OPEN WINTER PUTS STREETS IN BAD SHAPE Freezing and Thawing Leave w Commissioner Big Task This Year. WORK TO BEGIN SOON Streets of Indianapolis have suffered tremendous damage this winter from freezing and thawing in the frequent fluctuations of temperature, A. O. Meloy, street commissioner, declared today. Mr. Meloy Is laying plans and getting his equipment in shape to put repair gangs at work on both improved and un improved streets as soon as it appears there will be no more freezes. A larger force of men and more equipment than ever before will be used in repairing strets this summer. Mr. Meloy said. Particular attention is to be paid as early as possible to unimproved streets, be said. These streets, being covered with gravel or stone, have suffered most from the open winter. A winter such as Indiana is experiencing this year, with frequent rains in/Mead of snows, causes the repair men on end of worry. Bain not only softens the gravel and macadam pavements, but collects In small holes in concrete and asphalt and reduces the resistance to wear so much that every automobile tire which passes through the holes forces or sucks out more material. The street commissioner had five gang3 at work on unimproved streets last summer. The size of this force was so far under the requirements that It was late In the season before all the gravel and stone streets were repaired, Mr. Meloy said. It was useless to put on more men because of the lack of equipment. The board of works Is now advertising for two sets of equipment which will be manned by additional gangs this stfmmer. Each new set will consist of a tractor, a grader and scarifier and a three-way road drag. The commissioner 6aid he hopes to get the unimproved streets In shape long before the end of this summer so the workiug force can be reduced earlier than usual. The usual difficulty of repairing the unimproved streets in Brightwood faces the street department, Mr. Meloy said. Brightwood has presented a peculiar problem for a long time. For several years the street department did not have sufficient money and equipment to give the highways In this section even half the attention to which tho property owners were entitled. What work the department did do did not count for much, the commissioner said, because the thick top soil of clay seemed to swallow up all the gravel that was put on. Last year more gravel was put In Brightwood than ever before and this year it is planned to put on still more, but the only real relief from street worries for this section is improved streets, the commissioner said. It ts understood that some residents of Bright wood are planning to present petitions for paved streets. BvThe Indianapolis Street Railway Com Ipany has been giving The city cinders [by the carload and delivering them to Brightwood. These are being put on the streets there at the present time, Mr. Meloy said. TO HONOR ALL A. E. F. GRAVES Allies to Help Legion on Memorial Day. The grave of every American soldier in' European soil will be decorated Memorial day, Francis E. Drake, commander of the American Legion In France, an- j couneed as he sailed for Europe after a four months’ sojourn In the United States. Owing to the internationalization of the American Memorial day as a trib ute to Americans fallen by the recently formed International Council of Veterans' Associations, which embraces men of all allied nations, the ceremonies will be much more extensive than those of last year. President Mlllerand and Marshal will represent France and other B|ied nations will cooperate. Among the Hnerican representatives Mr. Drake mopes to have as speakers several prom- j Inent Legionnaires and men In public I life. Marshal Foch Is desirous of greeting the legion, Mr. Drake said, and will be at the national convention In Kansas City in November if the political sltua- | tion In Europe permits.

No tfumKyou- ) I always use V J Resinol "I never fall to look for the blue box with jar inside, and nothing etet w. 1 do as I am convinced that Rosinoi Ointment cannot be excelled for eczema, rashes, and similar irritations.” This is the attitude of hundreds of people who know that Resinol’s gentle medication rarely fails to stop itching and burning at once and restore skin health. All druggists sell it in twe sizes—never In bulk. Hastens the healing. RHEUMATISM LEAVES YOU FOREVER Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison Starts to Leave the Syatem Within Twenty-four Hours. Every druggist In this county is authorized to say to everv rheumatic sufferer that if two bottles of Allenrhii. the sure conqueror of rheumatism, does not stop all agony reduce swollen Joints and do away with even the slightest twinge of rheumatic pain, he will gladly return your money without comment. Alienrhn has been tried and tested for years, and really marvelous results have been accomplished In the most severe cases where the suffering and agony was intense and piteous and where the patient was helpless. Mr. James H. Allen, the discoverer of AUenrhu, who for many years suffered the torments of acute rheumatism, aeall sufferers to know that he does net want a cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisively conquers this worst of all diseases, and he has Instructed the Haag Drug Company to guarantee it in every instance.—Advertisement
