BUSH ATTACKS MANY CHANGES IN JEXTBOOK Lieutenant-Governor-Elect Thinks Schools Bow to Whims. “What business has an 8-year-old boy lugging twelve textbooks to school?” This sentence was the final of the convention of the Indiana State Association of Township Trustees and the keynote of the morning session at the Claypool today. The remark was made by Trustee Orville T. Giltner, Huntington county, in commendation of a speech by Edgar D. Bush, Lieuten-ant-Governor-elect, in which Bush had pleaded for lessening of the number of textbooks, simplification of texts, and abandonment of the idea that textbooks must be changed every time some professor has a new educational whim. The trustees adopted a legislative program advocated in resolutions prepared by the legislative committee. The principal legislation favored: 1. Prevention of textbook changes every five years unless it is proved the text is obsolete. 2. Repeal of the teacher tenure l&w* 3. Abolition of township institutes and permission for counties to hire school supervisors to provide inspiration and instruction for teachers under certain limits. 4. Make the budget law apply to city schools as it does to township schools. 5. Increase in training requirement of elementary teachers to minimum of thirty-six weeks, with requirement that teachers continue to take eight weeks a year until seventy-two weeks are completed. 6. Reduce the burdensome number of funds trustees are required to handle. Otto K. Jensen of Arcadia was re-elected president. Edward Hoffman of Brazil was re-elected secre-tary-treasurer and George L. Hawkins of Muncie was elected vie*' president. BRITISH COMMISSION PRAISES CITY LIBRARY Declares It to Be One of Finest in World Today.

W. Sheppherd, deputy chairman of the Manchester library, and E. Vincent Harris, architect They are visiting libraries in a few of the larger cities of the United States to obtain ideas. They were profuse in their praise of the library here ranking it among the foremost in the world in architectural design and accomodation of patrons.

FRAT GIVES ORPHANS CHRISTMAS PARTY Delta Tau Delta Entertains FortyNine Orphans.

A Fraternity Badge Makes a good Christmas present. Therefore it should be a thing of beauty as well as a symbol of membership. That is the reason so many people cdme to us for their fraternity pins, club pins and novelty jewelry. They know that careful workmanship and the best quality material, combined with artistic shapes, are bound to produce beautiful pins. Let us show you. C. B.

There Is! The Town Is ‘Chuck’ Full of Santa Claus; Look and See!
BY ARCH STEINEL “IV yf" AMA! Mama! Look—look— IVI Santa Claus!” Nose smudged against the department store window on North Illinois street he crowded, pressed his very self into the window . Into the room of mechanical soldiers that strutted under the watchful eye of the be-whiskered old Chrlstmasy gent. He seemed to strut with those soldiers. Window pains! “Look—mama —Santa Claus!” he urged the futile face worn weary from tramping around store aisles. But her answer was broken by a sharp discord. An erudite urchin pushed his way between them with: “There ain’t no Santa Claus—.” The smudged nose against the window pane looked with disdain at the intruder and then queried his mother mentally: “Is *hat true.” No! it isn’t Smudged Nose. The whole world’s a Santa Claus. Come along let’s watch ’em. u tt tt SHOPPERS, shoppers and more shoppers with bundles and bundles looking for Christmas bargains for Santa. All brands of shop pars—“shovers,” the “eels”—pushing their way toward the ultimate goal, a full Christmas stocking for the Johrmys and the Mamies of Indianapolis. * tt tt SHE was old—old enough to be forced to click her tongue now and then against the plate of her false teeth, to keep them in place. “I declare did you ever see such sights as they’s got in the winders now. Come to shop for my niece’s youngun’s but just can’t seem to find what I want. Such a lot to be choosy from. There! Ain’t that doll cute. Didn’t have ’em like that when I was youngun’,” “Thck” went the false teeth and a pleased mutter, “Guess I’ll go right in now and get that doll ’fore they sell it out of the winder.” There’s more where that one came from, Grandma. Look! Smudged Nose there she goes off to help Santa. tt tt it INTO the “dime store” where the proletariats buy their wedding rings and the aristocrats their Christmas presents for “poor relation.” Beads for blondes, brunets, and the “indifferents” at the jewelry counter. A study in mob psychology here, for watch a moment — Now there’s two or three looking at those "heartache” rings—the make-believe diamonds. See there’s more join them. Now some are leaving and—now they’re all gone. But wait—the bead counter has the crowd and now—now they’re gone Gone to the candy counter. Sorto “follow the leader” or—one bee sees a flower and down comes the swarm to see what they can see —and maybe take the flower’s honey away with them. Christmas bees buzzing of the best place to buy this, where you c&n exchange that, will “Susan like this.” Working for Santa Claus, Smudged Nose. tt tt st “t WANT two yards of that roseJL bud trimming your selling at ten cents a half-yard,” ordered the muskrat coat with a Rolls-Royce air. Hotsy-totsy class varnishes anyone within radius of her being. “These rosebuds will stay together won't they?” she queries of the yawning clerk. “Yes-sum.” Rolls-Royce whisks out. “Bet she’s going to decorate a bunch of garters with those buds, give the garters to her friends and say she made them,” offers the clerk. | No bet. tt *„}* SO it goes, Smudged Nose! “Let me sep that train.” “How do these Diiechanical toys work, clerk?” “Would a ping-pong set do for a boy U-years-old?” “I got my girl one like that’n with the blue rompers on.” “Ain’t that toy dog too cute for words.” Through the city’s streets they mill until they’re ready to drop from, sheer exhaustion, hunting samples of Santa’s handicraft to take home to their own Smudged Noses that have looked longingly in window panes and said”; Mama— Papa—tell Santa to bring me that.” Is there a Santa Claus? Why Indianapolis is ‘chuck’ full of him, Smudged Nose! CLAUER RITES SET Mother of Secretary to Indians to Be Buried Friday. Funeral rites for Mrs. Mary G.

BOLIVIA WANTS ‘SATISFACTIONS PARIiUATER ABC Powers Take Steps to Avert War in South America. Bit United Press \ LA PAZ, Bolivia, Dec. 13.—Bolivia demanded “satisfaction” from Paraguay in a note today answering Secretary Kellogg’s invitation to have the Pan-American conference mediate the Paraguayan-Bolivian boundary crisis. The Bolivian note, which was signed by President Siles and Foreign Minister Palacios, said that after the “satisfaction” Bolivia would be ready to follow along the lines of internatoinal mediation policy. The note said that Bolivia considered that Paraguay had attacked Bolivian dignity and sovereignty by military force in a sudden and unexpected aggression. ABC Powers Act By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The ABC powers—Argentina, Brazil and Chile—have initiated negotiations seeking to avert war between Bolivia and Paraguay, according to Information reaching delegates at the Inter-American conciliation conference here today. This revelation followed announcement .that Paraguay had brought officially to the attention of the state department and the conference charges that Bolivia is massing troops and munitions on the Paraguayan frontier. The notes suggested that this alleged concentration made war between the two South American countries more imminent. Despite this ominous note of tension, Secretary of State Kellogg, chairman of the conference, held today that the Paraguayan-Bolivian situation is less acute. He announced that he had been informed that Argentina would not object to any action which might be taken by the inter-American conference to prevent war. Bolivian minister Diez de Medina told the United Press massing of troops would be natural and a purely defensive measure against further possible attacks from Paraguay.

This bevy of snappy aressers, ladles and gentlemen, might have walked out of a Floradora, only the show is named “Henpeck Holler Gossip,” and it was fjjven Tuesday night instead of last century. The cast, members of the auxiliary of the Indianapolis branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers, presented the show before the association at the Denison. Left to right above they are Mrs. F. J. Hildebrand, 2952 North Delaware street; Mrs. V. B. McKenzie, 1414 Gale street; Mrs. L. D. Wadsworth, 435 Harvard place; Mrs. J. E.

Do You like to drive * ▼ ▼ on a' da sty road? two-thirds of all of the antomobile traffic in our state occurs on the 5,000 miles of the state road system. Little more than a third of this mileage is paved. The rest is surfaced with crashed rock and gravel—and is always dusty in dry weather. This creates serious danger when traffic is heavy, as well as almost unbearable conditions in the homes along the road. To keep these dusty roads in fairly passable condition costs large sums which should be devoted to laying modern paving. The cost of improving and maintaining these roads is paid wholly by the motor vehicle owners, through the tax on gasoline, and the license fees. No property taxes are levied for state roads. Consequently, it is entirely up to the motor vehicle owners to say how fast the pavements shall be extended on the state roads. At the present rate of progress, the state system will not be paved until 1945, By increasing the average license fee $5.00 enough money will be provided to complete the pavement by 1933 only five years hence. This would end the dust nuisance on the state roads. It would reduce the cost of automobile operation—so much as to make the increased license fee pay big dividends. It will reduce the present high cost of road upkeep —which can only keep the roads “passable” at best. m m m m Think that over! Talk with your representative* m the Legislature about ill Indiana needs more paved roads! memo Indiana Goad Roads Association Illinois Building Indianapolis, Indiana
FARM BUREAUS ASK U. S. RULE ON MARKETING Federation Also Seeks Tax and Import Policy by • Government. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 13. dealing with a national policy for agriculture, federal and state taxation, importation of sugar and cooperative marketing were adopted by the American Farm Bureau Federation in the closing session of its tenth annual meeting here. A resolution covering a national policy for agriculture asserted control of agricultural surpluses is the dominant economic question facing the nation. The resolution cited the belief of the organization that the two majot legislative problems of surplus control and agricultural tariffs should be considered by a special session oi congress promised by President Elect Hoover. The federation urged that the situation regarding entry of suga" into the United States be brought to the attention of congress with the proposal to place a limit on free entry from the Phillippines and guarantee reasonable protection to
the domestic sugar industry, and that the tariff rate against all foreign sugar be increased.” Regarding the tariff, a resolution was adopted which calls for adequate duty on foreign grown farm commodities “to permit farmers of this country to enjoy that profit which guarantees the American standard of living.”
