It will take about a week or ten days for Congress to get up a full head of ataam. Then with a national election coming up, watch tor lots of charges and counter-charges and not much legislation. - — - - —— The national press didn’t make such a to-do over the President's state ot the union message. It ■ followed the anticipated lines of thought and much ot the tire was eliminated because the President was unable to deliver it personally. He is still in Florida recovering from a serious heart attack. Farmers institutes soon will bo held in townships all over northern Indiana. These are great gkth7. ej-jwa-places tor th® people both rurnt city folks and exhibits irjtft some good sound addresses on farm and home subjects. They are well worth the time spent in attendance. ■■ 0- 0 Decatur merchants are completing their annual inventories and' already several stores have started to dispose ot their winter merchandise with sales. Shoppers are advised to watch the Daily Democrat for these unusual values in merchandise. You’ll not find a better place in the middlewest to trade than right here in Decatur. You’ll get the best values and the best merchandise. — The action ot the stream pollution board in an effort to order construction ot a sewage disposal plant in Decatur will come up again shortly. Just how much power the state board has over cities is still undecided. Why the construction should be Immediate never has been explained, because since the 10 year old order was made against the city, no epidemics have been traced to the continued use of the river for sewage. Certainly it would be wonderful to have a cleaner river, but a million dollars is a lot of money, too.

A disastrous fire occurred Thursday morning at the Reppert property across from the east edge of the corporation limits of Decatur' on the Bellmont park point The recently rebuilt and remodelled home was destroyed by the flamea Decatur firemen made a bravo effort to save the property and they did a fine job of saving adjacent homes. In two • bad fires in less than a week, the firemen have been able to hold loss to a minimum In each instance. ' • 0 o In the next few weeks the county political pot will be boiling. Candidates will be announcing their intentions to run for several county offices. Nominations will be made by both the Democrats and Republicans next May. The two major parties also will reorganise in May by. naming chairmen and other officers to oondnot the November election campaign. Along with all this local interest there will be state and national contests. It should be an interesting year from a political standpoint 0 0 Elmer Winteregg, Jr., well * w known Decatur resident has been named as a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals. He will succeed Sylvan “Buzz” Rupert, who_ resigned because of ill health. Mr. Rupert has served on the tough board for more than eight years and he has established an enviable record both a* to attendance and judgment Mr. Winteregg is a successful business man and should make an excellent appeals board member. The Appeals board gets tough problems from Decatur residents who wish to either remodbl their present property or build a new one, when the plans do not conform with the sonlng ordinance. Their problems are all grief and it takes strong members to successfully operate the board. The present board has done an excellent job. We congratulate Mr. Winteregg' on his appointment and we commend Mayor Robert Cole for good judgment used in making the selection.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN LOIS wm stiii at Albert’s and Bessie’s cottage when Dr. Thomas . arrived. In the interval Jane had trjked fa a low tone to Clyde. The doctor looked around, his brows shooting up when he saw the first Mrs. Brindle. "Well, Jane, good to see you. I heard you had come back. Planning to stay long ?" “Just a visit," site said. He studied Clyde, a puzzled, speculative frown between his brows, and shot a sharp glance at Lola Stirring things up, his expression said clearly. He was beaming when Bessie opened the bedroom door and came out. “Well, Bessie, what’s the trouble here? Tell Doc all about it” Bessie’s face was ravaged. “Albert is fa a state of collapse. His heart is racing and he’s an awful color. Like death. 1 can’t understand It when he just lies there. What tires him so? And he keeps his door shut as though—as though we were to blame tor — what happened.’’ “Anything special upset him?” “Nothing reasonable,” Bessie said. “He was talking to Mrs, Fleming when—” The doctor turned to Lois and seemed about to speak. Then he picked up his bag, went Into the bedroom and closed the door. After a few moments he opened it again. “Need someone to give me a hand,” he said and Clyde followed him into the bedroom. Almost immediately the boy came out, “What was it?” his mother susßcd* “I don’t know. Dad—didn't want me around." The color drained out of Bessie’s face. Awkwardly she put her band oh his arm. “He’s just sick, Clyde. Sick people are apt to get fancies.” He summoned up a smile that did not succeed fa concealing his hurt. “Let's face it. Dad doesn’t seem to like me very much.” Something broke tn Bessie’s face. “He does too like you,” she said fiercely. ’’Anyone would like you. There’s not a kinder, more considerate, sweeter • tempered boy—” Clyde patted her head. "All right. Mom, skip it. If I can’t do anything here—" he went out of the cottage, shoulders bent, a big, ungainly, slouching figure stamped with defeat. "It’s net fair," Bessie cried, “for Roger always to come ahead of Clyde. It’s enough id make the boy bitter and—" ; • Jane dropped into a chair and lighted a cigaret “You know, Bessie, there arc times when 1 grow

weary of having Roger blamed tor everything that goes wrong. After all, Clyde owes him a great deal.” Bessie looked at her, opened her lips, did not speak. She smoothed down her apron with fingers that shook.' "And you’ve got a lot to answer fdr yourself, Bessie,’’ Jane went on. "If Albert put Roger first, you’ve put Albert first. If any boy ever had to. be satisfied with leftovers it’s Clyde. And he is like his father in a lot of ways. You might think of that. Enormously like him.” Bessie’s lips quivered and she pressed them hard together. For the first time Jane’s face revealed neither compassion nor tolerance and Bessijp seemed visibly to cower, shrinking from the woman who had been her lifelong friend. Jane added abruptly, “Do you love the boy?" Lois was paralyzed with embarrassment. This was the second time within an hour she had become involved fa an intimate scene. “Yes,” Bessie said, choking. "Oh, yes! 1 guess I have kind of neglected him: I guess 1 have a lot of arrears of love to make up to him, but 1 do love him, Jane.” ‘•Then, why not let him know It before it’a too late,” Jane said fiercely. Dr. Thomas came out of the bedroom. “I’ve given Albert a hypodermic. He's asleep for awhile. But don’t let anything get him excited again.” He spoke to Bessie but his eyes were on Lois. He shifted them to Jane. "And don’t you make another attempt to see him, Jane. Doc’s orders. 1 don’t know what you are up to but ever since you reached Stoweville there’s been gossip. You’re trying your best to blacken the name of the finest man God ever made and I’m not going to let you do it" Again Lois was conscious of the strong core of serenity in Jane’s nature. Her strong hands were clasped loosely in her lap. Her big mouth had lost its lines of humor. “I came to Stoweville,” she said quietly, "to find the answer to a question. I won’t be driven out until 1 find it.’’ “And what’s the question ?"- -Who turned on the gas heater fa Roger’s cottage the night he died." "Roger,” Doc said distinctly, “died of a heart attack in his own bedroom.” •Nothing of the sort,” Jane said briskly, almost impersonally. “I know where he died and how. And I’m, fa this to the end. I’ll fight if I have to." " There was no mistaking her intentions. Doc Thomas studied her,

thinking hard. Then he flung out his arms in a gesture of surrender. “1 don’t know why you are doing this, Jane; why you couldn’t let p Roger rest in peace. But if you’ve got to know the truth, I’ll tell you. I’ve tried my best to protect his reputation. But if you want to smear him, I suppose you won’t be satisfied until you succeed. Roger did It himself.” The thought that plagued Lens as she walked along the path concerned her own responsibility fa the matter. Had Roger Brindle taken his own life, as Dr. Thomas declared; or had he been murdered, as Shandy Stowe believed? H it was murder she had the responsibility of any decent citizen. She couldn’t sidestep it. If you believeji in anything at all, you had to believe that a killer must be stopped. But why would anyone want to kill-Roger Brindle, America’s bestloved man; the man who, according to everyone, devoted his energies to trying to give people what they wanted. It was not for profit No one gained flnancially; even his wife had been left almost without resources; and the people whom he had sheltered, as a stalwart tree shelters plants and vines, were l<?ft destitute. In a very real sense, everyone had lost by his death. The crime itself was fiendishly clever because of ita very simplicity. No clue. No weapon. A gas fireplace turned on. But why hadn't Roger noticed the odor of escaping gas? Even Doc Thomas could hardly have covered up a head injury if Roger had been knocked unconscious before the murder. Lois shut -her eyes to help hei concentrate. Two nights before Rogers death an attempt had been made to shoot him. And no one hac made any reference to the bullet hole through the windowpane. A ■ fantastic conspiracy of silence i Two 'nights later someone had : tried again. And succeeded. Not an impulsive crime, not the result 01 a moment of emotional storm. A I patient business. i „ No one whom Lois could put s finger on could possibly have killeo Roger. Perhaps Dr. Thomas was right and Roger had killed himself. Certainly there was the internal evidence of his column, of his fatigue, of his loss of faith In his world; there was Jane's evidence of his depression, tiia secret drinking. ~ But someone had shot at him two nights before, shot at him with Shandy’s missing gun. That was evidence that could not be argued away. Evidence of intention to kilt (To Be Continued)

Grace Kelly To Wed Prince After Easter .... Public Appearance Is Slated Tonight NEW YORK (INS)—The prin cess-to-bo of Monaco makes her tint public appearance in regal surroundings tonight at a New York benefit dance dubbed, "The Imperial Ball—A Night in Monte Carlo.” The priaoee*—also known aa Oscar-winning octrees Grace Kelly of the Philadelphia Kellys — will sit beside her fiance. His Serene Highness Prince Rainier IH cf Monaco, in the royal box in the Waldorf-Astoria ballroom. The couple returned to New York by car Thursday night from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Kelly, where their plane to marry after Easter were announced at a hectic news conference. Champagne blonde Miss Kelly told reporters she was too tired to say anything more Thursday night when she reached her Fifth avenue apartment, but said she would see them later today. Rainier, who is monarch of the 368-acre principality on the French Riviera, went to the home of a friend with whom he is staying while in the city. Grace did most of the talking Thursday. His mustached serene highness appeared somewhat overwhelmed by the hundred reporters and photographers who tired questions at the couple. She retained her well-kno—-composure in the face of the press until asked the standard "big” question: “How many kids are you going to-have?" * Miss Kelly reddened and ducked her head. Her mother came to the rescue with a quick comment: "1 should say they will have a lot of children.. I’m a grandmother and I love grandchildren." The first hint of the protocol which will surround her came when Miss Kelly was asked if she had been surprised by the proposal. She said: “My father knew before I did.” The prince had taken the oldfashioned road of asking Mr. Kelly for his daughter's hand. The pair of lovers smilingly declined to say when they fell in love or decided to get married. They first met during the Cannes film festival last May when Grace visited the prince's palace for some magazine pictures. She said Thursday that after finishing tier film committments for MGM, “wo certainly will live in Monaco.” - Herfrtendstrr the motion picture capital believe she will put her wifely duties before anything else. The prince's 5,000 subjects received the news jubilantly. They have been worried that Rainier, a bachelor at 32, might never marry and produce an he|s. ——— Under a treaty with France, if the 650-year-old House of Grimaldi dies out, the principality is absorbed into France. .

"The Philadelphia Story" titled "High Society." The prince will bask happily In the Florida sun. Fame's Proposal Meets Opposition Centrist Coalition Proposal Opposed PARIS (INS)—Outgoing Premier Edgar Faure’s proposal for a broad centrist coalition to govern France encountered growing opposition today within the anti-red leftist Republican front. The inoderate leftists, led by Socialist Guy Mollet and former premier Pierre Mendes-France, want to establish a'basically Republican front government without joining a formal coalition. They do, however, accept the necessity of including in the next cabinet ‘certain individuals from other parties to help solve such, pressing problems as Algeria.'" Millet and Mendes-France lunched together Thursday. Afterwards, the Socialist party leader announced: “We shall not lend ourselves to the effort to confuse the issue by talking of a ‘NationaVUnion’.” The Radieal Socialist leader endorsed that statement. ~ Faure, who led a group of jnabd- y erate, right of center parties in Monday's election, had called tor a National Union government to “save" the republic. Neither moderate bloc won a bL..tbe. w»e* which cbnVehes fih ArtTll* ’ More than 150 communists will sit on the left in the chamber and 52 rightist supporters of Pierre "Anti-Tax” Poujade will be on the other side. This morning, L'Express, the dally newspaper which supports Mendes-France, editorially called for the invalidation of the election of the 52 “Poujadists.” The paper said the deputies had publicly pledged never to vote without the previous agreement of the Poujadist national committee. L'Express said this violated the, terms of.an 1875 law forbidding deputies from making pledges that prevent them from exercising their own judgment in legislation.
