If the Chicago taxi drivers go on strike, the street cars will get a break. —tm The little town of Rossville will get plenty of publicity now that their basketball team has stepped out in front to knock off the state champions. Foes of the proposed Supreme Court changes have organized and will combat the president over the radio. Well, it will take about forty of them to match the chief executive.

It becomes apparent that Edward. duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson, will marry in April, believe it or not. It will be interesting to learn in a year or two whether the duke thinks it was worth tossing over the crown of England for. Don't bet your life you can beat a train to the crossing, that you can operate your car at top speed, take curves at full tilt or go around the car ahead on a curve. You always lose if you bet often enough and because you have won a few times is no sign you will continue to be lucky. Indiana excels in basketball. While it is a popular game aii over, this and some other countries. Outsiders who happen into this state during the first half of March are impressed with the interest they find in every city and town. It’s the Hoosier way of doing things. When we get excited about something there is just no stopping us. The 1937 session of th<- Indiana legislature is drawing to a close, it’s end being officially fixed for 12 o'clock, midnight, tonight. Usu ally to wind up the big show it is necessary to turn back the hands; of the clock but you may feel i quite sure that some time between midnight and morning, a motion to | adjourn sine die will be made, put and carried. Highway officials, county and state, will appreciate your cooperation at this season of the year in preserving the roads. Heavy loads will break them down and repair means the expenditure of large sums. Strange as it may seem, this has been an unusually hard winter on the highways and they are showing the results. If not damaged worse, they can soon 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 IL R. 1 to Decatur IL R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

be put In first class condition but if the spring traffic is not watched, they may be so badly damaged that resurfacing will be the only thing that will make them passable. If and when Martin J. Downey : of Hammond returns to the house ■•of representatives as a member of ' that body, we predict it will be easier to borrow his right leg than an original bill. Martin is a good , fellow and was made the goat in i the disappearance of the county ' welfare bill, over which a dispute l resulted in the beating of Wayne Coy, but Mr. Downey is doing I every thing he can to show that | the indiscretion charged was one that most any member of the assembly would have duplicated. The bigger they are the harder they fall. Frankfort’s crack basketball team, winners of last years I i contest and recognized as real; champs, touted to win again this ’ year, fell before an unheard of ■ bunch of boys from Rossville, a i little town of 600. The winning five was composed of farm boys, ' the entire squad consisting of only six men. They may not win the! state laurels but they will always | be remembered for killing off the j favorites in the first contest and don’t forget, they had to have some real stuff to do that trick. Churches, fraternal orders and educational properties, used in com-1 petition with private business won i another victory in the 1937 session of the legislature which indicates their strength. While it is admitt-

edly unfair, after ail these properties are owned by the people of the state and to tax them is more difficult than you imagine unless you have watched their loby at work. These properties under pres-| ent arrangements will be taxed at-' ter March 1, 1944, but in the meantime there will be several sessions of the general assembly and the i plans may be changed in any of i t I them. — —■ ■ ■ The sit-down strike technique, ! which is nothing but a form of seizure of private property, is oc-| cupying the attention of at least two state legislatures.-The Ver-| mont Senate has passed a bill out-, Jawing sit-down strikes in that I state, and a similar bill is pending in Maryland. A Michigan court ordered strikers from a Flint sac-, tory during the General Motors j strike and authorities drove out a , bunch of strikers from a plant in . Illinois. These two instances came ■ just about as close thus far to de- ! termining the law on the subject. But the government itself came I close to being embarrassed last' week by a sit-down, The strtke occurred in a factory at Groton, Conn.,' engaged in making submarines for l the government. State troopers evicted the strikers. The embarrassment would have been to' Secretary Perkins, who could see nothing wrong with the method ' when employed against General i Motors and, in fact, tended to eni courage the sit-downers. But in ■ the Groton case the workers were working under the terms of the Walsh-Healey act as to Hours and wages because the company was doing business with the government. Yet this act, which is supposed to protect the laborers, afforded the employer no protection when it came to a sit-down. The right to strike and the right to hold other people's property are two different things.—New Castle Courier-Times. o Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is there any possible way to cool a bowl of soup quickly, that meets the requirements of oil- i quelle? A The only two things you can do are to stir the soup with the rpoon and use a little patience. Do not lift a spoonful in the air and give a miniature imitation, of Niagara Falls, do not blow on it, and do not pour cold water into it, if you wfeh your hostess ever to ex- ; tend another invitation Q. Is it ill-bred for a person to j pretend that he is wealthy or high-
