The Yankees fooled around too long last season and when they really got down to cases, just couldn't stop the Tigers. —o Listen to or read Governor Hchrlcher's spews It at the editorial banquet in Indianapolis tonight. He will give the basic points for the IMS campaign and when the time comes will lead Jiis party to another glorious victory because be is right. Os course thqre will be higher federal taxes.

And we will all complain ot c oursu Yet we are Metter off than the people of any other nation and those who have good health and a smile, will still find many things to make them happy. O—O Automobile manufacturers have agreed to reduce the number of cars for IMS by twenty percent, which will probably meet all requirements. The output this year will be as large as ever and may reach a new high. All possible effort to increase defense production will be the goal of the large auto Industries. --O o There Is sorrow here over the death id Rt. Rev. Megr. Charles II Thiele, 7X. for forty-six years rector of St. Peter’s Catholic church at Fort Wayne and a priest for fiftythree years.

tic. The presidency Is a tough Job for ally ou»- lu times like these and we are fortunate in having an experienced and capable leader to keep th* democracy alite and our people together, 1 We should appreciate the fart that we have our churches and ' schools and shrines and public , buildings and parks and business house* and homes intact. In many I countries thousands of these have ! been destroyed and it's not safe to * use those that arc standing. We J also have free press and free , speech, a <<>upl«- ot basic things 1 worth fighting for if necessary to defend them What If we do have to pay a tew dollars more taxes to th. federal government next year? If we can keep •he War away from our shores, that will lie cheap. What about those countries In Europe where taxes are much higher and where the savings of a life lime or even of gem-ration* are wiped out by bombs in a tew mumciits? We aie still mighty lucky and we must look ahead in a manner to keep us that way. o—o Joseph M. HcbeUck. movie magnate, who c ame here from Russia I as an emigrant forty eight years ago and whose income lor I*3*-36 was mor, than a million dollars, has been found guii'y of defraud iug the government on his income tax report, bolding out IXbtt.OOO. He faces a prison term and a flue up to 130,000. He will also surely feel that In did a great, wrong in defrauding the government of a country that bad been as good to him as the United State*. At bls age and with his great wealth the extra few thousand he should have paid look* cheap —- Hixty-eiKht Adam* county boys Went to Fort Wayne today for final examination, which, if they pass will enter them in training camp*. They are. as ard all those who have been called from here, fine lad*, who we are sure will prove a credit to the community. The present camps are aa claimed for them, training fields, lu which the young men arc taught many things besides bow to use firearms. The year will soon roll around and here’s hoping that every one of them returns with a better knowledge of the world and with (rained bodies and mind* to re-enter in the dally work that keeps a good com muuity moving forward. —C Some day the war will be over and the- world will In-gin plans for reorganisation, for rebuilding, for living conditions that will bring as much joy as possible in an area ruined by bomb* and tire and shells. When that period comes, there Is sure to be a let-up lu busInes* and It is probable that many will b<- out of employment. The president is planning to prevent as much of such a depression as possible, to avoid inflation and otherwise to make it as easy for the people- of America as he can. but It is wise to look ahead. Remember these easy days will not continue always and those who establish a systematic saving now will be better off than those who fritter it away. O—O FREEDOM OF THE PRESS: The President's assurance to the American Hociety of Newspaper Editors that there will be no cur--1 tallrncmt of freedom of speech and of the press is important largely because of the effect it may have abroad. Few In thia country look seriously any talk about censorship. and those terr were of the ' type that have tittle understanding 1 of the rights ot Americans. The President cove red the whole subject when he said freedom of speech and of the press is a constitutional abstract ion. The Constitution even prohibits from making any laws “abridging the freedom of speech, or ot the ■ press.“ It is fundamental and

FORETELLING THE WEATHER BY STEAM Tin- white plume <>f Meant from 4ii engine tell* you what the weather for the m-st Hl* or twelve hours ahead is going to be in your localtty When the plums of steam from the engine rises rapidly into the air with a tendency to Quickly vanish I then ypu know that the weather to <om« I* going to Im flue. The aim will shine, the sky will he blue and the alt will be cool and brisk. But if the plume rises sluggishly or perhaps it doesn't’rtse at all, but falls, lingers and spreads, then beware of a coming storm. The sun may be shining at first when the plume of steam begins to lop over, iMit soon after you will see it gets cloudy, and later rain will fall. You can go out without your overshoes, raincoat and umbrella whan the plume of steam from the engine moves up. but if you are wise you will take your rain clothes with you when you see the plume of steam refuse to rise. Foretelling the weather by means of steam from an engine is based <m the soundest scientific tacts. You see. before it can rain the air overhead must contain a great deal of water rapdr. It is the condensation of this water vapor that makes the rain. If there is only a smalt amount of water vapor in the air. then of course, it cannot rain Now, water vapor weighs only halt as American that the people should be permitted to say what they think. So long as there is trial by jury in this country nobody could enforce a law gagging the popular*, even if Congress were to enact such a statute. Hut ireedom of speech does not mean flceuse to abuse that privilege. Neither the press ner aay loyal citizen knowingly would say anything to the detrimetft of the common good. Those in authority know that and rely on the press to cooperate. The President s declaration that any editor who dtadgrees with what the administration is doing or the way that It is being done ' Is at liberty to say what he thinks, and that should be Interesting reading in Berlin Rome and Tokio — 1 Indianapolis Bur.

On cloudy, murky days the air weighs appreciably less than It does on bright, clear days, because then there Is a great deal of water vapor in the air. Conversely, on clear days the air Is extra heavy. You see. the plume ,4 steam from an engiud floats in air. If the air is heavy and Bum «“t contain much water . vapor, then plume of sleam floats easily goes up just like a balloon ’ goes up. and as it rises It evaporates. turning into Invisible vapor. But if there is a great deal of water I vapor In the air lu front of a storm, the air is less dense, and no ' it cannot support a plume of steam I so readily Bonx-times U cannot support one at all. and so Ute steam i instiwd of ibing, falls down. BeI cause there la so much water vapor . already there, the air does not . readily pick up more, and so the i plume of steam lingers a long time without evaporating Watcb these 1 things the next time you are near - an engine, and learn to foretell , weather by watching steam.
