MEET /'■'xif’HOOL will bo out again Friday. With the THESE closing come two problems for the grownups PROBELMS! Oto meet. One of them has to do with providing something to occupy the children during the summer and the other has to do with making provisions for adequate school facilities next winter. Indianapolis is rapidly developing park and playground facilities. This is commendable. There can hardly be too many playgrounds and too many of these can not be equipped with swimming pools. Every year a number of children drown in old-fashioned Rwimmin" holes where they didn’t know the water was deep. Let’s have more protected swimming pools. Then let’s keep the small boys and others away from streams where there is no protection. The second problem, that of adequate school facilities, is moving slowly toward a partial solution. The city school board has a definite building program and this is being worked out through all the meandering channels provided by law. It is hoped school buildings will be erected in Indianapolis before very long. The use of portable, poorly heated and poorly ventilated frame school buildings is nothing short of criminal. They are a blot on the reputation of the city. Their abolishment is a problem that should be worked out during the summer. Nothing should be put in the way of sane, economical building program, not even politics or personal prejudice. WOMAN 'Ir'VT'ITY don’t the women’s organizations run a BOSS AT \/\/ woman for President of these Lnited CAPITOL V V States? Leo R. Hpaly asks this question in a letter to the New York Times. * The same idea has occurred to all of us at some time or other, probably, ft certainly has given many a cartoonist and .joke writer a “hunch” on a dull day. But, after ail. why not? The average woman makes a bigger success of her home than; her husband makes of his business. Men are forever getting fired from their jobs or failing in bus-.ness and have to start all over. For getting results and keeping up to schedule, a Mrs. Presi-1 dent would have an inherited or intuitive natural instinct. It’s a rare man in the White House who doesn’t lag. Another excellent quality, universal among our women, is the feminine insistence on a periodical housecleaning. A woman can be flat on her hack and with one foot in the grave, but never too low to worry because houseeleaning is delayed. Wouldn't it be a choice thing to have someone in the White House with this moral and nervous houseeleaning spirit! The “works" in Washington needs a frequent “hoeing out." When it comes to a woman’s ability to handle the presiden trial job, it’s a eertanitv that plenty of women could be found j who’d be efficient at it. She'd at least have sensp enough to seek competent advisers—and adopt their recommendations. That's the system for any president, male or female, the same as for any boss. As we size up the situation on a hot day. the chief handicap to running a woman for President is that the men-vnters. who swing the balance of power, might display their customary intelligence and elect a bathing beauty or a movie vamp. P. S. Catherine did a mighty good .tob of ruling Russia So did Victoria in England. Not to mention Wilhelmina in Hoi land. Cleopatra in Egypt and the hundreds of women who ruled as the powprs behind the throne all through history.

National Symposium Reveals Dry Law Modification Trend

By SEA Service

WASHINGTON, June 14. —As a presidential campaign nears, national leaders are slowly being beaten down in their panic-stricken efforts to keep prohibition outside the pale of polities. Throughout the nation wets are strengthening their positions. And judging solely from a symposium undertaken by NEA Service for The Indianapolis Times tney are, in widely scattered places, carrying public opinion with them. This, however, is not disturbing the even tenor of the drv camps. Sub-surface rumblings broke into the open when Governor A1 Smith of New York signed the bill repealing the State enforcement act. Wisconsin immediately oiled its repealing machinery and the lower house of the General Assembly has passed a measure similar to that enacted in New York, which now awaits Senate action. An Illinois legislator, recalling that a referendum of the people In his State carried wet by 512.000 last year, has introduced a repealer. Sentiment in New Orleans received a jolt when Governor John M. Parker congratulated Governor Smith for having “backbone.” Membership in the Association Against the Prohihtion Amendment has more than doubled in San Francisco and other coast cities. The wets have unified their ranks. They want two things: Beer and wine. No whisky. They realize, and hope, that booze is deader than last year's styles. Before prohibition the Bahamas practically were bankrupt. Soon they would have f>een completely under dominance of the mother

A New Cult To the Editor of The Times Are you a Talosopher? What’s that, you don't know anything about talosophy ? Now that is most unfortunate! Listen: Talosophy l is anew cult which can be distributed by any human being to his or her advantage in most Instances. Talosophy, in short, is exercise of the art of appreciation. Get the idea! How is it best applied and worked? Well, for instance, when you meet with courtesy in shop, factory, train, street car. policeman, city hall or county building, clerk, telephone operator or ary public servant, you simply express your thanks, and report the incident to the superior officer or employer of the courteous person, just as you have been accustomed to make complaint about discourtesies.

NEW YORK, June 14. Not much investigation is required to find evidence of the “open door” in New York since Governor Smith signed the dry law repealer. Liquor—good, bad and indifferent —always was easy to obtain here. Now it is even easier. But the biggest single effect of the repealer la the vast increase in the available supply of beer. MIAMI. FLA.—The Bahamas realize that repeal of the national prohibition act would seriously affect their liquor trade with the United States, a man. high in shipping circles. says. “They are not worrying about such a contingency, just now. It seems to he the consensus of opinion among them that if the United States does go wet again it will not do so for at least four years. EVANSTON, ILL.. June 14.—The Nation resents the attempted nullification of the Eighteenth Amendment in New* York, Anna A. Gordon, national president of the W. C, T. U., declared at the organization’s headquarters here. “Women throughout the country will resist any attempt to repeal the Volstead act,” she says. “And most of the men are standing with them.” Meanwhile this city neither officially nor unofficially, sees In the New York action any likelihood of a general reversal of prohibition law nr sentiment. It is considered primarily a political play, the result of which is apt to complicate the 1924 presidential campaign. It will put Smith forward as a favorite son of Democratic wets, but it alienates from him as a possible candidate the great southern dry Democratlo vote.

Grist O’Gotham Written by a Man Who Views New York from the Outside.

NEW YORK. June 14 —You are familiar, of course, with Long Beach, Brighton Beach. Coney Island beach and others- Are you ac- | qualnted with Tin Beach? Tin Beach is the most popular resort in New York. It attracts thousands of people. It Is the cheapest land the easiest to get to. A rich tan shade is decidedly the proper thing in complexions these summer days. Many acquire it by salt water bathing, but there are i thousands who must put in long days ! W* .lU U & j iin offices and factories who would i have to go about unfashior.ably | bleached if it were not for the popui larity of Tin Beac£. Sunday mornings the crowd is thickest. Go up on the roof of most any building in town and you will see the population out on the roofs—reading, napping, sewing or idling, i They’re after that fashionable local color. I That's Tin Beach—the roofs And ! often there's more of a crowd than the seaside resorts have. No Personal Contact Mighty little community life exists in the Big Town. There are few points of personal contact- Here's an example: Every now and then passersby see several small signs tacked to trees near the Prospect Park plaza subway kiosk in Brooklyn. The signs advertise articles lost and found, giving addresses of people living in the vicinity. They figure the city is so big that they have more chance of reaching the neighborhood by this kind of advertising than if they depended on the big daily newspapers. Band Concerts Popular Statisticians say New York is made up of people from small towns all over the world. Perhaps that’s why public band concerts —ancient Institution of the small town—are popular It's the open season now for band concerts in the new city bandstand on the mail in Central Park. Edwin Franko Goldman's orchestra used to give concerts on the Columbia University campus, but crowds became so large a bigger spot was necessary.
