OTING REFORM 'WILL SPOIL FUN. POLITICIAN SAYS Complains to Member of Women Voters League Backing Change. ••What are you girls trying to do? Take all the fun out of the pridian?" This was the plaintive bleat of a fjclittmn to whom a member of the league of Women Voters was explaining the workings of the central count system for tabulating ballots - at primaries. L Designed to stop the practice Y>f ■ballot box “stuffing,” the throvlng ■out of supposedly mutilated b-liots ■ r.ri the holding up of election re•eturns in close races so that the fcroper candidates can be "counted Bn ' the plan would provide for a spot where primary ballots Broukt be taken and counted lmBnodiately after closing of the polls. ; rs would be mandatory in counties with cities having fr population of 36 000 or more which Would limit its effect to five counties. Adoption of the proposal would be optional in other counties. Election officials charged with taking ballot boxes to the central counting place would be open to severe penalties if the votes were tampered with on the way. The league first advocated a plan whereby the boxes would be sent through the malls, knowing that no one would dare meddle with a package Intrusted to Uncle Sam, but postal officials in Washington called the idea impractical. A number of politicians breathed ft sigh of relief. T.ie mca.-ure will be introduced in th<* General Assembly soon, backed Airongly by the league. Its supporters say that it will stir fcp a world of angry protest from the practical” politicians who hate i to lose their "fun." But the league has another name for it. MAJ.

The Theatrical World Blind Violinist, Baritone to Give Recital Here BY WALTER D. HICKMAN _____

TWO young blind men will give a postgraduate recital at the ' Indiana School for the Blind Friday night, Feb. 15. Paul McDowell, vloliniit, and pupil of Olive Kiler, and Robert Lancaster, baritone and pupil of Georgia Lsgrigg, will give the recital with Mabel Wiley Leive as accom- . penlst. Mr. McDowell has won for himself ! the recognition of being the finest and most gifted violinist ever graduated from the Indiana School for the Blind. He has a repertoire of the leading concertos, sonatas and concert ' pieces that manv an artist not so | handicapped would be proud to pos- | sess. In the last three years the services of both Mr. McDowell and Mr. Lancaster have been in demand upon the concert stage. On the night before they play at the school here, they will give a concert in Lebanon. The program for the Indianapolis concert will be as follows: ••Bocata Op. 47. No. #” tKreutrerl - ..

The English Boy Choristers are composed of 12 choir boys, chosen from the prominent churches in London. England—and each is a member of the London Choir School. Among this group are a selected number of soloists. They are under the direction of Carlton Borrow. A. R. C. O. A proficient schoolmaster accompanies these boys, while on tour, and they pursue a regular outlined course of study, as if they were at hon '. in the London Choir School. The repertoire of t English Boy

Choristers consists of both sacred and secular music. In both, its beauty of tone and deep devotion are equally apparent. They sing three and four-part anthems of composers, such as Schubert, Byrd, Handel, Brahms and Hiller—and on j their secular program those famous Elizabethan madrigals and part songs. On their last tour through Canada, they were honored with an invitation to the Government House in Ottawa, by the Governor-General and Lady Bessborough—and in Washington, to the White House, by an invitation from Mrs. Roosevelt. This group sang in the cathedrals and churches in New York, Boston, Providence, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington. In many cases the choir had the privilege of joining with their own choirs ir. worship and praise. It was a convincing proof that the age-oid tradition of Angelican Choral Music, famous throughout the world, still charms, still delights and still holds the audience in the spell of its seraphic music. a a a In the Theaters Loew’s Palace—Lionel Barrymore and Frank Lawton in "David Copperfleld” and "The March of Time” short reels.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

'police merit BILL IS READY FOR ASSEMBLY Appointment and Promotion of Firemen Included in Measure. Merit alone will control appointment of members of the Indianapolis police and fire departments if a bill to be offered in the General Assembly with approval of Mayor John W. Kern is adopted. Executive officers of the two departments would be named as at present, but promotions would be made only after competitive examination of applicants by anew promotion board. No permanent appointments to either force would be made until there are five vacancies and then candidates would be designated by the Mayor and public safety board to attend a newly created training school. The five candidates receiving the highest ratings from the merit board would be named. Probationary appointments would be passed upon by a five-member board selected by the Mayor. The chiefs of the police and fire departments, a physician, a physician qualified as a psychistrist and an eminent citizen would be members. Promotions would be made by two promotion boards —one for each department—after competitive examinations to determine the fitness of applications. Members of the board would be the chiefs of the departments and four ranking subordinate officers. Dismissals for misconduct could be made only by the safety board. Disciplinary action could be taken by a trial board, which might impose suspension for 30 days without pay, or submit major charges to the safety board. Each promotion board would con-
