Now, It's Mrs. Veep. o— —o- — Make your investment pay by investing in your Community Center today. o o— — Only two things are wrong with storm windows: They have to be put up — and they have to be taken down. o—o This newspaper joins in extending congratulations to the nation's most prominent newlyweds. —o o The youth of Decatur will brand Us as defeatists if we fail them now by losing the opportunity to get the Youth Center.

The taxidriver who ran down Novelist Margaret Mitchell and inflicted Injuries which caused her death, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The jury fixed his sentence at one year to IS months. The husband of the author of “Clone With The Wind." was not vindictive about the case, but said "the ends of justice have been met" Maybe the driver was not entirely at fault, but he extracted a terrific toll for a moment of recklessness.

New Operation That Gets Rid Os Corns

By Herman N. Bundeeen. M. O. THE ladies are always loathe to admit anything wrong with their footwear, and yet there must be some significance in the fact that 9<» per cent of those who suffer from coma are women. Coms result from pressure on the bony prominence of the joints of the toes. They can best be prevented by wearing properly-fitting shoes that are neither too tight nor too loose It is also important that the stockings fit snugly, yet no be so short as to cmmp the toes. After a corn develops, the wearing of badly fitting shoes will make it worse. Too-large shoes are just as bad in this respect as those that are too small, since the former cause constant rubbing To get rid of a painful com is sometimes a rather difficult matter. Cutting It out may not be satis, factory since it results io the for mation of a thick scar which is hastened to the bone. This may be far more painful and distressing thsn the original corn. Amputation of the affected toe is sometime* advised but women, particularly dislike this remedy Recently, an operation to got rid of corns without producing any deformity Mi been suCTwleti This I

Giving or Investing in the proposed Community Center should have a good influence toward supporting other projects, such as churches and civic improvements. Once the thrill of giving is realised the financing of churches should be easier, for it takes cheerful giving to build these sacred edifices. To make a good community better, we must continue with our municipal improvements and projects that support the foundation of community life. o o College enrollment in the United States totals 2.456.841, an Increase of 48.000 over a year ago, despite the drop of Ol’s on the campus. These young people are furthering their education so they can take their place in the world and contribute their effort, energy and talent to their communities and nation. It is wonderful that America supports as many colleges as it does, but that i<> one reason why Americans excel! In many other ways of life. O (S— Ohio Democrats probably were disappointed with Governor Lauscbe'a announcement that he would not be a candidate for the I'nited States Senate against Senator Taft. At the moment Lausche'a decision boosts Taft's chances of reelection next November, and his probable nomination two years later as the GOP presidential nominee. Taft represents one thought of Republicanism and has the courage to stand on his own feet. He fights for his cause with the same degree of conviction as President Truman does for his program. o o—- • Back In the depression days when "runs'’ were made on banks and many of the instltu'lons had to close, so many ridiculous rumors were afloat, that newspapers compiled lists of the "Ten Best Yarns." Practically all the rumors were false, but they grew like mountains with each repetition. Today we look back to that period and realise how foolish and fearful humans can become as they listen to dame rumor. But the surprising thing is that 15 years later some people are stretching imaginations as they create rumors about the proposed Community Center. Circulation of these "deep secrets" and falsehoods would put the L'bangis to ahame

operation consists in removing that part of the bone over which the corn Is located. Thus, only a part of the toe bone, not all of It. is sacrificed. This operation was carried out In 44 instances In patients with hard and soft coms and overlapping toes. After the operation, the defect is packed with cotton and the wound is closed. Then a loose bandage is applied. However, no walking is permitted until the tissues sre completely healed. In view of the great difficulty Involved In getting rid of coms once they develop. It can be seen bow important it is to mske tbe effort tq get properly - fitting shoes Should s corn begin, a podiatrist should be consulted at once so that the condition may be properly relieved and kept from getting worse.

CHAPTER XIV Continued

The words look all right when I write them down, but the tone Implied that ho far an ahe was concerned, 1 should be kept in my place as Ivan, the janitor, not invited to tea. Rhe pointedly mentioned that she was taking a course in comparative religion at the lowa University graduate school; and to get Into the conversation. I mentioned the Hawkeyes great football team. Rhe brushed me off with. "I hear It's good," and went on to talk about her tour of Europe last year. Rhe had not thought that Mussolini was good for Italy until she saw for herself how he had cleaned up some marshes. Merle remarked that cleaning up marshes was no substitute for dirtying the souls of men. and they got to arguing about Mack Yavelii and Neechee, whom Merle mentioned In his sermon this morning. I felt that everything this pursuing female said was calculated to impress with her vast Information and culture To me. she Is a '•phoney.” and I am sure Merle will be sharp enough to see thru her. If he has enough sales resistance to resist her first attack, maybe I can promote a date for him with Miss Fern Nygaard, our his tory teacher, who Is as genuine as this woman Is false. Something that strikes my mind as I apeak about Mendenhall as a “phoney”: Rhe talked about Mussolini as a "fine, cynical Italian type.” and Merle cracked that the devil himself could be so described, excepting the word "Italian"; and seemed a bit annoyed. Then she pretended she had been kidding all along just to see his reaction. How about the little blonde who tried to test my reaction Friday night? Maybe my taste In female companionship is not good enough for me to criticise Merle. I hope be Is not so badly entangled emotionally as I am with Dotty. I think It is just the case of a lonesome man and the first woman who dared so brasenly to chase him. not love at all. Mrs. Morrison has a real personality. Rhe Is interested In sports, and even has read about me in the Indianapolis newspapers I could not help but notice how she talked to me about things I am interested in. whlk- Mendenhall talked mostly about herself. When I got to the Igorvich bornestead about 10:«' pm.. Mike was waiting for me He got paid yesterday. drove up to Loftland last night, got into a poker game, and lost it ail. He had to borrow a dol lar from the cop s son who was wHh him for gasoline to get home. I am a soft touch again. I lent him five dollars. He went out to pay bark the dollar and has nut returned. I told him I cannot afford to lend him another cent. But he tries to bold over me the unspoken threat that if I do not lend Mm aeney. be will have to steal ft.

1 have to stop that threat, and soon. Tuesday. October 27 Old Man Hardin Is back from Germany, and he thought my date last night was to study Germany with him instead of Spanish with Dorothy. He han been sold a bill of goods over there, exactly as Merle figured he would. The thing that amazes me is how much of that stuff a little blonde head can hold. We were getting along with our Spanish when I did a bit of gossipping about the woman chasing Merle Hawley, I thought it funny that after Merle had denounced Nietsche and Machiavelli (Dotty knew how to spell them I, Mendenhall should pretend to favor them and Mussolini. Dorothy told me that Nietsche was her dad's favor itg philosopher, and called Hardin into the library where we were translating. Old Man Hardin talked until I was not sure whether to laugh or agree with him. He started by flattering me, hoping that I would stand as a symbol of my race the next time I boxed Frankie or any negro. He considered it a disgrace to white Americans that negroes dominate our athletics, particularly boxing, and hoped that an American white man could become heavyweight champion. If no American was good enough, the Germans had some right to consider us a degenerate race, and would send over their great blond champion. Hardin had seen white men turn and run from Frankie in the ring, and was proud of me that I had made such a stand, with little experience. It might be my mission In life to be the white heavyweight hope. (Such bunkll Then, almost as Merle had prophesied. Hardin talked about the wonderful Improvements in the new Germany. He and other American business men had been received by Hitler. Goering, and Goebbels. and had watched German Youth by the thousands exercise. He pointed out how much better an idea that was than American football, tor instance, where only a few got the exercise while many watched, and I had to admit there may be something to that argument But I got lost when he talked about the “slave ethic” which Christianity had emphasized too much until the weakest and least fit of the race propagated their kind faster than the strong; while in Germany, the weak and stupid are discouraged from having large families, and the bright and strong encouraged He laughed at Dotty and said that in Germany, he was ashamed to admit that ho had only one child, but when be showed Before bo went out tonight.

the perfect Nordic type. Then Hardin got to flattering me again. He wished he had taken a picture of me fighting Frankie to impress the Germans that we Americans were not so weak and degenerate as they supposed. He said some funny things: He saw In me courage and love of battle, that evening I was physically scared of Frank's left hand. But he used words like "ruthless, crm-l. conscienceless" about me as though they were something to be proud of. I was flattered and silly, and told him hod the referee in my Fourth of July bout In Coal Creek had praised my "killer instinct” in stalking Boyle, the cop Immediately after |'d said that, I thought and hoped that those words do not apply to me. If I hurt a man in the heat of battle, I am sorry for It immediately. like my hurting Johnny Douma In football. The prize irony, however, was the expression, “conscienceless. seizing what you want, riding down all who stand in your way.” I should have said. "Then I'll kidnap your daughter and take your money and run over you in your own limousine. If that's what you want In me." But maybe hie words are Just words, and he does not mean them to be taken literally. But if that is the stuff Nietsche writes, and Hitler follows it, no wonder Ivan Senior says that Germany Is setting up another world war. And Merle says the same thing. But that an American would come back saying stuff like that is too much for my little brain! Wednesday, October 28 I have been planning for several weeks to go to the Young Peoples' Hallowe'en Party Ratu r day night, and had said something to Dotty about going with me. Rhe did not say no. But today, she told me there Is another party she wants to go to. at Glenn Ericson's. And that I can go *o ft with her. I ought to keep my first intention, but have a strong suspicion that she will win. versation Monday night, but In pretending I was quoting the sermon. said more than Merle had said, and he caught me: “It sounds like Gerald Hardin has gotten to your ear.” I showed him what 1 had written up in the diary yesterday. and Merle grinned: “I'm proud of your common sense, Ivan, in the face of flattery. I don’t think the Nazis would have found you as susceptible as our hard hegded business man. who appar ently lacks the kind of brains which enable abstract reasoning In session meeting this month, one of the elders asked wbat 1 would do if Hardin Instated on spreading his propaganda at the next meeting of the Pi Mu Fraternity, the men's organization, and my first Impulse was that I would oppose use of any part of the church building for spreading ant (-Christian nonaeuse .

Henry F Schrlcker of Indi ana today refused to extradite Raymond Knoel. 36, wanted In Oklahoma on a 15-year-old murder warrant. Schrlcker said he refused to turn Kno"! over to Washington county.

Paul Wooton Cast Only Vote Os His Life In Decatur When in Decatur on his recent visit Paul Wooton told of two of his experiences in the early days of the century when he lived here. Since leaving. Paul has lived In Mexico and in the District of Columbia, where he had no chance to vote. The only vote he ever cast In his life was in Adams County. In substance this Is the way Paul told the story: "Dan Donovan, now many years deceased, took an active interest in politics. He was an ardent Democrat who specialized in efforts to convince young people of the merits of the policies of bis party. He did a good job of Indoctrinating me and then urged me to vote at an election about to be held. T thought 1 could not vote until I sm 21* I asked Mr. Donovan. 'That rule does not apply in Adams county,' he replied. Tbua reasured. I went over In the court house yard and cast the only vote of my life when I was 20 years of age."
