SEWER TROUBLES DUE TO LACK OF PROPERCLEANIIG Old Method of Flushing Small Sewers Is Condemned by Commissioner Hyland. LARGE MAINS CLOGGED UP Work of Clearing Out Lines Will Cost $25,000 During Next Year. By VO LX BY B. FOWLER Much of the trouble Indianapolis is experiencing with the sewer system; might have been eliminated if catch , basins had been properly cleaned, ac- j i-ording to Martin J. Hyland, street commissioner. Early in Janjiary the sewer depart-1 ment got from sixty to seventy-five complaints every day it rained. This has been cut to less than a dozen ihrough a sewer cleaning campaign. ( but a tremendous amount remains, to be done, Hyland said. Catch basins are supposed to prevent leaves, grass and other refuse from washing into sewers from high ways. Unless regularly cleaned .the j refuse clogs up the pipes in a short I time. Hyland said the system used in : the past several years was to flush the basins. This washed the refuse j end sediment through the smaller drains into the larger lines, where the material sank to the bottom and remained. The best method is to remove the refuse from the basins be-' fore it gets into the pipes. Hyland contended. Asa result of this constant draining of sediment into the larger lines ome will be almost entirely choked up in a few years. Many are half full now. Indicative of the general condition Hyland pointed to a line in S. Dela ware St., out of which 165 wagoij loads of dirt was dug this summer. From the Missouri St. sewer between Tenth and Sitxeenth Sts., 200 loads were taken, while in the TxT'j-foot pipe in South St., between Senate Ave. and Illinois St., sediment was four feet deep. The sewer department also has had much extra work replacing broken inlets at street intersections. There are thousands of inlets in the city, the majority put in before the days of heavy motor trucks. The two and ihree-ton vehicles bang into the light iron devices and break them at the iate of one or two a day. Hylan said. Contractors now are required by the city engineering department to install a heavier type of inlet on new street work and the sewer depart- ; ment is replacing the broken ones j with the sturdier design. The sewer department has an ap- j nropriation of $25,000 available for j sewer cleaning alone next year and j the situation will be materially rente j died, Hyland promised. This is the last of a series of articles on the Indianapolis sewage sys lent. HONEYMOON IS ENDED Liquor, Revolver and Police Figure in Cleveland Case. Hjj United Xei c* KANSAS CITT. Mo., Oct. 6. Liquor and revolver shots brought an end to the wild honeymoon celebration of Mrs. Marie Cleveland and her husband of four days and landed them in the North Side Municipal Court Thursday. Police testified they found Mrs. Cleveland unconscious on the floor of a taxicab and her husband waving and shooting toward the moon. Both claimed tearfully that a $25 fine would hamper their start of "housekeeping, and wouldn't the judge forgive them this once?" The judge was sympathetic and cancelled the fines.

How Tom Sims Got That Way , Explained by Humorist Himself By JOSEPHINE \AN DE GRIFT. ••if puns are mixed with the news

Every once m a wnile an idea will start jogging along, headed for no place in particular, and after awhile, if he gets sort of careless-like, it'll have a collision with another idea. The iesult is what is sometimes known as a wise crack, according to Tom Sims, whose column. “Tom Sims Says.” has regaled readers of several hundred newspapers for the past year. “By sheer accident,” he says, “I may learn that skirts are longer. Then I see in the paper that coal ..s getting shorter. How strange. Watson, give me the typwriter. And hitting

TOM SIMS. on all two fingers I hammer out. 'This winter's schedule t:al!s for longer skirts and shorter coal. The women have more sense than we thought.' “One pay day while cussing because I had to work late, I hit on 'AH work and no plßy makes Jack.' This proved to be one of my most quoted lines. Profits From Cop “Another time I profited from a balling out by an extra grouchy traffic cop. It was, ’A grouch is a man who thinks the world is against him—ami he's right.’ "Back in the subconscious sits the memory of a dog scratching a flea. A newly married friend whispers that he'd like to borrow a dollar until the ghost walks. The result is, ‘Nowadays the only two who can live as cheaply as one are a flea and a dog.' "I believe the Inside workings of my Job could he divided Into three parts. Tn the first part you gather up all the news and Incidents of the day. In the second you place all the familiar quotations and puns. In the third you have everything you can possibly learn about human nature. Puns are Mixed "Then you stir them up. If the news of the day rises to the top you get such lines as, ‘Chicago bandit attacked two policemen but both escaped.’
