The proper solution to child problems would result in a material reduction of adult criminals, according to Lloyd D. Claycombe, attorney. Mr. Claycombe addressed the annual presidents’ dinner of the Marion County Council of Parents and Teachers last night in the Guaranty Cafeteria. “Adult education has received a new emphasis in recent years,” the speaker said, “and the increased intelligent interest of the patrons in these pressing problems will help toward a proper solution of the problems.” He predicted a future demand for funds to enable the authorities to investigate and solve conditions where children are not getting along in school.

White House Root Leaking, Group Is Told
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-—The weather man said rain or snow today, and sakes alive, Congress still was cogitating the spending of $400 to patch the holes in the While House roof! Better hurry up, boys, and pass that appropriation; else rush some | buckets to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, to stand under the leaks. Capt. BE. P. Locke Jr, U. S. Army engineer, who worries about the nousekeeping problems at the Executive Mansion, told a House Apsubcommittee that
at the He said he'd need at least
thing. Other Repairs Needed
| the
He's got to patch the leaks in the} roof, mend the rail on the back | porch, repair the plumbing, paint | the whole place, fix the fence, buy | some new chairs, and hang fresh/ curtains in the President's parlor, ! the captain said. For new curtains, Capt. Locke said he'd need $4000. Another trouble, he said, is the] fact that the White House needs a | couple of coats of fresh white paint | and that's going to cost $7200 more. | As for the back porch—the south | portico—the stair rails are being caten away by rust. Capt. Locke said he thought he could install new ones for about $900.
Water Pipes Corroded
Water pipes in the grounds are wearing through and there's no telling when the water in the bath tubs will begin to dribble instead of gush. Capt. Locke said he thought he'd better install $2000 worth of new pipe. The Captain revealed that President Roosevelt wants the south grounds improved with better drives, wider gates, and different landscaping. He said he could make a start for $11,000. He said he wanted to install individual air conditioning machines in the mansion at a cost of about $10,000. Arno B. Cammerer, National Parks Service director, said the White House itself was valued at $2,250,000 and its grounds at $23.623,170 and that he didn't think $50,000 was out of line for fixing up the establishment this year, particularly since the Congressional appropriation for that purpose last year was exactly $0.00.

Alan Boyd Tells About School Plan
Council of Women to Hear Governor Townsend This Afternoon.
The School City is to seek additional funds next year through direct taxation, to carry on its compromise pay-as-you-go plan for school building construction, Alan
W. Boyd, Board of School Commissioners’ president, said today. Mr. Boyd addressed the Indianapolis Council of Women at its meeting in Ayres’ Auditorium. Governor Townsend was to be the afternoon speaker. The $75,000 appropriation in this year's budget is sufficient to take care of only slightly more than one-third of the building needs, Mr. Boyd said. “If the PWA funds are granted, the total amount available for buildings will be $1,590,000 and we still will be about $500,000 short of the amount needed to provide adequate buildings. If we don't get the PWA funds, we must obtain the money by substantial levies in 1937 and 1938.”
Enrollment Increases
“High school enrollment has increased by 1600 students since the building committee began its study of housing,” Mr. Boyd said, “and by the end of this semester, the increase will amount to about 2100. The School Board's building committee estimated last year that approximately $2,100,000 is needed to provide adequate housing for Indianapolis high school children. “Building costs have increased so that we cannot build to the anticipated extent with the present appropriation,” he said.
Smoke Problem Discussed
“The problem of smoke abatement rests on the individual home owner rather than on the industries,” said William P. Snethen,
| Apartment House Owners and Oper-
ators’ Association executive secretary. “Industries are taking steps to eliminate the nuisance, but the residents of about 90,000 houses have made no amends.” Mr. Snethen urged attendance at Smoke Abatement League School to be held for the general public from 10 to 12 a. m. on Saturday mornings beginning Feb. 27. Mrs. Leo Gardner of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters appealed to Council members for continued support of the merit system. Mrs. Gardner outlined the bill's present status. She explained that the league definitely is to introduce the bill in the Legislature and that both political parties have planks in their platfroms favoring the merit system.
Park School Head Speaks
“Movies and radio play a big part in children’s lives,” Clifton O. Page, Park School headmaster, told the group. “In many cases they do not have a beneficial effect and wise parents will control these influences as much as they can in a child's formative years by guidance and interpretation. Aside from the emotional effect, the chief concern is the time spent in just hearing programs and watching pictures. This is time which more fortunate boys and girls spend in good physical play, in learning how to read and in preparing for their life work.” Youth today is very much aware of economic and social conditions, Miss Myrtle Powell said. Miss Powell attended the World Youth Congress held last September in Geneva, Switzerland. “Youth is thinking more and more about peace,” she said.
WPA Program Described
“Democracy must extend to education to keep up the level of citizenship,” Miss Julia Landers of the WPA Information Service, said. She described the Indiana WPA education program. “In the 1930 census are listed 250,000 semi-illiterates in Indiana and 40,000 who can't write their own names. Enrolled in* the WPA classes are 26,000 of these men and women,” she said. The Council passed a resolution favoring the Seeing Eye Bill and an
_additional $8000 appropriation for
the Industrial Aid to the Blind.

Punch and Judy Show Gives Boys and Girls New Aspiration
By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS
Many little boys who thought they wanted to be firemen or policemen have changed their minds. Today, they have high aspirations of being Punch and Judy puppeteers. Fernand Brossard, French Line puppeteer, is their idol. Like the Pied Piper of Hamlin, he has a following wherever he pipes his puppets’ tunes and performs guignolistic tricks. Children who saw his Punch and Judy show yesterday at the Wm. H. Block Co. wished they could follow him on to Milwaukee, where he is to stage a performance today. “Let's go home and make some wooden puppets,” Donald Fuller who attends School 27, urged his companions. He has cut them out of paper, he said, but has never tackled wooden dolls. Betty Terhune and Charline Sunthimes, members of the School 76 Marionette Club, have high hopes of staging better performances, since seeing this show. Even the grownups were entertained. Miss Mary Louise Connor, a School 76 teacher and director of the school’s marioneite club, and Miss Alice Jane Hessler, puppet club director of the Junior Catholic Daughters’ of America, are enthusiastic in their plans for developing tke technique of their future showings. Mrs. Robert C. Winslow and Miss Helen Fleischer were there to get new ideas for the next Junior

League marionette show to be given on Valentine's Day at the John Herron Art Institute. M. Brossard’'s dolls have entertained more than 70,000 people, young and old, during the last 20 | years. | Everyone knows him as the “Punch and Judy Man,’ of the Normandie, Between sailings he makes whirlwind trips throughout the country with his little theater and trunks of dolls. He sits beneath his stage and operates the puppets directly with fingers and hands. The audience is pulled right into the play with his ingenious questions and group songs. In one scene, the miniature actors bat balls out into the audience. Children scramble to return them to the stage. And they adore being part of the show.

When they return they are to entertain with more musicales, which are not to be devoted entirely to Foster compositions. Before the Lillys return home they expect to attend the annual Natchez Garden Club pilgrimmage. Mr. Lilly is interested particularly in the Negro spirituals sung in the old-fashioned churches. Numerous antebellum homes are open for inspection, and the visitors are welcomed by women in hoop skirts, little girls in bonnets and erinolines and typical Southern colonels.
