uy Session” Most Expensive: in History of State, Journals of Both Houses Reveal;

‘Maintenance’ Was Cause.

The recent Republican-controlled legislative session was - the most expensive in the state’s history from the standpoint of money actually spent for operation of the 61-day session. ~The 1948 senate and house journals, which have been filed with the ‘legislative reference bureau show that the. total expenses for the past session were $204,191. This exceeds by $31,653 the expenses of the 41 G. O. P.-

controlled session and by $36-|" 500 the expenses of the ’39 session in which control was divided between the two major parties. Voted Extra Pay The all-time high expense record 8et by the recent session was due solely to the $45,750 in maintenance - money which the legislators voted themselves. (Each of the 150 members received $5 a day for maintenance, in addition to their $10 daily salary, for the 61-day session.) Had the legislators not voted themselves this maintenance money, “the "43 session would have dropped below both the ’41 and ’39 sessions on expenses. Otherwise, the fairly economical. Biggest saving was in miscella - neous expenses, supplies, printing, etc. Together, both houses cut this item about $10,000 below that spent by the ’41 session. The ’43 senate spent only $8398 for miscellaneous expenses as compared with $14,594 spent by the ‘41 senate, and the 43 house spent only $12,405 as compared with $16,413 spent by the previous house.

AXIS IS REELING UNDER AIR DRIVE

For 1st Time the Allied 3-Front Bombings Are

Proving Effective.

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, April 15.—For the first time since the start of the war, the axis now is rocking under a threefront allied bombing offensive which is dropping a record tonnage of explosives on Germany, Italy and occupied territory. The United States army air force and the roya! air forces have been carrying on unprecedented attacks directed primarily at the German war industries in the Ruhr, thé Uboat bases and facilities, and transport mediums. Since the start of the closing phase of the battle of Tunisia, American and British long range bombers based in Africa and Malta have joined in with steadily mounting attacks on the Italian mainland, Sicily and Sardinia.

East Prussia Feels Fury .

Now the Russian air force has opened up a third major bombing sphere with three heavy raids on East Prussia in the last few days. Whether the Russians plan to maintain long range bombing pressure aaginst Germany is unknown, but speculation arose that the raids

4 may be connected with apparently

developing German moves against Leningrad. Koenigsberg, East Prussia capital, is known as one of the chief German bases in the rear for the

TEMPERANCE PRAISED AS SUPREME VIRTUE

Temperance is the supreme personal virtue, the Rev, Harold I. Bowen, Evanston, Ill, said in a noonday .Lenten sermon today at Christ Episcopal church. “It is the natural outcome of the sane and balanced minds,” he said. “Few men are temperate in all things, but there ought always to be a certain movement toward absolute self-discipline. To be tem--perate with liquor and intemperate with mince pie is to miss the mark.”

HERE IS THE TRAFFIC RECORD

The Soviet attacks were believed to have been carried out by the red air fleet’s counterpart of the American flying fortress. The Russian bomber is known as the TB-6. It has a reported range of about 1200 miles with a 6000-pound load.

900-Mile Round Trip

«The TB-6 is a four-motored 3

bomber equipped with 1100-horse-power Hispano engines. It is used primarily for night bombing, and therefore is not believed to be as strongly gunned and armored as the fortresses, the world’s most heavily armed and armored bombers. Koenigsberg is the closest major German target to the Russian bombing bases, but a raid on that city probably involves a round-trip flight of about 900 miles. ' Only sporadically during the war have the Russians engaged in longrange bombing, probably because the planes have been needed for close-in work along the front lines. However, with the current lull along most of the Russian front, the Red air fleet may be joining in the general allied bombing offensive against the axis. Naples Gets It Hard

60 OVER QUOTAS

| Bond Drive Over-Subscribed

In Clinton, Blackford And Martin.

Three more Hoosier counties reported their April bond quotas over-subscribed today in Indiana's drive to beat the nation at the job of beating the axis. James Cronin Jr. of Hartford City reported that in his city alone $245,000 worth of bonds already had been sold to top the entire Blackford county quota of $200,000. Clin-

‘tton county has sold $1,252,143.75

worth of bonds to beat the big drive quota of $1,180,000. In Martin county the “little fellows,” the $18.75 purchasers, put Martin county over the top in a cqunty-wide bond rally at Loogootee with $98,000 pledged on a $94,000 quota. A state-wide report on the first week of the biggest war loan drive in history is due by the end of the week.

Long llinesses Affect Food Requirement of the Body

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Few illnesses fail to bring upon the physician the following

from those attending the patient:

Diets in general fall into several categories. It the illness is of short duration, the diet is of relatively little im of long duration, the nutritional requirements of be met, as well as the specific requirements dictated by the

and its ravages. The common cold, the measles,

and such self-limiting diseases of

short duration call for no special dietetic care. The lack of appe-~ tite for a few days should be recognized and accepted as the normal course of events. As the disease subsides, the appetite returns and the deficiency in nutriment is made up. Likewise, the child who is otherwise well and whose weight is within normal limits need not cause worry if for periods of days or even several weeks he seems to eat little. The best index to the amount of food a child needs is his weight. If this reading is within normal bounds, and the food that is taken is of sufficient variety, the quantity will adjust itself over a period of time.

Food, “Sleep-Producer”

The fallacy that old people require less food than they took before should be subjected to some scrutiny. Age does not alter the protein requirement of the body. Carbonhydrates may be taken in sufficient quantity to maintain a normal weight—but a moderate restriction in fats may be. indicated, Food serves as one of the best sleep-producers, and as the appetite lessens with age, the use of condiments and relishes plays an important role in stimulating hunCoffee and tea are often omitted on rather flimsy pretexts. If they do not produce insomnia, they may add zest to the diet, and help maintain an adequate flued intake. Fever Is Wasting

In the presence of prolonged fever, the tissue of the body is broken down at a rapid rate, and therefore food is needed in more than usual quantities. It is important to prevent the wasting that accompanies long-continued fevers by balancing the increased burning up of food by an increased caloric intake. - Diet for a convalescent contains the normal, balanced values; including no foods difficult to digest. Tender or cheaper cuts of meat (scraped, ground, thoroughly cooked), eggs in any form except fried, soft custards and puddings and similar desserts, milk, refined cereals are all proper. The amount of bulk or roughage should usually be curtailed or provided in the form of ‘cooked fruits or vegetables.

BETTER GARDENING WEATHER IN OFFING

The weather bureau had a more pleasant outlook today. Warmer weather tonight and tomorrow morning, is predicted, will end the snow and winter weather of the past few days. The forecast was welcome news to farmers and gardeners who have been worried about early growing vegetation. The bureau’s weekly crop report feared some harm to the state's winter wheat crop because of the cold. It was reported that some fields may be plowed up and sowed with oats because of the damage.
