Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. On your week-end motor trip, it ( is best to remember that you are I driving the car and safety of the highways is dependent on each individual driver. You never saw greener lawns and more abundant shrubbery than j you'll find in Decatur this year, j The frequent rains have preserved the touch of spring, even during the hot weather season. Samuel Instill died with only SI,OOO in cash and debts of fourteen millions He once headed a four billion dollar utility organization, expanded too fast, over sold himself and broke in the crash. We refuse to compute how heavy the air must be in a newspaper office, based on the fellows estimate that every time you exhale a puff from a cigarette about 20 billion smoke particles are distributed. Help keep your city streets clean. City and state highway workmen sweep the thoroughfares. but a day s work can be undone through the careless throwing of paper along the curb or on the sidewalks. Although many new walks have been constructed, there are several places in the up-town district that should be rebuilt. In a few instances the walks are more or less hazardous and accidents may befall pedestrians. The Democratic Editorial meeting at French Lick. August 26 and 27th, will be an outstanding event. ] Senators VanNuys and Minton,! Governor Townsend and Represen-1 tative Jenckes are headliners on ! the program. Plans are being made I to entertain more than one thousand guests and if you want to enjoy a few days at the famous hotel and in and around Brown county, plan to join the party. Congressman Bruce Barton suggests that the automobile plants hire all the men in the country, doing away with the WPA. He doesn't like the idea of the government providing employment to those who can t find jobs in private industry. Naturally it would be better if the auto factories could employ all the men, but they don’t and never did. Modern machinery has eliminated many from the assembly lines. It is that way in other modern plants of today. It's not unusual for a president to have a personal choice in the election of members to congress. After aii. a president is human and with human feelings he more than likely prefers men who help him in carrying out his program. His taking sides in the Georgia primary is not a matter of personalities, but of principles and viewpoint expressed by the candidates. The voters of Georgia will decide who they will send to the senate, regardless of who is for or against

Senator George. Sometimes a too | strong oppositiou sets the people ! In a different mood and results are i contrary to those desired. The primary will tell the wisdom of the I endorsement ot George's oppout ent - _______ i Compiled and edited by Rev. ' Joseph J. Seimetz, an interesting and instrnctlvq history of St. Mary's parish, its founding and I ’ one hundred years of existence, Is i being issued in observance of the ' centenary of the congregation. The ' book will be placed on sale toi morrow and one thousand copies 1 will be available. It is complete in chronology and description of memorable events In the parish's found ing and succeeding 100 years. The I anniversary, which will be held in j commemoration of the saying of I the first mass in Decatur, in 1838. will be held Sunday, August 21, 1 with an outdoor service and ap- I propriate program, including sing- ■ ing by the famous Paulist choir of Chicago. Father Seimetz is to be congratulated on his book. It will i be highly prized by those who are members of his congregation and . ! those who are interested in histori ical background. — FLIGHT OF THE BRANDENBURG— Flying the great circle route . , from Berlin, the German mono- 1 , plane Brandenburg wings its way I to Newfoundland, turns southward over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and New Brunswick and hastens on to Floyd Bennett field. Though the Brandenburg s time I is not as fast as that of the late Wiley Post in his New York-to-Berlin dash back in 1933, it dem- j , onstrates the likelihood of 24-hour mail and passenger service across the Atlantic in the not-distant future. Secrecy surrounding the start of the flight adds glamor to the event. The German air ministry in Berlin gave the press no indication of what was being planned until after the Brandenburg had started. One more heroic achievement of aeronautical progress. One more milestone in aviation history. And soon the public, both here and aI broad, will be sold on the fcasibil- , ity of traveling and sending mail by air from here to Europe. — Journal Gazette. TRAGEDY AGAIN STRIKES COMMUNITY— Sickening tragedy stalked into the community early yesterday morning, claiming three youthful lives and inflicting such serious, injury on five others that the death toll may be increased momentarily. As a result of the head-on auto collision on U. S. Road 27, south |of here, Monica Colchin. 21; Jer- ' ome Gase. 29. of Decatur, children , of splendid families, and Detlef Petersen. United Pr c s s-bureau manager of Fort Wayne, are dead, i Three other Decatur people and two from Fort Wayne were injured. It's a frightful toll. In the flash of a second life was snuffed out. It all happened so quickly that the survivors cannot give a clear, ac- ! curate account of the few seconds - prior to the crash when death was i riding toward them. So many fatal accidents occur-, red in the county last year, we' felt the law of averages would hold and that dreadful tragedy j would not befall this community with such cruelness again this year. ] To the Colchin and Gase faml- j lies, to the survivors of the Fort ' Wayne young man's family, and ' to the families of the injured, we extend heartfelt sympathy. Their shoc k is severe and seems unbearable. Their grief is deep. They have suffered great loss. , They must maintain their faith in 1 the unquestioned wisdom of the God of all. the giver of life and the pilot of our destiny. 0 500 Sheets B'/jxll Yellow Second Sheets, 35c.

By MAIHICE MERRYFIELD International lUastrated Neva Writer NEW YORK —Considering the vogue for knowledge tests and information quizzes as evidenced in the current cycle of radio pro- ! grams, it might be well to glance through the almanac or history book and consider some of the unusual facts about our rather odd ! universe. Here are a few sidelight! mi the past and present of our changing world. Phillip Hone, a merchant who was later mayor of New York and prominent in national political affairs, established the first savings bank in New York City, 1816. I Chiaroscuro is the name given to the arrangement of light and shade to painting. The name America was first applied to Central Brazil, in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, who claimed its I, i discovery. It was first applied to the whole known western world by i' Mercator, the geographer, in 1541. There is no standard size and s weight for a bar of silver. Howf' ever, it generally approximate.: the of an ordinary building brick. In 1859 delegates met and adopt--1 ed‘.a constitution for a state of Jes- ! fersexn, with an area somewhat larger than Colorado, and the op- ■ position had a second convention and estafclished the Territory of Jefferson which late" became the i Territory of Colorado. Violins From Cremona , The flute is doubtless one o: the e oldest musical instruments in the world. The primitive cave dwellers c made flutes of the leg bones of u birds and other animals. Brazil furnishes two-thirds of the e world’s sujiply of coffee. Nearly three-fourths of this amount is con- . I sumed in the United States. Cremona is the name of an 1 1 talian village where many famous x\olin makers worked. Among tJx'm were Stradivarlus, Gurnerius, > Ara ati and BergonzL The violins maiV by all of them are called ' Crer Xonas. It , \vs been estimated that there are 25 \tM>o stones in the Washington mo anment. in Washington, D. C. The si7*t carpet mill in the United ?iaU’s was started by William Pet tr Sprague in Philadelphia ; in 1791 The Br I ish c’lpstitution is an unwritten, i idefiniu* body of legal ’ rules and rinciples xhich are partly the ret, dt of judicHJ decisions and partly t acta of parlianX nt - Th e Y 1 are not col I acted. , In most nations the wife ch.V| ea
