Brhb*ne MSN CAN DO It. RETIRES TOO YOUNG. TAKES FUNERALS SERIOUSL AN EVENTFUL YEAR

What men ean imagine they can da. Jules Varna Imagined a trip around the world in eighty days. Now it can be made by air in ; qoe tenth of eighty days. The same French* man invented a trip, to the moon by rocket that will travel, not to the moon as yet. bnt fifteen miles np into the stratosphere. Power will be produced by the ex* plosions of gasoline and oxygen. No man will go up with the rocket. It will carry scientific instruments that will make records, automatically. Ed Howe has discontinued publics* tion of his monthly magazine called his personal journal of “indignation and information.** Mr. Howe, now eighty-one years old, started the mag azine twenty-two yean ago, when he stopped editing the Atchison (Kan.) Daily Globe, organised by him in 1877 Ho believes that at eighty-one a man should “enjoy leisure** and winter sunshine. Mr. Howe's theory is that “every one Is born a radical and has to be* spanked, whipped and yelled at until ho learns the nereesity of con* nervation. If be never herns it he is locked up or hanged.*’ Ed Howe has never learned or prac tieod conservation in the usual sense of the word. Neither has anybody * that ever amounted to anything. Aho eighty-one *is too young to retire. At that age Leo was a great general and at 87 a famous Frenchman. writing the life of St.. Louis, established a new standard of French prose. Perhaps Ed Howe will start a weekly now and gradually go back to a daily. S. ’, > Frenchmen take funerals seriously. I When a hearse peases all Frenchman Stop and remove their hats.

The minister of public works delivered the fumgal orgtion. Gon. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator, says the year just closed has been the most eventful in the nation’a history, and ho may bo right. It is the first year in which the government has Interested itaelfc. in millions idle, worried and hungry. Such conditions previously have been left to "supply and demand." I British scientists believe they have devised a "life-death" ray "capable of projecting bacteria emanations which will destroy humans, animals and crops." It is believed that the ray can also bo used beneficially "for neutralizing plague conditions and fostering health lor animals and plant life.** After "civilised man" gets tired of using it to kill hie neighbors the ray vrfll bo devoted to useful work.

Defeat Webster 22 to 24 Friday evening before Christmas, against the North Webster team which had previously defeated Syracuse 19 to 17. Coach Beck divided his squad into two teams, using one (earn, one quarter and then the other thus developing a system of play resembling Notte Dame’s system of football. In the first quarter the light horse troop composed of Kline, Hibschman, MUler. Freeman and Pfingst skirmished with the boys from Webster, each side winning five points. Then the dr-, goons of Syracuse, Stucky, Searfoss, Culler, Osborn and Jones took the floor to demoralize the enemy. But they were forced to retire at the end of the half' with North Webster leading 11 to 9. During the third quarter the light horse troop was again sent in by Beck Jand they tied the score at the end or\the quarter 15 all. The' dragoons again went into the fray. After several minutes of play with the score 20 to 17, North Webster leading. Miller was sent in for Stucky. Miller twisted himself around the man guarding him and put one through the basket and Jones immediately afterwards made a free throw, tying the score. Beazley of North Webster missed a free throw chance, and Kline, who had just been sent into the game, raced down the floor end throw one that went through the hoop, winning the game 22 to 20, just before the game ended. Hibschman of Syracuse and Scott of North Webster were high scorers of their teams, with five points each. Second Team Wins Syracuse's second team, composed of Bitner, Pfingst, Doll, CuUer Rogers, Searfoss, Jenson and Ott sadly trounced the North Webster squad in the preliminary game, 25 to 13. - Alumni Win 35 to 33. Christmas night, the High School team had to bow before the individual prowess of alumni players, but only after a real struggle. The scoring was close at all times and the crowd received money's worth of entertainment. At the end of the half, the alumni were in the lead 19 to 17, and at the end of the game the score was 35 to S 3. The game soon turned into a race between the two centers of the teams. Miller for the school and Beek for the alumni, as to which one could make the most pointe. Bock made 16 pointe and MUler 14 at - the end of game. Hibschman, .Kline, Searfoss, MilMCyHsiqU M p»ge» MRS.

Alice Jo Auer, two years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Auer swallowed a nail, Sunday afternoon a brass one, the kind which her mother uses to hold curtain rods in place. The baby was playing and found the box of nails, and spilled these on the floor, the afternoon before.

But Sunday afternoon about 6 •*- clock, Mrs. Auer was working in the kitchen and hoard her daughter coughing and choiring tot the front room. She ran to her to find the child black in the face. Mrs. Auer said she turned the baby upside down holding her by her heels, but whatever was in her throat had been swallowed. Mrs! Auer consulted the doctor, and fed the child food prescribed to cover whatever had been swallowed, to keep it from scratching internal organs.

When invited to attend the celebration, Howard said he was sorry, but he had to remain at the office as he was taking care of business, if any, for himself, for the Journal, ‘ and any calls which would come for .his brother, C. W. Howard. When Santa Claus had finished : distributing his treat to the children at the school house, he came to the office—but Roscoe was not there. H 4 was trying to find someone to take care of a call which had come for his brother, the plumber, who was out of town. So later in the evening when Roscoe had returned to the office, Warren T. Colwell, representing the Chamber of Commerce presented the gift to Roscoe which those in the of-, fico at the time, -claimed he seemed afraid to open at first, probably thinking it waa a bill.

I O I GETS CITIZENSHIP ] PAPERS ON DEC. 26 — . Sen. Arthur Robinson Obtains Action on EvanofTs Application for Duplicate of Citizenship. John Evanoff*s Christmas present, , his duplicate certificate of citizenship of the United States arrived but one day late, reaching him Dec. 26. The morning of the 26th, Evanoff said that he received a notice in the mail to come to the post office and; j when he did that, the certificate was turned over to him by the postmaster, i Evanoff, who is a Bulgarian, at present living on the Hoopingarner farm, bad obtained citizenship papers in 1917. These were recently destroyed and he was trying to obtain others when he came to the Journal office Dec. 13. ! By that time he had given up hope and asked that we write for him a letter to ’the department of naturalization in Chicago asking that they refund his money to him. He had ap- ; plied for duplicate papers in Septemi ber and paid another $lO, but the i only results were letters asking him ito report once in South Bend and QjQCiW in HMuniocui- Inti.. TEmf he wanted to have written was to ask to have the money sent back, that he would wait until another time to "become a citizen again." A letter was sent from the Journal office to Senator Arthur R. Robinson After telegrams from him to Washington, from there to Chicago, from Chicago to Washington and to the Senator, a letter sent to the Journal f-om Senator Robinson, Dec. 22, 1 stated: "A few minutes ago another wire came from Washington, reading as follows: "In re John Evanoff copy of certificate being sent to Chicago by air mail today Stop Further action out there will be delayed. on account holiday." So. on Dec. 26 Evanbff received hto citizenship papers, and coming into the Journal office aaked that a letter thanking the Senator be written with the statement made by Evanoff while he waved the papers 'and here is a vote for Senator Robinson’. ” 2- OLD GIRL SCALDED IN WATER Small Daughter of EUto Kober Sat in Bucket of Boiling Water; Con— I dition Reported as Improving. I Shirley Jean Koher, aged 2 last August, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Koher was scalded in an accident which occurred Tuesday last week in their home on Road 13 not far from the Vawter Park school. Mrs. Koher was scalding out a milk bucket, and had just poured boiling water into the bucket from ; the tea-kettle. When she turned to put the tea-kettle back on the stove, ' Shirley Jean, who waa playing nearby, slipped, and sat down in the bucket of boiling water. Her mother quickly tore thcxchild’s clothes from her, and applied ointment, and then held the child on her lap, face down, while Mr. Koher rushed to the doctor in Noish Webster. | The doctor gave them some salve with which to cover the child's burns, and warned them to watch, did not catch cold or her lufigs be- ’ come congested. Shirley Jean was reported as much improved this week; but that she had caught cold. The child has to sit down on her knees to eat. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED Following the regular meeting of the Eastern Star lodge last week, a pot luck supper was enjoyed, the I party being in honor of John Harley's | birthday.

$140,000 IN WAIVERS NOW ARE SIGNED Hope to Pay More Than . Soon After Bank Opens. Tuesday evening, two state and two federal ezaminers arrived at the State Bank of Syracuse. They ’ remained yesterday, going over the' business of the bank. ■- (The state examiners are making their annual examination of the i bank’s condition, and the federal ex-' aminers are making an examination 'to see if the Syracuse bank is eligible for federal insurance ‘of deposits, made possible for banks after I January, Ist. ; Waivers of deposits totalling approximately $140,000 had been made... by yesterday, according to Stephen ' i Freeman, president, which im<unt .. _ , is most gratifying. I When the examiners reports are made it will be known how much is v , necessary before the bank may resume business, but it thought between $166,000 and in waivers must be signed. * I So far the State Bank of Syracuse -- - has received no written notice that - a stockholders’ assessment is necessary to restore capital, and the Indiana statutes of 1933 provide that the assessment must be paid 30 days qfter a written notice has been received from the department. | The bank has received a verba! notification from a representative of ‘‘ the department and has sent notices of assessments to all stockholders. The date of the payment of the assessment according to the law shall not be less than 30 days from the day op which the notice is given to the stockholders, which in the local bank’s case will be Jan. 15. 4. Th© bank official -•»« . in regard to their plan for reorganizing the bank. More large depositors have signed the waivers than those who have not. Real estate has been sold, strengthening the cash position. Over $30,000 in mortgages have been refinanced through the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and through the Federal Land Bank, giving the bank more liquid assets. The bank officials only request is ‘ that the depositors who have not yet signed, do so, in order to hasten the reopening of the bank, and - releasing of 25 per cent of the deposits. The officials seemingly have no * ' fear as to the bank’s abiliyt to pay the 25 per cent ahd open the new bank with a strong cash reserve. For as they ezplained, with the sale of real estate, which will go towards restoring the impairment of capital, the refinancing of mortgages and the stock assessment, there is a liklihood that there will be enough money, after paying depositors 25 per cent of restricted deposits, that the declaring of a dividend on the restricted ■ deposits will be hastened, that is if the state bank department will allow the proceeds from the sale of real estate deposited in this manner. Service Charges. I Officials of the bank have received a copy of the Indiana Bankers code. I In this is listed the various service charges in regard to checking ac- , counts, certifying checks, etc. I When the bank will enforce these - service charges is not definitely known, for the county organization has not’ yet acted, but according to Stephen Freeman these charges will be uniform and go into effect all over the county and the district, in a few days. r The banking hours will also be shortened from 40 hours a week to 38. O < PLEAS CHANGED TO GUILTY; SENTENCED Accomplices of Hawthorne Sentenced For Assault with Attempt to KJH Freeman Moore. , Two days after a jury had found James Howthorne guilty of assault with attempt to kill Freeman C. Moore, his two confederates who were arrested with him, William Lamphorn and William Laughlin, also of Fort Wayne, entered pleas of guilty in circuit court before Judge Vanderveer. They also were found , guilty of assault with attempt to kill and were sentenced to from one to *lO years at. the state reformatory, the same sentence which Hawthorne received. Their former pleas of not guilty were withdrawn by them.
