In a few days after it occurs you can see it in your favorite theater no doubt and be more comfortable. | Sheriff Brown has issued a warning that a band of gypsies are working in this territory and already have fleeced several people. The less you have to do with these •‘dark skinned itinerants" the bet ter it will be for you. Notify the officials and see that they move on. With a little cooperation, the officers will rid the county of these rovers. More people were killed in railroad grade crossing accidents last year than for five years, due it is explained to the fact that many more motorists used the highways. The number of deaths reported was 1,786, a terrific loss of life when we stop to consider that if we would make it a rule to “stop, look and listen." this could be reduced to a minimum. Thomas Smith, eighteen-year-old Buffalo, N. Y., boy, has confessed to the murder of Mary Ellen Babcock and the stabbing of Frances Fitzgerald. He says that something seemed to click in his head and then he had to maim. Then suddenly another click would bring him back to normalcy. He will no doubt get a click that will satisfy him for all time. Walter Chrysler doesn't seem to see the logic of John L. Lewis's idea of agreeing that government of labor employed and paid by Chrysler be under his control and he is refusing to agree to any such terms. How long he will hold out or what the results will be, no one . is wise enough to foresee. It looks like a rather rough year for both labor and industry. Os course roller skating on the streets is dangerous pasttime and the authorities while not desiring to interfere with the pleasures of the children, are doing them a favor. Not only are the boys and girls in danger but they arc a menace to car drivers. The practice should be stopped before some ■ one is seriously injured. Cooperation of parents is asked. Bo McMillen, popular and efficient I football coach has been given a. new ten-year contract by Indiana University, assuring him of his!

“cakes” for a decade for the salary | fits the important job, It Is said. He has been on the job and last > year landed bis team In the first. division of the Big Ten conference, for the first time in twenty-five years. Good for Bo and better for f " —— I News stories say that George A. Ball, of Muncie, is selling out his vast railroad interests, preferring to invest his money in securities' in which all he has to do is clip j the coupons and if as stated he can do this at a profit of some ten or fifteen million dollars, there seems to be no reason why the I Indiana capitalist shouldn't do it. We had an idea he knew what he was doing all the time. The state police have arrested Warren T. Marr and several others in a smooth oil stock deal in which j the men are charged with disposing of fake oil stocks to Indiana I people. Looks like the boys had something again. They have been doing a real job the past year or two and Captain Matt Leach and his force deserve much credit. It takes time to effect a good police organization and it is rapidly being | acquired in Indiana. One third of the year has passed into history and while it has not been as active as was expected. due to the strikes, floods, dist storms and other things, business , continues to go forward and predictions are for an increase during the remaining nine months. If we . could settle down to a routine and work togather a little better, we could progress, regardless of the fact that Europe is arming for war and with little outlook of any thing but trouble. The Adams County Memorial hospital is a popular place these , days with so many customers that I the nurses are having a difficult time to find places for their cots. No doubt some arrangements will have to be made to furnish suitable quarters for the nurses and plans are being discussed looking towards that improvement. It's a great institution, has been spleni didly operated and must and will be kept up to the high standard of i i the years since it was started. Bud Townsend as president of , the Junior Chamber of Commerce will give a good account of him- 1 self by urging the organization to I cooperate with other civic bodies in bettering conditions in Decatur. His first movement, a campaign to ; increase the membership, shows wisdom, for always there is power in numbers. After the drive. Mr. Townsend will complete plans for activities for the year. He suc-j ■ ceeds Dean Dorwin who has comI pleted a successful term as president. A great discovery is that of Dr. Harry Goldblatt of Cleveland, if it proves out. He is believed to have ascertained and proven that the cause of high blood pressure with i its attending ailments of agina pec-' toris, thrombosis and cerebral | hemorrhages is an insufficient | blood supply to the kidneys. He | I believes it can be cured although j ■ he is not ready to state positively i what that remedy will be. If this | turns out to be true, the lives of | millions will be prolonged, so here’s | I hoping he puts it over. i| Root township wants to build al| I $59,000 addition to their school i I . building giving them a modern i structure to be used not only sor 1 1 school purposes but as a common- | ity center, where plays, games and | general meetings will furnish pro- | grams of interest to old and young. I I It's a laudable ambition and since | they are entitled to a government I I grant of $26,100 it looks like ah good time to act wisely. These I | township centers will continue to [I be popular places where the citl-h zens can meet to discuss problems and be comfortable. It Is to be .hoped the improvement can be I i made as now seems probable. I ‘

SLAYERS LOSE I COURT RULING Judge Denies Directed Verdict In Shelbyville Case Shelbyville. Ind., Apr. j.--Hugh Marshall and Curtis Neal, on trial in Shelby circuit court for the robbery-slaying of an Indianapolis pharmacist, were a step closer to the electric chair today after Judge Roscoe C. O'Byrne had overruled a defense motion to direct the jury. to return a not guilty verdict. The second eount of the indictment charges murder in perpetuation of robbery and carries a mandatory death sentence upon conviction. Claude R. Henry, counsel for Marshall, argued that the robbery had been completed hours before the pharmacist. William H. Bright, was slain in a Shelby county comfieia and thus the second count of the murder Indictment did not apply. Judge O'Bryne ruled that while the car had been removed from Bright's possession when Neal and Marshall boarded it at an Indianapolis street intersection last January, it remained in his personal I presence up to the time he was slain. Mrs. Lois Cherry Bright, Indian • apolis school teacher, yesterday ' identified the muddy garments her | husband had worn the day he was murdered and his body tossed into I Big Sugar creek in Shelby county. The comely widow sobbed and . her voice became almost inaudible i as she testified concerning her husband's character. “He was quiet ... He was always kind ... He made lots of friends wherever he went,” she said. i Leonard Worland, Shelby county deputy sheriff, described how Mari shall and Neal re-enacted the slaying as they were taken over the »— ♦ Get Your Shoes Repaired at the NICHOLS SHO ESTORE All Hand Work Guaranteed J.
