, but it would have to do. She found the same old battered tray in the kitchen and a couple of nicked glass!* She stopped, with her plunder, into the studio. Stuart was not aware of her until he heard th<j familiar pop a W removed the tin cap from the beer bottle. He turned swiftly. Julie, heart beating fast, went on playing her part, pouring foaming beer into the glasses. “Julie!” he exclaimed, getting up. His voice sounded glad. She glanced at him quickly, hopefully. He was smiling at her, quizzically and affectionately. She knew at once that it had no relation to that look he had thrown Sharlene long ago when she surprised him in the garden. But—he uas glad to see her. She carried his, glass to him and held up her lips to be kissed. “Jehosaphat!” he exclaimed, rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand, "that lip rouge is bitß-r!" “Oh, I'm sorry!” She was ready to cry with vexation and disappointment. “I wish I'd remembered to take it off!” She scrubbed at her lips with her handkerchief. He laughed. “Never mind. Julie. You’re a darling to come up and sod me, I suppose you’ve heard of the fiasco?” “The what? Oh, you mean -yds, just this afternoon. It was in the paper.” "It would be. We seem to make newspaper headlines every so often. . . . But you’re in print all the time now, Julie. Let's sit down over here and you tell me all about the career.” She settled herself beside him on the couch, studying his face covertly. He didn’t seem unhappy. He looked better than he had that day in the Stßftdring hdusc. She took heart again. (To Be Continued)
