BOARD TO USE D-l SYSTEM IN GRADE SCHOOLS Contracts Let for No. 78 Building —Board Members Clash. All new grade school buildings in Indianapolis will have the direct-indi-rect heating and ventilating systems manufactured by Clarence C. Shipp, it was learned at the school board meeting Tuesday night. Freyn Brothers received the contract for heating and ventilating in School 78, at $21,724; Haynes Brothers, the plumbing, a,t. $10,355, and the Sandborn Electric Company, the electric wiring, at $3,570. While minority members Fred Bates Johnson and Charles R. Yoke argued the merits of the direct-in-direct system with Charles Kerr, and board President Theodore F. Vonnegut, Kern said the board had made it a standard rule to put direct indirect systems in grade schools. Yoke and Johnson declared they knew nothing of this rule. Yoke said that for $256 more, the board could have up-to-date efficient systems instead of “antiquated” devices. Kern said Voke was merely making misstatements for the benefit of the newspapers. “The D-I system is more effiicient than the Book-Johnson system,” Kent said. (He referred to minority member Johnson and former business director, William H. Book, who favored the univent system.) Johnson said wall boxes should be added to the D-I system to make it operate efficiently. “He doesn’t compel us to put them in,” Jacob H. Hilkene, superintendent of buildings t ;nd grounds, said. “Who do you mean by ‘he' ?” Johnson asked. "I must have made a mistake,” Hilkene replied.

$182,000 FIRE LOSS li DAY (Continued From Page 1) companies at work to confine the fire to the manufacturing building, three stories high and abouty seventy-five feet square. Fire doors separate this building from the main structure, one story high and of wood construction. Explosion after explosion took place and the flames swept fifty feet into the air. On the third floor of the building many drums, empty, but containing paint fumes and corked, exploded. Keep Flames in. The firemen prevented the flames reaching pumps leading to the large under-ground tanks, where thousands of gallons of benzine, alcohol and other liquid? used in paint and varnish manufacture are located in the front building. The upper floors of the burned building coved in and the first floor was reduced to a mass of debris. The company has warehouses at Grand Rapids, Mich., and High Point, N. C., which are fully stocked, and business will be carried on as usual, Quinn said. A fire at 44-50 W. Ohio St. caused damage estimated at SI,OOO. The blaze started this morning in a pile of rubbish under the B. C. Blacker parlor, 4G W. Ohio, and smoke and water also damaged the Pants Store and The Sandwich shop, to the west, and the E. PI, Craft music store, to the east. Fire officials said the SI,OOO damage estimate of property owners was too high, and that the proper figure would be about S2OO.

HOW conscious we are of our skin! Even one- little pimple or blackhead will so embarrass us that we want to hide right away. And eczema, boils, blotches and rashes! Why, these awful things simply destroy all our ambition! But what confidence we have in ourselves if our skin is clear and unblemished—free from any eruptions or breaking out! A clear skin is one of the greatest possessions in the world —and it is so easy to have it. All that is necessary is to keep our systems full of rich, red, pure blood. S. S. S. helps Nature build this blood. And the impurities that cause these so-called skin disorders are driven right out of the system. If you want the kind of skin that captivates men and compels the admiration of other women, just remember that you can’t have It if your blood is impoverished. But, just build red-blood-cells in your blood with S. S. Sand your dream of a soft, rosy, velvet skin, clear of blemishes, will be reatized. Than notice / the difference in the | ] way ycu fee.' Ij j B. S S. has proven \ #w * / for generations that V it helps Nature build X/ the rich, red blood that makes beautiful skin and healthy bodies. Let S. S. S. prove it for you. Get S. S. S. from any drug Btore. And get the larger bottle. It’s more economical.

Sixth St. and Shadeiand Ave., was practically destroyed by fire this morning, with loss estimated at $4,000. Firemen from Engine House 21 made the run, pumping three wells dry. Discovered by Official Blaze at the Indiana Paper Company started about 5:30 p. m. according to Harry Ostermeyer, vice president who discovered the fire on the second floor. Although the origin of the blaze could not be definitely determined Fire Chief Jesse. Hutsell said it might have started from spontaneous combustion as the floors had been oiled Tuesday, Chief Hutsell also said it might have been a carelessly tossed ciga ret. But investigation will be made to determine the actual cause. Within a half hour after the fire was discovered the interior of the building was ‘a mass of flames and over a score of fire companies answered the third alarm. The flames for a time threatened to spread to adjacent buildings. Fireproof walls prevented the flames from spreading to the Smith-Day Company chaii nrv'r i urers. on the west side of "vi"v ind the Dor mah Bros. Tire and Vulcanizing .. „ . o,i me east. Hutsell defended the work of firemen at the paper company blaze, after hearing that some spectators had said their work was inefficient. Firemen had the blaze under control about 7 p. m. Firemen were still on duty today playing streams upon the debris to prevent the 'Smoldering ruins from blazing forth again. Fireman Hurt Guy Hickman, Company 7. was slightly hurt when he ran a nail in his foot, and several other firemen suffered from the heat and smoke. Firemen were endangered when the east wall of the building caved in. Fred Ostermeyer, president, said the loss was covered by insurance. Temporary offices are located at 18 N. East St Envelopes, bond paper, cordage, towels, drinking* cups and other paper products were destroyed in the tire. Ostermeyer said. Occupants of eighteen apartments at the Ortiz fiats, 1112 Central Ave., fled scantily clad early today when fire thought to have started front a carelessly tossed cigaret damaged the elevator shaft and three rear apartments.

BUCK-BMUIGHT FOR 25 YEARS Texas Hotel Proprietor Tells How This Medicine Relieved His Dyspepsia and How He ; Has Continued to Use It. “'I have used Black-Draught for 25 j years' and keep taking it once in a while when I need medicine,” says Mr. A. C. Whittle, proprietor of the Whittle < Hotel, DeKaib, Texas. Mr. Whittle has been a well known citizen of Bowie County for a great many/years, although coming originally from Dalton, Ga. “I began taking Black-Draught for indigestion,” says Mr. Whittle, and a tight, close feeling in my chest. I had this trouble about two years. I finally J read of Black-Draught and began tak- I ing it and soon I was rid of the trouble. “No one knows what I suffered. I Eveu water would come back. I could eat such a little. Black-Draught, helped me, so I could eat most any- j thing. “I took it a year or so and then left j it off and after a while I had a return J of this dyspepsia and sour stomach. I went back to Black-Draught and was relieved again and have never entirely i left it off since. I think it is a spleu- | did liver medicine.” Mr. Whittle would not have contin- j tied to tiike Thedford’s Black-Draught consistently for 25 years if it had j not benefited him. Other persons in j great numbers have told how Black- j Draught has been used In their families over long periods of years—in many cases for several generations.—Advertisement.

Protesters are expected to capitalize the erroneous move of the board at the second protest meeting at 7:30 tonight in the annex of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, ThirtyFourth St. and Central Ave. An organization will be formed and named at this time. Fundamental purpose of the association will be officially sot forth. Committee to Report The protesters’ legal committee, composed of G. A. Millett, Forest Knight and Albert Pierson, will make a detailed report of the work done by themselves and Bosson in preparing the petition which they plan to file to restrain the board from selling the Thirty-Fourfh St. tract and relocating the school on Forty Sixth St. Plans will be formulated to raise a $5,000 fund to carry the battle to the courts. Realtors and persons living near the Forty-Sixth St. location already have pledged $1,300. A resolution of majority faction member Charles W. Kern to condemn the lots along Forty-Sixth St., was tabled Tuesday evening, in accordance with the rule. These lots appraised at $25,750 belong to the A. B. Kauffman heirs. Resolution Tendered ,T. E, Saettel. South Side Boosters’ Club secretary, led a group of majority faction sympathizers to the meeting and tendered a club resolution adopted Monday night, supporting the majority in its move to relocate the school. Board President Theodftre Vonnegut told Johnson it looked as though people were getting tired of being “bamfoozled”. by the minority. All Applaud Practically every person in the room applauded. Vonnegut said when the entire site was bought it would take in the improvements to the south of it as well as the lots along Forty-Sixth St. “That improvement stuff Is a brand new one on me,” Johnson said. “All that will cost $764,000. You can buy land adjoining tiie Thirty-Fourth St. site for $45,000.” Vonnegut and Kern said this couldn't be done. John Smith, Central Labor Union president, headed union investigating committee and questioned the hoard in connection with the Shortridge situation. Johnson fold the connnittte that

if the board erected the building bn Thirty Fourth St. contracts could he let in three weeks, while the delay on Forty-Sixth St. will be at least a year. Kern said at FortySixth St. could be ready for occupany by September, 1928. He said he could get new plans and specifications in six months. Smith asked if there was any assurance that the building would be completed in the fall of 1928. “Just the Question” .“That’s Just the question,” Johnson said. Johnson told Smith there would be no chance of saving any money on the plans that will be throw’n away if the new’ building is erected. Arthur Lyday. union secretary, said he thought it w'as reasonable to assume that court action will delay the building.. He asked if it were true that about $50,000 in repairs will have to be spent’on the buildings at Michigan and Pennsylvania Sts. He was told repairs will amount to about $2,000 a year. Henry Friedman of the investigating committee said there will be a loss of “$40,000 on the plans and $2,000 p year in repairs that will be paid by the taxpayers.” “But if the throwing away of $40.000 will mean the saving of SIOO,OOO, that’s a good proposition, isn’t it?” Kern asked. “Yes, if that’s guaranteed,’’ Friedman said. Friedman asked if the board was not under contract to deliver the Michigan St. property on Jan. 1, 1929. Hugg said that was the contract, and the State Life Insurance Company, buyers, can make tho board deliver. “Well, how are going to deliver, if you’re not out,” Friedman asked. “Put ’Em Out” “Put ’em out on the streets,” Johnson said. “That’s when the children pay.” minority member Charles R. Yoke, asserted. The itnjon’s committee will attend th protest meeting tonight and will meet at 4:30 p. m. Thursday.
