MANY DECISIONS BY CITY BOARDS

Ban on Commercial Signs : lllustrates Attitude of : Officials.

By RICHARD LEWIS Behind some of those seemingly mysterious an City officials make on matters of public concern Is ¢,. “policy.” "“The . Works Board, the Safety Board, the Health and Park Boards have their “policies” which govern their decisions. Officials believe that a “policy” will help them keep put of hot water. * The manner in which “policy” operates, as far as the general public is concerned, was demonstrated By the Works Board yesterday.

Members refused to permit the Indiana Saddle Horse Association to

* The permit was requested by Oscar Perine of the Association. Board members declined to interView Mr. Perine on the theory that nothing anyone might say could swerve them from their decision. " Members said the decision was based on a policy of prohibiting use of public property for displays in which “commercial interests” were ihvolved. i . Following similar reasoning, the Safety and Works Boards refused permission to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to erect signs on|i gublic property. The Safety Board zlsc has banned: a sidewalk art exhibit on Monument Circle.

Exactly 103 years later, on April 15, 1940, someone found the plat in a, musty file at City Hall." Struck by the coincidence, City Engineer M. G. Johnson framed the drawing and hung it up in his office. “He has been trying to figure out

Beauty Goes Before Age at Antique Show Where Exhibits Reflect March of History

There’s one thing certain you

can learn from the antique show at the —age doesn’t go before beauty.

A trained connoisseur will say: ‘It's a beautiful piece of work, sn't it?” This is the fifth annual show held

The show brings emphasis to an

exquisite cameo glass here and an American Chippendale desk there, or scores of French jewel-like boxes side-by-side with American primitives.

The antiques reflect a long march

of history. Although great age is not a requisite for value in an antique, those at the show cover a span from as early as 1750 to Victorian times.

Strip of Land Sought

Residents of E. 38th St. from Adams to Emersen Aves. have their! problem with the Works Board. The Board wants the residents to give the City a five-foot strip of land in

which a water main can be placed.

French court is reflected in the tiny patch boxes across the aisle from

the tea cups whose mottos represent the austerity of colonial times. The patch boxes-——quarter-size cases made of enameled copper— were used by the French and English women to hold the beauty patches they put on their faces. They were the compacts of the 18th Century. Depending on their present condition and original beauty, they vary in cost from $15 to $35. The tea cups, used by our colonial forebears, mutely advise: “Make hay while the sun -shines” and “Plough deep while sluggards sleep.” In another collection are the socalled Fairy lamps, bed lamps manu-

rose, pink and deep red of their period. | In other, collections is the cameo glassware, some of it American and other pieces English and French. Unlike some other antiques, these are still being made. One now is in the process at the same factory that made the earlier ones outside of London. Its value, when finished, will be $10,000. Only one workman is skilled enough to do the job. He works only two hours a day, under company orders, because of failing eyesight. Among the larger pieces are early American-furniture; one table of the gate-leg type is between 150 and 175 years old. There is an original Amer=ican Chippendale desk, typical of the early American borrowing of English culture. The desk, whose specific history is not known, was made by an Eastern cabinetworker. If he worked like most’ did, he copied it exactly from a Chippendale desk, which he took apart in order that the copy would be perfect. And in another corner of the room, with some primitives is what

could be called the gadget nook.|:

ATOM-SMASHER AIDS LEUKEMIA

Orange Juice Cockt ail Spiked With ‘Radio Phosphorus’ Helps 16 of 60.

BERKELEY, Cal, Sept. 26 (U. P.). —Leukemia, dread blood disease, is

being successfully treated with an orange juice cocktail spiked with radio-active phosphorus developed in the - University of California’s 220-ton atom smasher, it was announced today. George Pettit, assistant to President Robert Gordon Sproul, said 100 victims of the malady have been given the treatment, and in a controlled group of 60 patients, four were relieved of all symptoms and 12 were considerably improved. Mr.’ Pettit made it plain the treatment was not to be considered a specific cure. He said the mixture of orange juice and phosphorus afforded considerable relief Scores of radio-active chemicals have been created by the cyclotron, developed by Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, Nobel Prize winner, but phosphorus appears to be the most suited for fighting leukemia, Mr.

F.D. R, SUPPORTED BY HOSIERY UNION

The National Executive Board of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers wants all branches of the union to work for the re-election of President Roosevelt.

Cncluding a three-day session at the Hotel Washington yesterday, the board adopted a resolution urging this support. : The resolution said that “the Republican Presidential candidate is wholly lacking in any program for the interest of the working man... whereas Franklin D. Roosevelt has shown his stand on labor and social legislation by acts and deeds.” Alexander McKeown, Philadelphia, president of the C. I. O. affiliate, presided at the meeting.
