WORKERS PUT PLAYGROUNDS IN CONDITION director Says Preparations Are Being Made for Opening. y<m nave trottwe m obtaining n<vimprovements. controlled by city tffidals. inform Mr. Fixit. He is The Jidianapolis Times representative at die city hall. A letter to him will receive prompt attention. Gangs of workmen are fast rounding up the playgrounds into good condition for the season, which opens June 5, H. Walter Jarvis, city park director, told Mr. Fixit today. Fixit’s mail includes a letter from a citizen ,vho lives near Finch's Park. Dear Mr. Fixit: Can you find out why nothing is being done to Finch’s Park to make it into a park instead if a weed grown commons? There is a playground in this park, but children cannot play there long at a time because there is no shelter from the hot sun. Hope you can "fix it.” Jarvis predicted the workers of the recreation department would arrive at Finch Park about June 20. They are now in West Indianapolis, are then scheduled for Brightwood, and afterwards will work their way back to Finch Park. You may have confidence that the park will receive thorough treatment because the estate of Mrs. Alice Finch Includes a legacy of SIO,OOO to the park board to be expended in the park. ft Dear Mr. Fixit: Do you think it is possible for us to have either a street car line or a bus line out English Ave. from Southeastern Ave? The nearest car line is E. Washington St., which is six or seven squares away. MRS. A_MOS, 3815 Spann Ave. There is little prospect to obtain a street car extension. The Indianapolis Street Railway Company now Is in such a low financial condition that it is unable to proceed with extensions already ordered by the board of works. The bus situation depends materially upon the result of the controversy over a franchise for the Peoples Motor Coach Company now under consideration by the public service commission. The residents of your locality would have to show the board of works your number is large enough to warrant direction to the street car company for another extension. Dear Mr. Fix^t —Please have some.hing done with the intersection of Mount and Eleventh Sts. It is almost impossible to get across the corner, there is such a high bank on -■ach side. , T. CHICKADONZ. 1219 Haugh St. Mount St. is being paved, according to W, P. Hargon, clerk of Hie street commissioner’s office.

STATESSCORED BY COOLIDGE IN DAY’S ADDRESS Says Nation Headed Toward Most Dangerous Crisis Since War. ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, ARLINGTON. Va., May 30. —President Coolldge, standing on consecrated ground entombing the heroic dead of war today declared the present governmental trend of the nation was heading toward the most dangerous crisis In the national life since that great conflict. The President boldly criticised many phases of State and Federal governments. The States, he asserted, are with one hand thrusting their duties and responsib'Uties upon the Federal Governr .ent and with the other are heaping up the costs of the local government that remain to them. "The local political units look to the States, the .States look to the nations and nations are beginning to look to some vague organization, some nebuluous concourse of humanity. to pay their bills and to tell them' do. "If we are too weak to take charge of our own morality, we shall not be strong enough to take charge of our own liberty. “By failing to meet the requirements of a national demand (for prohibition) the States became deprived of the power to act,” he said. "If questions which the States will not fairly settle on their own aocount shall have to be settled for them by the Federal authority, it will only be* because some States will have refused to discharge their obvious dutlea.” "We boast that this Is a land of equal opportunity for all,” he said. "We Insist that there is one law for all the people. "But so long as we can go to a distant State for divorces which others are denied at home there is not equality In this regard. When some States grant valuable exemptions from taxation which other States Impose, one person may enjoy while another Is denied these benefits.” • The lowest speed at which an airplane can fly Is about 31 miles an hour.

General opinion about the pits Is that with favorable weather conditions the old record of 98.24 miles an hour, set by Boyer and Corum last year will be bettered, although the balloon tires in use are not expected to stand up as well as the old type. "Doc” Shattuc, in his first big race, went about preliminary arrangements with all the coolness of an old timer. Harry Miller, designer of Miller motors, and Bennie Hill, were together in a long conference in Hill’s garage. Ralph De Palma got the biggest hand of the day when he drove on the track at 8:30.

A special train of sixty-five, from the Cleveland Automobile Club, pulled in at the Speedway about 9:30. / An elaborate timing device was installed in the Duesenberg pits.

official timers In an effort to prevent errors. As in previous years Tommy Milton, twice winner, was the first driver to line up his car at the pits He was closely followed by his team mate, Bob McDonogh. Phil Shafer piloted one of the two “Duesles’T out on the track shortly after day break. Ralph De Palma, veteran of them all, has a checking system all his own this year. He has a lot* of trick stuff. Earl De Vore In his nickel plated Miller Special and Frank Elliott In his Miller were among the early birds. Both were at the pits before 8. Nig Shank, world champion tire changer, predicted that the first fifty miles would be run at 109 miles an hour. He is pit manager for Ellingboe. He said Elllngboe would run a conservative race. Krels was the first Duesenberg driver to roll his car to the pits. STATE KLAN MARCHES More than 2,500 Parade Through Downtown Streets.
