DUVALL DEFIED BY PARK BOARD HEAD IN LETTER Emsley Johnson Gives Reasons for Refusing to Resign Post. Kmsley W. Johnson, deposed as park board president by" Mayor Duvall, today defied Duvall and announced he -would retain his position, Johnson, in a letter to Duvall, denied a statement by the mayor that he and Johnson had talked over Johnson’s resignation. Belief that employes of tlie parks and. recreation departments should “give their time to their work rather than to the promoting of a political machine,” was cited by .Johnson as one of his reasons for retaining his position.

Coffin, Republican County chairman, who seeks to bolster his political control by turning over additional city jobs to the faithful. “You know as well.as I that neither of us ever at any time had a conversation about my resigning as a member of the park board,” Johnson’s letter declared. I never had any intention of resigning; I did not resign, and I -will not resign. Cites Compliment “In our last conversation, which was th 6 only one we have held f<r over a. month, you stated to me that you were well pleased with the work of the park hoard and that you wanted us ‘to keep up the good work.’ ” Johnson said his interest In making Indianapolis beautiful, desire to retain trained employes, wish to give the taxpayers’ their money’s worth, and pleasure of association with other board members, were other reasons for his refusal to resign.

GOOD DRIVER’S SIX ESSENTIALS ARE SET FORTH Characteristics Announced by A. A. A. —Favored by ‘Jury’ of Experts. Bv Times Special WASHINGTON, April 14.—1n line with its policy of developing a code of motoring ethics* to offset and replace the plethargy ot over-regula-tion. the American Automobile Association today announced the verdict of a jury of nationally-known traffic and safety experts on “What are the characteristics of a good and safe driver?” An analysis of the opinions on this problem disclosed that the seven men to whom this question was submitted by Thomas P. Henry, A. A. A. president, are in accord on six major essentials, as far as good driving Is concerned. These are. 1. The good driver has a high degree of self control at all times, this control manifesting itself In various ways. 2. The good driver always maintains his car in such shape that it responds easily and quickly. Regulates Speed 3. The good driver regulates his speed in accord with the conditions of the road over which he is traveling. and never travels at such a rate that lie cannot stop it within the “clear course"’ ahead. 4. The good driver invariably exercises due regard for the rights of others and always applies the simple axioms of courteous behavior. 5. The good driver accepts thß safety of the pedestrian as a primary consideration. 6. The good driver keeps his mind on tho road ahead.

Names of Jury The A. A. A. announced the names of the jury to which the matter was referred, as follows: Ray McNamara, service engineer of the Chrysler Motor Sales Corporation, who has driven more than 1,000,000 miles without an arrest, without an accident and without an insurance claim of any kind. Rennet Hill, one of the greatest speedway drivers of the age. George M. Graham, chairman of the traffic and safety committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. A. B. Barber of the Cnited States Chamber of Commerce, also director of the Hoover Conference on Street and Highway Safety. Dr. H. C. Dickinson of the heat and power division of the Bureau of Standards, who has made a special study of safe driving. Dr. F. A. Moss of George Washington University, a nationally known psychologist. Officer E. W. Smith, who for ten years has regulated traffic at one of the most congested intersections of Washington, and who is now on duty at the White House.

CONSIDER THIRD SITE FOR S.H.S. (Continued From Page 1) Topp, be condemned. Bis proposal includes condemning enough of the Topp property to run Fortieth St. through nearer Thirty-Ninth St. He has offered the Newby site for $165,000. including two houses, which, he declared, can he moved back and used for school cafeteria purposes. Wilson said he did not have an option on the grounds, hut that Newby had reduced his price from $200,600 when he learned Wilson would submit it to the board as a location for Shortridge. The property has a frontage of 521 feet on Meridian St. and*s9s feet on Fortieth St. Wilson pointed out that the Meridian St. frontage is 121 feet more than the board now holds at the Thirty-Fourth SL site. Wilson said he first submitted the proposal to the board of consideration when it was announced in February that anew site for the high srhool would he sought. Me said it was about this time that he made the proposition, which included the losing of the street and condemnation of the Topp property for additional school space.

Thinks It Has Merits "I think this site has merits better than those of either of the other sites,” Wilson said. “It beats the Forty-Sixth St. site and does not have the noisy traffic conditions complained of at the Thirty-Fourth St. location." He explained that the site was only a block from the Illinois Mapleton car line, which ends at Thirty-Ninth and Illinois Sts., hut one square from the Meridian Heights line, which runs on Pennsylvania St. and four blocks from the Illinois Fairview line on Boulevard Place. It Is understood the majority school board faction encouraged Wilson to present the proposal. May Fight Plan It is believed the Topp family will fight the plan. The previous school board looked at the Fortieth St. property of the Topp’s and found the price too high. The Topps formerly owned the Thirty-Fourth St. site which the board now wants to sell. It has been announced the Topps will endeavor to regain the difference between what the board paid for the Thirty-Fourth St. site and the amount the board obtains if it is sold. The board, through condemnation proceedings obtained the site for about $82,000. When the move to relocate the school first* began, the board said n new site would not be taken unless at least $107,000 was obtained for' the Thirty-Fourth St. property. The move of the board in considering the Fortieth St. proposition Is labeled as “e compromise." However, it is believed the fight against the board’s plan to abandon the Thirty-Fourth St. site will become more intense when the welfare association in a driving campaign to stiw i

.MRS. A. KI STOW stomach awful headaches —loss of weight. issue and strength sour stomach—cramps—these are some of the symptoms of a disordered stomach. - People who take Konjola say there is nothing like this celebrated medicine to relieve a disordered stomach ami put a stop to such distress and misery. For instance, just a short time ago Mrs. A. Fistow. a popular young lady of Hamilton, Ohio, living at 1204 Hanover Street, that city, made the following statement .about Konjola ’ while talking with Tnh Konjola Man, who is now in Indianapolis at Hook's drug store, i-orner Pennsylvania and Market Sts., where he is daily meeting crowds of men and women from all over this section and explaining Konjola. “Fight years ago the influenza left me a health wreck,” said Mrs. Bistow. “I have suffered stomach troubles of the worst kind ever since then, and up until the time I began taking Konjola. I had terrible headaches every day, and those awful dizzy spells would come over rne when I tried to do the least hit of housework. I was losing weight fast, simply because I couldn't eat. My stomach had become so bad that just a little food would cause cramps almost immediately after I had eaten. Nothing would agree with me. When I ate the lightest kind of food it would cause gas to form in my stomach and press up around my heart, and chest.

“Well, the truth is that I have taken seventeen different kinds of medicine, and some very expensive, and many various treatments. My suffering continued and kept growing worse until 1 finally began to take the new Konjola I declare that if 1 had found this medicine years ago, if would have saved me a lot of money and misery. Since I've taken the Konjola I have gained 18 pounds, and it seemed to give me relief at once from my stomach suffering. I'm able to sleep soundly every night and 1 feel in the same good condition of health that I enjoyed before having the influenza • I never suffer from dizzy spells, or headaches and cramps. * 1 am doing all my own housework, too. I have gained so much in weight and strength liecause 1 am abale to eat what 1 want and digest my food. Konjola has helped me in other ways, because 1 was formerly subject to neuritis pains in my neck and shoulder*, but these hate disappeared. Yes, I am feeling tine in every way, and 1 owe my health to this new Konjola. It is a pleasure to pass the word along and indorse this fine preparation.” This Konjola is the new medical compound that has recently accomplished such surprising results in so many instances at larger cities and throughout the Ohio valley. It is believed to lie just what thousands of sufferers in Indianapolis have needed for years to actually reach their cases. Tlie Kon join Man is at Hook's drug store, corner Pennsylvania and Market Streets (the busy downtown section of Indianapolis and the easiest to get to), where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free sample.given. Konjola is also for sale at all of Hook’s drug stores throughout the downtowb section df Indianapolis.—Advep.jsem|>t.
