We can expect colder weath and some freezing temperatures. And just around the corner is Christmas. Where did this year go? 0 'O It is good business to retain Adams county’s two Commissioners, Lewis Worthman and John Kintz. The county board has saved us taxpayers many thousands of dollars the past year. If you are interested in good, progressive and economical government, your best bet is to vote straight Democratic. O o • Decatur’s SIOO leaf remover, substitute for the $7,500 purchased about a year ago, is doing a great job of ridding the streets of leaves. It is a home-made contraption which by means of a vacuum pulls the leaves into the truck .We’re glad the Daily Democrat opposed the purchase of the expensive one. o o— — Holthouse on the highway is the name of a new store opened recently by Robert Holthouse and Louis Jacobs, owners of Holthouse Drug Co. The new establishment, just south of Gerber’s super-market on U. S. highway 27 will carry a stock of just about everything from sandwiches to cement. The owners made a survey of Decatur's future possibilities and decided to invest in a “greater Decatur.”

x Football dopesters proved about as right lam Saturday as a Literary Digestqßection poll. Indiana surprised its adherents by winning; Michigan State, who walloped Notre Dame unmercifully a week ago, lost to Illinois; Minnesota beat Michigan; lowa edged Purdue and all in all it was a bad day for the boys "who know it all.” An expert is just an ordinary guy away from his home town. ——~o o—— Large crowds took part in Decatur’s first annual Soybean festival last week. Retail stores reported good* sales and interest was keen. Chamber of Commerce committeemen promise an even greater celebration next year. Features will be added to make the event more attractive and our guess is that in a few years the affair will be one of northern Indiana's greatest. o—_o One of the most optimistic reports from a Democratic nature is the prediction based on many reports that a vast majority of men and women in service are voting Democratic this year, largely because they feel that Secretary Dulles has constantly muddled otir nation's relations with foreign nations. The Eisenhower cabinet will be recorded in history as the richest and most “muddlesome” in our long and honorable history. ——o o Some of the words written on windows in soap by Halloween pranksters in the business section Friday and Saturday night were disgraceful. These half dozen boys and girls from Decatur schools should not only be punished but their parents also should be charged with delinquency. It makes a bad name for the hundreds of decent Decatur boys and girls. There is a world of difference between being “just a typical boy full of pranks” and downright rotten. Decatur has about half a dozen of the later and if their parents, several of whom are the first to criticize others don’t take some corrective action, law enforcement officials should.

With any washable colored fabric, wash in lukewarm suds and treat stubborn stains with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, then rinse well. In both erases, stains must be treated before garments are laundered. Rust Rust can be removed from fabrics by using lemon juice and salt. Then hold over a steaming teakettle. The steam will aid greatly in removing the spots. The Skin That greasy shine of the skin can be avoided by washing every morning and night with water, in which a pinch of borax has been dissolved.

SYNOPSIS I Connie Barton’s suspicions were aroused by her husband’s clumsy excuses tor his regular Wednesday night absences. She trailed Steve to a private dance studio ®nd then realised he was taking dancing lessons as a pleasant surprise for her. Keeping herself unnoticed, Connie watched the door of the studio till Stete left, and went in for a private word with his teacher. She found the instructor. * Anita Farrell, sprawled on the floorshot dead. In the corpse’s hand was a paper silhouette of herself. Confused. Connie's first thought was to cover up for Steve. She grabbed the silhouette and the appointment book at the unattended reception desk outside and went home to confront Steve. She had to believe his assertions of his innocence. Police promptly -got the names of all Miss Farrell’s pupils and began checking to identify the 7 p. m. Wednesday waltzer. When Lieut. Bolling asked Steve his lessbn time. Steve said 3 o'clock Saturday. From the stolen appointment book Steve took the lesson time of a Ralph Tolley whom Bolling hasn’t contacted—yet. With a plan in mind to save Steve. Connie is about to be interviewed by Oliver Bell, the proprietor of the dance school. CHAPTER 7 Oliver Bell rose from behind the half acre of shining mahogany that was his desk and regarded me with somber brown eyes that almost matched his tie, suit and socks. He was a handsome man in his middle forties. His hair was dark and thick. The wave in it was carefully nurtured. His clothing, everything within reaching distance of him, was pin neat. Even his charm was tidy. There was just the right amount of it at the right time. Here was a man whom elderly ladies probably doted upon, matrons admired and ingenues adored. I could see why the Crescent School of Dancing was such a tremendous success. He smiled at me. “You wish to join our faculty?” “Yes, Mr. Bell.” “And your name is . . ." I didn’t bother him with the ' detail that I was Connie Barton, j the Waltzer’s wife. I had a big, black lie all ready for him. I said, "My name is Hester Frost.” “Hester.” He sounded relieved, as though he had been afraid that all of my type blondes ■i would be named Bubbles St. j Claire. “Are you married, Hester?” , I lowered my eyes. “Not yet, sir." | “How old are you, Hester?" I I raised my eyes defiantly. [ “Twenty-three.” He seemed to believe me; I began to like him. He said, “Have you had any experience in teaching dancing?" “Well,” I said, “to be perfectly honest, very little.” I smiled modestly. “But I have four and I taught them all to dance and they're all wonderful dancers. At least, everybody raves about their dancing, to be perfectly honest.” ‘That’s a good recommendai tion.” He shot me two ounces of ' his sedate charm. “Many of our students are brothers," he said, twinkling. I laughed. But gently, to show I From the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel. Co: JL .... -

I Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE O — o Q. How long should a wedding ring be worn after the husband has passed away? f — A. A widow continues to wear the wedding ring during her lifetime, unless she becomes engaged to marry a second time. Following the announcement of her engagement. she ceases to wear her first wedding ring. Q. When writing a letter or note to a brother and sister, may one address the envelope, “Miss Mary Morgan and Brother”? A. Never. The envelope should be addressed either to the sister or the brother, but never to both. Q. When a young girl is introducing her sister to a person, should she call her sister “Miss Harris”? A. No. She should merely say.

i him that, although I had enough sense of humor to appreciate his, I was also very well bred. He said, “You know, Hester, I like to think of us as a family institution ... all brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, aunts and uncles, all learning to dance for our pleasure and health." He stepped to a panel on the wall and turned a knob over the words FOX TROT. Music seeped into the room. He came to me. "Shall we dance?" he said. “Why, I’d love to, Mr. Beil.” This was hardly true. This was one dance that I would have given ten years of my life to sit out. But I rose and did my best to float into his arms. We danced. We fox-trotted. Mr. Bell switched the music dial and we waltzed. Then, after another flick of the dial, Mr. Bell WBS leading me through a rhum- 1 ba. By the time we were writhing into a samba, I had regained enough poise to realize that 1 was indeed dancing with a dancing master. “Mr. Bell," I said, “you dance divinely!” “Thank you,” he said. His voice took on an inspirational tone. “And you know, I had to learn! Many people ask me if I were born dancing. No, 1 had to learn ... and I didn’t learn until I was an adult.” “One is never too old,” I said . bitterly, “to learn to dance.” “Exactly. And when my wife saw the pleasure dancing afforded me, she insisted our three sons : learn. But we couldn’t afford that.” Mr. Bell chuckled. “Mrs. Bell said it Would be cheaper to start a school of our own and so i we did.” "Seriously?” “No, not seriously. But it was Mrs. Bell who inspired this ■ school.” “She must be a wonderful , woman.” “Yes, she was." “Oh, I’m sorry.” “It was a long time ago. How , proud she’d be of our three boys. ; They’re all grown up and in coli Icgc now.” “All three in college! Where?” “Harvard,” Mr. Bell said, “Yale and Princeton.” “Weil! And where did you go to school, Mr. Bell?” “Arthur Murray’s,” Mr. Bell said. Now we were waltzing again, : and I began to feel that I had ■ surely made the grade and the job was mine. Mr. Bell seemed to b»« enjoying dancing with me. ' Then I noticed that he seemed I to be enjoying himself too much. He didn’t have to hold me this I tight. This cheek-to-cheek busl- . ness, for instance . . . and then, ' really, after all! ■ I put one foot behind his heels and gave him a push. He was . surprised indeed. But before I ; could speak the words of a wo- • man outraged, he was smiling at , me and he and his sedate charm were back once more on their ' feet spyright © 1949 by William and Audrey DiatrUiuUai lu Kime FuHurcs fiwriiraii

“Mrs. Carter, this is my sister, Joyce.” Completes Training SAN DIEGO, Calif. (FHTNIC)— On October 19th Thomas F. Aurand, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert L. Aurand of 229 Grant st., Decatur, Ind. completed recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, Calif. Relatives and friends of many of the new Marines were on hand to graduation ceremonies. The 12-week training schedule included drill, bayonet training, physical conditioning, parades and ceremonies, and other military subjects.

"Hester,” he said, "you have passed both tests. Not only the dancing test, but the character test. I am sure that you will keep any overly amorous pupil j in his place. I’m sure that you j would never encourage this sort , of thing.” I “No, sir, not during business hours,” I said, and added quick- , ly, “nor after business hours. Emphatically, Mr. Bell.” “Fine. This is one of our most important rules here. We never, no matter how much we are urged, make dates with our students. We never see them except in the studio. That applies also to the faculty members of the opposite sex. We remember that this is a place of business, not a social club for boys to meet girls. Romance is a beautiful thing, Hester, and I approve of it heart- , ily. But it can undermine and demoralize a business institution I such as this one.” “I promise,” I said, “not to fall '■ in love with any pupil or teacher." “Fine.” Then his charm evaporated and he was a troubled man. . “You undoubtedly know,” he said, “about our tragedy of last evening,” i “I read about it,” I admitted, i “A terrible thing. My school I in all its eighteen years has never been touched by even the breath I of scandal. I have guarded its reputation with all my strength. i And that, Hester, has been the • key to my success." i "Yes, sir." 1 “I am fortunate in having an . uncanny ability to judge charac- > ter. I know, for instance, that > you are exactly the sort of person we want on our faculty." | “I’m sorry I proved it to yon i so violently. Did I hurt you?" j “Not at all, and please don’t apologize. It was gratifying to 1 me that you have so much strength of conviction. I have never before been knocked completely off my feet Now a a a ; t where was I?" “You have an uncanny ability • to judge character." “Yes, I do. I interview every ’ • single person who wishes to en- j 5 roll with us as a student and my only slip in all these years > was when I accepted the monster who was Miss Farrell’s pupil last 1 evening at seven o’clock.** “The monster?” , “Miss Farrell’s murderes, I 1 failed to detect in him the dej pravity which he displayed hers 1 at seven o’clock.” “Oh. You mean R was »• « aa 1 act of passion ?” “What else ?” » s “My goodness!** I—-——, “And I failed to detect that la , my interview with him.” “Oh." I tried to keep my voice j steady. “You remember inter* 5 viewing him, then? You a a , I remember who he,is?** t Tomorrow, in the mm of B i dancing partner, Connie spots r a promising due.
