Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times.

The 18 Russians who were ord-j ered shot no doubt wonder why they were given a semblance of a trial. We can imagine more popular inventions than the see-through I telephones. Imagine the wife look- j ing at you when you tell her that j you are busy at the office and can t get home. It is estimated that 175.000 used cars, with an aggregate value of around fifty million dollars were sold during used car week. When you get public attention focused on an article through advertising, it is bound to move. We need more schools. Fort Wayne police figured in a collision while carrying three injured patients to a hospital. The safe way for fire trucks and ambulances is to observe the red and green lights at crossings and avoid accidents. Lou Gehrig will be able to keep the wolf from the door the next year. He has accepted a salary of $39,000 as first baseman for the Yankees, which figured at four percent represents an investment just a thousand dollars less than a“million. City government is close to the people. Functions of municipal government concern the people right at home and improvements, taxes and service in which they are interested a lot of times touch your own doorstep. Working in cooperation with city officials in a program of benefit to all, is the way to accomplish gooa results. Have you driven by the General Electric plant recently when the new addition at the northeast corner was lighted? The big twostory structure appears like a hangar and is an annex to one of the most modern manufacturing plants in the state. The unloading equipment has been installed and the advantages of having modern machinery to aid workmen will further increase the efficiency of the plant. Indianapolis is going to try to trap the pigeons and starlings which inhabit Monument Circle and the uptown district. Civilians, church pastors aud superintendents of buildings have appealed to the authorities to clear the district of the birds. It is planned to trap the pigeons aud send them to persons who have asked for them. If they are homing birds, most of them will be back at the old roost in a short time.

Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer of his day, is dead at the age of 80. Mr. Darrow was a brainy man aud his talents were something to match in the court room. He was not always right, but he fought like a tiger and with sincerity. He generally took the "underdog's" side and his court victories were numerous. He saved

the two Chicago boys, Lgteb and Leopold from the chair, with his argument against capital punahment. While England was beset with trouble in parliament and changing to a new premier and France hud cabinet upsets, Hitler used th< moment to march his soldiers tc Austria and annex the country Press reports received in this country tire no doubt censored, for they i indicate that a majority of the Austrians favor becomifig part of ■ the German nation. We doubt this It appears that new war lines are I being drawn anii if Hitler s am- j bitiou for more country should i take him to Czechoslovakia or l Yugoslavia, the world may see an-! other terrible conflict. In the. meantime France, may be prepar- . ing to take back some of the terri- i tory now held by Hitler, which was given the French as a result of the world war. The acquiring by the First State Bank of the Old Adams County Bank building is a mark of progress and community expansion, j This well known financial institution, which has been growing and building up financial reserves in the past several years, deserves a larger aud more modern home. The building formerly occupied by the j ! Old Adams County Bank provides j these facilities. The building will j I not only provide a convenient working room for bank employes, but will better accommodate the many customers of the First State Bank. Under the able leadership and presidency of Theodore Graliker, this institution, which will celebrate its 55th anniversary i next August, has risen to a place of wide influence and worth in our community. It has aided in the development in the city and its steady growth is denoted in the increase of deposits. We concongratulate the directors of the bank on their decision to move into larger and more convenient quartbespeak continued prosperity and growth for the institution. It is interesting to compare the extent of the business recession in recent months with that of the expansion that preceded it, particularly in view of the statements that are frequently made to the effect that the progress made in the last five years has been wiped out. Statements of this kind are exaggerated and when underlying conditions are taken into account, it appears ihat the present situation is iu no way comparable with that of 1932 aud 1933. For instance the business index of the Guaranty Trust Conip-ta; "ose from 51.7 to 99.3 during the four years ended March, 1937, showing an aggregate advance of 47.6 points. From March, 1937, to January. 1938, it declined 28.9 points, losing about 61 percent of the preceding gain. The recent recession, therefore, while serious enough, has been far from sufficient to bring general activity down to a point approximating the low level of the depression. And everyone knows that the improvement in the financial situation is even more striking. These considerations, of course, do not alter the fact that the recovery movement has suffered a pronounced setback. The recession was one of the most rapid in history. Nevertheless, a dispassionate examination of the facts show that, unless the reaction proceeds much further than it has, the American people need not reproach themselves with a total lack of progress in their struggle toward economic recovery. — New Castle Courier-Times. o ■

Unemployment Law In State Is Exh J

(Editor's Note: This is the fifth of a aeries of aix articles explaining the Indiana Unemployment Compensation law. under which benefits will be payuble'to eligible persons becoming unemployed after April 1.) PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Benefits under the Indiana unemployment compensation law are paid not on-'y when an eligible employee is totally unemployed but also for partial unemployment; that is, when the employee has not lost ills job with his regular employer but he is earning less than his weekly 'benefit amount. In other words, benefits are paid to employees who keep on working but who earn less than they would receive in benefits if they were’tota'ly unemployed. Benefits for partial unemploy ment are equal to the difference between the employee's weekly benefits amount and the amount of his weekly earnings. This provision makes it possible for the employe? to retain his job without being deprived of certain minimum income per week. The waiting period to qualify for partial unemployment benefits will usually be four weeks for partial unemployment. However, the waiting period may also be served in either of the other two ways outlln?d in the fourth article of this ser- ■ ies.
