TRAFFIC SAFETY DRIVE IS LA UNCHED AS SCHOOLS OPEN

‘LOSE A MINUTE, SAVE A LIFE,' IS STETSON PLEA Appalling Auto Death Toll in County Is Argument for Driving Care. CORNERS ARE GUARDED Sixty Thousand Children Go Back to Classes After Vacation. Plea for motorists to drive carefully was sounded today by Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools, as more than 60,000 children trooped over streets and sidewalks for the first day of the new school term. Stetson urged that motorists exercise utmost care in driving and pledged full support of school officials and teachers in The Times campaign. LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A LIFE. The Times campaign is to serve as a warning to motorists and parents. The Times believes that educating motorists, parents and children to take precautions will be far more valuable than preaching safety after the damage is done.

Corners Are Guarded Street corners near schools where traffic is heavy were guarded this morning by police officers, cooperating, under direction of Chief Mike Morrissey and Traffic Captain Lewis Johnson, to make the streets safe for the children. Among the throngs of children who returned to classrooms today were 3,000 boys and girls who never have been away from their homes except in the care of their parents or older brothers and sisters. These children are not accustomed to speeding autos. They have no fear. Many of them will dart across streets and, in their hurry to get home and tell mother about their first day in school, will not remember that autos are their potential enemies. Traffic Toll Appalling The traffic toll in Marion county since Jan. 1 is appalling. One hundred twelve lives qf men, women and children have been sacrificed to autos in a few days over eight months of 1931. This fact, alone, should drive home the need for care in operating automobiles In city streets and county roads. “At the opening of the public schools, when more than 60,000 children are returning to the classrooms, every one should exercise the utmost care in driving,” Stetson said. “Indianapolis has been fortunate In recent years in that the number of accidents to children has been small. Co-Operation Is Asked “Tiie co-operation of the press, polite, school officials, auto drivers and the children will reduce accidents to a minimum. “Auto drivers should remember that until 8:30 a. m. pupils are on their way to the buildings; that during the noon hour thousands are scurrying home to lunch, and at 3 p. m. grade schools are dismissed. “These are dangerous periods for children. “LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A LIFE is a good slogan for every one.”

German Crew Feted By United, Press NEW YORK, Sept. B.—The Dorhier Wal flying boat in which Captain Wolfgang von Gronau and his crew twice have crossed the Atlantic from Germany to America rode at anchor beside her giant sister, the DO-X, at North Beach today, while Captain von Gronau and his companions were entertained in the city. The fliers arrived from Chicago Monday night and were greeted enthusiastically by the crew of the DO-X. They said they will sail for Germany Wednesday aboard the liner Hamburg, taking the plane along.

ARRAIGN 36 IN GRIMINALCOURT Barber’s Alleged Slayer Pleads Not Guilty. Thirty-six persons facing charges ranging from petit larceny to murder were arraigned today before Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker. Dates for trials were fixed. Among those arraigned was James Thomas McCubbins, charged with first-degree murder for the alleged shooting of William Layton, a barber, in a robbery last May. Layton was said to have resisted the holdup by attempting to hit the robber with a money bag. McCubbins pleaded not guilty. Baker overruled a motion to quash a murder indictment against Orville Partlow-, accused in the stabbing of Thomas Cohnor, 25, of 317 East South street. Partlpw has admitted, police say, that he fatally stabbed Connor, in a drunken brawl following a 48-hour drinking bout. The men argued over a milk bottle full of alcohol, he admitted. Partlow fled after the stabbing but two days later surrendered to detectives.

All the blue ribbons shouldn’t go to cattle, sheep and swine at the Indiana state fair.

long enough and maybe Old Gold Cord went into the sideshow. So back to the administration building. Fair officials were optimistic in the belief that today’s attendance would see another breaker of the 1930 record for the same day. Labor day’s attendance was 63,386, or 712 paid admissions over 1930’s holiday crowd. This year’s exhibition must top 21,759 paid admissions to heat 1930’s attendance for the fourth day of the fair. Bins are ready at the fairgrounds to receive Wednesday’s admissions to the fair. For it’ll take bins to hold those admissions as Fanners’ and ExBoard Members’ day is celebrated by admitting agragrians to the grounds who donate one bushel of wheat to the gatekeepers.

1932 TAX LEVY FOR CITY IS FIXED AT SI.OB Cent Reduction From Rate Is Adopted by Councilmen. Steps for appealing to the state tax board for reduction in the SI.OB civil city tax levy for 1932, adopted by the city council Monday night, today were being considered by representatives of three organizations. Appeal by the Indiana Taxpayers' Association definitely is assured, according to Harry Miesse, secretary, while representatives of the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce were undecided as to their probable action. The SI.OB levy, a reduction of 1 cent over this year’s levy, was adopted by the council after very brief discussion. The budget, as adopted, contained the $8,370 slash agreed on at budget committee meetings last week, after demands of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade for a substantial reduction in taxes. The minor slash agreed on does not affect the levy. Explain Cut Failure In explaining failure to make further budget cuts, councilmen pointed out that the 1932 budget had been pared $540,000 under the budget for this year, before it w T s submitted to the council. Decreased tax valuation and heavy cut in miscellaneous revenue, however, prevented more than a 1cent levy drop, it was explained. Half of the $540,000 budget cut is represented by an arbitrary slash in the light and water bills, in anticipation of utility rate cuts being demanded by the city. “I have no doubt that there are some items in this budget which could be reduced,” said Council President Ernest C. Ropkey. “However, three weeks is not long enough to study it thoroughly. Start Now for 1932 “I believe we should start now and go into this thoroughly, department by department, so we will know better what we can cut next year." Councilman Leo Welch expressed himself as vigorously opposed to salary slashes, proposed by the Board of Trade and urged by Councilman Fred C. Gardner as the only effective way of whittling the budget. The only opposition vote to acceptance of the budget was cast by Gardner. On motion of Councilman George A. Henry, the council finance committee was delegated to study the various municipal departments’ needs during the next year, to be able to suggest budget economies next year. Following the meeting, Councilman Maurice E. Tennant issued a statement of his views on the budget, in which he pointed to the difficulty of obtaining a majority vote on budget cuts by separate items. Advocates Wage Cut “The most effective way to have accomplished a real result,” he said, “with a savings of possibly 3 or 4 cents, would have been a general up and down cut in wages and salaries, including reduction of pay of police and firemen. “When the cuts in private business are considered, and these cuts extend everywhere, from salaries of presidents to those of clerks and stenographers, such plan seems right. However, the federal government is on record against any salary reduction of its employes. The same is true of the state. “Further, in municipalities comparable in size to Indianapolis throughout the country up to July 15 this year, not a single taxing body had made a general wage and salary cut. Support Is Refused “I have asked many of the heavy taxpayers of the city, some are members of the organizations asking tax reductions, whether they favored geneial salary cuts and whether they would allow their names to be used as favoring such a move. Without exception they have declined their support. “The smaller taxpayers, even if a general salary and wage slash were made, resulting in a maximum reduction of 5 cents in the levy, would save only $5 on each SIO,OOO of property returned for taxation. “Lastly, a cut of $300,000 from the pay of municipal employes would reduce the spending power of these people in the local markets. These considerations, in my judgment, justify the passage of the budget.”

Cut it Out That’s Just What the Fair’s Silhouette Artist Does to Your Profile.

THERE’S still hope for the Family Nuisance even though he does nothing all day but use a pair of shears on the family’s newspaper. For he may grow up to be a “snipper" of parts as is Robert Singleton, silhouette artist, in the Manufacturer’s building at the state fair. Singleton snips your profile while you wait. His nimble shears have pictured the prince of Wales, Calvin Coolidge and A1 Smith, and he has their autographs of approval to show for it. # tt tt Keeping the members of the board of agriculture and fairgrounds employes from pining for mother’s cooking is the job of Fred Evans, Carmel, and his administration building cafeteria. Evans serves 2,500 meals daily to those who make the fair wheels turn. u tt The “guy who knows it all” is stumped on one thing at the state fair, and that is the autogyro piloted by Frank Faulkner and sponsored by the Beechnut Packing Company. “How does it go up like that?” asked one question-mark of one of the “know-it-all-guys.” The “know-it-all” passed like a pair of deuces in a game of draw. n tt tt If you wander into the swine barn at the fairgrounds and hear a sheep’s x “ba-a-a” don’t think you’ve got your four-legged ones mixed. For due to the innumerable sheep entries in fair events it was necessary to house some of them alongside the “sooey” ones. tt tt tt “This tractor runs on beer.” This placard, posted near one of the tractors in the mechanical exhibitions at the fair, is true. The machine runs and is balanced on four bottles partly fillled with near beer. tt tt tt Business may not be any good, but Hoosier retailers are doing a business of about one and onequarter billion dollars annually. Statistics compiled by the Indiana university bureau on business research show that Indiaila stands twelfth among all the states in volume of retail business. tt tt tt One king of knee-pants really celebrated Labor day at the fair. He ate a whole butterscotch pie, pork chops, potatoes and gravy, two ice cream cones, and drank a cup of milk, a glass of cider and one of an orange drink. The last remark he made was, “Where’s that Red Cross?” tt tt tt “Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.” With all eyes turned upward the “Battle of Bunker Hill” is re-enacted each night in front of the new grand stand. That tired feeling goes with the first bang! BOYS’ FIGHT IN COURT Alleged Injuries Basis of $5,000 Suit for Damages at Rensselaer. Bit Times Special RENSSELAER, Ind., Sept. 8. The penchant boys have for fighting is reflected in a $5,000 suit on file in Jasper circuit court here. Defendants are Walter and Carrie Penrod, stepfather and mother of Joseph Gambe, 12. It is alleged by Charles and Anna Maibauer, that their son, Charles Jr., was kicked by the Gambe boy, causing an injury which necessitated three operations. Young Gambe, the complaint says, is “a bad boy,” allowed to “wander and roam over the streets.”

SHEARER POOR PLANOPPOSED Wants to Use Cow Barns for Needy Quarters. Majority of county commissioners today opposed a plan of Commissioner John E. Shearer, minority board member, to use the cow barn at the state fairground as auxiliary headquarters for the county’s poor this coming winter. Shearer proposes an arrangement with the state board of agriculture to use the main buildings at the fairgrounds to care for able-bodied inmates of the county poor farm, which is seriously overcrowded. “That’s a lot of propaganda,” Commissioner George Snider declared, “it would mean the expense of providing two heads and double personnel to care for infirmary inmates.” Commissioner Dow Vorhies also is opposed to the plan, agreeing with Snider that such a plan would not save the county any money. Shearer stated he made the proposal because temporary quarters which commissioners propose to build at the poor farm can not be completed until January. Snider and Vohries are asking the county council to appropriate $23,000 for the dormitory project.
