To us, a straw hat and an overcoat make a silly combination, even in July. A freight engine consumes from 150 to 350 gallons of water per mile, which puts the Iron Horse down as a heavy drinker, but not a drunkard. A ten-year-old Anderson girl after visiting the White House and being shown about, expressed her wish that she might live there. Many a man has felt the same way, history proves. The list of Public Enemies now include the Brady gang, the kidnapers of Mrs. Parsons and the Morrison boy, and the degenerate who killed the three little California girls. They've been so many headlines recently that Amelia Earhart’s around the world flight almost takes its place with ordinary run of events. The brave woman deserves great credit for her bravery and mastery of the skies. The Boy Scouts, about 25,000 strong have invaded Washington for the National Jamboree. Im agine the inspiring sight as the youths marched down the avenue, happy, singing and a heart tilled with faith in America. We dare’ not fail them. * W’hat more can be said of the wedding. The bride was described as the reigning beauty of the : Du Pont family; the groom a stal-l wart, handsome gentleman; kind ! ly understanding smiles passed I over the faces of the parents and the President of the United States beamed in fatherly pride. Ah! The world loves romance.

We sail along through life, and in the dark something smashes our plans. The big opportunity comes, and we haven't anything saved up for it. Try shopping from the ads in this newspaper.

We believe one of the reasons tor so many auto accidents is explained in the following tld-blt: A motorist, barely avoiding a ; , broadside crash, remarked, "Why, on earth didn’t you signal?’’ Re-i 1 plied the sweet thing, who had t ; crossed the road into her home, -. driveway, "I always turn in here, ‘ stupid." What we need in this country is more mental telepathy. ii Back the Chamber of Commerce ? in its effort to provide a good q street fair and agricultural show. 5 Financial assistance is needed now ' and a few dollars donated to the cause will encourage those charged with providing a big community show next August. You can't expect much, unless you have given something and the dividends come back. The task of working out France s > financial troubles is now in the hands of Premier Chautemps. sweeping powers being voted him in the monetary crisis. It’s a job to restore the value of the franc and later an agreement will be made with the United States fixing the minimum gold content of the country's basis of value. England and America had its troubles a few years ago and through legislation did what France now is try- ■ . ing to do. Financial stability in that country will have its good effect in other parts of the world. The sudden death of Charles Brossman of Indianapolis removed one of the most able and best known consulting engineers in the state. Mr. Brossman was competent as a civil, electrical and me- , chanical engineer and enjoyed a wide reputation as a consulting engineer. At one time he was employed by the City of Decatur to deal with the water treatment system at the municipal plant and installed the process that now softens and purifies the water for 1 boiler purposes. The Indianapolis ’ Star, in an editorial tribute to him, | remarks, "Mr. Brossman’s sudden I death comes as a shock to many , friends. The entire community and the engineering profession suf- ' fer in the loss of such a civic-: minded citizen.” Governor Townsend comes to i the front as one of the country’s | greatest leaders through his peace- 1 ful settlement of the steel strike in the Calumet district. He got the union officials and the plant operators to agree to a settlement and work will be resumed in the , mills. There was no bloodshed | and no martial law. Probably only < I common sense was used, backed | with sincerity and firmness to see j ’ that justice prevailed. Governor I Townsend stressed the fact that 1 the agreement was not an agree- f rnent between the union and the j companies but a pact signed with ' • *■ ; the state labor department. The last legislature set up the legal ■ requirements for the labor board to function as a mediating body I I and great good has resulted from i I its efforts. 0 I♦ ♦ ' I Modern Etiquette J By ROBERTA LEE ♦ r— ♦ I Q. Should an unmarried woman j ■ be presented to a married woman? I A. Yes, unless the married wo- ■ i man is very young and the other I woman is elderly, or probably ten > : years older than the married wo-i I man. Q. Is it proper to say, “From ; j thence we went to Chicago?” A. No. Omit. from. Thence j i means “from that place.” Merely ! say, "Thence we went to Chicago." | Q. Is it necessary to introduce all guests at a small dinner or ’ luncheon? A. Yes; do so by all means. i o , I Household Scrapbook I By Roberta Lee Boiling Clothes The best way to boil clothes is to start them in cold water, and I allow them to remain until they j have boiled for at least ten minutes.
