by Arthur Brisbane' COMFORT IN BIGNESS THERE IS IMPROVEMENT CANARIES’ MALERIA RADIO FIGHTS POISON Sometimes, when things seem to gc wrong, it is a comfort to be reminded that nothing matters very much. If the earth fell toward the sun it would melt like a flake of snow falling on a red-hot stove long could reach the sun. And if, in turn. Our gigantic sun, r million times as big as the earth fell toward some of the really big suns in space it also would melt before it could reach that sun’s surface. Professor Shapley with his fore head high and his ears low down, the best arrangement, tells you that Harvard observatory has found and measured “about 18,000 new galaxies, each an island universe.” , An island universe contains mil lions of suns. One little group, callee the “Large Magellanic," has suns, every one 150 times brightei than our sun, and 2,000 suns that art 10.000 times as bright as ours. Under such circumstances, will yoi please tell us what difference it mak es whether Anaconda copper goes u or down? It says in .Ecclesiastes: “A fool ate* \.is full of words: a man cannot tel jwhat shall be.” / Nevertheless, men of wisdom tell ut that better conditions have started al ready. : Mr. Lamont, secretary of commerce sees a distant upturri in business, an ; also important, the conductor of on* of the busiest Central Railroad ol New Jersey trains says: “1 knowtimes are getting better. 1 can see i’ in the faces of passengers, busines men that have traveled with me f<>. years.” Two thousand scientists gathered at Cleveland continue their contributior of amazing information. Canary, birds have a peculiar ma lari of their own. Germah scientist: investigating this disease develope< plasmochin. a drug that'cures humai beings. The new remedy is a syn thetic product, called by chemists “N diethylaminoisopentyl-8 amino 6 met hoxyquinoline,” which you shouk remember in -case you want to orde some. Our problems are trifling compare) with those of Great Britain. A Labo; government that was to find employ ment for all has twice as many idh men on its hands as when it > * and for nine months of the fiscal yea; just ended has a deficit of $903,000,00< -—553,000,000 more than a year ago. Many have shivered with fear les a comet should strike the earth. It probably wouldn’t do much harn if it did and you would know nothing about it except that, if a coiiiet di< sidewipe our atmosphere in passing, you would detect a strong smell ol almonds. Science finds in the tails of comeU “cyanogen,” w hich has the almonc smell. Bacteriologists are told that violent diphtheria poison, the toxin parrying the disease that has killed so man) millions of children, has been success fully attacked by treatment with short radio waves.’ These waves, with a frequency of from 80,000,000 to 158,000,000 per second, reduce the strength of the poison” by one-half. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this scientific announcement. With flints, bows and arrows and high powered rifles? men have succeeded after 25,000,000 years in conquering their huge four footed enemies ligers, li<fns and bears. They D*ay be able now td destroy their invisible and infinitely more deadly microscopic enemies with electric projectiles. While deeply religious believers knqlt in the snow "praying, soldiers of the Russian government tore down a cathedral on the bank of the Dnieper river, making bonfires of sacred pictures, images and vestments of priests. This action of Russia’s government comes under the heading “worse than a crime, a blunder.” • In old days, a man with $1,000,000 was a “millionaire.” That modest pittance no longer means anything. A “millionaire,” in the new financial language, is one who has $1,000,000 w more of yearly income. In 1928, 511 Americans told Uncle Sam they had incomes of $1,000,000 or more. Several have $50,000,000 a year, and at least two or three have more. They represent the beginning of our billionaire class. There are probably six, certainly four, men in the United States worth a billion. A report of General Foods company for 1930, issned by Colby M. Chester, president, shows that its busness increased many million Vin 1930, thanks to aggressive advertising, plus good management. And beat news of all, no workers have been discharged and no wages reduced. The man who advertises courageously in a time of depressions may see his profits diminish temporarily, but he holds his business and the loss in profit is not as great as it would be without the advertising.

Two benefits for the sake* of the less fortunate are to be held soon. One is the cake walk, scheduled to I follow the basketball game at the High school, Friday evening; and the other is the party to be held at the library, Jan. 15. According to Mr. Slabaugh, 8 to 10 children have been attending school at the grade school house, and their lunch boxes contain only a bun or a piece of bread. So after the game Friday evening, anyone who pays 5 cents may join .he cake walk. Music will stop unexpectedly and walkers will be standing on numbers on the floor of the gym.

The school authorities are asking anyone who wishes to, to donate cakes to be used in this way. The ake bakerrf are asked to report to Mr. Slabaugh before Friday evening, so he will know how many to count on. It is thought too many cakes will be donated to be supplied cake walkers during one evening’s walk, so any. left over after several are won in this cake walking, way, will be auctioned off.

WATCHMAN The town board, is Tegular session Tuesday evening, went on record as in favor of the B. and O. railroad’s | proposal, submitted by H. W. Buchholz, to keep a crossing watchman on Huntington street daily, 8 hours a day. Buchholz stated that the B. and O. Railroad, due to lack of business, was curtail in every way possible, operating and maintenance expense. “ He said that since the railroads are required to pay time and a half for over time, and double time on Sunday, that the B. and O. is requesting the town to allow- the railroad to keep the crossing watchman only 8 hours a day. According to Buchholz, the railroad cannot do away with the crossing watchman without the consent of the town board. The board agreed to the proposal, with the reservation that the watchman could be put back on longer hours, when the tourists begin to arrive in the spring. The hours agreed upon for the watchman to be on duty, are from Ba. m. to.'4 p. m. During the meeting, it was brought out that a letter had been received from the Indiana Inspection Bureau, stating that an engineer would be in Syracuse, as per request, on Jan. 21, 22 and 23. The engineer will instruct the local fire department in the latest methods of fighting fires.

Arbaugh, they accompanied the body to Chicago Saturday The following obituary of Mr. Brunjes, resident of Lake;Wawasee for the )ast 25 years, was written by Rev. Arbaugh: “On Jan. 5, 1862, at Ostcrhols, Scharmbeck, Germany, a son was born to Hermann and, Ada Brunjes. This son, who is the subject of this ibituary, was named Deitrich Hernan. “In this home, other children were born, two sons and two daughters. The eldest of these children, a daughter, is still living in Germany. “When a fews days old, this son, Deitrich Herman, was taken to the church by his. godly parents and consecrated to God in Holy Baptism, At the age of 14 years, after a borough course of instruction in Luther's catechism, he was received into the communicant membership of he church by the sacred rite of corifirmation. “After his confirmation, he pursued his studies in the High school, and >erved an apprenticeship of three years, learning the painter’s trade. “In 1879, at the age of 19 years, he « came to America, settling in New York, Cleveland apd* .Chicago, in utirn; for a fiine, and finally in 19b6 he came to Syracuse, Ind., to his beautiful home on Lake Wawasee, * vhere he spent the remainder of his life. “In the same part of Germany, and at the same time, there was born, and grew up to womanhood, Gesine Marie Hartel. “She, and Mr. Brunjes knew each other as friends, and later on as sweethearts . In 1884 she followed him to America, arriving In Chicago in the early part of August. A few weeks later, ■* on August- 31, they were united in marriage by Pastor Hartman, a prominent Lutheran clergyman of Chicago. “To this union three sons were born; John Henry, of North Manchester; Dr. Dietrich G.

Faithfulness, absolute loyalty, interest, activity, regularity, liberality, are the words that describe their religion to their church, His going is a tremendous loss to .Grace church. “It was a pleasure for the pastor to visit and minister to Mr. -Brunjes during his sickness.
