All the Democrats and half the Republicans are convinced that neither Mr. Hoover nor Mr Landon can lead the G. O. I’. to victqry, ’but who else are they going to get and what can they do when they find him? It's a tough proposition. Indiana has over a million licensed automobiles and lhey are skimming over the best roads of any State in the Union. Os course that's not news to the millions of pedestrians who have to dodgd them as they cross the streets or travel the highways. Charley Dawes, once a leader in the Republican party and for years considered one of the outstanding business men of the mid-west, is not frightened about the future. ; He has issued one of the most opti- t mistic statements as to business prospects we have read. Talking to a man from a city , of 12,000 in northern Indiana to-‘ day. we were informed that only one new residence had been built I there in the past two years. He 1 marveled at the number of improve- ] ments going on here and declared 1 this the best small city of the i middle west. j _ 1 New .margin rules promulgated ( by the federal reserve started a ( rush of stock buying on the stock ( market that probably wont be . headed off for some time. It per-1 ] mits the purchase of stock on a ] 40% basis instead of 55% which ( makes a lot of difference to the professionals-

And we are going to start paying our off. — ' » Fans who follow the Chicago < übs will get a kick out of the fact that Tony Lazzeri. for twelve years a New York Yankee and who in the recent world series hit over' 100%. will be a player-coach with CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

It s a tough job to bring hari rnony among a bunch of political workers who don't think alike and the Indiana G. O. P. has found i : that out the past year and the fact , ' that a half dozen leading workers | I feel they should be selected as the 1 big chief, hasn’t made it any easier. Time will tell whether it has been successfully worked out or uot. Kansas City doesn't want to lose' the Ford plant and Mr. McElroy. l the manager of that prosperous p I city made a personal plea to Henry, Ford to reopen it. The factory was closed about two weeks ago when a strike was called and pickets marched about the property. The strike of course is uot popular with the average citizen who wants to I see his city move along smoothly, j Disposing of the leaves in a shady city like Decatur is always a problem and we are right in the thick of it now. Ralph Roop, civil • works commissioner, calls attention to the fact that burning leaves on the black top or asphalt streets’ is very injurious and even on brick streets, the tire should be far enough away from the curb so that it will not be damaged by the heat. Ground was broken yesterday! on the new building and additions at the General Electric plant in this city and the work will be rushed right along to completion which should be about the first of the 1 year. It will give room for an ad- ' ditional two or three hundred cm- , ployes over the peak of a mouth ago and is indicative too that the' ' company is pl«*ased with conditions and results in the Decatur branch. If you have advertising problems we would like to help solve them We feel sure that there can he no method for you to reach the public as well and as cheap us you can by using the columns of the . Daily Democrat, using such space 1 as you feel should be used to make i' your display and using such space ’ frequently. That will increase your ' business at a profit and of course will aid us in publishing a news ( paper of which the community will | be proud. Let's work together. == Jjm Dalhover has been indicted ' by a federal grand jury at South t Bend for the murder of Policeman 1 Minneman of the state force but i. he may be tried at Indianapolis for the murder of Officer Rivers. The : federal grand jury decided not to ( take any chances on this member i of the Brady gang and so returned the indictment. If he escapes at one place he will have to face the | other. Society has no use for a' boasting bandit and there should be no delay in giving this confessed member the limit of the law. i Mrs. Faye Smith-Knapp has been 1 re-elected as president of the Adams County Woman s Democratic ! Club with Mrs. Thomas Rhodes of 1 Geneva. vice-president; Mrs. O. M. Smith of Berne, treasurer, and j Miss Rose Nesswald of this city, secretary. These ladies served the past year with much credit and will continue to make this an interesting part of the county's political organization. Every woman , interested in politics and favoring ’ the Democratic party, should be a member of the ciub. Wc arc sure : each would enjoy it. The year's' activities will open with a banquet at Berne on Tuesday evening, November 30th-

SYNOPSIS Don Ames, publicity agent for Bloom-of-Youth Cosmetics, goes to Carterton. Louisiana, to tell lovely Lucy Lee Carter that her photograph has won first prize of one thousand dollars in the nationwide beauty contest sponsored by Ames’ firm. Finding the original as beautiful as the photograph, Don at once proposes that Bloom-of-Youth back Lucy Lee as its entrant in the International Beautyquest soon to be held in Atlantic City. Pearl Carter, ambitious and comparatively young second wife of ineffectual Wakefield Carter, at last persuades her husband that fame and fortune await them all through Lucy Lee. The girl herself, bewildered by the sudden turn of events, shrinks from leaving Rosemead, her home, and Clyde Dixon, her childhood sweetheart. But she consents in order to send her young brother, Juddy, to school and to help her father. As the whole family goes aboard the boat at New Orleans, bound for New York, Lucy Lee gets her first taste of the staring crowds and flashing cameras that are to mark her career as a beauty queen. And, as the steamer enters New York Harbor, her peaceful life in Carterton seems a thousand years in the past. Don Ames meets them with more news photographers and the usual New York ballyhoo reception. That same afternoon they go on to Atlantic City. The following morning in the hotel grill Ames meets Neville Preston, stage and screen idol, whom he has known for years. CHAPTER IX Ames gave his order to the hovering waiter and lit a cigarette. “What are you doing here on this coast? Thought you were saving Hollywood and the talkies from the dogs." “Don’t you ever read the papers?” Preston replied. “But I forgot. I suppose you can’t make out words above’ one syllable, even yet. Here. Try to decipher this.” He handed the newspaper over, long si' ier finger pointing to a certain it-«i. Ames glanced at it with a groan. “Drusilla’s column! Have mercy, . man. Don’t ask me to read that i drivel before breakfast.” He shuddered extravagantly. “What's the fair Drusilla raving about now?” His practiced eye went swiftly down the column. “A little birdie tells us that handsome Neville Preston is about to fulfill a long cherished desire and join the ranks of famous actors who have become megaphone wielders. We understand he has just signed a contract with Supreme Pictures to direct, at a salary running into I breathtaking figures. Os course we’re glad that dear Neville is get--1 ting what he wants. “But what about the millions of I feminine fans who think he is a combination of Greek god and perfect lover? Who will set their hearts awhirl as our incomparable Neville has done?" Ames laid the paper back on the table. “So that’s the dope. “Well, all I say is, God help the movies if you’re gonna start directing! What’s the big idea?” “Ever since I went out to Hollywood I’ve had a yen to wield the megaphone, as Drusilla says. Besides, after acting for nearly twenty years I’m a bit fed up.” “Sure, f don’t blame you." It was a good line, anyway. The truth probably was that Neville was be - 1 ginning to slip. He must be forty.

There were too many handsome young fellows of twenty-five crowding along, for him to expect indefinite popularity as an actor. While as a director, if he made good, he could last ten, maybe fifteen years longer, thought Ames. “So you’ve pulled a fast one on the boys at Supreme. Congratulations, old man. What’s your first picture?” “I don’t know yet. I came down from New York for a few days’ rest before going back to the Coast and brought a pile of scripts with me, hoping to turn up a story I like

among them. But you know how that goes. Finding even a passably fair picture story is harder than discovering snowballs in hell!” The publicity man nodded. “I know. They say the California asylums are full of directors in straight jackets—looking for good stories! When did you come down?” “Yesterday." “Who’s with you?" “Nobody.” “What? You don't expect me to believe you’re traveling alone these days? What’s become of her?” Preston gave him a hard glance. “Who?” “How should I know,” Ames jibed. “Whoever happens to be the lady of the moment, of course.” “I’m through with women." Ames chuckled. "And what a laugh that is! You won’t be through with them until you're ninety—and then I’d hate to trust the trained, nurse in your room too long." “No, I’m absolutely serious, Ames. Believe it or not.” He paused, examined the tip of his cigarette with interest. “And yet—last night I had a rather extraordinary adventure.” “Hah!" exclaimed the publicity man. "Having just sworn off women —you would. Blonde ... brunette ... or readhead?” “It wasn't that kind of an adventure.” ‘ 0b... ssP Ames drawled. “Listen. Ames.” Preston leaned forward, his tone earnest. “On the
