There have to be child players on the screen but the passion of some parents to get their offspring in the movies always has i made me a Uttle sick. The other day at a Vine street restaurant, for instance. Two kids, a boy and a girl, came in, sat down and asked for a glass of water. While the waiter was fetching it, the youngsters suddenly rose and went into an act. Nothing surprises Hollywood. The luncheon crowd stared a minute then went back to its food. When the hapless youngsters finished their trick and nothing happened, a woman, who had been watching* outside the restaurant, came in and took them away.

A war office communique from the border said the soviets coni tinued sporadic artillery fire into the Japanese first line. Announcing Horinouchl's proposal. the foreign office spokesman said it was “hard to see what attitude the soviet government would take toward the reasonable proposals of our government.” "All we can say as to whether these proposals, based on a broad view of the situation, will materialize. depends upon the attitude of the soviet government.” ——o — Special Collector Removing Garbage The special garbage collector employed by the city started out , this morning to clean up the cans and haul the contents away.

NEWSPARK IN CZECH CRISIS Germany Protests Czech Planes Circling Over German Territory ■—-—- | Berlin, Aug. 4— (UP) —Germany | protested vigorously to Czoehoslo- ; vakia today against an alleged In ' (■urslon of German territory by a I Czechoslovak airplane, the semi- of-' ficial D. N. B. news agency report- [ ed. The agency reported yesterday] from Glatz, 12 milee from the Cze-' choslovak frontier, that two Czech ( planes circled about the town for some time. Attmpts by the crews: of the planes to photograph Glatz | were observed, the agency said. “The German minister to Prague ' protested sharply to the Prague government,” today's announcement said, "and demanded the pun- j ishment of those responsible for the intentional flight over the German frontier by Czech planes,” The press watt aroused by the latest Czechslovak-German border incident, increasing the tension between the two countries over the minority problem. “The people in Prague are playing the most wanton game with European peace,” the Voikischer: Beobachter, argan of the national i socialist (Nazi) party, charged.' "This playing with fire reveals unparalleled unscrupuliousness. The plan is to create nepr complications at the moment whe nthe British adviser (Viscount Runciman) comes to Prague and conduct negotiations in a dangerous war atmosphere. "Runciman will be able to see for himself in what spirit the Czechs are starting the conversations—in the spirit of increased hostility towards the minorities and with a police of provocation against the Reich which is being pushed for- ; ward with unparalleled cynicism I by the insane idea that Europe has ino other task but to let herself be j sacrificed on the altar of Czech mei galomania.” i o . • i*— < > Substitute For The ‘Human Cannonball' Relates Experience The experience of being shot I from a cannon for the first time 1 was related to a Democrat reporter I j late Wednesday afternoon Dy 39-year-old Mike Ferrell as he lay on a hospital bed at the local institution Ferrell, whose desperate need of money, he stated, caused him to accept the offer of the manager of the "human cannonball" act of the street fair, suffered two dislo- '

rated bones in Ills left foot in-dwfrtg Ihe act. "I’ll admit I was a little scared,” he stated, "especially, since I hud tried the act before in the morning, but the mechutilstn of the gun fulled. and they hud to pull me out.” "It's an awful sensation.” he asserted, “but nbthlng like you'd think. I felt a sudden terrific Jar - my head seemed to burst' a million lights appeared betorq tny ' eyes; every bone In tnv body ' seemed to struggle against some hidden force that's all. it was ; over In a flush," he vividly related. “It happened so quickly. I I thought my foot was hurt in the j cannoli. 1 did not know I wus in the net, until the pain in my foot | snapped me out of the halfj conscious condition." | "The two-und-a-half'll come In i handy.” he said. (Ferrell bargainied with the free act manager, i agreeing to perform for 32.50.) Meanwhile, Ferrell, who said ho | was a leather worker and harness maker by trade, will be confined to the hospital for several days j until his injured foot recovers I sufficiently for him to hobble ( around. Ferrell said he "had no ill feeling toward anyone; that it was his own fault for taking such a crazy chance to pick up a few bucks,” and that lie was going to settle down and quit "bumming around.” Ferrell came to Decatur earlier In the week from North Vernon, riding the rails, hitch-hiking and I walking part of the way. The night befora lie arrived in Decatur he [ slept in a barn a few miles from here. . o 4-H Club Dress Revue At School This Evening The 4-H dress revue, an annual part of the Decatur Free Street Fair and Agricultural show, will be held tonight at 8 p. m. in the Decatur high school auditorium. The public is cordially invited to attend.

Ever Wonder Why You’re Constipated? Do you ever have days when you just have to drag yourself along, when you feel tired, sunk-be-cause of that constipation? Then i why not find out the real cause of your trouble? What have you had to eat lately? Just things like meat, bread and potatoes? If that’s it, you may not have to look any farther. It’s likely your trouble is you don’t get enough “bulk." And "bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food. It means a kind of food that isn’t consumed in the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the intestines and aids elimination. If "bulk” is what you lack, your ticket is a dish of crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast every day. It contains the “bulk" you need plus Nature's great intestinal tonic, vitamin B„ Eat it every day. drink plenty of water, and join the “regulars”! Made by Kellogg in Battle
