By 10:30 p.m. the light had been knocked away from the manhole by careless drivers. About that time a car slowed down, and a young high school boy jumped out, and put the flare back where it belonged. The generous, spontaneous acts of our young people seldom are mentioned in print—too often we take them for granted. Decatur’s young men and women are as good as any in the country. The small percent of wrongdoers here, who reach the headlines, are quite negligible compared to the hundreds who graduate every year to become exemplary citizens. Each year the Federal Bureau of Investigation visits Adams county to obtain secretaries to work on confidential projects. Only stable, hardworking, uncorruptable persons can be used for such work, and Middlewesterners are known for these qualities. —o—-o Indiana's state universities and teacher's colleges were planned to provide reasonably priced higher education for those who desired it.

and high school. The state university and teacher’s college was designed to provide free or almost free higher education, with the young adult or parent paying only room and board. The Constitution of Indiana, in article 8, section 1 states: "Knowledge and learning, generally diffused throughout a community, being essential to the preservation of a free government; it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage, by all suitable means, moral, intellectual, scientific, and agricultural improvement; and to provide, by law for a general • and uniform system of Common Schools, wherein tuition shall be without charge, and equally open to all." In recent years a fee has been charged for each hour of student work. This is, in fact; a tuition, but the title is avoided. This year the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce has asked the general assembly to raise tuition fees. They state that the increased costs of the universities should lead to increased tuitions for the students. However, the increased cost of the universities also provides much research and laboratory work. Many scientific and scholarly works, much needed, but not profitable, are published. This is needed by the people and industries of the state, not by those who are working to send themselves or their children to college. The idea of free schools, on all levels, is fundamentally sound in a Democracy—it can be no other way in a free country. The spirit and word of the constitution should be upheld by the general assembly. w

CHAPTER 29 TtlE outing of Casson and Perry to the West End was a macabre one. While they walked up and down the streets of Mayfair, looking in shop windows, Casaon felt that he was alien to the people who walked the same pavements. He imagined they knew that he was looking at clocks in the company of a murderer. Casson laughed at the folly of his thoughts, laughed out loud, •'What’s up?” Perry asked. Casson gestured. '•Y<?u see all these people. How little they know of each other. One might be a millionaire and another a criminal. You just don’t know what the next person is like. They might as well be in separate universes.” Perry glanced at him. •‘Yes,” he said. They walked up the Burlington Arcade. Perry scrutinized the clocks and looked at their tags. “They’re expensive,” he commented. *T shall wait until I see what there is tn the sales.” “There’s another shop in Knightslyidge,” passon suggested “Let’s stroll along and see. The two men walked through St. James’s Square into St. James’s Street, and Perry turned up the street toward Piccadilly. The journey was a nightmare to Casson. At any moment he might meet a friend coming out of one of the clubs, and the chance mention of his real name would finish him with Perry. His spirits lightened as they crossed Jermyn* Street, but fell again when Perry insisted on standing in front of White’s Club. “Very nice,” said Perry, gazing at the splendid facade. “1 suppose all the persons in there are very rich ? Do you have to have a lot of money to join?” “Not exactly," said Casson. » “I should like to belong to such a place,” said Perry boldly. Casson was so startled that he could not reply. As they walked on, his mind became occupied with this new aspect of Perry. He had never thought the little man s ambitions' were social as well as acquisitive. To blackmail, and in the end kill, for snobbery was a repulsive conuneAt on the humah mind. Casson bought all the afternoon papers. The Standard carried a story of the arrest of a safe- 1

breaking gang. He held the paper out to Perry and indicated the headline. "You see," he said. "They always get caught 1 never understand why criminals do IL They always make some mistake.” Perry read the article, standing stiffly in the middle of the pavement. “You only read about the ones who get caught,” he remarked. “1 expect there are some who get away with it, the clever ones.” “Never,” Casson replied emphatically. “There must be exceptions?" “No. I’ll tell you why. They lose control. They lose control while they are doing their crime. That is to say, they lose clarity of thought They make a slip. They forget about it. And the police get them. You know?" Perry stopped and stared at Casson. “I don't know anything about it,” he said. “Crime doesn’t interest me." Here we are, thought Casson, spinning our fishing-nets of lies. And Perry must have had something to drink with Macfarlane on the night when he killed him. Ho couldn't have been sure of his clarity during the murder. They walked in silence. Casson broke it by commenting on the architecture of the buildings which they passed but Perry did not reply. He seemed absorbed in his thoughts. When they got to Knightsbridge he said he had done enough for the day, mumbled good-bye, and disappeared down the steps of the underground. Humming a tune, Casaon watched him go. He went into a call-box and telephoned Strutt “I’ve got him quaking/* Casson said when the Superintendent came on the phone. “You can try your dramatic society." "Good boy,” Strutt answered. “I’ll tell them to turn the heat on tonight.” “Too early," Casson objected. “Let him simmer down and regain confidence. Give him twentyfour hours. He’ll be feeling better tomorrow. When he’s got a bit of balance back we can undo it again.” . • • • Casson dozed the next morning and Mfternoon. But at last darknear seeped along the street and a church clock struck eleven. He sat on for half an hour. Then he

Do you consider it proper, when in a group of people, to speak with another person while someone else is already speaking to the entire group? A. It is rude to “cross converse.” When one attempts to talk with another person while someone else is talking to the entire group, it probably prevents that person from listening to the first speaker. He may be v«ry interested and wish ttfc listen. Q. Is it proper for a widow with two small children, who is being married again, to have a luncheon for friends and relatives after the ceremony? A. This is quite' all right. The guest list for a second wedding is usually limited only to the nearest relatives and good friends. Q. When one is eating meat, should only one bite at a time be cut? A. Yes. It shows ill-breeding to cut up the entire portion of meat into numerous pieces.

let himself out of the house, crossed Bickersteth Street, and stationed himself a few paces round the corner from No. 51. He did not need to stand there long. At ten to twelve he hoard the tread of a policeman, approaching at standard pace. Ifhe footsteps stopped. There was a repeated cough. Casson moved forward and peered round the corner. Under the lamplight was the blue uniform. An innocent, rather pink, face was fixedly regarding the roof of Perry’s house. It was the younger of the two uniformed constables whom he had met at the Chiswick Station—Police Constable Bentley. The constable moved to the door of No. 51. After the heavy rat-tat on the knocker, Casson heard the scrape of a withdrawn bolt. “Very sorry, sir,” said Constable Bentley. “Thought I saw a man on your roof. Thought it might be a burglar. Have you heard anything, sir?” “No,” said Perry. “Nothing at all.” "Think I’d better just have a look, sir.” “I assure you, Officer, that J?m perfectly safe," Perry insisted. “No one is ever perfectly safle,” Bentley replied heartily. "Besides, sir, if there were a burglar, which I think there is, you wouldn’t want to keep me out of yonr house, would you? You’d be compounding a felony.” \ The door creaked slightly as it opened, then slammed shut. The street returned to silence. Then the door creaked again. "Much obliged to you, sir,” said Constable Bentley. "Glad there was nothing. You’ve got some fine stuff there, sir, if I may say so. You want to take care of that Must be worth a lot I dare say. Tell you what Mr. Perry, I’ll tell the lads, and they’ll keep an eye on the house , . “That’s quite all right, Os fleer,” Perry broke in. “Please don’t trouble to keep an eye on the house.” “Better be certain, sir," Bentley replied.

TYPHOON RELIEF FOR OKINAWA SCHOOL—Mrs. Robert L. Sheehan presents $267.60 to Katsuhisa Kawakami, president of the student body of Okinawa Technical high school. Ryoken Tohara, principal, watches. The money was given by the Associated Churches of Decatur.

A signficant contribution to better American relationships overseas is being made by a former resident of Decatur, Mrs. Willa Dalzell Sheehan. Mrs. Sheehan, who resides in Okinawa with her husband and family, is a volunteer English teacher in Okinawa Technical high school, Mawashi City, Okinawa. Mrs. Sheehan and another American wife living in the area have volunteered to teach English at the school because they feel that in this way they are able to make a contribution to better international understanding. All of their students are Okinawans and have Japanese language and cultural backgrounds; This presents a serious obstacle to the beginning of a class in conversational English. The language barrier must be overcome by using such things as pantomine, pictures and the blackboard. The students improve quickly and are thus better able to understand the culture of the thousands of American civilians and servicemen now living on the island. The teachers receive no pay for their work, but Mrs. Dalzell reports that they are more than repaid through the rich friendships which are formed with the teachers and students. Following extensive typhoon damage to the school last fall, Mrs. Dalzell wrote to the Rev. Virgil Sexton, pastor of First Methodist church, telling of the desperate plight of the students, most of whom live at the school as well as study there. The Associated Churches of Decatur, informed of the need, rallied to the assistance of the school by raising some needed finances for rebuilding. An offering received at the annual Thanksgiving service was designated to the fund and the adult Sunday school classes of the cooperating churches of the city were asked to contribute. A total of $267.60 has been sent to the school, with additional funds promised. Mrs. Dalzell presented the money in a special ceremony to Katsuhia Kawakami, president of the student body. In doing so she said, “This money is contributed by the members of the Associated Protestant Churches of Decatur, Ind., to help with your school I program after so much destruction of your property from typhoons this year. It is the Christian belief that every man is every other man’s brother, and it is in this spirit that this money is gladly given.” The fund, administered by a committee of teachers at the school, will be used for the purchase of materials for the rebuilding. All labor is volunteered by the students and'teachers. A letter of* appreciation was recently received by Rev. Sexton

from the principal of the school. Dr. Ryoken Tohara. He requested that its contents be passed to all who have contributed. “Dear* Sirs: “I am very glad to have the opportunity to write to you. This is a letter to thank you for your kindness to our school. “The other day, Mrs. Sheehan brought a great sum of money which was sent by your churches. Last typhoon gave a great damage to our school. Seeing the damage, Mrs. Sheehan called for the help to our school from America. By her efforts, a great sum of money was sent to our school from the American people. We shall use the money for the students to reconstruct our school. “It is nearly a half year since Mrs. Sheehan came to our school to teach English conversation. She is very noble and respected by the students. Now the students are coming to speak English. I believe they will do their best to establish friendship between America and the Rypkyus after their graduation from our schooL “I express my hearty thanks to your churches and at the same time wish you a happy new year.” Sincerely yours, Ryoken Tohara Mrs. Sheehan adds, “I can’t be-
