K hot weather is needed to bring on showers, let the mercury rise for farm crops are thirsty, 0 o Weed cutting is in progress and owners of .vacant lots are doing the commendable thing by destroying the rank growth.

The first step toward understanding and world peace must be reached in an agreement between the United States and Britain. These two nations must resolve their differences and show the rest of the world that agreement is possible. We can’t expect other nations to go along with us if: the English-speaking countries differ seriously bn the plan to promote peace. < ‘ o o Woodburn, a neighbor to the northeast, is coming to the front Os the parade with the installation of a modern dial telephone system. In this well known Alien county trading center of less than one thousand population, the telephone exchange has 470 subscribers. The Woodburn Telephone Company was organised in 1920 and its new system is similar to ‘ Decatur’s modern installation, ably managed by Mark Lipsett. This area of the state is op the move and progress and growth is noted everywhere.

Only when one has taken a bite of food into the mouth that is tap hot to handle is a sip of water coadoned. Q. When introduced to person for the second time, what should one eay? A. You may say. "I've already had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Smith," or. “I think I met Mr. Smith last month.” Q. Is it proper to tip the proprietors of such places as beauty parlors or barber shops, who have

True Dizziness Has Many Medical Causes

By HERMAN M BOWtSfM. M n DIZZINESS may be caused by « variety of things, ranging from wax in the ears to tumor of the brain. We have all at one time or another experienced the peculiarly unpleasant sensation known as dizziness. Hils complaint needs the careful scrutiny of a physician who can determine its seriousness and the exact cause of each particular cage. Spinning Sensation A true dizziness will give a real whirling and true sense of motion. True dizziness or vertigo occurs when the eyes are open and the person has the sensation that he himself is in motion. The eighth or hearing nerve or Its system is usually at fault when this occurs. However when vertigo is present the physician must give the entire body carefujAciuUajr- __ . - J

New Industry:— Decatur’s newest industry is the Dyno-Jet Products Manufacturing Co., which Speed Childers, the owner and manager says will — employ from 45 to 50 persons when full operations begin. The plant will be located in the former Moses Dairy building, north of the city on the Monmouth road. The company turns out a motor i oil in eight ounce cans which is used as a mix in regular gas to . give motors increased horsepower and is claimed to eliminate carbon. It will also manufacture safety belts and car hill holders. The owner of the business is engaged in remodeling the building and making the necessary changes for installation of a modern belt conveyor system. Famed as a race driver and the owner of speed cars that have competed in dirt-track contests and in the 500-mile classic, Speed Childers smilingly said, "we are going to step up things around here.” Good luck and good speed to * the new industry. 0 p Holiday Coming Up:— The Fourth of July falls on a Sunday this year and will be celebrated on Monday. This means another long, holiday weekend, a chance for families to take a vacation. For top many people, however, holiday weekends bring sorrow and suffering. The increased traffic on our highways always means more accidents, more people killed or injured for life. (It is not pleasaet to think of the possibility of an accident when setting out on a family outing. But it is much less pleasant toJtave an accident. Not every accident victim is the result of his own carelessness. Many suffer because of the recklessness of others. It is weil to remember, when you set out on a trip on crowded highways, that all drivers are not careful. Exercise every precaution and be ready to compensate for the carelessness of other drivers with extra caution on your part, and come home unharmed. . t • t

served you? A. No; only the employees. Q. Is it eut-of-date now to teach boys and girls to say. “Yes, ■ma’am" and "No ma’am,” and "No sir” and "Yes, sir” to adults? A. "Yes, sir” is still correct for. a boy when speaking to his father or other men, but a girl should use the name ofTne person spoken to, as. "Yes. Mrs. Jones." The word "Ma’am", is no longer in good form, and when a child doesn't know the name of the person, he should add something to “yes" or “no,” as, "Yes, it is,” or “No, I don't think so.” Q. Should <a wedding invitation be mailed to tlie bridegroom’s parents? ' A. .Most certainly. They are as much entitled to this courtesy as any other guests.

An Inflammation of the eight! nerve is probably the most common cause for true dizziness. A " loss of hearing most often accom - panies these cases. It may be due to some maladjustment or disease of the eyes such as imbalance of eye muscles, improper fitting of glasses, or even glaucoma. Certain types of anemia or central nervous diseases, brain tumors, brain injuries, migraine, epilepsy, wax or foreign bodies in the ears, or ear infection can also be at fault - \ question and answer R. T.: What are the symptoms of heat prostration? . Answer; Usually the person is_ listless, apprehensive, and may even go Into a coma. ,His skin is cold and wet and he perspires profusely. Also, the blood pressure is usually towered. t

CHAPTER NINETEEN JOA.N gave a abort laugh, tore mother Hunter’s note into little pieces and let tt fall slowly into the red scrap basket. Then she walked through to the living room and dropped down on the rocker there. “I can’t take it any more,’* she thought. “I can’t be tied to her the way she wants me to be. 1 can’t report to net every time I’m going out and where and what for and when I’ll be back. 1 can't do tt! Why—l’B get to hate her if this keeps on. 1 really will. And she is so good. . . . She means to be kind, 1 know.” A sorrowin' voice behind her interrupted her thoughts. “Weil, Joame, dear, you really did let me down, didn't you?" Joan sprang up and whirled about. Mrs. Hunter stood there in ber morning dress of gingham and . ber worn comfortable bedroom slippers. Shocked, Joan exclaimed. "Oh, didnt you go?" Mrs. Hunter shook her head. "How could 1? You weren't here. * "But | thought—l mean, didn't you telephone someone? Mrs. Duntop or someone? When you found J wasn't—” Mrs. Hunter had advanced into the room and was now in the rocker Joan nad offered her. “By the time 1 realized you weren't going to get nere, tt was too iate. Everyone bad gone.** “Oh, I’m terribly sorry! Truly 1 am- 1 completely forgot today was the day for that luncheon.* “I don't see now you could. We spoke of it just yesterday." There was patience and martyrdom rather than resentment in Mrs. Hunter's voice. “1 know, but —“ Joan bit her lip. She would never say a word about her quarrel with Todd that nad dnven everything from her mind. "But you see," she went on, “at breakfast Todd told me to go out and shop around for some antiques we re going to get and 1 guess 1 was just so excited about that, that everything else went out of my head. Thank you ever so much for clearing up my breakfast things," she added. Mrs. Hunter waved away this gratitude. "Antiques, did you say? For this room, 1 suppose. But my dear, why didn’t you ask me to go with you? I wouldn't have minded missing the luncheon for something like that. 1 love riding' Besides, I'm very much Interested in antiques, as I'm sure you must know.” “It was just a spur of the moment idea, Mqtper Hunter. Todd askecj me to drive him to the station because he was a little late and—well—l just thought I’d go <?a from there.”

Hint Fake Clues In Thome Apartment Hint Clues Planted In Death Apartment CHICAGO (INS)—Testimony at the inquest into the strange death of Montgomery Ward Thorne. 20-year-old heir to a two million dollar mail order fortune, has disclosed that fake clues may have been planted in his apartment on Chi- ■ cago’s Gold Coast. Coroner Walter E. McCarron ’ hinted that the clues may have been put there after the body of 1 Thorne was found clad in shorts 1 last June 19. McCarron said Monaay at the inquest that a hypodermic needle, a girl’s girdle, a lipstick - tinted tissue and other evidence was ’ found after, the apartment supposedly was sealed by police. The coroner said that he went • back to the apart meet_even though, ail evidence allegedly had been

T see. Well, you really should have come back for me, Joame. I probably could have helped you. I know a great deal about antiques, having lived with them all my life." Joan was silent. There was. not a thing she could say in reply. AU the words that clamored for utterance in her must never be spoken. At ner silence, Mrs. Hunter said slowly, “Unless you didn’t want me to go with you. Unless you didn't want my help.” Still Joan was silent, the denial that Mrs. Hunter sat there longing to hear, choking tn her throat. At this moment the door from the long comdor into Joan's nail opened again and Todd’s Catner came through. At the sight of ms tall, spare figure, topped by. his fine, kindly face, Joan sett a rush of wild relief and prang quickly to her feet. “Oh, Daddy Hunter! Oh, I’m so glad to see you! It’s been a long time." “Yes, quite a tong time." He advanced into the room and helped himself to one of the two straight chairs. “Almost two weeks. But you Know we agreed to let you do your own settling- We agreed we would wait unto we were invited" —again that slight accent on the word—"before we appeared here. However, when 1 beard Mama come down this way 1 thought to myself that she is no more of a privileged character than 1 am. So 1 followed." And he laughed bis gentle laugh. Darling Dr. Hunter! He was an unwitting ally in her hour of need —or perhaps not so unwitting. Joan was not quite sure. Had he been half aware of what was going on, yet reluctant to interfere because he knew nis wife so well? Knew bow easily she was nurt anyway ? Though nothing more was said along that line, she bad the sure feeling that much was understood; and when, a few moments later, he rose to go, Mrs. Hunter rose with him. "just as soon as we buy the chairs 1 saw this morning,” Joan said,, feeling a breathless need to express thanks to the doctor and in some way at the same time to offer a kind of apology that might assuage Mrs. Hunter’s feelings, “we’re going to begin giving little Sunday night suppers. And you two—and Mother and Gram—will be my first guests.” “How nice. We’ll took forward to it Meantime, we’ll let you finish the settling you seem to have begun so wen. Good-by for now, my dear. Well, Tilly? Will you lead the way?” They were gone. She was gone, But she bad taken with ber an unanswered question and the knifeedge of a wound in her heart that Joan had made. Would that, wound

removed by detectives and found a door into the room from a connecting bathroom was not sealed. His supposition is that the clues may have been planted to create the impression that the young heir was a narcotics User. Further testimony Is expected today from blonde and matronly Mrs. Aleen Ragen. mother of pretty 18-year-old Maureen Ragen. Thorne’s fiancee. Monday she described Thorne as a clean-living young man aud told how be and her daughter fell in love. , Park Board Proposal Will Be Discussed ’ The Adams county park board’s i proposal to sell land to the county 4-H groups for their fairgrounds , will at a meeting of , the Adams county general extend I sion committee i The meeting will take place at - 8 p.m. at Decatur high school. The council includes representatives of each township. the county agents i and the representatives of several i organizations.

fester f Or would it heal, and, tn the bearing, would Mrs. Hunter take care not to expose herself,to another such thrust? Joan could not guess. And now much did the doctor actually know of ms wife’s unwanted visits here? Was it an accident that he nad discovered her today ? All this revolved ceaselessly and tumultuously in Joan's bead tor the rest of the afternoon. Only one thing was clear to her. Ahead lay a crisis. Tomorrow, when she met Todd’s mother again, she woulC either follow through with a determined stand for independence, indicated clearly enough by her rebellton today, or sbe would give up "Tbe worst of living," she tolc herself, as she was getUng Todd’i dinner ready that night, “is that you nave tp live with yourself You nftike yourself into something you don't like and then you have to live with yourself. Now, me— I'm weak to the point of stupidity And ! know it. And 1 hate myseli for it. But bow can 1 be tough i and at the same time not cruel?" Todd, of course, was to know none of this. It was still her probi lem. But to ber surprise, be i guessed it She was telling him of her disi coveries in the antique shops that day when he suddenly interruptec Her. ' “What’s the matter?” asked “Nothing. Why?" ' "You’re not as enthusiastic about all this as you ought to be.” “Oh, Todd, 1 am!” | "No, you’re not. Are you tired ?" To her dismay, tears filled net eyes. Blinking them back, she nodded. “A little —maybe" They had finished dinner. Now he pushed his chair away from the table and rose to his feet, stretch- : ing out his hand to her. . “Come nere.” He drew ber with him to the big rocking chair. The next moment she was on his lap, his arms were tight about her, her head was down on his shoulder -and he was saying, in a voice that held a mix- ' ture of gentle coaxing and loving firmness, “now teß me all about 1 it-” / " •Todd, it’s nothing. Really, it isn’t." \ “Yes, tt is something, too. Don'j think you can tool me.” “I mean tt’s—it's nothing I can't work out.” “You’ve been trying for twe weeks or more to work it out Ever since we got back here. Is it Mother?" She gashed and sat up, wideeyed in her astonishment "How —how did you know?” "Well, after all, honey, I've lived with her twenly-fiv< years.”

More Volunteer Blood Donors Sorely Needed

By MARLENE LAURENT > (Staff Reporter* It your best friend needed a pint of your blood to save hie lite would you refuee him? IMxybe you are mumbling, “Os course. I wouldn't begrudge him my blood,'* but if you are one of those who can give blood and have not yon have indirectly turned him down. You have no assurance that in the next week or month hft.4sn;t going tp need it desperately. And in spite of that desperate need he may not get it simply because it is not available. The blood supply is dangerously low now and if new donors don’t come forward it may become almost nonexietant. Or put it this way. If you don’t have any best friends to be concerned about, you and your family are in the same spot. Few Volunteers Mrs. Wanda Oelberg, executive secretary of the Adams county Red Cross, has recently made several appeate for new blood donors. Do you know how many have answered the appeals? Four! Only tour residents of this county were willing to be added to the present list of donora. most of whom have been voluntarily bled and bled and bled! God bless those four but they aren’t much help when at the very least, 100 new donons are needed. About 500 people in this county giva blood regularly but they are disqualified if they have donated within the past two months, if they have or are recovering from a cold -or allergy attack, if they ha<e just had major surgery or for several other reasons. With all those disqualifications it becomes pretty difficult to fill the quota of 150 qjfhts or more set up for eaejibf the six visits of the blopdluohile. Blood Not Wasted Where is all of this blood going? Part of it goes to fill the national quota of five million pints for ' disasters and for the manufacture of gamma globulin to fight polio. However, much of the locally-

donated blood to used locally. In the first Uwee montlis of this year alone 52 pints of blood were administered to residents of Adame county. LouU Koldewoy of route five is one of bur fellow residents who knows the value of the blood program. When he had a serious operation receiKly he required seven pints of life-eeviog blood. He still la not able to do heavy farm work but at least he is on the road to complete recovery thanks to that extra Wood. * Mrs. Bertha Heuer of 829 North Fourth street can also tell you that your gift of blood is important. She received eight pints Last December. She and others whose lives have been saved by blood imost feel pretty grim when they hear you making excuses not to give blood. Far-Fetched Excuses Soane dig np some pretty farfetched excuses, too. People have refused to donate blood because they have fallen arches, they have dandruff, they don't have enough blood for themsclve£ tfiey are too fat pr too thin, they have no hair, etc. * Then there is the perennial excuse. “I don't have the time!" which volunteer aides have heard so often that they are convinced nobody is stopping long enough to breathe these days. Don’t laugh! These excuses may sound funny to you but *they are actually used. They lose their humor when the victim of an accident is deprived of badly-needed blood. Jt is true that the Red Crees has set up certain physical requirements of their blood donora but let a competent doctor decide whether you are too thin or too fat. If you say you have higli blood pressure, maybe you do but it might not be too high to donate a pint of blood. For that matter .donating blood is not vail give end no gain”. Where else can you get a physical check-up for nothing? You gat a doctor's examination with each visit to donate blood.
