Plans for a system of barter and exchange among members of the Leisure Hour clubs in Indianapolis will be taken up in detail within the next month, according to Miss Gertrude Brown, who will address the Oak Hill Club tonight. The Oak Hill Men s Club will be organized. Miss Brown this week returned from a survey of the eight production units organized in Dayton, under the character formation division of the Community Fund. These units are organized similar to Leisure Hour clubs, and have put into operation a barber shop, a grist mill, where they grind their own whole wheat and corn, and a bakery, according to Miss Brown. Seek Land for Jobless “We hope to be able to help the people in these Leisure Hour clubs to do something of the same sort,” Miss Brown said, in explanation of the barter and exchange plans for work and articles which are being inaugurated in the local clubs. “The Dayton units first started this work when the men cultivated land, and the women canned the surplus products produced.” Miss Brown believes the first thing that can bo done in the Indianapolis clubs will be to obtain land to be cultivated by unemployed men. She says it will be of advantage to have a scientific social director, possibly from Butler university, to help in the work. Start Co-operative Work The women of the Oak Hill Club already have started the co-opera-tive work, with the making of a , comfort. They hold a sewing meeting each Tuesday. Miss Brown is a member of the League for Industrial Democracy. Dwight Ritter, manager of the Leisure Hour programs, also will speak at the meeting tonight. The men's club will have weekly meetings. Final plans for the institute to be held Jan. 25 under the sponsorship . of twelve social and civic organizations, co-cpcrating with the Leisure Hour movement, were made today. The institute, which will be under the direction of Robert K. Murray of the national recreation commit- ; tee, will close Monday, Jan. 30, with a meeting demonstrating old-fash-ioned dances and games. The meeting probably will be held in Tomlinson hall. Groups specializing in old-fashioned square and round dances are asked to get in touch with Ritter. _ The Olympic Club will present a . safety program tonight under di- j rection of Sergeant Frank Owen.

Works Board Will Spend $300,000 in Widening and Resurfacing. Extensive street improvements will be made this year, with all sections of the city sharing in the benefits, the board of works has announced. Work will begin as soon as weather permits.

On the west side, improvement of Michigan street from Holmes to Tibbs avenues will complete Michigan as a thoroughfare from the east city limit to the west. Northslde arteries which will be resufaced are Central avenue between Thirty-fourth and Thirtyeight streets, and Thirty-eighth street from Sutherland avenue to the eastern city limit, where it will meet with the recently improved county road. Widening and resurfacing of New York street between Highland avenue and East street will complete the street’s improvement from downtown to Emerson avenue, and will give Irvington residents three arteries, Washington, Michigan and New York street.

Roar Softly! Manufacturer Off Again on ‘Lion Hunt’; It’s a Secret This Time.

QT. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 17. Denver M. Wright set out Monday upon his second “homemade” lion hunting expedition. The leather goods manufacturer loaded two full grown lions on to a truck, and left for an unannounced destination with the plan of turning the beasts loose, then hunting them. Wright held his first “lion hunt” last October. He freed two lions on a Mississippi river island. While he and his party were at lunch, two deputy sheriffs and a newspaper man killed the lions. This time, Wright said he would keep secret the location of his hunting grounds so there would be no interference. Before leaving, he allowed himself and the lions to be photographed by his son, Charles, and a nephew, Gerald Wright, who operated motion picture cameras, SIMON ZAHN, 78, IS DEAD AT HOME HERE Funeral Services for City Man to Be Held Tuesday at 9.

$23,000 LOOT RECOVERED BY BOMBINGSCARE Package Feared to Contain Infernal Machine Has Holdup Booty. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 17.—An Infernal machine scare led to recovery of $22,538.25 in securities and SBOO in cash stolen by five men from the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific mail room in Minneapolis several weeks ago, it was learned today. William Skidmore, scrap iron dealer with a wide reputation along Chicago's rialto, figured in the recovery, although he never had possession of the package containing the securities and money, according to K. P. Aldrich, postal inspector. Wrapped in plain paper, with Skidmore's name and address printed in crude, block characters, but no other writing, the package was mailed at the Minneapolis postoffice almost immediately after the robbery, and delivered to Skidmore the next day. Skidmore refused to accept the package. He had no business transactions with Minneapolis firms that could account for such a delivery. He feared the package contained an infernal machine, judging from the bulk. For a day or two, after being returned to the postoffice for further investigation, the package was guarded carefully, then turned ever to Aldrich's office. Aldrich found in It the bundle of miscellaneous securities, Liberty bonds and coupons, which had been consigned to banks, and SBOO in bills, which comprised the loot. Skidmore is unable to explain why he was made the addressee.

One of those who received no loot j now is a prisoner here, the rumors ! said.

Coroner J. Roy Keaton said the story might be true. He doubted that Boyd had made anew enemy in the short time he had been imprisoned. Boyd's picture will be sent to New York police officials, prison authorities said. They declared there was little likelihood that the $50,000 mentioned in prison gossip was the ransom Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh paid in hope of having his kidnaped son returned. Hospital Staff Elects Dr. A. W. Weyerbacher was named president of the staff at St. Vincent's hospital in the annual election Monday night. Dr. M.

VIEWS GIVEN ON FARM AID BY ROOSEVELT President-Elect Proposes Allotment Plan Cover Only Wheat. Cotton. By United Pnm WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Presi-dent-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt favors restricting the domestic allotment farm bill to cotton and wheat, Senator Ellison D. Smith (Dem., S. C.) said today.

mittee would see fit to eliminate all products put in with the eception of the two major crops, cotton and wheat.” Smith said Mr. Roosevelt had indicated a willingness to allow cotton members in the senate to amend the bill so as to provide whatever form of relief for the cotton farmer they thought most desirable, G 6 G 1.1 QUID .
