Letters to the Editor
FOR A SANITARY MARKET.

To the Editor OF The Times:
read with much interest your editorial on the pro-
posed market
Particular citizens of Indianapolis have long alb
horred the insanitary condition of our present city
market.
The stands should be so constructed that the floor
underneath could be thoroughly cleaned Formerly the
stands open underneath and after market hours
the 1antor could turn the hose the floor and scrub
It fairly we'll But for on stands were
incosed all the way to the floor. with the that
many corners thoroughly cleaned.
1t is most desirable that something done to remedy
the trashy appearance OF the streets and sidewalks
around the market house. During trading hours-and
for long time afterthe adjoining premises are strewn
with refuse, barrels broken cartons etc. Besides being
most unpleasant sight the nails extending from boards
and broken boxes most disastrous to auto tires
It is most unfortunate that our courthouse should
be in such close proximity the market Visitors as
rule, look the courthouse in a strange city and
we must admit that the surroundings of our court
house not very inviting. The writer recalls recent
trip there when It impossible TO enter the grounds
from the northwest entrance without wadng through
mud and garbage from the market stands-and It was
not during market hours either
There is no doubt but that our citizens will appre-
ciate an improvement In market conditions

The Poetry of Childhood

her second volume OF poems-"Shoes' Of the

Hilda is fortunate IN having mother who neither
extravaganty praises her work, yet discounts it.
When Hilda at the OF 4, began talk" her little
poems Mrs. Conkling, who is assistant professor of
English at Smith College. scribbled them down. Later
she would read them to Hilda, who would remember
perfectly whether not they just as she had
said them.
Most grownups like Hilda's poems, because thew
remind them OF their childhood For instance she
