NHW LAW PROPOSED The next legislature will l»e asked to pass a law making driving licenses for automobilists compulsory, according to an announcement made by Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier. Schortemeier presided recently at the Chicago meeting of the Mid-West Asssociation of Automobile Administrators’, where officials from neighboring states adopted a resolution recommending drivers’ licenses. Reports frow eastern states were read showing how such laws have proved effective in elimination of accidents by demanding sufficient qualifying tests before licenses are issued. Uniform gasoline tax. uniform traffic laws and the licensing of bus lines in each state where they are operated, also were approved in resolutions adopted at the meeting. The lifting of the maxium speed limit, as has been done by Michigan, was condemned. THE CONNTITI TION From one end of the nation to the other there is a growing demand that a study of the constitution shall be added to our public school curriculum. While every patriotic American will endorse this movement, it will be interesting to note the reaction on students when they discover that Congress itself ignores and nullifies its explicit and mandatory provision relative to reapportionment. It sets forth that there shall be a reapportionment every ten years after each federal census. But there has been no reapportionment on the basis of the 1920 census. None has been made since 1911. when the House membership was left at 435. That number may be large enough, but it is not now properly divided among the states. In refusing to act in this matter Congress offends the letter and spirit of American institutions. GRADE CROSSING CRIME According to an exchange of authority, in the course of the last year for which complete statistics are available. 2.200 motorists were killed and 6,555 were seriously injured in grade crossing accidents in the (United States.

GREATEST POWER PLANT T What is considered the greatest industrial achievement of modern times is the world’s greatest interconnection of electricgenerating stations which has ' been completed. This power pool forms a 1000-mile triangle | from Boston to Chicago to Pensa- ■ cola, Florida, but does not include New York City. These combined stations connect the great hydroelectric resources of North and South with the steam igenerated power plants, giving a total of 10 millions of horsepower and so arranged that a double against interruption is established. Any one station that should be destroyed or break down can be instantly connected with other stations. The entire plan is based on debits and credits for power thus supplied to be paid for at a given rate, or held in reserve as a drawing account. o :— KILLED IN CRASH Eighteen' draped bodies rested in rows on tables in the Indianapolis city hospital Saturday victims of a crash between an interurban car and truck trailer carrying members of the Sahara Grotto of Masons to a barn dance at Fort Benjamin Harrison Friday evening. Two of the injured have died since, bringing the death list up to 20. o Man has no kick coming over the short skirt style. Many eminent Scottish gentlemen contend that the only garment fit for a man to be seen in is the kilt. Women have almost beat us to it. but there’s a chance to win if we get busy. __ o—--Beau Geste” with Ronald Colman and great -ast ol su:r*.. The ultimate in screen achievement, at Cry i d.

LOUIS SPIRIT Seven days after the St. Louis tornado, a check-up shows a total of 700 thousand dollars subscribed and deposited, nearly every dollar was pledged by St. Louisans in an effort to take care of her own. The National Red Cross has declared that it has a million dollars for relief and rehabilitation. The total property loss due to the storm is variously estimated at from 75 to 100 millions. The loss of life is 80. Over 1,000 people were injured, half of them seriously, and many of them will not survive. Food and shelter have been provided for 4,000 families. One of the greatest factors in this work has been the Boy Scouts, 4,000 of whom have been constantly on the job. The handling of this disaster is typical of St. Louis and its confidence in its own ability and destiny. It is this loyal and unconquerable spirit that placed its name and its slogan before the world on the first airplane to cross the Atlantic ocean. o HEADACHES Os years standing can be completely over come. Relief usually follows at once. See Dr. Warner. Phone 176. Goshen. Iml. a Why is it that the average citizen notices changes in the weather most when they are worst?

60 PER ( ENT CORN CROP The 1927 Indiana corn crop will do well to equal 60 per cent of the 1926 crop of 170,528,000 bushels, according to an estimate made by William Stahl, editor of the Hoosier Farmer, publication of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation and other officials of the bureau. During the last few weeks the crop has made tremendous gains, obliterating to some extent the early spring slump, they said. Indiana’s estimated corn crop this year has been fixed by the United States! departmenL ofAgriculture at 101,295,000 bushels. This is about 59 per cent of last year’s crop. Under the most favorable conditions, with frost delayed for several weeks to give the corn an opportunity to mature, I doubt if this percentage will go much above 60, Stahl said. o Nearly 26 millions of letters found their wa|y to the dead letter office at Washington during the past year. If these millions of letter writers had simply put a return address on the envelope it would have saved many a disappointment and heartache to say nothing 0f thousands of hours of work in the postal department.

PARALYSIS IN POULTRY Paralysis in poultry is prevalent in Bartholomew county, with a heavy loss as a result, and the disease is spreading, according to William A. Douglass, county agricultural agent. Chickens that become weakened by weather conditions are particularly susceptible to the disease, it was said, and once infected seldom recover. The chief means of fighting the disease, it is said, is to keep the fowls in as good general condition as is possible. o 98. HOPES TO LIVE 100 One hundred years is the goal of Henry Rausch, tailor in South Bend for sixty-five years. He reached his ninety-eighth birthday and was so hale and hearty that he was able to work in his garden. He also makes his daily walk of a mile to the business and dreams of making another 700-mile trip by automobile back to Pennsylvania, his trip a year ago having fired his ambition for further traveling. o Prince William, of Sweden, is again making a tour of the United States. Inasmuch as the prince is a writer and lecturer instead of a society man, he will receive very little first-page notice.
