The bus was hit in the middle, split in two parts and thrown down ,an embankment. Wreckage was scattered several hundred feet along the right-of-way. The train, en route from Chicago to Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, was running behind schedule because of a snow storm in northern Indiana. The locomotive was disabled. Luther Teague, of Anderson, believed to be the oniy eye witness ito the accident, drove up to the crossing just Irefore the crash. "The bus and two other autos were ahead of us. As we approached the crossing I looked over my shoulder and saw' the train coming." Teague said. I "The bus came to a dead stop at the tracks. The other two cars then pulled out of the line of traf- ( sic and crossed the tracks ahead of the bus, the last car barely got across. "The bus started to follow the second car.

Jan. 10— Both the | Indiana unemployment compensa- i tion law and the federal social sec-1 urity act prevent advancement of the date for payment of unemploy- ; ment benefits in Indiana to any time prior to April of 1938, Clarence I A. Jackson, director of the state unemployment compensation Division. said today. Mr. Jackson said he had been ad- ■ vised that a few organized groups ; had made suggestions that, In view j of the current condition of employ- ! ment, first benefit payments under the state program be paid in January instead of in April, as is now ! provided. The state unemployment ' compensation board has no author- ; ity to make such a change, he said. ] o Baser Metal Lures Gold Miner I Tra'ia.

CASES BEFORE STATE BOARD New Occupational Disease Law Cases Awaiting Decision Indianapolis, Jan 10-The first four cases under the new occupa tfonal disease law have been heard and await a decision by the Indus trial board, it a M Snouffer, board chairman, said today. The law was enacted hy the 1937 general assembly to provide com peusation for Industrial disease a sucn as skin and lung afflictions. Unlike the workmen’s compensation law, employers under the occupational disease law must petition the Industrial board to come , under the law. The industrial hoard is then appealed to when the w'orker and the employer cannot | come to an agreement on the amount of compensation. The law provides compensation of 55 per cent of the average week ly wage for the period of disability, if the amount is not more than 15000 or the time not in excess of 500 weeks. The first four workers to come i before the industrial board under. the occupational disease law were allegedly victims of silicosis, a I lung disease contracted front in- 1 haling sand dust. Employers coming under the law | must provide for payment by a- - written by companies authorized in Indiana or show they are able to pay compensation. o — - Evangelistic Campaign Continues At Berne The second week of the union evangelistic campaign at the Berne i .Mennonite church will open to-1 night.

■ ■■■ ■ ■■ 11.1 ■■■ ■ ■■■ ' ■■ I am an Advertising Man For over thirty years I have been writing advertisements for national advertisers — shoes, soap, cereals, automobiles, radios, tobacco, blankets, tooth-powder. To me it is the most fascinating work in the worldlearning about the merits of merchandise and then telling people about them—bringing greater comfort, and enjoyment, into people’s lives—introducing people to new pleasures, helping them to get the most for their money. Besides being fascinating, it is satisfying. My intimate experience with advertisers has shown me that, except for rare exceptions, the manufacturers and merchants of this nation lean over backwards to be sincere and honest. The law of advertising is simple once one understands its working — the more people know about the merit of a product, the more people buy it. The greater the volume of sales, the less the cost to manufacture. Savings in making mean either lower prices to the consumer or greater value put back into the merchandise. As an advertising man 1 can sincerely affirm that it pays to read the advertisements in the newspapers—for news of new things, for news of bargains and savings. There are thousands of other men — and women — devoting their lives to advertising writing, who will tell you the same thing. They Know!

COUNTY BIRTH RATE ADEQUATE Adams County’s Birth Rate Is Reported Above Average (Special to Democrat) Washington, D. C., Jan. 10 — Adams county, Indiana, is producing enough babies to escape for many years the danger of declining population that threatens many parts of the country as a result of falllug birth rates, the national resources committee reported today in a study of future population trends. The committee’s report, based on most recent census figures, found that the county’s birth rate 1 is adequate not only to maintain the present population but to increase it. The government experts esti- | mated that to maintain the Indiana ; population, there must be 446 children for every thousand women between the ages of 20 and 44. Adams comity, they found, is more than doing Its share with 591 babies per thousand potential mothers. The state of Indiana as a whole, they found, is averaging 481 per 1000. keeping well above replacement requirements. Taking into account statistical i studies from many angles, the committee predicted that the population of the country will become stationary at 150.000.000 in 1980. The calculations are made for 5i year-old children and thus take into account the shrinking birth rate [and the reduction of infant mortal-! ity This study also takes into I account an estimated increase in | life expectancy from 62 to 67 years ■ in calculating the forecast. o DU PONT TELLS I tC-'ONTTNVED Olg), whether he was hitting at the j southern democratic blocs which have junked his wage and hours, i bill in the house and are filibustering the anti-lynching bill.

Members of the southeast governora conference meeting here endorsed wage-hours legislation in principle and elected Rep Lister Hill. D. to the senate although he supported wage and hours legislation and was opposed by a candidate who denounced it. The president's Jackson Day insistence that he was warring not upon all business but only upon a recalcitrant minority and statements of his aides that bigness in itself was not under new deal attack aroused speculation as to the identity of individuals or corporations from whom the administration expects a showdown fight. Mr. Roosevelt uniformly has avoided names in discussing new deal objections to big business practises. o- - —— Traffic Peril Proved Petaluma. Cal.

A Three Days’ Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial Irritation, you can ! get relief now with Creomulslon. . Serious trouble may be brewing and j’ou cannot afford to take a chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids nature to soothe and heal the inflamed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
