The public heartily approves of such a plan Speeding over the water at 60 miles an hour, creates too much of a hazard for those in row boats and the practice should stop. Several deaths have occurred when small boats were npset by the waves rolled up by high-pow-ered speedboats. Probably a schedule could be drafted whereby those who wish to race from one end of the lake to the other, could do so during certain hours of the day. without endangering lives other than their own. o -o , Commenting on the probe of trustee affairs in Marion county, the Indianapolis Star, says. “A very good example of what happens when an iron cur tain of secrecy is dropped over the activities of a public agency is the evidence of graft in food

If Baby Has This Disorder Find Cause

By Herman N. Bundeaen, M.D. BABIES are far more subject to diarrhea than grownups. Usually such a condition is due to an infection, either of the bowel itself or in some other part of the bcly. such as the ears or tonsils. Even a cold may produce diarrhea in a baby. in these cases the diarrhea is' likely to be mild and not a great deal of treatment is necessary. With a severe infection, such as a middle ear disorder, the diarrhea may become threatening and more intensive treatment is required In every case, the first think to do is to attempt to determine the cause. In a simple diarrhea, «acb a* comes with a common cold, the baby should be kept as clean as possible and. if breast fed. the breast feeding shpuld bo continued Sometimes, giving the baby a few ounces of water just before the breast feeding Is of benefit. Now and then it may be well to omit one or two feedings and to offer water in its place. Another treatment is to give the baby a few ounces of boiled skim milk before the breast feeding. However, diarrhea of this type Is unusual in a breast-fed baby. In an artificially fed baby, the doctor often finds it a good plan to dilute the formala. removing most of the fat and lessening the, amount of sugar The milk should be boiled for from fire to ten minutes If the baby is receiving fruits and vegetables these should be etopped for a few days.

relief just exposed in Center township. For the past ten years these records have been shielded from the public under the state law concerning, “Misuse of public assistance information.'* In past sessions of the legislature the Hoosier State Press Association has urged the repeal of this nefarious law. as a means of shedding light on expenditure of public funds, and in the interest of good government. o o The engineers employed by the city recommend that fire hydrant rentals be restored to the city's budget as a suggested step in the financing of the proposed water treatment plant. Construction of such a plant is being considered by the city administration, designed to soften the water pumped from the wells east of the Monroe street river bridge. Constructed and successfully operated. a filtration system would be a direct benefit and service to water users. The hydrant rental idea would be taxed to property, it seems to us that the utility Improvement should be financed through revenue bonds, with city water patrons paying the cost for an improved product. Otherwise, local taxes will go so high that the average home owner won't be able to afford modern day conveniences 0 o— — A Fall Fair: The rescheduling of the Decatur Street Fair and Agricultural Show for the week of October 10, will give fair goers and concessionaires a contrast between early and late dates for holding such outdoor events. The Decatur dates are about as late as any set for street fairs and 411 shows, if the fail rains do not come that week, the cool evenings should be enjoyed by the midway walkers Originally set'for the last week in July, the directors of the fair association cancelled the community event with the outbreak of polio in the county. The directors have been advised by medical authorities that by midOctober. the spread of this dread disease will have spent itself While the public seemed to approve cancellation of the fair because of the polio situation, sentiment existed for holding a similar event later In the season. The succeeding days will prove if enthusiasm can be revived for an October fair and agriculture show And it will never be known if a successful fair can be held in the fall months, until the experiment has once been tried. ——o o

doctor. Paragoric sometimes aids !n decreasing the number of bowel movements. Pectin and kaolin aoother preparations sometimes found helpful in the treatment of mild diarrhea, although they have no specif I: action against the cause. In all cases every effort should le made to eliminate infection in the ears or tonsils if it is responsible for th* condition. This may call for penicillin or one of , the sulfonamide drugs. Here again the doctor will decide what is necessary. Diarrhea, no matter how mild, should never be neglected in a haby. as there Is always the chanc» j that It may develop into a severe • condition QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS G. B.: I am thirty-one years old : My fingers turn real white, then ( cause they get bluish. What would > , cause thia? Answer: These symptoms may ccqnr in a disorder known as Raynaud's Disease A physician should be consulted as soon as possible I concerning this disease In mild : forms, it never goes beyond the stage of that frequently seen in chilblains. The hands and toes only may be affected. The slightest exposure in winter causes blue ress which is followed by redness swelling, and aching when the , hands become warm.

"You've wanted to right along. You wouldn't have taken me over the wall with you if 1 hadn’t stumbled onto your little scheme to escape and told you I'd spill the truth to the guards it you didn t cut me in. Ar.d now you're goring shake me!" Chip sighed wearily. "I'm sick of your company, Ute. 1 won t lie about that. I’m just as sick of it as 1 can be. But it happens that you're not being deserted. Singin' Sam will be stacking with you." "There's something mighty queer about you two." Kincade said. “First place, you only drew three years apiece In stony lonesome, and with good behavior you could have cut that near in half. But with only a month of the pen behind you, you Agger away of getting over the wall—a stunt that stuck boys who have been inside for years. And once you got out, you were mighty lucky—almost too lucky — finding that ranch house with 'orses and clothes and grub and guns all waiting for us. I tell you, it's mighty funny." "Haw, haw!" said Singin' Sam with a sour grimace. “I'm laughing at how funny it is. us. dodging Tate Strunk's bullets!" "There isn't time for a lot of useless talk,” Chip interjected. "I want light enough so that the posse can see that three horses sre going down the slope. But I likewise want it dark enough that I'll make a mighty poor target. That's the best scheme I can think up, Kincade. If you're not satisfied, you take the ride down the hill, and Singin’ Sam and me will fade hack into the hills on foot." "You dreamed it up," Kincade grunted. “You do it." Chip walked toward the horses: Bingin' Sam. a dim blotch in the wet darkness, moved closer to him and thrust out a hand. "Sure this is what you want to do, kid?” the oldster asked. "It's the only answer; all things considered,'' Chip said. "You know that, feller. Well meet in that town called Tumble rock — cither there or in Forlorn Valley. Try to keep that prison-locoed killer in line. Failing that, surrender to Strunk or the first lawman you see." They gripped hands hard, two men who were more than partners in penl. and Chip swung astride one cf the horses. Getting s hold on the Dad ropes of the other two mounts, he maneuvered so that he had a cayuse on either side of him. Then, giving his sombrero a Jerk and bending low over the saddle horn, he prodded his mount with his spurs. "Here goes’” he cried and went over the rim of the ndge and down the tilting slope toward, the guns that waited below. fcag.n Sam was shouting some , sort of farewell, but the wind was

in Chip Halliday's ears, and the sound was a blur. Rain had made the slope slippery and thrice perilous, and he went roaring downward, trying to keep at an angle, trying to outflank the posse. The horse to his left stumbled, the lead rope burned through Chip's hand, and the mount went somersaulting. Below, someone shouted, "Here they come!" Thunder exploded and other wild shouts were smothered In that greater sound, but gunflame still blossomed, and Chip felt the tug of a bullet at his sleeve. He wanted to reach the timber fringing the creek, but to do so he had to break through that ragged line of men who'd moved forward from the creek, and he spurred desperately once he had reached the basin's floor. He let the other lead horse go; it went veering away at an angle, and a hoarse voice shouted exultantly: “I spilled one of 'em out of his saddle!" It was darker than the Inside of a pocket, a thick, sloppy darkness, wild with lashing rain, clamorous with exploding thunder. He wondered how it was with the posse, floundering and stumbling through dripping bushes, crawling in the mud and the wet and cursing him and Singin’ Sam McAllister and Ute Kincade for giving them such a night's work as this. He reached the brush bordering the creek; branches tore at him, whipped across his face, threatened to wrench him from the saddle. His horse collided with something solid, and the lightning flared then, and Chip had a brief glimpse of the bullet head and piggish eyes of Tate Strunk, the guard whose heart and soul were made of prison stone and prison steel Strunk was mounted, and Chip could have shot the man out of his saddle, but instead Chip snatched at the gun he carried and sent a chopping blow at the guard's head. Strunk’s own gun was already unleathered, and the man triggered, the darkneaa blossoming redly, and fire burned along the hard flesh armoring Chip's riba For a moment he thought he was going to be torn from his saddle by the slamming impact o. the lead, but he got a tight hold on the horn, and he was plunging onward when Strunk's gun spoxe a"am. This second shot came angling upward, and Chip, seeing the flash, knew then that Strunk was upon the ground, feUed by his blow. Then Chip reached the creek and splashed into It Behind him men were threshing through the dripping bushes, calling and cursing and firing aimlessly, but some, more level-head-ed than the rest were pushing : out into the stream, trying to intercept him. He gained the far I bank unscathed; he through a jungle of bushes, and then ne was upon the level floor of the basin again. Giving his horse its i head and galloping toward the north. Chip fought against the nausea of his wound. Now the darkness was more impenetrable than ever, and thia rain was washing out any tracks ■ ha might be ieavmg j* the rocky i'ground.

Vet Housing Project Receives Federal O.K. Indianapolis. Aug. 24. —(UP)— A 10-unit rental housing project at Hammond for war veterans’ families has been approved by the Lderal housing administration. State director R. Earl Peters said the project was known as Harding Court apartments and that it would be built on Summer St. It consists of two two-story row-type buildings, one containing six units of four rooms each and the other four units of foir rooms each.

and he crossed ths creek twice within the next hour, and he realized then that he'd shaken off any immediate pursuit But still he forged ahead, not yet convinced that he'd fooled th*, posse. Perhaps they'd paused to regroup, perhaps they were chasing that riderless horse he'd turned loose at the slope's bottom, or perhaps they'd found their leader stunned upon the ground and were waiting for Strunk to revive before taking up the chase. Chip didn't know. He lost all track of time and distance after that His wound war. bleeding and weariness sapped his strength too, but he wasted n- moments at trying to fashion a bandage. He was out of the basin within another hour, although he only dimly realized this fact. When lightning flashes gave him glimpses of the Tumble rocks, be fixed his eyes stolidly on those peaks, using them as a landmark and keeping steadily to the north in this fashion. But he knew that this chase was almost over for loth him and the horse. There were limits, and Chip had about reached his. He was a little delirious when he found himself facing the high outlines of a gate. Behind the gate loomed a house, a very large house, it seemed to Chip: and he stumbled off his horse then and fumbled with the gate and got it open and lurched inside. Part of him, the part that still held to reality, warned him that be was a fugitive and that to head for thia house, or any house, might mean capture and his return to the state penitentiary, but the other part of him, the instinct that cried for rest and warmth and food, sent him onward. He came up hard against something made of stone, and he felt it numbly, leit all around it until his fingers identified the object. "A well!" He murmured thickly. "A good, old well!" There was a light in the house, and now another rectangle of orange was etched against the darkness as a door opened, but that r*-’tangle was blurred by something fuzzy and indistinct that blocked it. Chip tried to call out, but the strength wasn’t in him. Whoever was coming out of the bouse was coming toward him, and he put out his hand olindly; and the lightning flared across the heavens then, illuminating the scene with chalky vividness. Two people had left the house. No, three: tor the two were carrying another between them. The two were slicker-clad, and one was a girl and one was a man; that much Chip was certain about. And the one between them was dead; there was something about the . rigidity of nim that told Chip the | grim truth. He'd been a tall man, ' this corpse, and he wore a white , calfskin vest, and be made quits . a load foe the two. especially for , the girl; Chip could see that This much Chip saw and knew, and then the strength deserted Jum, and a greater blackness, a l warm and fuzzy blackness eni gulfed him, aad be ceaeed to know , anything.

Rain drummed on the roof that sheltered him, but it was like the tapping of fairy fingers; the back of the storm had been broken, and the muttering thunder sounded vague and distant. His boots and belt had been removed, he discovered, and likewise his shirt A bandage pressed sgainst his aide where Tate Strunk’s bullet lad creased him. Letting his eyes rove, he saw that be was in a small room whose furnishings consisted of this bed, a cooking range, a table and some chairs. Flowered curtains at the single window gave the place a feminine touch, and a girl was here, seated at the table with her back to the bed. It was right that a girl should be here. Chip knew, but for a minute he wondered why he had expected one. Then be remembered the two slicker-clad figures toting a corpse between them. A sucker hung on a peg near the door, but there was no sign of the man. Chip coughed slightly, expecting the sound to bring the girl around with a nervous start. Instead she turned slowly, then came to her feet and crossed over and stood looking down at him. Clad tn calico, ate bad a lithe, eunoie figure, and her face, oval-shaped and framed by golden hair that fell to her shoulders, was strikingly beautiful Her blue eyes regarded him calmly, and she added, "Bo you’re awake.
