jmsaHiK . by Arthur Brisbane TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL PADEREWSKI STILL PRACTICES CHICAGO DOES NOT IX) THIS YOUR RICH RELATIVE

Los Angeles. - While Governor ( Brucker signs a bill to re-establish capital punishment in Michigan, California discusses, and will adopt, it is hoped, a bill abolishing capital punishment. The state cannot discourage murder by imitating murderers and killing as they kill. Instead of death, the extreme penalty should be life imprisonment, and it should mean life imprisonment with eight hours for work, eight hours for I sle£p, eight hours far regret and reflection. Two criminals recently received sentences aggregating more than 200 v years, and it was announced official- j Jy that they would actually stay in f jail about fourteen years. That makes a joke of justice, r The onp “secret of’sucess” is work. ? Paderewski, in his private car on a £ side track in Los Angeles, amazed rail ( road workers by practicing for hours on the piano that he carries with him. One of the workers remarked: “They say he’s the best piano player in the w rid, and listen t > him, still pract- ' icing” That is one reason why he is the player in the world. The -other . reason is his p<»ssession of genius. But even genius, without work, as proved by the careers of many brilliant men born rich, is genius wasted. • I ‘ . V New York newspapers continue to advertise Chicago as the city of crime, although Chicago, as proved by statistics, stands far from, the a top as a (crime center. New Y ork’s c newspapers also relate the interesting story of a New ork woman j strangled to death after she threaten- p ed to tell about police corruption, j ‘ One policeman, one lawyer are sus- ' pected. That has not yet happened in 1 Chicago, where killings are confined * to men, and usually to thugs. To make the death of the miserable New York woman more tragic, there comes news of her daughter’s suicide. The j | unfortunate girl, sixteen years old. could not stand the mockery of her \ high school companions, and killed herself. It is a comfort to have rich relatives even when you feel poor, and the r nation’s Uncle Sam is rich He has in ( solid gold $4,590,000.0* h». Within SIOO,000,ikm> of the greatest, amount he j ever had. i With such a gold supply it is hard 1 to understand why such a fuiss should be-made, about the soldiers’ Bonus. «, But everything about finance Is j hard to understand. ( t Fashionable tailors in New York < exhibit what they call “host coats.’’ .1 Brightly colored, blue With green la- < peles, or wine colored with red lapels, < they allow the eaters and drinkers at I the party to pick .rut the man who is paying the bills and prevent, mistak- i ing him for the butler. i The latter advantage is not impor- 1 tant, because the butler may usually be recognized by his expression of concentrated intelligence, and is. near- ' 1 y always sober. Congress has gone h .me for 4he summer. No extra session, and high . finance feels happier. Congress does little to frighten even a mouse, but it might to something, and finance is nervous just now jumpy, in fact looking back over its stock-issuing jobs during the boom. Gandhi has agreed on a settlement with England, one that will save his face and not worry England much. Having led his fellows t the seashore to make salt, in det ante at Britain’s salt monoply, Ganuni had to get some concession. English statesmen quite solemnly say. "Those that dwell at the edge of the sea maymake their own salt, since God has placed them so near it. YY e shall make the salt for all others." Soon even those near the sea will buy their salt, since making it is a nuisance. A powerful French radical complains that France spends too much keeping ready for war. Briand, a real statesman, replies for the French goveminent that the Russian army is todty the most formidable destructive power in the world, and he does not ' intend to have France taken by surprise.

-SCHOOL DISMISSED, TRAFFIC TIED UP BY HEAVY SNOWFALL

The snow that began Saturday morning, busily day and night, kept heaping fields and highw-ays with a I silence, deep and white, that kept getting deeper and more impassable until Tuesday. ' Fans began drifting home from the tournament in Warsaw from Satur- ■ day noon on, but the most drifting was done on the roads. It took time and second gear driving to reach Syracuse until early in the evening. After that time it took shovels. The main road as far as Milford had undergone snow plow treats ment, and the auto loads of basketball fans who came byway of the cement road from Milford to Syracuse got through by 10:30 Saturday night, with a minor difficulties like getting out to shovel apd push, m to help a fellow ahead who got stuck with neither shovel or pusher in his car. But several car loads decided to try the gravel road, out from Milford and they reached homie about midnight, after getting stalled, managing to turn around and retrace their way to Milford for another start, this tiipe over the main highway. Many people reported that they had to wait until morning to come from such directions as Goshen, Ft. Wayne and Warsaw. Travelers who ventured out Sunday encountered difficulties, and Monday morning the weather man resumed his fun after the slight interval Sunday, by sending* along more snow and more wind. Many of the school hacks were late Monday morning, and three didn’t get in at all. These were Walter Koher, Arnel Miller, and George Tom. Orval Klink managed to bring in part of Tom’s route, after getting his own -load safely delivered to the school house. When High school classes took up Monday morning, 37 students were | absent. The wind kept on increasing in

That Hills and Lakes Highway

There occurred a discussion among’, some of the business men of Syracuse , this week, as to whether or not the ■ proposed routing of the Hills and: Lakes Highway around the south' shore of Lake Wawasee and through Syracuse, would be a benefit or a detriment to this community. The reason given by a few on the “against” side of the question was that the; privacy of someone’s back yard would be invaded and the peace and quiet of the neighborhood would be disturbed by routing a main thoroughfare this way. Wondering if that idea were a general one, the editor decided to learn the opinions of business men, merchants, professional men and others on this subject, with the result: That almost everyone of these people deeply interested in the welfare, growth and prosperity of Lake Wawasee and Syracuse believe that the proposed location of the Hills and Lakes Highway will be the most beneficial thing that has hap' pened to this community for a long time. According to the present plans of the state highway commission, and of Senator Charles Strey, who worked so v aliantly to have the road routed this way, the road will reach Lake Wawasee from the direction of North Webster, circle the south shore of the lake, and pass through the town of Syracuse. It is the opinion of the editor that

Hallie Holloway was the only rural i mail carrier who covered his entire , route, Monday, and he didn’t get to Syracuse until 4:30 in the afternoon, after getting the services of a team to get his car to town over the No. Webster road. Even after the snow fall ed. the wind kept it up. Bob Lepper started to Goshen about 3 o’clock . Monday afternoon driving for Mel Ra'pp. He reached Goshen, but got caught in the snow on his return : trip. He got as far as the Nymeyer farm. When he telephone Rapp, he told him to go back to Goshen, which Lepper did, spending the night at the Wayne Hoielcher home. Lepper was accompanied by James jConnolly. Mel and Joe Rapp started from Syracuse and managed to reach the stalled machine, dig it out and bring it home Monday evening. Harold Bowser, who had started from Goshen about 3 p. m* got as far as Solomon’s Creek when he hit > a drift, in which his car buried itself. Men working on the Elkhart county snow plow, out clearing roads iff this vicinity, helped him out, he said, but as the snow plow was not ■ coming Syracuse way. Bowser left his car there, and came to Syracuse by sleigh afe-mt 8 p. in. Lockwood, who lived nesh- there, agreed to bring , him home, after he went after sorne--1 one else who had previously asked ': for help.

WOMAN WITH INFECTED ARM IN HOSPITAL Mrsi Knox Stetler, who lives near Solomon’s Creek, was taken to the. Elkhart hospital, Tuesday after noon, where her arm was opened to remove the infeelad matter in it. Mrs. Stetler cut Herseift - with a paring knife. The cut became infectsed and blood poisoning set in. The doctor tried to reach the Stetler home from Syracuse, Tuesday, but it was necessary for him to wait until the plow had opened the road from Syracuse to Milford. He drove to Milford, then to Goshen on the main highway, and back to Solcrtnon’s Creek because the 3 r a mile road between Syracuse and the Stetler home was impassable. He took Mrs. Stetler to the hospital in Elkhart Tuesday afternoon. LEARN OF ILLNESS Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Whistler received a telephone message from j their Mrs. Irvin Bailey in Jackson, telling them that the young Bailey twins were threatened with pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. Whistler wished to leave for Jackson when the message was received. Wednesday, but were unable to do so on account of the snow. They hope to get away Friday.

’ a huge majority of people living in ' the Wawasee district not only want the road to be finished according to ! the present plans, but that they 1 would-regard any interference with these plans as interfering with the prosperity of this district. | The road will enhance the value of ■ property on Lake and in Syracuse, due to increased accessibility; transportation facilities will be so greatly increased that a bus line will eventually be established through Syracuse; greater prominence will be given to Syracuse lake, and the town 1 will be more accessible as a trading ' center for those year-round residents ' who live in the district of the present unpaved Hills and Lakes road. This fine new road will be open to /farmers south of Syracuse, and resip dents along this road, whether they } live in the country or in town will ’ have that eppertunity for making ’ money, utilized by all residents of '• main thoroughfares—“ Rooms for , Tourists.” For the tourists go where the pavf ed roads lead. They can’t seek out j towns whose names they don’t even . know, on side roads. 1 In the short while the editor has 1 been here, he’s learned to like tours ists—but the Journal is first for the i year round residents who consider i Syracuse their home, their trading center. Here’s for plenty of paved t roads to accommodate them!

H. F. Mock was accompanied by his two sons. He was bruised on his right side, and one of his sons received a bump on his head. The others in the accident escaped injury. The seven pigs in the truck, bound for the stock yards were east out into the snow, and rather than load them on to the truck again, it was decided easier to drive them up to the stockyards at the next crossing. Residents near the scene of the accident heard the crash and rushed to offer assistance, some, helping out occupants of the wrecked cars, while others phoned for the doctor.

MENTONE IS VICTORIOUS IN TOURNEY Syracuse Loses Out in Saturday Morning B. B. Game. Mentone won the sectional basketball tournament, held in the Warsaw armory, Saturday evening, by defeating Milford 29 to 22. Milford lead at the start of the game, caging 5 points before Mentone scored. Six minutes later Men-?_ tone tied, and was leading 10-6 at the end of the first quarter. Milford forged ahead in the second quarter, but’ had dropped back, the score being 15 to 14 in favor of Mentone at the end of the half. The end of the third quarter saw Mentone’s lead increased to 18 to 14. During the last quarter, Mentone increased this lead to the final" 29-21 victory. There were several interruptions in the game, one, when Troup of Milford was injured and taken from the floor? the other when there was a mix up of whistles.. ’ he score' keeper blew his whistle three times to signal to the referees that a substitute player was being sent in. The referee didn’t hear, tjie game continued with some players playing, and others stopped. During this interval Mentone scored a field 7 goal and a Milford player had afoul called on him. ! . All this happened with six players on the floor for Milford. During the heavy discussion that followed the rule book was brought out bn the floor, to try to find something in there to govern such oecuFrences. Mentone was permitted to toss the free throw. * Syracuse had been eliminated in the first game played Saturday morning, when Mentone won, 26 to 25. Dissatisfaction with tbe official decision which gave the game to Mentone was expressed by all of the Syracuse fans immediately after the game, but although a group wgp.t to the scorekeeper’s stand, the decision handed. Syracuse was leading 25 to 22 near the end of the game, when JMue of Mentone broke up some SyreewM passing , and shot a basket. In a few moments the ball was again near the Mentone player, with several Syracuse and MentPne players on it. According to the statements of dissatisfied team backers afterwards, with j this group of players around the ball, the referee blew his whistle for a jump ball. All the players but Blue withdrew, and that Mentone player shot the ball through the basket. Instead of referees waving to the scorekeepers that this score of course d d not count, the game proceeded, the ball beifig taken to center for a toss ' ?. up. Just then the gun sounded. Mentone had wpn, 26 to* 25. When the Syracuse rooters protested at the scor-ekeepers stand, they were told that the referees said they had blown no whistle for a jump ball just before the Mentone winning shot. So Syracuse was eliminated from the tournament. The game had started with Syracuse’s first two scores coming from free throws caged by Robison and Lepper. Then Mentone shot a basket, and Lepper shot a field goal for Syracuse. The,score was tied f 2 and 2 and 4 and 4, but the first quarter ended with Mentone leading 5 to 4. ’ Syracuse had many shots at the bafsket during this quarter, but it seemed impossible for players to put the ball through the ring. During the second quarter Mentone had increased its lead to 8-4 when Nicodemus caged a long shot from center, raising the score 8 to 6. The score was 14 to 10, Mentone still in the lead at the end of the half. Bitner shot the first basket for Syracuse at the start'of the second i half. Jones’s shot from the center of the floor tied the 18-16 score into an 18-18 one. Mentone broke this tie, raising 20 to 18 in their favor, at the end of the third quarter. Robison’s free throw cut this to • 20-19 for Mentone, and then Bitner’s » basket made the score 21 to 20, Syral cuse leading. Robison quickly caged > a field goal raising the score 23 to 20. i Mentone shot one cutting the Syra- , ctise lead 23 to 22, and then Nico- ■ demus shot one, giving Syracuse the t 25-22 score, which preceded Hue’s basket for Mentone which cut the lead of Syracuse 25 to 24. Then’s when the rnixup occurred, during which the winning basket was shot > for Mentone, after a referee’s whistle - had been blown for a jump ball, ac- - cording to both indignant fans and - the players who stood aside for the 1 jump ball, only to see the basket i shot for a Mentone win. Only two fouls were called on )- Syracuse players during this (Continued on Last Page),
