Gov. Handley didn't make such a bad mistake in his calculations, the people made it last November. However, the Governor can pass the buck, and the people Can’t. o o ■ Gov. Handley’s thirty-five million dollar error on the budget Isn’t ao startling when you stop to consider the Republican party in Indiana doesn’t even know what time it is. , o O■■ The donation you make to the Heart Fund might be the very _ money used la heart research, which some day might save your own life. Have a heart when you make your donation. O " O'* - Weather-wise it was a perfect spring week-end. Car brakes were screeching and young girls donned their shorts and giggled as the boys drove by in Pop’s car. Guess we’re getting old, because we don't appreciate screeching brakes. —o Yellow line parkers are not only law violators, they’re potential breeders of serious accidents. Parking too close to a corner, merely to save the deliveryman a few steps is senseless and should be stopped before someone gets killed. " o o— What has been done about the blacking out of railroad drossings from the view of motorists? If the violating railroad companies were fined a hundred dollars a day or so for a couple of weeks, this dangerous thing would be eliminated. T* 1 ' ■ • o o—-» Even the most ardent fishing hasa hard time convincing himself that it is the duty of our great farming and engineering school, Purdue University to sponsor, with the peoples' money, a school for the teaching of how to fish. Isn't that a job for the Conservation department and a conservation clubs’ Such apparently stupid sponsorships are one of the things which make it difficuE for our state colleges to get sufficient money when the Generm Assembly is in session. In all*probability, now, not to be outdone, Indiana might sponsor a school to teach the technique of crying real tears while saying good-bye to your mother-in-law—-or what have you?

Those merry fellows, the weather guessers should have red faces today after a midspring week in the face of a prediction of snowy and cold weather. ■ o o Now come the high school basketball tournaments in our great Hoosierland. Handley's errors,,. high taxes, fast-slow time and all the other momentous questions of the day will fade into oblivion. There’ll be many thrillers and not a few heartaches, but out of it all will come a state champion. It will be a pleasure to forget temporarily about the Legislature and its headaches and concentrate on pleasure. -—o—o—— Dr. Otto Strader, a Pennsylvania veterinarian and an ardent fisherman has come up with a ( revolutionary “must” for every fisherman’s tackle-box. The invention is a hook disgourger, which sounds rather mine run until you examine the precision made instrument. The disgourger, which has an eight-inch reach will remove a single hook or a plug with such ease that you will be amazed. The Hook-out, as the instrument is called, should soon appear in every fisherman’s gear and we congratulate the Pennsylvania veterinarian on his "something new under the sun*’ idea. o o A news item states that there has been a Pennsylvania railroad detective in Decatur this last week investigating a train-auto accident, which many witnesses say was caused by freight cars being parked too close to a street intersection. "What do you suppose this detective will do? — sneak up and eatch the cars too close to the street and scold the engineer. This is not a time for the railroad to investigate, unless it is merely stalling for time. This is a time for enforcement officials to act if there has been a statute violation. Too often an investigation is launched to slow down much needed action and probably some arrests. We see no scruples about arresting a railroad company if it constantly violates the' law. This definitely is not a job for a railroad detective to investigate his own employer’s possible violation. What would you do in an instance of that kind?

CHAPTER 36 PERRY remained motionless, bowed over his knees. Casson was still also, but his heart was beating violently. •'How do 1 know you will do this?” asked Perry. “If you observe your part of the bargain, I will observe mine." Perry looked up sharply. “The bargain is this,” said Casson. “If I write your story as I have said I will, you'll tell it to me again, here and now, in your words and from the beginning. You will then write a confession of the murder of Jim Macfarlane. You need not mention all the cases of blackmailing.” “You want a confession?” -Yes." ‘ Perry laughed in jubilation. “So you haven’t any evidence,” he said. -? “In order to convict yoq,” Casson replied, “we shall bring into court every particle of evidence about your blackmail. Lockyer will be a witness: so Will Miss Martin: so will Mrs. Gordonstoun: so will Jean Shaw. ..” "They'll refuse. They won’t dare.” “Moreover,” said Casson, paying no attention to him, “1 too Will be a witness. The court will not be interested in my interpretation of your career. It will take frpm me the facts only, nothing more. Those facts will be stale news when your trial is over. As a man you will be dead and as a story you will be dead. I want a confession of the murder and the last blackmail: of that and of that only. The rest will be saved to surprise them in your biography.” Perry looked up. “How do I know it will be published? How can 1 be sure that people will read about me?” “A member of my club wanted me to write tor ins newspaper. 1 shall offer your biography to him. He will take ft*” i “You belong to a club?” Perry asked quickly. “Which one?* “Cane's.” “Cane's,” Perry mused. “St James’s street. I should like to have gone into a club before I died. Will you teU my story to the members of Cane’s?” “If you wish.” •They will talk about me,” Perry said, a strange look on his 1 ttqki “They will Sit round the fire

r— — * — o Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1 Q. When g bride has received a gift from the office force, con-' sisting of perhaps a dozen employees, how should she acknowledge it? A. She may write a personal note of thanks to the chief clerk, office manager, or the person she knows had charge of the contributions towards the gift, asking this person to thank the others. Q. One of my husband s business associates was our guest for dinner, and the day after sent me flowers. Should I have written him a thank-you note? A. Yes. Q. Will you please tell who goes first on a stairway, a man or his woman companion? A. She ascends before him. He walks down first, if the steps are at all steep or slippery, so that he can protect ter should she trip or slip.

after supper and drink their dark, rich sherry”—Casson swallowed —“and they will talk about me." He brought his gaze back to meet Casson’s. But you will keep your side of the bargain?” T promise." Perry leaned back and breathed a long sigh of relaxation. "Very welt At last people will talk about me.” Casson rapped on the cell door ana, wnen uie constable put his head in, said: “Bring me some paper. Lots of it, And a jug of water.” When the water came Perry drank half a pint of it at once and started talking. By the time he nad finished, it was ten minutes to tour in the morning. “Magnificent," said Casson, his mouth raw from cigarette smoke. “Now, the confession.” Casson pushed over some blank paper. Perry took his pen out of his breast pocket. “You ought to begin by saying who you are,” said Casson. “You know. •!, John Henry Perry, of 51 Bickersteth Street, London, W. 6 . . .’ and then you go on. That’s the efficient way.” Perry started writing. He looked up. “You only want the facts about the murder?" “And the blackmail of Mrs. Gordonstoun. That explains the motive.” - It took him fifty-five minutes to write it. “There!” he announced as he put down his pen and handed the two sheets of paper to CAsson. “I think that will do. I think it is rather good.” Casson read it. It would certainly da As a death warrant it was entirely adequate. "Fine,” said Casson. He rose to his feet “Are you ready?" Perry drew in his breath And his mouth trembled. “Very well,” he said. Casson rapped on the door of the cell. He heard a yawn as the constable unlocked it again. * “Take us to the superintendent” he said. Perry followed them through the bleak hall of the station. Casson went straight into the office, giving Perry no time to hesitate. He took the confession and laid it on the desk. Strutt seized it glanced at Perry, and began to read. He finished

looked at Casson, who was standing a pace behind Perry. Casson nodded. Strutt rose to his feet. “I charge you, Mohn Henry Perry, with the murder of James Robert Macfarlane. I caution you that anything you say will be taken down and may be used in evidence against you.” Strutt put the confession ir front of him. “Do you wish to sign this?” “I do.” “Read it through. To yourself Not aloud.” Perry picked it uj and read it through. “’ls it true?” Strutt demanded as Perry laid it down again. “Quite correct.” “Then, if you wish, you may add: 1 have read this statement, which I have made voluntarily, and it is true.’ Then, if you wish to do so, you may sign it” Perry signed. see The next Sunday Casson drove out to Putney.
