It appears that when Hiller' moves to lake lhe poit of Danxlg that the European war will sun. England seems all set to defend its position tn thia regard and will not permit the seUure of lhe port by Germany. With the All-Star game derided. It still looks like the New York Ysnkees and the Cincinnati Reds. But anything can happen in a ball game, aa was shown in yesterday's game when Joe DiMaggio knocked the homer and scored the winning , run. * There will be tree parking, under police protection on Schmitt Field during Street Fair Week for I the Agricultural Show visitors. The geld will be lighted and the entire livestock show will be tent<-d on the site. It’s the place to see the show. Decatur was happy to Welcome today the many distinguished visitors who came for the second annual nutrition conference sponsored by the Central Soya Company. Veterinarians and leading agricultural directors from a half doaeu states were here for the Interest-, Ing pogram arranged by lhe Decatur industry. Many persons have built outside Ore places or ovens aud now enjoy 1 their evening meal, picnic style, right at home. They can be fixed up in good style, convenient and artistic aud afford much pleasure for the family. The agt* don't Mem to bother aud with a good sprinkling of bug and fly killer, lhe picnic nook can be made real in- [ vitiug It you like lhe outdoors, try It. ———— Have confidence In your business > aud build II not only tor today, but with a thought to the future. This ; is a good place in which to do business and grow with the community. You have reason to feel 1 confident that Decatur will continue to be a progressive county seal uud your tailh cun be demonstrated in the pep and vigor you ’ pump Into your enterprise, whether retail or manufacturing. -11 More parking lota will make II J easier for visitors and shoppers to Visit Decatur. Thia is the day of Iho auto and progressive towns must cope with the situatloti and provide ample space tor purklug. Within the summer the lot at the corner of First uud Jackson streets, will be vacated to make room for * new Moose homo and the losing of this space will-reduce lhe present parking area correspondingly What do you suggest to help the parking problem? •■■■■■■■■•■nmwußsssaM According to flukucial reports of the Federal Reserve Banks, there are more idle dollars than

Idle m«m by a million fold.' America Is the richest country on earth and II seems that one of our major problem* la to keep our wealth I working. Money, when expended employs labor and starts the mathlurry which brings good times. It is estimated that four billion dollars In cash arc stored in the banka of the country, coming under the classification of Idle money. It looks aa If lhe WPA scrap la not doing any good, lu ths first place, the wage scale wasn't designed to compete with the trades , and regular employment. The . . whole program is a made-work i i proposition, providing the men | 1 with a minimum of wages In order i . to keep them from starving or go- - i ing on the poor relief rolls. In i moat places many good public 1 projects were completed by the WI’A meu and the present altitude of labor leaden stymies the pro- ! grant and prevents thousands of men from getting a weekly check. Thia year the Agricultural Show < will be grouped on one site—the Srhmltt Field—across the Monroe | street river bridge. All lhe exj hibits. including lhe cattle and - horse shows, the machinery aud j industrial exhibits aud lhe hone pulling coniest will be held during Fair week. July >1 to August 6, | <>n the Sc hmitt Field. The plan is very popular, for It groups all the exhibits aud makes it possible tor visitors to visit lhe tents without walking or traveling to different sites. The grounds will be lighted and policed aud there will be free parking tor everyone. The entire I if acres will be devoted to lhe exhibits and parking and in view to j the proximity of the location to the midway, it is expected that a larger crowd than ever will visit the Agricultural show. This Is the season of large auto ' fatalities, but Indiana can be proud Its dec reaving auto deaths. Jn ' the first five months of 193*, 492 died ou the highways, iu the same period of 1938 the number dropped to 3*B. For the first five months of this year, there was a further' decrease, to 347. The record be- j tug made is all the more significant ‘ ' when It Is known that there are to- j day nearly 42.000 more automobiles ' on Hoosier highways than a year i ago and travel has increased treI mendously. No count of miles I traveled is kept, but gasoline conI sumption is considered an accurate i barometer. lu the first six mouths of 1939, 20,163.603 more gallons of 1 gasoline were used In Indiana than ' for a like period of 1938. a stagger- , ing gain. Stricter enforcement of traffle- laws, safety education and elimination of traffic' hax-uds have* contributed largely to lowering the latallty rate. * GRADE CROSSING WORK: The work of grads crossing cliniination was started by the Roose- | velt administration In 1936 with a : fund of »2tM>,uoo,<MH> for relief work , projects and since has been sup- ; plemc-nted with 613U.01M1.000 of i Federal aid funds. Os the first ; allotment, 81*4.000,0tt0 bus been spent aud the balance- has been ■ allotted for projects near lug completion. with 860.000.000 of the regular funds under contract. In a report just issued by the j Interstate Commerce Commission, it Is disclosed that while 1,617 per--1 sous were killed at grade- c rossings In 1938, the number was 358 fewer than the crosstug fatalities in 1937. a decrease of 23.87 per cent, lujuriea last year were 4,018, about - half of those reported Injured at ' grade c rossings before- the eiliiilnation work started. At present under construction are 6.000 uuderiMcsses or overpasses.

Your Health i (By Robert E. Daniela, M- D.l (Secretary Decatur Health Beard! _____ • "Bad Health Habits" For the past 3o v»ara the leglsla- , tores of the various states have I '-een busy with the problons ot. ir.t dlc-al trainin* qualifications. As s' result, the medical schools of the | country have increased stcedily in I ! quantity and efficiency. Today a ■ graduate of such -.chools must see at least six or seven years of rigor- | <>us (raining behind him and one or I two years of hospital training ahead of him before he goes out tot ! !•« ip solve the riddle of humnn Stitt-1 I et in*. ( For decades the United tates pub- ( | ilc health service has directed all i the power of trained personnel and millions of dollars towards perfect-I in<: the methods by which our pub ilc may live safely with one another with a minimum of suffering and contagious disease. In recent years our scientats and medical researchers have met the challenge of foreign supremacy with such determination that today the United States stands second to none in sheer brilliancy of medical ad-i , tancement. In various sections of the country have arisen great .nsiita'lons and, clinics that are establishing enviable reputations for accuracy ot divgnosl*. They command great admiration tor colossal achievements in medicine and surgery. United States leads the world for' low percentage ot Illness and death rate per thousand. Truly a great v.ctory as the result of the applies-’ tion of truth and laitato a complex problem — the health ot mankind. | When a man's health falls or he 'locorne* afflicted with an ailment I I there is available for him an umax- | j lag mass of skill and knowledge.' The results he obtains ar>- almost: mathematically dependent upon the quality of service that he Is willing to seek lor lilmaelf. As an Individual in our great democracy, he Is privileged to do as he pleases no long as he does not endanger the health or lives of others — public health laws have wisely arranged compulsory regulation to prevent that. Duo to lack of understanding or proper instruction more then anyHing else, alck individuals are (re- 1 quently prone to develope bad' health habits. Opportunities to do an are quite abundant and unless; one is wise and wury. be Is easily, drawn In. For In addition to ttei vugarles and uncertainties of "band me down" hosne remedies and method* there exists an even greater; menace. I refer to innumerable agencies and theories of treatment that have arisen from time io tune along the pathway of medical prvgruss Many number of roads have regarded the projects as aufficleutly meritorious to warrant their assuming voluni tarl ly a portion ot the expense ot cot itructlou. r \ 4 » • ,

of these have taken inspL-xtron lai I-he breast of honest an J sincere I I men but were doomed to failure | because of a bad mixture of foolish i fancy and convenient facts others are the downright devilish origination of greedy cvmmerclalists who see the enotwious possibllßies in the deluding of honest sick folks. I Whether the method has taken ori- ' gin honestly or la deception it mak--1 cs no difference, the majority of the ' ‘ndlviduale who practice It are In- , terested primarily in the nunc-tary rewards that are associated. How does one recognise these promoters of bad health habits? It to very simple. Born out of pure frustration or Ua.ied on a deliberate plan of ducepi lion, they will appeal to the public through the medium of radios, newsI apc-rs. or the mail. Fortlt.ed witn huge "sacker" lists and hired propagandists they make no "bones ' atrout their intention*.

( "Chain stores naturally turned to newspaper advertising to put the ( Mies across." Morrill explained , ' During the campaign, staged at the request of 360.000 organised , dairy farmers, the 130 cooperating food chain companies used approxl- ( mately 8.000 daily and weekly newspapers to carry the dairy sales ( story to a consumer group estimated at not less than 60.000.000 in 48 states, the District of Colum- ‘ bia and Canada. "The Kroger company alone." , Morrill added, "advertised in more { than 1.000 newspapers in the midwest during the campaign." Reports coming from 26.000 of j the cooperating chain stores showed a 17.6 per cent increase In MIM ( of this commodity for November. . December and January above Mies lor the Mose period* the previous , year Some 53.000000 pounds of ’ butter had been sold during those three enontha.
