Speedway Visitors to Dance Indiana Ballroom Will Be Scene of Frolic Sunday Night. Members of the Indiana roof ballroom staff have spent a busy week arranging entertainment as well as dance music for race visitor* and local dancers who attend the speedway dances to be given on the roof tonight and tomorrow night. Gary Gross and his orchestra, who opened a limited engagement in the ballroom last night, where they will be featured again tonight, have challenged another orchestra to a battle of music Sunday night. The battle will start at 8:30 and will be waged continuously from that time until dawn Monday morning. From time to time the dancers will be amused by a group of professional entertainers as well as the members of both orchestras. A miniature race will be staged to add color to the race dance. Persons attending the frolic will be invited to choose a winner at a place established on the ballroom lounge. Prizes will be awarded the winners. The ballroom, usualy closed on Monday evening, will be opened for dancing next Monday. Gross and his orchestra will again be featured. Gross, W’ho appeared on the roof last season, is a vocalist and director of the orchestra. Haag drug stores of this city are sellling money-saving tickets for the Sunday night dance at the Indiana ballroom. Fireworks Display Planned Riverside to Entertain Speedway Visitors Monday. ‘ Five hundred miles of thrills and fun,” is the timely way in which the Riverside amusement park management describes the week-end program of entertainment at the West Thirtieth street fun resort. Riverside, for many years, has been a favorite of Speedway race visitors, and preparations have been made to welcome thousands tonight, Sunday and Memorial day. As usual. Riverside will be open all night Sunday, the night before the 500-mile race. For Sunday night, a display of fireworks is planned, with expert pyrotechnists from the factory coming here to supervise the exhibition. There will be hundreds of beautiful aerial bouquets and elaborate set pieces, ail to be set, off in the big balloon park in the center of the resort. Chief Voschell is sending a squad of city firemen to look after the safety of the visitors. Monday afternoon, the holiday crowds will be invited to witness a balloon ascension and multiple parachute leaps by Edna Huggins, a pupil of Mile High Ruth, the Hoosier "balloon king." The ascension will occur after the completion of the Speedway race to give out-of-town folk an opportunity to witness the aerial spectacle. Park Will Open Its Season Broad Ripple Has Added Many New Events for Summer. A fireworks display and special acts by swimmers and divers in the pool will feature the Decoration day program to be held at Broad Ripple park. The park will open officially Sunday, revealing many new improvements and conveniences which have been added for the public during the 1032 season. These improvements include additions to the zoo, new roadways, which make it possible for patrons to drive directly into the picnic grounds or to the pool side. So convenient is one of the new roads that swimmers may dress at home and step dliectly from their automobiles into the pool. Special ticket men will sell at the gate, making it unnecessary for the automobile riders to leave their cars even to obtain tickets. For the second consecutive year, there is anew baby monkey at the park. Until last year no baby monkey had been born at the park and the events were not expected since the type monkey there rarely has joung in captivity. So the new one this year was even more of a surprise. New rides have been added, one ;alled "Jiggles" being especially attractive. All animals were taken from winter quarters this week and transferred to their outdoor cages. Workmen have finished two weeks of painting and other general repairs, which have placed the northeast side amusement plant in the best shape in years. The fireworks display to be given Monday will be one of the most comprehensive ever given at the park, It is deemed.

Bedroom and Bath” and "The Passionate Plumber.” At present he Is preparing to direct Keaton in "Footlights,” adapted from the Clarence Budington Kelland story which appeared aerially in the Saturday Evening, Pont.
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS
SOVIET RUSSIA IS INCLUDED IN LIST OF TOURS First-Hand View of 5-Year Plan Progress Now Is Possible. Soviet Russia, the land of the world's greatest experiment, is open to American tourists. That does not yet mean than a man can pack his bag and take a trip through Russia, but he can arrange through the travel department of the Union Trust Company for several trips this summer into the bear’s territory’. The vacationist this year is offered more trips of unusual interest at lower rates than ever before in the history of personally conducted tours. Recent drastic steamship reductions, one of them a straight cut of 24 per cent, make available to slimmer purses more pleasures than heretofore. Alaska will remain one of the most attractive destinations, and the northern lands of Europe, too. offer tempting lures. The Canadian Rockies can b*- seen at little cost, one of the trips taking seven days and including a 120-mile motor ride through the parks. Lake Wapta. Lake Louise. Takakkaw fallsEmerald lake and Banff are Included. Mediterranean trips. Including the Holy Land, are expected to be popular on account of much lowered rates. West Indian trips are made with great frequency, and range from a three-day to a three tveeks' tour. Not all of the trips planned take one out of the United States, either. The Great Lakes, Yellowstone, California and Olympic games, all of the national parks and Washington and New York are specially favored this year by the railroads. There are three vacation trips to New York offered at astonishingly low rates. One of these begins May 27, for the Memorial day holidays; another July 1 and a third over the Labor day period in September. Rates on these never have been equaled In low cost. Trips and tours of any description are offered by the Union Trust Company's travel department, available from now on, that will assure any vacationist a trouble-free period of enjoyment. MRS.

A tt motive Terrace Is Being Built for Hotel Guests
Work has been started on extensive improvements, including remodeling and redecorating, at the Antlers hotel, it has been announced by Manager R. I. Griffith. Among the changes being made at the Antlers is construction of an artistic terrace, of Bedford stone, where guests may enjoy comfortable chairs on hot summer days. The hotel’s new studio rooms are in great demand. Manager Griffith is a great auto racing fan. He numbers among his personal acquaintance most of the better known drivers of the country, and is looking forward to meeting many of them at the Indianapolis Speedway race Memorial day. Griffith has an acquaintanceship most persons would envy. His hotel business has enabled him to win friendship of a large number of persons in diversified lines. Griffith is a friendly sort of mar. who takes a lively personal interest i in the welfare and comfort of the thousands who stop at the Antlers, and those to whom the hotel is a i home. In fact, many Indianapolis citizens who reside there count I "Griff” as one of the principal attractions of the hotel. The Antlers this season Is enjoy!mg a full share of the trade. It offers a great amount of attention to the traveling public.

Rose Company Plan Gives Each Worker Personal Interest in Firm. Large enough to serve with efficiency the largest commercial account, yet small enough to take a personal interest in every individual transaction, is the way Art Rose, head of the Rose Tire Company, 365 South Meridian street, describes the personnel set-up of the company. By dividing its business into departments. the Rose Tire Company, distributors of Miller tires and accessories and Vesta batteries, is able to give motorists as well as fleet owners the brand of prompt, efficient and low cost service that brings them back. Without relinquishing his personal interest and supervision, the delegation of responsibility has resulted in a higher standard of service to the motorist, according to Rose. J. Clark Hale is In charge of store operation. Frank P. Coyle heads the dealer and commercial departments. Harvey C. Dux is responsible for the smooth operation of the battery department. Arthur Harding supervises the tire service department and Sam Rose i.° in charge of customer contact. Mrs. Dora Talbert reigns over the office and Harry S. Joseph is in charge of advertising and publicity. The Rose Tire Company now in its sixth year, has shown a remarkable growth. It now ranks as one of the largest independent tire distributors in the country. Recently it w’as found necessary to double the size of its floor space in order to expand retail and service departments that had outgrown their quarters. Rose is sponsor of the Art Rose Special which is being groomed to participate in the 500-mile race Monday. The car qualfied at better than 108 miles an hour last Saturday. It is piloted by Joe Russo with Bill Kiser, riding mechanic. Both are local boys.

Car May Be Damaged by Clogged Cooling System
Radiator Should Be Kept Clean to Prevent Costly Repairs. Most motorists fail to realize the importance of the water cooling system in their cars. The purpose of this, of course, is to hold down the heat of the cylinders to a temperature low enough to operate satisfactorily. That word satisfactorily means more than simply to operate, too, for a cylinder may not be too hot to permit the piston to slide back and forth and yet may be too hot to allow the oil to lubricate this action. The car may not be stuck, but the oil may be ruined and the cylinders damaged. Radiators are engineered according to the needs of the car. They have a margin of safety, but nevertheless should operate at full capacity even during the winter time. An obstruction or a leak reduces the capacity, permits an engine to overheat, and often lays the groundwork for a big repair bill. In warm weather this danger is increased considerably. Hence it is good practice to be sure of the radiator before the scorching days are at hand. Many drivers realize this, and Reed-Mueller, the radiator experts at 111-11.) Kentucky avenue, have been kept busy as a result. An in-

crease in the number of men on their force enables them to do the work properly and promptly. This company has a method of cleaning out the cooling system of cars that has made the old-fash-ioned idea of boiling the radiator obsolete. It cleans not only the radiator, but the entire system of water passageways. If repairs are needed, this concern is well qualified to do the right kind of a job, and it is sheer folly to postpone this work until cylinders are scored and piston rings worn out of round, with all the expense of the necessary correction.

ASK REPEAL OF ‘BONEDRY’ ACT G. 0. P. Delegates Decide on Planks. District meeting of Lake county delegates to the Republican state convention this year will be a mere formality, it was learned here today, as result of the new First district delegates already having caucused and selected national convention delegates, presidential elector candidate, and state convention committee members. Planks favoring repeal of the ! Wright "bone dry" law and the eighteenth amendment, enactment of a registration law for voters, ! remedial tax laws, revision of banki ing laws to protect depositors and laws providing greater protection of natural resources, were suggested by the delegates for the state plat- ; form. National convention delegates selected are William P. Gleason. United States Steel Corporation superintendent, and Sidmon McHie, Lake County Times publisher. Alternates will be Mayor Thomas O'Connor. East Chicago, and Victor Roberts, Lowell. H. S. Norton, Gary Land Company. was named First district presidential elector candidate, with Mayor Owen Roper, Hobart, as edntingent elector. The delegates named John W. Scott, First district chairman and former state representative, as a member of the resolutions committee. Candidacy of Joseph B. Kyle, former Lake county sheriff, for the Lieutenant Governor nomination was indorsed. At the caucus, Ernest Force definitely removed himself from candidates for attorney-general nomination. Perfumes now are made from strange materials, castor oil being the raw material for certain scents, and coal tar providing a vanilla perfume as sweet as the natural scent.
