SIX ACRES FOR GARDENS, OFFER OF CITY MAN Large Tract Is Available, If Needy Want to Raise ‘Truck.’ Appeals for garden plots in the city to feed hungry families this summer have touched the heart of one prominent business man, and as a result The Times today is seeking almost forty needy, unemployed men to till a large strip of land near Southeastern avenue and Sherman drive. "I have six acres on South Sherman drive, Just south of Southeastern avenue,” wrote F. W. Cornelius, general manager of the Frank M. Dell Coal Company. “If you feel that you can manage this ground in such way that it is properly divided among people who want to make gardens and who are needy, I would be willing to put it under your care for this season,” he said. Cornelius had read several stories in The Times asking landowners to donate their vacant lots to a worthy cause this spring. Many requests have been received for garden spaces, but of these several live far from spaces already donated. Plea late last week for additional lots brought in many, so that now there are more garden plots than gardeners. Perhaps you, one of the unemployed men willing to till a tract of'land for food this summer, will work on one of these: Thirty-ninth street, and Byram avenue: Irvington, 6200 east; Christian street, between Newton and Meredith streets; 500 block Concord street; 700 block West New York street; Tremont Gardens, on Rockville road; Oxford and Thirtyeighth street; Sixty-second and Crittendon streets; 1200 East Fortysixth street; Parker avenue, at Pendleton pike; Columbia avenue, north of Seventeenth street; Sixteenth street and Holmes avenue; 2000 block North Berwick street, and Mars Hill, Third avenue. Will you till one of these lots? Write The Times Garden Editor today. URGES~CABI?ET CHANGE Secretary of Transportation Proposed by William Z. Ripley.

The audience, invited to remain without additional charge, will select five girls from the long parade of entrants to appear in each of the stage shows at the Indiana starting Friday. Then next week’s audiences will select the final winners. Entrants in the contest tonight include girls from 16 to 26, who are talented in everything from fast dancing to singing and recitation work.

MINISTERS TO GIVE SUPPORT TO DR. OXNAM Methodist Pastors Named to Make Probe of . Evans’ Charges. Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, probably will be defended against attacks of a small group of militant alumni in Indianapolis by Indianapolis Methodist ministers. At the weekly Methodist ministers meeting at Roberts Park M. E. church Monday, a committee of three ministers were appointed to draft recommendations to be presented at the meeting on Monday of next week. The most recent attack on Oxnam by William P. Evans, Insull attorney, was discussed. According to the Rev. Victor B. Hargitt, pastor of Brightwood church and secretary of the organization, the discussion was “very friendly toward Dr. Oxnam.” De Pauw is a Methodist school. Evans charged that under Oxnam, the lecture courses there have overemphasized radical economic thought and that sex talk is too frank. “Sex, sovietism and socialism” are destroying the school, Evans alleged. Members of the committee to investigate these charges are the Rev. Guy O. Carpenter, Irvington church; the Rev. F. R. Green, Fountain Street church, and the Wilbur D. Gross, Fifty-first Street church. Their investigation wifi be confined to the merit, if any, of the attack on Dr. Oxnam, Mr. Hargitt said. PARMDEVICE SPACESAVER Invention Used Successfully for Several Months. By Science Service EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 21.—One hundred forty-four automobiles are parked in the space ordinarily required for 12 in anew automatic parking building wh.ch has been in successful operation for several months at an industrial plant here. The present structure is the outgrowth of an experimental machine that parked a smaller number of cars. Each automobile is run into an individual cage, one of a series that is carried on two endless chains over spocket wheels at the bottom and top of the parking building in the manner of a conveyor. When a cage is called to the driveway level by means of a key, the machine automatically selects the shortest route and an electric motor moves the cage at 100 feet a minute.

FILMS SHOW FALL OF SPANISH RULER

Chicago Tunnel Disaster Is Another Picture Feature of Universal. Overthrow of the Spanish monarchy and the Chicago tunnel disaster are the highlights of an unusually fine budget of events in The Indianapolis Times-Universal Newsreel, now showing in leading theaters of the city. Graham McNamee, crack announcer of the National Broadcasting Company and the pioneer screen talking reporter, certainly has a mouthful of hot news to talk about. The Madrid story shows King Alfonso in a troop review just before the abdication. At Menominee, Mich., the forest fires sweeping across the state line from Wisconsin are seen to be such a peril that home owners have all they can do to turn the hose on dwellings and save them from the flames. Thrilling falls and a sensational finish are provided in a steeplechase featuring the United Hunts races, the curtain raiser at Aqueduct, N. Y., to the opening of*the regular racing season in the east. The Newsreel also reveals President Hoover as not only a good hurler, when he pitches the first ball out at the opening of the Ath-letics-Senators game in Washington, but also as a keen fan. He is seen to nudge Mrs. Hoover to watch a particularly good play during the game. Other pictures of interest in the * Newsreel include Prince Takamatsu of Japan placing a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington; and the historic “Holy Saturday” pageant in Florence, Italy. Theaters showing the reel in this city are the Zaring, Roosevelt, Granada, Rivoli, Bijou, Ohio and Sanders. It also is shown at the Palace in Beech Grove. MOOSE CHANGE PLANS Convention Site Is Changed From Cleveland to Atlantic City. Loyal Order of Moose has changed the place of its fortythird annual international convention from Cleveland to Atlantic City. James J. Davis, United States senator from Pennsylvania and Moose director-general, announces the convention dates as Aug. 24 to 29. Cleveland will have the convention in 1932 when an international song festival also will be staged.

RAVENSWOOD , ‘DICTATOR’ IS PUTJNOFFICE Citizens’ Ouster Vote Gives Board Chairman Full Authority. A “dictator” took charge today to depose all claimants to the mayoralty throne in Ravenswood and set himse.f to handling the town’s business with full and complete powers. Citizens who have listened to the turbulent wheels of the town’s government for more than a year became passive once again and yielded to the ordinance, passed at the home of Stephen Jacobs by the town board Monday night, giving Robert Stamm, board chairman, the powers of “dictatorship.” First move of Stamm, it is said, will be completely to unhorse and impeach Charles O. Ford, minority board member who claims the title of mayor. Ford seems to have neglected to turn the town's lights off at 11 o’clock each night, as provided by oruinance, and is said to have endangered the citizens’ lives by cutting the tree that supported the town’s fire bell.
