TAX BUDGET REQUESTS AT 75-CENT MARK Controller Plans to Cut Departments to Reach Figure of 1929. City Controller Sterling R. Holt today faced the problem of cutting approximately $688,500 from departmental request* In the 1930 budget to keep the rate down to the 1929 figure. The fax rate for the general fund, from which all departments except the park, sanitary and health boards draw, would reach 75 cents on each SIOO of assessed property in Indianapolis, according to 1930 budget requests. Holt said. Attempts will be made, however, the controller stated, to cut the general fund rate to the 1929 amount, 53.5 cent*, in order o hold the city tax rate under sl.lO, last year's rate. A $72,000,000 increase in assessable property valuation since 1919 has not lowered the city tax. Holt s.t.a.ted, since special levis such as flood prevention and war memorial have necessitated higher tax rates.

When a a unknown motor car sets out —as Chrysler did— the leadership of a great industry, and with the speed of a meteor, sweeps to a foremost position in popularity and sales, it must possess extraordinary quality and ability. Certainly no other motor car has come so swiftly, *o impressively, to the front in such a remarkably short time as Chrysler has come. When the first Chrysler car was placed on exhibition five years ago, the whole industry looked in imminent at what Walter P. Chrysler had accomplished. Within four years, Chrysler bad leaped to third place in the industry. How has Chrysler dooe it? What is the secret of this success? Simply that Chrysler gave in the

‘Mother Arlington, Cashier for Years at Riverside, Knows Children

Little Change Office at Riverside Park Is Presided Over by a Very Great Character, MRS. FRANCIS ARLINGTON. 1210 West Thirtieth street, known to thousands of persons in Indianapolis as “Mother Arlington," last Sundav celebrated her nineteenth year as a cashier at Riverside amusement park, where she presides in the little change office of the penny arcade. Her smiling, motherly face is perhaps known to more youngsters than any other in this city, for what youngster has not been to the big amusement park and wandered through the big building where mechanical marvels respond to the dropping of a penny. And some of the grownups, who came to “Fennyiar.d as kids, still

drop in to chat wtih the kindly lady of the “How many? booth.” Riverside employs during the summer scores of young women who act as cashiers in the ticket offices of the many rides and other fun devices, and “Mother” Arlington ranks as a sort of dean of women at the big fun spot. To her are brought the troubles of the younger set at the park, and her advice and consolation have been sought constantly. A mother confessor is “Mother" Arlington at Riverside. When Mrs. Arlington came to Riverside nineteen years ago. the fun park consisted simply of the thriller, the skating rink and a row of concessions stretching along Thirtieth .street, and it was in the

ticket office of the thriller that ‘ Mother" first began asking the Indianapolis public “How many, please?" After several years there, she was transferred to the penny arcade, where she has since sold millions of pennies. Rather than be separated from her pet. parrot during the long hours spent each day during the summer at the park. Mrs. Arlington has brought Polly to Riverside this season and he has been comfortably installed in an apartment in the monkey house but a short distance from the penny arcade, where Mrs. Arlington can hear his chatter and cries of “Mother, Mother.” Mrs. Arlington served for some

beginning—each year since has given increasingly —and today gives in still greater measure —not only a finer grade of basic quality but a higher order of performance, beauty, sty'le, power, acceleration, safety, comfort all at most reasonable prices. * Such sweeping success must prove inevitably to the buyer of a Chrysler car today that he can count on the most advanced, the soundest, the safest and the most satisfying motor transportation his money can command. Let us prove these facts in a demonstration. CHRYSLIR “75”—51535 to sl79s—Eight Body Styles CHRYSLER “65”—51040 to $1145 —Six Body Styles All trices f. g. b. factory.

Mrs. Francis Arlington time as a. matron in the Marion county sheriff's office and also as a matron at dances for the city. During the World war she took an active part in relief work for the soldiers stationed at the fort, and was custodian of the “sugar bowl,” which • she kept in her little office at Riverside. This little bond was started off with a. content, of five dollars, and loans were made from it to soldiers who became stranded at the park and had no carfare to reach Ft. Harrison. These advances were invariably returned by the soldiers on pay day, and Mrs. Arlington recalls that, on the date of the departure of the Tenth Infantry, a soldier who owed the sugar bowd fifteen cents came to her home at 3 o'clock the morning of the regiment's leaving to pay the debt, saying he could not go to the front with a clear conscience if he did not sa.uare things with the bowl. * Other theaters today . offer: “Noams Ark" at the Apoiio; The Great Pasha at Broad Ripple; “Dangerous Curves” at the Indiana; “Drag" at the Circle; “The Rainbow Man" at the Ohio; “Fancy Baggage" at the Lyric, and, movies at the Colonial.
