by Arthur Brisbane THE UNIMAGINABLE A REALLY BIG CITY % WHAT’S WRONG WITH US? MEDEN AGAN AND EDERLE

Britain’s airship, R-10Q, greatest that ever rose into the air, has safely crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Montreal, with thirty-seven crew and seven passeng&s The R-100, faster than the Graf Sieppelin, represents Britain’s determination to rule the ocean of the air, as for centuries she has ruled the ocean of water, regardless of expense. A few years ago the average man could not have imagined that. Now that it has happened, not one in a hundred realizes what it means. Long after steam railroads were operating successfully ,in ’England, wise men,' in and out of parliament, said the locomotive cou|d not possibly be a success. Many equally “wise" stjll think that “flying never can be practical." .» New York city’s population is fixed at 6,959,195. It will pass 7,000,000 in a few months. * Manhattan Island, wh ch until recently was all of New York, has lost 18.6 per cent in ten years. This is made up by gains in the outlying boroughs, 130.1 per cent in Queens,, 28.6 per cent in Brooklyn, 73 per cent in the Bronx. Queens is probably the fastest growing big place in the world. Manhattan still holMs the pocketbook. - Hundreds of thousands work there and sleep elsewhere. Americans from all over the nation come to spend their money, between Fourteenth and Fiftyninth streets, to say nothing of what they spend downtown in Wall street. When you are traveling serenely in an express train and it stops suddenly, you put your head out of the window to look; or you ask the conductor, "What is the matter?” We were all traveling in the prosperity express train, it stopped with a jolt last October and everybody is still, asking, "What is the matter?” Adolph .Zukor, an intelligent American business man, who) retains his capacity to keep cool and think clearly even when business is not so good, ' says: u [ .. "For one thing we had lost our heads. We began .to think a'bout a dollar as we ohght td think about a 25-cent piece. “After Awhile we shall learn what money is, what thrift and common sense mean. Then w<B shall--be better off than we ever were. “Nothing better thsn this so-called ‘slump’ could have happened to us "For my part, I was never more . optimistic in my life.” Mr. Zukor ,of couirse, speaks sincerely and his optimum is justified. This country needed a lesson and is having it. How long it wll last nobobdy knows. Every little while something reminds you of two words that the wise Greeks wrote aljiove their temple doors "Meden Agan,” meaning “Shun Success." Aristotle put it almost as briefly, “Not too much, not too little.” This time the "Mleden Agan” reminder comes front Gertrude Ederle, who swam the English Channel, ainazing the world four years ago. She has become almost entirely deaf us the result of the fourteen hours spent in the cold English channel. The “outboard niotor” idea, used for years on the little 5 boats, is successfully applied to) the air. Myrten Johnson, j from Oakland's field, in a glider w)ith a thirty horsepowe rengine attached, went up 14,600 feet. Boys and young men will want to experiment with that. John MacDonald, years ago, swore that Tom Mooney and Billings were responsible for a bomb that destroyed many lives. Now he swears .his original testimony was perjury. “If he is telling the truth this time,” Mooney and Billings will, of course, be set free. How are the men justices of California’s Supreme court to know whether MacDonald was lying then, or is Ip’ing now? Know-ledge of human nature may help. One thing is certain, MacDonald committed perjury then or n»W- The governor and judges might well hesitate to keep men in jai| on his testimony. Canada’s election surprised many pf our friends in the north. Mackenzie King, who has been prime minister for twelve years, lost the election to a Conservative, a lawyer named Bennett King, educated at Harvard, was always on friendly terms with the U. 6. Perhaps his defeat means that Canada doesn’t like our new tariff. For the first time a woman was elected to the Canadian parliament Nine more that wanted to be elected, failed. Turkish territory was invaded by gavage tribesmen coming out of Perri*. Keaml Pasha threw his troops (Continued oa Last Page)

The fire was put out before either of the summer hom'B was damaged. Mrs. Paul Uline and her sister, Mrs. Willard Naylor, are spending this week in the cottage owned by Mayor Uline of Nappanee. Mrs. Uline said she was’burning rubbish, Monday morning, whesn the strong wind carried the flames to the grass before she knew- it. t They warned Mr. and Mrs. D. J. that the wind was carrying. the flames that way. Both farnililes got out with the garden hoses from the two cottages ,and with brooms to beat out the flames. They phoned to Syracuse for the fire ruck. The township truck was hurried out to Lake Papakeetchie, residents of Lake Wawasee falling in line behind it, to offer assistance. Fortunately the fire was nearly beaten out when they reached he head of the lake. No damage was done to either cottage. Monday afternoon Ross Franklin found his way back to Syracuse, and made a request of the fire department. Mr. Franklin said, “Will Joe Rapp please drop corn from the fire truck on its way to a fire at the lake, •o we residents who are hurrying to help can find the fire? They lost me at the fish hatchery at Papakeetchie. I started |ip the road cutting off from the main road, but ended up in North Webster, having gone up and down the Hoss Hills. I never did find any fire.” o Fire On Webster Lake Burns Homes The loss was estimated at $5,000 when four cottages burned on the east shore of Webster Lake last Wednesday evening. The cottages were owned by William Miller, John McClain and Adolph Peterson of Marion, ’and Elijth Thompson of Warren. Only the Miller cottage was occupied. The fire, which started in the Thompson cottage, was discovered by Mrs. Miller. The Cromwell fire department was sent for, but could not save the four buildings. The cause of the fire is unknown.

BURIED TREASURE FOUND BY FOUR YOUNG PEOPLE SATURDAY NIGHT

Miss Catharine Monger and Miss Betty Fleming of Elkhart; Jim Sprbat [and M. Wiley of Michigan City, won the treasure hunt planned by Miss Louise Stephenson last Saturday night. The group of 26 young people had contributed to the S2O treasure which was buried Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening they met at the J. W. Stephenson home in Pickwick where slips of paper told them to look-in the graveyard at the spot “named for a wise guy.” When searchers obtained second rhymed clues at Solomon’s Creek church, they figured out they were being directed to the diving platform in front of the Spink Wawasee hotel. Only one row boat containing four inches of water, was available for the automobile loads as they took turns arriving near the hotel. ’ When they discovered more clues on the diving platform, they read "Jim Crow Says,” a clipping from an Indianapolis newspaper. To each carload which found Jim Kroh at Thornburg’s, he gave an envelope with another, clue. This time directions read: “A well known time

LOW WATER CAUSES MINOR ACCIDENTS A drought which has ruined crops all over the country, which has dried up springs used ■by individuals, and made a water shortage whole cities, has been the cause of several minor accidents in Syracuse and Lake Wawasee district this last week. The waterjin both' lakes is at low levels. A tragedy in Lake Wawasee, at the Tavern hotel was narrowly averted Sunday, by the prompt work of F. G. Nichols and Marvin Nichols, of Muncie; Miss Hostetler, guest of Mr; and Mrs. Maryin Nichols, dived from the pier at the Tavern hotel. The water was so shallow, she struck her head. One of the Nichols brothers was bn the pier and the other in the water. They rushed to her assistance, and helped her to shore, where she soon recovered consciousness. She was better before starting home that evening, except for a stiff neck, George Arbaugh, son of Rev. and Mrs. Arbaugh, broke his nose one day last week, in an accident on the wheel at Kale Island. He was able to drive to Springfield. 0., with his wife, the next day. They have since returned to Syracuse. __ Elmer Lung, aged 15, son of Mr.' and Mrs. Charles Lung, bruised the right side of his face, Saturday evening, when he dived into the mill race. He was able to get out of the water without assistance. Harry Porter, the editor, scraped his nose and forehead along the bottom when he misjudged the depth of the water in the lake, when he dived in Sunday afternoon. The injury, although not serious, left enough mark to cause many and varied tomments this week. Long time residents of this community say they cannot remember when the water in the lakes was so low as it is at present. —o ACCIDENT VICTIMS REPORTED BETTER Victims of recent automobile accidents are reported improving. Mrs. C. A. Mtllspaugh, who was severely injured last Monday evening, w;as able to come home from the Elkhart hospital, Friday. Bud Houston .injured a week ago Friday, is able to hobble on crutches from his bed room to the front porch of his home, where he lies all day. He must stay in bed for two months until his wounds are healed. Lewis Fear, who was injured near Pierceton two weeks ago, came home tq Syracuse last week. He is able to be about, but connot work, and becomes exhausted after little effort, he says. Mrs. Fear is at the home of her son Frances ,in Marion. She is able to sit up awhile each day, her husband reports. ■■ , o- ‘ McClintic Reunion Held Last Sunday Although the McClintic family has been holding reunions for the last 20 years, it was unorganized until the reunion this yea/, held Sunday, at the home of Charles F.

Those who reached the railroad warning sign at Benton, found more clues; Clue No. 4 was published in last week’s Journal, and directed seekers to'the post office where new clues sept them to “A well known beverage. Ari important part |of the compass” , Some difficulty was encountered in locating the clues well hidden under the slides at Buttermilk Point. The. last directions were g series of grouped numerals. Each number corresponded to a letter in the alphabet. When all of numbers were translated into I letters, they spelled out “The Boat House” And there, in the pit of the boat house at Stephenson’s, was the S2O treasure. Miss Catherine Monger, Miss Betty Fleming, Mr. Sproat and Mr s Wiley found it.
