Representative SCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Join the Red Cross, buy Christ- . mas seals, help the Good Fellows. That's the way to start your Christmas observation. Seven babies were born at the i Adams County Memorial Hospital over the week end. which is adding to the population of the "sweetest city in Indiana," in a "darling" I manner. When disasters occur its the, Red Cross that is always hist on hand with trained people to relieve the suffering. The annual roll call is on and this county should soon have a thousand membets or more. The automobile industry is operating at the liveliest pace since i mid-summer of last year and leaders in that field are confident the improvement will continue. Much depends on that, tor it represents ; more than half our industrial life. ■HbgMBMMUMBHMUI According to the report filed by the Republican committee in Mar-, ion county they used three thous- j and messengers on election day at thrftg dollars each. If that isn't hirfftg influence we wouldn't know what it was —and they talk about the two per cent club. You will be happy if you make : others enjoy Christmas and the; finest way to do that here is to . support the Good Fellow's club which for years has brought pleasures to the poor children of the _ community at Christmas time. : Subscribe to this fund as liberally as you can. Strikes and more strikes and j what's the gain? Without know-j ing much about what its all about it does seem that, each walk out) or sit-down just slows up the country that much. Serious problems should be settled and an era of general happiness and progress : would follow. James Roosevelt, son of the President and until recently his secretary, has been made vicepresident of Samuel Goldwyu, Inc., one of the great picture industries. It is rumored his salary will be $50,000 per year, which is not doing so bad!;. He is a hustfer, well educated, experienced in business and in governmental affairs, will be very helpful and will, we should say, come as near earning that salary as any one we know of. Convinced that the votes were properly reported from the machines in Marion county, the Republican candidates have given up their contests, which were costing each candidate eight dollars per day. The Democrats would like to have had it. completed, but under 16 Omtmasr-*

I the law will probably not be so permitted. So far as there is any evidence (he election was fairly and honestly conducted and the losers will have to stnlle whether they feel like it or not. The Notre Datne football team, one of the best ever to represent that old institution of learning, was . given a surprise defeat at Los An- I i geles Saturday when Southern California out played and out scor- t ed them, the final being 13 to 0. j ’ It was a tough break, for the Irish | had been widely advertised as the mythical champions and would I have been if they could have won ! ; for they were unbeaten and untied I until they traveled to the coast, j ■ Coach Layden had no excuses and ; it seems to have been just one of those surprises that makes all , I sports interesting. — There is much agitation now tor i the government to build superI highways, multiple-lane roads from I coast to coast, employing labor and 1 providing military routes if they I are ever needed. A measure is be- ; ing prepared for congress to pro- ' vide three north and south and three east west roads of this kind and the cities near these lines will I j be fortunate. It is not impossible I that this county may be on the , path. Highways 27, 33 and 224 are . i all federal routes now and any one of these might be a part of the ; proposed improvement. It would ' be wise if some attention was givi en the proposals and it local effort i is necessary, no doubt many would be interested. One of the largest contributors [ I to the Republican campaign in ' Indiana was the DuPont family of | Delaware. Just why any citizen of Delaware or any other state should take a deep interest in the I politics of Indiana is hidden in the | I archives of big business. The DuPouts were the family that financ- ■ ed the Liberty League. They hate Roosevelt, but it is not hatred alone which prompted them to send 1 the thousands to this state to de- | ■ bauch the voters and mislead them. What they were interested in was the election of congressmen who will go to Washington I to oppose the New Deal and its ! program of reform and recovery. They are interested in tariffs, iu escape from taxation, in the thous- ; and and one privileges which law i can given. Some timely advice was given business men by Dr. Isador Lubin, commissioner of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, at a I conference of retail executives. ' Don't rock the recovery boat by 1 ■ jacking up prices. wa% Lubin's warning. He said that business | has been getting better and predicted a prolonged period of sus- ■ tained improvement if retail prices I were kept at the present level. If business men seek profits by in- | creasing the cost to consumers instead of through a greater volume ! of sales, they will upset the applecart and business will be back where it was last spring, Lubin asserted. He placed blame for the recession that began in 1937 on profiteering. What the country i needs most, Lubin said, is additionai purchasing power, and that [ 'is obtainable only through the : employment of workers at good i wages. Chief weakness in the argument , of those who charge that reformatories have failed in their purpose j and who urge that such penal and | correctional institutions be abolished is failure to suggest a practical substitute. The reformatory never i I can operate to the entire satisfaction of penologists, reformers or the general public, since its exis■l tence reveals weaknesses that call for correction. It may be assumed that if individuals were born with sound minds and bodies, reared under proper home background and subjected to wholesome influences duriug their formative years, they would be immune to

factors which breed crime. Until such desirable conditions become generally prevuilent, however, society must take stern measures for j its own protection while endeavor-) ing to fit the wayward individual for more useful citizenship. Progress may seem slow but it has been producing gratifying results. The reformatory may breed crime in some prisoners, as charged, yet this institution marks a decided advance over the system which prevailed when all law violators were herded into a single prison, the hardened and desperate criminals along with younger individuals held for the first time in the grip of the law.- Indianapolis Star. o ♦ « Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two « .4 1.
