Mrs. Jackson’s lecture "Heart's I Housecleaning” was an allegorical feature talk in which she began her task in the basement, discarding useless things and installing a new furnace burning with the fire of •‘Sincerity.’’ In her living room fireplace. she now burned the fire of sympathy and friendliness. The woodwork of her house she found basically good but painted | with shams and veneers. These she replaced with truth and loyalty. The cold formality of the mohair coverings on her furniture she exchanged for warm tones of friendship and hospitality of sew tapestry. In the wardrobes were many queer bundles hidden from view for years. One she knew contained a mixture of petty jealousy, hard feelings. etc. These she cast away i quickly without opening. Another was filled with superstitions, such as picking up a pin if it pointed towards you or walking around it if pointed the other way, counting ten before you started again if you had forgotten something and bad to go back. Looking over these, she knew she didn't believe in them but she had plenty of room so she put them back for a while. I Her pictures she cut from the frames to replace with pictures of pleasant memoriaes. One, however, she left—that of the first armistice night when she was standing with a crowd in front of the minument in Indianapolis. She loked and saw for a monent the flag of our country unfurled to the breezes, there hidden from view at the top of the monument, the happy hysterical crowd at its base. Mrs. Jackson is a charmtag, entertaining speaker. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were newspaper people, working for a short time on the same paper in Muncie.

i James Hurst And Wife Mark 60th Wedding Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. James Hurst, two of the city's best known citizens, will commemorate their 60th wedding anniversary Wednesday at their home on West Monroe street. • Mr. and Mrs. Hurst were married November 9, 1878 at the home I of the bride’s father, William Fish- . er, north of the city on the river road. I Mrs. Hurst, who before her marriage was Mary Melissa Fisher, is 79 years old. She is in apparent i good health. Mr. Hurst, who is 84 years old, holds the distinction of being De- ’ j catur's first fire chief. He is also a former city councilman. He has been a member of the I king and Frosch pleased the audl- , ence by repeating two musical numj bers they had given at the recent 1 >t meeting of the Northern Indiana teachers' association meeting in I Fort Wayne. At the business session Miss El- .! oise Lewton, president, announced the next meeting would be a federal tion dinner at the Decatur country club. Mrs. Frederick G. IBaly of Ind- , ianapolis, general federation director for Indiana and a former presi-| , dent, will be the guest speaker. I I MRS. EUGENE RUNYON HOSTESS AND LEADER The Research club met at the home • of Mrs. Eugene Runyon Monday as- . ternoon with Mrs. Runyon also the program leader. She read a most ini teresting paper on “Sea Treasures,"' ! which gave evidence of a most • thorough study of her subject. "The widest and most interesting empire of the globe remains un-' > explored. It is the ocean floor where i roll the secrets of the ages—ships , that never returned and monsters never viewed by the eyes cf man. “‘Elaborate exploration of the ( ocean floors depends on two things: , the development of diving apparatus and advancement in undersea ’ light and photographic apparatus. , i "Ever since the war, there have ' been interesting activities to bring , back part of the sunken wealth. A fairly careful compilation of known wrecks in the last two centuries i and a reasonable estimate of their , treasurers amounts to a billion and a half dollars. “Fish make a large part of sea treasures — eighty families are | known.

I - — By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1938 King Features Syndicate, inc. HOLLYWOOD.—CIose students of the life of Jesse James will bring the usual charge—that his . icreen biography tampers with his-

tory. The outlaw’s mother, for instance, will die in the picture when detectives toss a bomb into the James cabin. Actually, she survived, with the loss of an arm. The true facts of the incident are well known to Tw e n t i eth

Century-Fox, but the death of Mrs. James serves the movie story better. However, the studio went so far as to poll the residents of Pineville, Mo., on which version to use. They voted for the death. Late spots here are suffering a period of doldrums but there still are amusing things to see . . . As when Horace Boos, Jr., and Marian Sayres arrived at Phil Selznick’s the other midnight on a motor scooter with sidecar. Gray-haired Harry K. Thaw also present that evening but snoozed peacefully for an hour. Astrology guides every move of William Dieterle, tall German director, who wears white gloves on the set and, in action, appears to be a bundle of nerves. Dieterle was supposed to start the important picture, “Juarez,” the first week in November, but learned from an astrologer that the most favorable starting date was Oct. 28. To ease his mind, Warners let him do one scene on that day. It was only an insert of a man’s hand reaching for a book, but it satisfied Dieterle. There’ll be no prettying up of Corrigan for his acting role in “The Flying Irishman.” They won’t even straighten his teeth, the first ordeal of any would-be screen player. Hollywood's newest country gentleman will be Richard Dix. He has bought a quarter section In the valley, well beyond most of the alm and will live there between pictures. Main object, he rays, is to give the twins, now four years old, a taste of ranch life, but

Decatur Knights of Pythias lodge for 63 years and three years ago was voted a life membership in the organization, in reotignition of his long and devoted service to Its principles. Members of the immediate family will attend a dinner at the home Wednesday in commemoration of the event. The children who will attend are: Will of Rock Island. Illinois; Ed of this city, Frank of Hear Decatur and Mrs. Albert Katterheinrich, of Oceola. Twenty grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren are also expected to attend.

Sponges and priceless I coral are found in the Mediterran-I : ean sea and the great oyster pearl in the tropic seas. "Captain IBemjamln Leavitt end ■ Captain Everett are among the greatest sea divers". Mrs. Runyon augmented her talk with a display of coral and other ocean flora. Subtopics were read by Mrs. LeoI nard Saylors and Mrs. L. A. Gra- ■ ham. The club will meet next week j at the home of Mrs. Fred Heuer, with Mrs. James Fristoe as the 1 leader. MRS. VIVIAN THOMAS CADY TO SPEAK TO SOCIETIES The members of the Baptist Woman’s Society will entertain with a | tea for the rest of the Decatur wo- . mans’ societies Tuesday afternoon | in the church parlors. Mrs. Vivian Thomas Cady, recently returned missionary from Burma will be the guest speaker. She will speak of her experiences and the manners of the people of .that country. Mrs. ! Cady was a resident of this city until a short time before she made this trip. MRS. MELINDA DARWACHTER HAS SISTERS OF RUTH CLASS The Sisters of Ruth class of the , Christian church Bible school met Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Melinda Darwachter.

Surprise visitor to the Clove! > club was another Hollywood cas- . ualty, Andrea Leeds. She came or crutches' and her escort, Jimmy Bryant, gallantly carried her up and down the steep steps at the t entrance. Plenty of other mascul line attention for Andrea, too. At , her table gathered Edwin Justus , Mayer, Sam Hoffenstein, Anatole i Litvak and Thomas Mitchell. Which • is doing all right for a girl who, I only a year or so ago, was a U. C. ; L. A. co-ed.
