His mail todayt Today's Mall Dear Mr. Fixit—l note that you secured very quiok action on getting a bad hole In the pavement repaired on Capitol Ave. and "Washington St., some time ago and I am wondering if you can secure some results farther up on on Capitol Ave. in a short length of time. There are four very bad holes In the pavement at Fortieth St. and Capitol Ave., and they are getting so large it is almost impossible to pass this point without hitting at least one of them. This same intersection is also a very dangerous one and we residents living north of that point would appreciate it very much if this was made a stopping point by police order or some other arrangement. I have known of three bad accidents that have ooourred at this point in the past year and one of them happened to a neighbor of mine. GLENN O. WELCH, 4028 Hinesley Ave. Otto J. Smelcer, superintendent of paved street construction, said the holes will be repaired Mon-

With the arrival of summer the car owner hauls the old bus out of the garago, looks It over critically and. If he Is a wise and thrifty man, speaks thus: “Well, I can’t see that there’s so much wrong with this boat. I need anew front fender and anew glass In the left headlight, where I bumped that safety signal, and there’s anew gasket necessary to stop the oil leak from the engine and the left hind tire Is all to the bad, but I’ll just drop Into the Capitol Auto Parts and Tire Company, 819 N. Illinois St., tell Morris Marcus what I need and he'll fix me up for lees than one payment on anew ear would cost.” Nine Tear’s Experience nOd It doesn’t matter how many new or old parts the car needs or what variety of automobile It happens to be, for Morris Marcus, In the nine years that he has been In business, has gathered together every Imaginable part from every known variety of car and has them all, neatly arranged, where the car owner can pick out what he needs.

Benjamin N. Bogue

One of the most striking examples of success won over serious obstacles is found in Indianapolis in the experience of Benjamin N. Bogue, founder and for more than twenty-four years head of the v ßogue institute for Stammerers. When he was a boy Bogue was handicapped by the miserable affliction of stammering. For nearly twenty years of his life he faced the discouraging fact that he could • not speak without stuttering or. stammering. He failed in schoolaatio efforts and In the business world he lost one Job after another because of his Liability to talk propertly. Finally, after trying every proffered opportunity in the way of so-called “cures, ” Mr. Bogue, through an Intensive study of the human voice and the parts of the brain that control the vocal organs,, evolved a systematic method of overcoming the affliction of stammering. Inspired by a desire to utilize his acquired knowledge of stammering and how to overeme It successfully to the benefit of thousands whose speeches impaired by the stammering habit, Mr. Bogue established the school in Indianapolis that bears his name. Through the portals of the Bogue Institute for Stammerers have enterel several thousand stammerers, boys, girls, men and women, miserable because of an affllcation over which they had been unable to gain control. Students have come to the Bogue Institute In Indianapolis from every part of America and from many distant lands to learn, the Joy of unimpeded speech.

Bailey, manager of Insurance and real estate department of the Marlon County State Bank, 139 E. Markqt St. , It has become a matter of selling service as well as insurance to your customers. Formerly an agent kept the expiration of a customer’s fire insurance policy, renewed the policy, collected the premium, and that was the end until the next expiration. Sell Protection Now It is necessary to sell him protection, and show him he needs such protection, against loss by fire, I tornado, burglary compensation,! public liability, use and occupancy, sprinkler, and all the different forms j of automobile Insurance, all of the above being carried by most of our: successful merchants and manufacturers.

Freeman, H'ho suggested the sulxj. way Idea to relievo traffic ut bu-vJ| downtown street intersections, stll™ is supporting that proposal. Frank C. Lingenfelter, city engineer, who was Instructed by tha board to proparo plans for first of subways at intersection of Pennsybj vanla and Washington Sts. and Vir.J ginla Ave., has been unable to start!J tho work because of pressure of oth-; er business. In Philadelphia \ Freeman, who recently vlsltetl' Philadelphia, said subways are thaJ backbone of that city’s traffic system. In addition to subways.; through which pedestrians mays cross the streets without running? afoul of speeding automobiles, under-! ground electric lines carry passensj gers to many ports of the city, whlW suburban railways find their way ton the outskirts through subterranean' passages. Question of Time "It’s only a question of time until the growth of Indianapolis will! necessitate construction of subways to carry passengers, so why not ghJA them a test for relieving traffic?” FYeeman asked.
