Court Draws Line At Diaper Judging LEXINGTON, Ky., - Dee. 18 (UP)—Circuit- Judge Chester D. Adams says there are some points that are not covered by the law. He was hearing a custody case in which the father of a 19-month-old baby asked that he be allowed to take the child for two days at a time at intervals. . The judge observed, “A child that young should be with its mother.” “Judge,” replied the father, “just ask Her who changed the first diaper on this baby. Judge Adams bridled. “Hold on. I have been asked to decide almost everything, but I am not going to hear testimony on who changed a baby’s first diaper.” SA,

Cost Public $3 Million Here

City Inspector, Staff Start Crack Down ° To Elimingte ‘Fly-by-Night Operators

By JACK THOMPSON Charges that amateurs in the plumbing trade are costing Indianapolis $3 million annually have been made by the.city. plumbing inspector. George Ayers, chief inspector, said his department has started] to clamp down on unlicensed plumbers in an effort to. wipe out the “fly-by-nights’” who are taking the public for a ride. ’ “Not only do they rob the bt: > a aecont public but they are responsible] . - for the creation of a serious _ QUICK POLICE ACTION health menace,” he declared.

The plumbing department has asked the water company to discontinue the practice of allowing non-plumbers to install lead-in pipes from water ‘mains.
