NAB DBIVEB FOR TAXI FIREWORKS Cops Not Impressed by One-Man Celebration; List Charges. “Cutting Out the Cutout’’ was the title of a one-act comedy enacted Tuesday by police and Lawrence Danahey, 1124 College avenue, taxi driver, who staged his own private July Fourth celebration and later found himself booked on traffic charges. Motorcycle policemen Earl Davis and Ernest Haught said they saw Danahey backfiring the cab motor and doing 60 miles an hour on East Tenth street. They chased Danahey and caught the one-man celebration about a mile away. “Cut out that cutout,” ordered the officers. “Just having a little July 4th celebration,” explained Danahey, “give me a break, will you?” The officers didn’t think it was a very good explanation. “You’re lucky you didn’t break your neck or someone's else,” they countered, booking Danahey on charges of speeding, reckless driving. drunken driving and driving with an open muffler. Today, Danahey appeared in municipal court four before Judge William H. Sheaffer and pleaded guilty to all charges. He -was fined a total of S3O and costs and sentenced to sixty days at the state penal farm. He will have to serve 100 days, if he can not pay the fines and costs.

Such Monkey Business! It Spoils First Swim Lesson BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer

NOW I know just how it feels to have someone steal the show. I have all the sympathy in the world with the star who sees the ingenue walk off with her act. Assignments on newspapers vary. Sometimes they are just commonplace; sometimes difficult. Once in a while they offer a real thrill. That's what happened when I was assigned to take my first lesson on the afternoon of July 4 in The Times Broad Ripple pool swimming course. Boy, that was an assignment!

ntfie wdfc an uppun unity tu jcain the fine art of swimming from a real expert. Earl Montgomery, instructor in swimming at the Broad Ripple pool, has outlined a complete course for beginners, which will be given in The Times-Broad Ripple free swim course, starting next Monday. It includes six lesssons, beginning with simple games guaranteed to conquer fear of the water, correct breathing under water; co-ordina-tion of arms, legs and body in the intricacies of the American crawl stroke and finally a review and test. You Get a Certificate Then the swimmer is presented with a certificate, authorized by ! James Clark, director of life sav- | ing of the Indianapolis chapter of ! the American Red Cross. I have ■ my heart set on that certificate! I arrived at the pool late in the afternoon, with high hopes of tak- j ing my first lesson. The water was filled with swimmers, cavorting about in the water in gay fashion. | “Never mind.” I mentally assured myself, “In six lessons you'll , be swimming just like that.” Then things happened. Jocko, j one of the pet monkeys at the park, became restive. Curiosity concerning the lock on his cage helped him. In a few minutes he was at large in the park, and the star performer in a glorious chase around the grounds It was grand and exciting while it lasted. Jocko ended up in genuine monkey bewilderment at one end of the swimming pool. He didn't understand why a little Fourth of July independence on his part should cause such excitement Jocko Is Recaptured Disgusted with the commotion, 1 he allowed himself to be recaptured by Frank Barnett, one of the life-i guards at the pool, and returned to his cage. I was just a little disgusted, too. If it hadn't bea| for the water show that followed, I probably should

have wept. I watched the specialty acts, which first were introduced by Montgomery, in the Biltmore pool, in Miami last winter. Gradually I recovered some of my good humor. They were unusual acts—swimmers attempting to walk on a greased pole, and falling off, kersplash, into the water; a wrestling match between Ed Slaughter and Hugh O’Gara on a floating raft; a fifty-yard swim under water by James Moore of Belle Isle, Detroit. I saw comic diving by Arno Wade; fancy diving, and a spectacular illuminated porpoise swum. In this, Neil Arnold swam under water in the darkened pool, his body outlined in colored lights. Montgomery and Ollie Baus, head of the sporting goods department of the Sears, Roebuck store, did a “human fish" stunt. Montgomery demonstrated the government secret service trick, originated during the World war for the purpose of transporting ammunition and supplies over streams under fire. Stunt Is Difficult In this stunt, he pulled a raft carrying several people across the water by a harness fastened to his shoulders, while he walked on the bottom of the pool, carrying a one hundred pound bag of sand in his arms. The show ended with a fire dive, in which Miss Ella Carver, her suit in flames, dived into a pool of ignited gasoline on the surface of the pool from a seventy-foot ladder. “I’ll come back tomorrow for my first lesson." I told Montgomery, after the show. As I left the park, I paid a quiet visit to Jocko’s cage. I examined the lock carefully. I gave Jocko a very dirty look. “Don't be doing any Houdini stunts tomorrow, Jocko,” I said, severely. After all, who wants to compete for the spotlight with, a monkey.

Following the pageant, which concluded with the forming of a living American flag, the mayor accompanied Miss Liberty to a special section set aside for the children, and just couldn’t get away from them, being forced to sit in the center of the group. Golf Courses Crowded Asa finale, all the performers and officers of the Grotto marched around the field.
