Dorthy was thrown into the windshield receiving her injuries while the other occupants escaped with minor cuts and bruises. It is not known how : Mrs. Carney was injured. Both cars were badly wrecked. o VIOLIN RECITAL A very appreciative audience gathered at the Wawasee Hotel 1 and Country Club last Thursday to hear the Violin Recital given by Miss Monique Poole, of England. Miss Monique Poole chose to play an interesting and varied program begining with a group of pieces by old Masters, Handel, Mozart, Purcell, Streby and Monsigny followed by some little favorites by Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms.

i Hills and Lakes Road Inspected i The State Highway Commission drove over and inspected the Hills and Lakes Road preparatory to the State taking over the road and maintaining it as a state highway. The Commission left Indianapolis Thursday morning ancTarrived in Wabash at noon where | they were guests of the Chamber of Commerce of that city after which they were accompanied by several of the business men of that city including Senator Strey to the county line north of here arriving at Benton about 2:30 P. M. Members of the Board who made the trip were J. J. Brown, Director of Highways, Albert Wedeking, chairman of the Board, Mr. Titus, chief engineer of the Board, Jess Murden, member of the board from our district and Col. Milton and Mr. Boren the other two members. Senator Clark L. Strey of Wabash along with Mark Honeywell Harley Gamble, and Mr. Bradley comprised the delegation from Wabash, while Jean Hart and W. J. McGray represented Pierston on the trip. Senator Strey stated that there is notloubt but that the road would be taken over by the commission and expressed his opinion that it would be routed to pass around Lake Wawasee on the west side. Tin’s of course would mean that it will pass Syracuse and will place our city on the state road map. What this will mean to Syracuse can only be imagined. Needless to say that it will be worth the effort of every public spirited citizen to put forth his best to attain that end., — —o BACK IN HARNESS AGAIN After having been out of the newspaper game for four months, Henry A.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Forward The new army of workers just out of college, 1,500,000 strong, are now looking for jobs. Next year and the next, and for years to come an army of this size will come from schools and colleges looking for jobs'. And they will be absorbed somewhere. Dad’s influence will place them here and —some in white collar jobs and some at the bottom of the ladder. They will all be hired. How fast they are fired depends on themselves. The old workers will be responsible for breaking in the youngesters and making them efficient— and then the old fellow is finished. The army of okl fellows go into the trenches and death reaps its toll. Every year this process is repeated— and the young man must face the same conditions within a few short years. But what is to be done with the older men and wo-‘ men turned out to pasture? Looking forward holds a rosy promise, but only 2or 3 of each 100 will win a competence. Some folks say prohibition is a failure. Others say it is a success. All we have to say is that not as many men as formerly sing “Sweet Adaline.” Hedda: Why do you wear spats? Lucien: In memory of my first wife. It remains with the people of a state to lower taxes on property by ceasing to demand new government functions that are not necessary, of which there are many that can be dropped and the people get along just as well Reasonable regulation of business is a needful governmental function only so long as it is wisely exercised and fairly administered. From gazing at the pictures of some of the bathing girls who win beauty prizes we are of the opinion that either the judges were dim-sighted or else the engravers did a poor job of it. ’Tis said the most important of an automobile tire is that part which you cannot «ee. This, too applies to other things, and at one time did apply to women —but it’s different now. If the girls keep on eliminating their costumes it won’t be long until it won't make any differance whether the garment workers strike or not. The college boy who was advised to be a snob and marry the boss’s daughter, may find that one of the most difficult things will be to find a boss in the first place. Maybe it would help the wheat farmers if the flour manufasturers would give away with each bag of flour coupons which could be saved up for parlor rugs or bed-lamps.' According to statistics one and a third billion dollars are expended each year in America for cakes. Yet the World War proved , that we are not a nation of cake eaters. It may be true that the girls ' are wearing less clothing all the time, but we can at least be thankful that the same isn’t true of the men. The auto has one advantage over the aeroplane. It doesn’t need a special landing field. Any old ditch will do if you are in too big a hurrjr. The old fashioned old maid who used to cultivate corkscrew i curls and resign herself to fate at the age of forty has now ‘ grown old enough to know better An Akron rubber concern ber lives that airplane bodies will be . built of rubber, so that they will - bounce instead of cracking up I when an accident occurs. There s - an idea for Ford to develope for j autos. x I This Week’s Puzzle PuUer i How would you make an Eng--1 lishman happy in his old age? Tell him a story when he is quite young.
