- Fodest Colonel Lindbergh. Without any*blowing of horns or brass band publicity Col. Lindbergh has just completed his second. great feat. Under the auspices of Dariel Guggenheim Foundation, he has visited 82 cities in the 48 states in the same plane that he piloted over the Atlantic. The ;Spirit of St. Loauis. During the 296 flying hours of his long « criss-crogs journey of 24,000 miles he has had no mishaps, o overhauls, no forced landings, no delays because of mechanical difficqlties. The test_was a test such as no other aviator has umdergone and compares, in point of usefulness, with the daring voyage -to Europe. He has hcen acclaimed the country over, and his modesty has borne up marvelonsly under the strain. :

It is understood that he is considering an offer from the goverraaent to take charge of an aviation department under Secretary Hoover or in the war department.

Fall Dangerously HI Albert D. Fall, former secretary- of the interior and codefendant with Harry Sinclair in the Teapot Dome oil conspiracy trial, is in a critical cordition, Dr.‘J. Kilroy, Fall’'s physi, cian announced Friday night. Fall suffered a breakdown early Friday and was put to bed. Dr. Kilroy is constantly in attendance. _ The physiciar said the former interior secretary has a congestion in his right lung, which he characterized as extremely serious for a persoy of Fall's age < It is almost inevitable that Harry F, Sinclair and one of his c¢il. company officials Henry Mason Day will face trial on charges of complaintd sworn out against them today. : Day was the alleged contract man between Sinclair and the Burns de, tectives who shadowed the jurors.

He Didn’t Eat Enough. ] Mrs. Paul Emerlick, wife of a Cii cago policeman, shot and killed her husband last Sunday afternoon because he failed to eat his dinner in quantities sufficient to meet her expectations. I nspeaking of her crime the woman said to the -police, to whom she surrendered, “I sat there and thought of all the work I had done on the dinger. Then I went into Paul's room and got his revolver. Wher. I returned he was in the kitchen by the sink. He's a big man and wasn’t hard to hit,” As she is neither old nor ugly thinks the LaGrange Standard, it is altogether likely that :a Chicago jury of men will return a| verdict of not guilty against the fair murderess. But we are mindful of the fact that hereafter the averagd man will feel like eating all that hg cany possibly hold that he may prolong his days and not be shot. 5 . Terry’s: Pair of Wild Geese. ‘Ralph W. Terry came back to town the other day, after a few hours in the country, with a pair of wild geese, one weighing eight and a half 'pounds and the other "seven and a half pounds. It was only a few weeks ago that Mr. Terry appeared in town one afternoon with a pickerel which weighed twenty-one pounds and measured forty-two inches in length. It can readily be understood why it i 9 that LaGrange continues to Lold a place on the front page of thc news papers —LaGrange (Standard.

; Hip is Fractured. } Mrs. Fannie Whitehair of Fort Wayne is suffering from a fractured hip at St. Joseph’s hospital as the result of an automobile collision early Friday morning. | The automobile in which = Mrs. Whitehair was riding was driven by her husband.

Death was caused from infantile para lysis. He had been ill about two weeks. * M:" G. Brill and family of Il.igonier and grandsons, Hugh and Bobbi¢ lßrill, visited Mr. and Mrs. Ira Brill at Wolcottville.

DISSERTATION ON THE TRCOME /All Interested in the Subject Which : Is Treated Here in a Jocular : Fashion. Incomes are now being taxed. It is ‘therefore desirable that something should be known about them. An income is anything which you -cannot live upon expressed in terms of lawful ‘money. Lawful money is anything wwch will be accepted by the members of a state legislature or a police .captain or your wife. Incomes were created for two purposes: to-lie about and to live beyorfd. Many people who will not have to pay any are com‘plaining to thelr friends and neighbors about the way they are oppressed by the income tax. This is one of those natural phenomena which RO gcientist has been able to explain. "~ Incomes vary in size according to “how many peoée have worked for you in the past or are working for you at present. No income 18 without honor‘ somewhere, except in the family it laf vainly attempting to support. Here it is generally despised and looked ~down upon. 4 ~ An income tax is an effort on the part of the government to make you feel that you are wealthy. Also to lsupport the government in its main business in life, namely, living beyond | its income. : , The government, which receives a larger income than any one elss, should be taxed upon it. The proceeds might go toward relieving millionaires in distress. ‘ . Bvery income {8 known by the ‘company it keeps.—Life. MAKE ANY OLD PROPOSITION

Modern Business Man Evidently b Prepared for Anything That ; May Be Offered. As an illustration of what its editor calls the ‘“‘new disease, versatilitis,” the Engineering and Mining Journal quotes the following business card issued by a man in a western city: “General contracting.

I'The automatic professor is a me ichanical' means of teaching language .which has just been introduced and ‘which promises to become a favorite ‘because of the ease and convenience with which it enables one to acquire a language. The device consists of a combination of the phonograph with & piece of mechanism which operates & reel on which are printed words and sentences so that the student is enabled to see the word at the sama time that he hears it. The phono. graph alone has already been utilized for the teaching of language with 'some success, but the eflicacy of tha new combination is much greater and the student acquires a greater famil farity with the language, both written and spoken, in less time. It is also applicable to elementary instruction in music.

Long Lost Ship Found. The steamer Centennial, which left Muroran, Japan, six years ago for San Francisco with a cargo of sulphur and never was heard from, is reported fast in the ice off Saghalin island, Okotsk sea, near Siberia. A Russian expedition bound through the Okotsk discovered the missing ‘vessel with lifeboats gone, the name partly obliterated and her iron work corroded. , There was no sign of a human being on the ship. - 1 Capt. E. Hieber, who piloted thel Russian expedition that found thai Centennial, told G. A. Grifin, an englneer of the Philippine coast guard, of his discovery and Griffin repeated thae story here at headquarters of the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial association. Hieber has been asked for further de--tails. Docked the Cats' Tails. Monasteries and convents seem naturally to befriend cats. When Sir Henry Layard was at Mt. Athos in .1845 he noticed the number of “huge, fat, overfed cats” kept by the monks. One p’e?:uarity struck him. The cats were almost as tailless as if they were Mapx, but evidently by artificial means. “On asking for an explanation of it I was inform.d by the monks that as the.r meals were served to them on trays placed, Turkish fashion, on low stools, round which squatted those who ate, the cats, who were consiant guests af ‘dinner and breakfast, were in *he habit of sweeping off the viands and the wine glasses with their tails, which were consequently docked.” : Fody Found in St. Joe River. - The body of Mrs. Leonard A. Lydick of South Bend was taken from the St, Joseph river Wednesday morn ing. She was believed to have committed suicide because of ill health. Pay your Banner Subscription NOW

GUARD SECRET * COUDE BOOK Signals to Be Used by Navy In Time ; of War One of the Most Close | - of Secrets. _ } Few things are so jealously guarded | as the secret code baok of the United States navy. It is a book of signals— | not the ordinary “wig-wag”’ signals| used in the daily direction of the fleet |. by a commanding officer—but a codea| of signals to be used solely in time of war and in the presence of an enemy. | These secret code books are issued| only to the executive officers of a ship, | who are enjoined to protect themy against theft by every possible means, These books are threatened not 80 much by the ordinary thief as by se. cret emissaries of other governments who desire to obtain knowledge of ' what our battleships would do in tima| of action. Governments have no scrus ples against theft in such cases. The loss of one of these secret coda| books by an officer, unless explained to the entire satisfaction of the secre»! tary of the navy, would mean court, _martial and probable expulsion from the service. To the honor of our ser, vice, no officer has ever yet been brought up.charged with loss. The books are bound in heavy metal covers, so that in time of threatened capture they may be thrown over. board, sinking at once to the bottom of the sea, and thus avoiding seizure. BEST TO EMPLOY BOTH HANDS All Should Cultivate Ambidexterity . as a Precaution Against Pos- : sible Accident. ' . At a pinch we shall most of us find ourselves ambidextrous, with the left hand ready to do what the right has done. And many of us are left-handed _(ln parts) without knowing it. Per‘sonally I deal the cards and fix my buttons with the left hand, being in most other matters right-handed. But the two hands should certainly be en-“ couraged to supplement each othex_‘.i It takes only a fortnight or so for the right-handed writer to write with the left hand, and Miss Evelyn Sharp achieved it when her right arm was threatened with writers’ cramp. ' We are all born, I imagine, with " hands of equal strength and skill, and the balance should be maintained by practice. A curious instance of am: -bidexterity is that of Mr. Townsend, ‘the art editor of Punch. His drawings are done with the left hand, but his letters are written with the right. He is ‘left-handed as a billiard player, but right-handed as a card dealer. Angd ‘when he plays cricket he is a left. handed bowler, but a right-handed | ‘batsman. When you have achijeved | such ambidexterity you might cut off .your right hand without offense.— 1 T,ondon Chronicle. :

2 Annals of the FiJi Kings. : Tanoa, Cacobau’s father and great grandfather of the present Ratu, was 'one of the most villainous of all the ikings who ruled in Bau. The history ,of hig atrocities makes professional ogres like Nero and Catherine dg Medici appear like martyred saints, ‘At his death his son, Cacobau, wha 'succeeded him, strangled his father’s’ five wives, his own mother among ‘them, in accordance with the custom of the land. Later in life, Cacobay! ‘embraced the new lotu—Christianity, ‘From the date of his conversion he .committed no more outrages and dis .carded all of his wives save one, whom ‘he married with the church ceremony ‘when- both were baptized. His son ‘Ratu Abel did not look very favorably upon the new religion, and mixed very Jlittle with foreigners, yet no charges ‘of cannibalism or other cruelties werg ‘laid at his door. The present Raty Kadavu is a well-educated man, and ‘with his cousin, Ratu Pope, attended the University of Sydney.—Christian ‘Herald. - i Ruthless Gathering of Plants. Several species of British plants, 4ncluding some of particular beauty .and renown, are in danger of extine. tion owing - to ruthless gathering. .Opinion seems to be divided as ta whether or not the appropriate rems edy is to be sought in state protection. Although many wild birds and other members of the animal kingdom are ‘now commonly protected by law in iclvilized countries, there are few pres /cedents for the state protection of ‘wild plants (one of the few being the ‘case of the climbing fern in the !United States). The education ot ‘public opinion on the subject and other protective measures have been undertaken by a committee of the Sel“borne society. One proposed remedy 8 the establishment of plant and fern ,Banctuaries, or at least gardens set {aside in different localities where «@very rare British species might be .carefully preserved and perpetuated. ' Nobody but God. . . When Representative Mann, Repubilican floor leader, rose to object to a {certa.in Democratic bill he remarked ‘that his opponents had forgotten their ipledges. Their performance, he said, ireminded him of a little boy wha ‘memorized an inspiring poem to be delivered at some public exercises glven in the town school. : “Nobody knows but God and me,” began the little boy, advancing boldly down the stage. : : Then he repeated: - “Nobody knows but God and me.” Again there came a pause, and squirming, the boy screamed: Nobody knows but God and me.” It was the first tragedy of his young life. He faced disaster, stark, immutable and grim, and he yelled: “And nobody knows but God.”— Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Fortell Col dWeather, Wild geese have been flying over this section the past few nights, and various persons report the “honk, honk’ of the birds. When geese migrate south at this time of the yeor an old sign has it that colder weather l is not far off. e .

Meets With Accident. | While assisting Jay Tresler place‘ a lot of fattened hogs from a corn field into the barnyard at the . R, Tresler farm on Diamond Hill, Tuesday, S. E. Waldron met with an accis dent that will keep him in_the house for a few days. He saw the drovq make for a wheat field and inter‘cepted all but one. The dog ran for 'thig one ard it ran against Mr. Waldron, knocking him down and injurs ing one of his feet, Ligaments in thg foot are sprained or a small bong broken. : : Nappanee Man Injured. ' Fred Dellinger, employe of the Nap+ panee Utilities company, sustained a broken leg between the knee and hip and a badly bruised face and a fractured skull Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Dellinger had cut the wires on one of 'the company’s poles in Nappanee. When the guy wires and power wires were cut the post broke off at |the ground, and fell in the middle of |the street, pinning Mr. Dellinger beIneath it and crushing one side of hi | body and face, and breaking his righg ‘Lleg.
