STREET LINES RECOMMENDED FOR RAILROAD I Mr. Fixit Gets Complaint on Crossing at Belt Line.

Do You Know? Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, is acting mayor in the absence of Mayor Shank, who is taking a vacation trip of two weeks in the East.

Mr. Fixit will bat for you in the municipal league. He is The Times reporter at the city hall. Write him at The Times , White lines in the center of streets are recommended to Mr. Fixit today as a means of preventing traffic congestion after one of the long waits for trains to pass at the Belt railroad crossing on Madison Ave., slated for elevation sometime. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Will you please have a white line painted in the center of the street back 300 feet on the north and south side of the Belt Railroad on Madison Ave? When the crossing is blocked by trains the automobiles line up four and five abreast on both sides of the crossing instead of staying on th 9 right side of the treet. REGULAR TIMES READER. Your idea strikes Sergt. Mary Moore of the police accident prevention bureau favorably and she will investigate. If the suggestion •eerns feasible, she will recommend : to the board of safety. An inspector from the bureau will care for the following complaint at once. Sergeant Moore told Mr. Fixit. DEAR MR. FIXIT: There is a telegraph pole standing in our yard: it has been there for years and is now rotten and a menace during storms. There are no wires attached. MRS. A. J. GRUBBS, 759 W. Twenty-Fifth St. • DEAR MR. FIXIT: Will you kindly inform the Indianapolis street cleaning department the condition of South Highland Ave.? It has not been swept this summer- This is a side street, but very public. A CITIZEN. The street cleaning department informed Mr. Fixit the street was flushed recently and that it will be cleaned at"regular intervals. Daily attention is impossible, it is said, but you may be sure it will not be allowed to remain dirty for long periods. The street cleaning department also promised Mr. Fixit immediate attention to the following complaint: DEAR MR. FIXIT: I wish you would see to it that E. Norwood St., between S. East and Greer Sts., is cleaned because you can not see the pavement in pome places, and the street is full of bricks. It has not Pfcen cleaned since it was paved last ear. MR. DUGAN. DEAR MR. FIXIT: As there has been so much opposition about New York St. being widened, did it ever occur to the board of public works to open St. Clair St. through the Arsenal grounds? There is plenty of ground through there and on through Woodruff Place. By so doing, that would take a lot of traffic off New York St. St. Clair St. extends east of Woodruff Place, also and it looks to us like the sensible thing to do would be to extend the street through Arsenal grounds and Woodruff Place. That would give a straight thoroughfare from Massachusetts Ave. NEW YORK ST. PROPERTY OWNERS. This matter has been considered by members of both the board of works and plan commission, but in an extensive survey of traffic needs, conducted by a nationally known expert, New York St. was designated as the logical speedway WANTS TO HELP OTHERS “I could not rest because of coughing all night” writes Mr. L. E. Davis, 651 E. 46th St.. Chicago, 111. “Tried FOLEY’S HONEY & TAR and it is the best remedy for coughs and colds I ever took. I introduced FOLEY’S HONEY & TAR to several of my friends and they think it's the best Kthey ever used.” FOLEY’S HONEY TAR just naturally hits the spot nd gives quick relief from coughs, colds and hoarseness.

They have never cemented the walls or floor or reinforced it in any way, and the walls are about three feet from the foundation. As the walls have started to crumble, it is in danger of falling down, and I don’t want it to fall on my house. They never got a permit to dig this basement.

STATEMENT ON SCHOOLS GIVEN DY SHERWOOD Superintendent of Instruction Shows Extent of State System. Hearty cooperation of school officials, patrons, teachers and pupils during the coming school year is urged by Dr. H. N. Sherwood, State superintendent of public instruction, in a pamphlet issued by him today. The bulletin calls attention to the significance of the opening of Indiana schools and urges school officials, pupils and patrons to enter the new year with renewed interests in and enthusiasm for public education. Dr. Sherwood's statement in part: “The time is now at hand when the doors of the schoolhouses of Indiana will open for the 1925-26 school year. Vacation period has ended. “The - citizens of Indiana in their respective s.;hool communities may well.take notice of this annual event. From the standpoint of finance alone it merits consideration. Indiana has $110,000,000 invested in her school plants. Sue paid last year $27,000.000 for the services of teachers and $3,300,000 for the transportation of pupils. The interest on school bonds was $5,600,000. The total school expenditure last year was over $52,000,000. Thirty-four cents out of every dollar of taxes collected by Indiana was required last year to finance our public schools. No other single activity of the State costs its citizens so much, with the exception of roads. “While the taxes for school purposes seem large, we could much more easily meet the oayments If we would save on pleasure and luxuries. A small cut in movies and candy, tobacco and cosmetics, ice cream and pleasure gasolint, would produce foi almost every taxpayer a neat sum with which to pay the taxes applied to meet the costs of schools.” “The opening of school is significant, too. because of its social readjustment. Six hundred thousand boys and girls take on different habits, shift their interests and form new associations. Withal, there is a pronounced change in the conditions under which they live. "Both pupil and teacher should have satisfactory conditions under which to live and work in the schoolroom. The responsibility for providing them rests largely with school officials. They should, therefore, be zealous to provide the bodily comforts that guarantee good health. To this end water supply, ventilation, heating arrangements, opportunities for recreation and play, and toilet facilities require attention. They should provide, also, for conditions favorable to study. A comfortable body is a good beginning. The right amount and kind of light should be provided and pupils should be comfortably seated. Equipment, such as maps, charts, globes, and supplementary books, should he adequate. Moreover, conditions favorable for the building of a righteous character shoule exist. This means artistically decorated and well-kept rooms, an attractive yard and lawn, and clean and well-ordered toilets. The school atmosphere should be wholesome and the school tone full of respect and reverence. The most Important factor that shapes character in the schoolroom is the teacher. Therefore, let the teacher.

Blimp Expert Reiterates Shenandoah Valve Charge Construction Superintendent of Dirigible Says Desire to Save Helium Caused Disaster.

NOTE: The following statement has been received by The Indianapolis Times trom Capt. Anton Heinen. who superintended construction of the dirigible Shcn mdoah and brought her safely hack to Lakehurst when she .vas torn loose from her mooring mast bv a storm early in 1924. Heinen reiterates and elaborates his charges that a reduction in number of her saiet.v valves caused the lops of the Shenandoah. By Capt. .Anton Heinen Noted Dirigible Expert LAKEHURST, N. J., Sept. B.—ln view of the fact that my former statement, passionately made because of the loss of the ‘Shenandoah’ and part of her crew, has created a sensation, I have been forced to justify my former remarks based on a careful consideration of all the known facts. Those fourteen gallant men need not have been killed. An airship might possibly go through her whole career without ever being subjected to an emergency such as that which arose on the fateful third of September. Yet, It is for Just such emergencies that the system of safety valves Is provided for. At the time that her extremely able constructors turned her over to the Government of the

Intelligent Citizenship “The opening of school challenges our attention in the third place because the machinery of the State made for the creation of an intelligent citizenship is put into action. It brings to our mind again the fact that a democratic government is built on an intelligent citizenship. The function of our schools is to provide this foundation. We require our boys and girls to attend school until they are 16 years of age. We give our pupils instruction that is cultural, social and vocational. We want them to be self-supporting, refined, and equipped to serve their fellowmen. “Teachers are the most important

United States, she was provided with safety valves sufficient in number to withstand any kind of weather conditions which our past experience had taught us might be met. At this time I wish to stress the point that I do not limit the successful combat of the ship to "any ordinary weather.” We have had cases where such ships have been hurled over “pressure height,’’ and at least one case on record where a ship was brought over “pressure height” at a speed of over fifteen meters per second; this ship came out of the difficulty somewhat strained, but with flying colors, nevertheless. Personally, I have been drawn up with a ship In such line squalls, more than once. We learn from reports forwarded from Lakehurst that tests were conducted with ten of the original eighteen valves shut off from operation and that nothing happened when brought up over “pressure height.” It is but fair to inquire why the all-important time element

public servants in Indiana. They guide the Intellectual growth of our children. They bring their leadership to that of their school 'community. The church Is the most important community activity in which teachers engage. In these several ways they build for Indiana a citizenship that is both intelligent and righteous. “School officials, patrons, and teachers, by hearty cooperation with one another, add to the efficiency of the schools and make school days a joy to the boys and girls. Children are entitled to the best that an adult generation can give them. They are the dawn of tomorrow. School officials, patrons and teachers constitute the rock of our school service. May It always be true that when we smite it streams of educational opportunity gush forth.”

of such a test is omitted from the report. It Is entirely conceivable that the ship could be lifted in quiet air slowly with only one valve working in conmmunication with all the gas bags, but an emergency is an entirely different proposition. I am afraid that a false feeling of security has brought about a change in the construction of the all-impor-tant safety valves device, which was to safeguard the most precious thing aboard the ship—human lives —from destruction. From a device used for the protection of human life, it has been changed to a device for saving the valuable helium contained in the gas bags. The above-referred-to change in the plan and construction of the safety valve system is the primary and only cause of the terrible disaster. Asa result we have been deprived of many splendid friends and promising airmen. Then, too, we have lost the wonder ship Shenandoah that has found a glorious but unnecessary place in the disaster list of airship history. In spfte of all that happened, the airship when properly constructed, handled and cared for, is the safest way of human transportation. . Years that are to come will prove this to be so. And in the passing of years with the greater anil more pronounced success of airship transportation will come the
