Persons interested in cbtaining gamee fish from the state hatcheries to stock lakes or streams in their community, can obtain application blankg by addressing the Divisen of Fish and Game Department of Conservation, State Library Building Indianapolis, Ind. ~

Hundreds of apnlicatious for special plantings ofi game fish were fiiled by the state hatcheries during the past year and an increased demand ig anticipated for 1936. The state hatcheries will propagate large and small mouth bass, rock bass, bluegills and red eared sunfish this year for planting in lakeg and streams. In recent months the demand for rock basg has grown materially with the result that the propagation of this popular game fish is to be increased. Th division of fish and game will have in operation this year for the first time a number of hatchery ponds constructed on various state properties. These with the increased facilities at the regular hatcheries are expected to increase the production of game fish. In addition the division of fish and game is again contracting with local conservaton clubs for the operation of hatchery ponds to propagate game fish to_ be used in stocking lakes and streams. Driven From Bedg The farm home of Ray Hively of Thorncreek township, Whitley county was destroyed on fire believed to have originated from’ a defective flue.

MOTORS KILL 36,400 IN YEAR National Safety Council Seeg Hope For Cut In 1936 . Toll Motoy vehicle deaths reached a new all-time high of 36,4200 during 1935, compared with 36,101 for the ‘previo'us year, the National Safety counci] reports. Final months of the year wiped out an anticipated decrease in fatalities but the counci] said the increase in motor travel wag 4.3 per cent greater based on registration for 1935 compared to 1934. The death rate per 100,000 population wag 28.5 the same as in 1934. The increase in population offset the slight advance iy fa‘talites. The council points out that if death had increased in proportion to motor car registratin the figures for last year would have been 37,500, and had fatalitiegs kept pace with gasoline consumption there would have been more than 38,000 persons killed. Eastern states, including New Engiand. made the best showing compared with the previous year, by reducing fatal accidents 3 per cent. Massachusetts and Rhode Isiand led with decreases (11 months’ figures) of 19 per cent and 15 per centi, respec tively. Outstanding improvement in the midwestern group of states was shown by North Dakota Illinois and Minnesota with decreases of 23, 12 ang 8 per cent. Florida and Missis~ sippi showed the most favorahle re~ductons in the south, while in the west, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and Montana all showed reductions of more than 10 per cent. Certain citieg turned in outstanding safety performances. Among these was Milwaukee which finished the year with a rate of only 11.2 deathg per 100,000 population the lowest of any city over 500,000 population. Providence, R. I, in the group of citieg from 250,000 to 500,000 population had a rate of only 7--about one-third the average for all citieg in tg group.

Clapping Hands Is Part - | - of Prayer With Japanese There are no regular weekly services at Shinto shrines in Japan. Only a great festival once a year, commemorating an emperor‘s birthday, a heroie deed, boys' festival, girls’ festival, rice planting festival, cherry blossom festl~ val, and similar secular celebrations, Sacred and religious ceremonies are held in the Buddhist temples. It seems that Shintoism is for life in this world and Buddhism for the hereafter, observes a writer in the Chicago Tribune, Before approaching the shrine the devotee washes his hands at a fountain provided for that purpose. There is no kneeling—simply close eyes, bow head, clap hands two or three times, concentrate two or three seconds on prayer. The handclapping is to indicate that one cemes to the shrine unarmed and in a spirit of peace and good will ; handclapping is not possible while clasping a weapon. The long lines of school children at the Meiji shrine suggest the thought that every boy and girl in all Japan must be duty bound to visit this great group of memorial buildings. In the spacious outer precincts of the Meiji shrine is the Jingu stadium, with seating ecapacity for 55,000 spectators, with the largest and finest arena in the Orient; a baseball diamond and grandstands to seat 50,0003 a swimming pool in which 15,000 can disport themselves; a jujitsu or wrestling ring, and plenty of apparatus and paraphernalia for other games and centests. On alternate years the Japanese National Olympic games are held onm these ample grounds.

Most Dangerous Farm Is One That Grows Microbes Not far from the King’s road, Chelsea, is one of the most dangerous farms in the world—a germ farm. It is known as the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, and the millions of germs in their respective test tubes are guarded more closely than the crown jewels, for if they escaped they would wipe out the entire population of London, asserts a writer in TitBits Magazine. The function of the institute is to breed germs with a view to studying ithem and defeating them during epidemics. They thrive well on certain foods: sugar of malt, and eggs in the form of a flip; potato salad; and a broth made with agar, a form of Jap~ anese seaweed. Every year the institute sends more than 5,000 germ cultures to scientists in every part of the world for experimental purposes. Every parcel Is carefully packed and there is sufficient food for the germs during the whole voyage. Many human beings would envy the care and attention that Is given these microbes, for unless their individual likes and dislikes are studied, they refuse to develop as they should.

Pont Du Gard There is something ironical in the thought that the Pont du Gard which was built across the Rhone in the First century B. C. should have survived nearly 2,000 years of invasions, revolutions, floods, and other forms of violence, and that it should be threatened with destruction by the vibration of the traffic on a neighboring bridge. Nearly 300 yards long and 160 feet high, the Pont du Gard stands as one of the most splendid relics of the Roman occupation of France. The only damage which the aqueduct has undergone occurred in the Fifth century. The structure, as it stands, is almost exactly the same as it was a the time when it was built.—Montreal Herald. The Hymn “Rock of Ages” The hymn “Rock of Ages,” one of the most popular, was written by Augustus Montague Toplady, who was born in 1740 and died in 1778. It is said that he wrote it while sheltering from a storm under a great cleft rock near Cheddar, Somerset. The phrase jtself, “Rock of Ages,” is, however, much older, and is traced to a note on Isaiah 26:4, where the words “Everlasting strength” are stated to be, in the Hebrew, “Rock of Ages.” Wesley used it in one of his hymns, and it also appears in Southey’s poeiry—Answers Magazine. : s

Rothschild Loans : In the later Napoleonic campaigns, England gave large subsidies to many of her allies to offset the larger number of troops furnished by some other nations that had men but no money. Nathan Meyer Rothschild of London negotiated drafts made by the Duke of Wellington in his campaigns against Napoleon, which the English government was unable to meet, and also arranged for the subsidies to other nations, including Prussia, to be safely transferred and delivered. Morgan’s Raid Gen. John H. Morgan’s famous raid into Indiana and Ohio was not a matter of a day, but a campaign of six weeks, .It started from Alexandria, Ky., on June 11, 1863, and ended with the capture of the commander and the last of the raiders seven miles south of Lisbon, Ohio, on July 26. Morgan was confined in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, from which he escaped on November 26. :
