The wind does blow and we shall have snow and it's time to be gett- | ing ready for it. Do you realize you only have about sixty days in which to do your Christmas shopping. Those who start early will find many advantages. Keep smiling. This is a great country and if we all get down to business and forget the selfish interests a short time, we will enjoy an era of real prosperity. Governor Landon hasn’t been taking any lesson in elocution and his opinions while of interest to many are not given in a manner i that convinces his hearers. Perhaps we started out the first I of thia year on too fast a gait. Anyway we seem to have caught up and it’s a good thing to stop and consider just where we are going. The foggy weather does more than make those on the road be careful—it keeps the most of us at home. There are no more dangerous conditions for the motorist than foggy nights. The six orphan boys who ran away from a home at Tiffin, Ohio, and were taken in charge here, will have some great stories to tell their comrades now.that they are back safe and sound, after seeing the world. As long as hogs are around ten dollars per hundred and wheat around dollar bushel, there isn’t much to worry about. That’s the base of good times in America and don’t let them fool you that it's any thing else. Advertising is the very life blood of business and the daily newspaper provides the cheapest and the best means of doing that. The most successful merchant!, and business men in America have proven it time and again. Watch for the new safety signs at the various stop crossings and for those which signify you are in a school zone. These are there to aid you in your driving and to provide safety for you and for those who happen to be walking. Friday evening of next week will > provide much pleasure for thousands who will gather here to witness the annual Callithumpian parade. an event that permits you to laugh and yell and enjoy yourself.

the sooner we can get to running smoothly. The milk strike in Indianapolis seems a foolish proceedure but every one is hoping it can soon be adjusted in a satisfactory manner. Nineteen people were killed in Indiana last Sunday in traffic acci- ( dents, a sorry record indeed and to make it worse that’s the second successive Sunday that we have made the same record and led the entire nation. It’s a high mark ■ that no Hoosier cares to boast about and it’s high time we became serious about this grave problem. Joseph Bruce Ismay died in London thia week, the announcement i bringing back to many the memories of twenty-five years ago when he was a passenger on the illfated Titanic which was making its initial voyage to this country when it struck an iceberg. 1.517 people lost their lives but Ismay, owner of the line, was among those rescued. He was accused of Selz I ing a life boat and pushing off I while women and childrefi lined ■ the deck. He was so condemned! that he never appeared at any public function and was forced to live as a recluse. He probably wished many times that he had followed I the rule of the sea and stuck to the ship. - The stock market has been crashing this week which is not as alarming as you might be led to believe. It is a usual proceedure. caused by operators who take advantage of any circumstance or world event to cause a flurry so \ they can either buy or sell. In other words it's the greatest gambling game in the world. Those who fear a depression similar to that of 1929 have only to remember that the real troubles came when the banks and business concerns ‘ began to fail. This cannot and will not happen now and the only heavy losers will be those who buy on margins or who are forced | to sell their holdings to get out from under. The fruit farmers were distressed. They had apples, but there was no market. They had grown them, but, unfortunately, the people who might need them and want them and eat them, had no money. They are the families on relief, the families who want, the families in need. But the apples would rot upon the trees or be fed to hogs. The Federal Surplus Commodity Corporation sounds imposing. But it is a real thing to the apple, growers of the state. Designed to buy surplus crops, it distributes them among those unable to buy. It is working now in Indiana. A committee was named by the lieutenant governor, a committee of apple growers who know the situation. They will buy that part of the crop which is unsaleable, because of lack of funds of people, who wish to consume it and who need it. To the apple growers of this state, they are a godsend. To the people in need they are more than that. Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed oa Page Two 1. Minnesota. 2. Phi Beta Kappa. 3. Falls. < i. November. 5.

LABORHOLIDAY LATEST THREAT Indianapolis Threatened By General Walkout ' By Labor Indianapolis, Oct. 20. — <U.R) —,, Harry Peats, teamsters' and chauffeurs' union secretary, said today his organization may ask other American Federation of Labor affiliates to join in a city-wide "labor i holiday" if negotiations in strikes 1 "fail to get somewhere this week.” J "We're tired of endless dicker-, ing—if we don't get to terms short-’ ly we ll show them what organized 1 labor really can do," Peats said, j The teamsters and chauffeurs union is conducting strikes among : furniture store truck drivers, helpers and loaders and Beech Grove i bus line drivers and is attending to negotiate contracts with whole- i sale grocery firms. Peats said approximately 60,000 workers in various crafts might be asked to poin the "holiday.” The city's troubled labor picture' became worse today after approxi; mately 100 members of the auto| mechanics and garage workers union went on strike at eight garages. H. T Hamilton, Washington, grand lodge representative of the International Association of Mechanics. said the strike was called by the union following refusal of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association to confer with union leaders on working conditions. He said if the strike spreads 1,noo workers will be involved in the walkouts. Non-union drivers continued to operate Beech Grove busses after failure of negotiations between the teamsters and chauffeurs union and the company in demand for a clos-: ed shop agreement and wage increases. Ask Investigation Indianapolis, Oct. 20. — (U.R) Union officials said today they will ask a state investigation of milk' distribution practices in the Mar-; ion county area which for 12 days' was locked In a stormy labor con-' troversy. Milk deliveries were resumed in the county yesterday by all but two dairies. Suspended by the Indianapolis council following strikes at thre dairies, they were resumed on orders of Leon C. Collar, Marion county milk administrator. Thomas L- Hughes, general secretary and treasurer of the teamsters iind chauffeurs union, said he would ask for the distribution investigation on the basis of evidence which he said he was collecting. showing that distributors in some cases have been accepting less than the legal 11 and 12 ceuts a quart for milk. Hughes said some distributors have been accepting as little as 8 cents a quart. He charged it was

discriminatory to consumers paying the legal price and that the practice was cne reaso nwages arc ! not higher in the industry. Meanwhile, a strike continued at the Banquet Ice Cream company Where drivers walked out of the j plant when milk deliveries were | resumed. C. Winfield Hunt, sec-j I retary of the Indianapolis milk; council, said only 29 of the 117 em- , n'oyes at the plant are on strike. I —° - ♦ < Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ; Q.

TUBERCULOSIS BATTLE URGED Gov. Townsend Urges Public Aid In Fight On Tuberculosis Vincennes. Ind., Oct. 20,—(Spec ial) — Governor M. Clifford Townsend this afternoon urged the co operation of the public in the fight i against tuberculosis. He spoke at the dedication of the Knox county tuberculosis sanitarium, which was recently opened and has a capacity of 60 beds. Reviewing the campaign against the disease. Governor Townsend said, "In 1910 the tuberculosis death rate In Indiana was 174 pet--100,000 persons. Between 1910 and 1920. the period which marks the first decade of tuberculosis work in Indiana, the rate fell from 174! to 107. Between 1920 and 1936.* the rate fell to 49. "From a purely practical point' of view, statistics will show that; persons who recover from tuberculosis and are restored to econ- * omic Independence contribute to j the economic wealth of the community more than was spent in effecting a cure. "Many consider tuberculosis as the most important cause of death inasmuch as it affects the age period of greatest economic importance. Serious tuberculosis usually begins at 15 and upward. An age analysis ot several thousand ■ sanitarium patients shows that 13 per cent were under 21; 33 per cent under 26; 51 per cent under 31. and 63 per cent under 36. "Tuberculosis takes from society’ wage-earners who are forced to | work in dusty, confining surround ings. Tuberculosis attacks young' women who become physically ’ weakened either through diet or| too arduous work. It is a thief > which takes advantage of our own |
