heard about an hour after midnight
| Monday was recorded music coming
, from the amplifying system in the
College tower which some prankish
collegians may have intended for a
lullaby. However, instead of soothing,
| it aroused some light sleepers who
apparently couldn't see the humor in
the affair. All of which reminds us
of an observation made by President
Stevenson of Oberlin last spring in a
similar situation that ave can usual

The frost evidently didn't catch all
of the corn before maturity. Two
ears of fine popcorn grown by Grover
Devier are attracting much attention
in the Bluffton News window. Grover
has really fine patch of popcorn
this year.
John Garlinger has a sportsman's
code of his own which a lot of other
hunters might we'll adopt. John went
out during the squirrel season, just
past, and brought down Is of them
just enough to provide meat for
his table needs, instead of trying for
record kill and resultant waste of
food. Also John didn't go out on Sat-
urday-he said that day should be
left for the fellows who worked and
couldn't get out on the other days
of the week. Sounds to us like a
pretty practical and workable pro-
gram for any sportsman.

Altho it was nearly 80 years since
he left the teaching profession, tri-
butes to his memory from many of
his former school pupils and gradu-
ates were significant in the passing
of B. F. Biery, publisher of the
Bluffton News. The bond between
teacher and pupil which remained
over a half f-century was always with
him a pleasant memory and char
acteristic Of the old school of educa-
tion.
One of his most priced momentos
was the large picture Of all the
classes in the Bluffton schools taken
in 1897 when he was superintendent.
The picture has hung for many years
on the wall opposite his desk in the
News office.
He brought with him into the pub
fishing business many of the ideals
of the teaching profession and was
one of the last of the group of men
who were active in Bluffton civic
and business affairs at the turn of
the century when the town expert
enced its first notable growth.
Those were Une DAYS when Bluffton
college opened its doors and spanked
by unexpected income from the oil
boom, business expended and Bluff
ton began to enjoy some of the lux
urious and comforts unknown to the
earlier generation; telephones and
electric lights and a city water sys-
tenn made their appearance and there
was the infant cream separator in

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
Everyone who has seen the Penta-
gon Building here is astounded at
its thousands of rooms, its miles
of corridors and its of Win
dows. Most thinking people breath
lessly gasp and ask: But why did
they build the headquarters of the
U. S. Army at this exposed loca-
ton on the Atlantic Seaboard? Why
didn't they build it in the center
of the country where it would be
much freer from bombing or revo-
lution?"
Our Only Security
The same question can be asked
about the great Agricultural De-
partment building; - they certain
ly should be in the Central West
probably in Kansas which is the
geographical center OF the coun-
try. The Interior Department
building should be in Kansas or
Colorado; certainly not in Wash
ignton, D. c. Let us remember
that the only reason for the Cap
ital being at Washington, D. c. IS
because the location then was the
real center of the Thirteen Colon
les which made up the original ma
ton
There is a debatable question as
to whether all Departments should
gradually be moved to n new
central location in the West, or
whether our Capital should be split
up into perhaps a half-dozen small
er capitals, so that "all of our
eggs are not in one basket. / am
inclined to the latter view; but
the important thing is to lay plans
Immediately to start at least one
New Washington somewhere. Let
us not wait until World War III
comes when u present Washing
ton will probably be destroyed.
Makes Suggestions
1t might be well for the present
to leave the Executive Department
at the White House and leave Con-
gress at the present Capital Build
ing. The Executive Offices need
much more room and they could
take over the Treasury Build
ing; but the State Department
could remain where it now is. The
Pentagon Building should be turn
ed over to the Navy which should
c~ontinueto have headquarters on
the Seaboard.
The Treasury Department could
be moved to Fort Knox (where all

Mrs. Capone was reported re
covering from her collapse, AFTER
several hours of close medical at
tention. Capone's aged mother'
who brought her family to this
country from Naples, Italy, soon
after Al was born, was said to
be ''standing ii wonderfully.
The body of Capone was embalm-
eo during the night, in the tuneral
home next door to a Miami Beach
night club. 1t had been taken from
the house within two hours after
death.
The slum-raised Capoae who
fought his way to the top of the
underworld with pistol, machine
gun and corruption, was blamed
directly Or indirectly for 500
deaths. Once worth millions, there
were many reports that he lived
Cor years on the bounty of his
brothers.
The estate was bought in 1880,
Just before Capone's empire turnbl-
ed and the emperor was sent to
prison for income tax fraud. Here
he retired after his parole, spend
the winters, and for nearly two
years his health had not permitted
him to leave.
AS his end drew near, old as
sociates of the days in Chicago

the remainder of the stamina that
carried him through gruelling
wars, but failed to beat the last

the change would be made at once
