The country needs a rest from legislation and is certainly entitled to it. Os course Saturday night was a little unusual because of the con-j ventions in session here but the traffic problem is one that keeps the officers busy most any evening. Some parking regulations must be made. It's no longer a case of what we like but what we have to do to take care of a situation. It's serious to park your car near a fire hydrant. In case of a conflagration there might be a de-' lay that would cost thousands of dollars for the secret of fire fighting is to get after the blaze before 1 it gets too great a start. You may disregard some of the warnings as to parking but the one providing . that you must not hitch wlthiu ten feet of a plug, is too important to "monkey" with. Strikes and more strikes and* why? So far we haven't ascertained any good reason, other than the advantage of a few leaders who appear to be seeking power and the returns that go with it. ! So far the situation has not been serious in Indiana, as compared to other states and it is to be hoped the good sense of our citizens of every class will unite in keeping the old Hoosier state clean and healthy and safe. Next Sunday is Dad's Day. Don't know just who worked that up but it's becoming a national day for giving a little special attention to "the’ old main.” It’s not a very good thing because they have us about spoiled now, but it won t hurt any thing to let him know that you realize he has quite a battle it he carries the flag of success up the hill of life. And success means guiding and caring for a family. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Spencer of Kempton, Indiana, have established a record really worth while. The last of their eight children gradnated from Indiana University yesterday, completing their work of educating the boys and girls. The first child graduated from I. U. twenty years ago and the others in the interim have received their diplomas. Six of them graduate from Indiana and two from Dall State Teacher's College. Parson Anderson Jardine of Darlington, England, has resigned. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

| That wouldn’t be news over here < iu Indiana If it were not for the fact that he is the pastor who braved the authorities of church and state, and performed the wedd- ' ing ceremony for Edward and Wally. In that act. he leaped from obscurity into international prominence and perhaps has plans of; i cashing in now. He gives no ex- ’ i cuse or reason for his resignation, j but the future will perhaps pro- I vide any information our curiosity demands. France should follow Premier Blum's suggestion to abolish Dev- 1 il’s Island, the "land of the living dead" in French Guiana. It is a terrible place, too horrid for a; I Christian nation to support. Crim- . Inals, no doubt, need to be confined behind walls and privileges taken away from them, but they say dogs have a better life and are I given more consideration than the j poor unfortunate humans who are j | sent to Devil's Island. These socalled prison camps generally lead to a nation's undoing and France should heed the word of Premier Blum. The State of Indiana is the biggest corporation within its bound- : ries. And it is growing. Then j years ago 47Y6 million dollars was , handled by the auditor of state and for the fiscal year of 1935-38 . the receipts of all funds was more 1 than 78 millions. In 1925-28 the | auditor issued 69.000 checks and in ' 1935-36 Auditor Laurence F. Sulli-' van issued 274,000. This year more than 300,000 checks will be written. The auditor pays all salaries and all claims against the, state. In addition, he collects the gasoline and oil inspection taxes. The gasoline tax receipts last year i were more than 22 millions—the i most received by the state from any source. These figures running into the millions show the import- . ance of having trained and exper- > fenced men in the auditor's office. Mr. SnlHvan and his deputy, John P. Eilerbush, are ably filling the ■ i bill. Loyalty! This word carries a world of meaning whether applied to home, office, church or polities. A person who is loyal has something in his heart that overshadows i all other traits. This quality often ■ makes up for deficiency in other • ways. We believe a man or wo- \ man holding public office through j ' victory of his or her political i party has a loyalty to the administration that the person who gets his job through a competitive examination does not possess. And in the same manner it is party loyalty which compels- the executive patronage to pick efficient persons, There is a good reason. The I party in power must make a good \ record to remain in office. This is the check against inefficient and incapable persons getting into pub ) lie office. It is loyalty that the appointee has to his party — whether it be Democratic or ReI publican — that makes him a devout worker. This loyalty, this responsibility to party, will cease to ) exist if the power of patronage is taken away. o—- ♦ — ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ — 4 1.

Veterans of the famous 42nd (Rainbow) Division of the JVorld War will have many war experiences to talk over when they meet at their national convention in'Columbus, 0., on July 12th, 13th, and 14th. The division was overseas eighteen months and was one of the crack combat divisions of the United States Army. Men from every state in the Union served in its ranks. The official U. S. Signal Corps picture above was taken at Ansauville France, on Sept. 15, 1918, showing some of the prisoners captured by the Rainbow during the St. Mihiel Drive enroute to the prison stockade at Menil-la-Tour.

During its service overseas, the Rainbow spent four months in the St Clemont, Luneville and Baccarat trench sectors: was a unit of the Fourtn French Army under General Henri Gouraud when that Army stopped the great German drive in the Champagne, and was also in the thick of the fray during the Chateau Thierry, St Mihiel, and Argonne drives. It closed its war career with four months on the Rhine with the Army of Occupation. Elaborate plans have been made for entertainment of the veterans and the Riinbow-Auxiliary morning, afternoon, and night each day of the convention. The annual banquet the night of July 14th i will be followed by a spectacular outdoor “Cham- . pagne Hour” celebration in downtown Columbus, to ; which the gessral public ip invited.

SLASH INDIANA WPA PAYROLLS 8,000 WPA Workers In Indiana To Be Taken From Payroll Indianapolis. June 15. — (U.PJ State officials of the works progress administration and the U. S. ' employment service today com1 pleted plans to shift approximately 8,000 Indiana WPA workers to 1 private industry. Meanwhile, state WPA officials I announced that an additional 300 non-rellef workers, Including recre- ) atlonaT directors and teachers, will be dismissed. They receive higher salaries than the ordinary relief | worker. Under a quota set by the federal government at Washington, Indiana’s roll of 55,000 WPA woi’kers must be cut to 47,000 by July 15, John K. Jennings, state WPA director, said. Jennings and Martin F. Carpeni ter. state director of the U. 8. employment service, dratted orders ! to the five district directors of the i WPA. The orders provide for daily contact between the two organizations by WPA foremen and project s supervisors for transfer of relief workers best suited to industrial j work. Workers who take jobs in private industry but lose them later through no fault of their own, will be placed back on WPA rotis, the state WPA director indicated. He also announced termination ,of three federally-sponsored proi jects and curtailment of a fourth on June 36. Approximately 400 i workers will be affected by the ac--1 tion. Projects to be eliminated by WPA authorities include a supplementary staffing of the Indiana state planning board, a survey of federal archives, and the American ) buildings survey. The project which includes the federal theater, writers, historical records surveys, and act and ma-1 sic activity’s will operate on a re- 1 duced quota after June 30, Jen- ' nings said. o *” | FIVE COLLEGES .(OONTINyBD FKOM, ONE) pierces through to your decisions l and controls what you do, then the glory of the divine perfection shall abide in this place.” Dr. Aydelotte recounted the

strides which have lisen made by education, but declared that “the great evil of American education has been regimentation." "We have too often assumed,” he said, "that because nt! men are equal before the law they are also equal In the capacity for dealing with ability, for dealing with abstract ideas. We have forced young people with various grades of ability to proceed together with the Inevitable result that we have dulled the minds and wasted the talents of the best." American universities now are realizing this, he said, and are providing facilities to allow students to progress according to their mental capacities. At Greencastle 245 graduating DePauw university seniors heard Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, former president of DePauw university, deliver the commencement address. An all-powerful state is not what is necessary to solve present problems. the bishop asserted. Rather, it is a “free individual, free to engage in the unrestricted pursuit I of truth." Fifteen honorary degrees were awarded by DePauw. At Butler university. 326 grad-'
