Probably a majority of New York City's eight million people would vote for a mayor who would decentralise the big town. —e—U—- .. An Italian Inventor claims that he has succeeded in the wireless transmission of electric power. And he could be right, for whoever thought of sending pictures through the air and Into your TV set a hundred years ago. 0 o An Alabama woman wrote to the governor of the state asking ■' him for a permit to bootleg whisky. She wanted to be on the safe side of the law, but the governor suggested that she try another way. ~ —-0 To our way of thinking the Aga Kahn is spoofing his people about the importance of his role as spiritual leader of the Moslems. This wealthy individual announces that he will be absent from his country until next May, while residing in his villa along .the French Riviera. 0 0 1 The farmer isn’t so much interested in Ezra Benson’s reorganization of the agriculture depart- 1 ment, as he is in the revision of his farm policies. The department* is largely clerical, while a farmer’s job is producing food at a price that pays him tor his investment and toil. ' j\ , —o , Celina was struck by a disastrous fire which burned five buildings in the business district and did considerable damage to utility lines. While the fire means personal loss to individual owners, the city will get more modern buildings to replace the old structures, lessening the future fire hazards. ' o——o \ Calling a person a Red is sufficient ground for a libel suit, a\f . New Jersey judge rules. This decision, which follows those made In some other courts, is sensible. Few epithets coiild damage a person more than the charge of being a Communist or a Red. No one in his senses would call another a thief without being prepared to ■ justify the charge. The same should hold true with accusations of Communism. 0 0-— ' • • .

Causes of Simple Earaches Vary

By HUMAN It KMMSSN, HUB. THE family physician muat often turn detective when confronted by a simple earache, for ths ear pain may be due to many different causes and not always to a disease of the ear itself. A physician examining the ear, with a special instrument known as an otoscope, can usually diagnose the cause of the ache. With thia instrument he can determine whether there is any infection Qt disease of the outer canal of the ear dr outer ear which could be causing the pain. • > Referred Pain In a like manner, he can de* termine whether the ear drum' shows any signs of middle eat disease. Once these conditions of the ear have been eliminated aa causes, the pain must be due to some other disease around the ear or of store distant organs with the pain referred by nerve distribution to the ear. It has been estimated that as high as fifty per cent of the cases of earache are due to causes other than ear disturbances.* Dental diseases probably account for a larje percentage of

will produce a minimum of 60,000 kilowatt! of electrical <energy, enough to supply a city of from 60,000 to 100,000 poulation. It is encouraging to see progress being made to turn atomic power to peaceful uses. Our government has feared that if Russia should seise the lead in the race for industrial uses for atomic power the Kremlin might attempt to trade nuclear power technology in exchange for uranium and political loyalty. The United States is now competing with Russia in finding a constructive use for atomic power as well as in the costly armament race. It has been predicted that once\ the power of the atom could be harnessed a new era would be ushered h|. We Save solved the secret of the atom but we are just starting on the jo|) of putting it to work for man’s benefit instead of his destruction. The development of the atomic power plant will serve that end. \ V. ■—o o •'' / ■ ■ ! ' v School Census:— No canvass, survey or community evaluation report ever undertaken here has been more Impor- « tant than the census of school , children within Decktur’s corporate limits that will get underway blight and early Thursday ingMeeting at the Decatur high school for final instructions and to receive supplies, more than 100 women will join the volunteer army of canvassers that vHll call at the homes to “count noses” of all children, who are attending or will attend the public schools. Directed by the educational division of Indiana University and under the supervision of Dr. W. M. Barr, head of the research division, the survey should give school authorities and all citizenry the answer to one potent question: “How many children of school age are there in the city”? This information is vital to Decatur’s decision in providing proper building facilities for our public school children. • /The Indiana University educators will then evaluate the city's present facilities and future ? building needs, if needed, on the factual information of the houser to-house enumeration of children.

these cases of false earache. Large cavities of the molar teeth frequently bring earaches even before the teeth begin to hurt. Disorders of the saliva-produc-ing glands of the mouth frequently cause ear pain. Following Tonsillectomy Any form of ulcer or sore may also be at fault. Certain tonsillar disturbances, such as tonsillitis, will bring severe ear pain, and it is not uncommon for a person to have a severe earache following a tonsillectomy. V Os course, in treating cases of ear pain due to causes other than the ear, the true causes must be sought out and cured. Once this is done the earache will also disappear. QUES-nON AND ANSWER R. A.: Recently, X had a bullet wound in my leg. I was given gas gangrene antitoxin. Was this necessary in my case? Answer: Yea, gas gangrene can frequently develop after bullet wounds and, since this disease is very dangerous, the administration of antitoxin is a wise precautlon against this dlseaM.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THRKifI NANCY had' wanted to see Dave Armstrong, too. She had thought about Dave halt a dozen times that day. His new work was going along famously, according to reports that nad come to her. Already he had received an advancement in his department. It would have been nice to have Dave come to the house that evening. Nancy had half-played with the idea all day that Dave and Lucy and she might go to a movie together, possibly stop at Joe Deutsch'S case afterwards for a bite to eaL Joe’s place was homey. They could find a table at the far end. They could talk and laugh and Nancy could try to catch the threads of her old life again. The life chat she nad been so ambitious to run away from, and which, now from the perspective of few months, seemed to have a sweetness that she hadn’t realized under the torment of worry over lack of money. She had played with the idea of being with Lucy and Dave that evening and still the day had gone by without her having done anything gbout it. Phil Stanley said he was going to count oft the minutes. She nad four minutes left. If she wash't ready at the end of the five minutes he'd— Nancy replied that he could stand there until Doomsday, she wasn’t going lo go with him. She knew now, that she was. Still it was a merry little game, Phil trying to look stern and she trying to look adamant Phil counted off another minute. He was tapping oft the passing seconds with a well shod foot Nancy watched his foot Nice shoes, she thought They probably cost a kit of money. As much as she had earned In a week pounding a typewriter, perhaps. V . Phil touched his tie, tugged at his collar. Nancy’s eyes followed his hand. An imported tie.\ probably. From England. A tie could tell sp much about a man. He ran his hand over his hair. An aristocratic head . . . well groomed . . . clean, definite hairline against the white of his skin . . . Dave had a well shaped head, too . . . Dave was big and clean and ... Dave had never paid more than ten dollars for a pair of— Phil raised his eyes. “What are you standing there dreaming about? You have one more minute." The light in his eyes belied his threatening tone. • . ' Nancy left to powder her nose. She stopped at the office to telephone that she wouldn't be home that evening. J Sam Sykes answered the 'phone. His voice gave Nancy a sickening feeling. Was he never going to find a job and get out of there? z : . . e o o The music of Benny Goodland's orchestra at the Club Madrid served Nancy as a good antidote to the sound of Sam Syke’s voice. In Phil’s car all the way out to the club-restaurant she could hear

his voice. There was some note in it that she intuitively disliked. Sam and Moira; had been at the Kelly home off and on for weeks now. Sometimes Sam said he had business out of town, but he always came back with indefinite stories about what the business was. Sometimes ne had money to pay Mother Kelly for his and Moira's way, sometimes he had nothing but excuses to offer. Moira had been pestering Nancy for a job as a model in the shop. Nancy nesitated, put her | oil, though Mrs. Eustis had mentioned several times that a striking looking girl with a good figure should be employed to display dresses. Moira fit these qualifications, Out she nad the drawback of being too gabby and inquisitive. Nancy knew that Moira was a throwback to some Kelly who must have lived in the long ago. There was nobody in the whole present relationship cuite like her. Certainly she couldn’t see Sam Sykes in the light that Nancy saw him. When they were seated at a table in the Club Madrid, Phil suggested a lobster dinner. He ordered the right wines, then stood up and said, “We dance, do we not?" There he was again. Positive in act and statement, charmingly so, perhaps, but positive Just the same. Nancy had experienced his charming positiveness before. She tried to decide whether she liked it very much or whether she didn’t like it at all. Phil had been charmingly positive when she had gone to Oconomowoc lake that day to iceboat. He had been positive, certainly, .when in the snow isolated lodge he had twirled her around and she had found herself fast in his arms, his Ups crushing against her eyes, her mouth, her throat. He even had been positive when she had called him a beast and he had apologized and said she was righL He had been charmingly, overwhelmingly positftre when he tempted her to go into the venture of a dress shop that day in the Pfister hotel lobby. His positive enthusiasm had caught her when with low spirits, and still stinging under the poison of Linda Van Vliet’s words, she had turned to the ads, “Help Wanted, Female.” Nancy danced with Phil and tried to think it positive was the word she really meant. It was something compelling, something born of the fact, she thought, that never in tus life nad he known what it was to be poor. He didn’t know what the word dread meant. Nancy, in her dray of analyzing character, working out the puzzle of peoples' personahties, was so engrossed in the music that seemed to beat tempo with her thoughts, that she hardly heard what Phil was saying. He had said he’d give a dollar for her thoughts. She said she was thinking of what the gossips might be saying. “What gossips ?” “Any gossips. Evil, jealous, vi-cious-minded people. Don’t you know any?"

John W. Thatcher To Mark 91st Birthday John W. Thatcher well known resident of this county who lives in St. Mary’s township on Decatur route three, will observe his 91qt birthday anniversary next Saturday. \ ’ He was born Nov. 7, 1862, just across the Indiana line in Ohio, near Willshire, but has lived nearly all his life in Adams county. He resides with his\ daughter, Mrs. Margaret Wlaltke of Decatur route three. A grandson, Johnnie G. Waltke, and two great-grandchildren live in Bedford.

“can t say that I do.” Nancy was thinking how she might get Phil to mention Linda <yan VlieL She wondered if men ever had the intuition toward women that women had toward other women. v She wondered if Phil Stanley could sense the feline in Linda that she had sensed at that very first meeting in the Empire room, more so at the Colony Inn when Linda had so subtly given Nancy to understand that Nancy was a working girl, that Phil was a charming fellow, that Nancy no doubt had found him so, as so many girls had ... “shall I say it ? ... to their regret." The music stopped. The lobster was ready. Several waiters weie hovering about their table. The host and owner of the Club Madrid was there to say good evening and to give a supervising glance at the table. Now that Nancy had spoken of gossips and vtcious-minded people, she found Linda Van Vliet’s face ano voice Intruding thepiselves all during the meal. She felt that Linda must be m the club somewhere, that tier cool, calculating eyes were observing her and PhiL She cdbld near Linda’s poisonous, honey-laden voice . . . even girls cap buy anything . . . even girls like you . . . the world hardly lifts an eyebrow at a man . . . • On the way back to town Phil remarked that he had left one of his driving gloves at the shop. Nancy said he cduld pick it up tomorrow. Phil said no, he wanted it tonight There he was again. His will against hers. They might be seen entering the shop together at a late hour. “What would Mrs. Grundy say?" she asked. •‘Mrs. Grundy, who’s she, the jahitress?" \ Phil won. How silent and eerie the shop, for all its bright furnishings, seemed at this hour. Phil found the glove. “It’s so quiet here, let’s talk.” Phil grasped Nancy’s hand, pulled her toward the chintz couch. She shook her hand free. She started to talk. She hardly knew what she was saying. Anything to distract his attention. “You’re a tittle devil, know it?" Nancy stepped backward. “Phil, stay there. I want to ask you something. Why have you done all this for me—this shop, everything—. You’re supposed to be a notorious snob, and L well I’m just Nancy Kelly from Cass street.” “Because you have more spirit in your little finger, than—” He was holding both her hands now, crushing them until they hurt. There was desire in his dark eyes. “Phil, once X told you that you were a beasL'“ He dropped her hands. “1 know,. I know, redhead. I’m sorry.” fTe Be Coatinued> \ .
