SQUASHES COME FROM FLORIDA Sell at 10 to 25 Cents Each at Market. " Tod.fy found the first of the sumtner Simmons squashes on the stands at the city market. These were imported from Florida, selling at 10 to 25 cents each. Japanese tomato persimmons, at 5 cents each, were the only other new arrrival. It is believed that after today New York Concord grapes will not be on the stands, the supply being about exhausted. Prices of three commodities were jcut. Alligator pears sold at 70 cents, a drop of 10 cents. A 5-cent decline placed hothouse cucumbers at 15 cents each. Southern beans, selling at 25 cents a pound, were 5 cents lower than on Saturday. Other commodities new on Saturday remained at the same prices. These included Brussels sprouts, 26' cents a box; white Malaga grapes, 20 cents a pound; King oranges, 60 cents a dozen, and fresh imported endive, 60 to 70 cents a pound. The many other fruits and vegetables commonly offered at this season were selling at steady prices. Produce prices have remained unchanged for a number of days. Ail FARM AID COOLIDGE ADVISES (Continued From Page 1) nnd induce Americans to ship in United States bottoms. Create a board to deal with radio problems. Reduce Government bureaus which control business. Develop the Philippines economically and do not turn them back until the natives are politically and economically fitted to assume control. Continue the policy of having the army and navy a “peace force;’’ pay attention to cruisers, submaries and aviation; discharge war debt obligations rapidly; avoid competitive armament. Prohibition Views Supplementary legislation for enforcing prohibition “should be carefully and speedily enacted.” Persons dissenting from prohibition have access to orderly methods for sc king a change in the Constitution. but all should obey the law. Promote “understanding and good will between ourselves and all other people.” Keep American ideals; our “vision ought always to he fixed on high.” Turing to the farm relief problems the President wrote: "If a sound solution of a permarejrt nature can be found for this problem, the Congress ought not to hesitate to adopt it.” *The farmer “hag a sincere and Hkndid desire for assistance,” he said, and “if matched by an equally sincere and candid consideration of the different remedies proposed, a sound measure of relief ought to result.” “The whole question of agriculture needs more careful consideration,” the President declared. “While the Government is not to he blamed for failure to perform the impossible, the agricultural regions are entitled to know that they have its constant solicitude and sympathy.” Any permanent reduction in Federal taxes was frowned upon by Mr. Coolidge, who feels Congress should make an exhaustive study of the effect of the last tax reduction before considering another. But temporary relief can be found, he believes, in his plan to reduce payments next year by percentage refunds. “Such a reduction would directly affect millions of taxpayer?, release large sums for investment in new enterprises, stimulate industrial production and agricultural consumption, and indirectly benefiting every family in the whole country,” the President said. In reporting to the Congress the State of the Union, Mr. Coolidge said he found "it impossible to characterize it other than one of general peace and prosperity. In some quarters our diplomacy is vexed with difficult and as yet unsolved problems, hut nowhere are we met with armed conflict,” he continued. “If some occupations and areas are not flourishing, in none does there remain any acute chronic depression. the country requires is not so Ach new policies, as a steady conciliation of those which are already being crowded with abundant success. ”

Mrs. Maviah Kotnaine and some of her tatting.

Tatting by the mile, instead of by the yard, is about way Mrs. Mariah Romaine, 414 E. St. Clair St., produces fancy work, for she’s been doing it ever since the time of the Civil Wpr. “I really began before that —when I was about 14 years old,” said Mrs. Romaine, who was 82 years old last October, “but for several years I laid it aside. I love tatting and would rather work at that than eat the finest meal. It makes the time

GETTING ON ‘FORCE’ NO T SO EASY NOW But 124 Men Seek to Brave Rigors of Civil Service Examinations in Order to Wear Stars.

The constabulary's duty to be done. A policeman's Ufa la not a happy one. The familiar words from The Pirates of Penzance are believed by 124 young men of Indianapolis, but they go the song one better through conviction that the life of only an applicant for the police force is not entirely rose-pathed. For it's to be the survival of the fittest under the new civil service commission, according to John F. White, president. With 124 applications received when the lists closed Dec. 1, the commission is preparing an exhaustive test to select the next arms of the law in this city. Probe Character “First, we make a thorough investigation of their character, past life and standing in their neighborhood,’’ White said. "This test already has eliminated a number of men whose only qualification was political support.” Much of this work is done by city detectives. To date more than thirty persons have been investigated, commission officials say. Then will comb a thorough medical and physical inspection, during which the applicants who lack physical and health stamina will be eliminated, according to White. First pins were to hold this examination Saturday, but preliminary investigation has proceeded slowly recently, and it probably will be postponed until next week. Physical Exam Those “bulls for strength” who pass the physical examinations will

pass more quickly and It's a practical pastime.” “It’s surely that,” smiled Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, her daughter. "Mother has a good sized' bank account that’s come from her tatting work.” Mrs. Romaine has originated a number of patterns of lace-Hke trimming, formed from the tatting and she has lately "gone in” for crocheting on an ambitious scale. She is very proud of yokes she has crocheted. “This work keeps me young,” she asserts.

not become police "bulls” until they pass a mental examination. Leonard V. Harrison, secretary of the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce, is cooperating with the board in preparing questions for this test. "Our effort will be to remove all suspicion and to conduct an examination that will be fair and square to all,” Harrison said. Whether majority faction city councilmen will succeed in their endeavor to kill civil service was being discussed. Patronage Removed Councilmen in the past have obtained considerable patronage in naming policemen and firemen. This patronage will be removed by civil service. , However, councilmen claim they merely wish to see that civil service has been legalized by councilmanic action and also say they resent the fact that Harrison is taking an active part in the commission’s affairs. White said that the commission will examine aspirants for firemen when they have finished with the policemen.
