Inside Indianapolis
WOMEN HAVE been bothered with spots before their eyes for too long. Much too long, and I propose to do something about it. Why the fair sex hasn’t figured the irritating problem out long ago, why they complain and make sudden stops in a line of traffic and wait for astute man to come up with the solution is beyond me. . The reason this bachelor has tackled the problem of spots on the back of madam’s ‘nylons which makes her see red isn’t what you would think. There’s more to this than meets the eye... There's a selfish, genuine interest in doing a" public service and maybe gleaning an apple pie or two. Never can. tell what you can get for doing a public service. .
Swinging Heels, Swinging Shins
SERIOUSLY, however, the reason I'm" going after the spots is that I'm .a rain-walker. Love’ to walk in that rain. Since most of my activities keep me within the mile square, it follows an irrefutable law of time and space that I do most of my splashing downtown, where, according to this “Gallop Poll” (not to be confused. with the’ Gallup Poll), more women. get more spotted hosiery, make more sudden stops to see the spots, and invariably end up by bumping this stroller. Disconcerting. Especially when the Swinging heel makes contact with the swinging shin. : It has been established that walking is the major cause of getting spots on one’s hose. Incorrect walking. Rain, dirt, passing automobiles and gawking clodhoppers are important factors, but there's little a woman can do about those except steer clear and once out in the rain, how you going to do it? Therefore, walking is the cause of spots. The effect is bad tempers, new hosiery, dys: pepsia, increase in child-slapping, increase in hosewashing, arguments with husband and cashier at he super market, inhibited profanity andj spots. The solution is correct ‘walking if you want it the hard way. Hip boots, staying indoors, wearing no hosiery or black cottons, stilts and walking on one’s hands are other solutions, but correct walking is the one I think we should consider. OK, we're ready to go. As we all know, just those women with ossa tarsi have a tendency to splash themselves and their nylons. Ossa tarsi? I'm surprised at you. It's the ankle. I guess there's no use in trying to be too scientific and getting you all confused by bringing in talus, calcaneus, naviculare, cuboideum, cuneiforme, primus, cuneiforme secundum and cuneiforme tertium. Let's say there are seven bones in the ankle and let it go at that. All right. The results of my extensive sidewalk ogling show conclusively that women who walk like ducks splash more than those who walk like pigeons. And those who walk like ducks and wear flat heels splash more than those who walk like ducks and wear high heels. Oh, there's a million variations to observe when you're working with a subject that has to do with women’s legs. An important factor is the size of the heel. You see, the larger the heel, the more water it picks up only to snap it back on the other leg when the calcaneus (went into this thing so thoroughly that it's hard for me to use simple words), or heel, is at the highest joint of the backswing. Once I really got into the work I realized it

Saars From Estonia Making Own Way
tor THE CITY'S latchstring hangs out for Europe’s displaced persons. Witness the Saar family, The Saars came from a displaced persons camp in Germany six weeks ago. They have put out roots and are self-supporting. There are five of them: The father Georg, his wife Magda, his 75-year-old mother Mrs, Julie {Marie Saar, his son Georg Jr, 16, and his daughter, Eva Theresia, 10
