SANTA DIRECTS TIMES WRITER TO JACK] FROST Finds Boy Artist Preparing for Indianapolis Trip, More Names. This is another of a series of stories Written by Holly Berry, special correspondent of The Times, who accomaied The Times polar expedition to the home of Santa Claus in EskimoJand. Polar Explorer Capt. F. E. Kleinschmidt and Berry obtained Santa’s permission to take moving pictures which will soon be in Indianapolis and shown to children here. / BY HOLLY BERRY KSveclal Correspondent of The Times in Eskimoland.) , NORTH POLEVILLE, Eskimoland, Nov. 29.—While Captain Kleinschmidt is developing the moving pictures we obtained today. I am going to tell you about meeting the most wonderful artist in the JworldMoving pictures of the event will be shown in Indianapolis theaters to Indianapolis boys and girls soon. They will be shipped by airplane Within a few days. Captain Kleinschmidt is working feverishly to get them completed as soon as possible. Santa Suggests Trip We had expected to spend a pretty quiet day after all the excitement we have had lately when as soon as our breakfast was over, Santa wiped his mouth with a snowy napkin, pushed back his big chair from the table and said: “Get your moving picture camera ready—we are going to visit a very dear friend of mine today and I’m sure you’ll want some movies of it to send back to Indianapolis.” You can imagine the scramble that followed. All of us had to rush to get warm furs, gloves and caps, besides hitching up the reindeer teams and getting the moving picture machine in readiness. Soon, however, we were on our way. An hour later we were on the edge of the Polar Sea, where a great glacier of jewel-like glass loomed into sight. Jack Was Cold Santa pointed to a figure perched on top of the floating mountain of fee. As it drew closer we saw it to be the figure of a boy, apparently about twelve years old. He was dressed in white furs from head to foot, leaving only a rosy face with large brown eyes visible. He scampered down from his lofty perch and came'to greet us. “Meet Jack Frost,” Santa said, “the greatest artist in the world!” Jack bowed politely and we shook hands all around- His hands were frightfully cold even through our thick gloves. “I might have missed you,” he said, “because I was just leaving to paint the world with frost pictures.” “Jack always goes out about this time of the year, so he has the world beautiful for my coming,” Santa explained. Jack, you know, paints pretty pictures on windows, trees and bushes and sometimes makes icicles tq. look like fairy faces. Semetimes.

2,000 POUNDS IS COAL TON HERE Little Short Weight Since Ordinance Was Adopted. Indianapolis householders are reasonably sure of getting a “2,000pound ton” of coal, says Chief Inspector Robert Hathaway of the city weights and measures department. Licensing of coal dealers, required by ordinance the past year, has greatly eliminated the “one-horse” coal peddlers who gave short weight, Hathaway said. “Snow birds,” the name given peddlers who bought coal in wagon Jpads and resold it, have been driven out by the license requirement. They were the most frequent violators of the weights law, Hathaway declared. “Most dealers give their customers a square deal. When I came here six years ago we had an average of two to four underweight cases a week. Now we scarcely find one a month,” he asserted. “Occasionally we find a wagon load is under weight about twentyfive pounds, but scales are likely to differ that much.” Four deputy inspectors, assigned to checking coal weights, start out in the morning and find a coal wagon on the street. The wagon is weighed on tested scales and reweighed after the coal is unloaded to get the net weight. Prosecution follows if there is sufficient shortage. FARMERS CHASE DEER Full-Grown Buck Escapes After Run of Miles A full-grown buck deer provided entertainment for farmers residing near Rawleigh, Ind., about forty miles southeast of Indianapolis, Sunday, motorists reported today.

In order to hold the lar i, she worked it herself, wrapping her two babies in blankets while she toiled. Often, she testified, she reached the children just in time to save them from rattlesnake attacks. Dirschauer returned after a long absence, the wife said, and now seeks to take the title to the homestead from her. He says she is cruel and nags him.

Boys Feel Sorry for Rat and Science Loses Out

Nutrition Experiment Fails at Seymour When Sympathy Rules. 3u Timesi Soecial SEYMOUR, Ind., Nov. 29.—Boys’ sympathy for a hungry rat thwarted the aims of science here. Two rats had been placed in a window downtown by Miss Esther Tress, Red Cross nutrition worker. One was to be given an improper diet, the other a proper menu. Boys detailed to feed the rats felt sorry for the one fated to waste away through lack of the right kind of food, so they slipped it as good rations as its companion. Instead of one of the rats losing flesh as science says it should, it seemed to be faring as well as its companion.
