Mayor Bangs might decide that the only way for him to get out of jail is to let the council impeach him. Cooler weather is predicted for tile rest of the week. Well take an extra order of the same brand for next week. The United States might be honored with a visit from King Edward of England in 1938. That will give us time to appoint the reception committee. Colonel Reppert and the American Legion City band will furnish the Centennial broadcast program! tonight over WOWO. You’ll enjoy hearing it, so tune in. Chairman Hamilton will wear himself out before the campaign, gets under way. He's making a half dozen speeches a day and traveling over the country at a rate of speed faster than Pangborn or Lindbergh ever did. He can't keep up the gait. The detours on state roads lead ing in and out of Decatur will be marked Friday. Convenient and good routes have been designated by Highway officials and the local traffic committee and the motorist will not have any trouble iu traveling to and from the city. The aprroacites to town will be kept open for local traffic. The steel barons may not be for Roosevelt, but this year is the first time in live that United States ( Steel corporation has earned its dividend. The company had a net income of $16,238,727 for the first six months of the year and the number of its employes increased from 193.199 to 208,086. Much of the extra business enjoyed the past year came from public works. Roy Kalver, chairman of the publicity committee for the Centennial, proved himself not only a live wire and efficient worker, but a keen script writer for the broad east programs. Mr. Kalver prepared the copy for the radio announcer. which was given preceding and fallowing the speaking and musical programs. He had a good swing in every message, deCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

voted to boosting Decatur and the ■ i celebration. The Indianapolis Star, editor-! tally commented: "The Decatur Daily Democrat is entitled to cont gratulations over the line fifty-six page edition to celebrate the Cent tennlal of the Adams county seat. . The issue covers adequately the ■ "early days" and details the story of county and city progress. ResiI dents of the community and many I who have moved elsewhere will I wish to preserve the Centennial number in the family archives. The one-hundredth anniversary of the city's founding will be fittingly observed in a seven-day celebration beginning next Sunday." The sudden death of Judge Fred A. Wiecking in Indianapolis came I aS a shock to his friends throughout the state. Robust and ot good , humor, Judge Wiecking was one of the last persons whom you would think was close to death's door. In his short life, 43 years, i Judge Wiecking made an enviable record. He was a former state president of the E7ks. state commander of the American Legion, active in Knights Templar circles and in other fraternal and benevolent organizations. He served with credit as deputy attorney-general and was honored with the appoint-1 ment to the Appellate bench last | year. As a neighbor who lived in I Bluffton for many years, he was well known in Decatur and Adams I ’ county. o :• r—rr ' ♦ * | Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ —♦ Sagging Doors The tightening of all the hinge i screws of a door will frequently'' take out all the sag. and also remedy the habit of sticking.

By HARRISON C ARROLL Copyright, 1936, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—These Changing Scenes: A scene of marching men !s being shot one morning this week for "The Plough and the Itars". The Irish Citizens army is twinging through a torch-lit street of Dublin, past a reviewing platform, where stand some of the leaders of the 1915 rebellion and where floats the plough and the stars banner of the volunteer forces. Even from the shadows back of Director John Ford and the camera, it is easy to get caught up with the spirit of the thing. But it means a lot more to one of the actors up there on the platform. He is Arthur Shields, of the Abbey Players of Dublin, and he actually saw these things happen. At a distance, in the flickering light of the torches, Shields bears a startling resemblance to Eamon De Valera. He has the same slight figure, thin face, unruly hair. Several others comment on the likeness as Ford takes and then re-takes the scene. Finally, it satisfies him and Shields comes over to the sidei lines. I tell him how much he | looks like De Valera. . His eyes twinkle as he puts-on a rueful look. "Ah,” he says, "the ugliest man j in Ireland.” 4 _____ Four other members of the Abbsy Players are on leave to work for the man who made "The Informer". I meet Barry Fitzgerald, who is Shields’ brother but doesn’t look it. He is chunky, genial and I »mokes a richly seasoned pipe. He admits he'd like to stay a • year or two in Hollywood. “The sunshine seems to do i things to people,” he explains. ■ It is more a question of this with I him than of picture salaries. “The pay is small with the Abbey Players,” he says, "but living Is cheaper, and then it’s fun.” | They are on the last day of "Old [' Hutch" when I visit the set this I week. A small town dance is in ; Progress, and Wallace Beery is j scandalizing the guests. Finally, Cecilia Parker, who I plays his daughter, decides to take I him home. i The script calls for Eric Linden I the rich man q son. to see them go and hurry after Cecilia flat ’Tireotor J V'klter Ruben has a different biea. He calls my

attention to a pretty brunette girl cn the set. "Do you see that kid?" he asks. “She’s going to be a real actress some day. I’m going to make up a scene, and let her get in front of the camera.” So he lets her bring the news to Eric that Beery and Cecilia have left. It s just a flash and she has only one line to speak. But she makes it stand out. Director Ruben gives an approving nod and she walks off the set. - The girl is Alice Joyce Moore, daughter of Alice Joyce and Tom Moore. » It is plenty hot this week in the valley. On the "Gold-Diggers of 1937” set at Warners, Dick Powell is in his shirt-sleeves and Joan Blondell is wishing she was in a swimming pool instead of wearing f dark taffeta dress. She pats cologne on her forehead and offers some to Dick and me, "Sissies!” she says as we refuse. Then Director Lloyd Bacon calls them and Joan and Dick have to go out and be very gay under the burning lights. In this picture, Dick is a highpressure insurance salesman. This is funny, because he once sold insurance back in Indianapolis. . . . Sent letters to everyone on his personal fan mail list and on the mailing list of the theater. The business rolled in. Getting in bed is very simple, but for the cameras it is another matter. On the “Valiant Is the Word . for Carrie” set this week, Grace I George does it about 12 times while Director Wesley Ruggles . makes critical comments. She is supposed to dig into the > covers, lean on her side and talk to Arline Judge who is sitting up > in the other side of the bed. As Director Ruggles finds first one fault and then another, Miss ; George finally says: "Well, when I go to sleep naturally, I throw my arm up on the I pillow like this.” i She illustrates, but it doesn't i look natural for the camera. i After 15 minutes, he goes ahead and shoots the scene anyway. > When it is over, Arline Judge i hops out of bed.. An assistant asks her if her pajamas will look fresh enough for the next shot. She ) thinks . they may be a little wrinkled , i j Seeing me, she laughs and adds; r J "Boy, 1 live my part,"

PROBE CRUSE OF DISASTER State, Federal Officials, Seek Cause Os Lake Disaster Chicago, July 30—(UP)— State and federal officials today investigated probable causes for the sinking of the Lake Michigan sand barge, material service, with the loss of 15 lives. Another inquiry, the official Inquest, was delayed pending efforts of divers to locate the bodies of the seamen believed trapped in their cabins and the engine room when the boat rolled over and shot to the bottom a quarter of a mile from a protectifig South Chicago breakwater early yesterday. The seven men who were thrown from the listing boat and fought their way through the wreckagestrewn waters to shore were expected to appear today before representatives ot the federal bureau of marine inspection and navigation and Lake County, Indiana, officials who have jurisdiction in the case. Meantime, four causes for the sinking were suggested: 1. Water may have entered the hold through open or partly open hatches as the barge labored heavily through the stormy seas. 2. Water may have entered through the funnel used in loading and discharging the sand cargo. The barge may have cracked its plates on the bottom as it rolled in an exceptionally deep trough between waves. 4. The metal frame used for loading and discharging reportedly rais-

Second engineer Joseph Weber, one of the survivors, told the federal inspectors when they opened their rearing last night that he had no idea what caused the sinking. It happened to fast, he said.
