Why stop with statehood for Hawaii? Alaska also wants to join the Union and is a closer link to the United States than the Pacific island. Both countries should be given statehood. ——o o Adams county 4-H club members were among the outstanding winners at the Rural Youth roundLUP at Purdue University last weekend The awards were presented during the Winter Agriculture Conference and Included fire prevention scholarships, free-trip awards and recognition for health improvement programs. This county has one of the most alert and effective 4-H organizations in the state and its members are outstanding in their achievements. o O ■ One of the few still living active military heads in World War I recently celebrated his 89th birthday. This is Gen. Peyton CMarch, chief of staff in 1917, a post corresponding to Gen. George C. Marshall’s in the last war. Without the efficient body of staff officers whom March brought together and organized, the first world war might not have been won as quickly as it was. For his services he won the Distinguished Service medal and a four-star generalship. In spite of these honors the country is still in his debt. o o The unfortunate incident that occurred in Fort Wayne last week should be a potent reminder to boys that they should not snowball auto and truck drivers. William E. DeWert, of Monroeville, died from a heart seizure following over-exertion when he chased a group of teenagers who tossed snowballs at ' his truckload of eggs. Os course the boys -didn't want this to happen. However, the mere throwing of a snowball at an auto driver 1 might cause the motorist to swing his car and lead to tragic accident; Authorities hold that pitching snowballs —across a-street-or highway is a violation of law and the practice should be stopped. e o If a new U. S. super or four-lane highway north and south is constructed west of Decatur, the present route between this city and Fort Wayne should be maintained as a state highway, A connecting link between cities along this present'route is needed for ordinary travel and Commuting. Large investments have been along Thirteenth street and the city is • also in the process of constructing sewers which will open addi-

Curing Child's Bsd-Wetting

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. BY the time they are three or four most youngsters are cured of bed-wetting, both during the day and at night. Boys as a rule are somewhat glower in training..than girls. If child has passed the age of three and still wets his bed, he is probably suffering from some emotional disturbance, rather than a physical one. ................... Disease May Be Cause However, there are certain instances where the child’s symptoms or a test of his urine may suggest some actual disease as a cause of the bed-wetting. For this reason, any child with this habit should be carefully examined. Bed-wetting or enuresis, as it is known medically, may recur in a child who has alreadyatoppcd the habit. Some mental conflict which upsets the child is usually the cause, in these cases. This may follow harsh treatment which can cause an insecure feeling. It commonly occurs in the absence of parents or upon the arrival of a new baby who may threaten the child’s position in'the family. Emotional Factors To relieve .the bed-wetting habit, parents Should search for possible causes of friction or

tional territory for sub-divisions and commercial locations. Removal of the highway altogether would leave this part of the state without a state road. o—o Gus Dorsis, who died recently at 62, helped to revolutionize the game of football. Until 1913 football was a game in which weight and strength were all important In that year Dorais and the immortal Knute Rockne, developed the forward pass as it is known today. They used passes to bring " an upset victory to Notre Dame over a highly favored West Point team. In addition to establishing passing as an important part of football it brought Notre Dame to the forefront as a football power, a position that university has enjoyed ever since. Dorais had a distinguished career at the University of Detroit and with, the professional Detroit Lions. Afl a coach he had an enviable record. His emphasis was always on the game as a sport and his teams were always taught how to lose as well as how to win. New Citizens:— Everyone knows that the birth rate in the United States since 1947 has been high. Actually, the rate is 24 per thousand which is almost equal to that of Japan or India. Last year almost 4,000,000 babies were born in the U. S. The average for the past seven years has been over 3,600,000 annually. Since 1945, some 33,000,000 children were born in this country, which is apparent assurance that this country will have a population of 206,000,000 by 1975. Actually, this new crop of babies-is a boom in more than a huihefical sense. They will eat some $2,000,000,000 worth of food. Many millions of dollars will be spent to clothe and shelter them, to provide school rooms. In other words our new citizens will help sustain our economy. And when they become adults, tlpey will add a new productive force to the nation. Moreover, these babies will help keep down the age of the population. The present birth rate will not sustained in the immediate future because of a drop in the number of marriages that will result from the reduced numbers of births in the thirties now coming of age. But when today’s newly born reach marrying age. they will again raise the birth rate. Thus the nation appears assured of a vigorous, dynamic population for many years to come.

Parents ■ should make a special effort to - create an atmosphere of security l and affection around the child. 1 Recently, a drug known as 3 methanthellne bromide, that lows ers the irritability of the nerves controlling the bladder, was used s with good effect in helping to re--1 duce the incidence of bed-wetting ! in some children. However, it 1 should be employed only if the ' physician so decides. ’ QUESTION AND ANSWER 1 Mrs. H.: I had a toxemia of r pregnancy with the birth of my ‘ first baby. The baby did not live. ; i Would this stop me'from having ' another child? Answer: No. Because you had toxemia with your first pregnancy ; is no reason to believe that you r j will have similar difficulty with a ; I second.

Mass Os Cold Air Over State Today Eastern Seaboard Is Hit By Storms INDIANAPOLIS UP —An ley air mass reigned over* Indiana today, outlasting a wet one w’hich dumped as much as. 6 inches of snow on the state during the weekend. The snow was confined to the extreme south portion. Temperatures early today were uniformly chilly. Only three degreee separated the high minimum of 13, recorded at Evansville, from the low of 10, at Terre Haute. Forecasters said readings would hover near or below the freezing mark today, dropping to 8 to 14 by early Tuesday. They said a cold wave from the north clashing with a rainy storm system from the south was responsible for the heavy snow which blanketed southern Indiana Sunday. Rockport reported the heaviest fail, 6 inches. Evansville had 3 inches. It was cold but dry elswhere In Hoosierland Sunday, except for extreme northern counties which got a few snow flurries. The Hoosier Motor Club reported highways wore slippery only in the extreme south not more than 20 miles from the Ohio River in a band extending across the state. In the band were scattered Icy spots on main roads. Secondary highways were hazardous, covered with packed snow. —-.- Upstate, state police reported snow flurries this morning in the Dunes Park district along Lake Michigan but not enough to affect motoring. Near Blizzard By UNITED PRESS A storm of near blizzard proportions; one of the worst in a decade, hit the eastern seaboard today and was expected to blanket the New York metropolitan area in more than 15 inches of snow. Thousands of commuters to New York City who normally travel to work by automobile were urged to seek other means of transportation as the snow, swirled by strongwinds, made highways treacherous. The snowfall, which began about noon Sunday, had reached a depth of more than six inches by 6 a.m. today. It was expected to continue until'Tuesday morning. The New York department of sanitation mobilized a force of at least 10,000 men la an effort to keep the city’s streets clear. Commuters from the city’s suburbs and from Connecticut and New Jersey were expected either to be late for their jobs today or unable to reach them at all. ® A “snow emergency” was declared in Washington. D.C., where • at least 12 inches of snow was expected. Automobile traffic on 56 main streets in the capita iwas restficted to cars equipped with chains.

Eight to 12 inches of snow snarled traffic in Boston, Mass.,

CHAPTER THIRTY THE LIGHTS dimmed some more for Kit as the inspector continued to talk. Libby then put the second part of her plan into operation. Her tormentor was disposed of, but she was still penniless. McKee said: “You were her main stumbling block. Your uncles will ieaves his money equally to you and to her, but if she persisted in marrying Tony Wilder, your uncle, backed up by your dislike ot Wilder, might have changed his mind. With you out of the way she thought she could manage him, and she would be his sole beneficiary quite soon—Mr. Haven is not a well man.” Kit said slowly: “Did she plan to kill me, deliberately?” McKee nodded. "That was what we had to wait for. Without that, we would have had nothing. She where Pedrick was concerned—and got away with it. She fired those two shots at you the moment you appeared in the barn doorway.- but l was ready and waiting." Kit said: "Perhaps — perhaps Libby was just frightened—half out of her wits." "No, Misa Haven. Your death was part of her plan. She knew about your second key, knew you’d follow the black sedan. After Pedrick fell she went out of the barn and moved the sedan back, where you would be sure to see it. Pedriek had driven it farther to the left and out of sight of the road. Then she returned to the bam and watched you from there, moving from peephole to peephole, the gun ready.” Kit pushed hair back from her forehead with a vague gesture. ‘TVs the enormity ot the deception .., 1 can’t seem to—" “The deception ?* McKee said. “Look at it. Miss Tallis considered that as far as the >25,000 was concerned she wasn't really harming your uncle, that he would spend it foolishly anjrhow.

She had misinterpreted Libby all down r the line. :~“ ‘ "What will happen to her?” _ Kit’s voice was barely audible. McKee said after a quick glance ’ at her: “She won’t pay the extreme j penalty. There will be no death , sentence.” His eyes were eold. He was see- ; ing Libby Tallis as he had seen 1 her a little while ago in a small bare room with a wardess beside 1 her, white and piteous, denying everything. “I didn’t. No.Trlidn’t, t inspector.

You thought I'd fallen for Libby. s Well, you were wrong, dead wrong. , But would you listen?
