Drivers Get State Booklet , Covering New Traffic 13 Code Rules. #

More than 1300 pairs of auto license plates were sold yesterday, opening day of the annual distribution, records in the Motor Vehicle License Bureau showed today. Issued with every pair of license plates is a 24-page illustrated pamphlet outlining all the traffic laws now in effect. “The new traffic code passed by the last Legislature contains 76 pages of new laws and half the motorists have little idea about all the rules in the new traffic code,” Frank Finney, Licensé Bureau administrator, said. “Many motorists get arrested for violation of some law they ‘knew nothing about and by reading every page of this pamphlet motorists will be familiar with every traffic regulation in the state,” he said, The pamphlet contains iNustrations of the right and wrong ways to drive a car, including pictures to show dangers of various road conditions. “If every driver would follow closely all instructions in the pamphlet given him, accidents in Indiana would be greatly reduced,” Mr. Finney said. The first day's sale of plates and drivers’ licenses yesterday was de-| new Activities Room at its celescribed as about normal, bration today of the 40th anni-

seum today. . St, thrill at the Indian exhibit.

The Children's Museum at 1150 N. Meridian St. was to unveil a revamped Indian exhibit and a

versary of the first children’s museum at Brooklyn, N. Y. The museum will be open from 1 p. m. to 9 o'clock today. Regujar hours are from 1 p m. to 5 p. m. on weekdays, from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. on school holidays, and from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. Sundays. A New York professor visiting in Scotland got the first idea of a children’s museum when he saw a group of children collecting, labeling and cataloging their “finds.” He brought the idea back to the United States and helped found the Brookiyn museum. The local one was started in 1925. Its first rooms were in the Propylaeum barn. It was at the Garfield Park

In the 1860 room is one of the two Franklin fireplaces Mr. Carr knows about. It was in the old Brown homestead formerly at the site of the Postoffice. One of the pulpit chairs at the first Henry Ward Beecher Church on the Circle is also in the 1860 room. Just about the most popular of the individual exhibits will be the one on the third floor, Mr. Carr says. That's the diorama of the Swanee River with a recording of Stephen Foster's song coming

Residents Prepare Remonstrance.

A group of Congress Ave. residents today prepared a remonstrance against paving of their street at a cost of $3.31 a lineal foot. Claiming to have the backing of at least 14 property owners on the street, T. A. Reynolds, 414 Congress, said they would present the remonstrance to the Works Board within the next 10 days. The Works Board ordered the paving yesterday after hearing another group of residents, led by G. W. Cockrill, 40 Congress Ave, declare the street was so muddy that residents frequently walked in mud up to their shoetops. The remonstrating group declared that the street has a hard macadam surface of oil and stone and that paving would force several of the home-owners to give up their property. The paving was ordered between Boulevard Place and Indianapolis Ave. The cost was estimated at $10,842.
