SCHOOL TOWEL QUESTION STIRS j KERN’S WRATH Sterilize 'Em at Home Is Advice Offered by [ ' Commissioner. Charles W. Kern, school commissioner, hasn’t much use for “all this talk” about sanitation, it developed at the school board meeting Tuesday night. The discussion started with suggestion of Superintendent Charles r. Miller that Indianapolis modernise its elementary school system by installing paper towels in school buildings, so pupils can wash their hands. None of the grade schools is given towels or soap, some principals providing rags instead of towels, Miller said. •‘I saw a set of pictures passed around in one schoolroom and by the time the pictures got back to the teacher, they were almost black from grimy little hands,” President Theodore F. Vonnegut said. Bosh, Says Kern A motion that cost of placing the towels in all grade schools be investigated was passed, with Kern voting a vigorous “nay.” “Anri I mean no,” he said. “A lot of this talk about sanitation is bosh. If you would follow out all these hygienic rules, you would have to sterilize a door handle before you opened the door, because someone else had touched it. “Children should be sufficiently sterilized at home in the morning to last all day.” The board elected Carl W. Eurton to succeed Jacob H. Hilkene, resigned, as building and grounds superintendent. Eurton, assistant to Hilkene for three years, has been acting superintendent for several weeks. Frank Osier, a school engineer, was named Eurton’s assistant. Appointment of Eurton and Osier was recommended in a letter from the Indianapolis Engineering Society. Gets Salary Increase Eurton’s salary was fixed at $5,000 and Osier’s at $3,600 a year. As assistant, Eurton was paid $4,200. Two delegations from Irvington and Brightwood were heard, asking improved branch libraries. Spokesman for the Irvington delegation was George S. Cottman, 336 North Ritter avenue. The Rev. Victor B. Hargitt, 2414 Station street, represented the Brightwood Civic League. “Out in Irvington we are more interested in books than in most any other section of the city, yet we have the second worst branch library building in the city,” Cottman said.

SHERWOOD COMEDY ON PLAYHOUSE LIST Little Theatre to Open Its Season Here by Presenting ‘Queen’s Husband’ for an Entire Week. , BY WALTER D. HICKMAN TO break a time record is one method of attracting the American public's attention, but Robert Emmett Sherwood did not write "The Queen’s Husband” in the remarkable space of two weeks for that reason. After writing “The Road to Rome,” it would not be hard for him to get any one’s attention, anyway. Sherwood spends his life in a typically American fashion, but even that is not the complete reason why “The Queen’s Husband” was conceived and dashed off into manuscript form in two weeks’ time. His days are American, because of the amount and intensity of their activity. While this play was being written, Sherwood continued his editorial

duties as the editor of Life, wrote his motion picture criticisms for the syndicate for which he writes, as well as for his own publication, and even attended daily rehearsals for his play, “The Love Nest,” which also meant altering and revising its script almost daily. No, this is how the record of playwriting came about. Into the editorial sanctum of “Life” there appeared one day the actor, Roland Young, with the challenge-query, “Why, dont you do me a play,.Bob?” Young continued with the explanation that Arthur Hopkins, the producer, was looking for a play for him and would give anything playable a chance. Sherwood then brought to light an idea which had germinated shortly before as dramatic nucleus, but which he had considered even in its embryonic stage with regard to a different actor. He soon changed his mind after talking with Young, however, who was wildly enthusiastic about the “idea.” In fact, Mr. Young persuaded the busy editor to begin the first act that night. He also stayed up most of the two following nights, to finish the act, which was immediately hurried over to Hopkins. Htpkins, contrary to his usual wont, read the opening portion of the new play and was eager to receive the remainder. The next two weeks were frpnzied ones for Sherwood, and equally so for Young, who “parked on his trail” constantly until the play was finished, following him to his office, to lunch, to his home at dinner time. The comedy was finished and whicked off to Mr. Hopkins, but that well-known producer was busy rehearing Pauline Lord’s new play and could not read the finished script until several days later. To take the play to Messrs. Wm. A. Brady Jr., and Dwight D. Wiman was timidly suggested, and immediately acted upon. That was Friday, we are told, when the playwright turned out “The Queen’s Husband” and Brady and Wiman received it. On Monday, the play was cast and met for its first rehearsal under the direction of John Cromwell. It opened at the Providence opera house, Providence, R. 1., on January 16, 1928, and had its New York premiere at the Playhouse, on January 25, 1928, where its amusing satire and intelligent wit made it one of the popular runs of last season “The Queen’s Husband” was opened at the Cort theater, Chicago, on September 17, 1928. “The Queen’s Husband” will bo seen for the first time in Indian-

ASSAILS HOOVER FLOOD STAND Joe Robinson on Way to Indiana From St. Louis. Bit United Press EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., Oct. 31.~ Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic vice-presidential nominee, was en route to Evansville, Ind., today, after an address here in which he declared Herbert Hoover changed front on federal responsibility in flood control expense. He charged Hoover received immense popularity on his tour of investigation of Mississippi valley flood conditions through his championship of the cause of flood sufferers but that when he returned to Washington he reversed his attitude and joined others in insisting local interests should assume a large part of flood prevention and control expense. “The only explanation of Hoover’s change of front is that being a member of the President’s cabinc! and having acted in some sense as an agent of the President, he readily surrendered his own views and acquiesced in the President’s proposals that flood works shall be regarded as joint responsibility of the state and of the federal government,” Robinson said.
