CITIZENS OF WEST SIDE TO CONSIDER SCHQOLSITUATION Pupils Spend Two Hgurs Going to and From' Studies, it Is Said, Citizens in the vicinity of Public School No. 52, Walnut St. and King Ave., will hold a meeting at the school Friday night in the interests of the proposed west side high school. Under present conditions it takes many west side high school pupils almost two hours to make the round trip to school, it is said. The west side still is without a site for the proposed west side high school. Although action in the matter has been expected ait every meeting of the school board during the past month, the buildings and ground committee, of which Fred Bates Johnson is chairman, did not report at the meeting Tuesday night. A delegation of west side citizens headed by Heydon Buchanan, city councilman, appeared and asked that immediate action be taken. Carl Mote, representing the Aetna Trust and Savings Company, owners of 18 2-3 acres of land at W. Washington St. and Belmont Ave.. offered the entire tract to the board for $75,000. This was at the rate of $4,310 an acre. School board appraisers recently appraised a portion of the tract at $3,875 an acre. Site Is Favored This is the site favored for the school by a majority of West Side citizens. If an agreement cannot be reached as to the price condemnation proceedings probably will be instituted in the event the board decides on this location. Sale of an old building at school Xo. 42. Rader and Twenty-Fifth Sts., appraised at SSO, and the old building and grounds at No. 22, Talbott and Arizona Sts., appraised at $13,075, was authorized.

MAH JONGG, WAH? ALL SAMEE YESSEE Your Laundry Man May Play Popular Chinese Game, but ' You’ll Have Hard Time Finding It Out.

By RALPH L: BROOKS O Chinese folk around town play the favorite Amerlqant__J Oriental pastime—Mah Jongg? Americans would rather “chow” than chew. But the Orientals—“Wah Lee. do you play Mah Jongg?” “Huh?” Wah looked at me blankly. Then, “Oh, Mah Jongg”—but he didn't pronounce it that way—“sometimes. Why?’ He couldn't comprehend the Idea back of my question, and as I had no extra collar to leave at his laundry, 210 W. Maryland St., he dismissed me summarily, with his queer Astatic laugh. Encountered a Chinaman in E. Market St. “Beg pardon,” said I, “what about this Mah Jongg game? Do you Chinamen play it?” He Offers a Match He looked at me blandly. Seeing my cigar, he reached Into his pocket and handed nje a match. “Thanks.” lighting up, “but Mah Jongg. don’t you know anything about it?" He exploded; but it was all beyond me. He said his name was “Charley,” and gave no particular place of residence. Kung On Wo, importer of teas and spices. 119 N. Alabama St., wasn’t conversant, with the habits of his countrymen Mah Jonggly. He regarded me with suspicion, especially when I asked concerning a rumor about early days of Mah Jongg in Indianapolis. Rumor has it that local “coppers” used to raid Chinese laundries when a Mah Jongg game was in progress. The players were arrested on charges of gambling as a matter of principle. The only difficulty was that the police couldn’t teJl the judge what the prisoners were playing. It’s a Clouded Issue "Daddy play® mah jongg,” said Miss Rosa Kreglo Chin, at the E. Lung laundry, 239 N. Delaware St. “Whenever they can get enouMi together, they play. We girlfWlon’t play. I just watch them, iB it I know how to play. It’s very resting.” “ An Oriental at the Soon Lee laundry, 218 N. Delaware St., confirmed the rumor about the old-time police raids. Jim Lee, 232 Indiana Ave., tried to sell me a mah jongg set. Do Chinese folks around town play mah .jongg?

Perhaps, but still it would be hard to prove the game didn't originate in Gopher Prairie, U. S. A.
