There is no limit to the number of persons who can enter and more bovs, as well as girls, are asked to join thp ranks of contestants. Entrants in the under 14-year-old class are at a minimum so far, due mostly to children of that age be- , ing in school.

Thp public will be admitted free to all events. One of the entries Saturday was August Sharkey, 28, of 237 Erst Minnesota street. Eleven Speed Events Mr. Sharkey has practiced fancy skating for a number of years, and has promised to use his full assortment of tricks toward winning the cup offered for the best fancyskater. Mr. Sharkey is able to do many dance steps, including the Russian tap dance, one of the hardest steps to perform on rollers. In figure skating he is able to do such difficult tricks as the “two toe" and “one foot” whirls. The fancy skating event is the only one out of the racing class, and judgment will be passed on the speed, smoothness and gracefulness of the performer. There are several old timers in Indianapolis, or elsewhere in the state, who are able to do a number of tricks, and The Times and Jilock's would like to see them come orward either for the racing events br fancy skating. Floor is Fast Some persons, children especially, who never have skated on hardwood. should get thrills galore out of their first trip on the rink floor, where the skates roll smoother and faster, and unbelievable speed can be made. Only seven days remain in which to enter the derby, and The Times suggests that you enter at the earliest possible date in order that pairings may be made. If you have not signed up already, go to Blocks today, and ask for your free entry blank. Fill out the blank and leave it with the salesman or saleslady from whom you obtained the blank. More particulars concerning the derby will be published in The Times this week, so fill out your entry blank, practice up on your speed and endurance, and watch The Times for a full list of events and names of officials. 1,560 Homeless After Fire By rnited Press MUKDEN.

LEAGUE MEETS AS WAR CLOUDS CLOAK PARLEY Seven Major Issues Face Delegates; Solutions Held Unlikely. By United Press GENEVA. May 14.—The League of Nations council met today in an atmosphere of unrelieved gloom to consider the world’s troubles and seek, solutions for major problems affecting Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. A war, an impending war. mass cruelties, complaints of oppression and the ever-present disarmament situation were among items w - hich included: 1. The Gran Chaco war betw - een Bolivia and Paraguay, which it is charged munitions manufacturers are prolonging. 2. The Saar plebiscite to be held next year, and Nazi activities in the territory. 3. China's relations with Japan. 4. Disarmament. 5. Hungary's complaint of unfriendly Yugoslavian activities on the frontier. 6. Liberia's alleged oppression of the Kroo tribes in the African interior. The Leticia dispute between Colombia and Peru, which may lead to war within a few weeks. Liberia to Be Warned It was indicated that the council would take no important action on six of the items but would act firmly against little Liberia, Negro republic—probably sending foreign warships to make a demonstration off its coast to persuade acceptance of a program for financial reconstruction. In the Chaco situation the council had the report of its special rpmmission, submitted Saturday and was to decide whether as a last effort to end the fighting, to fix responsibility for the war on either, nation. It was expected that action would be deferred. The Saar plebiscite item was expected to arouse France to protest against Nazi activities in the territory and to support the demand of G. G. Knox, chairman of the Saar governing body, for an international police force to preserve order. Postponement Is Likely It is believed action will be postponed until September. The league’s special China commission, and the council, will consider Japan's “hands off" declaration and its own plans for China's reconstruction. It was undertsood that the league would avoid any firm action here. and. in deference to Japan, repudiate its own agent, Dr. Ldwig Rjachman. who. Japan asserts, engaged in political activities in China. The Hungarian matter is anew one. aid here, too, action must be deferred pending preparations of formal charges by Hungary.

WAY IS OPEN FOR STRIKERS AT REAL SILK HOSIERY MILLS TO RETURN TO WORK * Many of the strikers at the Real Silk Hosiery Mills are refraining from returning to work because they have been misled as to the actual situation. False reports have been circulated that J. A. Goodman, the official of the Company in charge of manufacturing, would not re-employ any one who had been on strike. Mr. Goodman neither employs nor discharges employes. This is entirely a function of the Employes Mutual Benefit Association. The fact is that a number of knitters formerly in our employ have already returned through the regular employment channels of the E. M. B. A. and are now working. So far, no person has been employed who has not heretofore worked in our mills. The way is open for any former employe to apply for work. The true situation is stated in the following excerpt from a letter written May 7 to the government conciliators by the board of the Employes Mutual Benefit Association of Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Inc., following a meeting with the conciliators: I 0 “We are willing to take back, as rapidly as possible, all employes who have quit and who make application for re-employment, which applications will be acted upon in accordance with the standards of the E. M. B. A.” Any of these former employes desiring employment should file application by mail, addressed to the E. M. B. A. Board at the Real Silk Hosiery Mills, giving name, home address and telephone number. The receipt of all such applications will be acknowledged promptly and work will be assigned as rapidly as possible. The average earnings of the knitters who are on strike were s34.so—an average of approximately $7 a day—and some were earning as high as as SSO a week. These earnings are again available to them. / * REAL SILK HOSIERY MILLS, Inc. By G. A. EFROYMSON, President

MOTOR CLUB ASKS HIGHWAY WIDENING High Speed Cars Demand It, Todd Stoops Says. Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club, said today his organization urges widening of all main arterial highways by the state highway commission, because of the speed maintained by the newer automobiles, trucks and busses. “When the state highway commission was created in 1919. after an intensive drive by organized motorists in Indiana, “said Mr. Stoops,” the motorist was content with any kind of pavement, of any width, in order to get out of the mud and dust. “Then came the trucks and busses. Now due to the speed maintained by all types of automobiles, including trucks and busses, together with the width and length of motor vehicles it is imperative that our main roads be widened at once,” Mr. Stoops asserted.
