"AWAIT BOARD'S RULE
IN RESTAURANT FIGHT
The Zoning Board was to rule today on the petition of North Side residents for a rehearing in the granting of a variance for a $175,000 restaurant at 3710 N. Meridian t. 8 Board members approved the variance three months ago by a vote of 6 to 3 over the protests of N. Meridian St. residents. The petition for rehearing was filed last week by the residents who said they had
.new evidence to present against the
proposed development. The restaurant variance was requested by Paul E. Lundmark, a California. restaurateur, who was represented by Jackiel W. Joseph, Park Board president before the Zoning Board. , Board members also will consider petitions for new construction totaling almost $500,000.
CROPS DAMAGED BY SOUTHERN FREEZE
By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 22.—The sudden “blitzfreeze” that swept over
-. practically all of the country east
of the Rockies a few days ago did a lot of harm, reports streaming in to
the U. S. Weather Bureau here inSouthern strawberries and early vegetables, just getting ready for market, were ruined over a large area. Peach blossoms shriveled in orchards all the way from Virginia to Georgia. Only apples escaped, being still in bud for the most part. In the North, little damage resulted because the spring has been so chilly that nothing much was in flower or far advanced in leaf when the freeze struck. Continued wetness, however, seriously retarded farm work and continues to do so. Corn and cotton planting alike are being held batk.

Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 22.— DePauw University officials have decided that no one can replace Dr. Francis C. Tilden.
Dr. Tilden has been a member of the DePauw University faculty for more than 30 years. He is retiring this year because of age, and the Department of Comparative Literature he created in 1910 will cease to exist in June, despitz the fact that its classes are the largest in the university. The retiring professor is a graduate of Harvard University and holds his master’s degree in literature from there, too. But the department of comparative literature at DePauw was nothing like the cne at Harvard. The one at Harvard is high-brow ‘and scholarly; the one at DePauw was popular and liberal. Dr. Tilden sought to teach the art of living by means of great “social” literature like the writings of Ibsen, Zola, Bellamy, Sinclair Lewis and Frank Norris. In his later years of teaching, when he was given the instructing of ordinary literature and journalism classes, he continued to teach them as classes in “life” first and literature or journalism second. Frequently his classes had enrollments of 200 or more, but he never took the class roll, never seemed to care whether the students were present or not. He put trick questions into examinations to find out whether the assigned books had been read, but it was possible to pass the course (with low grades) without ever going to
class or reading any of the books.
His courses were titled “Great Modern Writers,” “Social Ideals,” “Literature in the Period of Industrial Triumph,” and the like and presented viewpoints that most students found revolutionary. 3 Dr. Tilden also is a popular speaker before women’s clubs and literary groups over the state and has been of the favorites to address DePauw alumni meetings. He started teaching at DePauw in 1898. Then in 1905 he coached

Gov. Henry FP. Schricker welcomed the caravan. Incidentally, the whole parade was by way of heralding Loew’s forthcoming movie called “Twenty Mule Team.”
Dr. Tilden to Retire After 30 Years on DePauw Staff
From 1908 to 1911 he published the Greencastle Herald-Democrat and served a term in the State Senate as a Democrat. Then he-went back tosDePauw and became a full professor in 1912. ; The comparative literature department has one other professor besides Dr. Tildén, Miss Ermina M. Mills. She will be transferred to the English literature department when Dr. Tilden retires.

year of their ages, but the local leaders intend to keep the amount given by each child a secret so those who are unable to give more than a penny will not feel they are making ‘too small a contribution. Collection banks will be in all local public schools. this week. Posters by Rockwell Kent dramatizing the need of the refugee children also are to be distributed. DeWitt S. Morgan, Indianapolis schools superintendent, said he hopes the posters also will help “to dramatize a desire in the hearts of American children that war shall be kept away from our shores.” The campaign was indorsed by Mr. Morgan after it had been presented to the nation’s schcol administrators at a convention he attended in St.’ Louis.

A non-sectarian, = non-partisan jury is to decide how the funds are to be divided. Jury members are Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Mrs. Fisher, Caroline S.

Over a period of about 19 years, Howard has been a star boarder in the Hollywood doghouse, having quit at least three pictures before this one. Yet he’s admired for his somewhat painful sense of integrity and respected for the fine films he has completed. ” EJ ® A FLICKER EXECUTIVE returned to his Beverly mansion the other day with his third wife in five years.

At the end of the third 0-0 chucker, Announcer Boris Karloff boomed over the loudspeaker: “The reason for the failure of both teams to score is that the producers can’t and the stars don’t dare!” , Patriotism or privacy?—Binnie Barnes, who had her telephone number enameled ‘on her left thumb nail, has replaced it with a ‘British flag. . . .

But the approaching Presidential campaign will be of more interest to the movie industry than any previous political fracas. The Motion Picture Democratic committee and a Draft-Rousevelt group—the latter headed by Director W. 8S. Van Dyke—already are buying full-page. advertisements in the trade papers. They're beating the drums of continued neutrality and additional preparedness. Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich, you may be glad to know, will co-star in Warners’ version of “No Time for Comedy.” :
