 SUNDAY SCHOOL

Woodlawn Congregation Is Renewing Hope For,
 Remaining $40, 1000

,W5ll the lack of a few thousand dol lars Breyent the Wood1awn Methodist chdrch from attaining an objective it's members have had their hearts set on for months? x
 Or will the famous Birmingham spir- 1t once more arouse itself and put across a .project4 that means much to the religious life q the church and the Woodlawn comnuHity?
 Holding fast 10 Ais faith in the Bir- mingham spirit and the loyalty of Wood lawn Methodists, K. B. Bsoyles, chair man of the $1OO,OOO Sunday school building campaign, believes firmly that complete success of the undertaking is near at hand.
 The iWoodlawn Methodist church, for yearstaif outstanding factorsin the city's religious life, grew and grew, until the modest Sunday school quarters over flowed. -i- ssstsSs@ 9%a Continued Growth

 What will the answer be? -~a.;s
 Chairman Broyles and his enthusias- tic assistants believe they know.
 Since the drive ended, scattering < checks have been coming in by mail, and the deficit is not as large as it was Tuesday night, Mir. Broyles said.
 That enough additional contributions is the confident prediction of the cam 'paigners.
 Go any Sunday morning. to the Wood lawn church and you will find capacity crowds attending Sunday school. Atten- dance records would be still higher, and still greater work would be accom- plished, if there were more room, 1t is stated. r
 sa The Sunday school is said to have grown as large as it can hope to grow until the new building goes up.
 Contributions sent in by mail to :, Chairman Broyles or any member of the campaign committee will find their way into the fund and help realize for the church and Sunday school a.dream of long standing.
 Will. the money be raised? Chairman Broyles believes it will. Dr. Robert Echols. the pastor, believes it. The young folks who go tosthe Sunday school seyery Sunday and who want larger quarters so they can take their friends, also believe it. The answer must be giv- en within the next few days.

ASK TIME EXTENSION Shippers Want Some Claim Privilege Carriers

Immediately passage of proposed laws which will give freight shippers three years within which to institute suit on their oyercharge claims, instead of two years, as at present, is being urged upon Alabama congressman and sen ators by the Birmingham Traffic as sociation, Secretary c. F.. Jones an nounced Thursday.
 The carriers have three years with in which to bring suit for the col lection of undercharge, it is pointed out, and the shippers should be ac- corded the same privilege as to over charges. Under existing law, a claim may be outlawed if legal action has not been brought upon it, or the claim filed with thesinterstate commerce com mission, within two years after the cause of claim accured. It often hap pens that the two year-period expires while the claim is pending with a rail road, because fo rate disputes.

Supply System,

An eight-inch water main was rec
commended in Twenty Seventh st.
from Yandes st. to Columbia Ave.
by Fire Chief John ]. O'Brien today
in the campaign 10 eliminate dead
end mains.
O'Brien has started a survey of
the city water supply system fol
lowing the 100000 blaze at the
Dynes-Pohlman lumber yard early
Friday when water pressure was
said to be weakened by deadend
mains. An eight-inch main was or
dered in Twenty Eighth st. between
Bellefontaine st. and Macpherson
Ave. by the chief to link up the
system in that end of the city.
O'Brien visited several Of the city's
larger lumber yards Tuesday urging
owners to provide additional fire pro
lection by installation of stand pipes
in their yards. but he said owners
objected to the expense. Many of
them already have automatic sprin.
kler systems. he said.
Chief O'Brien, with officials of the
water company and members Of the
board of works, conferred this at
ternoon on opening streets to aid in
fire protection.
Opening of Twenty-Eighth st.
across the Monon tracks, was pro.
posed as one step. O'Brien learned
today that water main extensions
must be paid for Ivy the city.

NEW MUSIC BOOK
Boards Action viii Result
in $4,000 Expense,
Emhardt Says.

In spite of the prospect Of an in
creased tax levy amounting to S1.1S
on each 500 of taxable property for
Indianapolis taxpayers next year
and the recent change by the State
board Of education of numerous text
books in the public schools, parents
must buy different song books for
grade pupils this school year.
Over the bitter opposition Of
Adolph G. Emhardt, the school
board Tuesday night ordered the
change in books.
TT was one Of our campaign
planks that if we were elected to
the board We would stand for as few
expensive changes in textbooks as
possible" said Emhardt. While
song books are an important item in
educational work 1 don't think they
should be changed at this time"
TT would mean an outlay to the
taxpayers of about s5O,000," said
Emhardt at the meeting Tuesday
''I am opposed to putting heavier
burdens on the people now. I vote
no"
The new books, the Hollis-Dann
: books. are recommended by Superin-
3tendent E. U. Graft They viii cost
from sixty-five to ninety-five cents
each.
The board approved plans for gen.
eral repairs to about twenty-five
grade school buildings and author
lied the business director to adver-
tise for bids. Cost of the repairs,
such as to ventilatins and heating
apparatus will approximate 100000,
members of the board said.
A preliminary budget for 1924-25
was submitted to the board by the
business director. 4 total of S.
9,9S3.42 was asked by department
heads as compared with s5.179 .S02.34
for this fiscal year.

AS we drove away from our last
call, Sawyer asked me If had in

I was very grateful, and con-
fided in his promises. But when
Carlisle announced the~committees
I was astonished to find that
Stephenson-later a Senator from
Wisconsin-was appointed to the
committee on public lands and
that 1 had been assigned to place
on the committee of Indian affairs.
Sawyer came to me promptly
and told me that he could not
secure my appointment to public
lands, but he was sure l would
enjoy my work on Indian affairs.

him to the publicity by few hours

They made it a hard fight. They
hired most of the teams in Madison

There was no influence they did

But I carried the caucuses against
them and elected my delegates.
The very night that I got the
final returns from Dane County

Unlimited Grants

He believed quite simply that
railroad corporations and lumber
companies, as benefactors of the
country. should be given unlimited
grants of public lands, allowed to
charge all the traffic could bear,
and that anything that interfered
with the profits of business was
akin to treason.
I remember he talked to me in
a kindly, fatherly manner-very
er-of-fact-looking at me from
time to time with a shrewd squint
in his eye. He had no humor, but
much of what has been called
horse sense" His talk was jerky
and illiterate; he never made a
speech in his life.
We called on President Cleve-
land and on all the Cabinet Off

was exactly the same at each place

He was not quite sure, always,
