The 1939 club is now being organized and it is expected that at least a thousand will become members. It's not an investment but a plan of laying away the money weekly so you will have it when you need it most. The city of Indianapolis has a smallpox epidemic, eighteen cases having been reported and the board of health has ordered all school children not immune to be vaccinated immediately. At this season of the year there is always danger of this and other cities are warned by the state board of health to keep watch and to take such precautions as will aid in fighting the disease.

A man named Krugg from Linton, driving an automobile at Auburn a few days ago, crashed into a tree. He was infilled and a Mrs. Webb, who was a passenger in the car. was killed. Krugg was fined a total of $10.20 for reckless driving. The punishment seems so light as to almost make a farce of the law. If he was indeed guilty of reckless driving and the death of a passenger in his car resulted, it certainly seems strange that he could escape with so easy and simple a punishment. If he was not guilty he should not have been so charged.

The drive for highway safety is being broadened to include dogs. New York state has a law penalizing the hit-and-run driver who strikes a dog and fails to report the accident. —Business Week.

Indiana U. Inaugurates Herman B. Wells President

(The Daily Democrat presents the concluding article of the series of Indiana University its history, and its new president, Herman B Wells ;rho was inaugurated Thursday. — Editor's Note) By Maurice Adelman Bloomington, Ind.. De<’. 2—Finance and banking might easily have been the career of Herman B Wells who Thursday was formally installed as the eleventh president of Indiana University. Heredity as well as early training might have turned his steps in tne direction of finance as easily as into the educational field. H’S father. Grainville Wells, still is an active banker in Jamestown. Boone County, where the new I. U. president was born 36 years ago last June. But before being a banker, Grainville Wells was a teacher in the Jamestown public schools as was Berniece Harting We.ls, mother of the Indiana president Herman B Wells from the age of l.t was associated with banks and banking, beginning as an errand and office boy in his father's bank, the Citizens' Slate Bank of Jamestown. After his graduation in 1924 from Indiana University’s school of business administration, it was into banking that he went, serving for two years as assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Leban , on. After returning to Indiana for a year of graduate work tor his master’s degree, the youthful Wells again turned to the banking field i to become field secretary from 1928 to 1931 of the Indiana Bankers asso-; ciation.

cianon. State-wide recognition came to Wells in 1931 when Governor Harry G. Leslie appointed the study commission for Indiana financial institutions which with Wells as secretary tor almost two years worked on a revision of the banking and financial institutions laws of the Hoosier state. The report of the that time. In this way they got more than they asked. But now it is proposed to bring up the matter once more. The question arises whether they will be willing to give up the SIOO a teacher in exchange for the state taking over the entire cost of social security. The SIOO a teacher amounts to more than $2,000,000 a year in the state. To Henry county it amounts to $25,000 a year. And it must be remembered that the social security tax now includes many thousands of dollars that were paid for similar relief before social security laws were in existence. When local communities have no social security taxes to pay, the cost of that service will rise by leaps and bounds.—Newcastle Courier-Times

commission was enacted into law — a law known as the Indiana financial institutions act which has served as a model for banking laws of many other states. The newly created state department of financial institutions, needing expert assistance in its early stages, drafted the services ot' Wells then assistant professor in the University’s economics department, and for two years he acted as supervisor of the department's divisions of banks and trust companies and research and statistics. At the same time, he served as secretary of the Indiana commission of financial institutions. The deanship of I. U.’s School of Business Administration became vacant in 1935. and University authorities immediately turned to Prof. Wells. It was from the deanship he was selected as acting president on the retirement of President William Lowe Bryan in 1937. Outside of the state of Indiana, the new Indiana president is almost as widely known in financial and banking circles through his membership on the research council of the American 'Bankers Association, having charge of the Association’s research activities. o * Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ ♦ Stale Cake Stale cake can be freshened by dipping it for a moment in cold sweet milk, and then rebaking in a moderate oven.
