Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Talking about traffic accidents,r how about the head lights on your, automobile. Are you driving your ! car with only one light, causing a ; hazard to other cars along the road? Get your lights fixed! More automobile accidents in the ' county. They come almost faster than newspapers can record them and if anyone knows the solution forever grateful for the formula. Shop in Decatur and trade at the local stores. That's one .way of getting things started on a busy fall schedule. You'll feel happier making purchases and the putting of dollars in circulation will help others. Chicago is going modern, or at least it is accepting the styles of the present day. An 1895 ordinance requiring bloomer bathing suits to be worn by bathers along the beach has been repealed. Fat chance they would have of enforcing the old ordinance anyway. The Centenary celebration of St. Mary's church, aside from the inspiring services held, afforded the occasion for a happy reunion among the parish members. PerI: sons »'ho had not been home for 11 a number of years, came to meet friends and participate in the services and the day was a happy and ; enjoyable one for all. I1 Highways of the future will be built as one-way roads. It may be more expensive and it will require , , a lot more right of ways, but with . increased numbers of automobiles, , geared at higher speed the two or , even three-way roads are not safe. 1 t There should be a one way road : constructed through the state and , across it. In a short tint? it would pay for itself and save many lives. , It may not be glad tidings to the children, but the school opening dates have already been anuoun- 1 ced. The rural schools will hold a 1 preliminary opening on September 2, adjourning until the following Tuesday when classes will be resumed in both the rural and city schools. After all. going back to school is the happiest time in the child's life and after the first day of classes is over, they wouldn’t want to go back to the vacation period, especially when all their ’ playmates are listening to teacher, i The Decatur Library budget and tax levy will not be increased next , year, according to the estimates published by the board. The tax levy proposed is six cents within the city limits and three cents in the township. The rates will raise about $3,700 and this small amount will be sufficient to operate the, library for next year. For the pleasure it gives patrons and the good it does, the library is one of the finest public institutions in the community It is worth more than it costs, by several fold.

Indianapolis has been taken over by the Leglonuaiimit. A state convention of world war veterans ' is one of the most enthusiastic of ,! all gatherings. There is more col- ! or. pep and enthusiasm in a Legion convention than in any assembi ly of a service convention and the i attendance generally equals that j of the major political parties. The I colorful parade, with bands and I martial music is always the highi light of the big show which the i Legionnaires furnish in connection with their state conclave. Charles Ehinger will take his father’s place on the board of dirI ectors of the Citizens Telephone . Company and will also fill the . lajst of secretary. The company will continue to be managed and directed by the board and the ImI pi ovements heretofore planned by ■ the directors and which were be- ! ing carried out by Herman Ehing- ' er, for 18 years secretary and manager of the utility will be made. It is one of the best telephone | utilities in the middle west and the able board composed of Leo ! Yager, Sam Hite, Clarence Beil and Arthur Voglewede. together with the junior member, will j continue to develop its usefullness and service. Young Mr. Ehinger is ably equipped to start in his fath- ! er's footsteps. A graduate of the | Purdue Engineering college last 1 June, he has the foundation, tal- ! ent, energy and youthful outlook. ' needed so much now-a-dnys in business. We wish him success and know he will have the hearty sup--1 port and cooperation of the other | board members, the telephone pati irons and the community as well. in dispatching the duties of a post so ably filled by his father. AMERICANS IN SPANISH WAR The two Americans from the Lincoln battalion fighting in ’he I Spanish government army, who I have been telling their tale of woe to a house committee in ashington, are entitled to little sympathy. , One of them frankly admitted that he is a deserter and escaped by walking 200 miles to the French border. Both complained that they were held “virtual prisoners;’’ that they were threatened with machine guns at any sign of mutiny. It would be interesting to know what they think our army would do to | deserters in time of war. Those young Americans went to Spain in search of excitement and found that war in that country is a serious business, just as it is in any nation. Apparently they were of the opinion they could go over and see the country, fight in a skirmish or two and quit if they did not like what they had undertaken. Armies are not operated in any such informal fashion and they should have known it before they left the United States. Their experience, at least, should Impress other would-be soldiers of fortune. The witnesses told the congressional committeemen that hundreds of their former comrades want desperately to come home. It was their opinion that our government should "take steps to extricate the American troops from Spain." There are no “American troops" in Spain. The Americans there went on their own responsibility and without consent or even knowledge of our government. They should not expect to get this country into complications because of their own folly. Those volunteers should have remained at home, but, having failed to do So, should expect to stand by the consequences of their own blundering. Our government did make representations to Gen. Franco to save an American aviator from execution, but it did not ask that he be turned loose. The Spau- , ish incident should serve as a lessl on to Americans who look for ex- ; citement in the armies of other countries. The patriotic thing for them to do is to stay out of wars less their own country's army is involved. — Indianapolis Star.

By SUSAN BARDEN i International llluatrated New* Writer NEW YORK-So you're off to college next month? Then you will be hustling around trying to get the fall wardrobe in shape so that you'll have the right outfits for both the dateless weeks and the football week-ends. Necessities- for any undergraduate are, a travel coat, a suit, and an informal and comfortable costume to study and play in. The top cost that is shown above was American styled, and would seem to be the decided choice . of college women. This extremely new and interesting garment is a Hollywood model. It is made of brown wool flecked with red, green and beige, and is cut on very flar--1 ing skirt lines.
