He will be 11 Bruce Barton, famous advertising ? specialist, who ought to be able to t get a lot of new ideas for his dis- ' plays by listening to and watching f the representatives in congress. t ■ The recent elections so far as i we "we can read them do not c change the general feelings of the j people of the nation. Mr. Roose- % velt is still popular and has the ' confidence of a great majority in s his battle to give the middle class ■ a chance to improve their condi- j tion. Advertising is the life blood of business. The merchant who thinks j he can get along without it is sim- ; ply giving his competitor the best ] of the trade argument. Use plenty | of printer's ink and you will in- ; crease your business in accord- j ance with the amount and the eff- 1 ort you give it. i " I Milch damage was done in and ( near Indianapolis during the Hall- , oween season by men and boys. ( according to report. One bunch ( went to a country cemetery and . took a good sized monument, which | they conveyed to the porch of a . city residence. Can you imagine a , worse case of rowdyism? I It was twenty years ago yesterI day that Private Gresham of Ev- « ansville, Indiana was killed in a world war battle in France, first ( casualty for any American soldier in the great conflict. He fought to I end war and gave his life. If he were alive now he would feel the sacrifices made then were of little ' i avail. Get out your coonskin coat and plan to see one of the big football games next Saturday if you want a real thrill. You will enjoy the crowd, the enthusiasm of youth and the exciting features of the game. Among the good ones will be the Ohio State vs Indiana at Columbus and Pittsburgh vs Notre Dante at South Bend. You will get your moneys worth at either place. A tough break for high school football were the injuries received by an Auburn football player last Saturday from which he died yesterday. An injury to the abdomen proved so serious that the lad never recovered, though he was able ’ to walk from the field. While such accidents are infrequent, they do occur occasionally in this g ttne i which takes all the strength and energy of the players. — Albert E. Thomas, Fort Wayne attorney and civic leader, who had . many friends here, died Tuesday , as the result of a heart attack and there is Sorrow among those in

northeastern Indiana who recog-1 nixed him as a forceful, fearless and fighting citizen ot the highest type. He was active for many years in various organizations and was considered one of the ablest: lawyers of the state. Mayor LaGuardia has done the impossible in winning over Tammany twice in succession but it doesn’t mean as much politically as many would like it to. latGuardia is a free lance Republican, a supporter of President Roose-j velt and more of a radical than most men in other parties. He cer-i tainly will never be the choice of the old guard Republicans or the Liberty League Democrats. It would take a good guesser to pick a boy from Lake county to win the Indiana junior corn husking contest, but Jerome Echterling of the Lowell high school perform-. ed that feat this week. When we think of Lake county we associate it with steel mills and sand dunes and the victory of this sev-enteenyear-old lad therefore stands i out more than if he had hailed from Adams or Tipton or Howard or any of the other counties noted for raising good corn. Tax payers who fear they will be assessed heavily to repay the SIIO,OOO gxant from the government may be assured that this is a | gift pure and simple and never has I to be repaid. That is one big advantage in building at this time, for it is doubtful if such an opportunity ever comes again, and thousands of communities over the land would gladly accept the grant. Decatur has been favored and will be just that much ahead of the city which did not receive such a grant. ] This gives us the opportunity to secure a $245,000 building for $135,000 and the civil city will pay $50,000 of that. There were not many surprises in Tuesday’s elections. Whether it was a test between Republicans and Democrats, the latter won. LaGuardia, whose politics are dis- j flcult’to figure, but who has given New York City four years of ad ministration that seems to have pleased, won easily over his Tammany opponent, Mahoney. In Detroit, Richard Reading gave Pat- 1 rick O’Brien a two-to-one trimming in a campaign that hinged largely on labor issues, but the Democrats elected governors in New Jersey and Virginia, a mayor in Pittsburgh and elected two candidates in President Roosevelt's Hyde Park village, a Republican stronghold. There was no indication of any antl-Roosevelt sentiment that can be utilized in next year’s struggle. CURING ACCIDENT REPEATERS Automobile accident repeaters can be cured. That is the gist of an article in Public Safety, by Edward L. Yardan, describing the results of a corrective system applied last year by the registrar of motor . vehicles in Massachusetts to 500 drivers selected as possessing the worst accident records in the commonwealth. Every one ot these drivers had I been involved in a number of accidents. One man had injured several pedestrians by striking them with the right side of his cat. Tests disclosed a weakness in his right j eye, which was corrected with glasses. Another driver had had his car rammed three times from the rear. Tests showed his brake j reaction to be exceptionally fast and he was advised to watch out for the car in the rear when making sudden stops. So it went with I all 500. At the end of the test instruction period, the 500 accident repeaters were allowed to drive a-, gain. Eight months later the registrar assembled their records. The ■ 500 had driven an aggregate of more than 3,250,000 miles in that period. Not one of them had become involved in a serious acaident. Only three of them had had any accidents at all. Enforced education can cure a
