Whiting Brightest Spot in Depression Ridden NoTthern _ : Indiana

Whiting with no unemployment™rob lem three live banks and money in them, and lower taxes is the brightest spot in depression ridden northern Indiana. f

This refinery city of 12,000 ‘alone hag escaped the financial woes visited on the rich Calumet industrial district Hammond a neighboring city several times as large has no bank and Gary a city of some 100,000 population has only one still operating.

Whiting’s school teachers and public employees are getting their pay checks on.- time. !

More than 98 per cent of the 1931 tax levy was collected. The city tax rate was cut 15 per cent and the school levy 10 per cent through economical administration of budgets. Trade is normal, o There are only 150 families who need any relief. 7 ‘

The city owes but $48,000 in bonds although its bonding power is $600,000. Mayor Thomas S. Boyle says the $48,000 wil be paid off within 18 months.

The employment roster at the Standard Oil of Indiana refinery is near the 3,000 mark and has not fluctuated appreciably.

‘“Conservative political leadership and no politics” ig Mayor Boyle's exlanation of the/eity’s record.

Reasonable Slash Asked

A form letter to all county assessors of the state wa sent out by officers of the County Assessors association asking them to make a reasonable reduction on real estate values but not to make a radical one. ’

“‘Numerous meetings have been held recently in’different localities of the state demanding 50 per cent reductions in all real estate values”’ the letter said. “The undersigneq members of your County Assessors association have made a careful study of conditions and it is our opinion that such reductions are not warranted by facts. '

“A recent survey taken by field meg of the state tax commission shows the following 2,242 transfers (not forced sales); sale price $9,489,274 and present assessed valuation $9,162,807.

Jean Stamper 21 was sentenced from Newcastle October 24 1930 to serve two to fourteen years in prison after her conviction on a chage of aiding her husband, Joel Stamper in robbing the Twelve Mile State Bank the preceding August. Her husband was sentenced to fifteen years in state prison at Michigan City. Juanita Daughty 23 was sentenced to the prison April 12 1929, after she was convicted of smuggling keys and saws into the Clay County jail at Brazil enabling three men to escape.

Both had escaped from the prison previously Mrs, Samper once and the Daughty woman twice. ' Mrs. Stamper and Miss Daughty were working in the prison kitchen when they escaped. A matron called from the kitchen to some other part of the prison forgot to pick up her keys from a table when she left the room.

Special Training Given to German Farm Girls In Germany, where modern farm machinery is prohibitive in cost, one sees ‘the farm girls not only as assistant housekeepers, but working in groups in the fields. For such girls training schools have been established, of which the one at Wusterhausen an der Dosse is a good example. This school is in the province of Brandenburg, not far from Berlin. The school trains girls in various branches of agriculture and housekeeping by providing practical experience in both. An agricultural commission of the Brandenburg province founded the institution in 1908. It has 12 acres of ground, part of which is on the shore of a pretty lake. Special attention is given to cooking and baking; the various meéthods of canning and of storing vegetables and fruits are taught, as well as the preparation of fruit wines, the salting and smoking of various meats and even dining-table service. In ~the kitchen one sees the girls at work at these tasks dressed in their blue and red-striped aprons, blue dresses and white headgear—which add to the immaculate appearance of the glistenIng white-tiled walls and floor. The work changes with the seasons and so in the winter comes the hogkilling and dressing, sausage-making and poultry dressing. Cheese, of course, are made the year round. Then there is the apiary. The girls at Wusterhausen don their bee-veils and rob the hives. During the winter months the girls have their lessons in: health and hygiene, nursing the ill, care and training of the infant, buying, hookkeeping and art for the home.

Special Water Provided : for “Residents” of Zoo The merchant ships that move about the world’s ocean carry a variety of queer things in their holds. One may arrive at Hamburg with a consignment of elephants for the world’s circuses; another may discharge at Secondee tons upon tons of ancient uniforms for the adornment of native chiefs. But perhaps the quaintest cargo ever borne at St. Katherine¥’ dock, in London, from the Philomel. She was loaded with sea water. Most ships pump out sea water as fast as it makes its way in. but this one pumped it into special tanks and carried it all the way from the bay of Biscay to London. In fact, she makes a habit of doing it. The water is for the fish in the aquarium at the zoo, and only in the bay of Biscay can the required crystal-clear water be obtained. It comes from a small stretch of ocean between Bordeaux and Ushant. Each tank is sealed as soon as it is filled, and on arrival in London it is tested in the zoo labora‘tories.

In the Saxon Alps

When you are in Dresden, says a traveler, take the 45-minute ride to Rathen, a lovely little village on the Elbe, where Saxon Switzerland begins. The highest “mountains” in this section are only aboui 400 feet from the base, but many a climber who has conquered Mont Blane has had to hesz tate before them. The Germans are fond of testing their skill on the Saxon Alps, and come in large numbers every year. Ferpendicular cliffs provide very few ledges for feet and hands, and the usual mountaineering technique is useless. But because of the coarse sandstone rock, a soft shoe and a clutching "hand hold firmly to the Aat surface—it is this trick which makes such a sport of climbing in Saxonyv. '

Beethoven Proud of Piano

In 1818 Beethoven received a present of a splendid piano from some English makers and beside the keyboard the leading British virtuosi had scratched their names, Robert Haven Schauffler writes in the Outlook. Beethoven was delighted. In his most elegant Erench he wrote a letter of thanks, promising to regard the piano “as an altar on which I shall present to the divine Apollo the highest offerings of my spirit.”? : When told it was out of tune he replied with the characteristic suspicion of the deaf: “That’s what they all say. They would like to tune it and spoil it; but they shan’t touch.it.”

London Police Weapon

A wooden truncheon, or staff, made of cocus wood, 15 inches long, with a leather strap to secure it to the wrist, is the traditional weapon of the Metropolitan police of London. Revolvers are kept only at the stations, to be issued in special cases where there is reason to believe that encounters with armed criminals are likely to oeccur. Mounted police have longer truncheons. The Metropolitan police orders provide that truncheons are to be used only in extreme caseg, and whenever used by a constable must be submitted to the station officer for subsequent inspection.. _

Awkward

A weak-looking little man called in a physical culture expert for advice as to how to strengthen his arm muscles. The expert gave him a chart of exercises, and said as he pocketed his fee: ‘“All these exercises for increased strength must be done in front of the open. window.” :

The little man looked doubtful. “That’s rather dificult,” he said. “You see, I want the increased strength first so that I can open the darned window !”
