Can't complain about this spring weather, it's just about as good as ; any of us have the right to expect. I You have less than two weeks for spring tax paying and the soon- ‘ er you attend to this painful duty, the easier you will find it. Collisions with the traffic islands are becoming so regular that it may be well to investigate the| danger of this form of signal posts. J —- Improvements and new build-, ings in Decatur this year will cost several hundred thousand dollars, which should show proportionately on the tax duplicate. Streets in Decatur are too narrow even for forty-mile driving and it should not be indulged in. After all the loss of time is not great and it’s far more important to get through without injury to your-1 self or others. The baseball season is in full swing and the fans are happy as they razz each other on the daily results. It will keep on going at full swing until next October when the World Series will settle who the champions are. Governor Townsend tossed the| first ball in the opening game of the Indianapolis Indians and put. so much zip on it that inquirers I soon learned that in his younger, days he was a ball player of no mean ability. He looks the part. Drunken driving is oue of the worst crimes you can commit ini these days of crowded roads and high speed cars. There is no excuse for it and theke who do it should expect to pay the penalties, imposed by law and do it without ! protest. Spring is really here and it's only a couple of weeks until the annual city clean up will be on. In the meantime every one should be getting ready for the trucks by getting the cans and rubbish gathered up so it can be removed with the least inconvenience. This is national want ad week., which probably don’t meaai much to the average person but those who wish to buy, sell, rent, trade,! employ or get information realize they can do it with speed by using the want ad columns of their local newspaper. You are invited to do so here. One of the most unusual week end accidents was that at Merom., a little town on the Wabash river, where Mrs. Roscoe Milan drove her car, with four passengers be sides herself aboard on to a ferry and bumped into the guard chain so hard that it gave way and the car and every one on it went into the river. All five were drowned. This week marks the anniversary of the famous ride of Paul Revere, in 1775. Il has been made famous by Longfellow's wonderfql verses but it deserves the place

■in history it has attained. It was I not only a great exploit but it ' showed the spirit of those daya when this nation was getting ready ,to become a Republic and later grow to lead the world. Senator Vandenberg, Republican I leader, says the actual number of ! unemployed In the United States now is less than three million, which is really below normal for there are that many or more who don't want to work steadily. Just a few months ago it was claimed that the number was ten million, so they were either wrong then or a lot of men have been put on recently, probably some of each. Lieutenant-Governor Henry F. Schricker, is next to Governor Townsend, the most popular pub- ; lie speaker in the state and he is filling an average of three engagements a week and making good at ' each one. He Is also taking excellent care of his high and import- ■ ant office. A fine fellow, a good speaker, an honest executive, he is a great aid to the administration and is rendering splendid ser- ' vice. Sixty-five percent of the people ■ of this country are against the sit- i down strikes, according to the! Gallup poll. Against such odds of I public opinion, surely such an un-1 i fair method cannot long exist, j ! Under the Wagner law, now held \ i constitutional and in full effect, i there is nothing to prevent wage I earners from bargaining collective-, ly and that can be done while the | factory continues to operate, thus I avoiding the terrible loss in bws-i I iness. wages and the chaos of such affairs as have been engaged in. I Why has Governor Townsend come out in public support of the Roosevelt proposal to rejuvenate ! the Supreme Court? He told the , committee which prepared the ' resolutions for the Indiana Demo * cratic Editorial association that he. approved its stand on the Su 1 preme Court issue. The people are i behind the President, said Gover- j nor Townsend. He keeps a close check on how people are thinking ■ in Indiana and is frank in saying ' that they are with the President 1 ;in his program to reform the judiciary system. j Contract was let yesterday to i the Glazier Company of Muncie | for a 3345.000 men's dormitory to be erected immediately on the I campus of Ball State Teacher’s i College. The new building is a ' gift from Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Ball, in memory to their son, Frank Jr., who was killed in an airplane accident at • Findlay, Ohio, last summer. It will be a beautiful structure, designed by George i Schrieber, Indianapolis architect, and will add fu.ther attractiveness to the Ball State grounds, recogniz- ! ed as among the most up-to-date , I in the country. City officials are giving thougb' j to Lhe local electric rates with a view of being fair to consumers,! ! both for home purposes and for power use. There is nothing more ’ I important than a low power rate in any community which wishes ■to attract new industries. With I low taxes and a decent power rate, I i the plant can make larger earn- ; ings and provide the best offering- : for those seeking location for in-1 dustrial plants, at the same time being fair to those now located here and thus providing pay rolls and business for every one, direct1 ly or indirectly. o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File | 1 April 20—Department of agriculture asks congress for broad lawn to conserve food supplier.

Above is a map showing the location of Oxygen equipment placed in Indiana by the Psi lota Xi Sorority. Decatur is not shown on the map, although an Oxygenaire was donated by the local Psi lota Xi chapter to the Adams County Memorial hospital a few years ago. At a tea at the Clinton County hospital in Frankfort. Indiana, an Oxygenaire was presented to the hospital by Mrs. Lillian Setzer of ' Bloom Ing to”, Grand President of Psi iota Xi and Mrs. Anita Springer, t> Elisabethtown, charity chairman of the sorority. With the presentation of the Equipment to Frankfort, the Psi lota Xi sorority is completing its five year program in the field of Oxygen Therapy. Probably no other state is so well equipped for the ever increasing needs of Oxygen Therapy as Indiana. This work began with the building of the Oxygen chambers at the Riley hospital for children. These chambers which are two fully equipped hospi'a! rooms, were completed in 1932 ala cast exceeding SIO,OOO. Since (hat time the sorority has spent an additional $12,000 for oxygen tents, called oxygenaires, which have been placed in hosie pitals throughout Indiana and ono at Van Wert, Ohio. e . This year oxygen therapy has been made available to communities ,j which have very small hospitals or none at all. Two thousand dollars was appropriated for this work. During the past three months seventeen portable oxygen units called insuflators have been installed. _ The oxygen equipment in Indiana served a great need during the recent flood disaster. All available tents and Insuflators in the flood ♦ zone were in constant use, and in several Instances state police moved * oxygen tents by truck from the central part of the state into Lawrence- ! burg and other Stricken towns. In addition to their local charity work, the Psi lota Xi chapters have • I made a special donation for flood relief. Reports are not in from all but at present $3,393.65 has been donated for this cause.
