PLAYGROUNDS THROWN OPEN IN CITY TODAY Children, Out of School, Scamper Away to Play. Thousands of school kiddles, hard to waken during school days, sprang from their beds to be the first at the thirty-nine municipal playgrounds which opened today. Five swimming pools and bathing beaches were also added today to Riverside bathing beach, o'pened a week ago. For many weeks, the office of the recreation department has been receiving personal appeals, telephone calls and forceful letters of the faithful who helped elect Lew Shank mayor and beat the bushes for Ralph A. Lemcke. Employes Appointed Appointment of 202 employes for the summer season has been announced by Edward E. Mcßride, recreation director. The list will be cut to 185, the average number for the season, he said. A list is said to have been shot full of holes by administration leaders, who found their favorites had ben overlooked. When the children gather on the recreation grounds they will find baseball diamonds, swings, slides, ladders, horizontal bars, towers, horseshoe courts and many other amuse-ment-making devices. Playgrounds Added All playgrounds in operation last year are included in Mcßride’s list with addition to Christian Park, Riley Hospital for Children and School 70, which was discontinued in 1924. Additional swimming ‘‘holes’ 1 ’ available today are: Warfleigh beach, Rhodlus Park and Douglass Park swimming pool and Willard Park and Ringgold St. wading and swimming pools for children. List of playgrounds follows^ Brightwood, Greer, Ringgold, Williard, Riverside, Camp Sullivan, Garfield, Riley, Rhodlus, Jameson, St. Clair, Spades, Kanses and Meridian Sts., Highland, King Ave. and Michigan St., Fall Creek, Brookside, Finch, Brookville, Udell and Rader, Christian Park, Kingan’s, Shelby, Meikel and Wyoming Sts., Norwood and the folowing schools: 16, 20, 29, 30, 31, 36, 50, 70, 17, 24, 42, 63 and 64. GRAVEL FOUND UNFIT Construction Company to Be Responsible for Pavement. Examiners for the State board of accounts have recommended that the Mead Construction Company be held responsible on its maintenance bond for any defects that may develop in the E.

Is a Bad Back Wearing You Out? DO you get up these June mornings lame, stiff, achy all over? Is every day a weary round of throbbing backache and stabbir-* pains? Are you so tired, nervous and dispirited it seems you just can’t keep going? Then why not give some attention to your kidneys? Very often these troubles are due to faulty kidney action. AVell kidneys keep the blood stream pure. Sluggish kidneys pave the way to slow poisoning of blood and nerves. Don’t let kidney trouble get a firm hold. If your kidneys are sluggish, help them with a tested stimulant diuretic. Use Doan’s Pills. Doan’s act on the kidneys only. They are recommended the world over. Ask your neighbor! “Use Doan 9 si? Say Indianapolis Folks:

J. S. LEAMAN, Prep, of Grocery, 101 N. Harding 8t. f says: “Sharp pains darted across my back and when I stooped I got a kink In my back. My back was lame and sore, too, and my kidneys were disordered. I used Doan’s Pills and my back is all right now and my kidneys haven’t troubled me since.”

Studies Here to Help India Butler Student Plans School Similiar to Tuskegee Institute.

To cut the bonds of illiteracy and superstititon that bind his people is the ambition of Lalit K. Shah of Bilaspur, C. P., India, one of six students to receive the M. A. edgree at Butler University today. In order to fulfill this ambition Shah will study at Columbia University, New York City, next year. Having added a Ph. D. to his list, he will return to Bilaspur, where he hopes to establish a school on the order of Tuskegee Institute, a school for colored persons in Alabama, combining handicraft and industrial art training with academic work. Educate! Masses “Education of the masses is Indiaos greatest proglem,” said this 25-year-old student, who received his A. B. from Ewing Christian College, in Allahabad, U. P., India, and took special post graduate work in rural education at Moga, Pungal, India, before coming to Indianapolis last September. His work here was at Butler and the College of Missions. “The American system of popular education is superior to the English idea of educating a \ew, with the supposition that their education will permeate to the masses. Your high schools are better than the English. But the English universities have a higher standard than yours, except the oldest ones in this country.” In this year in America, Shah has observed more than education. He has decided ideas on many of our institutions. He gave these views, for Instance: Approves Prohibition “Prohibition Is here to stay. It Is workable, and some of its results can be seen already. We have the same problem in India. “Before I came here, I thought all Americans were Christians and were very good. Now I know they are not. But I have a good opinion of your country. “The flapper? Once American girls must have gone to the other extreme, of conservatism. Now they are getting back to normalcy. “Marriage and divorce are very loose here. You do not hold marriage sacred. I do not wholly approve the Indian way of staying married despite everything, but I do not comprehend your way of marrying one day and being divorced the next,” TRAFFICMEN TO PICNIC Annual Stag Affair to Follow Luncheon June 25. Indianapolis Traffic Club members will hold their arnual stag picnic June 25, at Horse.ihoe Lodge, on White River twenty miles north of the city, near the Noblesville Rd.

Robinson was today investigating sudden deaths of William Logsdon, 71, of 215 S. Davidson St., and Joseph Smith, 38, colored, 817 N. Senate Ave., Saturday. Police said Logsdon evidently died from heart trouble and Smith from hemorrhage of the lungs.

MRS. S. R. RANDOLPH, 207 N. Fulton St., says: “I have used Doan’s Pills with benefit and can recommend them. My kidneys were weak and my back felt lame and stiff. My work tired me and I had headaches and felt weak and dizzy. My kidneys were disordered. Doan’s Pills, which I bought at Hook’s Drug Store, soon removed the trouble. My back and kidneys didn't trouble me."

Cocaine Blamed for Banditry Cocaine, bolstering the nerve of youthful criminals, inspired by heroic atmosphere cast about master crooks, is responsible for the prevalence of hold-ups, Ernest L. Kingston, president of the board of safety, declared today. "Employes of the Rural St. branch of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company described the bandit who robbed that place as ‘glassy-eyed and bearing apperance of an insane man,’ ” Kingston said. “The man they described has the appearance of a coke fiend. I believe few criminals guilty of recent robberies are endowed by nature with the nerve to pull the job without artificial stimulation.” "They say this cocaine will make a rabbit fight a lion.”
