When ever you say “there ought to be a law against that" have an attorney look it up. There probably is. If there was some way to store a good part of the rain which has fallen the past month so it could be properly distributed next July and August, it might prove popular. Renew your subscription by mail to the Daily Democrat. For three dollars a year, in the first and second zones, you can have the paper each week day for the. year. There seem to be some strikers who will be disappointed if settlement is made, even if it is advau tageous to a majority of the workers. We always have radicals with us. It is reported from Washington that John L. Lewis loves to stand before a mirror and make faces,: training himself for any act for which he may be called. Well, just so he keeps making them before the mirror in his own room. If a second Indiana University is needed in the northwest section of the state, then we certainly should be able to reduce expenses for the other state colleges and the proposed new building may change the plans for the educational pro-I gram for the next ten years considerably. It is reported now that Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh are col sidering seriously becoming English subjects by taking out naturalization papers. Looks like a case of having given too much homage to the hero of the Atlantic. Well, if that's what they want, we re for it. We have come again to the period for filing federal income tax reports and sending in the gross income blanks to the state and the latter must be attended to by the 1 30th of this month. The state re-i port must be for, the year, please remember, whether you have sent in quarterly reports or not. The legislature is marking time somewhat this week with the governor and other leaders in Washington for the inauguration. Os course bills are continuing to pour

CHANGE] OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R.

By next week they ought to be moving along nicely. t The store which Is now conducting a sale to clean up its winter 1 stock will be better prepared to take •■sir*-' of yz”.l all. through the i year for that shows the method of j , doing business. Sell your goods i and buy new. It will please the 1 public more. The way to do it is to advertise. We would like to , have you do it through this paper. _______ ' The President, it is whispered, is trying his best to secure a beti ter understanding between labor and the men at the head of the automobile industry, with the idea in mind to end the strike and bring ! peace to the industrial nation, for which he certainly can't be criticized very much, though apparently there are those who would like 1 I to do so. — This is inaugural week at Wash- 1 ington and the Capitol city will be crowded with enthusiastic sight-see-ers, having a great time and getting the thrill of their lives as ' Roosevelt and Garner take the oaths of office for the second time. This will occurr tomorrow at noon and a parade requiring several hours in passing will follow. You will be able to hear much of the program and some of the noise over the radio. There is some wisdom in the! proposal to make the registration law apply only to the large cities, provided of course the change is constitutional. Similar attempts were made way back in Governor,' Marshall's time and held to be bad by the supreme court. If it can be done, it would mean a saving 1 to this and many other counties in the state and would meet general approval for after all the corrup- i tion of the ballot boxes comes - largely from the industrial centers. I < The less you have to do with the bell ringers who call at your i house and try to sell you goods which you can buy for less with a guarantee of quality from your i home merchant, the better oft' you will be. It’s usually a racket and ’ i you know if the salesman really has the bargains he claims to have, I he could sell his entire stock to any store and save himself all the trouble and effort of calling on you 1 and taking chances on being bit- . ten by the dog. The Democratic National Com- ' mitee is sponsoring another banquet date, for the purpose of wip- , ing out the party financial deficit, i The idea is to hold dinners all, 1 over the country, plates to cost 1 from $3 to SIOO and the profits to go to liquidating the campaign ' debt. Last year more than $350,000 was raised in this manner. The number one banquet will be held; in Washington with President Roosevelt making the main speech, which will be heard all over the;; land where dinners at less cost, 1 are being served. Os course it’s just a general plan for raising ! funds and not bad at that for the! various events will be worth the 1 money paid. 0 ♦ — < Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦

REPORT HOUSE CLEANING DUE Rumors Say State Democrats To Fire G.O.P. Jobholders — Indianapolis, Jan. 19 —(U.R) —The, ! state administration lisa called for accurate lists of all employes in state institutions and soon will I embark on a housecleaning of Republican jobholders, the United 1 1 Press learned today. Simultaneously, it was ascertained that the Townsend a.dminis-i tration plans to retain intact the Hoosier Den ocratic club, bet ter known as the two percent club, I which collects a two percent j monthly assessment from state I employes’ salaries to finance the Democratic party’s campaigns and 1 normal political activity. The scrutiny to be applied to I the party affiliations of the institutional employes is in line with the purported plan of the state ! Democratic committee to distribute patronage by counties in proportion to the majority Gov. M. ; Clifford Townsend received in ! each county. The United Press’ informant said that particular attention is 1 being paid to the county in which each employe lives. In this connection Democratic party officials were astonished to i note that in a few instances employes had been retained in their jjohs for so long that there was a 1 question whether to consider their I residence as the county from I which they came or the county in .which the institution is located. It was indicated, however, that | the original residence of the em- ; pioye will be used for jobholding I purposes.

Some Democratic payrollers may be shifted rather than removed to equalize the distribution of state I jobs, revealed as the new admin|istration’s patronage program ata 1 conference of party leaders at | French Lick. Ind., last month. This program will not conflict 'with the me _ it system which the department of public welfare ■gradually will install in each of the state institutions.

Incumbents in jobs under the merit plan are subject to competitive examination with applicants and if they fail to display the necessary qualifications they will not get the positions, the public welfare department has indicated. Relative to the two percent j chib. Democratic state and party i officiate still feel that those who ;benefit from the organization I through jobs should Iks the ones ito sustain it and tiiat the small, I | steady monthly contribution is the I ■least painful method of financing.! I Otherwise, party payrollens would i have a large donation due before elections which might be inconvenient or embarassing for many. Consequently little, if any, change is expected in the existing party .financial structure. j Bowman Elder, receiver for tile

RILEY HOSPITAL REPORT GIVEN Work Os Indianapolis Hospital Carried At Peak Capacity Indianapolis, 'JS'n. 19.—The work of James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for children, both among crippled patients and a wide variety of other types, again was carried on at peak capacity during 1936, reports submitted today to the officers and board of directors disclosed. Orthopedic cases — those in which correction of malformations of tissues, bones and other integral parts of the body demanded painstaking and highly specialized attention, again demanded a major portion of the hospital staff’s attention.

J. B. 11. Martin, administrator, reported that of 3,994 admissions during the year. 889 were crippled children seeking treatment which would enable them to face life’s responsibilities free of the overwhelming handicaps of twisted bodies. A great majority of the counties represented in the admission of crippled children and every county in the state was represented in tne total number of admissions. Mr. Martin stated. The total number of admissions was within twenty-five patients of the number 'admitted in 1935. By units the Riley, or general hospital segment, led the list with 83,174 patient days, giving an ev-1 erage daily occupancy of 227.8 patients: the Rotary convalescent, unit 15,936 patient days or 43.7 a I day, and the Kiwanis unit 18. 435 patient days or 50.5 patients a day. l I The average stay per patient I was 20.8 days and the per diem charge to counties ranged from $3.15 to $3.25 for the Riley segment and $2.40 to $2.75 for the Rotary unit. ■ Directors of the oxygen chambers reported that 58 per cent of 119 patients treated recovery occurred despite the fact that all < patients were in a highly critical

In. the cases treated It was found tha , fresh apple is of value. The physical therapy depaitment, including hydrotherapy, treated 456 patients dutTug t n year. Total number of treatments ; given were 8,436 among in-patients and 3,807 among out patients, or a total of 12,243. Os this group, one hundred six were infantile paralysis cases, sixteen of which were attacked by the disease during the year. Other types of cases included encephalitis, spastica, congenital hip dislocations, spetic hips, fractured hips and post diptheria paralysis. The occupational therapy department, including both Riley and Kiwanis units gave 7,668 beside treatments to 1,196 in-patients, and; 4,761 workshop treatments to 888 patients. The workshop provide. I various occupations bringing into use malformed members which can! be benefited by exercise. Forty ! .eight out patients received 1321 treatments. Continued improvement of the campus and of physical equipment within the buildfhg was reported with the result that surroundings of the hospital now are landscaped with trees, shrubs and lawns giving the patients an attractive viewin all directions. The report of James W. Carr, secretary of James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association, reviewed the status of bequests to the hospital. Several generous gifts were reviewed including that of Mrs. Mary D. Cain, of Brookville, who died more than a year ago and left the residue of her estate, exceeding $22,000, the income to be uesd for the care and treatment of children from Franklin county. Outstanding examples of the work made possible by bequests were the Haugh McK Landon and Jessie Spalding Landon research and Eductional fund, and the Louis C. Huesmann Foundation, totalling in all about $260,000 in their original amounts, Mr. Carr reported. The field of endeavor opening up Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
