I and financial crashes. The new | valuations will form the basis for figuring tax levies payable next year. Fort Wayne seems wrought up over the proposal to kill or not to kill the pigeons which roost around the court house. The building Is being scrubbed and cleaned up and the suggestion to shoot the pigeons has met with strong opposition. ; If the birds are a pleasure to anyi one, why not let them alone. The fight promoters are building up a big racket with Joe Louis, hoping to garner a few hundred thousand before the champion meets Schmeling. They are proposing a match between the Brown Bomber and Tommy Farr, who seems to be eligible because he put Maxie Baer to sleep. As long as the public pays, the LouisSchmeling fistic spectacle will be in the offing. An ex slave, 107 years old, living in Rhode Island, prescribed several reasons for longevity. He said: “When you gotta go somewheres, don't walk —-ride. Walk moderate and not hustle. Eat till you're full, and never throw the fat away. Wash yourself with soap that's got tar in it. One reason people die young is they use perfumed soap to wash with." What? No buttermilk! Governor Townsend has appointed the members of the boards of trustees of the state's 17 penal and benevolent institutions. Their terms are for four years and their duties are to ’supervise the administration of these important Institutions. Operating the penal and correctional institutions is a job that grows larger in every state and one that demands thought and honest effort. A substitute supreme court reorganization bill has been introduced in the senate and following the usual course will be referred to the judiciary committee for report. Evidently congress is going to be in session most the summer and the court measure is to be the important piece of legislation to be considered. When it gets hot in Washington the solons will make every effort to reach an agreement and if possible get an early vote on the court bill. The coming weeks may bring about a settlement of the strikes. After all men must work and industries must run in order to carry on. Some of the trouble, it seems conies from outside influences and the determination of labor groups to bring about control. Instances have been shown where the majority of men wish to return to work but are prevented by threat and violence. Employes should be privileged to settle their own matters, meet with their employers, and work out their own problems, from a local standpoint and in most cases a satisfactory settlement can be reaches. The tented city that houses 25,000 Boy Scouts, assembled for their national jamboree, is a more stimulating sight than one ordinarily expects to see in Washington these days. The camp includes, in addition to lads from homes representing the highest types of American citizenship, delegations from Canada and a number of foreign countries. It is thus typical of the best in a desirable youth movement, free from any attempted political regimentation. It is encouraging to witness a gathering of this sort within the shadow of the Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial. The boys shortly will be citizens and their formative years are being spent under influences which should contribute to a higher type of community and national service. The Scouts boast of traditional principles and standards sorely needed now asnid the disturbing growth ot alien doctrines. Discipline and respect for authority have become old-fashion-
