Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every-! where, at any and al! times. The TVA struggle reminds us of those Morgan boys. it will be alright if the weather cools off a bit to give some of us the chance to look over the spring wardrobe. Those who aren't interested in garden making this kind of weather. will have to agree that-the same brand would be swell for the Kentucky Derby. Fort Wayne had a big fire yesterday, a lumber yard and a half dozen houses being consumed. No matter how well a city is equipped with tire fighting equipment and water supply, once the flames get started it is difficult to control them. No lives were lost, so the job will be to clean up and rebuild. The improvement of Park street, north of the City Plant grounds, will not only present a better appearance, but will increase the convenience of the street for those who drive to the city swimming pool. The street is being widened and the extension will permit the parking of cars along the entire length, from Third to Fifth streets. The political races arc warming up and candidates are preparing for the home stretch after the first of the month. Keep the campaign i clean, void of personal attacks, if you have an argument why you should be elected, sell yourself to the voter, rather than knocking the other guy. The voter generally sizes up the situation to his own | satisfaction and votes accordingly. Indiana University will continue to grow and hold its place in the educational field under the active presidency of Dr. Herman B. Wells, who was named head of the institution of learning yesterday. Dr. Wells is an educator, financial authority and economist of first rank. He is only 36 years of age and since Dr. William Lowe Bryans resignation, has been acting as president of I. U. His appointment assures the continued high standing of the state university and its opportunity for real service in building manhood and womanhood for the country. We congratulate Indiana, and also Mr. Wells. William Randolph Hearst at the age of 74 is going to quit active management of his various newspaper and magazine properties. For several years, the journalist has been beset with financial difficulties and although he is worth millions, he has his liabilities and troubles. His sons may be able to carry on and reestablish the dynasty, so powerful 20 years ago. His vast holdings may be liquidated to some extent, which might clear'the sky for him and make it easier for bis sons and associates to get his business out of the red. Hearst has several large money makers in the publishing field and

he also has a few pet hobbies which drain the good ones. It's time to think of the cleanup campaign. Why not do it with more zest mid effectiveness thun ( ever before? Piaui could be made now and executed during the latter ' I part of April or first of Muy and ' every unsightly spot in town dean- 1 ed up. The city street department, as has been the custom, will co- ’ operate in every way and with the > j support of civic and service clubs' ’ and public-spirited citizens, a cam- ■ paign could be put on which would l make the dirt fly. Old eye sores. , 1 unsightly structures and tire traps I could be removed. The alleys . could be cleaned of rubbish, ashes j and tin cans hauled away, old signs and billboards removed and the I town put in proper dress. Such a campaign requires the hearty cooperation of everyone. Decatur has that spirit and if started now, | the effectiveness of Clean up week , will have far reaching and satis-' factory effects. Let's get rid of I the winter’s toll of dirt and trash. THE AMERICAN LIVING STANDARD: Gerald Swope, president of Gen oral Electric Company, after a trip to European countries, contributed j an article to the Atlantic Monthly, in which he gave an analysis of living conditions in eight coun- 1 tries he visited, compared to those ' in the United States. Mr. Swope used as a yardstick j this very simple and practical question: “How long must an Am-, erican work to earn the necessities and comforts of life and how long must the European worker toil to , acquire the same benefits?’’ And here is what he found in his answers: A European works from 4.6 to 7.3 hours to earn enough money | to purchase a basket of five staple foods. An American works 1.7 hours. It takes from 8.5 to 24 months , of work in European countries, to I earn money enough to buy an automobile. In America it takes only 4.5 months. It requires from 2.4 to 6.3 months I of work in Europe to buy an electric refrigerator, and only one j month of work in the United States, i In European nations 1.2 to 3.4, hours oPlabor are required to earn the price of an incandescent lamp, i In the United States it takes but .2 of an hour. And to buy a kilo-; watt-hour of electric energy for the lamp in Europe it requires from 12 to 43 minutes of work. In the ; United States the money to buy such energy is earned in only 3.6 j 1 minutes of work. o ] I I + + ’ Modern Etiquette j By ROBERTA LEE ♦ « I Q. What courtesies should a wife show her husband in the home? i A. The devoted and tactful wife will be interested in his business al fairs, considerate when he is tired or ill, consult him in regard to all social activities in which he is involved, and show appreciation for all courtesies he extends to her. Q. How should a divorcee sign her name? A. She should use the surname of her former husband, prefixing her maiden name. y. Should the title “Reverend’’ be used when introducing a clergyman? A. No. o TWENTY YEARS - *]' AGO TODAY i From the Daily Democrat File || ♦ ♦ March 23 —Germans blast a path 1 through the French and Brinish and capture 25.000 men. Paris is bombarded by German air forces. The war is serious. Secretary of War Baker arrives in London and is cheered by thousands. Miss Anita Swearingen wins the I county oratorical contest.
