Newspaper writers and correspondents believe President Roose • velt's judiciary reorganization program will be approved by congress. No doubt it will. There might be a few changes and amendments, but in the long run the reconunen datums will go through. Decatur welcomes and is honor-1 ed in having Doctor Dearing, president of Oakland university as a guest tomorrow. He will speak before the Ministerial association, at the high school and at the Rotary meeting. He is an eloquent speakef and has a wonderful message. Mosb than a thousand farmers visited Decatur yesterday and everybody was happy they came. They' were entertained at dinner and With a program in the after-, noon and the day was a most enjoyable one for all. The more frequent their visits, the better we like it. Congratulations are extended to the young women who won awards in the Psi lota Xi short story contest. The sorority has iit upon a clever and effective avenue of ap i proach to the youth, for in the application of writing a short story, [ the imagination and interest of the contestants are broadened and | developed. It will be remembered that Cal- ’ vin Coolidge gained national prom . inence in the Boston police strike i and now Governor Murphy ot Michigan seems to hold the spot light for his services in bringing | about the settlement of the motor workers strike. It’s the breaks' that count and being big enough to deal with situations when they arise that focuses the public eye on state leaders. .■ _ Yale University has a new presi dent, Charles Seymour, who sue coeds Dr. James Angell. It's a big CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requests ed to give oid and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct, us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing I address to another town, always give present address and new address.

! job and entails a great deal of re sponsibility and above all a man ot vision. What will the great universities be teaching 25 years from now? What changes will be '• brought about In the educational system? The new president, for ! ten years provost of the university I looks capable enough for the Im II portant post. 1 i They sure gave Jim Farley, post- ® master-general and Democratic I national chairman a real for sure > j party. Tributes were paid to the ! groat man and political leader by i President Roosevelt, state and nat • ional leaders. It was a testimonial dinner attended by 2,000 friends of the greatest chairman ever known in political history. President Roosevelt set the crowd in high spirits with his words of praise, stating that among other things, honest Jim Farley would probably be remembered as a majefr prophet. No one will ever forget his 46 to i 2 prophesy. The improvements at the City Light and rower Plant are com pleted and approved. Decatur has a modern and efficient plant, serv ing the community with excellent 1 service and at reasonable rates ’ The plant will continue to grow and increase in value and efficiency No doubt the high school students got a thrill from their visit to the state house and insight into 1 the way legislation is passed. It's part of the educational program to know the running of government | and the civics class received a first hand lesson when they visited the capital yesterday. Governor Townsend said in ad dressing the General Assembly that it was his desire that legislatioti“bl held to a minimum. He is interested in enactment of a small ntnn her of bills, the principal ones be ing to enforce safety on the highI ways and give the small merchant i relief from the gross income tax. A third bill, to relieve employes from contributing to unemployment , compensation, is also getting sup port of the administration. The bill ( ■ to create a labor division, too, has ■ Governor Townsend's backing, and , he would like to see several other 1 measures enacted into law, but the I grist of administration bills is unusually small. When the bound ■ volumes of the 1937 acts come off the press, they'll take mighty little I space on the book shelf.

I Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LEE | ♦- • Q. Should one wear evening dress to a house-warming? A. This depends entirely upon whether the party is to be formal or informal. Do not hestiate to inquire of your hostess. This is tar better than to be the only one in evening clothes. Q. Where should the napkin be placed on the table? A. The napkins should be fold;ed and placed at the lefj of the I pltae. Q. Is it necessary to introduce partners at a large dinner? A. Yes. It is very discourteous and thoughtless not to do so. ♦— 4 Household Scrap book | By Roberta Lee ♦ < Making a Laundry Bag When making the next laundry bag. try using an ordinary wooden coat hanger for the top.

POLICE DOUBT ATTACK STORY Honolulu Police Doubt Story Os Naval Lieutenant’s Wife I Honolulu. T. H.. Feb 17—(UP)— Police, seeking to unravel the story I of Mrs. Charlotte Copping, 24, wife of Lieut- Bennett S. Copping, submarine commander, that she was attacked by a white man, today planned to question friends of the couple who attended a party with them Sunday. Physicians say their examination of Mrs. Copping, mother ot a six-year old chiM. indicated she had not been attacked. The case recalled the attack in 1932 on Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Massie, wife of a naval officer, which ended in the slaying of a native islander and the trial of Lieutenant i Massie and several others on mur- 1 der charges. Convictions resulted but paroles were granted immediately. The Massies since have been |divorcedThe present affair is the first ! since the Massie case to involve the Navy’s colony here. Mrs Copping, who tsaye some of the Incidents connected with the attack still are hazy, insists, despite police doubt and doctors’ reports, that she was dragged into a garage near her hotel and attacked. She said she lost consciousness. Later she walked back to their hotel room and told her husband what had curred“We will continue the inquiry until we know exactly what happened,” chief of police William Gabrielsen said. "Mrs. Copping still is hazy tegarding many details and we do not have the slightest clue to the - : identity of the reported aesailant.” A psychiatrist representing the navy and commander J. H McNulty chief of the navy shore patrol, both questioned Mrs. Copping but reportedly learned nothing new. G Chinese Marshal Is Restored To Favor Nanking Feb. 17—(UP) — Civil I rights, taken from Chang HsuehLiang at the time he kidnaped Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, were ordered restored today by the Nanking central government. Restoration of the “young marshal's ctvi! rights, a condition upon which Chiang Kai-Shek was released. was believed to pave the way for his elevation to “a high poet” In the Nanking governmentRumor said he might be appoint- ; ed minister of war but there was no • official confirmation immediately available. The possibility was widely discussed at the plenary session of the Kuomintang ventral executive committee (government party) meeting here, however. o—: ; Butler University Beats Wabash, 30-24 Indianapolis.
