Appreciation Editor Times—At last the traffic signal has been installed at West and Washington streets, through efforts of Mr. Fixit. and you do not realize what a change has taken place at that corner. It surely is appreciated by me. for I cross there four times a day. I wrote you some time ago suggesting the sign there. Thanking you, GEORGE D. GARDNER.

The signal, which was installed under direction of Thomas Haefling head of the city electrical department, was turned on this week. Several other automatic signals, for which many requests have been received, have been ordered in by the safety board. These include one at West and Tenth streets and another at Raymond and Shelby streets, with one to be installed at Emerson avenue Brookville road as soon as paving work is completed. Other signals recently installed by the board include Madison avenue and Morris street; Blackford and Washington streets, Sherman drive and Thirtieth street, and Alabama and New York streets. Mr. Fixit—lf you can “fix it” so we cau get the weeds cut in the yard and along the sidewalk, at 501 St. Paul street, the neighbors would appreciate it very much. A. NEIGHBOR. Weeds at this address have been cut since the letter was written, according to airport by inspectors to Itr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer. Mr. Fixit—About 635 South Delaware street is a bad hole in the street left by the car company after repairing their tracks. I hit this hole this morning and blew out two tires.

ITHEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN “Caught on the horns of a dilemma” is the exact phrase to describe the present position of Hendricks Kenworthy, Democratic Ninth ward chairman and city hall power. Torn between loyalty to two friends, Kenworthy is attempting URGES RENEWED CARE HIVING Morrissey Points to Dusk Danger of October. Warning to motorists to exert additional precautions in driving during October to reduce traffic accidents caused by changing weather conditions, was issued today by Police Chief Mike Morrissey. In the last two years, the month has been a period of a large number of fatal auto crashes. In 1929 auto accidents took a toll of seventeen lives and in 1930, twelve persons were killed. Morrissey’s warning supports The Times safety campaign which motorists and pedestrians have been urged to regard all rules of safety on city streets and county highways. The Times during the last month has pushed forward the slogan, “LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A LIFE.” Morrissey pointed out that with early dusk of autumn many motorists fair to turn on lights and often face rain or snow en route to homes and offices. Many cars are driven with windows closed during cool periods, often preventing motorists from hearing warning signals of street cars and other motor vehicles, and many drivers fail to give hand signals. KAHN TO ANSWER SUIT Capitalist to Appear in Court on $500,000 Suit by Swedish Singer. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Otto H. Kahn, capitalist, was expected to appear in general sessions court today to answer the charges made by Lydia Lindgren, Swedish singer, in her suit for $500,000 against the banker for alleged breach of verbal contract. Madame Lindgren charges Kahn promised to pay her $160,000 for dropping a slander suit against Madame Claussen, another singer, and that she suffered distress and was unable to obtain engagements because Kahn failed to supply her with a concert manager. She alleged Kahn had promised verbally to obtain a manager for her.

frantically to hit upon some plan which will extricate him from his difficulty. Loyal to Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Walter Myers. Speaker of the 1931 house* of representatives, the Democratic leader does not know which way to turn. Sullivan openly has announced that he again will support Frank Dailey for the nomination for Governor. The mayor feels that it is his duty to do this, not only because Dailey is his friend, but also because the 1928 nominee is a member of his board of public safety. True to his resolution not to attempt to influence or direct the political activities of city hall employes, Sullivan will not issue any orders as to how they should vote in the 1932 convention. •t * St But as the word becomes spread about that he is for Dailey, it is only natural that the city staffs will take an attitude favorable to the candidate. Kenworthy will feel utterly obligated to support Dailey because of the favorable position he hold at the city hall. He has, however, been out over the state attempting to build up sentiment for Myers for United States senator. His espousal of the Speaker’s cause has been perfervid and he is straining every effort in that direction. * n a Yet he knows well that the convention will not select both the nominees for senator and Governor fxom Marion county. That such a thing ever could occur is beyond the boundaries of political possibility. Under the rules, the senator is nominated first. Should Kenworthy throw all his city hall support to Myers and should he be nominated and Dailey, as a result of this, defeated, the Ninth ward chairman would lose all his standing at the city hall and be branded traitor to the man who has raised him to an important position in Marion county politics. What is it going to be, Hendricks —the lady or the tiger? Does Not Suffer From Asthma Now Every Sign of Trouble Gone, Works All the Time Now.

FAIRVIEW CIVIC LEAGUE FLAILS UTILITYJiATES Branded Exorbitant in Talk by Attorney: Committee Ordered to Act. The Butler-Fairview Civic Association today added its voice to the growing list of civic organizations demanding a reduction in utility rates. The association, at its meeting Tuesday night in the Fairview Presbyterian church, authorized its utilities committee, headed by John Shafer, to co-operate with similar committees of other groups in an intensive study of local utility rates with the purpose of seeking revision downward in event they are found unjustifiably high. The subject was broached at the meeting by Attorney Stephen A. Clinehens, who denounced present utility rates as exorbitant. Purposes of civic clubs in Indianapolis were discussed by John F. White, state representative, a pioneer in civic club organization here. “The primary purpose of civic organizations is to render unselfish public service, and when they no longer render this service they are useless,” White said, in urging close co-operation of all civic organizations. The association authorized President Ross Ludlow to name a committee to select nominees for the annual election in November.

Cover Pipes to Avoid Freezing This Winter

This is the fourth of orries of srtieles on preparation of the home for winter. By NEA Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—After the house and heating unit has been inspected and prepared for cold weather, there are many little things that can be done around the house that will save much time and effort of the tenant when winter sets in. Water pipes during severe winters present a source of trouble that is both costly and difficult to repair. An ounce of prevention now 1 will be worth a pound of cure when freezing weather causes poorly protected pipes to burst. Vincent B. Phelan of the States rZ commerce gives the following method of protecting pipes against freezing. “Water pipes which are exposed to freezing temperatures should be covered in some manner, especially those located out of doors or in unheated spaces, as under porches or in outbuildings. “For pipes located in unheated areas it is well to use a commercial covering made of a layer of hair felt and a layer of wool felt. This generally comes in lengths of three feet, split on one side to slip around pipes, and is fastened by means of metal bands. If exposed to weather it should be made waterproof. “Home-made coverings can be made by wrapping the pipes first with tar paper and then with felt, held in place by a jacket of canvas fastened by paste or wires and painted with waterproof paint. “Another covering is made bywrapping the pipe with old cloth, then with layers of newspaper, and

finishing with strips of burlap. This should be four or five inches thick.” If pipes do freeze, the proper way to thaw them out is to apply a direct flame to the pipe, working toward the supply end of the pipe and keeping the faucet open to know when the flow starts. The direct flame be applied with a gasoline blowtorch or a lighted candle. If neither of these is available because of inflammable surroundings, cloths can be wrapped around the pipes and boiling water poured over them, although this does not work as fast as the direct flame.
