CHILD HEALTH IS GIVEN STRESS IN CITY DURING DAY Flowers Distributed to Sick —Window Displays Carry Suggestions. Schools, community centers, settlements, hospitals and other agenries of the. city having a primary interest in children's welfare, combined forces to observe Child Health day today. The motor corps of the American lied Cross, assisted by the Public Health Nursing Association, distributed flowers to the sick children of Indianapolis. Bouquets, baskets and potted plants were taken to the James Whitcomb Riley, Methodist, St. Vincent’s, city and Christian Hospitals and to children sick at home. The flowers were donated by Bertermann Brothers Company, Fairfield Florists, Indianapolis Flower and Plant Company, A. Wiegand’s Sons Company, August Rieman and Greene's and by individuals. Child Health Films % Several motion picture houses exhibited child health films at special children’s matinee. Downtown merchants had window displays with suggestions for maintaining health of the youngsters. The Indianapolis Dairy and Food Council had ;• mechanical window display at the Merchants Heat and Light Company. The course of pure milk was shown from the milk pall .through the creamery to the bottle. Life-Saving Demonstrations Demonstrations of life-saving methods were given by the life-sav-ing corps of the Junior Red Cross at. the pools of tlie Indianapolis Athletic Club, Hoosier Athletic Club and Y. W. C. A. pools. A special program of religious hymns, well-known by children, were played on the chimes of the Second Presbyterian Church and Christ Church.

PROBLEM (Continued From Page 1) be at a saving to taxpayers. When It was decided to limit the amount to $1,000,000, she acquiesced and took a stand for tentative rejection of the plans until the committee considered tlie matter. The committee will report at the next regular board meeting. Kern and President Theodore F. Vonnegut declared the Thirty-Fourth St. site was not the ideal location. Mrs. Sedwick. at the beginning of the meeting, asserted she thought Forty-Sixth St. and Washington Blvd, was the proper location. Fred Bates Johnson anA Charles R. Yoke, minority members, continued to support the Thirty-Fourth St. location. Vonnegut said "the people seem to want the school at Thirty-Fourth St." "It is a mistake absolutely, but the town is tired of the subject—as tired as I am anyway," he declared. "In taking Thirty-Fourth St. I am abandoning an ideal. I have talked louder against it than the rest of the hoard members, but I am willing to swallow everything I have said and give the people what they want." * Majority Retracts Concerted action of the Indianapolis Public School Welfare Association, civic leaders and Shortridge teachers combined with tlie battle waged by the board minority faction, caused the majority to retract on the school’s location and capacity. Kopf & Decry, architects who drew tlie present plans, probably will be selected either lo revise them or draw new plans. The board decided not to forma.lly elect architects at the meeting, fearing court action because board laws prohibit authorization „of action to expend more than S2OO without permitting the resolution to remain tabled from one meeting to another. After the plans are, agreed on bids will be received and a bond issue proposal for *,000,000 will be presented to the State tax board for consideration before the issue is advertised. The welfare association, through .1. Clyde Hoffman, president, congratulated the board on its action. The action concluded a. nine-year controversy over the location and erection of the school.

Bert Morgan, State manager for Adams, contended the heavy industrial vote will be augmented by the ballots of thousands of farmers, who are weary because farm relief seems far away. Adams will speak at Anderson tonight. Senator Janies E. Watson, opponent of Adams, will remain in Washington, it seemed certain today. His managers have refuseel to concede weakness and maintain their well-otled machine, backed by the regulars enjoying party patronage, will triumph easily. Senators Supported Definite alignment of tlie Republican Stale organisation behind Senators Watson ayd Arthur R. Robinson was proved Friday night when Joseph B. Kealing, Republican national committeeman, urged their renomination at an Eighth' Ward organization meeting at the A. W. Bowen Company’ salesrooms on Ft. Wayne Ave. Kealing also urged re-election of County Chairman George V. Coffin. Tranquillity reigns in the Demperatic long-term race, with a bit of surprise occasioned by the stand of John E. Frederick. Kokomo, against lariff reduction. Movlny about the same rate of speed iti the marathon for this title, are Albert Stump and 1,. Ert Slack of Indianapolis. The blows are flying in the Republican short-term contest. Senator Robinson was expected to reply’ to the attempt of Oswald .1. Ryan, Anderson, to pin Stephenson ism on him.

Railroads Set New Records Tlie railroads of this country provided in 1925 service that was more dependable and more efficient than in any other of the nearly one hundred years of their history. Their improved service made it possible for business generally to lie carried on with fireater expedition and economy, and everyone shared iu the benefits. ~ Statistical proof of the increased dependability and efficiency of the railroads in 1925 is to be found in tlie many records that the railroads set last year. Freight trains were longer and faster. Tlie average fright train in 1925 consisted o F approximately 5 per cent more ears and carried a load approximately 4 per cent heavier than the best previous records, set, in 1924. The previous record for average daily freight ear movement, sel in 1925, was exceeded by nearly 2 per cent in 1925. Equipment was adequate. Shippers in 1925 received promptly, on the days for which they were ordered, 99.7 per cent of all the ears they asked for. Although more cars were loaded with freight and handled by the railroads in 1925 than ever before, there were held in reserve at all times during the year no fewer than 4.4 per cent of all freight cars and 6.4 per cent of all locomotives. * Freight was handled with greater care. Claims paid for loss or damage declined nearly 20 per cent in 1925 compared with 1924. Claim payments on account of delayed shipments in 1925 were nearly 44 per cent Jess than in 1924. Fuel went farther. In 1925, compared with 1924, fuel consumption per unit of service was reduced 6.5 per cent in freight train service and 5.4 per cent in passenger train service. The total saving amounted to 7,502,797 tons. The railroads were safer. The number of railway employes killed in accidents of all kinds in 1925 was the second lowest of any year on record—and tlie record goes back to 1888. Tlie railroads moved 575,000 ears of explosives in 1925 without a single injury. These excellent results didn’t just happen. They were brought about by careful planning, persistent effort and tlie investment of an average of threequarters of a billion dollars a year for the last, four years in improvements and additions to railway facilities. The country’s railway plant today is in better condition and better fitted to the needs of the country than ever before. Good service deserves adequate earnings. The railroads as a whole had more satisfactory net earnings in 1925 than in any other year since 1916, hut even at that their earnings did not reach the “fair return’’ to which the Interstate Commerce Commission lias held they are entitled. Further improvement in earnings is called for. both as a reward for present railway efficiency and as an insurance of continued efficiency in the future. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, May 1, 1926
