Don't feel that because you sent mother a box of candy or a bunch of Howers for Mothers Day. you have fulfilled your duties to her. She will appreciate more an occasional hug or a letter during the year. The committee in charge of the New York world fair has decided not to use any newspaper advertising but depend upon news items. You can imagine the enthusiasm of the publisher about such a program. Dee Fryback of the automobile license bureau reports that up to the first of this month the local office issued eight hundred more sets of plates than for the same period last year, which explains why our traffic problems are increasing. Do you think it would help solve the traffic problem to build a new street along the river bank and do you think it could be financed and be worth the cost? We would like to receive and publish your ideas along this line or any thing else that will build the community. It's your town. Most folks who hope- for greater safety in traffic regulations are in sympathy with the campaign nowbeing made over the country to do away with the stop and go signals, arguing that so many try to beat the lights and tbu- cause accidents. That may occur occasionally but we feel sure there would be more smash ups without the lights. The cleanup campaign goes merrily on and with visible results. Every where the yards and homes and places of business are showing improvement. The Junior Chamber of Commerce members are keeping up their good work and doing a job that should bring Bud Townsend, president, and his associates, the thanks and appreciation that is their due. Mrs. Simpson, much in the headlines these days, has assumed her maiden name of Wallis Warfield, under which she will wed the Duke of Windsor. Evidently she wishes to forget she ever heard of Captain Spencer or Mr. Simpson. She got the change in a London court for a two dollar bill. Now when you see the name of Wallis Warfield you win have to remember that she is the Baltiaiore girl who caused King Edward to renounce his throne. Mayor Holthouse has appointed a committee to study the traffic problem in Decatur, with the Hon. Hallie Meyers of the state highway commission, to determine permanent routes for the state roads through the city and to recommend to the city administration such results as may be de-

1 termined upon as the best solu tlon. That’s a big assignment and i those on the committee no doubt realise its importance. They will require the assistance and fullest : cooperation of every one who desires this matter, so important to the immediate and future needs, to be solved to the best interests of every one here, Os course every one is favorable to the proposition to reduce expenditures for relief by onethird if we can do so without in- ‘ terfering too much with progress of the prosperity era. Looks as though that might be done now with the decided improvement in I conditions and the demand for la- ’ ■ bor. The public also hopes it will he possible to cut the appropri-1 at ions ten per cent as is being ad vocated by several senators and congressmen if that also does not slow us too much and it does seem, I that with a little care we could i economise. With a national indebtedness of approximately $35.000,000.000 and a deficit that prevents balancing the budget, this should be a very important matter j for consideratoiu and we are sure it will be when the administration I feels the time has arrived. Contrary to public opinion, poli- i tics is a poorly paid profession. Few people come out of politics with much more than they had before they started. On the other hand, polities has been the financial ruin of many persons with money. The reason: The overhead. Persons in political life must spend money by force of necessity. They must contribute generously to almost everything that comes along. The death of W. Forbes Morgan, former treasurer of the Democratic [ National Committee — who raised thousands of dollars for the party’ : —brought out rite unprofitableness of politics. Mr. Morgan left an estate of less than SIO,OOO. He had resigned his post with the nation al committee recently to enter pri-j viate business, saying at the time he could not afford to continue in politics. Many Hoosiers are having occasion to write to the Philippine Islands since former Gov. and Mrs. Paul V. McNutt and his staff have arrived there. Mail service to the island, approximately 7,000 miles from Indiana, is of interest. Air mail rates are 50 cents a half ounce and 50 cents for each additional half ounce. Air mail is carried on the China Clipper which takes off from San Francisco each Wednesday. It is delivered in Manila six days later. - Since it i takes two days for air mail to reach San Francisco from Indianapolis, a letter to Manila by air mail takes only eight days. By regular mail the time required is 25 days. Since the Philippine Islands is a possession of the United States, a letter will go to Manila by regular mail for three cents. Seven thousand miles for three cents. That is getting value received for your money. Arthur C. Babson, a member of the famous Babson statistical organization, made a good Democratic speech before the Indiana Bankers’ association at Indianapolis last week. Business activity in the nation has reached 1923-27 and 1937 will show a gain of 7 per cent over 1936, he told the bank ers. He added that "1937 will be ■ the best year in point of business I volume since 1929.” Mr. Babson, of course, was not actually delivering a political address, but he gave facts on business conditions that bespoke the wisdom of the Roosevelt administration's recovery program. Higher profits, more orders and greater employment has caused the evaporation of the depression, he said. He estimated the 1936 national income at approximately $60,000,000,000. an increase of more than 50 per cent, over the low of $39,000,000,000 in 1929 and within 28 per cent of the 1929 high of $83,000,000,000. And Big Business still hates Roosevetl!

Crown Jewels Worth 525,000,000 * [King George VT) '(AB J/ F B fit ■ Jr - BHS£t j .^*s^- *’> | Royal scepter] [Royal orb]

By HORACE WALMSLEY International Illustrated .News Writer LONDON—On his triumphal return from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace following the coronation. His Majesty King George VI will be bedecked with ’ some of the most beautiful, romantic and valuable jewels in the , world. The imperial crown of state, a resplendent blaze of gold and precious stones, contains 2,785 dia- ! monds, 277 pearls. 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and five rubies. Weighi ting five pounds, it holds the fa--1 'mous Black Prince ruby, worth i more than $500,000 itself. One of its diamonds, the Second Star of Africa, weighs 309 carats. Taken from the famous Cullinan, it is the second largest cut diamond in existence. Largest is the major portion of the Cullinan Hone, the Star of Africa, set in I the,top of the king's scepter. Story of Black Prince Ruby In the entire collection of royal I British jewels, valued at between , $25,000,000 and $30,000,000, the Black Prince ruby has the most colorful history. Few people know that it is not a true ruby, iiut I really a spinel, or semi-precious stone closely resembling the pigeon's blood ruby. It originally belonged to the King of Granada, who was killed by the King of C-astille in 1367 for the sole purpose of acquiring the gem. On Spanish battlefields the | delicious flavor. Cleaning A Straw Hat A good cleaner for the straw hat, can be made by mixing corn meal, ■

Black Prince, eldest son of King Edward 111, won it from Castllle. Worn by Henry V at the battle of Agincourt, it was sold by Cromwell Puritans for the equivalent of S2O, and later stolen from the Tower of London by the infamous Captain Blood. Jewels of Fabulous Value Other crown jewels, most of them of fabulous worth, will flash like froecn flames at the coronation. The Star of Africa studs the richly-set royal scepter, ensign of kingly power and justice. The sword of state, a symbolical military emblem, is worth about SIOO,OOO and is considered the most valuable sword in existence. A two-handed blade, containing one gem worth $15,000, it is housed in a scabbard of gold. The royal orb, a six-inch globe of pure gold, is bunded with jewels and topped wit’- a je- M-studded cross. It is handed to the new king after he has put on the royal robe, and represents his worldwide domain. Coronation crowds, unversed in the intricacies of gem classification, will not care whether the ; Black Prince ruby is authentic or not. Nor will they be Interested in the exact monetary value of the stones. The royal jewels will be to them a thing of awe and beauty seldom seen, symbolizing wealth of the realm on which "the sun i never sets". ;a strong solution of oxalic acid. ’ and water, to a thick paste. Rub [ this into the straw thoroughly, al- ‘ low it to dry, then brush it well.
