FUND FOR CITY TESTS REFUSED BY COJCILMEN Police, Fire Vacancies to Be Filled Anyway, Dammeyer Says. Theodore Dammeyer, Safety Board president, today said refusal of City Council last night to vote funds to pay examination commissioners will not break down the merit system nor delay selection of 30 to fill Police and Fire Department vacancies. He predicted funds would be made available at the next meeting. The council also gave horseback riders right of way over motorists at intersections of bridle paths; placed used car lots under industrial zoning classification; delayed action on taxi and anti-picketing ordinances and transferred money to repair police headquarters, pay coal bills and install automatic traffic lights. Councllmen William A. Oren and Edward P. Kealinc led opposition to transfer SIBOO to the Safety Board for examining 150 applicants. In so doing. Councilman Kealing asked if it were not true that the 30 winners were marked as winners before the examinations. Mr. Dammeyer pointed nut that the money could be taken from between S7OOO and SBOOO unexpended in the salary budget of police and Bremen. Objects to Basis of Pay Councilman Oren objected to paying the commissioners $lO a day. Mr. Dammeyer said the average cost of examining and schooling the 150 applicants under the proposed SIBOO appropriation was one-third less than paid for candidates who went through the school held some time ago for prospective firemen. When the question was put to a vote, Councilmen Kealing, Oren and John Schumacher voted against, and Councilman Nanette Dowd, Adolph Fritz and Ross Wallace voted for. The deadlock was broken when Councilman Silas J. Carr, who served as chairman in the absence of Edward B. Raub, president, voted against it. Beginning today, horseback riders who do their trotting, cantering and galloping on city bridle paths are to have protection from motorists at boulevard intersections. An ordinance, passed last night, provides that riders are to be given the right-of-way at all intersections upon raising an arm as a signal that they wish to cross. Motorists who refuse to halt are to be subject to a fine of SSO. Transfer of SSOOO to the Safety Board also was made by the Council. The money is to be spent as follows: $2500 by the Gamewell Division of the Fire Department for the purchase and setting up of stop and go signals; S2OOO for repairs and remodeling at police headquarters, and SSOO for fuel and repairs at the dog pound. An appropriation ordinance calling for the transfer of $2500 to the Park Board for fuel for community houses and green houses in city parks also was passed. An amendment to the existing zoning ordinance also was passed. It provides that in the future used auto sales lots are to be classified as industrial instead of business enterprises. This ordinance was introduced at the last meeting by Councilman Kealing upon request of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Four Held Over Four ordinances were held over until the next meeting. Included were ones providing for the repeal of the present picketing ordinance, an appropriation of S7OO with which to provide symphony concepts at Garfield Park this summer, the new taxicab ordinance, and one providing for a salary increase to police and firemen. Two amendments, however, were voted into the proposed ordinance to regulate the cabs. One was an amendment by Councilman Fritz, which would make it unlawful for a driver to operate a cab more than eight consecutive hours in any 24 hours. The other provided for raising the transfer fee from 25 to 50 cents. Councilman Fritz opposed the section of the proposed ordinance providing for one cab for every 1000 of population. A committee from the council including Councilman Schumacher, who introduced the ordinance, is to meet with the Park Board Thursday to discuss the proposed symphony concerts. The ordinance is expected to be passed at the next meeting.

THOUSANDS OF MIDWEST MOTORISTS Learning the TRUTH About Gasoline Mileage

# Standard Oil's gasoline mileage test is in full swing. Thousands of midwest motorists are driving thousands of miles daily in the greatest road test ever attempted.;; to answer this one important question: How many miles per gallon of gasoline will the average driver get under average driving conditions? We know from careful laboratory tests, that Standard’s gasolines are capable of fully as long, if not longer , mileage per gallon than any other gasolines on the market. But, gasoline mileage depends on many factors—and Standard is unwilling to make mileage claims until those claims can be backed by indisputable facts. So Standard has invited 300,000 car owners in the middle west to cooperate in collecting those mileage facts this summer. Standard provides all recording and tabulating material. Test car drivers have only a few simple rules to follow to become eligible

GREEN TALK REGARDED AS ROOSEVELT BOOST Warns Against ‘Change in Forward Looking Social Move.’ By United Press WASHINGTON, May s.—President William Green of the American Federation of Labor today presented what was regarded as a virtual declaration for re-election of President Roosevelt. Without mentioning Mr. Roosevelt by name, he told the Women’s National Trade Union League that: “We can not afford to make any change in our present great forward looking social movement. We have been inspired and thrilled by the leadership that destiny has given us and we want to continue it without change.” Green appealed, also, for new legislation to achieve NRA objectives and condemned practices of industry in abandoning NRA standards of wages'and hours.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LOCAL SUPPORT IS BEING SOUGHT FOR PROBATION Mrs. Edgar Evans Believes Many Criminals Are Made Needlessly. “Shall we brand a boy with a prison sentence upon his first offense, or shall we take him in hand and through wise probation bring him to a wholesome, useful citizenship?” This is the question before society, Mrs. Edgar H. Evans, who is sponsoring an appeal this week for local support of the work of the National Probation Associaition, said today. “Only a court adequately equipped with probation service has been competent to handle satisfactorily the problem of delinquenty,” Mrs. Evans said. “In Indiana, none of our courts have probation officers with sufficient training. The result is that many boys and girls are needlessly developed into criminals.” Explains Association's Aims The aim of the National Probation Association is the constant development and improvement of juvenile courts and probation, according to Mrs. Evans. The association assists the state and county authorities of Indianapolis and throughout the country in this work, she said. The association is supported en-

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, May s.—Midway Island has been deflnitel established as being a part of the United States property instead of merely a suburb of Honolulu. The question arose when tax authorities of Hawaii asked if they might tax the cable station and the newly installed property of the Pan-American Airways station. A judicial investigation was made with the result that a Supreme Court decision was found holding that Midway Island became American soil in 1867, some 31 years before Hawaii was annexed to the United States, and that therefore it was never a part of Hawaii. Until the problem of taxation arose, the popular belief in Hawaii was that Midway was a part of the city and county of Honolulu. The new finding establishes it as real American territory under the jurisdiction of the navy.
