This is the year when there are no elections and the politicians r may take a rest. It's a good thing ’for them and the people as well to take a period off occasionally. Get rid of your old car and buy aja new one this week. It's used car 'safety week. If you can't afford a new one, get a better one than you have. It will help in several ways. The county clerk's office is a i busy place that handles quite a lot i ‘ ’of money during the year.

Feb. 4, at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, ; with Gov. M. Clifford Townsend and Mrs. Demarchus C. Brown, widely known world traveler and ‘ lecturer, on the speaking program. Mrs. 11. Nathan Swaitn, general chairman, announced that tickets are one dollar each and may be purchased from her. She lives at 3166 No. Delaware street, Indianapolis. She predicts an attendance lof 500. The Governor will speak I briefly, with Mrs. Brown's lecture |on “Women—And Other Women” : being the principal address. The members will meet at 11:30 a.in., Feb. 4 in a business session. Mrs. Emmet N. White of Gary is preslI dent of the club and will preside. Mrs. A. D. Chandler, wife of the Governor of Kentucky, will be a ! guest of honor at a tea and reception for wives of Democratic editors and other Democratic wo- I men to be given Saturday, Feb. 11, I i by the Marion County Women's I j Democratic Club. Through Mrs. Tilden F. Greer, president, the club . extended an invitation for the women to attend the affair in parlors of the Claypool hotel from 3 I o'clock to 4:30 p. nt. At the same time members of the Indiana I | Democratic Editorial Association will be holding a business session in the Claypool. “We will feel it I a great honor to entertain the Democratic women," said Mrs. Greer. "It will provide an opportunity for women of Marion county and other counties in the state to become acquainted." The Kentucky Governor is to address the I. D. E. A. banquet to be served in the Claypool on the evening of Feb. 11. It lias been customary 1 for some social function for woI men to be held on the afternoon j of the editorial banquets. Cellophane had its 30th birthday recently: for about a third of that : time it has been a tremendous factor in our life. We try to re- ' member what things were like be- I fore the wonder came. Was every- | thing much damper then? Were ' there noticeably more germs in outfood? We can't remember. The only thing we do remember is that in those days, before almost every i article we bought had to be shelled out of its slippery envelope, it was a lot easier to get at things. We started to figure out how much time we had lost because of cellophane, but suddenly realized there was a fallacy in our reasoning. I We haven’t lost a second. Science, cleverly anticipating exactly this point, has arranged to keep out account with time in perfect balance. The hours she has stolen from us with cellophane she has rendered back, unto the ultimate decimal, with the zipper, the dial 1 telephone, and stream-lined transportation. Peace, it’s wonderful. — Readers Digest. • | Answers To Test | Questions | Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two • « 1. Egypt. 2. George Washington. 3. Hermes. 4.

Feb. 3. —(U.R)— Resi location of the direct primary l>y the current legislative session api peared assured today after Gov. i M. Clifford Townsend indicated his . approval to the senate Democratic I policy committee. Many Republican leaders favor removing nominations from party i conventions and any action taken for a direct primary bill in the ' Democratic senate probably would be passed in the Republican-con-trolled house.

turn of the primary was overwhelming. I Two bills pending in the senate probably will be redrawn. One provides for nomination of governor and I'. S. Senator by majority vote in a primary, the nomination to be made in state convention if no candidate obtains a majority. All other states offices also would be named in convention. The other bill provides for selection of all candidates for the state ticket by plurality vote in a primary. Sentiment for return of the primary first was agitated by the year-long battle between Governor Townsend and Senator Frederick VanNuys over the latter's renomination which produced the old charge of “boss rule” in conventions. Republicans also had a convention battle over five candidates for senator which left a few scars. —Io Adams County Memorial Hospital 0 4 Dismissed —Mrs Eugene Runnion and baby, Jan La Gene. 216 S Fourth Street; Mrs. Julius Schultz route four.

JAP SUBMARINE reported sunk Crippled In Collision With Sister Sub, Fear Crew Lost Tokyo. Feb. 3. -(U.R) ~ Ja T<n crack long-range submarine 1-63. capable of a entiae to the United States and return without refueling. lay at the bottom of the turbulent Bungo channel today, crippled in a collision with a sister submarine. Thirty hours had passed without news from it, and hope for its crew of about 48 was almost given up. Navy ships were nosing out 1 from the great Kure navy base■ at dawn yesterday when the coins--1 ion occurred in the deep, dangerous strait, between Shikoku and Kiushin islands at the southwestern end of the Japanese island group. The 1-63 sank at once. Maneuvers were suspended and 'urgent calls sent for salvage crews. | News of the ship's sinking was i withheld by the navy until midi day today, and this was taken to mean that all efforts to raise it ■or even to contact it had failed. It was admittedly a most difficult task to raise a submarine in the strait, because of the depth and roughness of the water, and thete was the further question whether the submarine's inner hull had been pierced. It w-as announced, however, that rescue work continued. with salvage crews based at the town of Beppit. The 1-63 is one of 12 submarines of the Kaigun type, designed for long range work on the basis PEN CROW Large Lump COAL $6.25 Cash, Delivered. Also Good Yard Slack For Sale. HAUGK COAL CO. PHONE 660
