It is unwise to cash checks for strangers. If they are on the level they will identify theniM-ivee in such away as to protect you. If they don’t want to do that you will probably save mon- y by advising them that your policy is not to do that kind of business. —o—o The Decatur chamber of commerce is acting wisely in its efforts to m et all situations during the reeonvorsiuu period.

The primaries are still three months away but it takes some time to canvas the county and to compl-te an organisation Just now the important thing Is registration and to see that eligible voters are thus qualifled.

Worthman who recently purchased the Schmitt farm east Jf the city Is netting busy with plans to convert It into an attractive residence district. Work on the drainage Improvement will start about March Ist and construction probably early in May. The Plan* include several special propositions as recently publUhed and developments are • xpected to come rapidly from now on. It will be a splendid improvement and will add to the growth of this community. Do you speak PlngHsh? Pingllsh is a term inveul-d by .Edward Samuel. son of Viscount Herbert Samuel. who was Palestine's brat High Commissioner or ambassador from Great Britain. He applied it to the boners perpetrated by Bakatinlans, both Arabs and Jews, who were trying to show their knowledge of English. Pinglish is the sign displayed by a tailoring establishment, “Gents* Fittings Downstairs, Ladies Take A Fit Upstairs." Near by Is another sign, 'Entrance Sideways.- But the prise was the not he of the dam« to honor King Goorge* btr.'aday. f ‘A Gala Festive Daswiug-Baii Will ’ ' A-«

be Belli on the Annual Occasion of the Birth of King Georgs V.'* o—o One of the last home, of romance and the unknown is the air. Years ago. before flying had Imcome common. Conan Doyle, British novelist who created Sherlock Holm.a. had a fantastic vision of air-monsters, like long, filmy snakes, who might inhabit parts of the upper air and He In wait for flyers. To the sceptic's objection that no one lias ever found any. he Is told “No one ever found tig- • rs. either, without visiting the jungles where they live. To find these air-monsters, you must go to the air-jungles.” This story. "The Horror of the H ights," had its acene laid in air-jungles into which the pilot ventures at his peril. While scientists will scoff at the notion as pure fairy-tale, lher are some adventurous flyers who would enjoy the excitement of such strange hunting, miles above the earth. —o Foreign Loons? There are some Americans who don't want to lend any more mon oy to Britain—perhaps many of them. "Why throw good money after bad?" they say. Such an attitude may be bun st and patriotic. and yet not show good judgment. • Britain has stood with America looyally through the greatest of wars, and has given her best to restore the world to decency and cooperation. A rath r mutual dislike for each other, in some ways, has pretty well worn itself out. Different as the two nations arc. we are mostly of similar blood and institutions, and the loss or alienation of either would be a tragedy for the world. Between us stands Canada, as a friend and mediator of both. United we stand, and divided, we would have a lot more trouble than we hav now. The money will probably be repaid. Such a loan Is one of the prop* to hold up this modern world until it gets going again. Defensive Energy:It is well that an Atomic Energy Commission is being established to work with the United Nations in liehalf of national security. The American people, since the first big thrill when a tremendous atomic weapon was used to win the Japanese war almost with onhand. have felt a reassuring sense of national safely. So far, "The Bomb'* has been the most effective weapon ev- r devised by man. and it is lhe purpose of to keep it so. for our own safety and that of our alliee. Obviously Uncle Sam Is not telling, the whole story even to our friend-, but is so closely joined with th m in essential purposes of national safety that there Is no serious question as to our cooperative use of many such devices when II seems necessary. For the pres-, nt. it is probably enough to know that there is said to lie a very considerable Heel of American naval vessels in the South Pacific, engaged in practice operations, and it may lie assume) that new weapons are being given a good trial. Uncle Sam Is. and will remain, prepared for any contingency in peace or war. And like knowledge of such preparedness should suffice to keep the changing world at peace for many years, with lhe joint preparedness of our sea and air craft and other defenses.

Bradley Fights Back At Stelle's Charges Support Piling Up For Gen. Bradley Washington. Feb. « — (UP I — Goa. Omar N. Bradley fought back today against criticism of his handling of the veterans' administration by John Steele, national commander of the American Legion. Bradley said there was "great danger” that Stelie would cause "unnecessary fear aud anxiety” among sick veterans with his charge that VA hospitals would discharge approximately 50.060 veteran patients. "We are not dismissing nonservlca connected cases of any character from our hospitals so long as they are in need of hospitalisation.” Bradley wrote In a letter to mem Iters of congress. He referred to Stelle's latest charges that VA planned to turn out of its hospitals all non-aer-vice patient* or those who acquired disabilities after leaving the armed forces. Stelie had wired all Legion department commanders urging them to protest to congress against the alleged plan. Meanwhile, support continued to pile up behind the VA chief. John Truman, retired major general and a cousin of the presi- < dent, said be would resign from the Legion In protest against Stelle's “uncalled for" attack on Bradley. At Cincinnati, the national executive committee of the disabled American veterans adopted a resolution condemning the "personal attack” on Bradley as "unfair aud untimely.” Bradl-y also said he had not received lhe "bill of particulars” which Stelie said he sent him several weeks before demanding that the VA chief be replaced with a "seasoned business man.” Stelie later said that he would not push for Bradley's ouster — that he merely was pressing for action to take care of the thousands of veterans needing help of various kinds. It also was revealed that Stelie it: his original letters to congress demanding an investigation of VA Inserted an extra statement between the sheets of at least one letter. The statement said that "the veterans' administration wants to kick out the non-servi<e connected cases from their hospitals." Bradley told newsmen last week that no veteran needing care had been pul out of a VA hospital and that none would. He said he would reek no change in the present law. It provides for free treatment of nonservice cases If the veteran will sign a pauper's oath Approximately two-thirds of VA's W.OOO patients are non-ser-vice disability cases. At one time officials considered restricting new admissions to veterans injured in service. The plan was dropped at the request of the White House - One’s attitude should be toward others, charity; toward self, correction.

I District Meeting Os Legion At Bluffton A large delegation of members Hom Adams Post 43. American legion, will attend a district Legion meeting al the Bluffton post Thursday night. The local delegation will be headed by post commander Floyd Hunter and other officers. District commander Ervin Bengs will preside over the session. British Cabinet Rejects Proposal Want Clean Bill Os Health From UNO London. Feh. g-H Pl- British sources said the cabinet today rejected an American proposal for a noncommltal compromise In the Anglo-Soviet dispute over Greece. Insisting that Britain have a clean bill of health from the UNO security council. British quarters said lhe tompromise formula proposed last night by kidward R Htettlnius. Jr., was "out of date." They hinted that a new formula—possibly a variation of the Stettinius proposal—was Irelng dlsciMsr-d. but refused to indicate its nature. The cabiuet. meeting to discuss the UNO crisis precipitated by the firm aland of Britain and Russia, was reported to have reaffirmed the position taken by foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin. Htettlnius had proposed that the council dispose >f the Greek case with a statement by Chairman N. J. O. Makin, with no resolution and no vote. The statement was understood to contemplate no mention of the withdrawal of British troo]M from Greece and to omit any general exoneration of Britain. British sources insisted that British officials saw "no moral justification” for failing to clear Britain of Soviet charges that the presence of the trooiM imperiled world peace Bevin had agreed reluctantly to recommend to the cabinet that the Stettinius compromise formula be approved aw a means of breaking the deadlock. • o ————— The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what yon desire appear.
