turn to former business trends were viewed in the Calumet region where unusually heavy orders for steel are being placed daily. Another factor in the upward trend is the. announcement of R. Earl Peters, state director of the federal housing program in Indiana, that the state improvement and rebuilding

program will be tripled within a few weeks. A 22 per cent increase in the volume of sales of farms owned by the Federal Lank Bank of Louisville also gave the Hoosier business outlook a brighter tone. A pickup in the Calumet steel industry at this time of the year is unusual, business leaders point out, but ■heavy orders from automobile and railroad companies have reversed the trend which usually marks the Thanksgivingto-New Years period. One order from Mexican railroads for 400 steel cars, placed with the General American Tank Car Corporation of East Chicago, will necessitate the employment of several hundred men. Several hundred workers at the Pullman railroad car plants at Hammond and Michigan City are expected to be returned to their jobs when work starts on 1,200 new Pullman 1 coaches. Other steel plants expected to benefit from large orders are th<‘ Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com pany. Inland Steel Company and the Standard Forgings Company, all of Indiana Harbor. Steel mills throughout the region are busy completing orders of th • several large railroad systems call ing for 2,250 new cars. Factories at Anderson, one of Indiana's busiest industrial cities, expect to operate at higher capacity during the holiday season than at any time for several years.

Her Favorite Pose
his later years wandering about the country in search of work has realized a life’s ambition to buy a farm and settle down. He is Emmett Byard, 38, who inherited $20,000 from a man he had not seen for ten years. Byard was named principal heir of the estate of James Dooley, a Cass county farmer who years ago took him from an orphanage and gave him a home on his farm near Logansport. "I'm going to buy a farm in Shelby county and find a true woman,” By-
ard said.
"For the last five years I have had very little work and I hope I can find something to do until March when I will get the money.” Byard was notified of the legacy while in Shelbyville looking for work. Lyman Smith, a Logansport attorney, traced the farm hand with the assistance of John Day de Prez, Shelbyville editor. Byard worked on Dooley’s farm for 15 years before deciding to start out on his own. Since then he has been employed on numerous farms in Indiana and the Dakotas.
hrating the seasons. From these the harvest feast comes down to us in our Thanksgiv-1
ing day.
From the time of the Revolution j days of prayer and praise have been set from time to time. In 1863 a Mrs. Sarah Joscpha Hale is described as being ‘‘admirably per-1 sistant” persistance sometimes merits another adjective and she in-1 ! duced President Lincoln to appoint a day for national thanksgiving, i praise and prayer. The day set was August 6th but this was changed the next year to the last Thursday in | November. We speak of national holidays hut in reality there are none. Any action of congress in respect to these days applies only to the District of Columbia. The days are really fixed by the different states.

OHIO’S ELECTRIC CHAIR II \s CLAIMED 182 PERSONS COLUMBUS. O., (UP)—The gaunt high-backed, brass and leather strapped electric chair at Ohio penitentiiry here lias taken the lives of 182 persons. Nine men are housed in death cells of the prison. Warden P. E. Thomas, who has | watched over the stone-ailed institution since 1013 and witnessed a prison fire there In which 320 men lost their lives, recalls two electrocutions vividly. In one a murderer with one leg was executed. In the other a murderer only four feet. 10 inches tall, was electrocuted and it was necessary to remodel the chair to carry out the sentence These two stand out in the warden’s memory of the 42 men who have marched the last mile in the past 21 years.
Royal Kiss J hrills Englanders
The states are by no means uniform In these observances. Southern states do not celebrate Lincoln's birthday but do celebrate Lee's and Jefferson’s. Many western states have "Admission day.” Utah celebrates Pioneer day and Texas has an Independence day in March Alabama has Memorial day for confederate soldiers in April, while several other southern states have it in May, but on the 10th instead of the 30th. The celebration of this day was begun in the south but in 1868 Gen. John A. Logan made a Decoration day nation wide. Canada celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday as Empire day, and they also celebrate the current king's birthday. We wonder how it feels to be the last king, almost, upon the royal bough. Canada's Thanksgiving is Monday of the week in which Nov. It occurs.
Residents of Dover England, and other Britons lucky enough to h" at the scene, got the thrill of their lives when the Duke of Kent, youngest son of King George and Qgeen Mary of England, greeted bis bride, Princess Marina of Greece, with an affectionate kiss upon her arrival in England for their marriage.
Two intriguing days to us in the middle states are the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena. Jan. 1. and the Rose Festival in Portland in early June. Roses are everywhere and when we say roses we mean roses. We used to think when we saw pictures of roses as big as salad plates that some artist had been seeing things, but when we saw those Pacific coast roses we knew how the Queen of Sheha felt when she said of Solomon's glary. "the half has not been told.” We can stand the Portland festival for we, too. have roses, but not to envy Pasadena on Jan 1, takes ef-
fort.
On some involved day of Home Involved month in their calendar, the Chinese celebrate Teng Kao or the feast of High Flight. This is done] by universal kite flying. If a man has done wrong the kite will fly away with the punishment I <lue him so when he gets his kite very high he cuts it loose, and starts blithly in on some more misdeeds. Instead of Dad's day the Japanese celebrate June 5 as a day to honor male rhildren. Every house having a little t>oy resident is gaily decorated and the celebration is called the Feast of Banners Houses having several boys have a bamboo fishing rod displayed with a dangling paper fish to repre- 1 sent each son. t ! Thanksgiving day was with some of us what the name implies but with most of us it was just another flay to complain at the darts and slings of outrageous fortune. It was s chance to refuse a second and third anti fourth helping of everything hut, as usual, we muffed another chance at heroism. Well we know that morning— every morning should be all sweet-1 ness and light, but when we have spent the best hours of one day ram-1 bling all the way from the shrimp 1 cocktail to the mince pic, the next ^

SENATOR NORRIS SEES NEW ERA IN GOVERNMENT McCOOK. Neb, (UP' Nebraska's pioneer liberal. Senator George W Norris, who has seen the new deal outstrip most of the early liberal views, believes the United States constitution does not constitute a "stoplight" to national progress. A new era in government is on the way and there is no place to stop to look conditions over before taking further progressive steps. Recording to the senatorial veteran. The new era will see the recognition of human values in harmony with political and religious theory as the result of changes in social, economic and political thought The current fight in which we are engaged, Norris said, is for the preservation of our clviliz-ition.
