The great war has influenced many things
and the question Of marriage is one of them.
Many young men have been killed and this
mewha narrows woman's choice. Especially 10
this true in England and on the continent. In
America IL does not matter so much.
But in America. as elsewhere, the war has
made women more serious-minded. They have
learned to share the burdens and to shoulder re-
sponsibilities like men.
business life is and women have come to find
more genuine and lasting enjoyment in COM
panionship with a man of thirty or forty who il
settled and who knows what life means.

VERYBODY in the world has been told at
least a hundred times what to do for a
person in a faint. Yet what happens
when somebody topples over? There il a rush
to lift the head and shoulders Of the victim.
In kindness Of heart everybody strives to be the
one person TO hold the head of the sufferer.
You know better, surely, but why do you
act this way in an emergency?
How can presence of mind be taught? Con-
fdence comes with knowledge. 1t is a twin Of
knowledge. If you know all about a subject, you
cannot be upset If sudden call is made on your
knowledge.
A good driver is never frightened if the
horses act up and stand on their hind feet. He
knows exactly what to do. The trained and ex-
perienced automobiles knows what to do in an

in a garage at 312 West Maryland
street, which he didn't own, for
81, 500.
Haley was arrested Sunday when
he left the state prison at Mont

FARM COHORT
LAUDS HOOVER
Settle Believes President
Elect Will Keep Promises
of Campaign.

| William H. Settle, president of the
Indiana Farm Bureau Federation
who fought for AL Smith in the
recent campaign, today wholeheart-
eddy praised President-elect Her
bert Hoover and declared he felt
certain Hoover would keep his
promises for farm relief.
Settle delivered his annual speech
at the federation convention at the
Cleypool, before 1000 delegates, the
largest attendance in the organiza-
tons history.
The convention ends Tuesday eve
ming. 1t opened at 10 this morning.
'It is the duty Of every farmer
to fight for adequate legislation, u
Settle declared. 1.-THE rural home,
the rural school and the rural
church depend on the prosperity Of
the farmer.
Coolidge Doesn't Understand"
at seems that we have won," he
referred to Herbtr Hoover's speech
declaring for the establishment of
a federal farm bureau, made in ST.
Louis just prior to the election, "but
we can lose everything yet.
I'm my opinion the only thing
that would prevent real farm relief
| legislation would be to undertake to
jam an agricultural bill through the
short session of congress that con-
veneS Dec. 3.
1T is apparent that President
Coolidge, referring to his own state
mentS, does not understand agri-
cultural problems. An attempt to
enact legislation in the short term
would no doubt prevent Hoover from
carrying out the program he has
promised, promise am certain
will be kept"
Settle outlined the farm bureaus
stand for the Democratic platform
in the presidential election and re-
ceived wave of applause.
He lauded President elect Hoover
and outlined the new chief execu-
tive's federal farm plan for agricul-
tural relief
''Must Organize"
1.-THE Need of a Militant Farm
Bureau" was the subject of M. S.
Winder of Chicago, executive Sec
rotary of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
ct is squarely up to the incom-
ing administration to come through
and make good to the American
farmers on promises of the last
eight years." he declared.
I'VE must organize into one gil
gantic group, compact, and agrees
sively active" he said. Then, and
then only, can we make the nation
understand that we, too, must have
the protection which makes it pos
sible to enjoy the high standard of
living given workers in other fields.

prominence are on the conven-
tons two-day program. George E.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-ReScue
ships were unable to reach the
steamship Vestris when it sank two
weeks ago because erroneous bear
ingS were given when the SOS was
sent out, Captain L. M. OverStreet
of the U. S. S. Wyoming testified at
the federal investigation into the
disaster today.
Captain Overstreet told Commits
sioner O'Neill and two naval eX-
pertS sitting at the hearing that a
check-up of positions made since
the disaster showed the Vestris was
thirty-six miles east of the posi-
ton given at the time.

place at $50 p. m.
Captain Overstreet said life pre-
servers used in American pas
senger service were not safe, and
should be replaced by some similar
to those used by the navy.
Passenger service life belts are
too low on the body, Captain
Overstreet said, and when the per-
son using one collapses, allow his
head to fall in the water and
drown. Navy belts have support
to hold the head up, and fit higher
around the body.
Four Reasons for Disaster
Another witness, Harry Wheeler,
superintendent of the Lamport &
Holt lines, listed four possible rea-
sons for the sinking of the VeStrlS
when he took the stand.
First-Rupture of the shell-plate.
Second-Sheering or parting OF
the seams.
Fracture of one or more
sea connections.

He said he hoped to complete his
inquiry by Tuesday and was asked
by U. S. Attorney Charles A. Tuttle
to return Tuesday afternoon with
his complete findings.

Wheeler said he was delayed in
the inquiry by collapse of Chief
Engineer James F. Adams, who
broke down while being questioned
at Lamport 81 Holt offices Sun
day.

expert.

Fires Hurt All Business

"In the present economic scheme of things" says
the Modern Fire Chief, I'VE live in a very closely-knit
and interrelsted world. Cooperation is the basis Of
our economic order, which is affected and regulated
by a very intricate system Of exchange. Each Of US
can enjoy success in the long run, only as long as tae
whole system of things prospers. Because Of this CO.
operative interdependenee any waste Of labor or capt.
tai affects each Of US.
Knowing this { be true, why do we Americans
so complacently regard our annual fire loss as a matter
Of course-something that only affects those who
suffer a fire? What a fallacy it is to believe that the
effects Of a fire are limited to the factory or the build
ing OF the home that is destroyed!
What happens when an industrial plant burns ?
Production ceases, and when work stops, men naturally
are thrown out OF work. When work ceases, salaries
and wages cease. Perhaps it soon becomes necessary
to draw out Of saving accounts and the like. Only the
absolute necessities Of life are purchased. The buy
ing power OF the people Is lessened."
The public should realize that our tremendous an
nual direct fire loss Of nearly Ss0O.0OO,O0O IL but a
small part Of an inestimable total. The indirect loss
in wages, business, time and employment is a great
additional burden that must be borne by all Of US, and
which is not insured"

voted. 1t is true the platform committee
rejected a proposal calling for q modification Of the
volstesd Act. but 1t is also true that IL rejected one
calling for the retention Of it unmodified. The two
actions of the committee signify logically q ~determina-
ton to leave the question Of the Volstead Act an open
one toward which individuals might assume either Of
the two possible attitudes without being disloyal to
the platform. Governor Smith exercised the freedom
thus given him in making the statement he did
There can be no quarrel with those who feel that
Governor Smiths position with respect to the Volstead
Act makes it their duty to vote against him, or ut least
their duty not to vote for him. But there can be quar-
rel with the argument that Governor Smith first bolted
the platform and thus left them free to bolt the ticket.
