“Legion attorneys then presented to Mr. Deery a petition asking that

Mr. Deery, ofowing a conference with Michael Reddington, City at»torney, said he would not grant a carnival permit since he was “cer- . tain many of the signers did not live «Within the required distance.” _ After some of the Legion attor- * neys indicated that the show might : ‘he held without a permit, the City filed an injunction against the

A group of 20 women gathered in Superior Judge Joseph T. Markey’s “courtroom prepared to battle any further moves by the Legion. For half an hour they waited while attorneys for both sides conferred in

RICHMOND BUDGET DECISION STUDIED

RICHMOND, Ind. July 19 «(U. P.) —City officials today studied an opinion by City Attorney Henry U. : Johnson that their past practice of appropriating funds for municipal purposes from expected earnings of She municipal power plant is illegal. « Mr. Johnson ruled that there is ‘no legal justification for their ap-

, propriation of $316,000 each August

.in the budget for the forthcoming year. He held. that the Council co

be taken only if the money was in . the plant’s jreasury. x

SAM WILSON GIVEN © 2-21-YEAR SENTENCE

: Sam Wilson, twice tried on a murder charge, will be taken to the Indiana Reformatory to serve a two to 21-year term within a few days. Wilson, convicted of manslaughter by a Criminal Court jury Sat*urday after the eight men and four ‘women had deliberated for nearly ‘24 hours, was sentenced by Special Judge James T. Ermston yesterday. * ‘Wilson | charged with the ward Maze during a West Side holdup in 1937. He had { been tried once before. The jury then had been unable to agree after several members held out for -acquittal.’

CORRECTION

Monday’s editions of The Indianapolis Times carried an ac- * count of the arrest on yvagrancy “and drunkenness charges of ~Crawford Pitcher, 41, who told . police his address was 410 N. Colo‘“rado Ave. That address is the “home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. « Smith. Pitcher does not live there.

dreamed of a few years ago. The pamphlet division, now 19 months old, exists because Librarian L. L. Dickerson, in company with a few other scholars and. publishers, has clung steaflily to the belief that “every subect is interesting.”

Pamphlet Use Grows

Pamphlets, which Mr. Dickerson defines as “short treatments, inexpensive or free, in temporary form,” are not new. But their range of subject matter has grown tremendously in recent years. ‘As for their style, it’s enough to send the proverbial professor scurrying under the library table.

“There is a difference between popularizing and humanizing knowledge,” Mr. Dickerson says. “Humanizing is simply stripping your subject of unnecessary verbiage. “Formerly the pamphlet was not respectable academically. Up to ve years ago, there was no noticeable change in authorities’ attitude toward the short, humanized treatment of their subjects. Today new series are appearing all the time, because there are four or five publishers who have promised to puhlish everything they can find of & satisfactory, ‘humanized’ nature. “The most difficult thing,” Mr. Dickerson explains, “is to find men who can write in this manner. Too often authors become self-conscious and begin to ‘write down’ to the public. © And that is fatal.”

Photography Is Example

‘Mr. Dickerson says that “we fought 25 years” to get a simple, understandable treatment of photography. Today pamphlets on the subject are the most numerous and mest frequently used of any in the

.| division.

‘But the diversity of demand is as. great as the supply, which ranges from Edgar -Bergen’'s “How to Be a Ventrilogquist” to “Doorways and Dormers of Old Georgetown.” The division receives requests all the way from new pie recipes to advice on how to become an entomologist’s assistant. And it fills most of them. However, the greatest business comes from “lyowsers,” who drop in to pick up random facts or acquire some background on the day’s news. The pamphley division also is dipping into the field of vocational ‘guidance. One instance was of the man who came in to learn how to
