Q„._QThe gross Income tax has been a life saver in Indiana and we sometimes wonder why the legislature and (lovernor Gates rushed through additional taxes, Indud Ing the three cents levy on each pack of cigarettes. For the year dosing June 30, the state collect- 1 ed more than .71 million dollars j from gross income taxpayers, an increase ot eight millions over a year ago. Since 1933. the state has collected *409,125,909.54 from the Income levies. O Q From the late President Coolidge's state of Vermont, noted for its granite and Republican conservatism, comes a United States Senator who is a co-author of a bill to increase the salaries of 172 federal officials, Including cabinet members by some *650,000 a year. Those with cabinet rank would be boosted **.ooo making the annual salary a cool *20,000. Undersecretaries would get an increase of *5,000 a year, to help them along with the high cost of living. There must be good reason for such increases, or the Vermonter would have shied at the suggestion of boosting the federal payroll.

A Wound That May Be Serious

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. D. NOBODY likes to make a fuss about nothing and somehow or other for most people a wound of the hand aeems to fall Into this category Valera there is a great deal of bleeding at the time of the Injury or a bad infection later on, we feel the matter scarcely merits the attention of the doctor. Quite the reverse is true. A wound which seems trivial at first may have serious consequence for the reason that, on the hand, nerves, tendons and other important structures lie close to the surface If one of these is severed, use of the hand may he lost unless given prompt attoatton A Sterile Dressing According to Dr John £.

Including aluminum extension ladders, which have ; long been an uigent need of the deI partinent. The pumper has a capacity of delivering up to 1,100. gallons of water per minute and j other modern features are incor- ' porated tn the “fire horse.' If the! , city has been penalized by the insurance underwriters for having .inadequate or obsolete equipment.

We join other newspapers in the state aud middle-west in extending congratulations to Fred A Miller, president and editor of the | South Bend Tribune, one of the country' s finest, well edited and i serviceable daily papers. Mr. .Miller is completing sixty years of J : service with the Tribune, founded 1 ■ by his distinguished father in 1872, | and although at the age of SO. j still remains at his post and di- . recta his newspaper.

Our forefathers. 171 yeara ago. gave us Independency There is no advantage having cither endowment if we don't safeguard our lives. Many lives are ruthlessly and needlessly thrown away in activities over the Fourth. Many accidents are preventable. peaceful and enjoyable pursuits often become tragedies through carelessness and neglect of fun <larn(»nt4fs which mean for per-, sonal and public safety. While in your car, observe the old admonition of driving care- i fully. Don't try to beat the big Iron horse across the railroad tracks, or pass another car on the highway, while climbing a hill. Many a driver has met the “brick wall" while seeing if his new car would do 80. Don't venture out in deep water if you can't swim Don't be a jerk and rock the boat. In Indiana, we need not worry about the dangers of firwcrack ers, since the statutes outlaw the blasted things. Finally, don't take silly chances in your ventures as you seek relaxation and fun over the Fourth.

Then, too, it is important to find out if any of the tendons which connect muscle to bone have been cut. Once a pbynician has determined the extent of the tissue damage, the patient is taken to the operating room, given an anesthetic to put him to sleep, and the wound is repaired. In doing this, the *kin around the wound is cleansed first with soap and sterile water. Then the wound iuelf is cleansed and finally washed out wits a warm, sterile salt aoluUon Here again, some physicians prefer using antiseptics.

chapter twenty-six THE PARKWAY was usually crowded with other cars. But, as dusk deepened to darancss, Diane would seem shut in alone with Bill. Bill would draw her head against his shoulder. “Comfortable, darling? Let's not talk. It takes too much effort." It did. and she liked to relax against him, watch the small harbor lights ta-low them, feel a ghost of a breeze against her face. In such moments she was at peace with herself and the world. But mornings a vague restlessness drove her to the straightening of desk and bureau drawers, already reasonably neat, to cleaning corners and cupboards which had been cleaned the w’eek before, experimenting with new and complicated recipes. One task finished she looked about her with almost feverish determination for another. Then at times her zeal abruptly left her and the apartment became too confining, and she put on her coolest dress, went down to her car and drove out to the open country. Over any highway except the Duell Road; resolutely not the Duell Road! Until one afternoon when the > desire was too strong to be resisted. She eame to the creek, the swimming hole, the white house against the hillside. Its blinds were closed, its shed doors. They'd gone, the woman and the crippled man and the little boy. But the “For | Sale" sign still hung on the post by the road. Diane looked from it to the house, sat with her hands tight on the steering wheel, and looked for a long time at the house. But she did not get out of the car; she swung abruptly around and retraced her way to the city. She did not go back to the apartment. She turned into Oak Avenue and stopped at her father's house. Paula'd be home. Paula never went anywhere. Lucky Paula, who had no puzzles to work out, thought Diane, running up the steps to the door. Today she found her father with Paula and Paula packing two big open bags. “I've got to see a man in London.” J. Emmet said to Diane. Jxmdon! And Paula was calmly examining the heels of a pair of J. Emmet’s socks before she folded | them. "I'd be throwing things in," : thought Diane with a deep, irre- ■ sistlble envy. V Her father's shrewd eyes saw it on her face. "Come along with us, chick. We're only staving over a sailing. Say the word and I’ll wire for another cabin." He added, gruffly: ‘That young fellow of yours oughtn’t to object to you giving a little time to your old dad!” * Diane was tno excited at his suggestion to resent the way he spoke of Bill She "Dad, I'd love to go!" It was instantly reasonable, perfectly pgesible. Three weeks wasn't l°n< Bi" had tills new case to work on; he could atay at his mother A

A demonstration was given by Virginia Mitchel on "How to Set a Table." Mrs Mitchel then inspected the girls' sewing and gave some helpful suggestions. Refreshments were served by the hostess. Miss Corson, assisted by Carrol Mcßride. Fourteen members and three guests were present. The next meeting will be held July 9 at on thirty OTlock at the home of Marjorie Heiman.

J. Emmet was smiling now. "Be ready to take the morning plane?" Flying! She could do it a million times and each would have the thrill of the first time; shipboard and its gaiety, London! Diane's mind raced over all the trip offered, caught at details of her going, disposed of them. She could press her formal things tonight; that spun wool dress of her trousseau would do for day wear on the voyage, In London, too, perhaps; she could have her hair done on the boat, first day out—’Tell Bill it won’t cost him anything!" Paula turned a warning glance on J. Emmet. But Diane was too enraptured to see it She threw her arms around her father’s neck, hugged him. "I’ll phone as I soon as I’ve talked to Bill! It’s . like it used to be. isn’t it? The . three of us dashing off somc- - where!” > "Did you hear what she said?" ■ demanded J. Emmet of Paula after ■ Diane had rushed away. "And the i way she said it?” But Paula let J. Emmet stand ' scowling down at his cigar and went on quietly with her packing. , Diane had her clothes scattered . over the bedroom when Bill came , in. He found her sitting on the > edge of her bed, considering a > green chiffon evening gown of last winter. ! “What's all this, DI?" - She ran to him, “Bill, Dad and ■ £? <lla are S°ing to London! t They're flying to New York to--1 morrow and sailing—really I don't I know on what boat or just what > hour. And Dad's asked me to go j along!" She stood before him, her r face radiant over the filmy green , of the dress still In her hands. “You’ve said you'd go?" Bill's ■ tone was sharp with surprise. : She thought it was his dislike of her spending any of her father's money; she cried, im.m- --' tiently: "Bill, forget your pride, just for once! After all, I'm still i Dad's daughter!" atMtened. "It happens, In this Instance, that I'm thinking of your condition. You might be seanick and you're certain to exhaust yourself sightseeing. I consider it is within my rights, under the drcumxtances, to forbid even a plane Diane had not expected this. She Stored at Bill, not able for a moment to believe he was serious Then her eyea blazed. "My condition! Yw make me hate—being this way!

"And you'll see ■ my objections to such a trip I very reasonable when you quiet ; down.” Suddenly Diane was quiet. But i It was a too-stiil quiet. She moved ■ away from him. "Dinner will tie ! ready when you are.” She put the dress on the bed, went out of the • room. After dinner she telephone*! to i her father. "I can’t go. Dad. There i are major obstacles.

"Ate you - s sorry you married me, Di?” "No." Then Diane threw herself I against him, clung to him. It was I frightening to hear it in words. , "No,” she repeated against his I shoulder. He held her, gently, and her ' panic subsided. I-a ter, sitting close ■ to him in the car in the dark of the parkway at the waterfront she said: "I'm really not crushed, Bill, about not going. It seemed a grand idea at the moment, but I'd have missed you terribly!" She had had time to realize that; she wanted him to know that it was the impossibility of separating herself from him that had brought her to reason. But Bill said: "If you’d told your father how things are he never would have suggested it Don't you think, DI, it's time—” Diane shook her head. "You're funny, Di! With no mother of your own to go to, I should think you’d like to talk.it over with mine!” “That’s what I DON’T want to do,” Diane cried, before she could check it. She was sorry, instantly for she saw Bill look puzzled and a little hurt. And there was no use in trying to explain to him her reluctance. "Anyway, not for awhile, Bill,” she added, pleadingly. Bill laughed. "Well, you’re going to have a good time out of it when you do, Di. Mother'll bring down the old cradle from the attic. It’s one of those old wooden ones with rockers. I don’t know how many Ardens have used it, but It goes a long way back. There’s a silver mug around , somewhere, with 'William Beresford Arden’ engraved on it and the year eighteen hundred and fifty-four. Mother'll dig that up—" "And MY family will supply the silver spoon!" But she caught that ‘*l Um< ’ * l K hin & inwardly, a little shamed and wearied by her perversity. “A good time.” Bill had said and she was hating it before it began. (To Be Continued}
