Representative SCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. A Chicago man received a 14year prison sentence for killing his divorced wife. At that rate he can committ about a halt dozen murders before they get him for life. The town will be decorated for the Fair and Agricultural show and the holiday spirit will prevail. It will be a big week for all and you and your friends will have a good time if you join the crowd on the midway. Three damage suits were filed ’ against W. J. Guilbert of Buffalo, who was alleged to have been guilty of driving “carelessly, negligently and at a dangerous rate of speed.” All that makes the story unusual is that Mr. Guilbert is safety director of the city's chamber of commerce. The Senate will elect its leader today and then dispose of legislation before the body. Chances are definite action will be taken on the Supreme Court reorganization bill and it appears the solons have their minds made up to refer it back to committee or vote it down. In all likelihood this session of congress will not see passage of the bfll and action on the governmental reorganization bill may be postponed until next year. Members of the Indiana Poultry tour will stop over night in Decatur on August 24 and the Chamber of Commerce has volunteered to help obtain rooms here for the guests. The tour will be made up of about 200 persons, of whom more than 100 will stay in Decatur that night. The next day they will visit the Central Soya Bean company and the McMillen Feed Mills and several of the larger poultry farms in the county, the party being directed by County Agent Arch-

You know what quality is, you know what value is ... but you puzzle over what conies between them and price. The "x" in that problem is indirect distribution; lack of control of production. There is no algebra in shopping from the ads in this newspaper. Quality ofiered is a known quantity. It is so plain that you see it. It is so tangible that you keep it Afc»lb,

bold and his committee. It will be a big day, with a banquet In the. evening and the hospitality of the community will be extended in gracious manner. The newspaper profession suf fork in the death of Oliver Owen Kuhn, managing editor of the Washington Star. He was a Hoosier and had progressed steadily up the ladder until recognized as a leading executive. His service began in Richmond, Ind., and included two brief periods in Indianapolis before he went to the nation's capital In 1912. He had been reporter, copy editor, news editor, a war correspondent and special writer. He was recognized as an authority on international affairs and had conducted a radio forum for his paper. Mr. Kuhn was a credit to the profession and a man whose passing will be regretted wherever his active life had touched. — Indianapolis Star. An Indianapolis couple has been arrested for issuing fraudulent checks and those who have read of the case hope they get the maximum penalty for their wrong doing. Through their “rubber” check writing, an innocent woman was convicted and served a 13-month sentence in the Indiana Woman's prison, because of her close facial resemblence to the guilty woman. She was identified as the woman who passed the checks and consequently was convicted. Now authorities have arrested the real criminals and it is hoped that they not only get a heavy sentence, but serve an additional stretch for standing by and seeing an innocent woman go to prison for their crime. The check forgers worked in about every community in the state and it is likely that they were in Decatur a year or two ago, a case similar to the tactics followed by them being committed here. JOBS AND HAPPINESS: First concrete plans for the use of social engineering to keep employment abreast of the changes created by inventions are suggested in an important government document released in Washington yesterday. Industrial engineers employ inventions without a thought of how they'll affect the number of men and women at work. A new gadget on one kind of machine may mean the discharge of thousands of men. The industrial engineer doesn't care what becomes of them —and he shouldn't. The social engineer should think about shifting those thousands of men to other kinds of work. One of our troubles has been 1 that we’ve had little or no social engineering. The National Resources Committee, headed by Secretary Ickes, has submitted to the President an outline of a national policy in technological trends for the next 20 years. It suggests that a federal committee study at once what changes will result from such inventions as: the mechanical cotton picker; air conditioning equipment; plastics; the photo electric ! cell, artificial cotton and woodenlike fibers made from cellulose; synthetic rubber; prefabricated houses; television; the automobile trailer; gasoline produced from coal; steep-flight aircraft and tray agriculture.

[ The committee wisely reminds ! government and industry of the necessity of using inventions and labor to produce more physical goods and services. The country needs more things to eat and to wear, more and better houses, more jobs and wealth—all of these I more widely distributed. In the heat of political and industrial strife let’s not lose sight of that main objective. We can’t have that objective without the co-operaion of government, Indus- * try and labor in the wise practice of social engineering. — Chicago | Times. o — Black and Red Raspberries and Cherries Thursday morning—Bell's Grocery,

O. Amalgamated I Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers confused issues at stake in the strike called Monday affecting some 235 employes. The A.

O. union, formed here in May, also asks a 30 per cent wage increase, a five-day, 40-hour week, and a week’s vacation with pay. Forest McKee, Detroit, president of the company which operates plants in nearly every state and several foreign nations, refused comment, but said he would have a statement of policy to make today.

INDIANA POLICE ON BRADY TRAIL State Police Convinced Gang Committed 1 uesday’s Holdup Indianapolis. July „ Capt Matt Leach of the , mate police and his detective force today pursued the fading the Al Brady gang, convinced hat these elusive outlaws and killet s perpetrated the $4,000 robbery of rtnt National Bank at Center point yesterday. “In all probability those bandits were the Brady outfit,” Leach said as he started a new drive for clues to the gang's whereabouts Admittedly Leach faced a difficult task, since in the ten mouths the Brady gang has been at liberty since they broke out of the Hancock county jail at Greenfield last September they have proved their adeptness at establishing secure hideouts and reaching them safely after crime. A special “Brady squad" of state police and another contingent of federal officers failed to find the Brady trail in the almost two months between the Goodland State Bank robbery in May. attended by the murder of State Policeman Paul Minneman. and the Centerpoint holdup yesterday. The federal agents made their first open appearance in the Brady hunt yesterday when three of them searched the Centerpoint Bank after the robbery for fingerprints which might have been left by the bandits as they lolled in a backroom of the bank drinking whiskey and waiting for the president, William Graeser, to open the doors. They declined to say today whether they had found prints
