The next senate of the United States will have 98 members, including the two from Alaska which will be elected November 25. and the house of representatives will have 436 members, one representative from Alaska. After the census of 1960, probably in 1963, the house will move back to 435 members, the statuatory limit. o o Nearly one-half of the corn in this county has already been taken out of the fields, and farmers have had weather as nice as any they could have ordered. This season was entirely opposite to last fall, when rainy days kept moisture up, and prevented harvesting corn until December. The fields are spotty this year, with good and bad yields in the same field. o o Veterans of all our wars will be hpnored on November 11 by a special ceremony at 11 a.m., time of the armistice of World War I, in front of the Adams Post 43, American Legion home. Robert G. Smith, post commander, will speak, and Ed Bauer, post chaplain, will give the prayer. A salute to the dead will be given by the firing squad, and taps will be played. The short program is worth a few minutes as a tribute to those who fought and died in all our wars. The public is invited to attend. —o o Now that the election is over, publicity will begin on the pros . and cons of sale of Decatur's electric light plant. The exact date for the city referendum has not yet been set, but will probably be set in the near future, possibly at tonight's city council meeting. It will take about a month to set up the election, according to the law. One person has volunteered to write a series of three articles, listing the pros and cons, and summing up the arguments for*both sides. Anyone wishing to write in letters, wheth- . er from city or rural point of view, pro or con, may certainly t do so. All signed letters will be run, if they do not contain libelous material.

Decatur Catholic high school fans, and friends of the team, will want to attend the special “Commodore Night” Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Commodore gym. A basketball rules clinic, showing all about the game, will be held. Then this year’s team will play a 20-minute intra-var-sity game. Former lettermen will be introduced by Dave Terveer, former athletic coach. The Very Rev. Msgr. J. J. Seimetz will say a few words to those who attend, and the Rev. Robert Jaeger will be master of ceremonies. Decatur merchants who are taking part in the D.C.H.S. booster program will receive special recognition. o o— The Indiana state board of health, through its bureau of special health services, is investigating the effect of radiation as a public health problem. Until man discovered ways to make radiation by mechanical devices such as X-ray machines and atomic bombs, and change natural sources into radioactive ones, the amount of radiation present was fairly constant. In fact, it was gradually decreasing as radioactive elements decayed, reaching a stable state, over millions of years. The genetic effects of even minor radiation may be beneficial mutations, of a fairly small scope, detrimental mutations, ranging from less to very serious, mutations with visible effects, and mutations with lethal effects. The percentage of beneficial mutations is very small compared to the detrimental ones. Present tests with atomic fission and fusion have led to the possibility of serious health problems in the near future. Radiation can cause cancer, and effect the life span of all of us exposed. Scientists disagree at the present time on the amount of radiation which is detrimental, but it is common sense to accept only the most conservative reports, as radiation is not well enough known to allow any margin of safety in accepting high reports of tolerance until more tests have been completed over a number of generations.

POPE JOHN IS (Cot.tinu«d from page on«) dolfo. The papal mass, the spritual heart of the ceremony, was celebrated before the papal altar. The Pope, in a sermon in Latin, stressed the heavy burdens of the pontificate and paid tribute to Pius XII. He listed the qualities required of a good pastor and said practical abilities and diplomatic skill were not enough without Christian virtue and charity. Cites Feast Day “The main precept of divine institution is the evangelistic precept of humility,” he said. “.. . All of you, in all parts of th world, who are pious and fervent, pray for your Pontiff,” He noted that his coronation “happily coincided" with the Catholic feast day of St. Charles Borromeo, a 16th Century archbishop of Milan. He said he particularly invoked the protection of St. Charles in his burden of restoring the spiritual strength of the church. The mass ended and with the final blessing the processional began moving toward the balcony. Outside rain began falling and the multitude in the square opened their umbrellas, looking like a vast sea of multi-colored mushrooms sprung up miraculously. Thunderous applause and the waving of thousands of handkerchiefs greeted the progress of the procession down the aisle and up the long flight of marble stairs to the balcony. There the big gold and jewel encrusted throne was waiting for the Pontiff. Priests and nuns had filled the roof of the loggia Dei Dame on the right hand colonnade outside. The cardinals accompanied the Pope to the door of the basilica and then went to the apostolic palace by elevator. Diplomats and special representatives also went by elevator to the loggia of the Dame and the loggia of Charlemagne to watch the coronation. Blesses City, World The Pope appeared himself on the central balcony at 12:53 p.m, (5:53 a.m. c.s.t.) to a massive surge of applause and the first shouts of "Viva il Papa!" The Pope sat perfectly motionless on the throne, his hands crossed on,his chet. The choirAsang “A Golden Crown Is Placed upon His Head” — and thn Cardinal Canali ad-

CHAPTER 29 LING STEWART selected a bay, one with only a small white star on its forehead. Marked in this way, it would be an obscure target Leading the horse, he walked aoftly along the picket line and helped cut the tie ropes of the other horses. “Ready?” he asked softly. “Ready,” Watt Sackett whispered. "Set,” Tracey Hamlin said. Ling vaulted to the back of his startled mount and kicked him in the ribs. He whirled behind the freed horses and yelled, “Eee-eee!” One of the Union soldiers sitting beside the fire jumped up and fired his rifle. The bullet sang past Ling’s ear but missed by at least six Inches, a comfortable margin. Sleeping men scrambled up and someone shouted Inanely. Ling dropped far enough behind the running horses to see how Watt and Tracey were faring, and when he saw them hurrying but not frantic, he kicked his horse Into a gallop. Six rifles cracked. Five more fired at sporadic .intervals, but the surprised soldiers were aiming at shadows. Descending a low ridge that effectively screened the fire, Ling drew to a walk. No longer driven, the horses fell to a trot and then a walk. Ling swerved his mount to where Watt and Tracey had already joined forces. “Horse thiefs!” he scoffed. "You two have really sunk lowdown! I mistrust a rattlesnake won’t talk to you when we get back to Hobbs Crick!” “Sure!” Watt agreed. "An’ who helped ua steal bosses?” “Halt!” The ringing challenge came out of the darkness, and Ling reined his horse to a slower walk as his hand dipped again to the hilt of his knife. Tracey and Watt swung away, so that a volley would not cut all three of them down. Ling strained his eyes into the gloom. Presently he saw their challenger, a shadow In the darkness, and when the thin slice of moon shone briefly through an opening in the clouds, moonlight glinted on bayonets. There were a considerable number of men, almost certainly Union soldiers, and they were directly across the line of march that the horses must take. Ling put a quaver in his voice, “If you be Rebs, leave us come In and give up.” "We ain’t Rebs." “Neither be we. We're bringln’ horses from Bromley Haddonfield and Gener’l Martin says we should bring these on to Cunnel Eustace. He wants 'em real bad.” “Whyn’t ya say so in the fust place?” the man anapped. “Would if we’d knowed who ya was”

vanced with the crown. He placed the crown on the Pope's head at 1 p.m., almost an hour behind schedule. There was a moment of silence. Then the great crowd burst into roars, only to subside as the Pope rose to bestow a blessing “urbi et orbi”—to the city and the world. Then in the familiar gesture of his predecessors he raised both hands to the heavens—an embrace to the world. The bells of St. Peter’s and the hundreds of churches of Rome pealed joyously. 50 Nations Represented The majestic religious ceremonies were held inside the basilica before a crowd of churchmen and notables from throughout the world — royalty and diplomats of I 50 sovereign nations including the United States and many nations which are on-Christia. For all its magificence, the ceremony ended on a humble note. The Pontiff returned alone from his triumphant appearance on the balcony to his austere apartments. There he took in solitude the burden of spirtlual lead-

“Ya know now! Eustace is 'bout a quarter mile ahead an' a quarter east Watch out ya don’t blunder into the Reb lines.” “We'll be careful.” Making no attempt to hide, the three drove their pillaged horses past. Ling grinned to himself. It was very sociable of the Yankee. Ling reflected, to tell them exactly where Eustace might be found. One half hour before dawn, they were back In their own camp. Captain Colin Campbell stormed out of his hut "Where have you three been?” Ling reddened, looking at the ground, and shuffled his feet "Jest ’round,” he said. "Have you been raiding again ?” “ 'Twan’t a raid!” Tracey protested. "We was jest jauntin’ up to camp when we see these bosses runnln' loose an’ we thought—” "Yes,” Colin said caustically, “you thought 'here are aome horses whose owners must be dead. Being patriotic citizens and soldiers of the Confederacy, we'll take them to someone who can use them.' Is that It?” Watt Sackett said • happily, ‘That’s it! That’s it!” "And I suppose you weren’t behind Yankee lines?” "A mite,” Ling admitted. "Next time this happens all three of you will be ordered to the guard house and kept In solitary. 1 mean It!” He stalked off furiously. They knew that he meant what he said. And they also knew that the threat of the guard house wouldn’t stop them from raiding again. • • • In the column filing past, men had their feet wrapped in blankets, rags, cow hides, or anything else they had been able to find. Os those who had shoes, aome carried them and aome wore them. Carrying shoes was a mechanical action, something a soldier did without thinking, for the routine of war had been so relentlessly hammered Into his brain that he no longer found it necessary to think. The pattern was Invariably the same: fight, rest, march, and fight again. It was logical that shoes wore out on the feet and did not wear if carried in the hand. A man should not wear them If he could be barefoot. Eventually he would find himself in a position where tjie unshod could not min and were, therefore, killed or captured. Colin Campbell’s eyes were bitter as the column filed past. He no longer retained even a faint doubt that the Confederacy must suffer defeat; the South had little last ascent' a steadi.lv weakening

ershlp of almost 500 million Catholics throughout the world. Even the flash of jeweled crowns, the rich garments of breathtaking fineness and the processionals and coronation pageantry were diffused in the humble sacrifice of the mass Pope John said bareheaded at the central altar under the 300-foot dome of St. Peter’s. It was subdued further by the thrice-rowded admonition by an assistant as the Pontiff dropped flax into the flames of a candle: “Sic transit gloria mundi. . thus passes the glory of the world. Ceremony Telecast For the 25,000 inside the basilica privileged to watch, it was a gripping moment of history. Television cameras installed throughout the great church and outside for the first time brought the magnificence of a papal coronation into the homes of viewers in Italy and 13 other European Countries. i More than 2.000 churchmen ranging from finely robed cardinal bishops to humble begging

will to fight The best they could hope for were lenient terms; even the brilliant General Lee was fighting battles of desperation. Colin glanced at the ground and smiled sardonically. It was he who had undertaken to lead the Wetherly platoon into battle on the assumption that they would fare well, under his leader* ship. Os the men who had gathered at the Wetherly barracks only himself, Ling, Tracey, ’Watt, and Jason Maxwell remained. The rest were either dead or at home, wounded. Colin hailed a passing soldier so young that his beard was hardly visible. “Tommy, will you tell Sergeant Maxwell that I want to see him?” “Right away, Captain." The young soldier scooted off, and a few minutes later Jason Maxwell presented himself to Colin. “Yes, Captain ?” he asked. "Any word from Ling, Tracey and Watt?” “No, sir." "This is the sixth day they have been missing. They never go for more than two or three days," Cohn said anxiously. ‘1 know, Captain. I still don’t see how they managed to get away. I wish 1 had locked ’em up.” “Is anyone ill?” "Private Haplan Is subject to fevers. Os course, he’s sixty-eight years old. He should be sent home, for his own sake and our’s too. He slows all of us up.” "I’ll see Colonel Anfirews and have Private Haplan sent horned Cohn promised. He wondered why Andrews, the same tenacious man the Wetherly platoon had first met on Dynamite Hill, should have come unscathed through bitter fighting, when so many other good men had been killed. He never spared himself, was always to be found where the fighting was hottest and always led by example. Colin shrugged. Just as Inexplicably, neither he nor Jason Maxwell had suffered even a minor wound. He did not have the answer. Probably the soldier's assumption that you died whin the bullet or shell had your name on it was as good an explanation as any. Colin glanced toward the road up which Ling and Tracey and Watt would come if they returned. His worry mounted. He had warned them that they would be thrown in the guard house 11 they made any more of their » raids. But they had gone. Sick al heart, he rose and made his waj to Colonel Andrews’ tent. Does a dirty white flag waved np and down always mean snr- - render, or la It sometimes a ruse? Continue the story here tomorrow.

20 Years Ago Today o 11, Nov. 4, 1938 —• Bids were received today for the Adams county memorial hospital but no action will be taken until final decision by the state board of tax commissioners on a remonstrance filed against the construction. A number of empty jewelry boxes and cases, stolen in the slugging and robbery of Jesse Sutton, Decatur jeweler, were found in Monroe township. Construction was started today on the sidewalks to the entrances to the gymnasium-auditorium at the new Decatur high school building. The annual homecoming observance will be held at the Bobo United Brethren church Sunday, with a basket dinner served at the noon hour. The high school basketball season was opened in Adams county last night, with Jefferson losing to Petroleum, 41-23. 0 — r 1 Household Scrapbook !

Let the glycerin remain on the leather for a few hours, then remove any that has not been absorbed by rubbing with a clean cloth. Hot Plates If you decide that the weather is too warm to light the oven in order to heat plates, place the dishes in a pan of boiling water for a few minutes before serving the meal. Apple Pie The next time you serve apple pie lather it with whipped cream, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. It will be a delicious change.

Four thrones were used in the ceremonies held successively in the portico of St. Peter’s, at the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament, at St- Gregory before the floodlit central altar where only a pope may say mass, and finally on the balcony outside. Invited guests in special tribunals overlooked the main altar. The American delegation was made up of Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell, Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, former ambassador to Italy, and Robert D. Murphy of the State Department. Others in the party were Mitchell’s daughter Rosemary, Henry Luce and Mrs. Murphy.

0 I Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE o " ’ ~"~ n Q. When is It proper not to make introductions? A. Although there’s no magic formula for this, generally we skip unnecessary introductions. There’s no point in introducing persons who aren’t going to talk anyway. When you pass friends on the street, you needn’t introduce the person you’re walking with unless you’re going to stop and chat. At a large party, we usually don’t bother to introduce a stranger to everyone in the room — just to one group of persons that he can talk with. Q. Is it really necessary to provide “salad forks,” or may the medium-sized regular fork be used? A. The medium-sized fork not only serves every purpose, but is in very good taste. Q. What should one say to people who have just had a death in their family?

» A. Upon the occasion of death, some expression of sympathy is always appreciated by the family, but the less elaborate the expression the better. A simple “I am sorry. Is there anything I can do?” is sincere and sufficient. Q. While in a restaurant recently, the waiter lighted some candles on our table. The light annoyed us, and I blew the candles out. Was this proper? Ar Properly, you should have asked the waiter to remove the candles. Q. How far in advance of the church wedding should the parents of the bride and bridegroom take their seats? A.
