RAPS LEVY ON , CHILDREN OF CITY SCHOOLS (Continued From Fare One.) employe to exercise his right of franchise and to rote as he may choose at the election next month. After a lengthy and Impassioned dissertation by Commissioner W. D. Allison on tobacco smoking, the effects that might fall upon the thousands of innocent school children through the habit of permitting , smoking at school board meetings, the ] expensiveness of the habit, and many | other dire results too numerous to men- <. tion, the board adopted his resolution j forbidding smoking at school board meetings, but not before Commissioners Clarence E-. Crtppln and Bert S. Gadd had poked considerable fun at the sp . or of the resolution. PAKRY OVER SMOKING ORDER. “In courtrooms you don't see Juries smoking," Mr. Allison declaimed. “No, they appease their appetite by chewing," Mr. Gadd interjected. “Thu habit is expensive,” Mr. Allison declared “It does not cost the school board anything,” Mr. Crippin replied. Throughout Mr Allison's oration Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler, the only woman on the board, looked on with an amused smile and seemed unconcerned as to what action the board took. Finally Mr Gadd said “Well if Mr. Allison objects to smoking 1 am sure none of us want to hurt his feelings in the matter so we will stop.” Thus the great tobacco crusade came to an end and a school board custom brought down from time immemorial was abruptly abolished. After the meeting one member said laughingly: “It was the first great victory of the Anti-Tobacco League in Indiana.” HALF HOLIDAY FOR FOCH CELEBRATION. In honor of the visit of the great I French soldier, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, to Indianapolis, Nov. 4, the schools will be closed in the afternoon. Superintendent Graff announced that during the big parade special places for school children will be reserved at Shortridge High School, School No. 2, Delaware and Walnut streets, the Herron Art Institute, and at St. Clair Park. Singing of patriotic songs by the children will be one of the features of (he celebration. Mr. Graff was granted a leave of absence to attend the meeting of the Northern Indiana Superintendent’s Club at Gary, next week. The matter of the appointment of Julia Landers to a position in the newly created department of visual education at a salary of $2,800 a year was brought up when Mr. Barry asked if she had resigned from all her political activities. Mr. Graff said he had received a letter from Miss Landers, saying that she had complied with the orders of the board in this respect. Mr. Barry, however, said that lie understood she had not resigned as member for Indiana of the Democratic national woman’s committee, and was making plans to attend a meeting of that body in St. Louis next month. SUNDAY PLAY ON ATHLETIC FIELD BARRED. Following the receipt of complaints from a number of residents in the neighborhood of "the Shortridge athletic field at Thirty-Fourth and Pennsylvania streets that the field was being used by outside organizations for Sunday football games an order was issued forbidding the us of the field by any but Shortridge students and all Sunday play was definitely prohibited. A communication stating that the condition of the school bond market had shown marked improvement recently was received from the R M. Grant & Cos. of I Chicago, 111. However, the action of the State board of tax commissioners In withholding approval of school bond Issues asked for by the board has made it impossible for the board to receive bids on bonds or proceed with the construction of needed school buildings. Bids were received for lighting fixtures j at Emmerich Manual Training High School and electrical work at the first unit of Arsenal Technical High School. The Hatfield Electric Company, with a bid of SI,BOO, was the lowest of four bids received on the work at Manual, while the lowest of five bids for work at Manual was submitted by the C. L. Smith Electric Company. The bid was $3,190. Those bids and bids for laboratory equipment at Arsenal Technical High school and lunchroom equipment at Eminerich Manual Training High school will be considered by the board at special meeting Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

ORDERS AD SIGNS I FROM HIGHWAYS State Highway Commission’s Plan Given Approval. Announcement that the State highway commission has ordered all advertising signs from the highways under their control, effective July 1, 1922, was very gratifying to M. E. Noblet, manager of the Hoosler State Anto Association, who with other officials of the motor r.ssoclatln long has advocated the elimination of all signs except those carrying warnings or giving road directions. “I believe in the power of printer's ink.” he declared. “Roadside signs are a record of dead-and-gone business i firms, Including some taat are not defunct, of course, but the stranger can't tell which is which. "The highway commission’s action should now be followed by similar tlon by every county board in the State In case of big signboards placed away back from the road, no action can well be taken, but signboards along the right of way and particularly the advertising signs at cross r ,ds which don't give the motorist any direction information certainly should be barred. The live advertiser can best get his message across in the columns of his local paper, anyway.” Under the highway commission plan direction markers and warning signs such as the Hoosler AYto Association is continually erecting to safeguard motorists, will still be permitted.

New York Center of Illicit Booze Trade Despite Many Dry Enforcement Raids

BY PAUL R. MALI.ON. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—New York is probably the world's greatest illicit booze clearing house. Despite frequent raids by prohibition officials, bootleggers are using New York as a central distributing point for liquor. Some of the booze is smuggled in and some is manufactured here. lOtleggers are believed to havo tbetr agents In foreign countries who superiiite and the shipping of consignments of fine whiskies, gins, rums and brandies which later are sold in New York or sent to other cities HAVE ROUTES SAME AS MILKMEN. Synthetic gin is also on the market in large quantities. Until recently gin and, In fact, anything but rye or bourbon whisky was almost unobtainable here. / \ Booze Quotations in New York Market NEW YORK. Oct. 26—Price quotations on liquor in the New York booze market today included; Scotch whisky, sl2 per quart. Rye whisky, $0 to $lO per quart. Gin, $0 to $7 per quart. Baycartll rum, $5 per quart. Cognac and brandy, $8 per quart. Sherry wine, $2 per quart. Beer (3 and 4 per cent), 50 cents to $1 per bottle. Individual drinks w'ere being sold from 50 cents to $1.50.

Now the bootleggers who have regular routes like milkmen or grocery clerks, will take your order for gin, Scotch whisky, cognac, benedictine, Jamaica rum or almost any kind of booze you may name—and deliver it promptly. Bootlegging salesmen Include restaurant owners, taxicab drivers, housemaid*, physicians, grocers, drug store proprietors, bell boys, college students and janitors. One of the investigators was Informed by the owner of a small lingerie shop in a residence neighborhood that he would take orders for rye or bourbon whisky and he offered to give free samples “so you can see It's good stuff; Just step behind the counter.” COMPETITION LOWERS PRICES. Prie3 are lower than in many months because of keen competition between bootleggers and also because there is much more liquor in the market. Four chief methods of dispensing booze were found: 1. The “smile doctor." A customer goes

, into his office with a smile and says, i "I’m sick.” The doctor furnishes a prescription for a pint. He usually ha his office in a drug store. He charges $2 for the prescription and the druggist charges $3 for the liquor, j 2. The "key” club. A club of about I 300 members Is formed by the bootlegger i who rents an office In a downtown build- ; ing near where his club members work. | He glve.s each club member a key to the ! office where the liquor Is served by a bar- ; tender. Tbere are no duos or Initiation | fees. Tho liquor coasts 50c a drink. J 3. The "baby bottle plan. ’ Restaurant ! owners, who found It risky serving boozs j themselves, have hired bootleg waiters j who carry small vials. The vlai contains i one drink. If the waiter is caught he Is arraigned and fined but the name of the restaurant is unsmlrched. The cheapj eat drink is sl. j 4. The “tearcom.” This is the renovated saloon. An apartment is rented and drinks aro served in it to person, In the apartment house and neighborhood. Taxl--1 cab drivers In the district work in con- j | Junction with the "tearoom" proprietor | to furnish small bottles for bis passengers ! at twice their value. When told of the conditions B. C. Yel- | lowley, temporary supervisor of prohibition for this dls' riot, declared ho thought : the facts were exaggerated, iSAYS HONEST AGENTS I COULD DRY UP COUNTRY. | “I believe there la less liquor in New i York than sixty days ago," Yellowley ! said. ! “I know there are yet many places where booze can bo obtained aud of | course we cannot hope to stamp them all i out. I do not doubt that you know cf ! many places where bootleggers are oper- | atlng but in sixty days more we will ! ; have cut down some of them “We cannot enforce the prohibition law without honest agents. Give us honest agents and we will dry up the country , within a short time." Two Dead as Result Auto Occident Special to The Times. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct 21—Harry Darrell, 32, and James OTersboter, 45, are dead today as a result of the overturning of the automobile in which they wore riding near here.
