The 1940 convention of the American Legion in Indiana will be ' held at Gary, where plana are starting to make it a red letter event, with all the trills necessary tor a good time. The clean-up tn Louisiana is bringing serious results with sui-' cides being mixed with resignations and indictments. Federal authorities seem to have the insiders on the run. Money doesn't always bring bring happiness. Glen Ryan. New York play boy. sfi. eon of the multimillionaire railway king committed suicide by placing his head inside a gas bewter and turning it on. The cool wave is got permanent but should remind us that It's time to think about autumn and winter and our needs tor clothing, fuel and food. It's best to have a surplus in the basement aud the pantry. Don't speed on the city streets. It's a violation of law and a dangerous practice. The police have ord era to arrest those who do not obey the limit signs and should be supported in their efforts to make the streets safer. Koger Babson says business is back to normal, on the 1823-29 level which was the treat ever known in this country. That's another achievement for Mr. Roosevelt and I his supporters, regardless of the claims of the pie hungry. Prices for farm products are going up and that's good news. Perhaps it's the war scare and may not continue long but it's a good sign and we hope it Inals until the farmers have the opportunity to get lheir goods to market. The world to watching with great interest the lest treatment ou Max Harlan. lowa fanner, in Philadelphia. where he to being given a five-day "frozen sleep" to cure cancer. Physicians believe it will result favorably and may be the first of many cures. Germany and Russia have com plated a tton-aggruMion pact, it la announced, which probably means that Mr Hitler has pulled another fast one on the boys. England aud France have depended upon cooperation from Russia and now find It will be difficult to aid Poland. It may avert war and after all that's most desirable. A tax io ralJe a total of about 84.000 is necessary for the library but no one will argue that It Isn't worth the money, of the many improvements that have come the past half century, none compare to the library for providing real eu Wt*. Mr.-at .’■ w-‘ ■ .

Ijoymeni. It has been economically operated and to one of the finest I Institutions we know of. '• The trustee of Wayne township |ln Allen county has filed bls first 1 warrant for the arrest of a relief I chlsclur. who made false rvprcsvulatlun io secure an allowance. This will be necessary over the state. Certainly the money aud help f I should not be given those not en- ) to it tor the bill to large any 1 way and has become a burden * generally. > Advance Information as to the new automobiles is that the cars will be equipped with a "cealbeamed" headlight which will tend ito eliminate road glare. That will I .be a fine Improvement aud will | please every one excepting the smart-aleck who loves to turn his lights ou full blast aud make the | other fellow stop his car or get off 1 the road. Former Governor McNutt spoke to the Legionnaires at the state convention in Bloomington, ex- * pressing sound ideas aa to what■ the American position should be i as to European affairs aud declar-1 ing earnestly tor world peace.. Wherever be appears aud whatever | his subject, this famous Hoosier is looked to with respect and his advice to timely and worth while.

More tban 44.uvo.tKMi cliiseus are affected by the revised federal security act which goes into effect January Ist. providing a substan1 1ial pension for widows and or-1 phans. in cases where the husband t | or father has worked three years. ! When this law to understood it I | should go a long way in proving j that the national and state administrations have been making an effort to make things pleasanter i and safe for the average family. Petersburg. Indiana, is a healthy place in which to live, there being .live poop., there whose total age is 481 years. The oldest is 103 and the youngest of the quintet to 92. which reminds us of the 103- , year-old man who when asked to | what he attributed hto old age replied. "I guess its because I never died." Ils hard to explain old age. • Some of those who live the longest have been 111 much of their lives, some are hard drinkers and smokers, some never use liquor or tobacco, location means Rule and ho it probably just happens. These are teuse days over in Europe aud we shudder as we think what may be just ahead for the people of the countries there. Here we go along happily, think■lug little about the fact that war seems Inevitable over there. Mothers are worrying over their sons, .the march of soldiers to on. soon the guus will be booming and tragedies will pile up. It s something that Khoultl make the world stop, look and listen for no one knows the final results. All we do know to that if war comes there . will be genuine sorrow tor every nation so engaged. If we can keep peace In lhe DemtM ratic family we will win next year, to lhe prediction of James A. Farley, national chairman autl forecaster without equal. Ho was the only man in the < ouu‘try who predicted that President I Roosevelt would carry every state in the Unkm excepting Maine and . I Vermont. ||in guess should moan I somrthiUK and does. Os course no r party cun win U the lenders are I rid Ing horses the opposite direc- ' lion al the same time, but a utdtlied party that will carry on the i fight for the people eau and will I win easily next year. They tell us the editorial page t 1 and the ordinary newspaper will y fade out with television. Perhaps t so. liut it* a long way off for much y perfecting must he doue before e they .an begin to furnish the Items o of interest in pictures aud s lot i- of improvement must he made

all they could dip out on the end of a jacknife blade every morning as a protection against the “ague " By “ague," they meant malaria. It was very common. Os course there 1 used to be acres of uadraiaed swamp land and marshy places. excellent breeding places for the anopheles mosquito, the pernicious 1 Insect whose bite carries the organism of malaria. Today, al- 1 though malaria to by no means extinct, tn our excellently drained and ditehed agriculture area we do not have such a prominent problem of this sort anymore. Os recent months, through the medium of newspapers, we have been hearing of several cases of “R<m ky Motmtaln spotted fever." This is extremely serious. Although lhe cases are few. it is enough to call to our attention that it can occur In Indiana and that it might be well to know something : about It. "Spotted fever" Is fre-' quently fatal. Without attempting a description of the disease, because we are not so concerned about that now. I would like to' (mint out that it can be included among the lusvct-borne diseases. The guilty culprit in this case is t.ie tk-ka cither ftotn the human i< k can be picked up by anybody

in intimate contact with nature, such as campers, picnickers, etc. Prevention consists of removal of the ticks either from the htinjan * or animal witbtu tour hours after attachment. A successful vaccine has been developed but must be used annually for proper protecI lion. Other insects diseases of such Infrequent occurrence as to permit only limited discussion are yellow fever, also carried by a variety of mosquito, and the his-tory-renowned plagne carried by a lowly flea that frequents the bodies of rats and ground squirrels Perhaps the most Important of * ail the disease propagating insects and undoubtedly one of the least respected is the ordinary house fly. For the sake of technical accuracy, we must admit that we cannot property classify the fly as sn , agent in the insect-borne group ot disease In s like manner with the others inasmuch as the fly does not carry germs tn its blood I stream. However, it is beyond a * doubt the greatest dtosemlnstor of filth thst wss ever created. The ordinary fly has more freedom and license than a rich man's son. I ) know of no other living structure that is permitted to make such

outrageous excursions as this little winged demou Figuratively speak lag. be is born "on the other side of the tracks" in privy vaults, manure piles, rubbish besps snd decaying bodies Society in its un etillghtenod state vety obligingly provides plenty of these uatursl breeding grounds. It would be alright it be would stay there, but not so the By. he has a natural roving‘disposition and with a sharp taste for luxury, he quickly deserts his lowly birthplace and migrates to the delightful suround fugs afforded by heaping platters of coffee cake, peanut butter and potato salad. A sticky mouth a new-born baby also provides an attractive place for a promenade. Os course. It can be said of a By that be makes frequent visits to bls old homestead. He never forgets old friends and above all never neglects to bring plenty of “presents'* back to bis new ones. ■ o — COMMON ERROR * Do not say.
