Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. That fellow who suggests alligat-or-wrestling as a means of exercise should try "breaking" a bronco. The average fellow can antici pate with pleasure the number of days prior to Christmas, but how about the house-cleaning season. London is about ready for the great spectacle and Britishers hope it pays financially. King George may sympathize with his brother before its over. The country now watches the success or failure of the Canadian method of dealing with strikes and also wonders what will happen when the sit-downers attempt to take hold of the Fort plant. It shouldn’t be long until the correct policy is determined. In contrast to the sit-down strikes, this section of the country witnessed a picture Sunday of happy families riding around in their family cars. They enjoyed the rest w hich the Sabbath afforded ( and present day problems were J forgotten. The country may be suffering from a lot of ills, but it hasn't gone to the dogs. .— I Fort Wayne is considering oneway traffic on Calhoun and other important streets. Such a system is more or less confusing to strangers, but what are cities going to do when traffic can't move? Prob-' ably more drastic methods of routing travel will be made in the. next 10 years in view of the con- j stant growing number of cars in use. Our present streets were never built for auto routes. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that municipal water works plants perform a governmental function and are I therefore immune from Federal taxation. In Indiana, the supreme 1 court has takeu an opposite stand, holding that municipal plants should be taxed. It is likely that the Indiana case will be appealed to the United States court before! municipalities pay their taxes on water and light plants. We have never seen the Japan-1 ese cherry trees in Washington, but pictures of them carry a thrill for those not privileged tc sojourn to the Capital. It would be a ■ shame to remove them in order to \ build a memorial on the site. Sure- j ly there are dozens of places in 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. R. 1 to Decatur R. 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.

In Hie spring of the' year no place is as beautiful as the border of cherry trees around ■ the basiu in Potomac park. The principle of the popular referendum on war may be deservI ing of high praise, yet practical] j obstacles appear which inject grave doubts as to the value of this humanitarian proposal. The ' object of such measures now pend-' I ing in Congress is to ascertain be-1 yond any doubt the sentiment of the people toward armed conflict, | rather than submitting their fate to the votes of Congress or to inJ fluences which might sway the j lawmakers' point of view. Several' factors bring doubt on the wisdom of the referendum plan. Two of them apply directly to complex phases of modern warfare. The popular vote would not be taken if this country were compelled to wage a defensive war. Yet one of i the most difficult questions to answer is when a war is purely defensive.—lndianapolis Star. THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA: The democratic idea has more | meaning, more vitality, more pro-. ' found sanction today than it ever | had before. The evidences in j modern life of the truth and value of contrary tendencies are aeci- ' dental and temporary evidences. J Democracy has not solved all its problems. Democracy requires a high degree of spiritual enthusiasm and of scientific method, thinking and planning to keep the boat from being rocked and to keep the nation holding steadfastly to its' course. The face of the world has i .been set resolutely for two those-j I and years and with increasing un- I ' derstanding of the means for .secur-, ing it, in a certain direction. And < I that direction is a democratic direc-; tion. The opportunity and the respon- i sibility which we have as citizens,. as democrats and as human be- j I ings is, on its institutional side, I one thing: it is to understand, to' ’ implement, and to increase the! areas in which the democratic as < I piriation makes itself manifest. 1 And on its spiritual side it is one , thing: it is to affirm and to be constant in the belief that under God we know no better thing to be than 'brothers, and to do titan to act |t with wise fraternal and loving con-1 I cent for the growth and discovery of self with the loss of seif-seek-1 I ing and the gain of finding a world of persons progressively set free. —Shining Lines. 1 \ ° | Household Scrapbook I By Roberta Lee ♦ — ♦ ] Washing the Chamois Wash the chamois in a basin of water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added.
