STATE PARKS MSELECTED FOR SCENERY Tourists Urged to See America First by Looking Over Indiana. BAN CIVILIZED MARKS Effort Made to Retain All Primitive Features of Country. ‘ Sec America by touring Indiana first” is ;he advice Conservation Director R ichard Lieber offers to motoring Hoosierdom and tourists from out of the state. He points, out that almost everything the United States has to offer in the way of scenic delights >can be found in one or another of the State parks. Miniature mountains, beautiful canyons, lakes, falls and woods are all to be found without crossing the State’s border line. Well Defined Folicy Lieber has developed a well-de-fined policy regarding the parks and eets it forth as follows: “A State park in Indiana consits of an area of natural landscape, largely woodea and preferably having within its boundaries unusual scenic features. The area should not be less than 500 acres. Accessibility by automobile is indispensable and a railroad or interurban running to or near the park is desirable. “The park having been designated, the problem of development begins. Not the planting of flowers in geometrical beds, no ornamentation with whitewashed boulders and ironmongers’ statuary, not whitewashed tree trunks nor driveways other than for utility. The task is to make available to the public the beauties and sights of the area, preferably on foot, without despoiling the natural landscape. Landscape cannot be appreciated and studied intimately from an automobile. The greatest return in health and pleasure is found by walking, stopping at will to value and contemplate the many attractions that are offered. One real motive in visiting such a park is relief from the hustle and hurry and ugliness attendant upon our so-called civil■ization.” * Summary of Attractions Continuing, the conservation director points out the need for good water supply and reasonable hotel accommodations, all of which are obtainable in the various State reserves. A fine summary of the attractions can be found in a booklet containing a State map and descriptions of various parks issued by the conservation department and obtainable free at the Statehouse. There is Pokagon State park, with Potawatomie Inn., the newest and finest of the park hotels. It is located near Angola, Ind., on the banks of Lake James, the second largest body of water in the State and headwaters for a chain of twenty neighboring lakes. The park covers over 700 acres of i oiling landscape, typical of the northeastern lake country Cuts Can-yon in Cliffs The Dunes comprises two thousand acres of primitive, beautiful, historical and amazingly unique Hoosier landscape. It lies in Porter County and includes three miles of the Lake Michigan shore line. McCormick’s Creek is a 385-acre park, through which the creek runs cutting a great canyon, 100 feet deep, in the limestone cliffs. It is a wooded spot in Owen County, on the edge of the quarry country. A primitive forest typifies Turkey Run, where hundreds of guests return annually to enjoy the great f out-of-doors. Here are ample hotel facilities and 750 acres of the beautiful landscape for which Sugar Creek country is famous. Clifty Falls Park At Clifty Falls is found the Ohio River valley at its finest. From the headlands of the park one is given a sweeping panorama of the Indiana and Kentucky hill country. Clifty Inn is situated on a steep slope, 400 feet above the river, and its front porch commands a view unexcelled. Here as elsewhere there are numerous interesting foot trails.

Not So Bad Condemned as Boy by Teacher, Man, at 25, Heads Schools.

It it Times Special i- 1 ECATUR, Ind., Aug. 19. r\ —Twelve years ago a I 1 teacher in a Decatur school said to Robert Falk, “you’ll never amount to anything.” Today Falk, 25, is superintendent of the city schools of Tripp, S. D., one of the youngest men in the United States holding such a position. The opinion of the local teacher about the blackhaired boy twelve years ago was concurred in by most of the residents in the north part of Decatur. Young Falk was a member of the “North End Gang” that made things lively in his part of the city. Ten years ago, after the death of his mother, Falk went to Yankton, S. D„ to live with an uncle. He was graduated from high school there, attended Yankton college and became known as a stellar basketball player. Later he was athletic director of a school near Yankton.

Bp United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The New York police war on crime claimed the lives of two innocent bystanders this week. Gunfire intended for a bandit killed a 9-year-old girl Thursday and earlier in the week a middleaged business man was slain. The child victim was returning from a motion picture show with her aunt, and pretending to the elderly woman’s amusement that she was the heroine, when Salvatore Mileto, otherwise known as “Sally Cheesecake,” scuttled past them. Two detectives and two patrolmen hove in sight, firing as they ran. The medical examiner later removed a 38-calibre police bullet from the dead child’s brain. “Cheesecake,” wanted for a double murder in Westchester in 1925, was captured after he hid been wounded in the neck and thigh. Samuel Golden was killed when police commandeered his car to cha; James Morton and Thelma Butts, automobile thief suspects. Homicide charges against them were dismissed when Officer Leddon testified a ricocheting bullet from his revolver could have killed Golden. Shuman Assests Innocence Bp Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 19. Henry A. Shuman, Lapel, returned here from Macon, Ga., to face a charge of obtaining $640 from the Wellington Milling Company by false pretense, asserts his innocence and also declares his accounts as president of the Madison County Farm Bureau will reveal no shortage.

Model Airplane in Test Flight Goes 300 Feet Mortimer Wohlfeld of 2819 Washington Blvd., is a strong contender for the senior championship in the model flying tournament to be held by city recreation officials and The Times next Wednesday. In a test flight this week, Wohlfeld’s Diane went 300 feet. Instead of the wood specified in the*articles published in The Times, Wohlfeld used gum, which he coated with banana oil. He contends that this is easier to obtain and equally light. Any lumber yard can supply It sawed to measure for a small sum. For the angle pieces in the wings, he took an old market basket, and clipped out strips with a pair of scissors. Rice paper, purchased at a local bookstore, is used on the wings of his plane. In winding, Wohlfeld finds it is best to pull the rubber out to nearly three times its normal length, and wind steadily to prevent kinks. It is liable to break if it kinks up, he declares. What luck have you had with your model? Be sure and have it in good shape for the tournament next Wednesday at 4:30 p. m. in Willard Park.

POLICE REPORT TEN AUTOS ARE STOLEN DAILY Thieves Take 2,129 Cars in First Seven Months in 1927. MOST ARE RECOVERED Average Ages of Bandits Range Between 16 and 23, Says Officer. Ten automobiles a day was the average of auto thief activities for the first seven months of this year. But 93 per cent of the stolen autos were recovered, police department records show'. Two thousand, one hundred and twenty-nine autos were stolen in the seven months endir* July 31, while 1,914 were stolen in the corresponding period last year. Recover More Cars. On the other hand, 1,959 autos were recovered this year, compared to 1,423 last year, an increase of 20 per cent. “The average ages for auto bandits are between 16 and 23 years, when the youths want a car for a joyride with their best girl,” DeFred T. Simon said. "Very few cars are stolen with the idea of keeping permanently. Usually they are found abandoned in out-of-the-way places, where the thieves had wrecked or stripped them of the accessories,” Simon said. Hold 150 As Thieves. One hundred and fifty persons were arrested for vehicle taking during the first seven months. This is an increase of twenty eight over last year’s arrests of 129. “Carelessness of drivers, who leave their cars unlocked for a long period of time, is the cause of the greater portion of cars being stolen,” Simon said. “Leaving keys in the cars also accounts for many stolen autos. If owners would use greater precaution, our stolen car total would not be a third so high. - ’ CITY SCHOOLS CALLED UNFIT Survey of Portable Buildings Will Result. Resolutions adopted by the Indianapolis Engineering Society Thursday will result in a survey of portable school buildings by the I State Health department. The resolutions condemned the portable buildings as unfit and unsanitary, pointing out that many cases of eye strain had resulted from pupils being housed in them and in some instances toilet facilities are inadequate. Dr. William F. King, State Health Department secretary, announced that upon reception of the resolutions a survey would be instituted. This is the procedure under the xoard rules. -'The Engineering Society contends that State Health Board rules, limiting the use of portable buddings to two years and requiring proper light, ventilation and sanitation are being violated. The board may extend the two-year limit when'it is shown that due to financial conditions or other handicaps it is imposisble to dispense with the use of portables, Dr. King declared. O f P thl ld T n w Theodore F- Vonnegut of the Indianapolis School Board did not attempt to defend the use of portables. He asserted that every effort was being made to provide an adequate building program, but that !u Cr t. Was u continual opposition by ShiIChan 1 Chan l ber of Commerce and the Indiana Taxpayers Association. LIVED IN CITY 45 YEARS Private funeral services will be held Saturday at 10 a. m. at the Vehling funeral parlors, 702 Virginia Ave., for Mrs. Mary B.

Rain Fails to Dampen Spirits of Boy Scouts’ Camp Near Laivrence

Above, left to right): Howard Wheeler, John Moore and Paul Scheuring, engaged in leather work, and Delbert Heusing, caning a foot stool. Below: Richard Schugert and Harry Zaiser, leveling a garden bench, Charles Shields and Leonard Schugert taking cement flower pot from the mold.

Wet Weather Activities Are as Interesting as Outdoor Sports. When it rains, it pours, says the proverb. Well, let it rain, and let it pour, say the Boy Scoutc encamped at i the scout cainp N [near Lawrence, Ind., for rainy days hold no unpleasantness for them. The Boy Scouts organization is affiliated with the Community Fund. There are plenty of interesting things to do within the tents, within the crafts building, and. naturally, the interest in the huge mess hall never abates one iota! Rainy day activities, in fact, have been some of the most enjoyable the boys have had through the summer periods. To foregather in some scout's tent and listen to lively tales while the rain keeps up a cheerful accompaniment, is a joy that the average city-confined boy misses away from the companionship of the “fellows.” Water Sports Go On Os course, the water sports go right on, because if you’re going to get wet retail, you might just as well do it wholesale. In fact, on a rainy day, the generally accepted mods of dress is a bathing suit. The alternative is the suit of khaki trunks, regulation shirt and kerchief, and a bulky cape-like rain coat that slips on over a fellow's head and keeps him snugly dry. On a rainy day at camp, however, the real place of attraction is the crafts’ building. A good many extra licks can be put in to advantage on the numerous and interesting articles that are made there. The craft work goes on in good weather as well as bad, of course, but on rainy days the crafts building is turned into an especially jolly place to be. Sounds of hammering, chiseling, scraping, and the queer little noise that caning makes, reverberate cheerfully through the small building. A glance inside shows a, score or more of boys busily engaged with various crafts. In this corner, for instance, is a large group of cement garden furniture, some of it freshly turned out of its mold. A cement bench being expertly evened off with a leveling trowel is one of a number of these attractive pieces. Bird baths and flower boxes are among some of the other cement pieces. Cabinet Making Nearby is a table on which wood is being fashioned into foot stools, tables, cabinets and benches, which will later be stained for use. Next to it, a group of boys are working on light and dark leathers, making such interesting things as belts, billfolds, ax and knife sheaths, many of them curiously studded with brass nail heads and embossed with a color design. Metal craft is another favorite and out of its study have come some beautiful hanging lanterns and more plebiean aritcles such as pin trays. In another place, the stools and benches fashioned of wood are being caned, some with rough fiber, and some in intricate designs of narrow caning. Basketry and wood carving take their place in the crafts work, as well as automobiling, the study of engine structure and make, and blacksmithing. On rainy days when the weather

is not too severe the regular camp craft goes on with pioneering, nature study, first aid and the track meets and other athletic activities. Around Fireplace. The usual close of a camp day is the huge campfire out of doors in the evening, around which the boys and visitors gather for songs and rallying. But, when it rains, the campfire is made in the big fireplace in the mess hall, and after the rally is over and taps have sounded, the scouts so the all-kinds-

Cnpid Nets 10 Per Cent Clear on Year’s Business

Audit of Love Magnate’s Books Shows Trade Holds Up. Dan Cupid and Company did business at the old stand in Indiana during 1926 on a ten per cent basis, according to an audit of the love magnate's books just completed by the United State Department of Commerce. There were 40,409 marraiges in the State during the year and 7,690 divorces were granted. The marriage figure is 12.9 per one thousand of population. The divorce figure is 246 per thousand. Leaving a net “clear” of approximately ten per cent. Marriages increased 9.7 per cent over the preceding year, while divorce statistics showed a gain of only three per cent, according to the Government's figures. Cupid dropped off several per cent in Marion County during 1926 There were 3,775 marriages, 104 fewer than the year before, and 1,347 - divorces and twenty-five annulments, a total of six fewer wrecked romances during the year than during the preceding year. Lake County, with 6,422 marriages, almost double the Marion County figure, leads all the counties of the State. There were only 483 divorces to mar this record. SEIZE LOOT IN CAR Auto Laden With Perfume, Wrist Watches and Silverware. An auto laden with perfume, wrist watches and silverware, believed taken in some store burglary, was seized by police early today. Patrolman Roy Reeves, who found the car near West and Michigan Sts., said the man who parked the car and went into a near by store, ran when he returned and saw the officer near the auto. Two twentysix piece sets of silverware, five ladies wrist watches and ninety-two vials of perfume were in the auto. MEDICINE SHOW CLOSED Letter From Assistant City Attorney Fails to Save Owner.

SPURN STOP LIGHTS Twenty-Two Arrested for Failure to Observe Signals. Police motorcycle officers parked in hiding places near traffic “sV>p and go” signals Thursday night JTrested twenty men and two women who speeded by without honoring the red lights. Other traffic arrests included one driver for having more than three passengers in the driver seat, one truck driver for driving on a boulevard and four alleged speeders. SHUMAKER TO APPEAL TO U.S. SUPREME COURT Tribunal Must Decide If Sentence Is Violation of Constitution. Final effort to defeat the $250 fir* and sixty-day State farm imprisonment sentence imposed on Superintendent Edward S. Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League for contempt of the Indiana Supreme Court was being made today by Attorney James Bingham Sr. in preparing appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. The dry chief spent several hours before the State court Thursday while Bingham presented oral argument on motions in arrest of judgment, for anew trial and to modify sentence. All were opposed by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, who instituted the contempt proceedings, and over-ruled by the court. Appeal Is Planned. Although asserting that in the State’s opinion there is no Federal question involved in the case, Gilliom approved the request of Shumaker counsel for time to prepare the United States Supreme Court appeal. The SI,OOO bond was continued and Shumaker will reappear in court Oct. 5, when Jesse E. Martin, league trustee, who was also held in contempt will be sentenced. Report on the appeal will be made at that time. Judges Willard B. Gemmill and Clarence R. Martin, authors of the dissenting opinion holding Shumaker not guilty of contempt, dissented in the overruling of the motions in arrest of judgment and for new trial, and took no part in the overruling of motion to modify. Writ of error will be filed with the State court in perfecting Federal appe:< or a writ of certiorari from the United States Supreme Court will be sought, Bingham said. This must be accomplished within sixty days, under the law. Up to U. S. Court It is up to the United States Supreme Court to decide whether or not there has been a violation of the Federal constitutional right of freedom of speech and press, or curtailment of liberty without due process of law. These points will form the basis of the appeal. In Gilliom’s opinion, and also in the opinion expressed by Judge David A. Myers in writing the majority report holding Shumaker guilty, no such constitutional question is involved. Should the highest court find this to be true, no further relief may be sought except a pardon or parole from Governor Jackson. GIVE BALL FOR LEGION French to Receive Americans in Famous Opera House. Howard P. Savage, national American Legion commander, was informed by cable from the national adjutant, James F.

ville, Ind. The two boys are not related. He used a knife to turn the ignition switch of the cars he stole, Frank Brown said. Then Carl and a third boy would join him and they would go for a three or four-hour joy ride into the country, abandoning the cars back In the city early the next morning. ‘The pool room gang” of the two men who had done time seemed to steal their cars for joy rides so easily he tried it, the youth said. But they never took girls on the joy rides, both boys declared. “Don’t tell my mother. It would kill her,” was Carl Brown’s plea. Detective Chief Fred T. Simon said the boys admitted taking tires fvom several of the autos. Police are hunting the third boy.

BUILDERS OF NEW SCHOOLS FINISH WORK Four Structures Costing City $1,400,000 Nearly Completed. ADDITIONS ARE MADE Officials Expect 57,000 Pupils When Doors Open on Sept. 12. Finishing touches are being rushed on four new Indianapolis school buildings and two new additions costing nearly $1,400,000, in preparation for opening of school, Sept. 12. Two of the new buildings are high schools, Crispus Attucks Negro High School, at Twelfth and West Sts., costing approximately $550,000, and accommodating 1,500 pupils, Washington High School, at W. Washington St. and Sheffield Ave., costing approximately $450,000 and accommdoating 1,200 pupils. The two new grade schools are both Negro schools, No. 42, at Twenty-Fifth and Rader Sts., costing approximately $165,000, and accommodating 840 pupils, and Negro Orphans’ Home School, at TwentyFifth St. and Keystone Ave., with the same cost and capacity. A six-room addition has been built at No. 62, Tenth and Wallace Sts., costing $35,000 and accommodating ! 250 pupils, and a four-room addition |at No. 75, Fourteenth and Mount Sts., costing $30,000 and accommodating 175 pupils. Expect 57,000 Pupils School officials are making preparations for an enrollment of approximately 57,000 pupils this fall. Enrollment in the city schools has shown an average increase of 1,200 annually, and luture planning is necessary tokeep up with this increase. One of the reasons for increased cost of maintaining city schools here is shown by a summary of enrollment since the year 1900, school officials said. In that year the total enrollment was 27,334 of which 25,083 were grade pupiis and 2,251 high school pupils. By 1910 the total number enrolled was 33,637, and by 1920 tho number had reached 48.245, with i 8,049 enrolled in high schools. Enrollment last year was 56,144, ; of which 43,781 were grade school : pupils and 12,363 high school pupils. More Go to High School While the total enrollment has slightly more than doubled in the past twenty-six years, the high school enrollment has increased five and one-hall times. A high school course is many times more expensive than a grade course. Phenomenal increase in the high school enrollment, which has necessitated building of the two new schools to be opened this fall, and the new Shortridge building under construction, is due largely, school officials declare, to the wider variety of subjects taught, including vocational work, and a broader appreciation of the value of high school education. FRENCH PLAN PAGEANT Historical Show to Be Given for Legion Guests.
