Fountain Square Citizens Recall Days Gone By as Old Fount Makes Way for Modern Structure

South Side Meeting Place Held Dear in Hearts of Inhabitants,

! LR TIMERS of Fountain jfA Square are watching with I reminiscent eyes the erection of a third fountain at the intersection of Prospect and Shelby Sts. and Virginia Ave. But, however elaborate the new one may be. it cannot hope to rival the fountains of memory in the minds of old inhabitants of the vicinity who recall days long-gone —days when the only semblance of a fountain was a frog pond. The new structure is the third fountain to mark the place where south siders gather. The first one, shown in the picture, was standing as fax back as '73, according to “Uncle Charley" Baase, 941 Prospect St., who says he doesn’t know how long it had been there then. The first fountain was looked upon as a work of art. A statue of a woman holding aloft a torch surmounted a cast iron base which hold two basins, where one could water thirsty horses which had drawn “jolt" wagons for miles over dusty roads. Advent of the Automobile One day a team of horses, frightened, it is said, at one of the first “horseless carriages,” ran away. The wagon struck the fountain and the statute of the beautiful woman crashed to the ground. Another fountain of more simple lines was erected, after the first, without the upper part, had stood for many years. The second one had only one large basin. The huge stone bowl of the second one is being preserved in the

Popular Fad Originated by One of Ogilvie Sisters Solves Question Concerning Use of Shorn Locks

Makes Wigs for Rakish French Dolls and Pillows to Keep Tresses, , By HOP.TENSE SAUNDERS .YEA Sen-ice Writer |i:\V YORK, Oct. 28. — After you have plucked your courage to the point of facing the executioner and being bobbed, the next issue that confronts you is what disposition should be made of what you have just revered. There is something appealing and wistful about a handful of newly mown hair. Only a calloused womafi with little vanity can leave it scattered on the barbershop floor, particularly if it happened to be a lovely shade of red gold or curled of its own accord. A practical woman, of course, has it wrapped up as she would a shirtwaist or a sausage and parks it in the attic looking forward to the day when switches and puffs may be fashion’s whim. Evolves New Plan An even more practical woman sells it outright for whatever it will bring. Claire Ogilvie gave a little serious cerebration to the matter and evolved a plan for using this commodity which combines sentiment and sense in equal proportions. •She had the severed hair made into doll wigs which are grafted in turn on the heads of expensive French dolls that are now the rage. And she thus started a fad that is catching on splendidly. The idea has many possibilities. Such a doll would be a most appropriate gift to the husband or suitor who objected so violently to the shearing. Nice Personal (lift Or it makes a very personal gift to the dear friend who accompanied you to the block the day you had such need of moral support. Miss Ogilvie also originated the Idea of burying the treasure beneath a heart-shaped patch on a sofa cushion. “I had to solve the matter of what to do with hair, because 1 was constantly confronted with it,” Miss Ogilvie says. She Is one of the firm of Ogilvie sisters who treat the hair and scalp. “Virtually all of our patrons asked my advice in the matter. It was a question that never troubled me though, because I never bobbed my hair.” CURE FOR WIFE-BEATER Husbands Will Be Sentenced to Wear Placards on Backs. By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 28. Husbands who consistently forget to pull their punches during arguments with their wives are going to be sorry they didn’t, if Municipal Judge Harry S. Roberts carries out a plan he announced today. Wife beaters in the future will be escorted to one of the main corners in the downtown section, and will stand there for two hours with a glaring placard about their necks, with this inscription on it: “Ts these inen are not too proud to heat a woman they shouldn’t object to letting their friends know they do it,” Judge Roberts said in announcing his “cure.” Etfl Is Savior HULL, England, Oct. 28.—The liner Palmella docked here with her hold half full of water.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OLD FOUNTAIN AT FOUNTAIN SQUARE

third fountain, which is being built now. Around the “square” were benches, on which men and women rested in the early days. None of the old benches remains, but there are new ones. One of the benches is now in front of what was Andy Scliieketanz’s saloon. Men like “Uncle Charley” recall the stirring Saturday nights when there was always a crowd on the corner, some in Andy’s place, some in the Old Klondyke bar, operated by Dick Monce, and some in Bill Mohs’ place. Fights Were Frequent There were fights frequently in those days, jpahe Conners Bain fracas was one of these, and one of the combatants didn't live to recall It, according to Uncle Charley. A few of the “old boys” can recall when the turn table for mule-drawn city street cars was at the “square.” The streets were not paven then. The cars ran on wooden rails strapped with iron.

Beauty and Health

By MARIAN HARE UyjjHIRK exercise in the open air JYv I is more pleasant tint less I J arduous ttian exercise done in a gymnasium, it Is possible to get more immediate results through specific exercises than is possible through games or contests such as golf or tennis. As an all-round beautlfier, dancing should be placed at the head of the list. Not ball room dancing, but the esthetic or elassicad dancing in which each person performs alone and expresses rhythm through bodily motion. The muscles of the arms, legs and body are not only strengthened by dancing, but they are developed esthetically. One of the best exercises for keeping the waist slender Is the old one of standing upright with the feet wide apart, and reaching the floor with the fingertips without bending the knees. Then change the position slightly, pointing one foot to the left and swing the arms over to the left instead of directly in front, making Oh, Mother! What Can I Do? Mother has made you a little slip-over apron from unbleached muslin. Draw all the pictures you like on it with your crayons. When it is dirty I’ll boil these pictures out and after it is ironed you can make some more (Copyright, 1924, Barbara W. Bour- i jsdllyj 1

When they reached the “square,” the end of the line, the cars were pulled onto a turn table, the mules driven around a circle and the car was ready for the trip into town. The business and residence section to the south-west of the fountain was then Stilzes’ woods. To the east were corn fields and meadows. As the city expanded southward the streets were paved with cobblestones. In 1885 fire station No. 3 was erected. The old bell in the belfry still stands, but it never rings. The old hand-pumper has been replaced with modern fire-fighting apparatus. Modern business houses have replaced the old one-story structures. In the picture is shown the Fountain block, erected in 1902. Asphalt streets replaced cobblestones and electric cars now run miles beyond the old fountain. Although appearances have changed and anew fountain Is being built, the old scenes, the old friends and the old fountain remain in the memories of the people of Fountain Square.

more of a twist at the waistline. Then try this same exercise pointing to the light. To reduce the muscles of the calf, if desirable, try jumping up and down many times in rapid succession on the ball of your foot. Or stand on your toes and raise yourself and balance while you count ten. Walking on tiptoes strengthens the foot. So does walking about, taking a kick with each step. To make the legs symmetrical, lie on your back and raise the legs alternately and then bring them together at right angles with your body. If you have any tendency toward heaviness be faithful to your exercises that bring the abdominal and trunk muscles Into play and thus keep from acquiring the middle-aged figure that ruin3 style and youthfulness. FORMAL DRESS RETURNS War Informality of Cost time Declining—Wear Gloves at Dance. Tty Times Special BOSTON, Oct. 28.—The informal ity of costume brought about by the war is on the wane, as far as men are concerned. In Rondon men are wearing gloves again at dances and the style is expected to be In evidence here this winter. Dinner jackets are no longer worn by correct dressers at private evening functions. The formal dress suit, discarded for all except a very few occasions, will be seen this year more often than last. GOLFCLUB OF 20~MEN But Members Have Fortunes Aggregating a Billion Dollars. The Tarratlne Golf Club at Dark Harbor, Me., on whose course John W.

Its membership, which is confined to twenty persons, includes men whose fortunes are said to aggregate more than a billion dollars on a conservative estimate. The club is considered one of the most ultra-ex-clusive in the country.

e Scinsle LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE Well, It's all over, dear Ruth. With ell the barbarous ceremony with which we surround our dead when we pttt them away from our sight ; forever, dear old lad. who loved and lived life so fully, has been laid to rest. The pussy-footed men from the undertaker's shop, with their maddening airs of sympathy; the overpowerful scent of tuberoses and < lilies of the valley; the stifling pal! of creue veils; the harrowing notes ' rs liiuflc, and the long sermon wherein the minister drew a moral for the unregenerate from the blameless life of my father, have gone into oblivion. Poor, dear mother! Never before i did I realize how terrible are our funeral ceremonies. I sat beside her with her trembling hand !n mine, and felt her shrink and shudder when the hymn began. 1 heard her suppressed sobs as the minister referred to tier as "the widowed and forlorn ” It seemed to me that all this was like sticking a knife into a gaping wound and turning it around. Then the great line of motors filled with business friends and acquaintances of my father, the marching men of the different societies of w hich he, was a member, and the automobiles filled with flow- * rs. Perhaps it all was necessary. Perhaps all this was paying respect to my father's good deeds, but to me it was ostentatious and unnecessary.

An we left tho bouse, mother whispered to me: "Have all the flowers possible sent to the hospital, dear. so at least some poor, tortured living being will be gladdened by the sight and odor of blossoms that were given to honor lifeless clay.” An we entered the cemetery, we met another procession headed by a hand playing a funeral dirge. Following were vehicles with flowers, then innumerable motors filled with men, women and children. All these were poorly dressed, and John remarked "What a pathetic thing! some poor woman Is giving all the Insurance money’ to pay proper respect to her man.” Mother looked up with the first gleam of interest she had shown in anything outside of her grief and her own family since dad’s death, and as we descended from the motor she glanced toward the cheaper part of the cemetery, where about an open grave stood a group of people, evidently foreigners, while the band still played dolefully. Then her own grief overpowered her, ard Karl had to fairly carry her to the place reserved for the last rite of all. When it was all over and we returned to the house from which all signs of death and dissolution had already been banished, mother went Immediately to her room. I knew .-he wanted to be alone. John began to plan about getting hack to his business, and how quickly he could move to take charge of father's. Just then mother came In and said: “Leslie, I’ve been thinking of that other poor woman we saw at the cemetery today, and I want someone to go immediately and find cut if it Is true that she has paid out all her little board to give her husband a grand funeral. If that is so, have someone pay all those ex pensen for her I can not bear to have her suffer more than Is necessary.” I took my dear mother In my arms and kissed her. She may not be scientifically philanthropic, Ruth but she's a regular human being. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: This letter continued.

Martha Lee Says Ambition for Daughter May ‘Blind’ Mother

Frequently it is said of some man, “He’ll make a good husband.” lie is listed among the “eligibles, ” and mother:, with daughters of marriageable age shower invitations upon him. N He may be equally a fav’orite with the mother of Mary, a demure, quiet, “homey” girl; the mother of Peggy, a frivolous flapper who has been petted all her life, and the parent of

Marion, a feminist. These parents do not discriminate. The young man is “eligible”—he ;s wealthy, handsome and of good family, and has a pleasing personality. What more could any girl want? He may be “eligible,” but he cannot be the right husband for three girls with three totally different characters. If he would be a “good husband” for Mary, he could hardly be expected to make Peggy happy. Or if he were the right man for Peggy, certainly Marion would not be contented as his wife. But the mothers list him as “eligible,” and let it go at that. Thev fail to comprehend that daughters and husbands are cut from many patterns, no two exactly aline, but many equally “eligible.” Mother’s Choice Dear Miss Dee: Can you help me? I am 22 yea-s old. and in love with a man who is ma;ing a moderate salary, with a good chance of advancement. His family is poor, but has a good reputation, and the man has a splendid character, although he is not much to look at. My mother is trying to "make a match" for me with a young man who Is wealthy, handsome, a good dancer and one of the most popular men in town. I like him. and I think he lives me. but I have no desire to marry him. even if mother does succeed in gening him to propose. She says he would make a "wonderful husband." I suppose he would, for the girl who loved him. But I love another. MADGE. Your mother, I fear, is taking into consideration only material things. Since she evidently has nothing against the man you love except that he lacks the wealth and social position of the man she proposes as your husband, I do not see any real reason for your giving up this first man. After all, it is you, not she, wiio must live with your husband.
