UN PROPOSES ‘PUNCHING CLOCK’ AT PUBLIC DANCE New Ordinance May Require Registration of All Attending. Punching the time clock and signing the register at public dance halls may become the vogue in Indianapolis if the present dance hall ordinance is re-vamped, according to suggestions made Friday afternoon in Juvenile Court at a meeting of the committee detailed to the problem. Actual drafting of the new ordinance, intended to abolish some of the present evils of the public dance hall, will be left to Juvenile Judge Frank J. Lahr, Earl R. Conder, executive secretary of the Church Federation; James M. Ogden, city attornew, and E. O. Snethen. president of the Federation of Civic Qubs. Others attending the conference were Miss Clara Burnside of juvenile court; Mi's. Willard Gray, W. C. T. U. superintendent of law enforcement; the Rev. C. H. Winders, president of the Church Federation; Mrs. T. W. Pemmerlv of the Local Council of Women; Roy Woodbury of the Family Welfare Society; Alan V. Pleve of the Jewish Federation, and Mrs. Jujia Reed of the Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs. Mrs. Demnierly suggested every’ one attending a public dance be required to register his or her name, following the custom of hotels, and when he leaves mark down the time. This might prevent married persons and "boys from the north side out for a good time” from frequenting dance halls, the committee thought. It was proposed the age limit be set at 21. but the majority deemed 18 for both sexes more feasible. It was pointed out that the ordi nance should include regulation of all dances outside of private homes, which would include high school hops and fraternity and other formal dances given in hotels. If the age limit is set at 18. It was pointed out, high school students and college freshmen may have to forego their organization dances. Substitut’on of the name of hostess for “matron." and raising the latter’s pay from $2 to $5 a dance, were discussed, as was raising the dance permit fee.

of morphine daily, eighty times a normal dose, and is paying $1 a grain and up. It is estimated that more than ninetenths of all murders, hold-ups and during robberies are now committed by addicts. It is especially the addict of heroin who is capable of cruel and daring crimes. Sheriff William Traeger of Doe Angeles County, California, declares that 90 per cent of the crime committed in that county is traceable to users of narcotios. The warden of the Califor nia State penltnetlary at San Quentin says 90 per cent of the inmates of that institution have been users of narcotics. At the Federal Institutions the percentage is also high. At Atlanta prison 20 per cent of all criminals sent there last year were addicts; at Leavenworth during the same period, 24 per cent sent to that institution were addicts. During the last half of 1922, 49 per cent of all prisoners sent to Leavenworth were violator* of the Harrison antl-narcotlos act. Amertca is the special objective of organized drug exploitation.

STEM NERVE IS NEEDED FOR SHOT IN MARBLE TILTS Hoots of Crowd Can Get a Champion Off His Style in Quick Time, By lIARLIN M’COY First National Marble Champion Nerve plays a big part in marble shooting, especially when there is a championship at stake. A fellow has to keep his nerve or he will "blow" a lot of shots when he is playing before a strange crowd. In tournament games, the people who watch the games nearly always do a lot of rooting. It is best not to pay any attention to the crowd or to what the people around the ring are saying. A player who pays attention to the rooters will very likely get rattled and lose his nerve Just like a baseball player do ;s when he listens to the crowd that Is yelling at him. Lots of times a player who keeps his mind on the game ana takes plenty of time for each shot can beat a fellow who Is a better shooter, but who gets nervous and shoots In a hurry when the game gets tight. It takes a steady eye to make a good player, but It takes a lot of enrve, too. Jarvis Praises Contest "The Indianapolis Times marble tournament Is one of the finest things for our boys and girls that we have had In Indianapolis for a great n any years.” said It. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks and recreation, today. “I want all the boys and girls to know that the board of park commissioners, the people who make possible the free playgrounds at parks and schpol grounds. Is behind The Times marble tournament,” said Jarvis. “The thing I like about It Is that, win or lose, it helps make good sportsmen out of our boys and girls. I hope they play for the game’s sake. "Another thing I like about the tournament is that It reaches boys and girls of all walks of life. I am mighty glad that boys and girls all over Indianapolis are practicing every day for the tournament. And anything that we can do to help in the tournament we will be very glad to do.” Mail in Coupon Any boy o - girl under 15 years of age Is eligible to enter The Indianapolis Times marble contest.
