Dr. Gallup is becoming so expert in his forecast of election results, that he may be headed for a downfall the next time. There is not much doubt about the election of Dr. George Gillie to Congress. With the correction of the vote totals in Wells county, he I car ried every county in the Fourth district. The automobile shows are attracting admirers and buyers and the plants are producing the new models in large numbers. This country is sold on the auto and it win - always play an important part in American life. Enjoy these wonderful fall days The bright sunshine should revive yotrr spirits and with tne approach of Thanksgiving make one thank ful for the numerous blessings we enjoy, including the present brand of ideal weather. The state police have been ordered to confiscate slot machines wherever they find them. Orders have been given by Governor Townsend to the superintendent of police to rout the machines and prosecute the offenders. Someone makes the comparison that the present day low price automobile would cost 315,'W0 if built as houses are —by hand. Mass production is what reduces costs and at the same time supplies the demand in one-tenth the time, which is a problem the country has been battling w’ith for a generation. Fort Wayne is tackling a good jized job this week in the effort to Yaise $231,998 for a community “Thest. Teams have been named by J. L. “Hans” Mueller and the -boys hope to wind-up the drive in « few days. They have never fallen down before and without doubt jvill go over the top in this year's Community effort.

I universities will be pulllgg for the breaks tn favor of their team. The Jews in Germany have been fined $400,000,000 for the killing of ' a German diplomat in Parts by a young Polish Jew. They must also pay for the damages done to prop- | erty iu the riot which broke out j following the murder. It probably means confiscation of all Jewish property and is a big price to be paid by an entire race for the act • of oue individual. The Republicans took the martyr stand in the election and called for a recount in tie state vote, i Their enthusiasm has dropped a j j little since Edward D. Koeuemanti, Democrat, apparently defeated for 1 Secretary of State, has announced . he will ask a recount. The unof-1 ■ tidal returns give Tucker, the Ro- j publican candidate for the office a I , lead of 350 and that seems close enough to have a recount. A friendly American jesture was that of President Roosevelt's in ‘ naming Alf Landon, the Republican 1 candidate tor president in 1936, as 1 a member of the Pan-American ' conference to be held in Lima, j | Peru, next month. We may have our political differences, but when I it comes to representing the t'uit'ed States we stand as one. The committee also includes the Rev. ■ Father O'Hara, president of Notre Dame and Kathryn Lewis, daughter of CIO John L. Lewis. Secretary of State Hull is chairman of the good will committee to the > southern republic. RELIEF FOR DAYTON SCHOOLS: Education week was observed in dismal fashion at Dayton, 0., in I connection with Tuesday s election. The schools there have been clos ed for lack of funds to pay teach- ■ ers' salaries. An effort to assure financial solvency for the future was made iu a proposed 2-mill I levy, designed to raise $560,900 an- i ! u next five years for | school purposes. The voters rejected the revenue measure, which required a 65 per , cent majority tor approval. The project did not even carry by a bare majority, since only 28,77# favored by levy while 35,069 opI>osed it. The State Department of Education had warned that fail- > ure of the special tax would mean . a curtailed school term next year. Evidently the voters of that city J care little whether children are ! denied the educational opportui»-1 ities which are regarded as a major responsibility in any progressive community. The Dayton schools have been closed since October 30. The per-, iod has been marked by court injunctions and other legal maneuvers. The teachers declined to • serve without pay pending adjust- ! meat of the financial problem. They denied lack of loyalty, but pointed out that the community had ignored just claims six times in the last few years. The teachers refused to resume the role of victims in further failure of the community to make suitable provision for education. It is a deplorable condition, both from the , standpoint of the pupils and the lack of civic spirit revealed by this industrial center. Tax distribution and advauces on foundation certificates will reopen the schools in another week. The city should make certain that this discreditable situation is not possible again.— Indianapolis Star. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ . ♦ I 1.

Mr. Manion made reference to I the usurpation of human rights in I Germany, Italy, Russia and drew a [ j contrast between the functions of ’ government there and in this country. | He claimed that as long as Amifericans insisted that the purpose ■ of government was declared in the

Declaration of Independence and as Americans we fought for those principles, this country would con- 1 , tinue to survive as the only great i democracy on the face of the earth. 0 Remy Bierly, president of the Holy Name society, was chairman of the program. Rev. Father Joseph J. Seimetx. j pastor of St. Mary’s church, extended words of welcome to the visitors. Rev. Theodore Fettig of Monroeville and Rev.
