BRITISH TROOPS STRUGGLE WITH ANGERED HINDUS Injury List in India Rises as Gandhi Followers Protest Arrest. BY FRANCIS LOW Vnlted Prit*s Staff Correspondent BOMBAY. May 7.—The injur} list mounted today as Indian passions rose in protest against the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi and th< passive resLstance campaign for Indian independence turned into ar orgy of violence. Reports from important center such as Delhi and Calcutta, anc from other points in India, wan that more than 150 persons were injured in outbreaks following Gandhi's arrest, at least three of their seriously. British officials, meanwhile, kepi a close watch on the country, and maintained troops at strategic points to break up groups of demonstrators as quickly as they assembled. Attempts to preserve peace caused most of the clashes, since the Indians almost universally refused tc budge without casting a few stones in the direction of the soldiers. The hartal, or religious strike, which Gandhi’s followers called throughout India in protest against his imprisonment, especially was successful here. Seventy thousand mill hands ceased work completely Wednesday and forced temporary closing of forty-one mills. Bombay is tense. At Allahabad evidences began to appear that the bitter feeling between the Gandhi followers and Moslems there might lead to some action shortly. Troops in Clash Itu T'nitrd Prryg CALUCTTA, India, May 7. Troops clashed with revolutionary bands on the bank of the River Karnafult, opposite Chittagong, today, killing four of the insurgents.

Sergius P. Grace HOUSEWORK SCORNED 8Y SOUTHERN GIRLS New Orleans Pupils Ignore Tradition; Careers Are Preferred. Bn t nited Pres* NEW ORLEANS, May 7.—The old southern tradition that girls should be homebodies with no other interests to speak of, was scorned by 1,000 high school girls here. Only eight of the student body of the Sophie B. Wright girl’s high school expressed a preference to be housewives after graduation. Sixty-five vocations, most of them far removed from traditional fields to which women once were confined, were listed. Twelve of the girls wanted to be writers, and only six wanted to go on the stage. To emulate Ruth Elder was the ambition of thirteen of the girls, while fifty-eight wanted to enter business. This number was exceeded by 168 who wanted to be teachers.

Teaching Facts of Sex Formerly the subject of sex was associated with secret and vicious practices; to discuss it was indecent. Now men and women are coming to understand that the sex function is connected intimately with the physical, mental and moral development of the individual and with the welfare of the entire race. People are learning that its right use is the surest basis of health, happiness and usefulness and that it is a subject full of noblesness, purity and health. A wholesome curiosity about birth and sex exists in all normal children. When your little boy or girl first asks, “Where did the baby come from?” or “Where did the kittens come from?” the mother’s or father’s opportunity has come. Can you meet these questions without evasion or falsehood and can you follow up this first opportunity with wholesome advice and help cn this subject as your children grow up? Our Washington bureau has ready for you an authoritative bulletin, drawn from United States government sources, on “Teaching Children the Facts of Sex.” Send for it and perhaps avoid a tragedy for one of your children. Fill out the coupon below; CLIP COUPON HERE Health Editor, Washington Bureau, The Indianapolis Times, 1322 New York Avenue, Washington, D.

DOWNTOWN PARKING BAN IS CONSIDERED Mayor to Call Conference on Late Evening Proposal. Whether Indianapolis would profit from a downtown parking ban before 9 a. m. will be discussed at a conference at city hall in the near future, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan said today. Several large cities prohibit parking before 9 or 9:30 a. m. to prevent workers in downtown buildings and stores from “hogging” the street space from shoppers and others. Mayor Sullivan said he understood the plan was working satisfactorily in certain cities.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PERILED SAILOR GREETED WITH OWNJESSAGE Dropped Note in Bottle; Receives It as He Lands in New York. Bn I’nitrd Prrg* NEW YORK, May 7.—A story of hatred, sudden fighting, and death on the high seas on board a freighter bound from New Orleans to Brazil was carried in a bottle from the Caribbean sea to Provincetown, Muss., where it was picked up by Douglas H. Shepherd, keeper of the Wood End lighthouse there, and forwarded to the Seamen's Church institute in New York. Here, eighteen months later, the man who threw the bottle Into the sea when he feared he never would reach port again, found his message waiting for him in a letter from the keeper who found it. Ship’s Crew at Odds Seaman Larry Kimmons, 28, shipped as oiler on the freighter when it left New Orleans in September, 1928. The crew was a mixture of Filipinos, Rumanians and Japanese, which got on none too well together. When the ship was 1,400 miles off the coast of Brazil, a Rumanian fireman attacked the chief engineer with a red hot burner and the chief defended himself with a monkey wrench. He killed the fireman, but died from burns. Finds His Message Feeling ran high, the food was confiscated, and Kimmons felt he might not see port again. He wrote a message giving his name, the name of the ship, and his address at the Seamen’s Church institute, saying the ship was in trouble, put it in a bottle, apd dropped it overboard. When he called at the institute, he found the message.
