PUPILS ‘FLOOD' SCHOOL WITH CHARITY GIFTS Classes at No. Answer Plea by Bringing In Many Bundles. BY FINLEY M’GREW Timet School Editor If everybody In the country knew how to give as do the children at Charity Dye school, No. 27, Seventeenth street and Park avenue, the success of Community funds would never be in doubt, and President Hoover would have a lot more time to fish at his camp in Virginia. Monday afternoon, Miss Laura E. Hanna, principal of the school, spoke in each of the rooms, asking the pupils to bring their old clothing and shoes to the school Tuesday, in order that they might be given to children in another school who were inadequately clothed. Tuesday morning, the fireworks began. Boys and girls, first grade pupils and eighth graders alike, all came *o school with bundles. Dresses that were outgrown, shirts that were a trifle frayed, shoes that had seen better days but still were useful, trousers that had seen their initiation to service long i.go, all this and more came to the desk which Miss Hanna had placed in the hall of the building. Approximately seventy-five packages, many containing more then one article of clothing, were there when school began. Many pupils had come to the principal sayng, “I have some things that j. m going to bring, but mother wants to mend them first.” So there is more yet to come. “I think it’s wonderful,” said Miss Hanna. “AH this happened without there being any advertising or any high pressure. We simply asked that tiie children bring anything they might be able to spare. They don’t even know the boys and girls to whom it will go. But this is what happened.” BARES BRIBE ATTEMPT Ex-Police Captain Tells of Incident at Gotham Gaming Quiz. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—An attempt by Arnold Rothstein, murdered Broadway gambler, to bribe him to allow gambling in social and political clubs, was described today before the city-wide legislative investigating committee by Ezekiel Keller, former police captain. Keller, who conducted a number of raids on Tammany clubs where gambling was permitted, said he met Rothstein in front of the Kit Kat Club. The gambler, whose unsolved murder disclosed an alliance betwen politics and underworld, offered to pay Keller “protection” for a game. “I don’t fix things," Keller said he replied. “The only way I fix them is to put them in a patrol wagon.”

PIPE ORGAN IS DEDICATED BY STUDENT BODY Shortridge Pupils Witness Presentation at Rites in Auditorium. Shortridge high school’s new pipe organ, a prize for which the faculty and student body have been working for more than three years, was dedicated this morning before a meeting of the entire school in the auditorium. Joel Hadley of the biology department, chairman of the Shortridge organ committee, made the presentation. George Buck, principal, accepted the instrument for the school. Leo M. Rappaport and Frank Muckenstrum, who held important roles in obtaining the organ for the school, were introduced to the student body. Miss Christine Houseman, Shortridge faculty member, was the first to play the new instrument. She played all the organ numbers on the musical part of the program. Vocal numbers were sung by the Shortridge choir, the boys’ glee club, and the male chorus from the school’s music classes. Dedication 'of the organ culminates three years of effort on the part of the Shortridge students, faculty and Parent-Teacher Association. A picture show vid an allschool review raised part of the money .which the students gave to the organ committee. According to Mr. Hadley, the committee will continue to raise money, as approximately $2,000 are still owed on the organ. Tuesday’s issue of the Shortridge Daily Echo urged freshmen to “join the ranks of loyal Shortridgers and help finish paying for the organ.”

CHURCH ‘DUCKS' LIQUOR ISSUE Episcopalians Sidetrack Two of Three Problems. By United Press DENVER, Sept. 30.—The triennial convention of the Episcopal church neared a close today with two of its major national problems, prohibition and unemploymen, apparently sidetracked. Prohibition and unemployment were recognized as two of the three outstanding issues which faced the church when the convention started. Anew canon on divorce was the third. The divorce canon question was settled Tuesday when the house of deputies and the house of bishops agreed on a liberalized revision of the old marriage code. Concerning prohibition or unemployment the church was unable to take any stand or evolve any plan. In its study of prohibition, the church leaders found there was a widespread difference in opinion regarding the value and desirability in retention of the prohibition laws. The convention, however, regarded the question as “highly controversial and closely related to partisan politics.”

WAR ONJREE’ LOTS Real Estate Racket Hit in Board’s Drive. Because of the alleged activity of “free” lot real estate promotion schemes at the Indiana state fair the Indianapolis Real Estate Board and the Indiana Real Estate Association have again launched a war for the fall and winter against the promoters of such rackets. Aid of the postoffice authorities will be sought in investigating the schemes, Lawrence G. Holmes, executive secretary of the board, declared. The “free lot” scheme is operated as follows: The promoter notifies the selected prospect that he or she has won a lot. The only requirement is to pay a small sum for making the abstract and other legal services. Then when the “sucker” is shown the lot, various disadvantages are pointed out. The prospect is told that the lot has a certain value which will be deducted from any of the other lots, he or she cares to buy. The difference is usually approximately S7OO, and so anew customer is hooked,” Holmes pointed out.

At 10:30 nature films will be shown at the regular Saturday story hour, the subject being “The Raccoon” and “The Beaver.” This is open to all children of school age. School No. 5 now has the Sousa cup for its part in registering children visitors during the last school year. The cup is awarded the district having the highest registration of visitors in proportion to its enrollment. The city is divided into six general districts. The museum loan collection of prints and booklets is proving popular with teachers. This collection consists of hundreds of mounted prints and of bound leaflets and articles on nature study, geographical and historical data, filed in portfolio packages and loaned for two weeks to teachers. The service is new, yet there are about one hundred subjects from which to select material.

PORTO RICAN LAD IS DILIGENT PUPIL

... >• ' V * - o

This is Efraim Castillo, taking a vacation from • puzzling over why it is that a hunch of people are foolish enough to speak English when there’s a perfectly good Spanish ' language to use. He is looking forward to next summer when he will he able to read through his book, “Jack and Nell,’’ without stumbling over a single word.

Strange Land, Language Puzzle Him, But He’s Learning Fast. He’s just a little timid, is Efraim Castillo, but he’s getting along fine. No wonder he’s timid. You would be, too, if you were just a few months past your sixth birthday, a native of Porto Rican, and not only just starting into school for the first time, but beginning in a country which speaks a strange language. Efraim was born in Adjuntas, which is in the west central part of Porto Rico. Now he’s in the first grade at Benjamin Harrison School No. 2. When he first came to America—that was July 6—he could not understand a word of English. Now he can read a number of the sent-

CHANEL DESIGNS GOWNS FOR GLORIA Girls in Eddie Cantor’s Latest Movie, “Palmy Days,” Have Famous French Dressmaker for Their Designer. THE first of the gowns designed by the world-renowned Mme. Gabrielle Chanel of Paris for Samuel Goldwyn’s screen stars, will be seen in “Palmy Days,” Eddie Cantor’s newest comedy extravaganza, which comes to Loew’s Palace Saturday. These unusually smart style creations are worn by Barbara Weeks, who plays the leading feminine role opposite Cantor. Her sports suit is the first Chanel model to reach the screen, and was made expressly for her in Mme. Chanel’s Paris workshops. Under the plan worked out by Samuel Goldwyn Mme. Chanel has agreed to interpret styles for Goldwyn pictures six months in advance

of the season, so as to make them slightly in advance of th3 vogue when they are released in Goldwyn pictures. Consequently United Artists Pictures will become a style barometer, according to advice from Mme. Chanel. “Palmy Days” is the most laughable of all of Eddie Cantor’s productions, exceeding all his efforts for the Ziegfeld “Follies,” as foell as his first talker, “Whoopee.” “Palmy Days” was written expressly for the screen, and besides having an unusually spectacular scenic embellishment at the hands of Willy Pogany,. is likewise replete with scores of Hollywood’s most decorative young ladies, song-hits and the nonsensical style of humor always associated with Eddie Cantor. Charlotte Greenwood, Walter Catlett and many other famous mirth-makers are in the cast. Among the outstanding musical selections of this picture are “Yes, Yes,” “Sister, Bend Down,” “Dunk, Dunk, Dunk,” and “Goose Pimples.” In addition to the features, the program will include the usual supplementary shorter attractions together with the latest issue of the Hearst Metrotone news. tt tt n Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Rebound” at the Circle, “Side Show” at the Apollo, “Squaw Man” at the Palace, Eddie Nelson at the

Miss Ethel Bryan is the teacher who is faced with the task of giving Efraim an understanding of the King’s English as spoken in Indiana. Every day, Efraim goes through his paces of learning to identify pictures and printed words from the speech of his teacher. Efraim’s father, Dr. Angel Castillo, is Spanish secretary for the College of Divine Metaphysics, which has headquarters in the Denison. He speaks both English and Spanish fluently. He is a native of Porto Rico. “He has never been in school before,” says Dr. Castillo, “so it is a bit strange to him. But he likes it. I think he’ll be about a year in learning to speak English well.” Mrs. Castillo, who is also learning to speak English, was born in Bogota, the capital of Columbia.

BEADING ‘SPREE’ INNOVATION AT SGHOOLNO,SO Weekly ‘Recess’ Permits Pupils to Browse in Nearby Library. Exciting adventure for school children to be turned loose—during school time—to browse as they please among library books. That’s what children do in departmental grades at school No. 50, Belle Vieu place and Ohio street, where r. reading experiment is being carried out by Miss Mary MacArdle, principal of the school, and Mrs. Helen Miller, librarian at Hawthorne branch library. Each week, groups of grade children scamper across the school lawn and swarm into the nearby library. There they go on a reading “spree” with any of the book or magazines that catch their fancy. At first, some are bored with the idea and only look at the pictures. "Gradually they become interested and soon are lost to the world in a storybook. When the experiment first was tried last year, results showed a remarkable improvement in vocabulary content and general Information. With few exceptions, the 123 pupils doing the library reading had advanced mentally from one to two years above their actual age. Miss Caroline Eberhardt, a teacher, is co-operating with Miss MacArdle and Mrs. Miller in the reading experiment. CORD WOOD ON SALE Entire Proceeds Used for Wages on Emergency Work Project.

This overshadowed the 1929 consumption when 432,095,000 gallons of auto fuel were sold in the state.
