GAS CONSUMERS GET LITTLE HOPE OF CIJTIN BILLS City Engineer Sees No Gain if Quality Is Lowered With Rates. lower gas rate—fewer B. T. U.'s requires—same old gas bills. This probably would be the net result of the proposer agreement between the city and the Citizens Gas Conjpany, Frank Lingenfelter, city engineer, said today. At an informal conference last week Mayor Shank asked Clarence L. Kirk, secretry and general manager of the gas company, whether rates could be reduced to sl. Kirk said they might if the city requirements for gas of 600 British thermal units be reduced to 475. Kirk is preparing figures for the mayor. "I doubt whether this arrangement would result in any saving to the public,” Lngenfelter said. “It might even result in more expensive gas. “Under the rates which go into effect July 1 the rate will be sl.lO where bills are paid promptly. A $1 rate would be only a 10 cent reduction. Cutting the B. T. U. standard to 475 would mean that more gas must be used to obtain the Bams amount of heat.” Although gas of 600 B. T. U. is required by the contract between the city and company, records at city hall show that gas for the past year has averaged 574 B. T. U. Lingenfelter said no objection has been offered by the city unless the gas fell below 570 B T. U.

FRATERNALISM is AT CROSS ROADS Speaker Says Taxation Threatens Societies. By Times Special MONTREAL, June 27—Fraternalism is at the cross-roads, according to W. R. Shirley, president of the National Fraternal Congress of America with 10,000,000 members, in an address here before the convention of the Canadian Fraternal Association. Shirley pointed out that recent readjustments of fraternal beneficiary societies on a sound actuarial basis through rerating had meant a loss of membership and, in some cases. Insurgency. Rerating, he said, was necessary to insure absolute solvency. ‘‘Many societies,” he said, ‘‘discovered that the structure they had builded was not on a sound founda tion and ultimately fail.” Shirley called attention to taxation as “an imminent danger threatening fraternal beneficiary societies.” A law taxing fraternals already has been put into effect in Tennessee. Other States, he said, are threaten ing similar legislation.

Patrolman James Rogers of the East Fifty-First St. station noticed boys peering into the subway grating between Forty-Sixth and Forty-Sev-enth Sts., on Lexington Ave. They were watching a black cat which was lying on the pan suspended under the grating. After trying varipus means of freeing the cat, Rogers told the station agent at Fifty-First St., who notified the main office. Two employes were sent with a ladder, which they carried along the tracks to the place where the cat was marooned. They braced it against steel supports and got the cat. It was so emaciated from its imprisonment that it could not walk at first, but after being fed by a witness of the rescue, it walked contentedly away.

THE INDIAN APOLIb TIMES

PARENT-TEACHERS TOLD SCHOOL 1 PLACEJR SEX Lessons Should Be Given in Home Alone, Says Mrs. Leiber. By Times Special WINONA LAKE, Ind., June 27. Opposition to sex lessons in public schools was voiced today by Mrs. Richard of Indianapolis speaking at the closing sessions of the Indiana Parent-Teacher Association. in conference here. “Sex education,” she said, “should be given in the home instead of the school. Children are too diffex-entia-tive for mass treatment. There are two equally dominant urges in our natures —a hunger for food and a hunger for sex. We do not permit our children to prepare their own meals or even select food most pleasing to them, yet we permit them to pick up sordid information which may lead to a broken and wasted life.” A plea for enforcement of tlje law fox-bidding sale of objectionable literature was voiced by E. M. Campfield of Richmond. He said a law should be passed giving the Governor power to remove from office any officer who refuses to enforce the State laws. The sessions will close with a conference banquet tonight with Mrs. Isaac Lea Hillis, vice president of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association, of Des Moines, as honor guest.

AUNT SARAH PEABODY at the Convention

By AUNT SARAH PEABODY ~--j EW YORK CITY, June 27.—1n my rush at the corftention hall \ yesterday I neglected to mention my plank about not holding the Democratic convention in any city wheye another convention was in progress. So I wrote it out and sent it special delivery to the plank committee. i In mingling with other delegates in the convention hall this morning I realized how big this country of ours really is. 'Course I recognized badges from ivfinnesota, Alabama. Montana and a lot of other States, but I was dumbfounded at the number from Usher. I never heard of the place. They must be important delegates, though. They’re, terribly restless and they seem to take a great interest in delegates from other States. And they are the most polite delegates in the hall. I feel sorry for visitors who come to the convention and don’t know anything about politics. One lady who was sitting in the visitors’ 'section asked me about McAdoo. I told her he was from New Yoi k, Washington and California, and that 1 thought he came to the convention to get the moving picture rights. Then, to make her feel more at home, I explained that A1 Smith was the famous cough drop man; that Mr. Ralsto ninvented breakfast food and that the Ferris fellow used to run a big wheel at the world's fair. When she inquired about Newt Baker, I admitted that the only Newt I knew of lives in “The Old Home Town." “And I’m pretty sure he’s still there,” says I. “for I heard one of the. boys shout ‘Hold 'er, Newt, she's arearin,' " just as my train pulled out of the depot.” And, anyway. I can't imagine that Newt would run for President. The noise in the convention hall is so deafening we couldn’t talk any longer. I wish Marshal Otey Walker was here. He’d put a stop to it. This lady visitor must have appreciated what I told her, for she invited me out to tea That’s where I'm going now. And I can't see any sense in coming back to the convention hall till tomorrow. Maybe by that time an of the delegates will have found their own seats.

CITY TELLS WHY UNTYCANSELL LOWRATEBONDS Money Easier, Say Officials, When Eleven Bid for Issue. Loosening of the money market was reflected today in bids upon SBOO,OOO worth of 4% Per cent six-teen-year serial refunding bonds, received by County Auditor Harry Dunn. The Fletcher Savings and Trust Company was awarded the issue upori a premium bid of $20,611.77. The bonds will refund SBOO,OOO worth of , county bridge bonds of 1904. Among the bridges built by the original issue of $850,000 was the Emrichsville over White River. County has retired only $50,000 of the issue. Dunn said he believed the fact that eleven firms bid upon the issue bearing 4% per cent interest demonstrated the city has been putting too high an interest rate on recent bond issues. A park issue of $90,000 was sold at 5 per cent and a health issue of $280,000 at 4% per cent. City controller’s office replied that the city tried for months to sell bonds at lower rates, but could not get bidders. Since the recent city Issues were sold the money market has changed so that the lower rate bonds are in demand, city officials said.
