THANKSGIVING DAY EARLY IN GRADE SCHOOLS Pupils Are Observing 111th Anniversary of Holiday Started by Pilgrims. For 110‘years, the United States have celebrated Thanksgiving day on the last Thursday in November. Indianapolis school chidlren today are observing the 11th day of Thanks—observing it today as there is no school Thursday. Typical of the activities in the various schools are those at Florence Fay school No. 21, at 2815 English avenue, where every grade has prepared a program which fits into the school work. Pupils in the IA-2B room have prepared individual books depicting the story of the Pilgrims. Drawings in crayon picture the life of the early settlers from the time they left England until they sat down with the Indians at the Thanksgiving table to enjoy the fruits of their harvests. Study Life of Pilgrims Opposite the drawings are written descriptions of Pilgrim life. A study of the life of the Pilgrims in Holland has been made by the third grade pupils. They have constructed a miniature Dutch room, and have filled it with miniature furniture. In addition, they have written and illustrated stories telling how the Pilgrims lived in the Netherlands. For the American angle of the early settlers, they have, in their art work, strung beads of macaroni colored in all the bright hues the Indians loved. Books written by the fourth graders are divided into six chapters: Life in England,” ‘‘Life in Holland,” The Trip on the Mayflower,” “The Relations With the Indians,” “Colonial Life,” and “The First Thanksgiving.” Child Poets Recite. In the fifth grade, the pupils staged a program for their own benefit this afternoon. Embryo poets recited poetry which they wrote themselves. Other less talented pupils recited verse about Thanksgiving written by famous poets. A story-telling hour held sway in the sixth grade. The pupils themselves narrated the ever new tales of the feast in Plymouth in 1621, and of the growth of the Thanksgiving observance up to the present day. The Parent-Teacher Association of Nebraska Cropsey school, No. 22, Illinois and Kansas streets, this afternoon saw “The Spirit of Priscilla,” an operetta presented by the pupils of the fifth and sixth grades. The production was given Tuesday afternoon before the school children. Give Thanksgiving Play This morning, the eighth grade English classes gave a Thanksgiving play which they had written. An exhibit was prepared by pupils at John McCormick School 30, at 40 North Miley avenue.

BELLS? Any kind of bells. John Agal, 359 West Twentyeighth street, can tell you about them. He knows bells from the time primitive man shook dry seeds in a gourd to the present w T hen man plays beautiful melodies on the carillon. He is shown above, telling about the old dinner bell, the finishing touch to every Hoosier farm. To the right are shown a row of bells which really are flower pots. You wouldn't think they were musical, but you haven’t heard John play “Hot Cross Buns” on them with the stick he holds in his hand. John learned about bells along with his third grade classmates at Benjamin Franklin school No. 36. at 2801 North Capitol aveenue. All the pupils have taken up the subject, and have traced the bells from their origin. Many of the pupils have drawn pictures of outstanding examples. Others have written short essays about certain bells. They know about the tinkly glass bells of th eChinese, of the discordant cow bell, of the historic Liberty bell, and of chimes. Want to know anything about bells?

Every week, the sixth grade at John McCormick school, No. 30, at 40 North Miley avenue, splits into two equal sections, which hold competition in spelling. To the vinner goes the ■•spoils’’—a huge “Lone Eagle” airplane sticker. And the losing side? It gets only a small “slow poke” plane.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GO TO COURT ON MATHTANGLES When Geometry Gets Too Tough, Trial Is Held. “Q. E. D.” changes to “Guilty” in the solid geometry classes of Adolph F. Thomas at Broad Ripple high school. Any time a pupil finds that a geometric problem is too hard for him the problem, and not the pupil, goes on trial. The class is turned into a courtroom, the problem is accused, of being a nuisance, a pupil who claims to have been able to solve the problem is assigned to the defense counsen, and Instructor Thomas appoints himself judge. The class is the jury. No statistics are available as to the number of pupils who can swear that they have read nothing of the case. The plaintiff opens the case by telling the jury why he thinks the defendant is guilty. He accuses the opposing lawyer of being unable to work the problem, and of being incapable of defending his client. Then the defense takes the floor. He explains the how and why of his solution of the exercise. He calls witnesses (from the jury) who testify to the correctness of his statement. The jury takes the. case under advisement, and returns the verdict—which has little weight with the judge. If the defense counsel fails to win the case, another trial is called with anew attorney.

DENIAL OF TRUCK CO. PETITION IS LOOMING Rail Men Appear to Be Winning Fight Before Commission. Denial of the petition of the newly organized Store Door Delivery, Inc., to operate a truck system to all corners of the state, loomed today as the hearing continued before the public service commission.

Bureau Fears for Life Unless Heavy Rains Fall. B,y Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—While the drought of 1930, the severest on record, has been “broken” officially, the rains have been insufficient to replenish the sub-soil moisture necessary to the life of deep-rooted trees. Unless the rains this winter j are especially heavy, next year will see increasingly large numbers of dead and dying trees. Already many j of those which line the driveways in and around this city have succumbed to the lack of moisture. Latest reports from the U. S. weather bureau show that southeastern United States, from Maryland down to northern Florida, at present is experiencing very dry conditions. South Carolina, Georgia, and eastern Alabama are especially hard hit. Tennessee, Kentucky, northern Arkansas, and parts of Illinois, however, have had good rains within the last few days. ASSAIL U. S. JUSTICE Mexican Press Scores Acquittal of Rubio-Gomez Slayers.

Speakers included J. A. Colescott, Columbus, 0., imperial representative for the realm of Indiana and Mrs. Laura M. Foote, Indianapolis, realm commander for Indiana klan women.

PUPILS MAKE PUPPETS FOR SCHOOL PLAY Old Stocking and Rubber Sponges Are Material for No. 20 Fourth-Graders. The puppets are acting today at school No. 20, at 1125 Spruce street, where the pupils of the fourth grade are staging the play, “Rumplestilkin,” in five scenes, for their schoolmates. Today’s production is the first of the entertainments which the fourth-graders will stage. Their plans call fvr a short marionette musical play to be given before the Parent-Teacher Association meeting Dec. 3. The January Parent-Teacher meeting will see the dramatization of a fairy story. Puppets in the plays are made by the pupils from whatever materials they have at hand. Old stockings, rubber sponges and adhesive tape all find their way into the manufacture of a regular little dummy. Faces are made by sculpturing a ■ clay head, making a plaster cast of the face, and then pressing paper i into the cast so that it conforms to i the iesired features. Bodies are made with rubber sponges, covered with old stockings. The miniature stage has been built at the stair landing, so that j the audience may view the puppet productions from the hall below. Eight dummies take part in the play presented today, with eight ! pupils pulling the strings from above the stage. In addition, another doll is used to announce the scenes.

Ingrown Nail Turns Right Out. A few drops of “Outgro” in the crevice of the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. “Outgro” is a harmless antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists.
