‘NO PLAYING IN STREET’ TO BE POLICE ORDER Accident Prevention Bureau Will Start Crusade Through Schools. Mr. Flxit has just finished celebrating a record day’s mail. Eleven letters came rolling in. and Mr. Flxit went rolling cut of The Times office to attend to their requests. Let Mr. Flxit help you at the city hall. Write him at The Times. A crusade started by Sergt. Mary Moore of the police accident prevention bureau will have for Its object the cessation of children playing In the street, she told Mr. Flxit today. The warnings will be Issued through all public schools against playing in the street and children riding bicycles will be informed they must attach a red light to the rear of the bicycle. This should break up the practice mentioned in the following letter: DEAR MR. FIXIT: Just a line or so to see if there is no way of keeping children off the street on N. LaSalle St. from Washington to New York St. There are quite a number of children always playing on the street' As the street is always heavy with automobiles, surely there is some way to have parents to keep their children. I have seen several children almost hit. LOVER OF CHILDREN. If the warning fails to produce results, inform Mr. Flxit, who will take legal steps affecting parents of the children. Here’s good news for Prospect St. citizens: DEAR MR. FIXIT: In reference to your complaint of sign needed at New Jersey and Prospect Sts., will say that we have placed three “Danger Slow” signs at this location. TODD STOOPS, Secretary manager Hoosier Motor Club. DEAR MR. FIIT: You have helped others in their complaints. Can you help another? There is an old building on Addison St.. It is nearly ready to fall down and a public nuisance, our street was not graded this year and is in a terrible condition. TIMES READER. The building will be inspected at once, according to a promise made at the building inspector’s office. W, P. Hargon, clerk of the street commissioner’s office, will order the grading if funds last. DEAR MR. FIXIT: After the paving of Minnesota St. between Shelby St. and Churchman Ave., the broken pieces of concrete sidewalk, which range in size from six to eighteen inches, were hauled Into the alley at the rear of the above address and makes it impossible for automobiles and other vehicles to pass through, including the garbage and ash wagons. Neighbors have called the city engineering department in regard to this condition, but so far have had no results. A. DUHAMEL. Otto J- Smolon. head of the department of improved streets, will investigate this condition. DEAR MR. FIXIT: What is the matter that College Ave., from Fiftieth to Fifty-sixth St. is not paved between the car tracks? We, the property owners, have done our part—paved both sides more than two years ago, and paid for it. But the street car company has not been compelled to live up to their part. And the interurban makes such a

Back Lame and Achy—All Tired Out? Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are Functioning Properly?

IS a dull, constant backache keeping you miserable? Do you get up lame and stiff; drag through each day feeling all worn out —weak, nervous and dispirited ? Then something is wrong! Have you given any thought to your kidneys? Your kidneys are the blood filters. Once they slow up, poisons accumulate in the blood and there’s an upsetting of the whole system. Many aches and ills follow.

“Use Doan’s, ” Say These Indianapolis People:

CHAS. H. GILLEY, Painter, 1410 W. Ray St., Says: "My back pained and I couldn’t rest well at night. Mornings my back was stiff and lame and T could hardly move about. My kidneys were disordered. I used Doan'a Pills from Withers’ Drug Store, and they rid me of the trouble.’’—Advertisement.

noise and Jar on account of not being paved that it Jars loose the foundation and the brick work of th* property, let alone not being able to sleep nights. We have a list of property owners being prepared. Who shall we present It to, and what can you do for us? J. C. YOUNGS. William H. Freeman, board of works member, said the Indianapolis Street Railway Company Intends to start this improvement with the completion of work now under way on Central Ave., Pennsylvania and Tenth Sts. Your petition should be presented to the board of works. Mr. Fixit will follow up the matter with the board when you file the petition. Freeman said he expects the improvement you request will come before the first of the year. DEAR MR. FIXIT—WiII you please have someone investigate vaults on N. Elder Ave. NEIGHBORS. The board of health will tackle this request at once. DEAR MR. FIXIT—I wish you jvouid stir up the engineering department and the board of works on the following petitions. In June, 1924, I presented a petition to the board of works providing for sidewalks and curbing on Beechwood Ave., between Arlington and Sheridan Aves., and the same improvements on Sheridan Ave., from Rawles Ave. to Ivanhoe St. In December, 1924, the board of works ordered engineers to draw up plans for these two streets, and as far as I can now find out they are still in the engineer's office and have never been resubmitted to the board of worksc About six weeks ago I also presented a petition to the board of works providing for the opening of Catherwood and Sheridan- Aves., from Ivanhoe St. north to where the streets are now open at the tracks, so that we might have a thoroughfare out to Washington St., whereas we are now block* and off on the north, as you can note on a diagram map of the city streets. A READER. There are a number of reasons why these improvements have been delayed. Mr. Fixit learned. One of the most important is the action of individual members of the board of works in insisting that petitions of friends be acted upon first. Another cause is the failure of city council to authorize transfer of funds to pay inspectors for stret improvements and to employ draughtsmen necessary. Only one draughtsman is available now. Hundreds of petitions are suffering the same fate as your own. TO A TAXPAYER: The city and county are preparing to construct a bridge over Bean Creek at Shelby St. The street car crossings on E. Michigan St. have not been brought to the attention of the present board of works. Mr. Fixit would suggest that you prepare a long petition of residents to convince the board there Is a public demand for repair of the other crossings. TO MR. HENRY MYERS: R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent, said the park board has refused to place the bronze figure of Lincoln in the southeast corner of Memorial Park, because plan engineers have advised it would not conform to that-park’s plan of development.

One is tired, dull and listless; subject to sharp, rheumatic twinges; backache, headaches and dizzy spells. The kidney secreions are apt to be irregular and disturbing at night. Don’t risk delay. If you have reason to suspect your kidneys, give Doan's Pills a trial. Doan’s assist the kidneys to better eliminaion. They have been used successfully for over thirty-five years. Are recommended by many Indianapolis people. Ask your neighbor!

MRS. LELAND MACKEY, 1115 E. Pratt St., Says: "I had rheumatic trouble in my knees and they wire 60 stiff I could hardly bend them. My arms swelled and I felt miserable. I ached so I could not rest mornings and felt sore and lame. I used Doan's Pills and they relieved me.” —Advertisement.

CAFETERIAS OF SCHOOLS TAKEN OVER OY BOARD Minority Faction Adopts Motion of Dr. Marie Haslep. The business of managing Indianapolis high school cafeterias, which feed thousands of students, will be taken over by William H. Book, business director, and the Indianapolis school board instead of being de ; 'gated to high school principals. The school board minority faction. Dr. Marie Haslep and Adolph Erahardt, with only a quorum of three members present, put over the issue Tuesday night. Barry Objects In spite of objection by Charles L. Barry, who was acting a3 board president In the absence of Charles R. Yoke, that the idea was “revolutionary,” Dr. ilaslep’s motion carried by Embhardt’s vote and her own. "I am opposed to private ventures in a public organization,” declared Dr. Haslep. “The food costs more at one school than at another.” joined in Kmhardt. “Why, they tell me the children won’t eat at some of the cafeterias 1 ‘•cause they get Inod that is warmed over too often. There must, be bad management somewhere." To Work Out Plan The board appointed Book and Dr. Haslep as a committee to work out a plan whereby the cafeterias might be managed by the board directly, in accordance with Dr. Haslep's motion. Barry pointed out that the board might not be lawfully entitled to go into the i%staurant business, and that if it did. a large force of clerks would be necessary to take care of the accounts. The cafeterias at Shortridge, Manual Training and Technical High Schools are managed by school'principals, assisted in many cases by teachers and students. M’NAMARA IS OUT ON BOND Iron Workers’ Agent Faces Blackmail Charge. John J. McNamara, business agent of the local iron workers union, and long a storm center in labor circles here, is at liberty today under $2,500 bond after having been arrested on a blackmail charge. He gave himself up at the sheriff’s office. McNamara, who sprung into na-tion-wide notoriety when the Los Angeles Times Bldg., was bombed in 1910 and twenty-one people died, in a labor war, is accused this time of threatening workmen at the Fletcher Savings & Trust Company Bldg The county grand jury returned the indiotment Tuesday. The indictment says McNamara used threats to try to cause employment of iron workers instead of union carpenters to do some work. The labor leader goes to trial Monday on similiar charges of black mail resulting from labor trouble and alleged threats made at the new Elks Home and other plares In 1924. Henley Friedman gave McNamara’s bond.

TALK LYNCHING FOR SLAYER OF W.C.T.U. LEADER Vinton, lowa, Aroused to Heights by Killing of Crusader. Bii United Pres* , VINTON, lowa, Sept. 9.—Citizens of this little county seat are so aroused over the assassination of Mrs. C. B. Cook, 41, president of the county chapter of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, presumably by some bootlegger whose activities she had curtailed, that police today decided to veil their Investigation of the murder in closest secrecy. Talk of lynching Mrs. Cook's assassin, should he be found, was heard on every street corner where the citizens formed in little groups to discuss the moat spectacular tragedy the town has ever known. Union Seeks Killer The W. C. T. U. Issued a statement declaring thelr dead leader had given her life for the cause of temperance and that unless the law found the guilty party the union would consider taking the search into its own hands. Mrs. Cook, “terror of rum runners,” was shot to death as she sat in the window of her home Monday night. Mrs. Cook was so active in her crusading against the illict liquor traffic in this section of lowa that police are at a loss to know Just what individual bootlegger or rum runner she offended most. Had Many Enemies She often Issued public statements denouncing public officials for laxity in the enfoicement of the prohibition law and shortly before her assassination had announced her Intention of taking a list of violators before the county grand Jury and demanding indictments. The coroner’s Inqueet has brought out that Mrs. Cook had numerous enemies in the Illicit liquor business and that undoubtedly anyone of a half a dozen men In Benton'County would be glad to have her out of the way and that an open attack was made on her once before.

SCHOOL BUDGET DISCUSSED AT BOARD MEETING Final Action on Figures Expected Later This Week. With no severe criticism or strenuous opposition voiced gainst the probudget at Tuesday night** bearing, the Indianapolis school board will proceed to finally adopt the budget and fix the tax levy at a meeting which probably will be held Thursday. Remonstrances, generally tern-' pered by suggestions which the board has already followed, wer heard by the board Tuesday night, and a general budget discussion held. Opposition to the $1.36 proponed levy and to the $1,217 proposed reduced levy, were heard. The baord approved plans and specifications of the West Side and Jefferson high schools and, authorized William H. Book, business director, to advertise for building bids, which will be received Oct, 1, and 2. It was decided to secure a temporary loan of $500,000, in anticipation of taxes, to pay teachers’ salaries. from the Union Trust Company. Taxpayers Protest Chief opposition to the tax levy and budget was made by the Indianapolis Taxpayers' Association, in a statement read by W. C. Nusbaum. The principal reason for opposing the increased levy was that It would place too much burden on the taxpayers and that It might be “destructive of further commercial and ■ Industrial expansion of the city.” The association expressed the belief that the levy could be cut below the $1.217 point. The paper was

signed by Harry Miesse, secretary, F. C. Gardner, F. A. Clarke, Frank D. Stalnaker, Arthur V. Brown, James H. Taylor, John W. McCardle, John W. Holtzman, L. C. Huesmann, A. E. Metzger, and Samuel E. Rauh, Leonard V. Harrison, Chamber of Commerce budget expert, and John B. Reynolds, secretary, in general approved the budget. Harrison said he had “nothing but heartiest commendation for the way in which it has been prepared.” Harrison’s chief suggestion was that the board might sell the present Shortridge High School and the ground, and lease the building until the new Shortridge is built. He suggested the board sell the administration building, Meridian and Ohio Bt. Barry Presides Charles 1,. Barry, preotdlng to the absence of the board president, Charles R. Yoke, pointed out that the two suggestions entailed considerations of three elements; when the new Shortridge would be ready for occupancy; finding new quarters for the board, and whether the board would decide to use part of the Shortridge buildings as administration buildings. Jacob Hilkene, superintendent of buildings and grounds, agreed with Harrison that he might effect a saving of about $5,000 through an efficiency study of the japitorial service. Superintendent E. U. Graff said, the percentage of failures in Indianapolis schools had been reduced to 5 per cent below the average, lowering teaching expense. The board authorized Book to notify the John A. Schumacher Construction Company, that it must replace plastering which fell at school 75. INDUSTRY jIS IMPROVING Reports from Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne indicate industrial conditions there are improving, George H. Mosser, manager of the State Chamber of Commerce, said. There are forty-five industries in operation at Ft. Wayne and thirtyseven at Terre Haute.
