PUBLIC LIBRARY CHECK SYSTEM CAPTURES THIEF Housewives Pleased With New Service Which Cares for Parcels. City Librarian Luther L Dickerson as a lover of good books is very happy. Hix pet scheme for checking packages at the central library ha r* .jiei m the capture of one badly frightened ■'bibliophile," or. In plain terms, a book thief. The checking system provides that every lockage brought into the library’ must be jrft at a desk and that every book leaving the building must be inspected. Since Its inception April 1. more than 8.500 packages have been checked, an average ol approximately forty a day. Mr Dickerson admits good humoredly that there are some emharassing moments caus'd by the system. A young mother brought her baby into the library, saw the checking *ign and demanded that the handsome young man at the desk hold her baby. After a hasty consultation, a young woman assistant librarian was drafted to hold the baby while the mother contentedly wandered among the shelves. The most aggravating mystery in the history of the system, according to Mr. Dickerson, is the story of a young, well-dressed man carrying a brief rase who walked up and down the outside corridor eyeing the checking sign After a few moments he abruptly left the library. The best bet of the librarians is that the brief case contained some liquor which the owner did not feel he o*.ght to trust to the care of unworldly librarians. The life of a checker is not always a happy one. Housewives are in the habit of coming to the library after marketing. Often enough the checker may have a roast beef in one hand a live chicken in the other. The •■bibliophile.” who was apprended as he was attempting to smuggle a volume out of the library, was turned over to the police but not prosecuted. After all. a librarian must have some sympathy for one who wants books so much he is willing to steal them. The women, boasts Mr. Dickerson. have voiced the greatest appreciation over the system. They ran leave their bundles and cares behind and delve into the world of fiction. DENTAL CLINIC FUNDS BOOSTED BY ‘AUCTION’ Linns C lull \clcls to Sum for Children’s Service.

“Flirtation Walk’ Finest of ‘Date Night’ Movies _BV WALTER D. HICKMAN

WHEN the shouting is all over. the verdict will be that "Flirtation Walk ’ is by far the best, the most colorful, and the most exciting movie that Dick Powell has mad° in his several years in the movies. Dick has a bigger acting chance in this story of army life placed in an Hawaiian setting and later among the cadets and officers at 1 Point. H‘ . of his act-

iL^ m

ing ability than r-ver before, and no longer does he appear t/> be camera shy. If I am not all wrong. ‘Flirtation Walk” will make Dick Powell the screen's undisputed matinee idol. His voice, as far as recording :s concerned, is a ’natural” and hej has an intriguing.

good-natured way about him which makes him a favorite even when he plays the role of a "smarty” and a bad lad. He ;s able to put over a love song as effectively as many who have been in the big musical shows on Broadway for years. Powell has progressed as a comedian, as well as a singer, and he certainly is going ahead rapidly. Dick told me when he was in Indianapolis recently that he had the grandest time of his life making the cadet scenes at West Point. I believe it because he radiates happiness and youth in the picture

Winners Will Be Named in Stretch-A-Way Contest

Indiana Girl Will Receive $75 or Opportunity in Follies. A busy week-end on the Indiana Roof, where Bob Nolan and his music are featured, will start with a special Thanskgiving dance tonight and the finals of the Stretch--A-Way contest tomorow evening. The roof, ordinarily not opened on Thursday evening, will have dancing tonight from 9 until 1 and will feature a twentv-minute floor show, starting at 11:15. The Stretch-A-Way contest, which has been conducted on the roof each Friday night for the last five weeks, was organized to find the most perfectly proportioned young woman in the state and to assist her along the road to fame and fortune by giving her a passport into either the theatrical or business world. The Stretch-A-Way Company of Chicago, makers of a device favored by Ziegfeld "Follies” for exercise purposes, instigators of the contest, have offered a position to the winner or a cash prise of 575. The Indiana Roof has arranged an audition for her with the Ziegfeld "Follies” when they come to English’s next Thursday. Arrangements also have been made with the casting director of Warner Brothers’ Hollywood studios to view the photos of the most perfectly porportioned young woman

as he strives to become an officer and a gentleman. Shamed into becoming an officer, as well as a gentleman. by Kit Fitts 'Ruby Keelen, Dick turns out to be both. The rough-and-ready fellow who must be in every army movie is played this time by Pat O Brien as Sergeant Scrapper> Thornhill. •The musical part of the movie does not come until Powell sings a grand song during the Hawaiian Flirtation Dance number. It is a beautiful scene for the eye, as well as very, very tunful for the ear. Miss Keeler is not called upon to do much until she is named the leading lady in a play written by Powell for the annual cadet show at West Point. She does splendidly in these scenes and shows once more that she is not merely trading upon her name and the fact that she is A1 Jolson's wife. "Flirtation Walk” is the finest date night movie of the season. It breathes youth, love, adventure and melody. I know you will be “tickled pink” when you witness the several parades of cadets. Just grand —that's "Flirtation Walk.” n a a OTHER Indianapolis theaters today offer. "It’s a Gift” on the screen and the Mills brothers on the stage at the Circle; "The White Parade,” with Loretta Young at the Apollo; Greta Garbo in "The Painted Veil” at Loew’s Palace; "Little Miss Marker” at the Ohio, and “The Sacrifice of Isaac” at the Granada.

and her ten runners-up for screen possibilities. Any of the young women considered to be screen types will be given a screen test with a view to later giving them a part in one of Warners’ musical productions, if the test is successful. Fiften girls were chosen last Friday night to compete in the finals tomorrow night. They will have as their competitors the winners from other Indiana cities’ preliminaries and young women who live in cities and towns where Stretch-A-Way contests were not held. Such young women are asked to go up to the Indiana Roof not later than 9 p. m. tomorrow. New Gas Schedule Approved The public service commission yesterday approved anew schedule granting reduction in gas rates charged in Elkhart by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company.

NEW COLLEGE EXPOSE NEAR, PROBERS BARE Investigators Will Reveal Scholarship, Athletic Evils Again. B]l t'nitrd Pr . * NEW YORK. Nov. 29 —College athletics—particularly football—will be ripped apart again in an expose that will include general scholarship and enrollment evils. An echo of the famous Carnegie Foundation bulletin 23 of 1929 will be heard in January, coming from the Association of American Colleges. which already has begun a nation-wide investigation. The entire situation will be "exposed, discussed and remedied, if possible,” during the association's annual meeting at Atlanta. Jan. 17-18. Dr. Robert L. Kelly, executive secretary of the association, said today. "The general athletic, scholarship and enrollment situation throughout the nation is one of the worst in American educational history,” he said. "Do not get the idea that these evils are confined merely to recruiting and subsidizing in athletics. They permeate the entire business of obtaining students—a highly competitive business during the depression.” Increased recruiting and subsidizing is attributed to three causes: <T> The necessity of attracting large crowds to pay for costly athletic plants built before the depression; (2) the necessity of obtaining funds through football to pay the way of other sports and prevent

athletic curtailment; <3> the value of “big time” football and other teams as an advertising medium to attract students. While the Association of American Colleges already has gathered information on what it terms “evils.” the Middle States Association of Colleges Along the Atlantic Seaboard expects to call for an investigation in January and the rumbling is sweeping through other organizations, according to reports. The Carnegie Foundation, which put the finger on many schools in 1929. and in its bulletin of last FA)ruary singled out Notre Dame and the University of Southern California as examples of athletic commercialism. is cognizant of the present situation. Howard J. Savage, secretary, said university presidents and other officials recently had expressed “sharp dissatisfaction with conditions—even sharper than last year.” The foundation, however, will not attempt an investigation unless invited to do so by the college organizations. What the expose will reveal will not be divulged in advance. The investigation is being conducted by a committee of seven, headed by Charles J. Turk, president of Centre college in Kentucky. “But the lid will be blown off. It will be the most interesting meeting in the twenty-one-year history of our organization,” Dr. Kelly said. "Just what form the expose will take, I can not say as yet—or whether individual institutions will be singled out as examples.”
