They will tell you just where you can find just what you want at just the price you wish to pay. A lot more people bet their lives over the week-end and lost. The traffic toll continues to increase alarmingly. We all agree something ought to be done but what about doing it? The average death rate due to automobile accidents is more than 100 a day. From any other cause we would be alarmed and active. No doubt Amelia Earhart is thankful that iter smashup was a blow out of a tire instead of any other kind that might have occurred when she was up ten thousand feet. She and the two other occupants of the plane escaped uninjured and that's more than most passengers of planes that smash | up can say. She proved her power to think quickly by shutting off the ignition and in every way performed like the heroine she is. The selection of Wayne Coy and Leo Gardner as aides to Paul V. McNutt, new high commissioner to the Philippines, is pleasing to those in Indiana who know these men and recognize their unusual ability. Each is a master in handling important problems and each has proven his capabilities in the past.Their appointments have been announced by President Roosevelt and they will leave with the others of the party on April 3rd for a great adventure. Fiorello LaGuardia, is a candidate for mayor of New York City and that should be about the most interesting contest of the year. He is a Republican and the vote there | is about six to one Democratic but LaGuardia is by no means a standpatter and is the showman kind of a politician who attracts the vot-, ers, evidenced by his previous victory. Tammany will make a great try to get back in power and the odds favor them but as stated, it ought to be a scrap worth keeping an eye on. Senator VanNuys believes the government should take a firmj stand on the “stay-inners" and “sit down" strikers, the present wave would be over in forty-eight hours and he is no doubt right. No good can come of the epidemic of worrying business which now seems so prevalent and the sooner some 1 firmness is displayed, the better it 1 will be. Strikers not only stop business but they cause bloodshed 1 and suffering and arouse a feeling among every one concerned that is* neither healthy or pleasant. There ■ should be a means of doing away, with strikes forever. It would be a real advancement in business and government. Fort Wayne Central's basketball team will go to the state again, one of four super-regional winners last Saturday. They should win. Dope stern agree that the team that beats' the Tigers will win the champion-;

ship and we doubt If any team in Indiana can defeat them. They have played consistently not only through this season but most of them are veterans of several years. The team also has plenty of man ■’power, with substitutes to fill the t place of any player on the five , who might be incapacitated for ' any reason. They can rough it up if they need to with the knowledge I that they can replace any player who goes out on personals. HowII ( ever they play clean, fast ball and ’ every good fan in this part of the ' state is hoping they will bring the i flag over this way. They have earned It. Suggestions have been made re- . cently by several local boosters! that one hour parking rules be ad-' opted for the downtown imrt of the | city and there is much to be said in favor of the plan. Just nowstate engineers are surveying routes around the city for both 27 1 and '”l4. That would mean quite a loss for there is no doubt that business is greatly improved because these routes go through the , business section of the city. If the main streets were kept clear ’ there would be no difficulty in ■ | handling traffic and we doubt seriously if the new highways would 1 be built at least for a long time. It's worth thinking about seriously. Why not arrange parking spaces about the city and keep Second, Monroe and Madison, streets for traffic? It will benefit in numerous ways and be much more satisfactory. Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk 1 of Berne has been appointed superintendent of all benevolent arid penal institutions in Indiana, a responsible position that will make him one of the most powerful officials of Hoosierdom and one for which he is especially qualified. His years of service in the legisla ‘ i lure and as a member of the budget committees has given him a knowledge held by few men in the state. He has all the other qualifications —plenty of good common sense, personality, the knack of meeting people and getting along with them and lias earned the appointment by many years of service. He will be a valuable man , to the state and his selection to the high post will please the citizens of this county and legislative district where he is so well and favorably known. We extend heart ' iest congratulations to both Senator Gottschalk au d Governor Townsend. The man fits the job and the job fits the man. After all the only good that can j come from the New Loudon, Texas, school house tragedy is to make every one in charge of schools take extra precaution to iusure safety to the children and the teachers. Os course no one could be so inhuman as to deliberately ■ plan such a wholesale diabolical f thing unless he was a raving maniac who could easily be pointed out.! It seems to have been cansed by| the accumulation of gas in the pockets under Ute building, which i no one thought was dangerous. Investigations may make a goat out i of some one but we doubt if there' was even any criminal negligence. The idea of using gas heated radiators may be proven impractical ,or some method of contraction which provides air vents under the buildings may be made compulsory. Otherwise Ute committees will proi> ably not be able to do much defi- ( nitely. It has been a terribly de-| pressing week for those afflicted | by the awful accident and the world sympathizes with them. o CONGRESS TODAY I Senate: Considers bill to remodel front 'of capitol.

M ASKED TERROR SLAIN DI COPS Ex-Convict Slain In Chicago Is Named As “Masked Terror” Chicago. Mar. J3.-KU.R>-Au exconvict shot to death by two policemen he tried to hold up was identified today as the "masked terror" who in ten days shot one woman to death, robbed two others, uud assaulted a fourth. Police identified the man as Louis Ebetg. 26, released last No- i veinber from the Pontiac, 111., reformatory where he had served nearly six years of a robbery sen tence. Pretty Ann Weintr, 20. viewed his body in the comity morgue early today and said he was the masked man who kidnaped her from her escort two days ago.' warned her he was a "killer.” then criminally attacked her. Harold Schapiro, the "escort, also ideuti , tied him. Mary Irwin, 13. who saw her mother shot to death by the "masked terror” the night of March 11,1 was called to the morgue to view the body. Miss Irwin was ill when police called for her early today. It was ' expected site would be able to aci company an officer to the morgue i late today, however. Capt. William Collins of Chicago Lawn police station said he was certain the officers had "got their ! man.” “This is a splendid piece of i work,” Collins said. Eberg was shot by Detectives William Ward and Stanley Lechert, detailed with 25 other officers I to a special search for the terror. Ward and Lechert last night drove a private automobile to the . scene of the “terror's” depredations :on the southwest side. They parked along a lonely street and turned out their lights. A few minutes after 1 a. tn., the officers noticed a movement in the back of their car. In the rear-view mirror they saw the glare of a flashlight. A man stepped on the running board of their car, flashed a gun I to the window and said, “this is a ' stiekup." Ward, seated next to the bandit, unlocked the door and opened it. As the door swung open Ward and Lechert reached for their guns. The gunman saw the movement, pulled the trigger of his own revolver. There was a harmless i click. Ward fired two shots. One struck the bandit in the abdomen, the other in the heart. He fell dead. When the officers inspected the bandits gun later they found the hammer had fallen four times but the catrridges were defective and OHIO Spreader Saves a Load on Manure Ma->»-e M aho AaM waafil • Peweoa morv dtea -tea ■ -s p.led aa.tears te late fraau Btek teed s pXa.

failed to explode. The "terror” made bln first appearance the night of March 11., when he accoeted Mrs. Mary Irwin, wife of Patrolman Robert Irwin. as she walked along the atreet with her daughter. Mary. MFh Yrwin screamed, started to run when the masked bandit ap I peared with his gun. The man firI« d once, killed Mrs. Irwin. The daughter was not harmed. Eight minutes later the same masked man held up Miss Marjorie Julien ami Miss Ethel Kuzora. Two mornings ago, the masked man snatched Miss Weiner from Schapiro. drove off with her, attacked her. Eberg wore a mask made out of a blue handkechief when he was killed. On his hands were rubber gloves which police believed he employed to avoid leaving flugerprints.
