GOSSIP REPLACES DOSSERT AS 6TII I DISTRICT LEADER
The Newcastle Courier, speaking of political chances In the Sixth district, believes Walter Bossert will be replaced as district chairman. "Mr. Bossert has been district chairman for four years and a ehange is desired throughout the district," says the Courier. "Several candidates have been mentioned for the place. Including Walter Bridges of Greenfield. v "In district politics several men have been mentioned as delegates to the national convention. '. The district will have two delegates. One of the delegates will likely come from Wayne county and it is likely the other will hall from Shelby county. Fon Rlgga of Rushville has been mentioned, but since Senator "Watson will be one of the four delegates-at-large, Mr. Rlggs will not likely seek the place since he is from Senator Watson's home city." Democratic candidates for governor and United States senator are beginning to sound out sentiment among party leaders. Henrv N. Snann. Indianapolis attor-
ney, is being encouraged by his friends to seek the nomination for
United States senator. Mason J. Niblack of Vlncennes, formerly a representative of Knox coun
ty in the legislature, will soon make a
formal announcement of his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor. TDr. Charles B. McCulloch, of Indianapolis, an overseas service man, Is being urged to seek the gubernatorial nomination. John Isenbarger of North Manchester, already has announced his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination. Evans Woollen, formerly state fuel administrator, also is mentioned as a candidate, but has made no announcement. Some Indianapolis Democrats say Thomas Taggart will seek the nomination for senator, but so far he has declined to consider the proposition.

Gas Boom On In Eastern City, Where Fields Have Produced Paying Wells (By Associated Press) PITTSBURG, Jfln. 9 Spouting natural gas at the rate of almost 100,000,000 cubic feet a day, the Snake Hollow field, which is not yet four months old, already has made a large number of persons comfortably rich, while eome thousands of others are anxious
ly awaiting the outcome of their sub

wells where the drills are kept going

last, covers no more than 100 acres of town lots In the outskirts of the thriving little city of McKeesport, 16 miles from Pittsburg. Efforts are being made by Important oil and gas interests to extend the field. If these test wells, now being drilled, come In gushers, an important addition to the gas producing- territory of Allegheny -'County will hare -been found. If they are "dusters", geologists say, It will not be long until Snake Hollow will be a thing of the past, and dreams of ' wealth be nothing more than memory.

"Bosh!" Says Eyeman to Statement
That World Will be Blind by 2000 A.D.
. Statements made by -a. Dayton optometrist that the civilized : world would go blind by the year 2.000, it the eyesight continued to deteriorate at the present rate have been contradicted by a number of local specialists. "How does this man know that the people of the world will go blind
within the next 80 years?" asked a local optometrist. "Not so long ago a well known celebrity made the statement that the world was -coming to an end Dec. 17. You and I are still here, aren't we?" "Of course, we notice eyestrain sooner than did our forefathers. But then that is to be expected,". he continued. , "Our grandfathers didn't use their eyes as much as we do, and consequently they didn't experience eyestrain to the present extent "Did our forefathers read as much as we do now? . Of course reading to excess would injure a person's eye, but if the eye is in a normal condition a great deal of reading can be done without fear of injury. . Dread to Wear Glasses. "Then again, people of the present generation are prejudiced, and dread the thought of wearing glasses. In my estimation as soon as the prejudice against glasses is overcome, we will have better eyesight." "A number of persons say that, wearing glasses makes them look older. I suppose that is also the reason the
younger generation wears tight, pinched toed shoes in preference to the more comfortable broad toed ones.
This is primaraly for looks. "It is like the old saying, 'you can't miss what you never had.' You can't miss good vision if you never had it. "Cows and cats, etc., are fitted with a certain substance enabling them to see in the dark, because it is necessary for them to do so. We don't have to see in the dark. "The statement made by the Day
ton optometrist that eye defects are heriditary, wil lnot .hold true in all cases, .'- ; ;- "Just because a parent Is near-sighted, that won't, keep the child from being far-sighted or vice-versa.' Some parents have the idea that because the glasses they are getting for. their children don't, fit their - eyes, they won't do for the child.- Well that, is bunk, pure and simple. You might illustrate
this fact by saying that ' because ' a child,,, shoe wont fit its parent, ; thechild should not be allowed to wear it. "I - am not . expecting - a generation' of blind persona, in the next century," se said in conclusion.: ' t ;.,

Congressmen are urged to take
action immediately to increase the

is based upon a wage standard established thirty or more years ago, it
was declared.
me resolution asks legislation ap

is also asked to increase the maximum compensation and "make it comparable with the compensation paid for similar service in private business houses".
creases declared unconstitutional, and
a decision is expected soon. - : The case is being-watched with Interest by every county in the state because of the vital question involved in the 8Uit If the higher court sustains the Marion superior court, which held that the increases were illegal, all the
horizontal increases in the state, aggregating $770,000,000, will be wiped off the duplicate unless some action is taken by a special session of the legislature. - Should the . higher court decide against the tax board, it would vitally effect every taxpayer in the county, as well as all. of the city, township and
corporation governments. It will decrease the revenue for every taxing
unit, which was pared down to the y
minimum by the tax board, and make it necessary for every unit to borrow money to pay this year's bills. The horizontal increases in Wayne county raised the evaluation several million dollars, and the -corresponding decrease : in revenue will b felt severely. . Rises in the valuation ran up td 40 per cent in the county.

Despite shipments of gold from the
