PAVING TIEUP THREATENED IN MATERIAL WAR Concrete-Asphalt Feud at City Hall May Affect $200,000 Program. BY EDWIN V. O’NEEL Tieup of the $200,000 street paving program for the remainder of the season will be threatened if the concrete-asphalt paving feud continues at city hall, City Engineer A. ri. Moore declared today. Asphalt t; teresta have brought suit against the city to restrain the works bo-ad from proceeding with the paving of Shepard street, charging that specifications, permitting one-course pavements, are not according to the state paving statute. Attorney Merle N. A. Walker declared the city will be enjoined In other projects under present specifications. Moore expressed the belief the pr>ce of asphalt never will be reduced sufficiently to make possible laying of asphalt streets as cheaply as concrete. Moore frequently specified asphalt on main thoroughfares where concrete is not considered advisable. "The asphalt contractors have large investments and naturally will not idly sit by letting all the streets go for concrete. I don’t know the j solution for the situation,” Moore said. Owners Arc Target Under the present paving laws the resident property owners have the only voice m petitioning for preference of material, making the property owners the target of material promoters who grant minor favors for their signature on a petition to the board to award the contract for their favored material. Many a driveway has been paved and wagon loads ot material given to residents in return for their signatures. In cases where one property owner controls the situation, contractors and promoters have been reported to have paid the assessment in order to “save the job.” * Hendricks Kenworthy, Portland Cement Association promoter and Ninth ward Democratic sub-chair-man. is a thorn in the side of the asphalt material promoters because of his constant presence at city hall. Kenworthy, long a strenuous party worker, was active in the last election and has been consulted in the capacity of politician on selection of personnel for several city jobs. Personal Friends Eight of the foriy inspectors in the engineering department are residents of the Ninth ward, but none were recommended for that post directly by Kenworthy, according to E. Kirk McKinney, works board chairman and ex-city chairman in the last campaign. Kenworthy was active on behalf of several job-hun-gry Democrats in his ward, but did not recommend precinct workers for any specific jobs in the inspection department which finally passes on city paving improvements, McKinney said. “Kenworthy and I have been personal and political friends for years, but we do not discuss matters pertaining to the Portland Cement Association. When I went on the board of works I told him that the only way our friendship could continue was for us never to discuss concrete paving matters, and we haven’t,” McKinney declared. “I've been approached a dozen times by persons interested in seeing more asphalt streets laid here, and because I'm not favoring them they charge that I’ve allied with the cement interests,” McKinney said. “The asphalt interests never have obtained contracts merely because they bid low on the jobs. The cement association maintains its own engineering staff and inspects streets in an effort to build better pavements,” McKinney asserted. Covers l arge Territory Chief Inspector William Holl said he had known Kenworthy twentyfive years but that the concrete promoter had never interfered in any wav with his department. “I'm not going tc get mixed up in any asphalt-concrete war and if I should hear of any inspector participating n the fight I would take it up with the board at once,” Holl declared. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan pointed out that the Ninth ward covers a large territory and that all Ninth ward appointments were not recommended by Kenworthy. "The ward was divided into three divisions, in the last city election and Kenworthv nad charge of one of them.” Sullivan said. Girl Escapes Drowning B'l Vnited Fret* r.IT. VERNON, Ind..

Pendulum Swing Held Unnecessary in Putting

BY DENNY SHUTE ADVICE with regard to the necessity of pitting overspin on your putts and of taking a comfortable position in the address with the weight thrown on the left foot, naturally should be followed by a few words on the actual hitting of the putt. Most authorises believe it necessary to make what is called a pendulum swing—that is, holding the club so that the ciubhead does every bit of the work in striking the ball. I do not agree with that, although there probably are a number of better putters than I who hold to that principle. Mv disagreement, if it ! may be called that, is in my belief j that they do not use the pendulum stroke as faithfully as they teach it. j A lot of them get clear away from the pendulum swing probably with- j out realizing it. I believe that the club should be gripped practically the same as in 'the making of an iron shot, the only difference being that for a putt the club should be held a trifle more

THRIFT NOTE WINS VACATION AWARD

Mrs. Helen Grove Is Given $5 Prize for Week’s Best Letter. A note of thriftiness was sounded in the vacation letter Mrs. Helen Grove. 3314 North Illinois street, submitted last week, describing her stay-at-home vacation “with renewed interest in home and loved ones and visions of a full coal bin and dinner pail.” To Mrs. Grove goes the $5 award for the week’s best letter describing “Why I think my vacation was best from the standpoint ot physical and mental benefits I derived.” Now another week is starting, carrying with it the same opportunity. Send your letters—not over 100 words—to The Times Vacation Contest editor. The snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies, the broad plains of Wyoming’s “cow country,” the rolling Cumberland's such is the vista pictured in letters published today. a an FROM MISS FLORENCE STRATMAN. 862 North Chester avenue. THE month of June on the west coast—a vacation in fairyland! California's palm-lined motor ways and sun-lit beaches, the sheer beauty of Yosemite's glorious waterfalls and precipitous walls, creating an almost reverent admiration, the keen, exhilarating mountain air of the northwest, with its spectacular scenery on the Columbia river high-way-all united in making my trip one of ever-appealing variety—a cure-all mentally and physically. We returned through the Canadian rockies, whose stupendous grandeur in snow-clad peaks and glaciers, Lake Louise, lovely, jewel-like, climaxed a vacation of immeasurable pleasure and lasting inspiration. nan FROM MRS.

Back through the Cuir.beviand mountains. I think this an ideal and inexpensive vacation. After camping out and visiting some of the mountaineers, one gets an idea of how the other half of the world lives and comes home mentally and physically happy and thankful for home and Indiana and can look another year in the face with new vim and vigor. n tt tt FROM MARY JO COLENEAU, Apartment 214, 1603 College avenue: FROM May 25 to July 1 I had a most wonderful time vagabonding from Indianapolis to Denver, to Sana Fe, to Los Angeles, to Salt Lake City, to Yellowstone, to Chicago and home. There are hundreds of beautiful, varied pictures in my memory, of snow-capped Rockies, different Indian tribes, desert wastes of Arizona, Nevada and Utah, the roaring Pacific, the beautiful national park at Yellowstone, to the “cow country” of Wyoming. My eyes actually were tired, looking. Traversing 6,000 miles, my pedometer negistered only one-seventh. Believe it or not! I gained a ravenous appetite, a popular sun-tan and a peace of mind. Yet even now my feet are yearning for the highways. The transformer is one of the most efficient pieces cf electrical apparatus, having reached efficiencies of more than 99 per cent.
