Advertising Kates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative SC HE ER ER & CO. 115 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive. Chicago. Charter Member of The Indiana League of Homs Dailies. Several suggestions as to possible highway routes through De catur have been made, showing there is keen interest here in this important matter. The committee will be pleased to hear from oth- . ers and to give them earnest con-' sideration. Your support of the plans now in progress of forming for the big convention of northeastern Indiana firemen is important. We owe much to those citizens who serve in this capacity for the excellent work done by them in the past. Let's help the local boys show their visitors the best time they ever had. Ed Wynn, radio star, must pay his divorced wife three hundred dollars a week, if he can make a joke out of that he can immediate ly be classed as a genuine humor- ( .ist. We doubt if Mark Twain would even have thought that funny and he, according to the, stories, didn't care much about: money, one way or another. It's commencement season and in the various high schools of the county, preparations have been concluded for the important event when the young men and women receive diplomas and step out to put some new footsteps in the sands of time. A great occasion it is for them and we sincerely, hope that the fulfillment of their fondest dreams will come true. Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith are off for Ireland and other European ports for sight seeing and their . first vacation abroad. Al was ” dressed all in brown with the j brown derby atop his head and 'appeared very happy as he said good bye to the hundreds who came to wish them bon voyage. I They will visit in Rome, Paris. Naples, London and Dublin. Os course whatever routes are - selected for state highways I through Decatur will be busy -thoroughfares for a lot of traffic -‘passes through here daily and this *is growing rather than diminish- ” ing. Handling the cars and parking them is now and will continue to be quite the most serious prob- .. lem for every good community and there is no simple way to solve it. 1 While the permanent routes for state highways are being worked out by a local community in co-; operation with state authorities, we won't hurt any thing by providing parking limits and other! regulations. Even if we only take' • care of the local business it will prove a whale of a job and that; we know we have to do, regardless I of what the permanent routes are. Several factories, now located( in large cities, would like to come I -to Deeatur but the greatest diffi-, culty is that we can not house ! their people. A number of new residences are being constructed and more will follow but it seems; we can't go fast enough to meet all the demands. Perhaps a slower;

growth will be better than a boom, but on the other hand we ought I to welcome all Industries that are O. K. and will help solve the problems that always arise when communities are growing. Life Insurance week. There are ' occasions which receive more pub- ; lie demonstration but we doubt if ; after all there are any more ImI * portant to the general public. It has been the business which has saved the nation economically. During the recent depression they kept their contracts, loaned billions of dollars, paid their losses and kept going In such a manner as to merit and gain the confidence of the public. The young man or woman who doesn't protect the future of himself and his family with insurance is not looking forward as he or she should. The Republican state committee is having a revolution which may ' or may not prove a good thing. They are making the shake up in lan off year and will have until next spring to get over it's ill effects but from the press reports its so serious that a sued may follow that will not be healed by the | nassing of a few months. Perhaps it would have been better if they had ditched both sides and started over and don't be surprised if that is the final result for usually that is the way such battles usually finish. They have to get worse before they can get better. The sudden death of Willard B. Suttles, former well known resident here and who had returned to visit his son and other relatives in this county, shocked the many who have held him in high regards always. For years a citizen, recog- 1 nized as an industrious and public spirited member of society, he led in Masonic work and other activ--1 ities. His ability was recognized ' years ago and he was taken by the railroad company for which he worked to Pennsylvania where he had charge of a big engineering job that saved them thousands of ■ of dollars and accomplished what many had said was impossible, constructing a bridge over what ap-; peared to be a bottomless bog. I He continued with the company until retired with pension because I of age. A real fellow, he had many warm friends and admirers in this community. The Columbia City Post, a Demo-1 cratic daily, gave some publicity to Lewis E. Geiger, trustee of Smith township, Whitley county, which he doesn't like. Geiger, a Republican, has been firing Democratic teachers and The Post pub- ; lished the facts. In a letter to the • editor Geiger denied he was playing politics, yet the Republican county chairman is among teacht ers in the Churubusco schools. A | strange coincident —if Geiger isn't I playing politics. About as “strange” as what happened in a certain Indiana county during the Hoover; administration when orders came' to combine the rural mail routes and dismiss six carriers. All let out were Democrats. In another Indiana county there are 96 postal employes, including office clerks and rural carriers, and 92 of the number are Republicans. That's I civil service ala Republican. —_____ Republican papers declare there is no politics in this Supreme Cburt (question, but because Senator Frederick VanNuys has seen fit to | go against the wishes of his party I on that issue. Republicans are adI vocating running him for Senator, and even President, on their ticket. Is any further proof necessary that ; the Supreme Court question is a ! political question? The DuPonts ; and the Mellons and the Rascobs, representatives of great wealth, do no want any change made in the I structure of the Supreme Court. Their ideas have nothing in common with that of three-fourths of the people of the United States. But the powerful minority usually is able to put it all over the uninformed majority, for whom Presi-

o THE FUN Fasten one end of a three or four I inch piece of elastic or string to a , key or other object of similar size ' and weight. Taking the other end of ■ the elastic, draw the key slowly across a desk or table. Draw It across rapidly. Now draw it slowly in a direction following the circumference of a circle, a foot or so in diameter. Draw it around tnis arc rapidly. In this last oase you will s» e that the weight goes tumbling out of the circle. Try it at various speeds, and over the imaginary circumference of circles of varying widths.

I 1 f THE FACTS Inertia is the tendency of bodies in motion to remain in motion in a straight line. On a curve, the car, tending to continue in a straight , line, exerts considerable force in the : direction of the outer edge At low speeds there is more time in which to change gradually the direction of the car. At high speeds the Car continues in a straight line and goes off the road at the curve. There is no way of evading the laws of inertia.

When a woman 1® entertaining her card chib, is it proper to give very handsome and costly prize®, if one can afford it and wishes to do so? A. No. It is very inconsiderate to do so, for the obvious reason that other members of the club may not be able to afford such extravagance. Q. Should a man remove his glove to shake hands with a woman? A. Yes, if her hand is glovelees. If the woman 1® wearing gloves, it' is not necessary. Q. Is ft proper to eay or write. "I shall be happy to accept yonr Invitation"? A.
