Delaware county leads the state tor divorces with a little over five to each 1,000 population. They do pick out the darndest things to exeel in over there. Toledo’s city manager acted wisely in refusing to permit a parade of the Ku Klux Klan. Surely no one wants to go through another era of that kind of business.

You are either for President Roosevelt and his plans to make (his a greater democracy or you are for the old guard and against him. You can’t be both, so you may as well make up your mind. Boys who destroy property as a part of their fun program as Hallow een approaches should be told that they are doing wrong and that it is just as much a crime for them as it is for the bandit or other violator. ~ Crime doesn’t pay, especially when they go so far as to get Mr. Hoover and his G-men on the trail. The Brady gang dodged them a year and a half but finally came to the Joint where they had to shoot it But and of course, got the worst Os it. President Roosevelt tells his story to the nation and thus keeps constant touch with them. The hews from Washington is usually colored to suit the opinion of the Writer and it’s fine to hear from the chief executive himself as to rhe what and why of hts plans. Ogden Mills believed in the old 1 reactionary methods of government, which will never again have the power they had during the days of Coolidge and Hoover, but Mills , was sincere and the nation loses 1 one who was able to present his, argument with force, which is al-I ( ways a good thing in any govern- 1 me nt. < Early Halloween pranksters , picket! tip a thousand pound roller belonging to au Allen county farm-

Several groups of church work- - ers have petitioned the state board J of agriculture not to hold a fair on E, Sundays, stating that it distracts J attention and keeps people away j from church services. It would ) be interesting to know just how many of those who attend the state fair on Sunday are kept from church. Why can’t they attend both, especially since the program designed for the Sabbath is religious and educational? E A man named Studeny was ’ caught at Ligonier with 215 gallons of alcohol in his car. He was • fined three hundred dollars and ; sent to the penal farm for sixty . days, disclosing a desire of officials in that territory to teach law violators a lesson. The man steadfastly refused to disclose where he got the stuff or what his racket was but evidently there is some kind of bootlegging game going on and it ought to be broken up rapidly before it gets a good start again. The Duke of Windsor is visiting in Germany and his welcome among the laboring people, his ability to mingle and eat biack bread with the workers, probably tells more than any thing yet published. why it was desired to get him out of power in England where they still believe in classes. He wants to help the under nourished and he is studying the subject earnestly. He will visit this nation and it is not improbable that some day he will return to cause more of a storm in England tliar he possibly could have done as kmg. According to the report from Don Stiver, director of the department of safety for Indiana, there were 3.595 automobile crashes in the state during the month of August and less than half of these reported to the police. That’s a serious violation of law and becoming more serious each mouth as the list grows. Failure to cooperate in the battle against accidents is punishable by revocation of driver s licenses and a fine of SIOO and the department plans to enforce this law. If you are in an k accident, regardless of whether you are to blame or not, you should report to the police and fill out one of the blanks to be sent to the state department. When you examine 700 highway accidents and find that 525 of them occurred on straightaway stretches and on’y 125 at admit! edly dangerous curves, you do not have to go far to find the only possible explanation, which is excessive speed. Barring a few plain lunatics, the very great majority oi drivers take such hazards as bad curves, hill crests, etc., with a certain degree of caution. But the wideopen modern road, prob erly surfaced, marked and banked, is too much of a temptation for a multitude of people who are in too much of a hurry even to think That is why the majority of accidents happen where there is least excuse for them. —Montreal Star. o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File October 13. 1917. — White Sox win the fifth game in world series, making it 3 to 2.

EFFICIENT HELP TO SAVE FUNDS Gottschalk Points To Saving Os Funds Through Competent Help Indianapolis, Ind., October 13 — (Special) Millions of dollars will be saved the federal state and county governments in the next twelve months rm public assistance payments to dependent children, the Hind and the aged as a result of competent investigation. Thurman A Gottschalk, state administrator of public welfare, said today. Staffs of county welfare departments throughout Indiana were established this month on the merit system, with the state paying half the salary expense of all visitors, visitor's aids, supervisors and child welfare workers. Likewise!, by rules <of the state department of public welfare, the case load for visitors, or investigators in counties, were limited to 200 per visitor on the aged and the blind and 76 per visitor on children's cases. In the past year, 24.000 children have become eligible for aid for ' dependent children. Ninety per cent of these have come off the relief »-*les or other forms of public assistance. Eleven thousand formerly were on township relief; 5.000 were supported by parents having WPA jobs and 4,000 formerly received ' county aid through the mother's' ; aid law. By the middle of 1938, the public j assistance rolls of the aged, now j standing at 40,372 will have grown to 65.000 persons, due to the drop in the age limit from 70 te 65 on July 1, 1938. This means. Mr. Gottschalk pointed out, that withing the next year, i county welfare visitors, all of whom I now meet minimum standards as to education and experience, will be I busy with checking and verifying ' i some 20,000 children's’ cases and at least 25,000 more aged cases to make sure that the monthly feder-al-state-county checks are not being paid t* Last year, coun-1 Ity welfare workers caused 6,0001 cases to be stricken from the age I assistance rolls because of ineli- j gibility. and deterred the awarding lof grants to 12,000 more ineligible applicants. This work of competent investigators alone saves the state, i county and federal governments at 1 least $4,000,000 a year on payments I in Indiana. While Uie number of investlga'tors throughout the state h.xs been increased for the coming year, Mr. ! Gottschalk said, the total cost of their salaries to the counties had been actually decreased, since the state is refunding one-half the salaries of all employed under the merit system. “Employment of o-. mpetent invesjtigators is a good investment” Mr. Gottschalk said, “when we consider that we will be paying out $1,500,- , 000 monthly to 73,000 public assistance recipients. For years we have demanded in Indiana that public school teachers meet minimum quaI lifications. Welfare workers also dealing with children and families should be as well-trained as teachers.” . o LABOR UNIONS ■ VEp FWM raokuttg) that “there has developed a lack sion.’ aid that “the press is in I of harmony within the commissome instances the first source of information to some members of the commission as to certain important activities being carried . on." ; A memorandum which Lewis I said he submitted to the commission secretary, asserted that “in one instance one commissioner has ; at least 11 officers assigned to him , for personal supervision.” He pointed out that “this, very Mosley Injured L V ... w Struck in the temple by a rock i during a riot precipitated when he tried to address a Liverpool crowd.
