It's an Exacting Business A COUPLE OF WEEKS ago Thomas Gi. Mackenzie, state ‘engineer for the department of conservation, sent out a’ letter regarding the restoration the aqueduct of the White Water canal between Metamora and Brookville, The idea is to keep it as a state memorial. To restore it just as it was 100 years ago, he needed some yellow poplar trees about 24 feet, long and 12 by 18 inches in girth. A fiend for details, the department would accept no substitutes, This led to quite a bit of trouble because in 100 years the state has used up most of its big .yellow poplar trees. Mr. Mackenzie soon found that mills he contacted were unable to supply his needs. The department was stumped ‘for awhile, but finally it issued a news release and seven offers of trees came through. One of the few men in the state who had the right kind for the project was Richard W. Tubbs, of the U. S. department of interior, who lives on R. R. 16. The department plans to inspect the trees soon and to use some-of them in the restoration.

Crash Gate at Kentucky Derby EVEN THE state militia sprinkled around Kentucky Derby failed to halt four Butler university students who set.out to crash the gates. Three of them got in by paying two-bits to an enterprising fellow who'd chopped a hole in one of the gates. Once in they had to hurdle a couple of fences but they made it all right. One of them hurdled right into the arms of a state policeman and surprised the officer

31,000 war brides in recent months, and hopes to, bring the total to 50,000 by June 30. The army says there are 72,000odd foreign brides altogether. But dgince some of them have changed their minds and some of the bridegrooms also have grown cold, they won't all be brought to the United tates. It is necessary for the husband to request that his wife be. brought here in order for the immigration process to begin, However, the system is fairly simple after that. G. I. brides were exempted from the quota system and most other immigration laws. Most Are English Speaking Most of the brides are Englishspeaking. About 23,000 of them came from Great Britain, 4000 from Australia and New Zealand: And 1000 from Ireland. The numbers from France, Italy and other nations are small, so far.
