NEW YORK, Sept. 21—Here it is fall again, and all these people are still walking up and down BroadWay.| I believe theyre the same people who were walking up and down when I was here in May. They must be the same ones, because the way theyre i packed in they certainly couldn’t have moved more than a block in the last four months. | , You just ought to see Broadway around 8 o'clock -of a Sunday evening, for instance. You never knew: there were that many people in the world. I'm not exaggerating when I say you can barely move. It's no use to hurry or dodge. There just aren't any openings. = It's a solid,| seething, mooning mass. . ) That Girl is certain the whole business some day will simply sink down into the sea and into oblivion, from the sheer weight of its own ghastliness. So break it up, New - York, if you know what's good for you. f ‘The first night we were hele, we were sitting in the ‘room about 8:30 reading the papers, when we heard four or five “bangs.” But you heal so many autos backfiring, that we didn't even look out the window. 2 But in a couple of minutes the sirens started to scream, so we looked. And there, just across the Street ({was a man lying dead in _the gutter, with his ‘head up on the curbing. his face with a newspaper.

Death of a Nobody

We had heard him killed. He had been walking down [the street with a revolver in his hand. A policeman started after him. They shot it out smack in the| entrance of the Plymouth Theater, where the crowds) were just entering to see the play ‘Separate Rodms.” LC The man shot a Negro porter through the jaws. He shot the cop through the knee. The policeman fired only once. The bullet went through the man's chest. As he fell, he turned his own gun to his head, and committed suicide with the last shot.

Police were covering -

The dead man lay there on the street for nearly two hours, while 15 mounted policemen held the crowds back, and other policemen measured and took pictures, i ; I can't- tell you the horrible feeling of despair that we had looking down upon that scene. The man lay there on the pavement, so still, all twisted around awkwardly. Just lay there like a dog, in public. “There is no dignity even in death,” we thought. Finaily, after long hours, they put him on a stretcher, wrapped a canvas around him, and whipped him into the Black Maria. The crowd drifted away. We could hardly speak. If it had been somebody important, I don’t think we would have felt that way. But he was nobody. They just lugged him away. “There goes nothing,” we said. Nothing to begin with. Nothing in the end. Just ugly and awkward and bloody and dead, in a public gutter.

Not All Is Tragedy

Last spring, some of you may remember, I was in New York to start that transcontinental bus trip to San Francisco. And in the last 15 minutes before leaving, I saw a man killed by a taxi. It was at 45th and Broadway, within half a block of where our man was shot last night. I don’t know about New York. But you see good things, too. New York is still thick with mounted policemen. There is one or more in every block in the Times Square district. They just sit idly, on their horses along the curb, between the parked cars. And, walking along the other night, I noticed that almost every policeman was sitting and talking good-natured} to pegple while they patted his horse. At one place. a man was hsélding up a little baby and, letting it stroke the horse's head. At another, a beautiful -girl in fine clothes was petting the horse. Just for fun, I walked five blocks and, in every single one, somebody was petting a policeman’s horse. ‘The other night we kissed $6.60 goodby and bought two seats to “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” The seats were way over on the side, and I got a crick in my neck from looking at an angle, but even a broken neck wouldn't have made me sorry I saw that show.

lan, |wife of the District Attorney, author, house-

wife,| mother, public speaker and a typical Indiana basketball fan who has been known to “boo” the referee. Mrs. Nolan looks like none of these, however. Once the belle of Evansville, you'd never guess that she was about 40. Her blond hair is cut short in boyish fashion, ®she has clear blue eyes and she has the appearance of smiling all the time. People who meet her are always surprised to learn she's the mother of a senior at I. U. (Val Jr... .. “He's only 20, though”): The other two are Alan, 17, a Shortridge senior, and Kathleen, an S. H. S. sophomore. She has written for countless magazines and is already known from | one end of the country to the other for her books written. for ‘teen age youngsters—“The Young Douglas,” “Red Hugh of Ireland,” “Hobnailed Boots”

ever writes a line of a book. First, she organizes her story, chapter by chapter, in pen and ink. Then ‘she gets |into a smock or comfortable house dress and starts pounding her typewriter. She goes. clear through the book before revising or rewriting a line. She has amazing powers of concentration and not even a houseful of. 1oisy children can shake her calm when she’s at the typewriter.

Children. Come First ,

The children come first, however, and when they ask her to stop writing she lays aside her typewriter without a murmur. In the fall and spring, she enjoys walking through the woods and fields with the family and she also gets a lot of relaxation out of reading. She's one of the Library's very best customers.

She attends a lot of I. U., Butler and Shortridge | © football and basketball games and she considers her-

self one of the most ardent rooters of all three. She gets pretty excited in basketball and angry when the referee starts ruling against her favorite. That's typically Hoosier, though. If she has a pet peeve, it's shopping. She isn't

Shakam By Earl Richert

OW that fish can start circulating again without fear of sunstroke, thousands of Indiana anglers and their families are turning their thoughts to week-ends at Shakamak State Park. The park's two artificial lakes, Lake Shakamak and Lake Jason, comprising more than 100 acres, provide some of the best fishing in southwestern Indiana. : Even the word = “Shakamak” means (“river of the long fish.” “Shakamak” was the Indian name for the Eel River which flows near the park and from which the park got its name. The lakes are heavily stocked with bass, bluegills, crappie and other game fish. The fisherman may rent one of the 50 boats which are on hand or may fish from any point ‘of the five-mile wooded shore line. Due to the construction work on Road 40, Conservation Department officials. advise Indianapolis residents going to the park to take Road 67 southwest from Indianapolis to Switz City, go west from Switz City on Road 54 to Linton, north from Linton on Road 59 to Jasonville and then west for one and one-half miles on Road 48 to the park. This route is a little more than 100 miles, The Road 40 route, approximately 90 miles, is the shortest way to the park, however, and may be used if a person isn't in a hurry to get there. A 30-mile speed limit is in effect along most of Road 40. . : 8 nn O take this latter route, the motorist should turn south on Road 59 at Brazil, go to Jasonville and turn west there to the park. ! In addition to its fishing fame, Shakamak State Park is known throughout Indiana as the “ideal

Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—The 1940 census figures now coming out will give every American something to think about. They show, as has been predicted by population experts, a decline in the rate of population growth and in the absolute amount of this growth. 3 The country hasn't stopped growing and no catastrophe is around the corner. As with one reaching maturity, the growth is coming much more slowly. Experts who have been right in the past predict an actual decline in the population some time during ..the next 50 years. If you think back over the affairs of your community, and recall how much of its prosperity and business resulted directly from population growth, it becomes easier to understand * how our national economy has been pushed along by the one factor of rapidly growing population. Our country has always been geared to a rapid growth | of population, which has been the most sensational | in the history of any people. Until the Civil War we added ahout 30 per cent to our popula=tion each decade. In the last decade we added about 7 per cent. In each of the two previous decades we added about 15 per cent. :

The Declining Population

By Raymond Clapper

the older generation. Farming, manufacturing, real estate, all lines of activity were booming. Many had grown rich solely because they had bought farms which became town property as cities expanded. Wealth piled up from unearned increment in a rapidly growing country. Short depressions were followed by more expansion than ever. Growing population forced new prosperity. So I can hardly believe the figures, although I know they must be correct, which show that population actually has declined in a number of Middlewestern states—Nebraska, Kansas, North and South Dakota, and Oklahoma. Census experts attribute this to drought. It is no reflection on the energy and enterprise of the people, who have battled unfriendly nature with the same determination that previous. generations showed in settling the West.

Cushioning the Shock

The New Deal has been accused of defeatism because it has recognized that population growth is tapering off and that this is bound to have effects on our economy. SA It surely is not defeatism to see a situation developing and to try to deal with it, It surely is not defeatism when a Government, noting areas suffering such adversity that part of the population is driven cut, uses the resources of the whole nation—the resources of the more fortunate sections—to cushion the impact.

Our America

Economists differ as to the effects that will result from g change to a stationary or declining population, but in any case these effects will be so gradual that adjustments will take place slowly. Yet changes there will be in 10, 20 or 30 years. It seems hardly likely that business growth will come as much from population growth as from higher living standards.

The New Deal's fault has not been in tnat direction but in failing to do as much as could have been done to bring private enterprise into the plan. Those who think the Government can do it all are just as much off balance as those who think private industry can do it all. ’ Private business must have profits. But if it is something that won't yield profits then maybe it is
