PROMISES POOLS

Less pageant and more play on the
Fairgrounds will be the rule under
Samuel Lewis Shank, the mayor elect
announced today. He also declared
that he favors the development OF
the swimming pool construction pro-
gram laid down by the present board
Of park commissioners and as many
additions thereto as will be possible
without increasing taxes.
Since he was mayor before, the salaries
OF policemen have been doubled, and
now they're going to have to double
their services Mr. Shank said in eIabOr-
ating his plans for the police department
He also announced his hope that two
new wings will be built upon the city
hospital during his administration.
we built two wings in my other ad-
ministratioR and 1 hope we can keep up
the record this time
WILL ASK FOR
ELLIOTT'S SERVICES.
Mr.. Shank was to have a conference
with Mayor Charles W. Jewett during
the day in which he intended TO ask the
present chief executive to lend him he
services of John L. Elliott, present senior
assistant city civil engineer. and Shank
appOintee for city civil engineer, from
now until Jan. so that Mr.. Elliott may
direct the preparation of plans for the
big engineering projects the new admin
istration hopes to get under way imme-
diately upon taking office.
The mayor elect said he has heard the
because the playground instructors select
a dozen or so children At the start Of the
season who have particular aptitude for
dancing and then spend most Of their
time training these youngsters TO appear
I'm the annual pageant Meanwhile the
hundreds of other children who visit the
Fairgrounds are permitted to shift for
themselves more or less, he said he has
been informed.
REACH THEM ALL
OR NONE, HE SAYS.
There's going to be no more education
on the Fairgrounds for one child than
there is for another If we can't teach
them all we won't teach any Of them, "
said Mr. Shank. There's going to be
more genuine. old-fashioned play and
athletics for the kiddies than of this sing
ing and dancing. It's play that the kids
go to the Fairgrounds for. We're going
10 spend more Of our money on slides
and sand piles and swimming pools than
on pageants.
Another thing were going to cut out
is this thing Of paying five or ter thou
sand dollars a year to get high class
singers here for concerts that nobody
understands anyway.
They bring these high class singers
here at the expense of the taxpayers and
then issue Invitations for them. I've
lived here all my life and I pay taxes
and 1 never got an invitation to one OF
those concerts. I don't think the city
government has got any right to spend
the peoples money that way. anyhow.

NAVY TO ASK BIG
APPROPRIATIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Despite
the forthcoming disarmament con-
ference, the navy will ask for appro-
priations for the year 1929 in ex-
cess of the approximate aprpopria-
ton Of 100000, 600 for the current
year. 1t was learned today. The
naval estimates for 1928 will be
submitted to Budget Director Dawes
today.
There is no decrease in the appro-
priations asked for ships or guns,
it was learned, and an increased
appropriation vii be asked for air
plane carriers. Naval officials take
the position that the naval es-
tablishment must be kept in efficient
fighting trim and that reduction of
expenditures cannot be permitted to
interfere with the efficiency OF the
sea defenses Of the nation.

State Relief Director Brings
Appeal From Leaders.

One hundred and ten thousand chill
dren in American orphannges in Armenia
and the Bible lands looking anxiously
to America for food: thousands OF others
parentless and friendless wandering in
the mountains and deserts; thousands "
refugees, men, women and children, with
out shoes, without clothes-freezing and
starving.
This is the picture Of distress in the
Near Enst drawn by DR.. Clarence d.
Royse. State director Of Near East Re
lief, just returned from a conference
with national officers.
Tell the people of Indiana not to for
get the Armenian orphans whose parents
died because Of their religion and their
loyalty to the allies in the World War, -
is the message DR.. Royse brought from
c. V. Ylckrey, general director Of Near
East relief.
Mrs Karop Ashjian, wife of a local
Armenian merchant, who has returned
from New York, where she met Armenian
friends just out Of the Land Of SOr-
rows" has a vital message Of desperate
conditions in the native country and will
aid the local organization in spreading
the appeal Mrs AsEjian has been asked
to address the Parent-Teacher Associa
ton OF the William Mckinley school to-
morrow afternoon.

In telling the story Of despair is Miss
