Next on the program of public interest will be the firemen's convention and the Boy Scout Camporee, both to be held here next■ week. Now it's time for reports of 1 deaths from the heat waves. The | lakes will do a good business this summer if the early reports are an indication. *■ The death of George Baker, New York financier, may help to balance the budget. It is said his estate will be from >350,000,000 up and the inheritance tax on that amount will aid the U. S. treasury considerably. Jigger Johnson, Van Wert man. well known here, rode with 'Wilbur Shaw on his 500 mile excursion around the Speedway tracks. He may not receive much money but he sure had a thrill and think of how he can boast to his grand- j children. Summer jumped right into our laps over the week end. From a; very nice, though rather damp spring, we rounded the corner so ’ rapidly that most folks had to dig ' their summer duds out of the j closet and replace them with the winter blankets. Pickpockets dupped Judge Frank Baker of the Indianapolis criminal court of his wallet and sixty dollars at the races Monday and is the judge mad? Well, it will be wise for the guilty guy to ask a change of venue if he gets in the I hands of the police. Be careful boys and girls when I you handle fireworks. Each year hundreds are killed and Injured as a result of carelessness at the • season of the Fourth. This has become so important that in several states fireworks cannot be sold or handled expect by special permit. Day after tomorrow will be a . day to go down in history for it will be centuries before the school boy and girl is permitted to forget that King Edward resigned and retired from the throne so that he might marry an American woman whom he loved. It’s the kind of a story that lives through the ages and it will as years go by no doubt be colored to excel the tales of Napoleon. Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis took the honors, the >20,000 first prize and >5,000 in lap money as a result of his little four hour jaunt around the Speedway Mon- , day. It was a thrilling race, wit nessed by 170,000 people, largest crowd ever to attend the races and Shaw had no time to waste for Jimmy Hepburn was just two seconds back of him and two other drivers broke the previous track record Shgw had an average of 113 miles an hour.

i Fifteen thousand tenants in I Pontiac, Michigan, are on a rent strike today. They notified owuura I of the houses three weeks ago that unless the rents were reduced they I would refuse to pay after June Ist. •j Their claims may or may not have , I merit but it is doubtful if a court 1 can support them in their position. Surely the owners of property I have the right to fix what they feel is fair for the lessee to pay and if not, there is always the privilege of moving. We are informed the National Probation meeting in Indianapolis I last week was not the partisan affair you might have been led to believe from the newspaper reports and the dispatches sent from : there. Two or three of the speakers made remarks that formed a ■ text for the politician who wished ; to infer that the meeting was a j real G. O. P. love feast. On the other hand there were many compliments for Indiana institutions and those of the administration i I who are so proud of them. Little Walter Staver, 11, was bathing in the" ’ole swimmin’ hole" at Michigan City last Friday. got beyond his depth and ! sunk. Another boy screamed and Ed Merck, a "hobo", dashed out of a jungle, dived five times to recover the boy’s body, brought him i to shore and worked with him until aid came, then disappeared back into his jungle. Citizens raised >l5O and it is being held at police headquarters for him if he will call. He is also offered a good job and a welcome to citizenship if he wishes to settle down. If you can’t find a place to park, and get provoked because there is so much traffic on the highways, here is the answer. There are 70,500 more motor vehicles in Indiana today than there were last year. Such an increase presents a real problem for highway construction. Motor cars are increasing faster than the state is getting money to construct roads. In North township, Lake county, which embraces East Chicago, Whiting. Hammond, Munster and Highland, there are 3,818 more ; cars than the first of June 1936, or only 5,239 less machines than homes. A Spanish bomb wrecked a Ger- , man patrol ship and killed a score ! of soldiers. Germany retaliated by bombing the town from where the attack came killing a hundred. A few years ago no power on earth would have prevented war in which a dozen European nations would have joined and in which this nation might have been drawn. Now however with all the provo--1 cation, experts say there will not be war and chat each nation seems satisfied. Either they have the fight desire pretty well satisfied or they can’t figure just how to successfully finance area? conflict. Whatever the cause, the world is grateful that we will not have a repetition of 1914-18. Several Tenth street property owners are objecting to the plan of routing highway 27 down that thoroughfare claiming it is the ideal residence street of the city and should be so retained. That may be true but if the residents of each street takes that position we will be forcing the state commission to plan a route outside the city limits, which of course is not ' j so good from a business point of ’ view. Just the same your opinions are what count and we will be pleased to have them to publish. The various officials on whom r i I the responsibilities rest wish to i do what the greatest number of ' I i people want done. That’s the ad- , vantage of a free form of government, which we still have in this t I country.

S ’-■> ■ -By Jean Prentice VIEW beauty for the home is no IN longer confined to the inside of its four walls. The outside is having its turn, too. Light in the garden—as well as in the house—nc-” makes it possible for the family to enjoy all of its domain during the evening hours. Since evening Is the time when .social life is at its best, a lighted ’ garden fits right into the scheme of things. “Come out and see the garden” may now be said to guests after the evening's bridge session is over. What is exhibited at the flick of a 1 switch is a quite different garden from the daytime one. It may be more beautiful, too. Whether one’s gardening tastes '. run to shrubbery and lawn or profuse flowers, the lighting may be adjusted to make a brand new show I place tor the home.

lights and shadows. In a flower garden one's imagination can have a perfectly grand time working out an “outdoor living room.” What makes this family enjoyment practical is the weather-proof equipment available, including wa-ter-tight socket* and waterproof wiring. Also, fixtures to hold the bulbs are neat and retiring by daytime. And the cost of lighting a garden during the evening may be no more than that of a package of gum, or two package* if the garden is a large one. The stage is set for experimentation once you have attached this waterproof wiring to a basement or garage socket and extended it out ! beneath the flowers to the point of interest you would like to light. 1 A better picture is secured when • a faint over-all background of light ' is provided from two or more re- ' Hectors or floodlight* placed on trees, garage or house.

Among the amusing garden lighting novelties for the flower border is a white mother duck with five yellow ducklings. Behind each is clipped a bulb to highlight the background. Novelties are not necessary in garden lighting, however. A real Tufa rock, for example, will blend completely with the garden background. It is hollowed out. and has an open side from which shines a light on the rock garden, or pathway. Reflectors, with green caps and spikes, may be placed quite inconspicuously in the border. Whether done on the grand scale or a modest one, garden lighting is certain to be a new point 1 of interest in the „
