—Let’s Go Fishing— HIGH LEVEL OF WATER SPOILS FISHING TRIPS 1 Neither Cicero Nor Eagle Creeks Give Anglers Any Luck. BV GEORGE DENNY (Pinrh flitting for Lofty Loe) The creeks mere too high for best results last Saturday and Sunday. Tried Cicero creek first, then to eagle, above Zionsville. Not a ru* at either place, and saw no one with fish, though a number of anglers were making determined efforts. It’s nice to catch fish when you go fishing, but a true fisherman won t let a fruitless trip discourage him. It spurs him on, in fact. Grandfather used to tell me how, as a boy on the old farm near Boonville, he could dig a few worms and catch a nice mess of bass at any time. But it was for food in those days more than for.sport. Now we travel miles and work hard for our fish, and if they’re not hitting that day we’re whitewashed. Have you ever stopped to think why we can't catch fish the way our grandfathers could? You don’t have to think; you know. The fish aren’t there in such numbers. Why aren’t they there? First there’s more fishing. All right, we can’t kick on that. The more persons fishing the less crowded our jails will be—Ask any warden. Breeding Cheeked Second, erosion. When the forests of Indiana were intact there were no such spring floods as we now see every year. The tree roots held the soil, and the leaf mold acted as a sponge, soaking up the rain and melting snow and releasing it gradually. Now a heavy rain washes the rich top soil into the swollen creeks, destroying the fertility of the land as well as ripping up the stream beds, silting over the eggs of spawning fish and killing the bottom larvae that constitute a major part of the game fishes’ food. Third, pullution. There’s not much we can do about erosion because land must be cleared for crops, but pollution is our own fault. If you’ve stood on the bank of a stream and watched game fish dying by the thousand, helpless in the wave of deadly acid, you would join the sportsmen who are determined that this practice must be stopped. It’s a safe bet that pollution kills more fish in Indiana in a month than all the anglers can take fairly in a year. Ask the candidate to the legislature how he feels about it. These Hurt Sport Furth, illegal and unsportsmanlike tactics such as dynamiting, spearing, seining, taking spawning fish from the nest, taking over the limit and keeping undersized fish. There are bound to be some poor sports in every game, selfish and unthinking men who have to be caught and fined before they will conform. If ! you happen to know such a person, watch him. He probably will indulge in unethical business practices and cheat at cards. Conservation will become increasingly important. Working hours are shorter. The five-day week is making for more leisure. There is no better way to spend that time than along the streams and on the lakes. More fish in those streams and lakes would add to their charm. The waters belong to you and it’s your move. N. Y. LEGISLATURE TC INVESTIGATE UTILITIES Democratic Leaders Eager to Let in Light on Activities. By 1 nitnt l'reset ALBANY, N. Y„ April 2.7-Demo-cratic leaders arrived today for the resumption of the legislative session, eager to start the machinery that will “let in the light" on activities of public utilities companies at the Capitol. Two courses of action were forecast. The first was the introduction of a concurrent resolution creating a legislative committee to carry out the demands of Governor Herbert H. Lehman for an investigation to determine the relationship of the public utilities to “any one in the state service." The other calls for an investigation by the senate judiciary committee of the inferences drawn in correspondence between Senator Warren T. Thayer, Republican whip, and officials of the Associated Gas and Electric Company, revealed before the federal trade commission at a hearing in Washington. The Christian world never has adopted one uniform Bible. There are ten different versions in use today. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Quirk Relief or You Only Pay When Satisfied.

ESCAPED PRISONER

John Allen Lay Slipping his hand through a handcuff while being taken from the courthouse to jail Friday, John Allen Lay, 19, alleged drug store burglar, walked unconcernedly away from the chain i gang and disappeared. No trace of him had been found today. Deputy sheriffs did not notify poi lice of the escape until twenty- | four hours later. JAPAN'S ARMY RULESPOLITICS Militarists Threaten End of Party Government in Country. (Continued From Page One) country in a campaign to destroy political parties of every shade. Matsuoka is a fervent patriot. He has the soul of a Samurai. He is appealing particularly to the youth of Japan, urging the return to Spartan simplicity in public life and the ways of simple honesty. He denies he is a Japanese Mussolini, but that is about as good a description of him and his program as can be given in such short space. Sons to Shift for Selves Like Mussolini he is the first to follow his own precepts. A wealthy man, he called in his sons and told them that all they will get of his fortune is a university education and 500 yen—about $l5O. Even that, he told them, is more than most Japanese boys have, and with it they must make their own ways in the world. He is opposed to amassing and holding on to vast accumulations of wealth. Old school politicians here tell me Matsuoka is not getting anywhere with his campaign. From other sources I hear that his meetings are packed with the younger generation and that among them he is hailed with great enthusiasm. Assailed on all sides as they are, the political parties face either reform or extinction. They must learn to act with courage, promptly and for the common good if they are to survive. Reform Is Imperative “Parliamentary authority is showing signs of returning.” former Secretary of Home Affairs Takejiro Tckonami told me, “but reforms are imperative. It will have to cleanse itself thoroughly before it can fully regain its last prestige. “This. I think, it will do. In any event, I do not believe Japan is headed toward any extreme—either Fascism or Communism. She is too fiimly behind the Imperial House to do that.” At least the diet is regaining its lest voice. It now dares criticise militarist abuses, an unheard-of thing in its halls for nearly three years.

Wirt, Gary, educator, today used the springboard of a sensational charge against President Roosevelt's "Brain Trust,” to publish a 48-page pamphlet entitled "America Must Lose—By a Planned Economy, a Stepping Stone to a Regimented State.” The pamphlet was published by "The Committee for the Nation” and offered in installments for serialization in newspapers without charge.

CITY INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE WEEK

SPEEDWAY RACE TICKETS SELLING AT RAPID RATE Advance Demand More Than Double That of Last Year. Following close behind the whirling wheels of the 1934 pace car of | better business, the race to get front seats for the twenty-second annual 500-mile automobile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30 is well under way. The advance mail order ticket sale opened, as usual, four and a half months ahead of the greatest single day sports show in America. Advance ticket sales over the counter started early in January at the Speedway office, 444 North Capitol avenue. The names of many racing enthusiasts, absent for several years, w r ere again back on the list requesting choice locations close to the traditional bricks of the two and a half mile oval. Reflects Better Times • Optimism, based on the continued improvement in general business conditions, prevailed in the Speedway office as clerks racked the newly printed pasteboards and prepared to take care of an unusual early sale. “We are looking forward to the heaviest early sale of tickets in the past two or three years,” said T. E. (Pop) Myers, general manager of the Speedway. “We base our optimism not only on the increasing signs of the return to better times but upon the growing interest in the 1934 race. The automotive industry is again on the upturn after some lean years and is coming back with many radical changes in both bodies and motors. Many of the new features hav'e been put ter the extreme test in past races at Indianapolis. Innovations Indicated “The public will be more interested in automobiles this year than it has been for some time and will look to the Speedway late in May for even more innovations in racing automobiles.” It is expected that the new regulations limiting the total gasoline consumption to forty-five gallons this year will bring not only many motor changes but may lead race car builders to new forms of streamlining with a view to cutting fuel consumption. Early reservations this year are more than double that at this time last year. More organized parties are coming to the race than ever before, and from all parts of the country. incomelainin NATIONSHQWN Total for 1933 Reported 3.7 Per Cent Above 1932 Figure. By Times Special NEW YORK, March 31.—The national income produced in the United States in 1933 amounted to $39.8 billion, according to a preliminary estimate announced by the National Industrial Conference Board. This represents an increase of $1.5 billions, or 3.7 per cent, over the total of $38.3 billions for 1932 Income per capita of the total population was $316 in 1933, as compared with $307 in 1932. In the three' years, 1930 to 1932, the national income declined continuously, from SB3 billions in 1929. •to $70.5 billions in 1930, to $54.7 billions in 1931, and to $38.3 billions in 1932. The figures on a per capita basis show even more strikingly than do those of total national income the decline that took place 1929 to 1932, These figures are: 1929, $683; 1930, $572; 1931, $440; 1932, $307. In 1932 per capita income was the lowest in twenty-four years, being only $7 above the per capita figure for 1909, the first year in the board s series of national income estimate. The board has developed a continuous series of estimates of national income produced covering the period 1909 to 1933, by correlating and supplementing estimates for shorter periods made by the United States Department of Commerce, the I federal trade commission, and the national bureau of economic re- | search. These estimates show an | almost continuous increase from ; $27.2 billions in 1909 to $74.3 billions in 1920. followed by a precipitous decline to $52.6 billions in 1921. Then occurred another rise to $78.5 billions in 1926, with some fluctuations from year to year, to SB3 billions in 1929. Finally, came the drastic decline in the depression years from the peak of SB3 billions in 1929 to $38.3 billions in 1932. followed by the upturn to $39.8 billions in 1933.

STRINGER COMPANY OFFERS DEVICE FOR BETTER IRONING

. BEE bb

The Ironease cord reel, which is distributed by the Roy Stringer Company of Indianapolis, is declared to be the greatest innovation in ironing since the advent of the electric iron. The nuisance of burned out electric cord, breakage of plugs, and slowness of ironing because the cord is always in the way, or old cords leaving marks on clean laundry, have all been definitely eliminated by the Ironeasy reel.

New Trips Offered by Train and Steamer Link

Pennsylvania Railroad and Grace Line Arrange Travel Innovation. Arrangements have just been completed between the Pennsylvania railroad and the Grace Line whereby travelers during the coming season can see their own country and at the same time visit sister republics at comparatively small cost, according to an announcement by C. H. Mathews, passenger traffic manager of the railroad. The traveler is carried by rail to New' York, thence by steamer through the Panama canal, via the Spanish Americas, to San Francisco or Los Angeles and return by rail to his starting point. This permits of visits on the water trip to Havana, Colombia, South America, the Panama canal, El Salvador and Guatemala in Central America and Mexico. On the trans-continental trip, commercial centers, national parks or other attractive points may be visited. The Zion. Estes, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yosemite and Yellowstone parks and the famous Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico may be seen. The trip may also be made in NAME PURDUE SPEAKER Dr. Jean S. Milner Will Deliver Baccalaureate Address. Dr. Jean S. Milner, Second Presbyterian church pastor, has been named to deliver the Baccalaureate address at Purdue university June 10, it was announced today by President E. C. Elliott. Use Sufficient Paint It is considered false economy to attempt to save on the number of coats of paint applied for surface protection. It has been conclusively demonstrated in tests by paint experts that two coats of paint applied every four years will give better service than one coat applied every two years.

It is a simple solution of an everyday problem. The reel can be clamped to any ironing board in a few seconds, or to any table that is used with other electrical household devices. Six feet of cord will conveniently reach the nearest wall outlet, and another length of cord automatically reels in and out with feather-weight tension, unnoticed in use of the iron. A swivel mounting permits free

All the prospective traveler is required to do is see his local railroad ticekt agent and to indicate what scenic part of the United States he wishes to visit and what port he wishes to leave and enter on the sea voyage. The rail-water circle ticket does the rest, giving its holder not only a close-up of his country’s scenic wonders, but also an insight into the lives and customs of the sister republics of the south through the greatest of artificial waterways—the Panama canal.

movement in any direction. When not in use the reel may be lifted from the swivel. The device is being used by merchants throughout the country as a business stimulator. Judging from the apparent demand, there likely will be some delay in shipment, and the sales volume will no doubt compare favorably with that of other items manufactured and distributed by the Stringer company.
