BROOKSIDE PARK SKELTER HOUSE UPON 1926 CARD Mr. Fixit Gets Lengthy Appeals From Readers.

Do You Know? It is useless to attempt to see Mayor Shank at the city hall except’ at an indefinite time between 11 and 12 a. m.

Mr. Fixit will help you obtain needed improvements. He is The Times representative at the city hall. Write hint at The Times and you’ll get results. Anew skelter house for Brookside Park is Included in the program of the park board for 1926 and will be built if city council approves the 8-cent park levy, R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent, told Mr. Fixit today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: We are appealing to you as a last resort. We the property owners along the south drive of Brookside Park were compelled to pay for the paving of our boulevard driveway. We were promised lights and the renaming of the street for Sixteenth St. to the South Drive. We have appealed again and again to the park board, always receiving promises. The only shelter in the park was torn down leaving the public without any kind of shelter. COMPANY OF NEIGHBORS. You must submit a petition for the lights to the park board. If you want to take your chances on action by the board, it might be a good idea to give them a little support when they battle with city council to obtain their levy at council’s next meeting. DEAR MR. FIXIT: About the first of May I carried a petition signed by every property owner on W. Thirty-Seventh St. into the board of works office. It was sent to the engineer’s office and we can’t get any reply from it. Our street is the only street north of Thirtieth that is not paved. We cannot get water unless we drill a well 150 feet deep. 'No sewer, no gas. This petition calls for permanent improvements on W. Thirty-Seventh St. from Crescent to Barnes or to where it intersects with W- ThirtySixth St. at Golden Hill entrance. HUBERT P. POWELL, 1140 W. Thirty Seventh St. Your petition will have little results unless a petition is filed with the board of works for sewers on your street, Mr. Fixit has learned. The city will improve no streets which later would have to be torn up to install sewers. DEAR MR. FIXIT: The alley between Carlisle PI. and Wallace St. in the 800 block is a disgrace. The south section is lower than t?j northern part and when it rains hard the water stands for several days, making the alley impassable. We also have trouble in getting our

Hargon, clerk of the street commissioner’s office, will order an immediate investigation with a view of placing gravel on the street. Cinders are exhausted. The board of sanitary commissioners will correct garbage collection conditions. DEAR MR. FIXIT. A large sixroom double-house has been moved next to the one in which I live and is iA a very dangerous position. Will you see what can be done about it. MRS. LEHMON, WATSON, 1201 S. Randolph St. Bert Westover, assistant building commissioner, will send an inspector at once. AMBULANCE IN COLLISION Driver Turns Off Street and Hooks Fender on Auto. A city ambulance returning to the hospital after taking a sick man home, was in a collision at Park Ave. and St. Clair St. Thursday night.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Marriage Not What It Was County Clerk Sees Change in Those Who Call for Licenses.

TZTi HEREAS marriage in the good YX/ old days was a matter for serious consideration and much anguish of soul, nowadays the little blind god finds hip way beset •by the thorns attendant on Jazz and women’s economic Independence. Once the ardent swain lived oh good nourishing water and plenty of work while he scraped around for enough to buy at least a modest diamond ring, pledge of his eternal devotion, but in these fast times the little matter of an engagement band is not considered necessary, is the sage opinion of County Clerk Albert H. Losche, who sells marriage licenses. For three years Losce has watched them come in and buy a license and in a great number of oases bob up again in the course of time under another of his deputies—the second tune for a divorce or to pay alimony support money. Used To Be Serious “They used to think when a man and woman got married it was a serious matter,” said Losche. “The would-be bridegroom would almost

starve himself to death to buy a diamond ring. Some of them would give their lady fair all the dimes they obtained, to help toward the desired end. “Now, most of the couples treat marriage as a lark —anew thrill, having tried all else. These kids that come in for a license laugh and giggl** and are not In the least nervous about entering on the greatest moment of their lives. It is a procession from dance hall to the altar.” Example Given Losche related a specific example. “A while back a young girl. Just over 18, and her young sheik came in. One of the girls her© knew her. and asked how long she had known her prospective husband. “ ’Oh, it will be three weeks this Saturday night,’ was the reply. T met him at the dance hall. He is a wonderful dancer. I could just die in his arms dancing.’ ” The county clerk thinks also that the fact so many women have worked has a bad effect on marriage. The lady of the house misses the weekly pay roll, and is not backward about cutting loose if everything doesn’t go right or hubby is WHY DO WE CLAIM ‘unusual merit for SHAPLEY’S Original STOMACH MEDICINE -—Because Thousands of people have written us that they received Quick Relief from the very first bottle.
