: • ; £ 6/Arthur Brisbane WIRELESS POWER? WHEN WHEN EARTHQUAKES COME SO, BRITAIN BUILDS AIR MAIL TEACHES US

Everyday brings new, amazing things, and a million years from now there will be as many, perhaps more, marvels, some of them coming from neighboring planets, with which we shall have learned to talk. City, Okla, informs you that / scientists hope to drive a railway / motor carA2 milea from Boise Chy to Clayton, N. M. with power sent into space by short-wave broad cast. The Santa Fe railroad expects to make the experiment soon. This may be one step in what will be the greatest of all inventions in connection with ti ansportation—wireless transmission of power. When flying machines, on their way across the continent, can pick Up, by wireless, pOAer from Niagara and other stations :s they pass, carrying no fuel with them, or pick up power from power stations established in mid-ocean, the flying problem will be solved. This old earth, that ce sed being incandescent, then red hot, then bubbling in spots, only a few hundred million years ago, is Still settling and shifting a little, like the crust of a pie fresh from the o\en. There are contracting and exp.nding, geological slips and slic es, and in the earth’s interior volcanic disiurbince, sometimes caused hy inrush of salt wa'er into deep, red hot crevices. Therefore, men read oh the front page, ‘"Earthquake Rocks Utah Cities, Disturbance Extending to k'oho. Wyoming, Nevada and Califo nia." A slight shaking any* here on earth’s surf ce is terrifying, but it is only part of the normal adji stments of a planet still in Ls infancy, having, according to science, at least a million million more years to go. The British conclude, sadly, that war must come, and, wisely, decide to be ready. Intensified warship building begins, with 17 major w rships, including three powerful submarines, in the program. Britishers hate submarines, bej cause Britain has so many ships afloat, and submarines sink floating ships, but if others hate them Britain must have them. It will interest our financial wiz--'def pi ittling billions in bonds, paying i»s many billions in interest, to learn that Britons feel able to build because their budget sbous a surplus of more than sl*. 5.000,000 this year. No surplus in our blessed country, thanks to sending to friends in Europe billions that will not "return. Next in interest to British warship building come* the birth of a child in London with a “tail" 2 inches long. This should have happened while William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Durrw were arguing evolution in Tennessee. Infants with tails ar» born occasionally, confirming Darwin's belief that the small In-carved ee coccyx at the lower end of every human backbone was once a fullfledged tail. There is nothing in this to worry the proud soul rebelling against “descent from, monkeys." Darwin never said wo descended from monkeys, only that he canto up in a parallel line of development, diverging and passing the monkey on our way up. Evolution teaches and proves that every different lower animal forms in the months previous to birth. You may see that for yourself in museums. If that suits the plans of Providence even now, it might also have suited those plans to -have animal life, as a whole, come up through the same process. The President, shocked by deaths among army mail pilots, has ordered all air mail service discontinued,. I panding reorganization on a commercial basis. The loss in the experiment of suddenly trying to make air mail flyers of army flyers, while deeply regrettable, will not have been entirely wasted. The country has learned, and the government doubtless has learned, that improvemeets are called for in the arrangement of our air forces for national Flyers of the army and navy have proved their skill in many ways, and their courage in every possible way. But recent experience proves that there are some things they do not know about flying that they would need to know in case of war. It is inconceivable that even a country as slow as this, when it comes to making important changes will fail to after recent experiments and unpleasant deaths, that war flying, the air defense of the nation, should be under the President, In a separate department with a separate bead. United States population last year increased about 797,000, making the total approximately 126,144,000. TMs tnereaee should not worry you, for it b the lowest, with two exceptions, in the past sixty years. Abo, any one of the several states tn thb Union could feed all the people in the United States. Giant Texas, intensively cultivaetd, could food all human beings now on earth, •bout 1,800,0».000 of them.

SPRING, DUE YESTERDAY IS ON WAY Heavy, Snowstorm Saturday Causes Many Auto Wrecks. Following the w;rm, sunshiny weather of last Friday, came the hunderstorm Saturday which preceded the heavy snowstorm of that evening—-and a number of automobile accidents, for.un kly without serious results. Commencing about 7p. m., the snow fell so as to cover windshields f i.u omobi'ee, the flakes swi: led so n the fall it was diflicult to see the [headlights of o: e’s car, drivers at. ie, and as it had rained and frozI en before the six inches t-f snowfall I covered the ground, c.r wheels skid< ed. I 1 Deal Cat, n ; ght w tchmw reports that six cars with flat tires ! were lined up on Main sheet, late Saturday night. The car which Or*al Snobarger ' | bought to make into a wrecker w s made into a wreck following the stoim, S. turday night, and has [ • ince been converted into the wrecker. With Orland Strieby, he was driving towards town when his car left Rad 11 near the bridge just in bick of the -Silver Beach hotel, formerly the U-Kum-B .k. The m.•hine slid down the bank there, ; -mushing the body of the car but not injuring the occupcnts. They h; d to walk as far as the Menzenbergei home before anyone would open his door when they i knocked, as it was bte, everyone eeemed to expect the knock to be that of John Dillinger. Erl Menzenberger admitted them ; to the house, ga»e them coffee and hey telephoned to town for a car. I When Snobarger’s one-time sedan was removed f; om the wreck scene and brought to the garage, the body : was so damaged that the entire chas- i sis was removed. It is also reported that that same night Joe Rapp’s car and that of the •jitney” man from Gdshen, collided on Huntington street. Also, on his way home byway of North/Hunting- I '.on, Orval Klink’s car ran into a ditch that night. He said he was try- • tng to follow the tracks of a car | which had gone ahead of him, so as -to keep on the road, and that fellow had gone into a ditch. Klink didn’t i know this until following the tracks { put his car into the ditch too. It j was necessary for him to get help : to get the car back on the road. E ri Menzenbe: ger’s car left the lake road near the John Rentfrow fruit farm, Monday afternoon, as- • ter hitting an icy spot, and the car crashed into the wire fence, missing a telephone pole. The only damage done was. a dent in one fender of the machine. With the arrival of spring, yesterday, March 21st, snow melted rapidly, temperature shot back up from the 6 above aero to which it i had fallen by Monday morning, and , mud rather than snow y/as com- i plained of. / According to reports from those who live on Syracuse lake, the ice i had melted away fromihe shores, yesterday, and there would be much damage done, should a heavy windstorm come up. “Beanie” Howard claims that yesterday he saw a frog jump into the open water in front of his home and i swim away. Joe Smith says he saw a pair of I blue birds, Friday. He claims that the people who reported for the Journal last week that they had seen “first robins” have nothing on him. Mr. and Mrs. McClellan at Butt’s Landing report the arrival of redheaded woodpeckers at their home, as well as other birds, and that J many ducks flew north last week, many ducks flew north last week. Mrs. C. W.c Howard says she is feeding a chewink or towhee, according to the description of the bird book. Mrs. Orval G. Carr, cleaning house, was stung by a bee on March 21st. BUYS BROTHER’S SHARE Yesterday, bought his brother Frank 'RRwk’s share in the Klink Brothers Meat Market, because of Frank’s ill health, and the market will now continue in business under the name of Dan Klink. Frank Klink moved here and i became a partner of his brother about 20 years ago. Dan Klink has been in business here for 32 years.

$66.76 RECEIVED FROM CLASS PLAY j Juniors Entertain Crowd with “I i Will, 1 Won’t” Friday Evening, Also Girls Octette. With all expenses paid, the Junior class of the Syracuse High School has as its receipts from the class play last Friday evening, $66.76. The play “I Will, I Won’t”, directed by Miss Lucille Henwood, was enacted in the living room of a ’ girls dormitory at college. Lucille Owen, wKose part was taken by Vir- : ginia Riddle, wanted to go on a party over the week-end but becitse of low grades had been for- | bidders to leave the campus. By chance she had met her double' on the street, who turned out to be her j cousin. Carney" Underwood Jr., or Loys Juday, who intended to take Lu- ' cillc to the party, Lynn Patton, Lu- ■ cille’s roommate, or Margaret Smith ; Dr. Anthony King, the school doc- [ tor, or Voyle Osborn, were all drawn into the work of keeping the ‘ dean, or Helen Garrison, from fiudI ing out that Joan Stevens, also enacted by Virginia Riddle, was not ! Lucille, the co-ed. When Joan, who went on a coast- ' ing party in place of Lucille, who had gone on the houseparty, spraineu her ankle, matters became in-' ; volved, because the two girls could ' not change \ places on Sunday as planted, but the one with the ! sprained ankle must keep up the impel sonation for a month. Lucille, running away from the difficulty went to Palm Beach to visit Carney’s mother. Glad Howard, another coed, fond of the doctor, and je lous ■f .loan, learned the secret and forced Joan to treat the doctor coldly and play up to Elliot Fletcher, or Robert Ott, who never suspected I she was not Lucille. The maid, Georgette, or Bernice Held, also knowing the secret, had . to be paid money frequently to keep quiet. When Mrs. Stevens, Luci.le’s grandmother enacted by Willodean Mock, arrived at ’he sch<>ol, the secret was out, but Mrs. Stevens found that Joan was the daughter of the son she had disinherited, and when Lucille wired that she had married Carney Underwood, Mrs. Stevens took Joan as her rightful heir, and furnished the money for . the hospital which Dr. King had so set his heart upon. Between acts the High School girls octette, accompanied by Miss Olive * Baugher at the piano, sang, and Juanita Geiger, Geneva Rogers and Wyvonna Greider, black-f ced, clog j danced; and Jean Burr also in disj guise gave a solo clog.

GOSHEN, Ind—ln the SIO,OOO damage suit of Mrs. Margaret Wehrly, 88, of Syracuse against John Baker, janitor of an Elkhart school, an agreed judgment of SSOO was entered in Elkhart superior court, Monday afternoon. The compromise followed the court’s refusal to grant the defendant a change of venue on the ground that an agreement had been reached in open court some time ago to try the case before a jury. The claim for damages was based on an automobile collision that occurred July 12, 1932, at an Elkhart . street intersection. Mrs. Wehrly was riding with her grandson, Joe Kindig, who was driving his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Kindig, to Michigan. It will be recalled in the accident Mrs. Wehriy suffered a broken collar bone.

CONSERVATION CLUB IS TO SPEAR FISH Game Warden to Permit Six Spears for Club Here to Rid Waters of Predatory Fish. Following the of the 20th conservation club within the i county this one at Warsaw, Tues- i day evening, Noah Eaton, game J warden of Kosciusko county, came to Syracuse yesterday to arrange the ; final details for the W awasee Conservation club to obtain six speais j to, be used in spearing predatory fish. 4’Roscoe Howard, vice president of i the club, made out the application I for the spears, Tuesday night. Eaton explained that a spear could be kept out 12 hours by one , crew composed of three men. One of ■ these men would have to be either an officer of the club or a director of the executive committee. So Fred Hoopingarner, president, i Roscoe Howard, vice president, i W arren Colwell, appointed an executive, nr med a committee composed i of C. W. Howard, Herb King, M. W. Macy, Russell Hinderer and Fielden Sharp, as they felt that officers of the club would not want to go out every night. The officers of the club hope that some of the executive committee will • go out every night with a crew. Eaton also re-iterated his former I statement that the raising of quail . within the vicinity would be done by the Wawasee Conservation club. Twenty-five pairs of mated birds will be turned over to the club, ac* : cording to the present plans. Kosciusko county is leading the state in the number of club members, and in the number of Conser- \ vation Clubs. So f r there are 2,250 members in the 20 clubs of the county.

March 22— 1 The appeal of the Department of Conservation to the fisherman of ; the state to ajd in a scientific study >of fish in the lakes and streams is bringing results, Virgil M. Sim- I mons, Commissioner of the Depart- • ment, announced today. A number of scales have already been received i and will be examined to determine the age of the fish from which they were taken. Accompanying the scales, the Department has received data showing the length and weight of the fish and the location in which the fish was taken. This information, to- i gether with the age of the fish as determined by a study of the scales will enable department officials to determine whether or not the fish has attained its normal size. The purpose of this survey, it was stated, is to know definitely the i conditions under which fish develop best in Indiana lakes and streams that the required foods may be provided in aress where they are lack- j ing at the present time. This in- J formation, together with other being collected by the game .wardens will guide the Department in the distribution of fish from the state I hatcheries and rearing ponds this year.

O TOWN BOARD HAS REGULAR MEETING Plan to “Black Top” Streets if Syracuse Bank Re-opens;Work to be Done this Spring. Taking up the discussion of the town light contracts where it was dropped at the last meeting, the j town board,, Tuesday evening, askI ed that the Northern Indiana Public ; Service representatives change the , contracts between the town and the j utility company to straight five I year contracts. They asked that the extension clause, making the contracts good i from year to year, unless otherwise notified by either of the two contracting parties, be eliminated. The contracts have been signed by both parties and have been changed tvi-ice. Members of the town board contended that they didn’t know that the clause “unless a 60 days notice i was given at the end of five years, ! the contract will be extended from year to year;” was in the contract. ■ They admitted that they were more , interested in the rates than in the •; time limit when the contracts were sinned. — —— “Noble Myers, local representative |of the N. I. P. S. Co., explained that the contracts were standard ■ forms used by the company, and i that he would take the matter up ! with higher officials. No difficulties were expected to result from the board’s request. It was learned during the discussion of the progress of work on park, that W. D. Shannahan, manager of the Goshen district of the N. I. P. S. Co. , had i donated $5 toward buying dynamite I for use at the park. No definite action was taken, but [ members of the board discussed . “black topping” Lake, Front, Bosi ton and Mill streets, and some cross streets. If the local bank opens, the work will probably be done this spring. The board hopes that about two i miles of street can be graded and a coat of black top applied at an estimated cost of between S2OO and S3OO per mile. Two other coats of black top will be applied, one each year, according to future plans of the board. The board believes that money and water will be saved if the streets are improved. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Announcement is being made of the marriage of Miss Katherine Kern daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Kern, to Wallace Baugher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Baugher, Tuesday afternoon in Warsaw. Mrs. Baugher graduated from Syracuse High School iQ the class of 1933, and Mr. Baugher graduated in 1932.

WILL THERE BE A BANK IN SYRACUSE? March 24 Date Set By State When Waivers Must Be Signed. According to the written statement of Charles Purdum, this morning, regarding re-opening the State Band of Syracuse: “Very satisfactory progress is being made -in connection with completion of arrangments for reopening the Syracuse Bank. It is urgent that the remaining depositors who have not signed waivers, do so at once as there are only a few days left to complete the arrangements and the deposits must be waivered before we can complete the program.” At the meeting scheduled to take place some time soon, a plan is expected to be worked out by the directors of the bank whereby the bank, which has been on a restricted basis can be opened quickly on tn “A” basis with federal guarantee of deposits. Charles Purdum, chairman of the committee representing depositors, who has been negotiating with the directors of the bank and those who have seemed to oppose the bank’s plan of reopening, hopes to bring the two factions together in a meeting in which he hopes that differences wifi be smoothed over or ignored. After conferring with both sides, a plan suggested for reopening the bank, wfcs laid before the directors last Thursday afternoon, and stated in simple terms: that those who previously had not approved the plan would purchase the stock which has not been sold, and bring in enough depositors’ waivers, signed, so that the bank could open without further trouble, providing that they were ■fiil'ftoAeed they would have a representative on the~boai-4 ' ' rectors. The state banking department has requested that instead of five directors, the, number in the old institution, jthat seven directors will direct the-new institution. \ ■ The state banking department has N also requested that the new institution here in Syracuse employ a new cashier, one that has not formerly jbeen connected with the institution in any way; one that is a stranger ito the community. - , Although many rumors of how the bank is to be reopened at once, have been in the air this week, this morning at press time, no definite accomplishment was announced by bank officials. One thing is certain: Bank stock must be bought, and waivers must be signed, by March 24th', according to the state banking department. Or elseAnd while a few hold up the reopening of the bank, whatever the motive, there are those wfio sire dopendant upon deposits there to pay grocery bills, doctor bills, buy clothing, pay for coal, do repair work on the house, painting.. Most of the community has gladly signed waivers, that the bank may become a going institution. But their fate * rests in the hands of those who have not yet signed waivers, who have not paid for bank stock. —z o L DEER BEING RELEASED INDIANAPOLIS^ - Ind—• Liberation of deer in southern Indiana by the Department of Conservation on plans developed since the first; of the year, Was started during the past week when the first of a shipment of 30 whitetailed deer from the northern peninsula of Michigan was received at Corydon and Jasper.
