Ready for Signature. Four bills passed both houses of the smergency legislative session and are ready for the signature of Governor Jarry G, Leslie. One was a senate rill and three were house measures. The bills were placed on the govers lors desk after the legislature had been in session 22 days. With the exceptions of the appropriation bill, theyp were the first to win approval of both houses.

Most important of the four was the one which would permit Indiana banks to borrow from the Reconstruction Finance corporation, The others would provide for repeal of the 1929 act requiring counties to build roads to cemeteries on petition of 300 taxpayers, limit sheriff’s commission in sales of ptoperty,’and return to the school and general fund of Union township, Elkhart county, surplus bond funds.

Pass Bills.

Suspending constitutional rules to speed action, the Indiana general assembly passed bills which it declared would give the taxpayers millions of dollars of reief, : The senate passed two house billg giving counties, cities and towns one« half of the gasoline tax collections and one-half of the automobile ilcense receipts, so county road levies may be wiped out, unemployment benefitted and road bondg retired. The measures now go to the governor for signature or veto.

The money it was estimated would amount to approximately $12,500,000 in 1933. TUnder the present law, the counties, cities and towns get only one fourth, of the gasoline tax and none of the license receipts, the state highway department receiving three-fourths of the former and all of tre latter, The house by overwhelming vote, passed a bill cutting approximately $1,600,000 from the biennial budget appropriation. Straight 15 per cent reductions were voted all departments except penal an dbenevolent institue tions ang judges, They were given a ten per cent reduction in the bil}, which now goes to the senate for its consideration.

Christian Science Services,

‘Love’ was the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churcheg of Christ, Scientist, on- Sunday, July 31.

Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the £ollowing from the Bible: ‘Do not err my beloved brethren. But be ye do~ erg of the world, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. But who~ 80. looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a does of the work, thig man shall be blessed ni his deed’ (James 1:16,22,25). °‘lf ve fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love they neighbor gs thyself, ye do well’ (James 2:8). : "The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, ‘Science and Health with Key to the Secriptures,’ by Mary Baker Eddy: ‘Love for God and man is the true incen. tive in both healing and teaching. Live inspires, illumines, designates, ang leads .the way. Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action. Love is priestess at thea Iter of Truth. Wait patiently for divine Love o the move upon the waters of mortal mind, and form he perfect concept. Patience must ‘have her perefct work. (p. 464), :

Bermudians Still Seek Spanish Treasure Trove

Spanish treasure may yet be found in the Bermuda islands if ancient records and traditions still ‘current among the pecple are to be believed. Most of it must have been buried prior to 1609, when the islands were colonized, at the time when Spanish ships, both pirate and authorized, were carrying stores of wealth from Central and South America.

The early settlers In Bermuda were considerably excited over the possibility of recovering some of the gold, and in 1693 made a determined effort ] to discover it. Several witnesses before the governor spoke of remembering a triangular heap of stones on one of the outlying islands and a yellow tree to which an engraved brass plate?/was affixed, while others testified to a wooden cross which pointed toward a mysterious stone pile. One man swore on oath that he had seen & phantom ship; cross the harbor and that “fire drakes” had alighted upon it. An earlier governor had attempted to find the treasure with the aid of a mystic white stone, but the expedition’s work was stopped because some of the citizens “thougm} it not lawful to find it that ‘wap‘-«"' Somewhat later a Bermudian pu~ehased a whole island from the proprietors o' the Bermuda company with a lump oo}, ambergris, because he was sure that he had located the treasure trove. And Bermudians still call a certain point Moneypiece rock, because several strange coins had been found near the spot.

Airplane Control That : Takes Burden of Flight

The Sperry airplane pilot is an invention which makes flying safer. It is a gyroscopic control which makes instant corrections for all effects of air currents and shifting of weights upon an airplane, and keeps the craft flying in a perfectly level position on a true course. It is a control that has been used by the military services in bombing planes and is designed on mechanical principles identical with the automatic steamship pilot which has been in use for many years. Many merchant - and - naval vessels are equipped with the device. The airplane pilot does not eliminate any of the crew, but takes the strain of long flights from them. The crew makes all take-offs and landings in the usual way, turning the plane-over to the automatic pilot to be kept level and on a straight course after the craft is in the air. It can fly through ‘darkness or fog as easily as through clear weather, and is essential to uninterrupted air transport services and long flights, allowing the pilot to concentrate on navigatien.

Humming Bird Tame

The humming bird lacks much in size, perhaps, but it can lay claim to the distinction of being exclusively a New world bird, for it is found in North, South and Central America. - Because the ruby-throated humming bird is the only one found in this section, in faect, found anywhere east of the Mississippi, it is perhaps not as generally known as it should be. There are about 400 species of humming bird, but only 15 or so are known to North America., . ]

Their habit of being constantly in flight gives the impression that they are timid 'birds, which impression is wrong, for the birds can be trained to eat sweets from the hand. Their constant flight is due rather to weak feet than to fear. :

The Transformed City

. Along the road to Tomorrow a young man strolled in search of the wonders of the Future. Moonbeams played about him and the air was full of stardust, and it was not long before weariness overcame him and he fell asleep by the wayside. -When he awoke, he continued on his way until a city appeared. Quickening his pace, he was soon at its gates. There he inquired of him who stood on guard the name of the city. “It Is called Yesterday,” was the reply, and the young man gaped in Surprise. You see, he was a very young man and one who had much to learn—particularly that Tomorrow is certain to become Yesterday when one falls asleep by the wayside.—Detroit News.,

Welcomed New Daughter

The letter to her new daughter-in-law which. Martha Washington wrote, considered by critics an almost perfect example of expression, was as follows: “My dear Nelly:—God took from Me a Daughter when June Roses were blooming—He has now given me another daughter about her Age when Winter winds are blowing, to warm my Heart again. I am as Happy as One so-afflicted and so Blest can be. Pray receive my Benediction and a wish that you may long live the loving Wife of my happy Son and a Loving Daughter of Your Affectionate Mother, M. Washington.” 5

Of Paleontological Interest The La Brea pits are in the ‘city of Los Angeles, Calif. Numbers of very interesting paleontological specimens of fossil animals have been recovered from them. La Brea is the Spanish word for tar and these pits are so ' called because of a deep tar formation which held the bones of these prehistoric animals in a fine state of preservation. The pits are located in a public park on Wilshire boulevard, Which is the main arterial highway leading from the heart of Les Angeles due west to the ocean. = . The much talked of total eclipse of the sun on August 31 to be wholly visiblein New England states will be partially visible in this part of Indiana, according to the U. 8. meteorologist B, M.

Every one knows that boys are made of snakes and snails, and puppydogs’ tails, but— : Where ‘did the puppy dogs come from? Nobody knows! ° The dog has been man’s companion and friend for so many centuries that the trail back to his origin vanishes in the mists of antiquity, says the Chappel Kennel Foundation, Rockford, Illinois. Except that they were the first wild ecreatures tamed and loved by human beings, nothing about the dog’s ancestors can be proved. Study of the canine origins by the Foundation indicates that one coms mon belief may soon be shattered. This is that the dog is descended from the wolf or some closely related pres-ent-day mammal. " Two facts weaken this theory. The natural tendency, after a species is tamed, is for the remaining wild forms to disappear. But although the dog has been subservient to man for many centuries, we still have wolves. Furthermore, dogs never show a tendency to revert to the wild forms referred to, as would be natural if they were of the same species., Conversely, attempts to educate captive wolves, foxes, jackals and hyenas to the point where they show any affection for human masters, all have failed. - e

So, while the dog shares many traits of these wild animals, it seems most likely that his ancestor was not one of them, but a distinct species which, in accordance with the law of nature, has ceased to exist.

- What are believed to be skeletons of this early animal have been found recently, embedded in rocks formed before man himself appeared upon the earth., Discoveries in the Tennessee mountains indicate that some of

these animals were native to America. “Whatever his origin, the dog is, and always will be, the only animal which can be trusted through his own affections ‘alone to stay with, love and defend a human master, Even the horse, after years of companionship, will distend his nostrils and cheerfully depart when a chance for freedom offers. Incidentally, the horse, which was domesticated centuries later than“the dog, is the latter's natural prey. A dog always prefers horse flesh to all other meat: under natural conditions, and the ¢wild” dogs of the prairies will always pull down a colt in preference to a calf or a lamb.

‘Science is well on the way toward proving why horse-meat is the most nearly perfect single food for canines, The dog’s digestive system will extract the same amount of nourishment from seven pounds of equine (horse or zebra) meat as from eight pounds of the bovine (cow or ox) meat commonly fed to dogs. All the dog expects for his loyalty and devotion is reasonable care. .He will enjoy a long and healthy life if he lis properly fed, exercised and groomed. .

He should have a meat ration, but his present-day living conditions require that it be balanced with a certain amount of cereals, minkrals and oils. | One such meal every evening, a few ‘dog biscuits for breakfast, and plenty of water, are all he needs. This diet is easy to supply, for the balanced meat ration may be had in the canned form, ready to feed. Like all meat-eating animals—including humans—the dog needs a certain amount of free exercise every day. Frequent bathing -is not good for a dog. But he should have a thorough brushing every day.

The date of the annual corn school at LaGrange has been changed form the first week of October, when the Auburn fair is to be held to the week ‘of October 10 to 14. . |
