Surely the terrible crime committed in Chicago when little sixyearoid Suzanne Degnan was kidnapped and her little body mutilated and tossed into an open sewer, could have only been committed by an insane jierson. It was the most gruesome crime reported In years according to police and so iar as known was without cause The father, an OPA executive of moderate circumstance., appealed to the kidnaper via radio to return Suzanne, promising him the 820.000 demanded and protection Bom the police. There should be ao let-up by police until the culprit bt apprehended and given punishment that will prevent repeti tlou of such a dastardly crime. —-0-0 — ludMM's vcleraus are exempt trout Indiana grow income lax on

The I ruling covers all rank* and branches of the armed forees. inI eluding auxiliaries.

The bathroom has been called the American yard stick of luxury. Certainly the American proclivity for bathrooms is eyed with awe by European*. Now come some new idea* for the bathroom of the house-of-tbe-future. It is to be a divided room with duplex and triplex fai iiitie . the I i toilet arranged In one compart | m«-tjt. washstands and shower in another so that each ■an be used separately while the Olliers also ' are In use. In these new plans grandmother's built-in washstand Is presented as a new idea. This is a washbowl set in a cupltoard with wide, flat surfaces convenient fur toilet and shaving utensil*, and clewed spaces underneath. Utility room- are Io achieve a new iiigh of popularity in hMMN of the future. These arc to be rooms combining washing machine and I ironer. as well a-, a shower where I dirty little isiys and garden-tnak-I itig fathers can clean up before entering toe main part of the hou«c*. It’s all very alluring, calculated to make any housekeeper discontented with present arrangements * until she -tops t<> think how fori 1 unate she Is to have a teal roof ove. her head at the present moment of thome sboitages instead of tnnrely tlic dream house of tomorrow on paper. -0 Whats Money Worth? Exabanging one country'* coin of the 'realm into the currency of another t* a complicated process for most people. What this would : be for anyone traveling about Europe today can scarcely be imagined. so great is the monetary con fusion. On the eve of the establishment of the Internattoual stabilization fund, the purpose of which i* free and generally convertible exchange, wide disparity exist# in all European countries on money values. Boine of this is due to workings of the black market, some to absence of any price-lev-eling system. Potatoes are at a different price in every French city, butter in Paris is six times its price in Normandy. English pound and American dollar are generally the measuring stick*, thongh the black market give* the pound a lower premium titan the dollar. In Poland the zloty Is officially set at one-fifth of a dollar, but in some section* 800 zlotys are given for a dollar. In Yugoslavia a dollar 1* equal to amounts varying from 50 to 250 dinars In Finland the dollar in the black market bring* from three to six times it* official level. In many eastern countries the local currency I* not yet established enough to be an acceptable medium even within It# own country. The fact that most European countries, even Hiosc with the mo#t chaotic finance*, are joining the Brettun Woods organization promise* eventual unsnarling of these tangles. But fat moat of the countries it will be tong before their currencies can operate a* mediums ot exchange tor world commerce. And those comptoxiltcs are utilj put of the almost indescribable
