Time rolls along and up to now ■we are enjoying approximately 20 minutes more of daylight, figured last December 21. It's too early to talk about spring, but if this brand of weather continues, who cares? ——o o Two auto fatalities occurred in and near Fort Wayne over New Years day. In Indiana the death list climbed to a dozen and in the nation amounted to more than 300. It would be wonderful if we could have our holidays without the tragic deaths. If a state primary law is ’put through the legislature, chances are that it will be limited to the nominations of governor and U. S. Senator. Nominations for state office candidates will be made in conventions and unless aspirants for the two higher offices receive a majority vote, .they also will be named in party conventions. o o— While farmer's income may be reduced 10 to 15 percent this year, farm and business publications predict another good year for the farmer. A long range era of agricultural good times is predicted because the Midwest breadbasket is feeding 14 million more Americans and the net population increase is now two million a year. I On that basis, the whole country should continue prosperous. o o The Central Indiana Veterinary Medical Association reports encephalitis among dogs in Indiana polls. If prevalent there, dogs in this county probably have the same disease. This disease involves the central nervous system, causing convulsions and paralysis and is usually fatal. Veterinarians are 'baffled by the disease and are seeking to learn the cause and cure. We hope there is some way to save man's best friend. o—o— Rue J. Alexander didn't outlive his office as Lieutenant-governor of Indiana. His unexpected death just a week prior to his retirement from official office comes as a shock to his Hoosier friends.

Intestinal Tuberculosis Cure

Recently, it has been tried in patients with tuberculosis of the intestines with hopeful results With the passing of time, it has been noted that this drug, when given by injection into a muscle, is in part eliminated through the intestine. The drug may be administered by mouth in cases of bowel tuberculosis, because the drug is| not affected by the stomach secre-l tion. nor is it absorbed to any great' extent from the bowel, so that it; can act on germs in the bowel. The treatment also may be carried out by giving the streptomycin in the form of an injection into the lower 1 intestine Dr. X .Markoff, of Switzerland.l has treated patients with tubervu lost* of the bowel by an enema of the streptomycin solution.

Alexander was favorably known throughout the state. Prior to his appointment to the second highest ' office in Indiana, Mr. Alexander j was twice elected state secretary. His death followed a surgical operation last Friday. o o Congress is in session and the i great legislative body awaits the , message of President Truman on ! Wednesday. Not known for pulling punches, Mr. Truman will speak straight forward on national issues and may even recommend raising | certain taxes, which subject is not the most popular these days. However, the President believes in the old fashioned idea of balancing the budget and unless military appropriations are cut, additional revenue will be necessary. With the death of W. E. Whittinghill of Lebanon, only one Civil War veteran survives in Indiana. He is John C. Adams of Jonesboro. Military burial will be given the veteran who last August celebrated his 100th birthday anniversary. With the few remaining veterans, the final GAR encampment I .will be held in Indianapolis next summer. Thus closes the generation of men who fought to preserve the Union, probably the most notable of all wars waged by this country. Our Faith: Guided by the intelligent hand of J. H. Heller, co-founder of this newspaper, and his half-century been assigned the duties of publish er, the younger men to whom have been assigned the dutis of publishing the Decatur Daily Democrat, and business management, will ii: all sincerity, attempt to dispatch these responsibilities. With others of the staff includ--1 ing the office and mechanical deI partanents, we are co-workers in . one of the world's most spirited daily adventures . . . that of publishing a home town newspaper. It is not a task, because we all love the business. Mr. Heller will not retire altogether from our family of workers. For that we are grateful, because ' we have always received inspiration from him. Yes, it's faith, that we have, in our work. Not so much the faith and confidence we might hold for ourselves and those associated with us. but that unending faith we have in Decatur and community. Always, Decatur will want a better newspaper and this desire will continue to spur us toward that goal!

It must be temperament, a mood. But he had known Donna all her life, had loved her for eight years. She was never moody, never subject to tempers and temperament. She was a happy, sweet-natured, generous girl, sympathetic, friendly and gay. And he could not believe she was teasing him when she said she wouldn’t marry him; she was too sensitive to his feelings and too kind to trifle when his own emotions were deep. “J thought you loved me, Donna," he said carefully. “You've often said so." “I did, Mark, 1 do. 1 love you with my whole heart I would die tor you. 1 would do anything in the world to please you. Except marry you." "You hate marriage more than you love me’" he said tentatively. I “I wouldn't. say that, Mark. They aren't comparable. I love you completely. Marriage hasn't anything to do with it" "Oh. yes, it has. Donna. You're wrong there. Marriage is the natural consequence—the climax, rather, the glorious climax of love. It follows as naturally as the night the day." "A good comparison," she said dryly. “The black night of slavery after the bright freedom of day." "Do you think women get the worst of marriage. Donna? Is that It? I suppose they da I never thought of It that way before. Maybe they da But aren't there compensations. Donna?" "Nothing can compensate. And 1 don't know that women have the worst ot it Not always, anyhow. 1 don't like marriage for anybody, men or women. Love, yes. Not marriage." "Wouldn't it have been a littlewell, more honest, Donna, to have tipped me off to this beforehand? It's been eight years, you know." "You never really pinned me down before."

than anything or anybody in the world. It's nothing against you. It's just marriage, being married." “Do you mean the marriage relationship, Donna ?" he asked diffidently. “Is that what you are afraid of?” “No. 1 am not afraid of that" “It's the responsibility of marriage you don’t want," he said coldly. "The worries, the work, the chance of heartache. You want to be free to step out from under when the fun bogs down and the burdens pile up." "It’s marriage,” she said despondently. “It's everything about marriage.” “Everything but the fun," he reminded her. She offered no denial. Suddenly Mark turned. He took her in his arms, holding her tightly, and kissed her again and again. And again. Donna, taking his face between her two hands, held it to hers and would not release it "Kiss me again, Mark. Kiss me forever." Their lips clung together, trembling. Their breathing was one breath, hot upon their two faces. “Darling, darling." Her lips whispered against him. “It's love that counts. Only love. This is love. Darling, love is enough.” When he moved to raise his face from hers, she clasped both hands behind his head. “No!” she whispered hotly. “Stay, Mark. You're mine, Mark. You know you're mine. Put your lips back, Mark. Love me! Love me harder! Hurt me, Mark!" Mark's withdrawal was rough. Donna, repulsed from his arms, sighed tremulously and relaxed against the cushions. He lighted a cigaret with shaking fingers. “Love that won’t stand up to anything tougher than a kiss," he said harshly, “isn't worth a thing and I don't want it I don't ask much of life, but so help me, 1 want more than that" Donna was shaken. She drooped in the seat beside him, motionless, silent, breathing in troubled, childish sighs. Mark finished his cigaret and tossed the butt out into the snowy drive. “That would seem to be about all," he said quietly. “Shall 1 take you in now?" Without waiting for a reply he got out and crossed around to her side of the car. Always on snowy nights, when she was in evening slippers and gown, he had yarned her the few feet from th* drive to the porch On this night, toa he carried her. And on this night, instead of dropping dancingiy to the floor, she clung to him with tight arms. "Mark." she whispered, "can’t we go on being sweethearts, pals ?" He pushed away the encircling arms and thudded her roughly to the floor. “No!" he said, and strode away to the car. So Donna sat in the warmth of the down comfort in the big chair and stared into the pale night until gray morning crept across the snowy landscape. (To Be CoafimedJ

s Will Reopen Crime h . . ° Investigation Lab Police Deportment Reopens Lob Here I- ■ < 1 Here’s news for two groups of ' the citizenry — criminals, and i those who -want to preserve law and public safety. ] The Decatur police department is t reopening its crime investigation 1 laboratory, which lapsed during the ’ war years. Using a small room next to department headquarters in city hall, Decatur police plan to set up a complete lab to combat crime scientifically. To begin with, the emphasis will 1 be on photographic equipment, ac cording to police chief James Borders. Before the war pictures were always taken of crime scenes, win--5 ning many convictions for the police in criminal court cases. This I practice will soon foe resumed. I All of the equipment is being furnished by the police officers them--1 selves, at no expense to the tax--1 paver, to increase the scope and es--1 ficiency of the department's activi--1 ties. Eventually a comprehensive > laboratory twill be at the disposal of local law enforcement author!1 ies, to pit the indisputable logic of science against the criminal. I Petit Jury Called Twenty-four members of the petit jury panel have been issued ' a venire by the clerk of the Adams circuit court to appear at 9 a. m. Wednesday. The Rickard vs. Rickard estate case is scheduled for hearing al that lime, with Special Judge Byron Jenkins, of Jay county, on the bench. Divorces Sought Harold H.
