BATHING POOLS KEPT PURE BY HOURLYTESTS Thousands of Dollars Spent to Safeguard Health of Swimmers. Every effort is being exerted this year to keep the water in city bathing pools pure and sanitary, city recreation officials announced today. Filtering tanks, powerful electric pumps and chlorinators, representing an investment of many thousands of dollars by the recreation department, are being operated to safeguard the health of the thousands of men, women and children who daily visit the pools. Tanks recently installed at the new Garfield park pool have a capacity of more than 40,000 gallons an hour. A complete change of water for the entire pool is effected by the filterers every eight hours. As the water leaves the filterers and is pumped back into the pool, free chlorine, one of the best known destroyers of bacteria, is injected into the water by chlorinators. The amount of chlorine used depends on the number of bathers. Hourly tests of the water in each of the pools is made by competent engineers in charge of the filtering plants. Reports on the temperature, attendance, acidity and condition of each pool is made to the recreation department office every four hours during the day. The Indianapolis health board also makes a daily inspection of the pools and tests samples of water for bacteria.

BLAME MENTAL SHOCK FOR MANY AILMENTS Nursery Schools Defended in Speech to Doctors’ Parley. B >' United Press DETROIT, June 25.—A mental or emotional shock is at times so severe as to cause the same response in the gastro-intestinal tract as does shock from other causes, with the probable result that such disturbances result in ulcers of the stomach, Dr. George A. Moleen, Denver, stated at today's meeting of the American Medical Association. In susceptible psycho-neurotic persons the secretions of the stomach, liver and pancreas distinctly are influenced by such shocks, Dr. Moleen said. Doctors who consider nursery schools, habit clinics and pre-kin-dergartens the ‘ bunk,” were scored by Dr. Esther Loring Richards of Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. Poor training, not only in physical but emotional habits, is a common cause for “bad” and “nervous” children, Dr. Richards said. POLAR DISPUTE REVIVED Byrd Discoveries Expect to Renew U. S.-British Claims. Bn United PrAs WASHINGTON, June 25.—Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s claims to territory in the Antarctic are expected to enliven a potential dispute between the United States and Great Britain over conflicting claims in that area. The state department has taken no action regarding Antarctic claims since Undersecretray of State lotton’s note of November, 1929. to Britain, in which he evaded acknowledgment of British claims, and left the question open for later discussion. X-RAYS USE IS GROWING Found Helpful in More and More Diseases, Says Doctor. By Science Service DETROIT, June 25.

Among these conditions are boils, carbuncles, certain cases of pneumonia, erysipelas, inflammation of the kidneys, inflammation of the parotid gland and many other inflammatory conditions. Dr. Arthur U. Desjardins of Rochester, Minn., told members of the American Medical Association at the meeting here this afternoon.

There were 78,063 fewer children being born in 1928 than in 1921.

PLAY KITTEN BALL Playground Season to Start Next Week. Young baseball fans at city playgrounds will start play in the 1930 kitten bal. season next week, according tc Robert Nipper, supervisor of boys’ athletics. The game is similar to indoor baseball and has been the feature attraction on city playgrounds in former years. The afternoon kitten ball games afforded competition between teams of the different grounds. No city kitten ball league is to be organized this year, according to Nipper. Instead of each playground sponsoring a team, as in former years, all boys are to be given a chance to play kitten ball this year and will not have to be members of a league.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Correct color combinations for women of Corinnc Griffith’s type are described in the article below, the third in a series on "Your Beauty Colors” which Ninon is writing for The Times and NEA Service. BY NINON Written for NEA Service THE most awe-inspiring sunset is really a perfect distillation of colors. So is silvery moonlight and the impalpable softness of lovely dawn. Once you fully grasp the all-im-portant function of color, your own personal beauty is sure to reap the benefits of this realization. Study your own type, the colors that make your eyes clearer, your skin fairer, your hair more lustrous. Follow in the lead of noted women who have scientifically discovered what are their own beauty colors. Do you resemble Corinne Griffith? Have you her elusive, fragile femininity? Her eyes are gray-blue, her hair light brown, her complexion fair and the contour of her face round. She is five feet six and a half inches tall and never weighs over 115. Does all this describe you, too? if so, use rachel powder, raspberry rouge and a light-toned lipstick, for Miss Griffith has found this combination perfect. Try cobalt violet for your costumes. It heightens her beauty. It will help yours, too, if you are like her. Clear yellows, oranges, all the nasturtium shades are excellent foils for her delicate beauty. About her home she places California poppies, marigolds, calundulas. And for her interior decorating schemes, she works into the draperies, the pictures and other accessories much of the clear, mysterious cobalt violet to make a perfect setting for her beauty.

Maybe you’ve been told you resemble Clara Bow. In that event, you’ll be particularly interested in reading next how Hollywood’s vivacious red-head chooses the best color to complement her beauty.
