William The Conqueror in the volume entitled The Day’s Work is well worth reading. It is one of his best, having sweetness, poignance and the famous Kipling creation of an atmosphere. The scene is that of an Indian famine some 70 years ago. It should he much easier now to induce Europeans and today’s Japanese to' use corn | than it was then to teach the dwellers in Southern India to eat wheat when they had grown up on rice. —o o To the $400,000 industrial payroll reported here by six major industries, ybu can add whatever additional earnings are received by workers in other plants, stores and other lines of business not reporting to the Chamber of Commerce. This unreported, figure no doubt varies, but probably reaches $200,000 a month, taking retail stores, freight lines, banking, newspaper, filing stations' and other commercial enterprises. While the monthly total may not be the high- , est on record, it is above that * found in cities the sizez of Decatur. Employment is slacking a little, but it is hoped that the new year will start the wheels going at capacity speed. —-o o Why A Limit: Is there any reason why a law of fundamental importance .which has been on the books for 14 years, should have to come up for renewal every three years? This is the fate of the Reciprocal Trade I Relations Act which enabled Secretary of State Cordell Hull to break down many high barriers that stood in the way of international prosperity. Every three years there is a battle royal in Congress as to whether it should be renewed, and if so, on what terms. I Last year it passed only after I many crippling amendments of I which Congressman Bertram W. 1 Gearhart of California was author. Congressman Gearhart was de- | fea'.ed for re-election this fall, and leaders of the new Congress talk of removing the time limit on the act. This does not mean that it would stay on the books forever. It could always be amended or rej pealed. It would, however, no ! longer be subjected to the dangers. of a filibuster or other , maneuver which would pevent its | renewal at the last moment. The Hull Act has been a success. It should no longer be viewed with the lingering suspicion that rei quires it to be reviewed every ■ three years. Ibther laws are revisjed when they go wrong, but not j before; why not the Hull Act?

Does the clergyman receive a fee for conducting a funeral service, and how much? I A. Yes;- the amount depends entirely upon the the family and their wishes in the matter. Q. If you are a house guest, and some member of the family becomes ill, should you stay on for the length of your visit? A. It would be better to leave, unless you know that you can be of considerable help. Q. If one is in doubt, while eating, whether to use a spoon or a fork, what would be the best thing to do? A. In such a case, the best rule to follow is never to use a spoon where a fork will serve the purpose. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur Here’s a real Gift idea.., Have a Spencer designed just for her!
