TRUSTEES FIND HOME WORKING IS PROFITABLE Accounts Examiners Scan Records, Learn of Some New Features. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Timet Staff Writer Profitable home work, with your wife or other relatives on the pay roll, apparently is the attractive feature of the office of township trustee In the outlying Marion county townships. This was disclosed today through reports of field examiners for the state accounts board. Examination of the nine township trustee offices has been completed with reports submitted to William P. Crosgrove, chief examiner. One of the leaders in the “home work” field is J. Malcolm Dunn, Wayne township trustee, who recently promoted himself to the office of county superintendent of schools by procuring six votes from his fellow trustees. Examination of Dunn's office by the board of accounts disclosed that he kept the telephone line hot during the months in which he was promoting his superintendency. Phone Bill Is $521 Durig the year 1932, which the examination covers, his phone bill was $521.65. Examiners Frank Hesler and Thad L. Major, who made the report, pointed out that he had one phone in his home “office” and an extension in the living quarters of the house. Dunn explained this by saying he handled the poor relief one place and township business at the other. Since not more than S4OO is allowed for such expense in one year, he personally had to return the excess payments. At the other extreme is Harry L. Maze, Acton, Franklin township trustee, who is reported by the telephone company to have had his phone discontinued. SIOO for ‘Decorations’ One of the unique items disclosed in examination of Maze’s books was SIOO for “decorations.” Overpayment of two township teachers was charged against Harry T. Van Cleave of Lawrence township. The money was returned by the teachers, it having been paid through an error in bookkeeping, Van Cleave explained. He also has his office at home and his wife is “clerk." Rent was charged at $l5O for the year. Due to litigation, growing out of letting of school bus contracts, the attorney fees for the township mounted to $350 during the period. Mrs. Maggie G. Maxwell, Washington township trustee, has her office at her home on the Millersville road. However, she varies the formula by employing her son’s wife as “clerk.” Charges $240 Rent Rent charged the township for her home office was $240. She explained that Mrs. Helen Maxwell, who was paid $720 as clerk, did much of the poor relief investigation, although an investigator was employed for several months at SIOO a month. Failure to procure dog taxes from the township assessor resulted in a settlement being made with examiners for $2,364 for 1932 dog taxes due the township. This represented $75 interest, the report shows. Mrs. Maxwell explained that Charles Dailey, the township assessor, had not paid the taxes tvhen the examination was being made and since the money was due it was collected at that time. Office of Omer Green, Perry township trustee, is listed at his home on the Green Stone road. His salary, clerk hire and office rent totaled $2,240, the examiners’ report shows. Here a $27 overpayment of dog tax was returned to the township assessor. Cashier of the Bank Robert E. Hoffman is cashier of the New Augusta state bank, as well as Pike township trustee. His clerk also is in the bank and the office rent was charged at $l2O for the year. Offices of Miss Hannah A. Noone, Center township trustee at 214 North Senate avenue, are the most extensive, due to the millions of dollars of poor relief handled. Miscellaneous items are listed in the report of her office at $1,849.50. In Decatur township, John Routon, whose office is at Camby, deposited $18.60 in excess of receipts in the township fund. This was returned to him by the examiners. No rent or clerk hire was listed by him and his salary was SBIO. Charles M. Walker has an office at Irvington, salary, clerk hire and rent totaling $2,240. expense $453.50 and miscellaneous $705.50, the report shows.

ULTRAVIOLET RAYS AID IN RESTORING HISTORY Visibility of Blurred Names and Figures Brought Back. By Science Service BOSTON, June 14.—8 y turning rays of ultraviolet on some Egyptian grave monuments that not “wear” very well, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts has brought back to visibility names and painted figures long lost to ordinary sight. The monuments, described as being of poor workmanship, were made during a depression period of Egyptian history more than 4,000 years ago. “As works of art they are extremely crude,” explains Dows Dunham, Egyptologist of the museum staff, “reflecting the state of poverty and anarchy under which Egypt suffered from the close of the Old Kingdom to the eleventh dynasty. They are, however, of no little archeological importance, being among the very scanty sources of information at our disposal for this obscure period in Egyptian history.” SCHOOL LEGISLATION IS REVIEWED AT SESSION County Superintendents Discuss Moves by State Assembly.

BIRTH CONTROL THEORYWRONG Nature Achieves Balance in Good Times and Bad, Doctor Finds. BY JULIAN T. BENTLEY Vnited Press Staff Correspondent MILWAUKEE, June 14.—Sectional meetings of the eighty-fourth American Medical Association convention opened today, with physicians studying new achievements in treatment of diseases ranging from toad poisons to cataracts. From papers presented by specialists, doctors learned that persons revived after apparent death have no experience of a “hereafter,” that birth rates appear to shift automatically to meet prevailing economic conditions, that cataracts may be caused by improper diet, and that faces burned beyond recognition now literally may be made over. The common belief that the race is degenerating because upper classes practice birth control and less intelligent classes do not is unfounded, Dr. E. D. Plass of the University of lowa, declared. “Nature seems to establish a mysterious kind of balance which holds vast populations static,” he said. “Even in primitive tribes, where birth control is unknown, fewer children are born when overcrowding or strained economic conditions exist.”

Coe. Norman Buchan, Horace F. Hill, Jayne Hoffman and Elizabeth Bogert Schofield. T Viaboon infnrmoH rpffardirtff

I have been informed regarding some of the plays that Mac Keen is considering producing and his list should create a lot of interest. The second bill probably will be “She Was in Love

With Her Husband’’ and the third will be Oscar Wilde's Isensation, “A [woman of No Importance,” with [MacKeen in the j cast and with Allen [Wallace of Duluth, Minn., acting as [guest conductor. Mac Keen is in | position to obtain [ also “Young Love.” I “The Love Duel” and “Two on The Aisle.” He is also considering doing

Hale Mac Keen

one Ibsen play. Steps are being taken to cool the theater and make some other improvements. MacKeen has his cast for the first production in rehearsal now. Before Mac Keen decided to have a summer season, he asked the Civic Theater membership as well as the general public if they wanted such a season. He was given such definite assurance of support that he was able to go before the board and outline a definite summer policy. The general public is invited to attend these performances as well as the membership. In other words it will be a general box sale. Personally, I am elated that the Civic Theater, its director and acting group as well as its membership and the general public have united in a splendid effort to keep the legitimate stage alive in Indianapolis this summer. Too much praise can not be given Mac Keen and every one associated with him for this ambitious undertaking. And I am going to predict right now and here that Mac Keen will have a highly successful season. That’s how much faith I have in the undertaking. an Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Hold Me Tight” at the Apollo, “When Ladies Meet” at the Palace, “Cocktail Hour” at the Circle, Balabanow Five on the stage and “The Cohens and the Kellys in Trouble”

on the screen at the Lyric, burlesque at the Mutual and Colonial, “Men of America” at the Talbott. “State Trooper" at the Belmont, and “Broadway Bad” at the Mecca.
