The spring rains certainly gave the lawns and shrubbery a start this year. Everything is a rich green and the landscape never was more beautiful. . To avert a strike in the movie ' colony, the producers might show “Springtime,” with the hope that I one touch of nature would make ■ the whole world kin. The consumption of gasoline during the first quarter of 193". I explains to some extent why we have more traffic in Decatur. In Indiana a year ago, 106,726,849 gallons were consumed as compared I with 125,483,534 gallons this year. As a medium of public service, I the Daily Democrat h_s installed! a Taylor weather thermometer in front of its office. The figures are printed big enough to 'see across the street, so if you want to know how cold or how warm it is, take a glance at the dial. Although the cost of living is going up, the Investors Syndicate,, is authority for the statement that income is more than holding its own. In April the employe received $1.32 for every dollar he got. a year ago, while the increased living expenses for the same period figured only $1.09, The worker is still ahead of the game. War Admiral, son of the famous Man-of-War took the cookies at the Kentucky Derby. The runners-up didn't have a chance and the' Biddle colt proved itself so much better that sportsmen are predicting a whole season ci victories. If horses could reason it out, there would be cause for Man-of-War to ! celebrate over a famous son. Former Vice-President Charlie Dawes is out with a prediction - that the country will see another stock market crash In 1939. That should give u» time prepare for it. Under the present federal laws, the running up of stocks on the old 1929 plan is impossible and if values do come down, the crash will not be as severe. In the meantime business will be good, Mr. Dawes predicts. Decatur has the same number Os streets it had a hundred years ago, when the automobile wasn’t dreamed of. No wonder there is congestion now-a-days when it is ! considered that in Indiana alone! more than one million oars are 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

: registered. Years ago when CMi cago had growing pains it built a lake front, filling In a wide wide ; territory and constructing some of ' the finest streets and boulevards lin the world. Os course the aver- , ago small town can't do it that way. but it does look as If they would have to build a few expan- ! sion streets. England's big show is underway, climaxing with the coronation Wednesday. A million visitors from all parts of the world are on hand, although only a few of the priviledged will witness the actual ' ceremony of coronation in Westminster Abbey. There is much ado over the crowning of the king, it may be the last event of its kind, the abdication of King Edward putting a different light on the importance of the exalted post. However it's what the English people want and as long as they are willing to pay for the show 1 and keep a king as a figure-head, guess we haven't anything to kick about. One of Indiana s most famous sons is dead. Harry S. New. former United State senator, postmast- | er-general in two cabinets and an honest and able public servant died Sunday at the age of 78. Fifteen years ago Harry New was at 1 the top of the political ladder. He was retired from the senate and served with great credit in the, Harding and Coolidge cabinets. He built up the postal service and : j was one of the first postmaster-! generals to insist on the speedy delivery of daily newspapers. He I was a lovable character, had many j friends and few enemies. He also brought credit to the state he loved ’ and served. Being governor is a full-time job i and this is certainly the case with • Governor Townsend. He takes his 1 duties seriously and believes in ' giving efficient service. One of! his secretaries kept a minute-by-' minute accouut of the governor's office schedule the other day. She I clocked him at 8:45 a. m. at his: office, where he remained until j 6:30 p. tn. During the time he held ! 28 personal interviews, had 18. : telephone conferences, a press i meeting, conferred with nine de-' partment heads, made a speech at, 7:30, returned to his home at 9:30 ; and worked on state papers until j 10:45 p. m. No chance for a sitdown strike in the governor's office. The traffic troubles will not be solved entirely with an ordinance prohibiting double parking or limiting it in the congested district. The thought should be along the lines of building new roads or streets, in keeping with the increased number of cars and the heavier use of trucks. If Decatur! is one of the largest shipping: points between Chicago and PittsI burgh, it goes to prove that we : have more traffic than most towns! this size. We must care for this increased growth and keep up with! the procession. One suggestion that merits a lot of consideration is the building of a new street along the west bank of St. Mary's river, connecting it with the MerI cer avenue and and South Second street intersection and then north to North Second street. We can't keep down the number of cars or I limit the use of trucks operated by local industry, the beet, soya bean and dairy farmers with an ordin-: I ance. We must build a city that, | will take care of more traffic and! I keep as our policy the desire to grow with it. o . ♦ —; ♦ !
