After the Hoods, well have spring, blooming flowers, green lawns, beautiful trees —ail of which go to make life worth while aud hope. Although a serious lire occurred at the Reformed Orphans' home yesterday, causing a $20,000 loss, | fortunately not a child was hurt, for which we all are thankful. i If you see a bridge or road un-1 der water be careful in driving across. It’s a treacherous thing to do and rather than take chances, turn back before getting into serious trouble. In blasting the ice jams, extreme care should be taken. Over at Huntington more damage was' caused by dynamite than by the i high water and ice. The powder: wrecked the bridge, tore out the telephone cables and shattered hundreds of windows. A few pounds of dynamite will get the desired results. While other towns may suffer heavy loss from floods, Decatur is fortunately situated on the high ! bank of the river. Even in 1913, the worst damage done here was caused by backwater in basements and in a few cases damage to property. We are thankful for the vision and good judgment of the pioneers who built the town on the right side of the river. The world seems upset these days. Assassinations of Japanese cabinet officers bring danger to that country. high waters cause worry ini this country, auto acclden s continue to claim lives, Europe is figuring on another worlff war and so it goes. The Maker was all wise when He made the day only !4 hours long so we could sleep part time and forget the ir ..hies and worries and gird ourselves for another day. The city will receive bids next Tuesday for a new turbine, condenser and other equipment al the city light and power plant. The equipment will be purchased with plant funds and a 45 per cent grant from the federal government and the Improvement is being made with the idea of increasing the efficiency of the utility. It will benefit the public and enable the council to continue the policy of reducing rates and at the same time help with the tax load. Another tragedy has struck the community, claiming the lives of two Adams county residents. Waller Het.tler and Orville Tinkham of Blue Creek 4ownship were killed in tlie auto accident near Monroe yesterday. The slaughter of hnniaiis goes on. despite warnings and ordinary precuittioim, a terrible price to pay in the modern day I

| transportation system. The aver ago person is ulmost afraid to venture out on the highways today, regardless of how carefully he drives A few of the sewers and catch basins In the city are froaen, preventing the water from running away. Every effort Is being made to correct the trouble. Working ahead of the thaw more than two weeks ago. the street department opened the cutch busins an d dumped in u quantity of suit and calcium chloride to hasten the thawing process. In a tew places the ice was so thick the compound had lib effect. Otherwise the surface water is being carried quickly to the river, where it is overflowing the low lands. The Bluffton Broadcasting company has filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission for the construction of a broadcasting station in that city. We doubt if the small station is a ' paying proposition. The big chains carry the leading programs and unless there is something exceptionally good, a Lowell Thomas, Amos an' Andy, Lum and Abner, Major powes or something of equal merit, the public soon tunes out. The small stations carry a lot of advertising, which in itself may be good, but the public prefers entertainment. o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ;♦ : —♦ February 25, 1916, was Sunday 0 Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

WILENTZ PLANS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) for a. review of the reprieve. In support of that request he will cite the case of Edward Clifford, convicted in 1896 of killing a rail- ' road superintendent. The issue of the governor's power of reprieve came up in the CliLford ease, according, te-ttfe United I Press' informant. The unanimous | ruling of the state supreme com I | was that the governor has no , I power to reprieve beyond 90 days alter tlie conviction in the lower court. Hauptmann was convicted on Feb. 13, 1935. Therefore, under the ruling in the Clifford case, Hoffman had no power to reprieve | Hauptmann after May 13. 1935. Wilentz made no attempt to challenge the first •reprieve in the courts, allthougli he warned Hoffmau that he consireded it illegal. I On his arrival in New Jersey ear- i Her this) week, however, the attor-1 ’ uey general said he would not, consent to further reprieves and would oppose them in the courts, if necessaryOut of today’s Perth Amboy conference is expected to come a definite decision on whether to I utilize this legal weapon.

The Daily News said that new tests of the ladder found outside the Lindbergh nursery window re- i vealed that, nail holes in the vital , "rail 16" did not correspond with I allegedly identical nail holes in a : beam in Hauptmann's Bronx home. I Arthur Koehler, of Madison, ' Wis.. federal government wood i I expert, testified at Hauptmanns, trial that “rail 16” of the kidnap' ladder was sawed from tlie floor- j ing of Hauptmann’s attic aud that nail holes in the rail and n a , , bca,'n of the attic were made Issy J I the same nail. Ultra-violet ray tests proved that i , the nail holes in the beam were ; ' made four years ago. the Dnilv . News said, but the nail holes in ' the rail were made not more than i 18 months ago—or a.t approximate-1 ly the time that Hauptmann was ; arrested.

LEGION URGES i FIGHT ON REDS American L« gion Submits New Legislative Program Indiajiapolte. Feb. 27— (U.R) A three point legislative program to combat spread of communism ! in the United States *i» urged today by the American Legion. Tlie progrti”.’. was submitted after completion of a years survey of commitli.-m In tlie United St nt s, legion leaders said. Points fneh.ucd in the program were: 1. Close ajl immigration for 10 I years. 2. Make it mandatory for the United States immigration nervier I to deport all alien-born persons ’ who are members of any group | "that proposes to change or over-! throw the government by force or i violence.'’ 3. Fingerprinting of all persons. Education was termed "the great weapon with which to liattle successfully communism and its kindred disease,’’ by the report. "Tlie communists have directed that a major portion of the activity in the United States be among the youth, ’’ the survey said. “Communist agitators have given a good portion of their time and effort to stirring up trouble in agriculture.” The survey said the communist party had a place on the ballot in 33 states in 1934 in contrast to only 16 states in 2928. o Women Study Longer OTTAWA.
