The weather man will be forgiven in making the wrong prediction about the latest cold wave. There's a lot of talk about the weather, but what we would like to say wouldn’t go in an editorial column. You don't have to be a Boy, Scout to do a good turn daily: nor! Is it necessary that you be a Sir j Walter Raleigh before you help an aged lady or man across a slippery pavement. Governor Hoffman seems to have talked himself into a hot spot. He can't let go of the Lindbergh ease and so far hasn't proved to the satisfaction of the people why he didn't let the law take its course. Spring will slip up on us before; we know it. Then there will be a scurry and everybody will be trying to get everything done at once. We’ll make up for lost, time due to bad weather and the year will be one of the best in the last decade. Sentaor Vandenberg, keen and able newspaper editor from Michigan and a potential candidate for the Republican presidential takes the stand that the government is now in the hands of the “third party.” That reminds us of the adage that there are three sides to every question—your side, my side and the right side. Monroe! Fuhrman and Donald Bixler have received awards as Eagle Scouts. It. is one of the highest honors conferred by the Boy Scout organization and must

be earned by the individual through earnest application and accomplishment. Decatur friends of the young men congratulate them, kuuwlua full well that the honors bestowed were Justly earned. An army captain predicts that "our next war will cost $10,000,000,000 a year.” It probably will if the people permit it. Why figure about such things. One guess is us good as another. The cost of war can't be estimated In dollars alone. Suffering and heartaches mount to more than all the dollar cost and those who went through the last conflict don’t want to see another one. Illinois and Ohio seem to be battlegrounds for the Republican presidential candidates. Senator Borah and Publisher Knox have Hied in both states and their backers will make an effort to secure the delegates in the primaries. Borah should have the lead in the Buckeye state and will probably give Knox a run in the Sucker commonwealth. Other aspirants may file and the fight seems to be among the party and the forces of standpatism and progressives. It was tough pulling for the i horses yesterday in clearing the sidewalks of snow. The street gang started work at 1: 30 in the morning, three plows were placed in service and every effort was made to make paths for early risers and the school children. Due to the depth of the snow and the rain winch packed it down, the 1 clearing job required more time I than usual. If some arrangement : could be made to have the weather- ■ man send the snow a few hours earlier the walks could be cleared while we sleep. Secretary Wallace impressed his audience in Indianapolis and explained what the government was 1 attempting to do to help agriculture. He said, “The new farm plan is a sincere attempt to operate within the limitations laid down by the Supreme Court AAA decision." The secretary of agriculture outlined the proposed plan and it seems so have met with popular approval. The government is trying to devise ways and methods in bringing prosperity to the farmer and the more successful it is in formulating a program, the better it will be for all. No lawcan be perfect, but if it accomplishes more than 50 per cent good, it has a cause to live. —o ■ ■ * ——♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ - — ♦ 1.

Anyway, It’s the Jost ring, and it must have some sentimental value to the star, for she practically had the studio turned upside down in an effort to find it. After all these weeks. Bob Montgomery is still arguing with the customs people over the Bentley car he brought over from England. When the machine arrived, they asked him to show proof of ownership. He had a bill of sale, but it seetns that wasn’t enough. The deal 1 should have been witnessed by a notary. An influential friend saved the day temporarily by vouching for Bob. The issue is still the subject of correspondence, however, and won't ' be finally settled until a notary’s | sworn statement can be obtained I from England. — The screen debut of Carole Lorn- I bard's Pekingese, “Push-face", was, a decided flop, but gave the blonde i star a chanee to get off one ot her j i best wisecracks, “Push-face’s” big moment came on > the “Love Before Breakfast" set at Universal.

M. G. M., but these tilings are hard to confirm and 1 wouldn't be positive To tlie best of my knowledge, she is , still due to arrive here May 15. Her ’ first picture will be "Camille". 1 Muffed opportunities are always sad. There is a Mexican girl who j dances in Olivera street here for . whatever the crowds will give her. ’ The other day, a chap in dark I glasses arrived just in time to see , the last of her routine. He was . impressed and asked her to do another number. For some reason ' she refused—and thereby lost not , only the possible chance of a screen , test but a thrill for which thousands ' of other girls would tight. For the chap behind the dark glasses was Fred Astaire. Well, nothing much more can happen to the “Milky Way" troupe.
