Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. The hotter it gets, the more they advertise fur coats. We Americans talk about being peace-loving, but most of us like to read that the Russians are licking the Japs. Dale Carnegie, in his syndicated column, quotes the late George Horace Lorimer, former editor of I the Saturday Evening Post as saying. it was a good thing to have money and the things that money can buy; but that it is good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure we haven’t lost the things that money can't buy. All around you, you'll find things money can't buy. “Bo’ McMillin of Indiana University, will coach the All-Stars in the exhibition game against the Washington Redskins in Chicago, the night of August 31. "Bo'’ was selected in a popular vote contest conducted throughout the country. His lead in the poll came from the extra heavy boost given by admirers in the Hoosier state, all of whom are happy to see him selected as the mentor of the big grid classis. Friends in this city were shocked with the sudden death of Tilman 11. Gerber which occurred yesterday morning while he was calling on customers for thel Mutschler Packing company. Mr. Gerber was a faithful employe of I the local meat industry and had a wide circle of friends in his territory. He was well and favorably known here, was active in his church and was a kind and devoted husband and father. To his family we extend sincere sympathies. Ab Jenkins, speed king, is either going to kill himself or break all salt track records with the new gasoline powered bullet, being built for him by Gus Duesenberg. He will race in the Bonneville, Utah classic with a car having two motors, one of 650 H P. and the other 1,200 H.P. supercharged. Jenkins holds a record of 181.11 miles per hour for 10 miles and another of 148 miles per hour over a 48-hour period. He may land in the salt flats and never be found, or give the cameramen something to shoot at when he hurricanes by. Toledo, Ohio, a city of 300,000 population, now has only one evening newspaper. The News-Bee folded up last week, leaving the field to the Blade. Newspapers are expensive institutions to operate. In addition to rent, taxes, telephone and telegraph services, newsprint and features, plant depreciation and other fixed charges, the labor bill is a heavy one. Even if reporters and office workers aren't paid the highest salaries, the printing trades demand good pay and in most cases you'll find printers’ wages as high as any local scale for trained mechanics. When newspaper revenue, which

is largely advertising falls off, outgo does not equal Income. Unless I publishers have a surplus to draw from, the heavy overhead and payroll demands soon put the quietus to the publication. That was the I t case of the once famous Toledo ] News-Bee and the big Ohio city j 1 now becomes a one-paper town, along with hundreds of others. RUMORS OF WAR: I ’ The defect of communication by l ear rather than by eye was sharp--1 ly brought to our attention this ' week. Several friends asked whethi er we had heard Walter Winchell 1 predict on his Sunday night program that a European war was likely to break out within two' weeks. We hadn't heard the pro- j gram. The versions of those who , had differed widely and stretched ; the probabilities so far that we i asked for a transcript which Mr. j Winchell supplied. Careful reading discloses that Mr. Winchell did not predict war, but stated, in accord with prevailing newspaper practice, that re-1 liable Washington sources believed that preparations for war were in progress and that Germany had decided to invade Czechoslovakia about August 15 unless her terms i were met. The last part is plausible, for weather conditions in Europe make a later start of a marching campaign unpropitious. | We don’t know how a legitimate and carefully worded piece of in- 1 formation like that can be convey-| ed to the radio audience. All i qualifying words seem to be lost. : The commentator is placed in the . position of stating positively what ‘ he can only know at second or . third hand. The wildest newspap- ] er headline of 1898 can't hold a , candle for sensationalism to the] headlines listeners write on what they hear over the air waves. — i j Editor and Publisher. INTEREST CENTERS i IN DEMOCRAT RACES: Tuesday's primaries took their toll, but with the defeats emerged ( , new victors. in .Governor Davey failed to be renominated by the Demo-, crats for a third term. Lieuten- i ant-Governor Sawyer won the nomination, his margin being less , than 30,000 votes. Davey is serv- i ing his second term as chief executive and waged a terrific battle for . the nomination. He has been the ; center of an organization tight and , the odds were against him. i Seator Bulkley, Democrat, was an easy victor in the race for re-; ' nomination. Hi# opponent in th< < I November election will be Robert I 1 i Taft, son of the former president, j who won as easily as the Democrat | i standard bearer. ( Ohio promises to be one of the , battle grounds this fall. Issues i will be discussed to fever heat, in addition to the interest which the personalities in the races will create. Senator Pope, who was generally referred to as the other senator I from Idaho, went down to defeat, Representative Clark, a self-styled i conservative Democrat being the ( victor. In Arkansas, Mrs. Hattie Caraway will be returned to the sen-1 ate. with her victory in Tuesday's i primary. The Democrat nornina-1 tion in that state is equal to elec- i tion. Mrs. Caraway, wife of the former senator is the only woman member of that august body. Pope's defeate might be classed! as the only up-set and probably was due to local issues and the popularity of his opponent. in Ohio, the Democrats cast about 100,000 votes more than| their senatorial candidates. The' Democrat vote in Idaho and Ne-| braska also exceeded the Republican total. •’ I Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ < Gasoline Whenever you use gasoline for, cleaning purposes, pour the residue' down the kitchen sink followed by I boiling water.

Although the weatherman has promised "somewhat warmer” wea- ' ther to follow the rain, citizens encouraged by last night’s relief looked forward to a continuance of the ! heat wave with new life. This morning at 8 o’clock the , Democrat thermometer registered a temperature of 74 degrees above, indicating that the respite from the 1 I heat was only temporary. o BIG GERMAN PLANE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) took neither mail nor cargo on the test hop. The crew members were 1 Capt. Alfred Henke, pilot; Rudolph Von Moreau, co-pilot; Paul Dier-! berg, flight engineer, and Walter Kober, radio operator.

Kenneth Behr, i j manager of the airport said he i understood they might take off on ' the return trip immediately after refueling. Other sources said, however, that they probably would I snatch a few hours of sleep first. The German Aero club asked Behr to time the plane's arrival officially.

INSULL LEAVES ! SI,OOO IN CASH I I Samuel Insull, Once Worth Billions, Owes 14 Million In Debts Chicago. Aug. 11 (U.R) Samuel. I Insull's will was filed for probate' l today. He left SIOOO in cash and j $14,000,000 In debts. When he died in Paris July 15 that was all ho retained of a fortune once estimated as "greater than Rockefeller's." His $4,000,000,000 light and power empire l shattered in the depression of the' early 30's, Insull had lived for six ! years on a $21,000 annual pension from three of the companies which I once were his. The will named his son. Samuel j Jr., as executor and his wife, Mrs., Margaret A. Insull — the former Gladys Wallis of the stage—as sole | heir. She had remained at his side . during his flight through Europe.] when he was sought here on indictments charging embezzlement, and was with him when he died Insull had dictated the brief, formal document on June 14. 1932. Twenty eight days before a receiver had been appointed for Midwest i Utilities, central block in the pyramided financial structure of the "titan of power." Seven days earlier—with the structure crumbling swiftly all around him —Insull had resigned control of all his companies. Twenty-four hours later he was I In full flight for Paris, while offi , cials were combing the complicated I finances of the holding companies for evidence on which indictments charging embezzlement were returned four months later. There were no amendments or changes in the will during the ensuing years while Insull was dodging from France, to Greece and finally to Turkey, returning to America a prisoner aboard a freighter, tried in federal court , and finally—a tired old man who ' rode a bus to the courthouse — i . exhonerated. i A letter of application for pro-; ' bate which accompanied the will ! informed the court that Insull's $16,000,000 in personal debts had i been reduced by $2,000,000 under [ I a property assignment executed the I ' same day the will was drawn. I The letter said in part: "The estate consists of cash ap-1 proximately SI,OOO and a beneficial interest in the excess, if any. over the amount necessary to pay creditors in an agreement dated June 14. 1932. whereby Insull assigned for benefit of creditors, whose claims approximated $16,000,000. all his real estate and personal property considered by the credi- ; tors to be of any substantial value, the assets having a value of apl proximately $2,000,000.” Terre Haute College Plans New Buildings Torre Haute, Ind., Aug. 11 — Aj ; building program at Indiana State | Teachers College, which started in j 1934 and will total approximately, $3,000,000 when finished, was push- ! ed ahead today with the announce-' inent of completion of plans for] two new structures, the proposed fine arts and commerce building, and the auditorium and student’ I building. They will relieve heavily overcrowded campus conditions.

Both were dedicated last fall with educators | from throughout the midwest in l , attendance.
