% The Kake County Register A great volume of credit business is not necessarily promis-- cuous credit. Retail merchants are doing vastly more credit business but it is being done with people who pay their bills promptly. _ Modern credit is on a scientific basis reducing losses to a fraction of those under the face--reading method of yesterday. J EDITORIALLY SPEAKING. 6 _ When Samuel Insull makes up his mind to do a thing, one can rest assured that it will be accomplished. . In speaking about the $20,000,000 Civic Opera House for Chicago, Insull states that work will start this spring and will be finished by the winter of 1929. The gigantic structure will make Chicago one of the--n;;u;;: centers of the world. Money may not be everything, but it is And on top of this testimony on the country's financial sta-- bility comes from the National Association of Credit Men an ex-- planation why this stability has stood unfaltering these several years while the volume of credit business mounted by leaps and bounds. What is that explanation? i "People are paying their bills." ; * A comprehensive survey covering many lines of business and all classes of buyers proves that the average consumer does his share manfully toward supporting the larger credit structure of the nation. That only sixty--eightcents is defaulted out of every $100 of credit business is eloquent testimony to the inherent hon-- esty of the great American family. In spite of the publicity being given to Jai alai, the newly introduced game, Chicago continues to go in strong for its three familiar sports--auto killings, shootings, and bombings. At this writing the three are running neck and neck in the number of victims. In order to systematize these sports, we suggest that u&ho-sdthcd-ybmddoummgd.dufingm goy&&cuflmommmfinofwatchingm es e ue e t figures go up. PAYING. Alarmists, inspired more by bad nerves than facts, have been predicting a collapse of the whole American credit structure ever since the installment plan came into general use. To them this collapse appears always just around the corner. ' But the treasury department at Washington, differing with the paunicky, reports the business and financial state of the nation as being most stable without a symptom of degeneration. -- With its hand on the financial pulse of the country this department fails to detect a weak or missing beat. x The wonder of literally reaching up and picking out of the air programs from New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Canada and Cuba at will on a very inexpensive radio set, and letting them go as easily to pick up still other cities, is the every--day experience of even the humblest home. Television? O, yes, of course. We will buy ourselves one next Christmas quite casually. It is said that a well known eastern radio station has bought a television outfit for broadcasting, and that receiving sets are al-- ready sufficiently perfected to be sold, and that they will be placed on the market as soon as quantity production is attained, which is expected to be in time for next Christmas. SATIATED WITH WONDERS > This age is so full of wonders that a new one causes hardly a ripple. The announcement of the General Electric company that it has produced a "television" radio set which enables people. to see as well as hear the performers is accepted quite casually. of simplicity, good sense and a real justice not warped out of rec-- ognition to conform to endless technical considerations which lost their force a century ago. Simplified indictments, suitable bail. public defenders, joint trials, simplified appeal procedure, a tight er rein on pardon boards, restrictions on insanity pleas and the dis-- regard of immaterial technicalities are typical reforms now widely advocated. Some twenty recommendations have been made by the Nation-- al Crime Commission. Some of the reforms advocated strike rathcdup,andyctthenknotonedth'm'&hdounotap pear to embody common sense rectified by long years of practical experience in criminal procedure. The tendency is along the lines There are many criminal lawyers in the United States who could prepare a learned and voluminous brief which might lead the average layman to suppose that adoption of any or all of these reforms would cause the heavens to fall and the b:?z;rks of Am-- erican liberties to crumble. For generations the public has been giving heed to the declarations of these legal pullbacks, and decade after decade they and their tribe have been permitted to thwart a national dsire for a vastly improved system of criminal procedure. Too many cooks spoil the broth and too many lawyers have rhd the law. Here, as elsewhere, the most dangerous enemy X any specialty is the specialist himself. , ATTACKING A PROBLEM _ It begins to look as though real progress is being made by the national movement to bring about more effective administra-- tion of justice in criminal cases. Lawyers and judges everywhere are awake to the situation and legislatures in many states have taken definite steps to bring about necessary and possible reforms. The National Crime Commission recommended some of these re-- forms. _ "No reduction," says Coolidge, "is better than too much re-- duction." There have been three tax cuts in six years, which Coolidge feels ought to satisfy most of the people. He feels that if there is a great surplus, it should go toward reducing the war debts instead of being turned back to the people. That policy, we feel, is good business. The debts have to be paid sogner or later, and the sooner the better. As long as Coolidge controls the finan-- cial policy of the country, the rest of us need not fear that things will go wrong. Any President who can save enough out of his salary to be comfortably situated for the rest of his life has shown that he knows the value of economy. ' CAL NO SPENDTHRIFT We heard the President of the United States, familiarly known as Cal Coolidge, speak about the purse strings of this big family of ours over the radio last Monday night. We became so inter-- ested in the speaker's New England twang that we forgot to fol-- low his mental gymnastics with the nation's financial figures, but Th the despatches that we received the next day from Washington, D. C., we learned that the President is going to see that the reck-- less representatives in the Capitol do not grow too generous. He realizes that the men in office are liable to do a lot of tax cutting in order to get votes, seeing as they do not have a chance to spend the money. «+.

JUST, Editor and Publisher Succeeding the Waukegan Garette Established 1850 ' HENDEE HISTORY 1 For the history of the Hendee family information is desired of the lHendee in Lake County, which orig-- inated in France. Those in America are descendants of Richard Hendee, who was born in France and driven from there to England when the Protestants were banished. The first Richard Hendee came to America in the seventeenth century and set-- tled near Boston. Some of his descendants went to Connecticut and settled in Windham or Ashford. Any infomtion' of . the . Lake County Hendees will be gratefully 'pl';pci.ttu!'by Lee W Hendee, who is the family genealogist and histo-- rian, and lives in Portland, Mich, A reunion of 140 members of the Hendee tamflf was held in Alton Park, Portland, Mich., last year and nextmr will be gathered in Pinck-- ney, h., on Labor Day. One of-- Mr. Edison's assistants had charge of the power plant on the first night. The inventor no-- ticed the lights growing dim and hurried. to investigate. He . was missed by others, among them Sam-- uel Insull, his secnetari.. They found Mr. Edison, eoat off, hat hung on a peg, shoveling coal while his assistant repaired a leaky steam pipe. f * _When the repairs were finished all rushed upstairs to see the opening of the geirofi}ianéé, Gilbert and Sul-- livan's light opera, lolanthe. 0 1882, at the opening of the Bijoun Theatre in Boston. The incandes-- cent electric light was then just emerging from the novelty stage into a commercial project. A con-- tract for lighting the theatre was awarded to Mr. Edison, who per-- sonally supervised. the installation of the power equipment and wiring. lllumination was provided: by 644 electric lamps. -- % This incident, recalled in The Edi-- son _ Hogxt)_n!y, occurred in December, Thomas A. Edison, attired in eve-- ning dress, shoveled coal for the generating plant of the first all-- electrically--lighted ~theatre in the United States on its qpening night, with Samuel Insull hurrying him to come upstairs in time for the first curtain.

A moment after it is wonder what became of a small trial bottle of _ from your drugg\v ist A moment after it is i More than 90 per cent of all cases of scarlet fever are among children under 10 years of age, the greatest danger to life being for very young children.
