At City Hall—

DRASTIC SMOKE ORDINANCE ‘OUT’

Unnecessary, Safety Board Decides; Mayor Delays His Verdict.

By RICHARD LEWIS Although there is much discussion at City Hall about smoke, there is no evidence yet that any new measures will be taken to abate it. The Safety Board yesterday figuratively washed its hands of any new approach to Indianapolis’ perennial smoke problem by conclud-

ing drastic measures are unneces-

sary.

J. Keach reported on conferences he had last week with city officials of St. Louis where a new regulatory smoke ordinance has been credited with clearing the atmosphere. Mr. Keach said he doubted whether a ban on burning high volatile (smoky) coal, the basis of the St. Louis ordinance, would be necessary here. Indianapolis already shows improvement as the results of its own efforts, he said.

No Smoke in 21 Buildings

These efforts were summarized by Building Commissioner George Popp, who reported that the production of smoke from 49 buildings downtown and on the near north side had been cut down last year. Building owners were called in by the Board last year and asked to improve methods of firing or to install automatic heating equipment. In 21 of the buildings, smoke . was eliminated altogether and partially cut down in 28 other structures. Mr. Keach indicated a continuation of this method plus an appeal for public co-operation are all that the City needs to bring itself out of the smog. Meanwhile, Mayor Sullivan, who has expressed his admiration for the improvement in St. Louis, was nevertheless reluctant to attempt the same measures here. The Mayor is postponing his decision, however, until he can devote full study to the smoke problem after the Legislature. ” o 2

Parking Tickets "Repeat" Along the traffic safety front, the Mayor's Traffic Advisory Committee is preparing a report which will show, among other things, some of the overtime parking problems confronting the Police Department. While the great majority of parking violators pay the $2 penalty on the line, 93 last year took their cases to court. Some had 25 parking citations against them and the average number of violations for each was 6 apiece. Municipal Court records show that none of these parking stickers has ever been paid. Instead, the courts let go the violators on withheld judgments, suspensions or discharges. A large number of viola-

SOUVENIR

Owner Wonders About World War Bomb;

Triplets and Twins Among Flock of Sheep

-By FRANK WIDNER

TWENTY YEARS AGO, G. W. Baker, of 511 W. Wheeler St. Kokomo, received a huge aerial bomb as a souvenir from the World

War.

At the time he believed it tH.be harmless.

But recently, he began to worry, and the more he worried the more he wondered what to do with the bomb. Then he ‘decided to

pitch it in Wildcat Creek.

To his astonishment, the bomb

hit the water with a splash, then floated downstream, finally coming to rest on the bank. It was then that Mr. Baker decided this was a matter for the police. At present it is lying on the floor in detective headquarters. They plan to turn it over to someone who knows a little about bombs. It is supposed to be harmless, but . . . #2 8 = Mary and her little lamb have nothing on R. G. Ellis, who lives near Kokomo. He's got 24. In the past two weeks at the Ellis farm, 24 of the animals have been born, including a set of triplets, 10 twins and one spring lamb, ” » ” CALUMET CITY tavern owners have had enough trouble with law-enforcement agencies regarding slot machines. But to add to it, five mysterious strangers are causing them as much, if not more, worry. The group, all well-dressed and free spending, dropped into a dozen or so taverns in the city recently, Three of them played the slot machines while the other two engaged the bartenders in conversation. After they left each owner discovered that the cash box in the slot machines had been opened

Emil Held, coach of the Bedforcl High School grapplers, was hurriedly called from the meet when he became the father of a six-pound daughter. And a few minutes later, Johnny Tatum, a referee, received notice that the stork had visited his home.

PUPILS DIRECT AD CAMPAIGNS

5 Tech Classes Busy Now With 3 Drives; Test Theories in Sales.

By EARL HOFF

The brains behind the advertising campaigns that promote basketball tournaments, yearbooks, senior

plays and club projects at Techf{

High School belong to a group of teen-age youngsters with a flair for slogans and a Knack with paint brushes. They are members of five advertising classes taught by Homer Smith and Werner Monninger. When a crisis arises and there is urgent need for a whirlwind campaign to put some project across, the pupils toss routine advertising lessons aside and tackle the project on an “all-out” basis. All the members of a class submit every idea that comes to their heads. These are gathered in an illustrated prospectus and submitted to the director of the activity.

Checked by Officials

Next a vice principal checks the ideas to cross out any that would damage school property. Finally, Principal H. H. Anderson okays the campaign with an eye to school policy. Then the advertising class begins preparing animated posters, displays or slogans. If there are to be a large number of posters, Harold Stewart's sign painting class gets the job. But the project isn’t ended here for the advertising pupils. They get out and help sell tickets. This way they learn whether their ideas had any market value, according to Mr. Smith. The first semester the pupils work on the psychology of advertising, Mr. Smith said. In the second semester they learn about the mechanical aspects. The ad classes have three campaigns underway on the campus now. These are to boost sales of the school paper, the Arsenal Cannon, a series of debate contests and the sectional basketball tourney. With posters they're drumming up sales for a “megamop,” an idea of Miss Gertrude Thuemler, dean of girls. The “megamop” is a combination of a megaphone, fashioned from a waxed cardboard milk container, and green and white crepe paper streamers that an excited Techite can wave at the sectional tourney.

Idea Men Primarily

Sometimes, Mr. Smith said, the posters the ad classes produce aren’t exactly works of art because the pupils are primarily “idea men.” And sometimes the ideas they think up are a little far-fetched, like that of a dummy hanging from a campus tree to attract attention to a poster. That one was vetoed in a hurry. But the important thing is that the pupils are learning about the right and wrong types of advertising. Mr. Smith said many want to enter the advertising business after they graduate.
