INUREDHOLOUP SUSPECT SEIZED AFTER CAR LEAP
Woman Driver Jumps From Auto; Man Falls Under Wheel of Truck.
A man who is alleged to have forced his way into the car of a woman motorist, grabbed her purse and then jumped out, falling under
the wheel of a passing truck, was |
under, arrest today in City Hospital as police investigated three overnight holdups. Joseph E. Alexander, 29, of 442 W. North St., was reported in a serious ‘condition at the hospital with a compound fracture of the right leg. He was charged with robbery, kidnaping and vagrancy.
Mrs. Katherine E. Holmes, 44, of
3805 W. Washington St. told police she had stopped her car at W.
° Michigan and West Sts., last night |
and was waiting for the traffic signal to change when the man “jumped into her car.
Woman Jumps From Car
“Drive ahead and you won’t be hurt,” he ordered her, Mrs. Holmes told police. Driving to the center of the intersection, Mrs. Holmes said she jumped from her car as the bandit grabbed her purse. As he leaped from the other side of the car, she said, he fell under | the rear wheel of a truck driven by Oscar Hale, 25, of 5371 W. 10th St. With his leg crushed, Alexander dragged himself 150 feet from the scene of the accident, where police found him. The purse was recovered. Two men who entered a drug store at 902 N. Illinois St., last night ordered the owner, Bernard Cohen, 37, of 3225 N. Illinois St, into a back room and looted the cash register of an undetermined amount of money. A man who threw a piece of concrete through a window of a filling station at 2204 Central Ave. last night ordered the attendant, Mackey E. Williams, 34, of 5940 Broadway, to hand over his money. The bandit obtained $9.
Grocer Foils Holdup
When a man ordered four oranges and a pie at a grocery at 1007 Indiana Ave. last night, the proprietor, Albert Salge, 43, of 1815 Koehne St, said the customer flourished a gun and added: “I want that money you have in the cash register.” “You aren't going to do “that to me,” Mr. Salge replied, and dropped to the floor behind the counter. The bandit fled without the money. A violin valued at $400 was taken from the room of Arthur Phinney, _ 87, of 450 E. Walnut St., Apt. 102, it was reported to police last night. Mrs. Jerry Corbin, 33, opened the door of her room at 150 E. Market St. today and found a Negro asleep in the hall, she told police. Mrs. Corbin’ ‘hurried back into her room, locked the door and then tossed a note out the window telling of the prowler. A passerby caught it and called police, but the Negro had disappeared before their arrival. Clothing, a heater and golfing equipment valued at $70 were stolen by burglars who entered the Sam Cohen & Son used parts store at 142 W. Vermont St. police were told.

one year out of five does the mercury fail to drop to 12 degrees below zero. The largest number. of subzero days here was 10 in January, 1912, he said. There were eight in 1936, and seven each in 1879, 1887, 1893 and 1918. The - coldest Februarys before 1936, were 1885 and 1917 with seven each; 1895, 1899 and 1905 with six each; 1875 and 1902 with five each and 1900 and 1904 with four each.
1935-36 Sets Records
The article states that although the winter of 1935-36 was the coldest on record in point of duration of general cold, new low records were established only at Kokomo, LaPorte, Huntington, Huntingburg and Moores Hill “The previous records were equaled, however, at several places including Anderson and Bedford,” Dr. Visher wrote. “The record at Indianapolis, 18 below, did not approach the all-time record, which also is true for Lafayette and cther cities with records established in the 1880's. « : There ire usually, in Cenfral Indiana, dozen col spells each winter, in which minimum temperatures below 20 degrees are reached. Nearly every winter, temperatures lower than 10 below are experienced on the coldest day throughout the northern half of Indiana, and temperatures of 5 below in the southern third. “Once in many years, temperatures much lower than 15 below are recorded in Indiana. Since lowest temperatures are associated with extensive atmospheric disturb-

HENRY L. DOHERTY AWARDED OIL MEDAL
NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (U. P.). = Henry L. Doherty, Cities Service Co. president, regeived today the Anthony PF. Lucas Medal ‘for distinguished achievement in the petroleum industry. The medal, awarded annually by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, was presented to Mr. Doherty for his “recognition of the importance of solubility of natural gas in crude, oil and his early advocation of scientific production of oil fields from the standpoint of energy conservation.”
CITIES’ NEED OF PLANNED PARKS
¢ oe, : County Recreation Grounds
Serve Towns Nearest to Them, He Declares.
Times Special LAFAYETTE, Feb. Richard Lieber of Indianapolis, “father” of Indiana’s parks, today criticized objectors to systematic planning of cities and parks and lauded the creation of state and national planning boards.
Speaking before the State-Wide Planning Conference at Purdue University, Col. Lieber said “the conflict between the present-day planner and executive is much like that between Aristotle and Hippodamus, who planned Rhodes.”
Colonel Lieber said:
“The State as yet has no recreational system and none of the few existing county parks serve the county proper, but rather the nearby center of population which uses them as & needed outing area for its inhabitants.
Alike in One Respect
“Different as are county parks all over the country, they have at least this in common, that they mean to substitute the freedom of the country for the bondage of the city. It is the pressure of population, plus the desire to get away from the dirt and ugliness and artificiality of the city that calls for their establishment. “The variety of and arrangement in county parks accurately reflects the status of the city, large or small, for whose use it was built. Generally situated some distance away, the means of getting there, of course, is by automobile. Entirely sufficient for areas of small or medium size cities, but insufficient for metropolitan areas, such as New York or Chicago for example. “The time has come in the course of human affairs, as we used to say, to consider whither we are going. The old “rule of thumb” method or that by “trial and error,” mostly error, slowly is giving away to the need. for orderly planning. Some still object to planning, others look askance at it, thinking that planning is perhaps a sort of a new uplift movement not meant for this earth. In reality, it is an assertion of practical patriotism right in this “deep vale of crime and sin,” as the Burma Shave people have it, in the direction of conservation of health, happiness and private as well as public bank accounts.
Planners Not Executives
“Planners, to keep their important work free from otherwise unavoidable conflict, never should be ambitious to be executives. Execu-
tives, to render the highest ‘service to the people, should make full use
