It's cherry blossom time in Washington and that should make life in the capital all the more exciting. Hauptmann may have been more concerned, but the country was about as anxious to learn if the execution was carried out. If you are in doubt about your registration status, go to the county clerk's office and obtain the information necessary to complete the record —if you wish to vote. The Camden gangster, scheduled to go to the chair before Hauptmann also got a break. He was given a 30-day reprieve by the governor. after enjoying his "last" meal of roast clricken and all the fixin's. The Republican national committee might have got its idea to sell red, white and blue one dollar campaign certificates from the Centennial Good Will bond sale. Bet it doesn’t go over the top like Decatur's plan. Charles Higham, noted advertising man from England, predicts the re-election of President Roosevelt by an overwhelming majority, and says, "In their hearts the American people want President Roosevelt. He has done a magnificent job." Help keep the city streets clean. When yon rake your lawn, don’t pile the old leaves and grass on the street. The department makes its rounds and after the dirt has been picked up. it isn’t fair to litter the street again with leaves from the yard. The free parking lot, northeast corner of Jackson and First streets, wifi be opened to the pub- • lie this month. It is the second parking space provided by the city and will accommodate a number of cars. Lights will be strung across the lot and the place made of the greatest public utility to those who wish to use it. Indiana was one of the first states in the Union to call a special session of the legislature and pass conforming legislation with the federal Social Security Act. Now Kansas, under Governor Landon, one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for the presidency has called the state assembly and chances are the Suu Flower state s law win he copied after Indiana ». Fifty-five years ago Wabash had the distinction of being the first town in the country lo be lighted by electricity. It was such an event that trains stopped so pass eugers could examine, the lights of an old arc- design. Great, strides have been made in the last hall

I century in street lighting, a not' i ; able contrast being evident in De catur between the residential type and Second street lights. '• APRIL'S PROMISES: t None can tell what April will produce in balmy zephyrs. Instead of limiting her mischievous rites • to the first day, she may decide to t make the entire month an "April fool,” from the desired weuther standpoint. In spite of that ever- ) present threat, Hoosiers welcome ) this spring mouth with particular ’ enthusiasm this year after the long ; siege of subzero discomfort. The I first robin and crocus have beeu I duly registered, whetting the appetite for the array of bud and bloom that only awaits a warming sun. Since human nature is largely immutable, it follows that the current urge to reach the open coun try and visit points of interest reflects the old-age desire expressed by Chaucer, anent the pilgrimages that followed so closely upon that ■ "sweet Aprile.” The motorists are counting the days until the I I dogwood and the redbud are con- ' verting the southern Indiana hill ! country into a bower of beauty. Accompanying them will be those > rare tints of spring coloring on I tree and bush which are never | duplicated at any other period of [ the year. Ere long the orchards ' will be stippling the hillsides with j white and pink blossoms. Those whose souls hunger less for the artistic will be examining I golf clubs and fishing tackle. The feminine contingent is busily prei paring to participate to some de- . j gree in the Easter parade. The , I baseball season soon will be in i full swing, along with other sports. Wayside stands will be flaunting ■'their coats of fresh paint to at- • tract the tourist to that standard ■ provender of the highways—the hot dog. Amid all these anticipated joys, there is only one fly in the I vernal ointment. The domesticati ed nude knows that in due time an inescapable summons will be isi sued to take up the drudgery of ’ [ housecleaniug.—lndianapolis Star.
