HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
IN FOOTBALL PLAY
Appreciative Audience Sees
Production of "HaIfback
Carey" by Students.

Football was not only the principal
aries Of the musical comedy produced
last night By the students of the Busi-
ness High School. Like all musical
comedies. 1t required some little search
to find just What was the most i'm
portant thing about the piece-plot or
specialties-and for fear of doing an
injustice, the principal place in the
review is given to football, because its
title was "Halfback Carey" and there
fore nobody's feelings will be hurt
The entire production was most
satisfactory, for not only were the
efforts OF the performers pleasing to
themselves. as is usually the case, but
they were highly appreciated by the
large audience of students and parents
of students gathered to witness their
work.
The comedy told highly amusing
story, and was used as the means of
satirizing many school customs and
characters. The pupils wrote some of
the songs and some of the dialogue.
They had assistance in the prepara-
tion of both from members of the
faculty. The name part was played
by Harry Turnburke, president of the
Class of IA. who also assisted in the
writing and producing.
Turnburke is a favorite at the school,
and his efforts as an actor were
watcI,ed with the closest attention.
Miss Thelma Payne, Miss Anna
Davis. Sydney Strubhle, Phidias Nico-
ladies, Roland Legg, 10y Brodie.
Romine Taylor. Miss Viola Harper
Miss Ruth Cherry, u. I'll. Postels and
Raynor Vaughn also attracted the at
tention of the audience because of
their unusual excellence in the parts
assigned to them.
The entire company acquitted itself
far beyond the expectations of theSr
most enthusiastic supporters The
music was supplied by the Business
High School Orchestra. under the di-
rection of Joseph Finckcl and Miss |

PETTY CRAFT IS
BEING UNCOVERED
CHARGE MADE IN DIES MONIES
THAT OFFICIALS ARE MAKING
USE OF AUTOS.

Des Moines, June 5.-W. H. Davis
city purchasing agent, is holding uE
the payment OF number of automo
bile bills totaling $10554, and contract
ed by employees OF the street depart
ment under Councilman Myerly with
out purchase orders as required. II
Davis stands by the policy announced
some weeks ago, the bills will not be
paid. and it will be up to city employees
and the firms in question to effect a
settlement.
Two of the bills are attracting, the
most attention. They show that p. F.
Smith, Councilman Myerly's sidewalk
inspector, has been buying gasoline
and oil on the city's account and hav.
ing it delivered to his home, though he
has city machine. One bill from the
Herring Motor Supply company shows
he bought sixty gallons of gasoline and
had it delivered for $7.46. The bill is
to 433 Lyon street, but this is regarded
as mistake. and Is believed to be
meant for 1888 Lyon street, as this is
Smiths address and his name is at
tached to the bill. The other bill Of
$3.50 for ten gallons of Termoline and
can does not bear Smiths name,
but says the goods were delivered to
1888 Lyon street.
Yesterday afternoon Davis said he
had asked Smith about this bill Of
$3.50 and that the sidewalk inspector
had told him that he was only follow
ing his usual custom.
No names are attached to the other
automobile bills being held up by DAY.
Is. One from the Iowa Automobile &
Supply company shows that some en-
ploye of the street department pur-
chased eight gallons of gasoline on
Monday, which was primary day. An
other is for $36,46 for supplies from
the Herring people last month.
The other bills are from various
garages and cover gasoline in eight
gallon lots, repairs, and even the pur-
chase of tire for 1929. Davis says
he can buy the same tire for SGT.
