2000 TO GET JOBS ON CITY PAVING PROJECT Fall Creek-Blvd Extension Work Proceeds at Fast Pace. Jobs for approximately 2000 relief workers will be provided within the next few weeks by the new two and one-half mile extension of Fall Creek-blvd. Work on the project, which will run from Keystom-av to Kesslerblvd just south of Millersville, was begun just three weeks ago and 400 men already are at work grading and filling for the new scenic parkway, It was announced today by J. H. Crawley, Marion County FERA director. A definite idea of the appearance of the future boulevard may be gained by a visit to the present center of operations along the creek bank near the old greyhound race track. Trees Are Removed Here, for a distance of more than a half-mile, squads of men are toiling in the spring sunshine, some excavating the dirt which 40 trucks are carrying off to other parts of the project to make the necessary fills for sections of the road running across lower ground. Other squads are busy removing trees which must temporarily be sacrificed that the roadway and the accompanying flood prevention work may be more easily accomplished. The right-of-way for the parkway was acquired free of charge by the Park Board and when completed will be under the board’s administration. J. Edward Perry, park engineer, worked on preliminary plans for the boulevard and is cooperating with Mr. Crawley, and officials of the state conservation department in working out details of the project, which is the most extensive yet begun in Marion County. Road to Be 40 Feet Wide The roadway, which also will serve as a levee, will be 40 feet wide, grassy shoulders running along either side. The ground south of the road is being graded so that it will slope gently down to the creek, providing a 250-foot auxiliary channel for flood waters. This grading operation has necessitated the removal of many fine old trees although they are left standing whenever possible. Wood from these trees has Teen cut and will be saved to make fires to warm the men at work du :ing the winter months. Wood not needed for this purpose will be brought into Indianapolis and given to persons on relief rolls for fuel. The conservation department and parte board officials are working on plans for landscaping the entire area and new trees w'ill be set out to replace those which have been destroyed. Although park officials thought at first that the road and the flood prevention work would take two or three years for completion. Mr. Crawley is confident that automobiles will be running smoothly over the 2.63 miles of the parkway this time next year. Director Proud of Work Mr. Crawley is justly proud of the achievements of his men in the startling progress made in the few weeks they have been at work. They have been able to proceed so rapidly, he explains, because all plans for the new boulevard had been worked out in minute detail months before work was begun. Marshall Oberholtzer, engineer in charge of the project, was prepared to lay out the stakes which outline the course of the road and show the amount of filling and cutting to be done. With these stakes as guideposts the laborers were able immediately to grasp an idea of the entire project and to understand exactly the task they had before them. Perhaps because of this understanding they display a lively interest in their work and are visibly proud of their part in the construction of this new pleasure ground for Indianapolis citizens. They really are working and present a picture vastly different from that given by the lackadaisical men who idled along the roadsides in the early days of the CWA. Labor-Saving Machinery Used Mr. Crawley is carrying out anew experiment in this project by using more labor-saving machinery than ever before has bcc-n employed in relief work projects in this section. Besides the many trucks, his men are operating a park department steam shovel to do much of the necessary excavation. He believes that a judicious use of these labor-saving devices makes possible more and quicker hand labor for other workers and also makes it passible to finish the job in a much shorter time. “We can finish this job sooner and thus will be able to start work more quickly on other necessary public improvements,” Mr. Crawley said. “In such works as this we are not only creating jobs for thousands of men who would not otherwise be employed, but we are making Indianapolis and Marion County a better place to live in." Louisville Rabbi Speaks Here Rabbi Solomon N. Bazell, Louisville. spoke last night in Beth-El Zedeck Temple at the local celebration of the 800th anniversary of the birth of Moses Maimonides.

Husky and Happy Lads Are Texas Quadruplets; They Thrive on Play and Saving Mother’s Steps

By SEA Service BEAUMONT. Tex., April 29 You've met the Dionne quintuplets. Now meet the Perricone quadruplets, probably the only boy quadruplets on the American continent. People in Beaumont can see with their own eyes, every day, how the famous Dionne babies may develop. The Perricone quadruplets will be 6 on Oct. 31. They are planning to start to school. They're all healthy, they all work with enthusiasm in the family garden, they all help their parents with errands, and their mother says they “save her many a step.” But the curious part of it is the Perricone boys differ so much in everything but age that you might not even suspect them to be brothers, let alone quadruplets. Though the “quads” were bom within an hour of one another, they are completely dissimilar in appearance and disposition, and in likes and dislikes. a a a BERNARD is fully three inches shorter than his biggest “quad” brother, Donald. Vincent and Donald are dark, Bernard a little lighter, while Anthony is a blond with light hair, fair skin, and a small, tumed-up, freckled nose. One boy is particularly fond of cornbread. Another won't touch it. One is left-handed, one is ambidextrous, the others normally right-handed. Only in regard to their illnesses are they completely alike. If, some morning, Donald should wake up with a fever, Mrs. Perricone knows that within a few hours the other three “quads” will begin running temperatures. If one has a cold, all will have colds. But their general health is excellent, and all went through the last winter without an illness of any kind. Their most serious illness was two years ago, when all had the measles in rapid succession. a a a FOR this splendid health record, Mrs. Perricone gives full credit to Dr. Joseph Bybee, who she declares is “just as good as Dr. Dafoe.” Dr. Bybee watched over the “quads” for many weeks after their birth in much the same manner as Dr. Dafoe cared for his famous “quins.” Dr. Bybee devised special feeding formulas for them, and directed their daily schedules for several months. But after that Mrs. Perricone took charge and has cared for them ever since. The boys are unusually well able to take care of themselves today. When they go to bed they throw all their shoes in a pile, and though each wears a different size shoe, they readily find their own, as well as their own overalls, to dress themselves and get ready for the next day. They seem to get a kick out of working in the family truck garden, often putting away their own toys to take up rake and hoe and hike for the garden. a u a HUNDREDS of persons have gone to the Perricone home to see the “quads,” especially during their first year or two. Among the visitors was Baseball Czar Judge Landis, v.ho gave the boys autographed baseballs, which they treasure. Anthony, who has marked athletic. tendencies, avers he’s going to be a baseball player. Donald is apt for his age at wood-working. Vincent leads the group, and plans their games and pastimes. Bernard is deliberate and concentrated, with an unusually good memory- The boys get along well, seldom quarrel. Interest in the Perricone boys has heightened since the advent of the Dionne quinutplets. Letters from all over the world have come to the Perricones, including some from parents of triplets, and at least one from the parents of quadruplets. But. so far as is known, the Perricone “quads” are the only ones, all boys, in the United States. There is no more avid daily reader of news of the quintuplets than Mrs. Philip Perricone. She knows.

Brothers, would you say? More than that! They’ re probably the only quadruplet boys in America today. But note their differences in height and appea ranee. Bernard, left, Vincent, Anthony and Donald Perricone were born within an hour of each other. Will the Dionne babies differ as much in six years as do these Texas boys?

3 CONVICTS ESCAPE FROM JOLIET PRISON Fourth, Legs Broken in Fall, Left Behind. By United Press JOLIET, 111., April 29.—Tiiree convicts escaped from the old state penitentiary here early today, leaving behind their 260-pound companion who broke both legs in dropping from a 25-foot wall. The quartet, serving robbery and forgery terms, pried apart the bars of their cell on the top gallery of the prison diagnostic hospital, clambered up a fire escape near a guard tower and dropped over the wall. Nearly a half hour after the break was discovered searching guards heard moans and feeble cries. In a clump of bushes outside the wall they found Martin (Big Six) Schroeder, both legs broken at the ankles. Schroeder was serving a one-to-10-year larceny sentence. The three who escaped were: Edward Martin, 30, one to 20 years for robbery; George Patterson, 45, one to 14 years for forgery, and William Kirkpatrick, 33, one to 20 years for robbery.

‘HE'S GOD!’ IS FANATICAL CRY OF THOUSANDS Father Divine, Diminutive Negro Operator of 27 ‘Heavens/ (Continued From Page One) someone shouted. Th*' was taken up and relayed into the building. About 2000 men. women and children, of which approximately 500 were white, awaited his coming. Bald, stocky, four feet, six inches, with a short, scrubby, gray-sprinkled black mustache, wearing a gray, pin-striped sack suit, Father Divine looked the average prosperous Harlem businessman. Yet he is one of the most mysterious figures in New York. He feeds and cares for thousands of persons but nobody—including state officers—has learned the source of his income. 500 Get Free Food When the correspondent was introduced, Father Divine, stiffly formal, expressed regret that he had “stopped giving interviews.” “But my works speak for themselves; so join us at our banquet.” The banquet table was in a basement hall. Walls were covered with placards: “The relaxation of your conscious mentality is but the reconception of Gods intelligence.” “God is living in Father Divine.” The board was set with baskets of fruit and candy. More than 500 men. women and children sat at the table. At least that many more stood around the walls or sat in the rectangular center space formed by the table. When the little, black “Messiah” entered, hysteria came with him. “Oh Father, our Savior, I love you,” a brunette white girl chanted fervently. Father Divine sat in a satinbacked chair at the head of the table. Every course passed through his hands. He filled the coffee cups from large aluminum urns which a white-clad, thin-faced white girl handed him. The girl murmured a hymn to Father Divine as she worked. 45 Courses on Menue This was part of the menu. Rice, baked hominy, mashed potatoes, cabbage, collard greens, spinach, creamed cauliflower, squash,,string beans, sweet potatoes, asparagus tips, ham and eggs, tongue, pork trotters (pig legs), pork snoots, pork listeners (pig ears), pork wigglers (pig tails), hot sausages, beefstew, fricasee chicken, turkey, roast beef, broken white and raisin bread and pumpkin pie. There were 45 courses. “Brother Lamb” explained: “There is nothing unusual about this. The Father provides banquets equally as good and sometimes better, twice a day.” And it is free to all who follow him. Nobody pays a cent. Testify in Songs, Poetry While Father Divine ate his ham and eggs, from all parts of the hall “converts” rose to “testify.” One sang her testimony to the air of a Massenet operatic aria. Another recited her faith in a poem. Directly in front of Father Divine knelt three young Negresses a tall blond white woman. They stared silently worshipfully at him for fully two hours. During the testimonials, some of the followers shouted words of adoration and faith at the little man. His bland face failed to reveal any reaction. Others WTithed and twisted in ecstasy. When the last of the testimonials had been delivered, Father Divine rose and gave his message in a loud, high-pitched voice. His words were carried through a microphone into a loudspeaker system in the auditorium on the floor above, where nearly 1000 Negro and White listeners worked themselves into a state of quasi-delirium. Next—Father Divine’s explanation for the mysterious source of his income.

ZION PROTOCOLS NEAR Swiss Jews Open Testimony to Prove Political Document False. By United Press BERNE, Switzerland, April 29.—A suit to prove false a political document which has caused suffering and oppression to millions of Jewish persons entered its final stage today. Before a Swiss court, experts gave their reports as to the authenticity of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” one of the most notorious political documents of modern iistory.

U. S. WAR DOGS HEADING NORTH FOR MANEUVERS Giant Pacific Armada, 150 Strong, on Way to War Games. By United Press SAN PEDRO. Cal., April 29 America's greatest force of fighting craft ever concentrated in peacetime—lso ward dogs or the sea—hoisted anchor at dawn today and plowed into the Pacific to demonstrate its efficiency to the world. The giant armada steamed out of the harbor under secret orders to work out what is known in the navy's files as “fleet problem No. 16.” It will cover 5.000.000 square miles—a rough quarter of the Pacific Ocean—between now and June 10. when it will return to California waters. The “battleground,” in area, la larger than the entire United States. It reaches from California to midPacific and from Hawaii to the subArctic Aleutians. Tucked away in the bellies of tha fleet's giant aircraft carriers are 460 sea hawks which will demonstrate their effectiveness against an imaginary enemy during the maneuvers. The aircraft attack and defense will be the most spectacular maneuvers of the “war games.” The cumbersome aircraft carriers, Lexington, Langley, Saratoga and Ranger, will launch 150 more planes from their flat-topped decks than ever have been carried to sea before. Leading the armada is Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, tight-lipped, bearded pioneer of naval warfare. Although no information has leaked through the Navy’s personnel, it is expected the maneuver* will close with a great sham battle, probably in the area between the Aleutian Islands, to test the final problem of defense.
