No wonder they are talking about the second crop of violets and dandelions. —O-0 Out of town bill passers can only be kept out it an ordinance is passed prohibiting house-to-house passing, or a license fee charged for all who wish to use the privilege. o—o Dog catchers used to be employed to destroy unclaimed pets, while the automobile is doing its part to eliminate others, in induMMbpolia a separate department is maintained in the street commissioner's office to dispose of cats and dogs killed by motorists. From 30 to 50 animals are killed daily. o—o • A boy 18 years of age can't vote, but if physically able, is the first to be called for military service and tight for bis country. While we are changing things why not I give the right of franchise to the youth who has life ahead and car- J rles in his heart a dream of what be would like to bee America be in another geueration. —o —o National recognition has come to a former Hoosier, Dr. Frank Aydclotte, Rhodes scholar, famous educator and since 1931, president of Swarthmore College, which position he is resigning to become director of the Institute for Advance Study at Princeton University. Dr. Aydelotte was born in Sullivan, graduated from Indiana University and is one of the foremost educators in the country. -O—o The Decatur Catholic high school students will publish a quarterly school patter this year, instead of the annual. Tattler, which was Issued at commencement time. The Student body voted to uamc it, "D. C. Hl Light." It will be Issued In newspaper style, about tabloid slae and with more frequent Issues will give the students more practical experience and opportunity for creative writing. A staff of 30 aludeuts will contribute items for the paper and It promises tn be an entertaining and instructive objective during the school year. Mb ' Every good wish is extended to lite staff. —o--Colonel Lindbergh may be criticised for his statement, but he isn't so tai wrung in taking the slant that Canada shouldn't go to war without due consideration tu the Lulled Slates. Canada, although a dominion of the British exown. u asperated Uom ths mother country by more than two

thousand miles of ocean and Is therefore closer to the United Htales. Its actions therefore concern us. History may be made within the next century that Can- ’ nd* will become a part of the United State*. Then North America would be one unit and Europe 1 could tight as much as It would ' like, without involving this continent. And Canada doesn't have a more sincere neighbor than the ’ United States. 1» O 1 J About the only definition of war , that remains the same Is Berman's * emphatic and understandable state--1 ment. The world war brought the trenches and airplanes and the advent of the submarine. It uow looks like the present European fracas is going to be waged In the mm and by submarine entirely. I Germany hue knocked off one of the big British battleships and several smaller ones and appears to have something In the way of . undersea destruction that has England and France worried. The' ' troops on the Maginot and Belgfried lines may not be as Important as the small crews that man | l the submarines, and as successful : . as they have been it might change I i the whole conflict. Tactics and I strategy are at least different and ' who can tell what the present war ! will bring. o o j Concerns affected by the Federal I wage-hour law are adjusting ached-■ ules of work weeks and If necessary. pay slip*, to the new provision* of the law which become j effective October 24. x While the I maximum hours per week are reduced to only 42 thia year, next year the ceiling will be 40 hour* and as far as possible most em- j ployers are adopting the 1940 schedule now. The minimum un-, der the law is 30 cents an hour and time and one-half for over-1 time. In this section of the coun-| ' try the wage scale will not be I - 1 boosted greatly. because few, if ■ ' any industry, had a scale much, ' under that amount. The compliance with the law is being made without much fuss, the basic law having been operative for a year and since the NRA days most em- i ployers adjusted wage scales and! work weeks at that time to con-1 form to the present law. o—o Browuslowu. Indiana, and circles of the Hoosier State Press AssoI elation and the Democratic Edi- : lorial Associatiuu will not be the i same without Andrew J. Brodhecker, editor and publisher of the Brownstown Banner, whose death ’ occurred Sunday. Mr. Btodhecker was 70 years of age and was publisher of the woekly paper in his home town for nearly a hall century. He was an outstanding citizen of the state aud was widely known in newspaper circles. His home town looked upon him as its leading champion of community life and endeavor and several years ago the citizens of that southern community presented him with a loving cup. For his weekly newspaper he won several awards, including the Sigma Delta Chi silver cup for the best weekly in the state and in 1931 won the cup of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association tor publishing the outstanding editorial of the year. Mr. Brodhecker was a former president of the stale editorial association and was honored in many other organisation* of the Fourth Estate. Hl* death removes a lovable character of the state, a man of merit and a cherished friend. ' '■■■ --O ' — YEARS AGO TODAY j Oct. 17—Reception is given Dore B.

ONE important phase of the landscaping division of the Stale Highway Commission is the improvement and beautification of highway intersections. This work not only improves th* looks of th* highway system, but more clesrly defines the traffic lanes for motorists. Many accidents have heretofore taken place at highway intersection* because <J>e lanes were not clear to motorists approaching at high speed. Thi* work has had the active approval gnd support of the various women’s clubs throughout the state.

FLIERS BUTTLE OVER RECORDS - - — California, Indiana FUan Both Claim Endurance Record Los Amielea Oct. 17 <UJ9 A controversy on an unstable footing raged today between four young filer* and It was expected that the California and Indiana chambers of commerce would enter it at any moment. It was a heated argument over whether Clyde Shleipper and W.t Carroll, of California, uow soar Ing lnu» their IRth day of an endurance flight, or Kelvin Baxter and Robert McDsulels. of Indians Mill aloft over Muncie but 73 hours in arrears of the California team, shall lie credited with the light plane endurance record Both team* have smashed the old rnaik set by the Moody hroth-i er* of Bprlngfleld. 111., at 343 hours and 4« minute* while Hying a land plane. And it I* the difference In the type* of plane* Hown by the present contestants which provoked the controversy. , Baxter and McDaniel* are aloft in a light cub monocoupe equipped with wheels; Shleipper and Carroll are Hying a land plane but it has pontoon* instead of wheel*. The Indiana pair claim this nullifies the Californians' claim to the record set by the Moody* "But we're flying over land, and beating the record." read a note dropped by Shleipper-Carroil on the floor of Rosamond dry lake over which they are soaring The .Muncie fliers said the argument had already been decided by the civil aeronautics administration which ruled the Bblelpper-Carroll ship a seaplane, and thus gave the land plane record to Indiana A split-record was reported to be under consideration Tile Indiana team would be given the land record and the Californians the seaplane record. What the seaplane record la. the flier* said | they had noi learned yet A third team dropped from the race. Troy Colboch and Jerry!
