This Morning's Headlines The search for the body of a seven-year-old Indianapolis boy ended yesterday when his body was found on a White River island in the capital. He had disappeared on March 8 from the Riviera Club, ah. a search for him had been made ever since. His death was due to drowning. Marion Count authorities have not given up on the idea that he might have-met with foul play.

Republican Economy "Penny wise and pound foolish," is an old, familiar expression but one that often describes a situation milch better than thousands of. carefully chosen words. The slashing of the Federal budget brought to light the fact that special collectors, employed by the United States Department of Internal Revenue, may be dispensed with to meet the demands of the budget reduction. On th face of it, that situation has the earmarks of gov
ernment economy but to go beyond the apparent and to m- . vestigate. the actualities gives a decidedly different picture. . Here in Indiana, it is estimated that special collectors employed by the Internal Revenue Department have been unearthing an average of $10,000 per collector per month in back and unpaid taxes. , ; It further is shown that the average of salaries paid these special collectors is $3,000 a year. ... In view of the fact that the government estimates there is sortie $50,000,000 owed by Federal Income Tax law violat-

The French Premier, Ramadier, after winning a vote of confidence from the French Assembly, has forced all the, Communist members of his cabinet to resign. The only members of the Assembly voting "no confidence" in the government were Communists. The big question is whether Ramadier can carry out a French government plan without the Communists, who comprise the biggest single party in the Assembly.
The Briar Patch
The Army is investigating the rioting that occurred at the Leavenworth, Kans., disciplinary barracks last week-end. Some 727 white and Negro inmates of the barracks were involved in the rioting that raged for about forty hours. One prisoner was killed in the rioting. The trouble is believed "to have been caused by the resentmnt of the white prisoners to eat in the same mess as the Negroes.
The annual ice derby in Alaska has ended. It ended when the ice in the Tanana River broke at 5:33 p. m., Alaska time, Saturday. The break brought an estimated $140,000 to seven winners who guessed the time when the Ice jam would break. In Alaska, the breaking of the ice is as' much an event as the State finals in basketball is in Ihdiana.

Despairingly, Walter cried, "Maryaml"
The ship hugged the coast and turned south
WALTER and Tristram made the ship with no more than a second to spare. The great wae raced past, up the river. Tristram said, "Well, here we are. Now we can wait for the other skiff." The ship was crowded with persons fleeing Bayan's armies. Walter and Tris watched anxiously for the other boat to emerge from the darkness with Maryam and Mahmoud. When it at last appeared safe, they were startled by shouts on their ship and the flapping of canvas. "We are under way," Walter cried. "They are not waiting!" 1 - -, . . The two men fought through the crowd to the captain's quarters but were repulsed, there. Despairingly, Walter hung over the rail, an arm extended into the blackness. "Maryam!" he shouted. "Maryam!" ,
There was ho answer, from the river. ; For a time, they hoped that the ship would put in at the mouth of the Vang-tse, from where they !could reach Bayan's army by land and return With the warrior to tonsai. Even then, they knew with sinking hearts, it would be difficult to find Maryam. But a worse situation appeared. The ship hugged the coast and turned, south into the trade route. They were heading farther from her all the time. .... Walter and Tristram sat on the deck in desperate silence. "Maryam is alive" Walter said :at last. "We have that much consolation. But we 'are as far removed from her now. as though she were dead. It's 'certain they have no intention of Jetting us off this ship; and even if we escaped, where could we go and what could we do? Well never; find her." Walter noticed that Tristram had one of their loags with
, . "Throw it into the sea," he said. him and lie roused to ia "show of interest. "Ybii salvaged something from the wreckage," he said. "God grant that this is the one with my material on the wonders of Cathay. At least we must have the chance to accomplish some good by 'our mad venture." ; Tristram opened the sack. It contained the jewels "given them by the Empress. ' Walter stared and after a time save B short, harsh iBUgh. "What an ironic trick fate has played us! " he said bitterly. "I came. to China to make my fortune. But after these things , fell unearned into my lap, I found I cared for them least of all. All the gems in the world can't bring Maryam back!" He gestured scornfully at -the treasure. "For all I care, Tris, you can take that worthless stuff arid1 throw.it into tile sea i '(Continued tomorrow)

Aren't people funny? Men work diligently draining marshes to create a- dustbowl. He burns fencerows and wonders why the quail no longer destroy the insects that Infest his crops. He clears away all brush from his hillsides. Then he watches the waters rush madly seaward. He grumbles about the devastating floods that follow. He plows land that should be left in pasture; then he begs for help to dispose of the 'Surplus.' Amazing, isn't he? .. Fritz Kreisler says any music is good "when it sends shivers up and down your back." ' .:.- Taxes must corhe down. One of the neighbors said he'd - be darned if he paid off the national debt by hirnself. 1 , , Environment brings out the worst as well as the best. . . . Good
is the enemy of Best. . . . The contrast between what we are and
what we might be is appalling. . i . Dr. Durham used to say it takes a cold wet April to make a good wheat crop. Surely we have had Qne this year. . . Give Burma Shave credit for these: Drove too long driver snoozing. What happened next was not amusing! or Taking a crossing without looking Who will eat his widow's cooking? . 1 . and ' You can beat a mile a minute, But there ain't no future in it. .. The most dangerous place in the world is the kitchen, according to Purdue. Stairs are the r'unners-up, in more ways than one. Trairiwrecks and tornadoes get headlines, but only because of rareness.. House-cleaning season leads the procession. "Poor judgment is by far the leading cauae of home accidents" they say. Delete the 'home' and it still holds good. First aid is no substitute for prevention. - Wives should have mote say about foreign relations. They would apply the'ir hard-earned wisdom that hunger is sure to start a war. They would see to it that other countries had something to eat food is cheaper than ammunition. .. The Food and Agriculture Organization may 'turn, out 'to be the most important part of TJ.lsI. , , ' , : i Was Marshall's Sunday evening talk with Truman the same that we heard 'over the radio? ' . Courage has a crimson coat, ; Trimmed with trappings bold; , i Knowledge dons a dress of note; Fame's is cloth of gold: ' ' . Far they ride and lair they roam; Much they do and dare; . Grey-gowned Patience sits at home ' And weaves the stuff they wear. , . (Youth's Companion) Mr. Paul Owens, the County .Recorder, said last week that only one person had called 'for help to verify their claim to the award being offered by Purdue to those whose family has held title to the same farm for 100 years. '. . ' Almost anything that brings neighbors together is good. Everyone plans to go to Heaven, sooner or later preferably later. But have they decided what they will do when first they reach it IF they-d6' make it ?v I" know one woman who will, JhinlcTrTEhe streets need more, polish. She probably will see that it is done, too. Another, bless Tier dear iieart, will look for someone who needs a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. , Mothers need the wisdom of Solomon. Junior had a Christmas gift of a pair of rabbits. In due time, there were lots of rabbits. Then all the little ones died. His 4-H gilt had 11 pigs. Then she laid on seven of them and killed them. And then Junior was elected secretary of the Sunday School. His mother heard him mumbling while she was getting the Sunday dinner. "What are you talking to yourself about,' Juny?" she asked. "Turnabout is fair play; God killed my rabbits and pigs, so I'm not going to be secretary," he answered. Well-1-1, better that attitude than to doubt that God is personally interested, don't you think? ' N As one approaches that time of life when a little rest now and then is necessary, two avenues of enjoyable escape from work are available. One is to go fishing. There you can, after you bait your hook, sit and think. Or just sit. If you return empty-handed, no one can dispute your alibi, "Not biting today" -or "They got away." The other is to study the WBS World's Best Singers. For that, get out of sight or hearing of the house. Pick out a nice restful spot and occupy it. Be still; be VERY still, Any suddfen noise or movement will f righten them away; they are curious, though. A long, slow, squeaky kiss against the back of the hand will usually bring them hurrying to identify the intruder. But don't move not even to take your hand down if they've come that quickly. Or imitate the quavering call of the screech owl. That takes some practice. As you become acquainted, you can lure them with an imitation of their own call. They seem to be determined that no other of their own class shall come hear their nesting place. Others receive no attentionexcept Jenny Wren, who tends to everybody's business. Remember, DON'T MOVE. Poets would have us believe that the bird chorus we are hearing now is the Love Call. It isn't; it is the "Stay way from here" order. Sad too, is the 'fact that Mister comes early; if Mrs. tarries too long, -an earlier returner lias usurped her mate! j Tindirig any mushrooms?
