It's almost garden making time and before long we'll be saying “where did the summer go?” 0 $ Congratulations to the St. Joe basketball team, winners of the Fort Wayne CYO tournament played at Central Catholic gymnasium yesterday.

Church attendance in Decatur continues to mount Sunday revealed another record attendance and final figures will be announced soon. Good Churches and big Church attendance are just as important to a progressive city as any other single thing. 0 0 North Side Indians of Fort Wayne are one of four Indiana high school basketball teams still in the running for the state championship. Great games, especially from a spectator’s standpoint featured Saturday’s semifinal play-offs. The champion will be named next Saturday from among Crispus Attacks, Indianapolis; Roosevelt of Gary; New Albany and North of Fort Wayne. Attucks is the favorite, but look out for upsets. Any of the four remaining teams could emerge with the crown. Any winner this year will be a first time champion. -. o 0 The Chiropractic profession is coming into its own in Indiana. A new state law permits the licensing of that group of men. For a good many recent years it has been practically impossible for a new chiropractor to practice legally in Indiana. The few, who were practicing, prior to the elimination statute, however were permitted to continue. There is no doubt there is a large field for this honorable profession. Years ago the Chiropractic profession got into ill repute because a few were unscrupulous in their practice and there were at that time a few schools scattered over the nation where a degree could he obtained with just a few weeks of study. That was not the general rule, however, and many fine men have been penalized in recent years by the former Indiana statute. There are many aches and pains which readily respond to this type of treatment. Our prediction is that Chiropractors will jealously guard their field and will watch their membership carefully, so they will be a benefit to the general public for many many years. We are gfad that the blot of restriction has been erased in Indiana for these men in their quest to relieve suffering of humans.

SYNOPSIS Jim Andrus had served a prison term tor the vehicular slaying hi eight-year-old Roger Pelham, whose lovely mother. Regina Pelham. Jim had been about to wed. Overindulgence during his bachelor dinner had blacked out Andrus' mind, and he had awakened next morning to And the lad dead in the driveway of the Pelham home in a suburb of New York. Unmistakably. Andrus' car had killed the boy. but Jim had no recollection of having driven his ear that night! Back, aow. in hie New York apartment, Andrus and his loyal Aunt Jude hope to dear the Andrus name. CHAPTER THREE ANDRUS shouldn’t have talked to Jude when she came up to Sing Sing Jive months ago. He had said very little, but a little was all Jude needed. She not only read between the lines, she produced whole pages extemporaneously. He kept anger under blankets with an effort “The doctor, I’m afraid, will not have a fertile field. I haven’t got any brains to speak of." But Dr. Fernandez got the story behind the story out of him, what there was of it. Later on that night Fernandez talked to McKee, head of New York's homicide squad, over the telephone. "Interesting fellow, Andrus, been around—not a youngster. Jude Carmody’s nephew.” The medical examiner outlined the case in three sentences. "Andrus feels now that he didn’t drive his car on the night before the wedding. He thinks someone else drove it, ran the child down and was afraid to come for* ward . . . What? No he has nothing concrete . . . Yes, the evidence against him is pretty strong. Know any good man up there who'd give it a thorough going over?" McKee was noncommittal. The ambassador’s widow was a lovely iady and Fernandez was susceptible: on the other hand, where men were concerned tad work, he was shrewd and hard-headed. He had evidently taken a liking to the Andrus fellow . . . The most McKee would promise was that he would have it looked into. •• • ' On the following Wednesday, Andrus went up to his aunt's place in Hastings for Thanksgiving when Jude refused to take no. Susan Dwight was on the same train. Andrus had done a lot of Intensive thinking about the silver flask in the intervening days. It was the one solid thing he had to hold on to. hadn't found the flask or the slightest trace’of ft. There was one it might possibly be . . . Susan Dwight was three seats up from him. He looked at the back of her head for a long time. Then he walked along the aisle, and sat down in the vacant •eat beside her.

Revulsion and anger. Finely cut lips compressed out of shape. She gripped her pocketbook, made as if to rise and thought better of it “What are you doing on this train?” she said. “I am not going to your house on Wolf Hill, if that’s what you’re asking," Andrus said. “And I’m not any more anxious to talk to you than you are to talk to me, Miss Dwight. What I do want is some information. If you’ll give it to me, I’ll remove myself." She considered that "What information?” ’’Did I leave the silver flask Regina gave me in your house in Wolf Hill?” Susan had packed the wedding presents, going carefully through every room to see that nothing inadvertently moved had been omitted. “No,” she said. Regina met Susan at the door of the house on Wolf Hill. It was a big, ugly, sprawling place with huge windows and a cupola, set in four acres of ground. Inside it was comfortable and spacious, but everything was just a little shabby. But there wasn’t much money now. What had seemed like a good-sized fortune, left to Regina by her father, had dwindled to almost nothing. Regina said, smiling, “A taxi. You extravagant creature. You could just as well have taken the bus.” She kissed Susan and exclaimed over the perfume and the champagne. “You shouldn’t, Sue!” Susan said, "Nonsense. Everett's pay me more money than 1 know what to do with." Regina was the taller of the two with a slightly fuller figure. Shiny black hair fell softly over her forehead. At 34 her creamy skin was without a line and as smooth as satin. She had been born beautiful. Age wouldn't change her. Her blue eyes were unclouded, tranquil. She evidently hadn’t beard that Jim Andrus was out of prison. Susan's tautness went. There was no danger of their meeting. Andrus would never have the audacity to come back to the Hill, and no one would speak of him to Regina. She was beginning to recover from the tragedy of Roger’s death, at least physically, but she had a long way to go yet and needed a lot more time. Revina talked cheerfully of this ahd that Mrs.’ Casseriy was there and was going to stay for a week; her own house was being painted and sijp was between jobs. She was. going* to cook the" turkey; Frederick was thinking of going to Biloxi after Christmas for a rest; he’d been working hard- “Now, Susan, don’t look like that” "Like what?” Susan asked innocently.

brother, and Susan’s stepbrother, and Susan had never got along well with him. Frederick was too sure of himself, too smug. His avowed aim in life was to have a million when he was 45. The antipathy beween them was mutual, but Regina never gave up trying to pour oil'on the water. Regina had gone upstairs for something, and Lulu Casserly was picking up the tea tray to take it into the kitchen, when the front door opened and closed and Frederick's wife, Edith, came in with a rush. Edith was small and dark, with a pretty, plump figure, a., full red mouth and sloe dark eyes under black bangs. Heavy eyelids gave her a Mongolian look. Her coat was wet and she wore a scarf over her nead. Rings glittered on her fingers when she pulled at her scarf. “Susan, where’s Regina?” Susan said, “Upstairs.” Edith said, ".Susan —that man is back here. Yes, Andrus.” She nodded. “It’s all over the Hilt Tony Crowell saw him on the train. He didn't get off at Ludwick, but Nellie Brosnahan saw him coming out of the inn 10 minutes ago. Think of his coming here. Think of it! I don’t know what Frederick will say when he hears.” Cups slithered on the tray Mrs. Casserly was holding. One of the cups fell over on its side. The nurse’s face was gray. Her blue eyes glittered on a point in space and her mouth was open. It was as though in the dusky firelit room she nad suddenly seen a ghost materialize. Susan said coldly to Edith, “Don’t talk so loud,” looked past her into the empty hall, and then at the stairs. Regina was there, on the broad landing, silhouetted against the window and the tree branches. She was standing still, one hand on the railing, the her side holding a pair of scissors. Regina had heard. She came slowly on down the stairs and into the room. She walked to her chair in the bay with the curved glass windows, seated herself, and put the scissors on the table. They made a small clink that was loud in the silence. She picked up the Christmas decoration, a green felt stocking she had been working on, looked at it, and spokp. Her eyes were hidden,'her v’oice cool and soft, like snowflakes. “This is all nonsense, you know. I’m not made of glass... Yes, 1 heard. Jim. Andrus is out of JaiL* She shrugged. “They couldn't keep him there indefinitely. I want you all to understand this. I have nothing but pity for him- Absolutely nothing.’’ Susan said, “He spoke to me on the tram coming up.” (To Be Continued J

Elks Clubs Os Indiana Help Cancer Research

(Editor** note: This is the first in a series of articles on cancer research underway at the Indiana University Medical Center which is supported by funds contributed by Elks dubs of the Hoosier State.) INDIANAPOLIS — The war against cancer is being waged on many fronts at the Indiana University Medical Center here, under financing by the Elks Clubs of Indiana. Cancer is a formidable foe, not only in its potency but in it* variety. It is not one disease, but several hundred. The army fighting it must be skillfully deployed to meet the multiple assault. To further complicate the cancer fight, similar cancers seem to be naturally controlled better in some Individual* than in others. This problem is one of several being investigated, with Elk* financing, by Dr. E. A. Lawrence, cancer co-ordinator at the I. U. Center. In some persons, Lawrence points out, a cancer seems to grow- with great rapidity, as if the patient could not control it any way. In other patients, cancers which seam to be of similar character are controlled to some extent. They do not grow as rapidly as in other persons, and their cells are found to be embedded in much more fibrous connective tissue than that found in the rapidly growing cancers. The fibrous material seems to be attempting to destroy the cancer. This difference Os cancer growth is being studied by means of an "electrophoresis” apparatus, which measures blood protein concentration. Another angle of the cancer problem being studied by Dr. Lawrence is whether cancers grow more rapidly in young individuals than in old. It is generally thought that they do. but proof is lacking, and some evidence is beginning to appear in clinical reports that the belief may be wrong. This study is complicated by the fact that no two human cancers are exactly alike. For that reason, Dr. Lawrenceis experimenting with a cancer of consistent growth characteristics, studying its rate of growth, together with changes in other organs, in very young and very old animals. Elks funds are being used under Dr. Lawrence's dicetion to operate a “Tumor Registry” at the cehter, to compile detailed and precise information about the natural development and growth of cancers in human beings. This knowledge will aid many kirids of cancer research.

(INS) — One thousand persons who believe in flying saucers were told over the weekend that there is no danger of an atomic war. They were given by a series of speakers who addressed the second annual flying saucer convention. The speakers asserted that there will be no atomic war because the people fram Mars. Venus, Saturn and other places in the heavens won’t permit it. Richard Miller, a flying saucer exponent from Prescott, Ari*., said the earth is now moving into a huge cloud of deadly cosmic rays, but is being screened from the radiation by 8,500,000 space ships. He added that if the screening fails to prove effective, the Martians are prepared to evacuate the entire earth to save the people from destruction. Miller said Sol-Tec, the commander of a Martian space ship 150 feet in diameter, disclosed the plan when he was picked up by the space ship near Detroit and made a 12-hour voyage in it. Another speaker, Mrs. Dana Howard, of Desert Hot Springs, reported she made a trip to Venus in a space ship and had a "beautiful romance” there with a Venusian named Lelando. She said she returned to earth to bring a Venusian message of greater way of life. All the speakers explained that the creatures from the other worlds all speak English because they learned it over the radio. Democrat yvant A** Bring Result*

Indianapolis Plant Strike Ends Today Workers Return To Indianapolis Plant INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A meeting was held today between representatives of the United States Rubber Company and of CIO United Rubber Worker* Local 110 in an effort to settle a dispute which precipitated a week end strike. The three-day strike, termed wild-cat by the company, ended early today with the return of workers following a Sunday afternoon meeting. The walkout began Thursday night and by Friday had shut down the entire plant, idling 1,400 employes. The Indianapolis plant, which manufactures inner tubes, has a labor-management contract which prohibits arbitration during a wild-cat strike. The president of the union local was in New York at the time the hassle arose. Union spokesmen said workmen objected to changing the timing of batches in Banbury mixers from 10 minutes to seven minutes and cutting the number of employes to each unit from three to two.
