Factional politicians were declaring: “I’ve got my desk cleaned out, ready to go.” Employes were undecided as to Whether to go ahead or “wait for a shake-up.” Slack was reading a newspaper in his office when first informed by The Times he had been named the city’s executive Tuesday afternoon. Given News Over Phone Slack had returned from Morgantown, where he attended a bankrupt sale. First word that lie was being considered was received when a friend called over the phone and told him council had nominated him and that he had four votes on one ballott.

The word flashed over the city and scores of friends called by phone to,extend congratulations to the new mayor, according to Miss Anne Cunningham, secretary to Slack. Frederick Van Nuys and William L. Elder were the first visitors. 'Tve been awfully busy, but I am tickled, anyway I haven’t had time to powder my nose for three hours,” she said. Sworn in by Boyce After being snapped at his desk, Slack went to city council chamber, accompanied by Howard Robertson, an insurance man, and Harmon Snoke of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. There he was sworn in by Boyce. At 4:24 p. m. Tuesday Slack became mayor of Indianapolis, succeeding Council President Claude E. Negley, mayor pro tern., in the presence of a small group of councilmen, spectators, and newspaper reporters and photographers. Slack was greeted warmly by Negley when he entered the council chamber. “We’ll get along all right,” Slack told Negley. i “I’m still president of the council and will be glad to cooperate with you,” Negley said. Keys Turned Over Slack, Negley, Boyce and a few spectators, including some city officials, went to the mayor’s office at 4:30 p. m., when Negley turned over the keys to the office. Claude C. McCoy, council sergeant-at-arms, went with Slack to the executive’s office. “You probably remember that I

SAYS HAIRCUT CAUSES INFERIORITY COMPLEX Barbers Asked to Give Children Trims Without Charge. Indianapolis barbers soon may arm themselves with scissors in a fight against child inferiority complexes, says Otto Ewert, Chicago, national president of the Barbers' union. “Some sainted barber read passages written by Freud one day and conceived the idea that the inferiority complex in a child is directly traceable to ill-kempt hair,” said Ewert. The child looked funny and his playmates jibed and jeered at him. Childish memories are always carried to later life and many a man could trace his failure of success to his hair cuts when he was a child. As an incentive to a better haircut for children, Ewert has asked local barbers to give free haircuts to all children under seventeen. The local union took the matter under advisement.
