WANT TENURE ACT FULLYEXPLAINED Gilliom’s InterpretatiorKWill Be Sent Teachers. Attorney General Arthur L. Gil/t liom will be asked to prepare a complete interpretation of the new teacher tenure law for publication in booklet forpi, Charles Miller, State superintendent of public instruction announced today. The law which was sponsored by teacWers at the last session of the Legislature has been the subject of much controversy since its enactment. It was intended to prevent removal of teachers with more than live years experience except for grave reasons. Some school authorities, however, have been reluctant to renew contracts for the sixth year because it automatically places the teacher on the indefinite tenure list. Joseph F. Thornton, acting school superintendent, said: “In Indianapolis the spirit of the law will be followed. Several sections of the law are not generally understood, however. The attorney general’s opinion will be welcomed by many teachers and school authorities throughout the State.’’ WELL PAID POMPTON LAKES, N.

“IT IS WONDERFUL THEWAYKONJOLA RELIEVES PAINS” This Man Says the Rheumatism Never Came Back Since He Got the New Medicine. Among the many prominent Indianopils citizens who are publicly indorsing this celebrated new Konjola compound, probably none is better known than Mr. Harry Bdr-

Mr. Harry Barlow

low, who is Stage Manager at Broad Hippie Park, living at 929 Locke St., Indianapolis. “I think it is wonderful the way Konjola relieves pains, because this medicine cleared up a terrible case of rheumatism for me several months ago, and the phins have never come hack on me, so I feel that I have permanent relief at last,” said Mr. Barlow in his statement to the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Dyug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., this city, where he is meeting large crowds of people daily and explaining this remarkable medicine. ‘‘My first touch of pain appeared when I was on a hunting trip last March, a year ago,” said Mr. Barlow. ‘‘My right hand began to hurt, and before I could get home my fingers were so swollen and cramped I couldn't close my hand. The pain was terrible—just felt like my hand was in a vice. I tried various remedies, but nothing would ease up that awful pain. Never a day passed that I wasn’t in misery. I lost the use of iny right hand completely and finally a knot raised on my wrist as large as a hen’s egg. I was certainly worried, and for over a year I was victim to this suffering and discomfort. ‘‘l read the papers and became interested in the way so many Indianapolis people were indorsing Konjola. I started taking Konjola myself and it was the only thing I ever took that actually ended the pain and misery. I can use my hand just as well as anybody now, and the knot has gone from my wrist. Konjola has done what a great many other things failed to do for me, and I feel that a medicine which will give such wonderful relief is worthy of praise. It is a pleasure to indorse this Konjola for the wonderful help it has been to me, because I know It will help others.” The Konjola Man Is at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and explaining th merits of.this remedy. Konjola is also for sale by every Hook Drug Store in this city, and by all druggists in outside towns. — Advertisement.

jixit Suggests to Petition Board Tor Repairs.

Mr. Fixit, rhe Times’ representative at the city hall, will be glad to present your ease to the proper rit.v officials. Write him in care of The Times, signing lull name and address. Name and address will not be published. The dead line for street light complaints has passed. After today Mr. Fixit cannot help much in getting lights in yarious parts _the city. Please do not send him such complaints unless it is absolutely necessary. Roy C. Shaneberger, work board president, suggested that all persons having trouble with unimproved streets place a petition with the board of works to have them paved. A number of Mr. Fixit’s readers haves done so, thereby insuring them good streets the year round. True, it would cost something to begin with, but Mr. Fixit thinks that the advantages of having a good street would offset the first cost. Dear Mr. Fixit: Will you please see what you can do for us poor souls down here in the mud of Becher St., west of S. East St.? The only repair this street has had in two years two or three loads of cinders. Anything you can do in getting this street fixed will be appreciated. D, w. E. Street Commissioner George Woodward declared that he would fix the street as soon as possible, but could not promise any fast action. Mr. Fixit would advise petitioning the works board for the paving of the street, which would stop all trouble. Dear Sir: Is there any way to force the water company to extend their mains west on Thirty-Seventh St. from Cusent Ave,? Wf have petitioned the company a number of times, with no results. A. E. L. The proper place to petition for watej; is the works board. Place a petition signed by a majority of property ovvfiers with the board and you will get the water.

Mr. Fixit: Several hold-ups have been caused at the corner of Fifti-eth-St. and College Ave. because of a lack of a street light at this place. Please see what you can do toward helping us. E. J. Arthur L. Ilaufler, assistant city engineer, said he would try to get a light at this plpce. Dear Sir: Please see what you can do toward having the garbage collected from 1533 Steel St. I have lived here four months and no garbage has been collected. J. R. J.

TITLE INSURANCE HAS IDE USAGE The largo number of inquiries reaching the office of the Union Title Company daily regarding title insurance has shown, in the opinion of J. E. Morrison, sales director of the title insurance department of this company, that the public is anxious for a detailed explanation of this important protection. With this in view, Mr. Morrison has issued the following explanatory statement regarding title insurance: “Title insurance is based on a search of the record and if legal examination of the findings, plus a guarantee providing many essential safeguards which cannot be included without this insurance. "It eliminates delays in closing sales, it assures the purchaser that he is buying a marketable property. It protects the property involved against possible loss by some minor flaw whieli might be discovered in the title. It greatly facilitates quicker and easier loans on property. Only by including title insurance in the transaction can these and many other requisites be' possible. “Title insurance Is now being used exclusively in several of the larger States. It is being used extensively in many communities throughout the Nation. In fact, in some locations it has taken the place of abstracts of title, and it is assumed because of the advantages it offers that this condition will some day exist throughout the United States. “That the people' of Indiana are fast realizing the necessity, convenience and importance of title insurance on property they already own or on property they purchased, is shown by the fact that the great majority of larger real estate transactions recently consummated have been taken out by developers of large subdivisions, thus protecting the individual purchasers of lots. “Title insurance coverage on homes and lots transferred * from one individual to another in Indianapolis is also on the increase.” TRI ART SHOW APRIL 8 "Once in a Blue Moon” to Be Staged at Little Theatre.

MOISTS DEMAND STURDY GARAGES Car-owners have found that it pays to provide a satisfactory garage in which to -house their automobiles against the elements and that a cheap, fijmsy garage which will not adequately protect their cars is a poor investment. To meet demands for such a garqge as would properly protect automobiles and .would come within the “pocketbook specifications” of the average car owner, the F. M. Backman Lumber Company, 1601 Madison Ave., experienced lumber dealers, have adopted specifications for a modern garage to be sold to the public on reasonable terms. The company decided to adopt the same general provisions for marketing the new garage as are observed in selling homes, a small down payment and term arrangements which make it convenient for car-owners to pay for the garage. Tile new garage is of frame construction, every part of which is made from selected lumber, a twocar type, very attractive feet and built on a good cement foundation. The exterior is of selected western fir, while the inside walls are covered with he;).vy insulating paper. Each garage is given a coat of paint. Two heavy sliding, glass-windowed doors, which are special, mill-made and hung with ninety-six bolts to assure non*sag results. The lower part of door is paneled while the upper part has small glass panes which admit plenty of light. An entrance service door on one side a small window also provide ventilation and light.
