INTRODUCTION OF ‘SPEEDWAY BILL’ EXPECTED SOON House May- Get Measure First With Senators Reported Cautions. Introduction of a measure to, prohibit holding of the Indianapolis ♦Speedway race on Memorial day will take place within a few days, it was indicated in legislative circles today, Backers of the bill are understood to be seeking someone to introduce it. Exact form of the measure, and its provisions, was a matter of considerable doubt. Due to the fact that the hottest fight of the 1923 session occasioned passage of the Moorhead anti-Speedway bill, although subsequently vetoed by Governor McCray, plans for the present contest have been carefully laid. * Two Bills Drafted The Anti-Saloon League and the G. A. R. it is understood, have drafted two bills, one of which could be used as a substitute in case the other were rejected. One of the bills would prohibit any "commercialized” sport on Memorial Day between 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. The other would place observance of Memorial day under the current laws governing observance qf Sunday. Either would affect the Speedway, although neither mentions that enterprise. Reported failure of proponents of anti-Speedway legislation to find a Senator willing to introduce the bill has caused observers to believe it would be offered in the House, where its chances of passage would be better. Senator Robert L. Moorhead, Indiahapolls, introduced, th* measure in the Senate in 1923, bui has declined accepting sponsorship this session. Updike Switched Ex-Representative Ralph E. Updike. now Congressman-elect, was father of the bill in the House, in 1923, but suddenly switched to the point of becoming its. bitterest enemy on third reading. Intense support of the measure in 1923 is acknowledged to have blasted the political hopes of more than one aspirant for re-election.

CHAPMAN ESCAPE SCOFFED AT JAIL Officials Laugh at Story of Extra Precautions Taken to Guard Prisoner.

County jail officials today laughed at a story that they had taken extra precautions to prevent the escape of Gerald Chapman, nationally known criminal, held there since his capture at Muncie Sunday. "We’re not afraid of his getting out,” Sheriff Omer Hawkins said. “Why, I went to bed at 9:30 Monday night.” "And I went to the boxing match at Tomlinson Hall,” chimed in the day jailer in charge of the range where Chapman is held. "I wouldn’t have left this place if I had thought there was any danger of his getting out.” Chapman remained uncommunicative. He w*as barely civil to questioners. During Interviews, or attempted interviews, he walked to the front of Qie runway separating the “bull pen” from the jail corridor and immediately turned away so that it was difficult to get more than a half view of him. His dark suit still was immaculate and looked well pressed. A sprinkling of gray in his hair and his

A Puzzle a Day

N w£- E s A man had a sum of money; he entered a store and spent one-half of what he had and a dollar beside. Entering another store he spent half of what he had left and $2 beside. In a third store he spent one-half of what he then had and $3 in addition. He then had only $1 left. How much did he have at the start? Yesterday’s answer: The drawing shows the new field (in . white) compared with the old (white and shaded). The white field has one-half the area of the large field; but both measure four rods from north to south and east to west, as the smaller field is measured by its diagonals. The original field was four rods square; that Is, it was four rods on each sfde; the new one contains four square rods, as each of its sides is two rods In length.

This is the verdict of the central committee of the Communist party, after which no good Communist would consider raising the question under penalty of offending party discipline. The central and control committees removed the commissar of war and navy by inviting him to send in his resignation and accepting the same. Official Russian newspapers print news of the resignation on their inside pages without editorial comment. Leon Trotsky, shorn of much of his power, now is expected to go south for his health as soon as he desires. SIMS INTRODUCES BILLS Would Require Teachers to Abstain From Religious Garb.

TECH HIGH MODEL Cl VIC COMMUNITY Students Set Up Informal G overnment to Care for Problems of Every Nature.

If citizens of every community conducted themselves as students of Technical High School do, municipal experts would have to fold their tents and silently slip away to ether fields of endeavor. Milo H. Stuart, Tech principal, believes grown-ups can learn a valuable lesson from informal self-gov-ernment as practiced at the school for several years. Students, without a formal organization for the purpose, make their own regulations for conduct as the occasion arises. Stuart applies the principle that if the proper spirit among the students is cultivated will be no need for organizations to control the conduct of the student body. For Tech’s Prestige "The school is regarded as a Junior state,” he said. “Students coming in for the first time are taught the written rules and the unwritten traditions. Rivalry exists each year to see which class can do the most for the prestige of Technical. “Whenever a problem arises some group of students volunteers its services for its solution. “We have the largest cafeteria in Indiana. We serve 4,600 students In two and one-quarter hours, seating 1,600 at a time. Yet not a teacher is assigned to the cafeteria to keep order. ' Courtesy in Public "Dress, one of the problems of the school, is taken care of by a committee of Senior girls who'cooperate with the dean of girls in setting correct standards. Their rule is that any manner of dress which attracts attention is improper.” Recently three public speaking classes asked Principal Stuart for the privilege of taking up the matter of courtesy in street cars and busses. "Pretty soon posters will be dis-

played among the students advising them to obey the rules of courtesy on public conveyances,” Stuart said. The principal issues a daily bulletin which is read to all classes. In it he commends action of ‘groups which sponsor better conduct or, perhaps, calls attention to something which should be corrected. Traffic Force Traffic problems are taken care of by a group of Seniors, he said, as an illustration of how the students respond to school problems. The students laid out traffic routes for the eleven buildings and the seventy-six-acre campus and stationed "traffic officers” to guide the pupils. Certain stairways are "one-way” streets during periods when there is most congestion. Students were sent to each class room to explain the systen and “sell” it to the student body. “Our plan is to emphasize the formation of habits of voluntary public service, the school itself being the sample community,” Stuart concluded. University Club Elects Mark H. Miller has been elected president of directors of the University Club. He will name other officers and committees later.
