SOUTH BEND. Ind. March q.
Politics is blamed for creating q
situation which brought about the
resignation Of w. w. Borden, for
twelve years superintendent Of
South Bend schools. At the same
time, Borden resigned as a mem
Der Of the state board Of educa-
ton
The superintendent in the past
had been rendered three-year con-
tracts, but this week the city school
board offered him one for only
year, and the resignation, to be
effective Aug. 81, followed. The
salary is $1,000 year.
Republican Led Fight
Jacob M. Chillas. a Republican
and close friend of w. Riley Hinkle,
South Bends Democratic mayor,
appointed to the school board by
the mayor when Frank J. Mayr Jr.,
Democrat, resigned to assume his
duties as secretary of state, is gen.
orally credited with organizing the
opposition to Borden among board
members.
Democrats Shift Blame
It is believed that use Of Chillas
was a master stroke on the part Of
Democrats, who are hopeful the
average voter will overlook the close
alliance of the board member and
the mayor and blame the Repub-
licans for the ousting Of Borden.
Chillas is rated as only nominally
Republican, but even that status
will serve to shift blame from the
Democrats, they believe.
It is not clear just what reasons
are held as an excuse for putting
Borden in the position which
brought about his resignation, but
there is talk that certain board
members resented the superintend-
ents action in handling some school
matters without first consulting
them and that his participation in
national and state educational af-
fairs was not fully approved.

R. H. Faulkner, vice president, an
nounced today.
The Auburn official pointed out
that the unprecedented demand
for the new 1881 Auburns had far
exceeded the company's expecta-
tions and that orders to date were
running ahead Of those of 1929,
the record year for the industry.
All departments at the Con-
nersville plant are working full
six-day-a-week schedules, wi it h
body and stamping departments
working Sundays and night shifts.
"While we anticipated a good
business in 1881 with the new
Auburn models" Faulkner said
today, eve were not prepared
for the tremendous acceptance
which has been given our lines
wherever they have been shown.
For instance, at the New York
Automobile Show, Eastern deal
erS ordered more than 5000
cars for immediate delivery.
At Washington, d. c., Cincin-
natl, Milwaukee and other au-
tOmObiIe shows, there has been
a repetition of this acceptance.
ct is indeed gratifying to us
that our dealers in every sec
tiOn in the country, Oftentimes
where the cars have not yet
been actually displayed, are
being swamped with orders.
To us this is ample proof that
the public has plenty of money
to buy if the merchandise is

WHEN TO BE BLIND
II AZ I1T1E
BY BRUCE BARTON


Ster, for my wife is holding
it. But instead of the beau
tiful cherub I remembered,
what is she holding? Some
thing that looks exactly ike
a Summer squash.
Without the blessed blind
ness of women it is difficult to
see how any marriage could
be a sustained success. We
men know each other-that
no one of us is very good. Yet
our wives have the silly no
ton that we are great stuff.
And by their faith they keep
us going.
Centuries ago a city was at
tackled by the armies of Syria
A prophet lived in that city.
A messenger rushed to him in
great alarm: Alas, my mas
ter! How shall we do?"
To which the prophet re-
piled calmly:
Fear not; for they that be
with us are more than they
that be with them"
And the eyes of the young
man were opened, and behold
the mountain was full OF
horses and chariotS round
about Elisha"
There are forces of good
ness in people that are visible
only to the eyes Of love. There
are forces of power that can
be estimated only by the eyes
of faith.
The important thing is to
be intelligently blind to the
surface defects, and to be
able to see and appreciate
the things that cannot be
seen.
