over in the city. A steel top on Joe Johns' automobile probably saved his life when a heavy limb fell across hrs car on South Fifth street. A huge dent was made in the top. Damage to shade trees in the city will be great. Besides those blown down, the tops were knocked out of many and huge limbs I I were strewn over the streets of| I the city. Newly planted small , trees were uprooted or bent to more than a 45 degree angle. County Damage At Berne a rain measuring 1.58 n inches fell, doing little damage.

“Oh, your lordly ways witn checks. Gave you the whip hand ror the nonce. What is a nonce by the way?” “A miniature nonsense," suggested Rose helpfully. With Sally and Dexter gone her manner had changed. She said, as they walked toward the door, “Bill, will you drive me home? Jon ... thanks for a grand evening. . . .” “But, look here—” “No, you go home and get some sleep. Out two nights hand-run-ning.” She surveyed him with mock disapproval. “And didn’t you tell me you had an operation scheduled for tomorrow?” “Tonsils. I could take ’em out in my sleep.” “Don’t let Baxman hear you say that,” warned Lynd, “he’ll be mad enough as it is, you cutting in on his field.”

Dr. Baxman was the Riverport nose and throat man. Jonathan shrugged. (( “The parents came to me, he said ... “Couldn’t afford Baxman, guessed Lynd aloud. “Look here, Rose, wait inside where it’s warm, I left the car around the corner.” “I’ll come with you,” she began, but he had gone. She remarked to Jonathan after a moment, “Jon, if you’d rather go to Placid with the Suttons. ...” “Don’t be silly! he said abruptly. “Os course I wouldn’t. ... I can't imagine anything more deadly. I don’t skate or ski or whatever it is that they do; I haven’t any equipment. .. No, I’d a lot rather not go, even if I could take the time off ... I’m giving an imitation of a busy doctor, you see,” he told her, smiling down at her, “and besides, I’m looking forward to dinner with you and your mother.” “Bill’s coming, too,” she said, “Mary and Tim are going to Tim s Pe °And with Bill too,” Jonathan amended his sentence, “of course. She started to say, ‘Why, of course?” but thought better of it. She said, instead, “Let’s go out and wait for Bill.” , A few moments later they had driven off and Jonathan was getting into his car. Setting it in motion he turned down Senator Street and saw the tail lights of Bills little car ahead of him. He thought. What happened to the evening ... . He'd anticipated it pleasantly, it was always fun, being with Rose, he liked to talk over his days with her he had wanted to repeat to her much that Sutton had said, wanted to ask hC But it had gone; first Sally and that ineffable ass Dexter, and then Bill snatching her away from tinder his nose.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1937.

Considerable hail fell but no damage to crops was reported. The windstorm did considerable damage in the south part of the county. One of the heaviest losses was suffered by Mrs. Minerva Murphy, I 10 miles southeast of Decatur in Monroe township. A barn, 36x80 I feet was destroyed. The loss was | covered by $1,500 windstorm insurance. A hog house on the same farm was also damaged. A freak of the storm was that 80 rods from the Murphy farm no damage was done. About SSO damage was done to

Do exactly as I tell you, and I’ll be along as soon as I can get there.” Mustard tub bath, at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an enema.... He waited till she had repeated his directions and then hung up and ran into the office for his bag. Opening it he looked quickly to see if sedative drugs were present, and a bottle of chloroform. He went out, slamming the door, to the garage and backed the car out and drove down Senator Street. There were still lights in Rose’s house, he noted automatically as he passed it. But he was not thinking of Rose. He was thinking of the Peters family who lived about five miles out of town on a farm. The Peters baby was six months old. His mother was nineteen. She’d been a patient of Doctor Ballard’s. Jonathan had attended the Peters baby, a week or so past, for a head cold. He’d seemed a healthy little tyke . . . and he thought, pushing the car up to the topmost speed of which it was capable, hurrying to a frightened young mother and a baby in convulsions, Spasmophila? Chvostek’s sign . . . Trousseau’s sign ... if these were present then the treatment was indicated . . . calcium, cod liver oil, and urging Mrs. Peters to bring the baby to his office for ultra violet treatments. He had forgotten Sally and her yellow head close to his shoulder and her flower-sweet perfume. He had forgotten Dexter’s lowering regard and he had forgotten Bill Lynd smiling at Rose. He had forgotten everything except that he was a physician hurrying to a sick child, in a frame house in the country. On the outskirts of town a policeman stopped him briefly and then waved him on again. He stepped on the gas and shot away. The road was bumpy, the little car bounced and jerked. It was very dark, a moonless sky, a sky without stars. Mrs. Peters had said that her husband was away. She was alone in the house then with a baby who had altered before her terrified eyes from the rosy roundness of normal babyhood to a jerking atom with stiffened limbs and distorted features, discolored, frightening . . . . The car sputtered and took a rut with an almost human malevolence. Jonathan swore, urging it on. He supposed that in due course of time he would grow, not calloused perhaps, but accustomed, but that time had not yet arrived and he could not endure the mental picture of the Peters girl alone in the house with the baby. He remembered the turn just in time, swung around it on two wheels and straightened out on the narrow country road. The second house on the left-hand side, he thought, peering ahead. That was it, all the lights blazed and perhaps, he thought, there w«s a neighbor woman who’d come in and helped in the emergency. But he remembered that on one side of the Peter’s house there were fields and that the house next door had long been empty. He turned in at the battered gate and stopped before the house and jumped from the car with his bag in his hand. The door stood open and he went in. (To be continued) Copyright by Faith Baldwin.

There is little agreement as to remedies and future programs.” Hodson posed several questions, such as: With industrial production rising why are so many on relief; has the machine displaced many workers forever; is public assistance to be permanently available; how adequate is current relief and relief methods; and do people prefer relief to work? Jerome Davis, associate prolkssor In the Yale university divinity school, said that failure of all classes of workers to organize "has probably cost us more than the World War.” “It workers had been effectively organized everywhere," Davis said, “then wages and salaries would have been kept up and profits would have been kept down. The disastrous financial orgies of the twenties, at least in part, would have been impossible and we would have experienced neither the financial fever or 1929 nor the subsquent headaches of 1932. “The twentieth century has witnessed an upthrust of the working class which demands a partnership in the economic life of the nation. | Professional workers cannot remain indifferent to this crucial struggle for justice.” Social workers also should organize into unions, Davis said, and should aid their clients to do so if “we really are to prevent exploitation and maladjustment.” o Give Figures On Compensation Paid . Indianapolis, May 27.—|(U.R)—Indiana workmen injured between the period of August 31, 1915, and June 30, 1936, received a total of: $46,009,699.76 in workmen's compensation, not including medical fees, through the state industrial board, Edward L. Beggs, secretary, announced today. Under the I ndiana workmen's compensation law the board holds hearings on compensation cases and approves awards to be made by employers to injured workers. Ffom July 1, 1035, to June 30, 1936, hearings were scheduled in 1,814 eases, making a total of 38,414 cases heard since Sept. 1, 1915. Compensation benefits awarded be- I tween July 1, 1935, and June 30, 1936, totaled $2,306,373.78.

The newly-created council, which represents workers, employers and the -public, Is to cetablish apprenticeship standards for all of thv approximately 75 skilled trades, and name a joint apprenticeship committee to co-operate with schools and co-ordinate employers and emp'oyes. Says Spanish War Is Not Religious Indianapolis, Ind., May 27 —(UP) i —Dr. Gernando de Los Rios, Spanish Ambassador to the United States, said in an address here late yesterday that the present civil war I in Spain would not have occurred ' if the ruling classes had not opposed social legislation enacted since 1931. “Those who assert Spain is waging a religious war either do not know whereof they speak or conceal the truth.” The Ambassador said.

These were designed “to ■ prove beyond any possibility of I doubt the existence of armed Italian intervention in Spain.” Document No. 91 purported to I be a photostatic copy of a message from Mussolini during the Guada lajara battle, saying: "I follow : the fortunes of the battle with a tranquil soul because I am con•vinced that the enthusiasm and tenacity of our legionnaires will sweep away the enemy's resist- ' ance.
