Until people grow up in their use of motor vehicles, it seems to bo necessary to provide many with watchmen. Here’s something funny about the "pests you’d like to swat. There are so many of them, at various times, that if all were driven from the highway, there would be practically no one left. Who are the pests of the road, anyway?

Wear A Poppy May 23 . ' 1 1 “ ~ I Ors / oKk >d& f T t ' ft <4

(Editor’s note: The following address was presented on a radio broadcast recently by Vincent Bormann of this city, fourth district Poppy chairman for the American Legion.) “On Saturday, May 23, all of us will be asked to wear a little red isippy on our coats or dresses. The •lay will be Poppy Day, when, once each year, we of America pay tribute, by wearing their memorial flower, the poppy, to those who gave their lives in America's service during the World War. And as we receive our poppy from the women of the American Legion Auxiliary, who will distribute the flowers on the streets that day, we will be aiding the war's living victims by the contribution we make for the flower. “The popy conies to us from the fields of France and Belgium where the churning tide of war obliterated all touches of beauty except its brave red blooms. It comes to us from the shell-pitted battle areas and from among the wooden crosses of the war cemeteries. There it was nature’s tribute to the heroic dead, and here in America it is the tribute of patriots to those who made patriotism's highest sacrifice. “The poppies which we will wear on Poppy Day are not, of course, natural flowers from the World War battlefields. They are flowers < which have even greater signifi- i cance than any nature could produce. They have been grown in. . hospitals and workrooms where | I the wars suffering still is going on.: ’ They have bloomed under the ‘ hands of men disabled in the war , —the comrades of those in whose l honor they will be worn. Their I petals are only paper and their ] stems wire yet into them has been i i breathed the spirit of patriotic j 'sacrifice, the spirit of those days! I when life itself was not too much to give for America. “The disabled veterans who make the poppies derive double benefit from the work. First, it j gives them employment -their only ' chance to help support themselves

and families. With strength and health gone, they cannot compete for work against the able bodied, but they can make poppies. Even in their hospital beds they can do this work, earning money for each flower they make. Second, the work is real value In aiding their recovery, occupying hands and minds, breaking the tedium of long idleness, an d restoring spirits I crushed by hopelessness. "The women who distribute the | poppies, unlike the disabled veterans who make them, receive nothing for their efforts—nothing tangible, that is, only the satisfaction of having helped brighten the memory of the dead and of having contributed to the welfare of the living. It is hard, unaccustomed work for them, but they do it gladly, happy to be able to serve in such a cause. “The money which is dropped into the coin boxes in exchange for the poppies goes entirely to the welfare activities of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary, supporting the work which these two great service organizations do for the disabled veterans, the families of the disabled and the families left in need by death of veterans. Every penny is - made to serve, and because of the close understanding and sympathy I existing between the Legion and i 1 Auxiliary men and women and | ’ those whom they are aiding, every i I penny is made to serve doubly in j 'a cause of highest worth. “Understanding the meaning of ■the poppy and the uses to which 'the poppy funds are put, can any 'of us he deaf to the appeal of I Poppy Day? Can any of us fail to I greet the Auxiliary poppy workers I with a welcome smile, fail to put ’on a poppy of remembrance for !the dead and show that we remeinjber the living by contributing as ' liberally as our means will perImit? We are sure there are few ,' in the State of Indiana in whom J remembrance and patriotism burns iso low. We are sure that the I poppy will be on all our coats on : Poppy Day?”

HOPE TO BREAK FLIGHT RECORD I • ■' l 11 Hindenburg Expected To Reach Germany Thursday Morning (Copyright 1938 by UP.) Aboard Dirigible Hindenburg en route to Frankfort, Germany, Muy I 13.

The present record is 55 hours 22 jnlnntes. Tail winds were In prospect as the great ship neared Englund, and It was making a steady 75 knots on the 3,895 mile great circle route the ship followed across the Atlantic. The Hindenburg passed the half , way mark from laikehurst in the i early hours of this morning and 1 was expected to be over Frankfort ■ tomorrow morning. All day yesterday the ship sped ■ through rain, fog, and clouds. They mattered nothing to the ship lor those aboard. There was a general feeling of security. Friend- ' ship ripened “nd there were gay parties in the smoking room It was expected that the Hindenburg would be over England late tonight, to fly over London at mid niglit unless weather conditions | caused a change in plan. . Passengers, as on the westward cruise, reported the flight one of velvet smoothness and astonishing comfort. We passed Cape Race, Newfoundland, 75 miles to our north at 2 p. m. yesterday Greenwich mean time (8 a. m. CST). There in the grand banks we met the conditions that disturb liners and ocean aviators -fog. All it meant to us was that we flew above it at 1,500 feet. Tlie 47 passengers, making this first regular commercial cruise | from lite United States to Europe I with a crew of 55, and a pay load iof mail and cargo, have shown ■ principally a disinclination to leave j the windows of the ship for rest.
