Numerous names for various county officers are being mentioned with the election still more than a year away. Officials already in office usually have the upper hand if they have carried out their duties to the satisfaction of the people. Purpose of primary elections is to weed out the unde--bles and get men and women who will carry out the functions of their office with equal fairness to all. —o o College football, always in the sports highlight during the autumn months will get started in the next week and will be in full sway the following week.

There are certain spots in Indiana where slot-machines are permitted in the open. There are othr places where other forms of gambling are winked at by state enforcement officers. This is just part of the state mess which Governor Handley has failed to take action against. Perhaps the people will do something about it at the next election. -o Ten days in the early fall are the most sacred in the year for five million of our fellow-Ameri- , cans.

Modern ftiauette | BY ROBERTA LEE ——3 Q. Should a bride-elect write notes of thanks to all the guests who attend a shower in her honor? A. This is not necessary. Her thanks at the affair itself should be sincere and gracious enough. She must, however, write a note of appreciation to the hostess of the shower, and she can later entertain the guests at a luncheon or bridge party, either before or after the wedding. Q. When sdYneone to whom one has been introduced takes leave of one by saying, “I am very glad to have met you, “what is an appropriate response? A. “Thank you,” or, ‘Tve enjoyed meeting YOU.” Q. When someone telephones a member of the family who is absent, should one ask who is calling? A. If the caller has not identified himself, rather than ask, “Who is this.” it is much better to ask. “May I tell him who called,” or, “Would you care to leave your number?” Q. Should the dessert spoon or fork be placed on the table with the rest of the silver at the beginning of the meal? A. No; they should be brought in with the dessert plates.

| 1 teiepnoned tne airlines. A nonstop Cohvair left for Sacramento in forty-seven minutes. 1 made a reservation, climbed in the agency heap, and made time to the airport- 1 noped there would be time to telephone Bertha, but they were calling the plane by the time 1 had parked the car and picked up my ticket. 1 sprinted for the plane, and as 1 was fastening the seat belt speculated which would be worse for Bertha's blood pressure: to put in a day without knowing where 1 was. pr to have me notify her by long distance from Sacramento. It was six of one and half a dozen of the other, so 1 settled back in the seat and tried to rest Usually, the droning of the perfectly synchronized engines of an airliner relaxes me into almost instant sleep. This time I couldn’t make it. 1 tilted my chair back, closed my eyes, and my mind simply started racing, so I propped the seat up straight and looked out the window. The winding path of the old Ridge Route stretched out below. Then we left Frazier Mountain and Sawmill Mountain on our left and gilded out over the San Joaquin Valley. — — 1 could look far down below and see the tiny specks of automobiles inching their way along the thread of highway. Off to the right, the Sierra Nevadas were a solemn procession of snowcapped peaks against the blue of the sky. 1 sat there, my eyes glued to the window, my mind turning over as fast as the engines on the airplane. There had to be an answer to the thing somewhere. However, 1 had to confess that 1 was on a- wild-goose chase, and to say that Bertha wouldn't approve of the expenditure of time and money, would be putting it very, verj mildly. In fact, Bertha would have blown a gasket Then the stewardess served lunch and I relaxed. We came down in, Sacramento. 1 went over to a drive-yourself agency, showed my credit card, and picked up a rented car. I drove out to the address ot the Ambler home. It was a typical, old-time Sacramento house, reminiscent of a bygone day in California It was a tall, two-storied affair with great high ceilings, long windows with wooden ventilator-shutters on the inside, and -a mass of shade trees on the outside, trees that had been planted long be- * book published or William Morrow A Co.

Heavy Fire Damage At California Plant 18 Hurt By Blast During Lunch Hour OAKLAND, Calif. (UP) - Fira officials estimated today that the explosion and flash fire which ripped through the top floor of the Albers Milling Co. resulted in damage “in excess of a quarter of a million dollars.” There were no fatalities, but 18 persons were injured, six of them critically. The blast hit the plant during the lunch hour Monday. Some of the victims, seared or cut by flying glass, staggered from the building. Others were felled by the impact and had to be rescued by firemen and ambulance crews from a dozen cities, the Coast Guard, Army and Navy. Most of the 300 employes were evacuated from the building within 15 minutes, and the fire quickly controlled. Assistant Fire Chief Thomas A. Earris said preliminary investigation indicated the blast was caused by a.faulty dusting machine, which set off a chain-reaction explosion of grain dust. But Fire Marshal Edwin A. Hentxel agreed with company officials that exact cause of the blast may never be known.

fore the automobile had been invented. 1 climbed wooden stairs, which had begun to disintegrate, to a shaded front porch and pressed the button of a doorbell. A grayhaired woman with bird-bright eyes appeared in the doorway. “Does Mrs. Drury Wells live here "Yea.” "Are you Mrs. Ambler?” “Yes.” * "I’d like to talk with Mis. Wells for a while." "What about?" 1 gave her my best smile, and sard, "It’s personal ft has to do with her marriage, but 1 don’t want to annoy her at aIL I’d like to have you sit in on the conversation, if you would, Mrs. Ambler. Pernaps you could be of some help.” "What’s your name?" "Donald Lam." “By any chance, are you the ’ man >vho telephoned long distance this mormng and asmm lor Estelle?" "Yes." - "Why did you do that?” “To see if she was home.” "Why?" "1 didn't want to waste a lot of airplane fare and a lot of time on a wild-goose chase.” “What's your business?” "I’m a detective—a private detective." “What are you after?" “I'm trying to find out what has happened to the second Mrs. Wells.” "The second Mrs. Wells!” "Yes.” “There isn’t any second Mrs. Wells." “1 might have some information that you people would like to hear." “Come in,” she said. , I followed her through a small reception hall into a large, highceilinged living room with tall windows that looked out on the shaded yard, giving the room an appearance of restful coolness, although it was still too early for the hot weather to have set in. “Sit down,” she said. “I’ll get my daughter." She left the room and was back in a minute with a tired-eyed brunette who seemed to have thrown in the sponge as far as life was concerned. There was a dispirited sag to her shoulders and a droop to her mouth. She evidently hadn’t turned on her personality for so long she had forgotten how. (To Be Continued) .

Immunize College Students, Faculty Anderson College Launches Program ANDERSON (UP> - Officials at [Anderson College today said they - will begin immunizing students and faculty members Wednesday morni ing on a first-come first-served basis in an effort to check an “Asian” flu outbreak which affected 200 persons. Authorities said there is enough vaccine «on hand to immunize 250 persons. The only priority cited for receiving the shots was given to about 50 athletes who will travel to other cities. Dr. John Ashcraft, college physician, said he will need enough vaccine for 550 additional shots if all the 800 students and teachers at the college are to be immunized. However, he said there is “no other vaccine in sight” and he does not know when additional supplies will be available. At the peak of the outbreak last week 90 students were ill at one time. This compares with the 25 persons reported in the infirmary due to the disease today. Dr. Ashcraft said there has been a “good rate of decline” in the number of new cases since the outbreak began. . State Health Commissioner Dr. A. C. Offutt said Monday that studies of those persons stricken at the college prove the disease is “definitely influenza.” * '' L—... Perfumed Scarecrow ATLANTA.
