INDIANAPOLIS. December Is
Political disturbances within the
executive council of the international
Tyrographical Union were referred
TO repeatedly in United States District
Court Yesterday when Charles 2. How
ard, president, admitted. without re-
luctance, his antagonism to the mailer
members of the union.
The court hearing was on suit OF
the 1000 mailer members. represented
by six plaintiffs, for an injunction
against the council to prevent It from
taking action in the unions affairs
which the mailers assert would be
against their interests.
Testimony centered on differences
in policy favored by the progressive
faction, headed by Howard, ID the
administration" faction. to which the
other four members or the council be-
long.
The mailers seek to enjoin the TAX
ing of a ballot among the 10000 mem
bers Of the union on the proposition OF
reducing their representation In the
national union and limiting certain
internal voting privileges. They safd
their present pension rights are IL
danger of unfavorable discrimination.
Howard testified that he had taken
active part in the movement to re
strict the prerogativeS Of mailer mem
bers, acting at the instance Of the
Detroit Typographical Union.
He admitted that he had refused
TO permit consideration Of the pro-
posed referendum by the executive
council, which, he granted, was con-
trary to union law. In addition, he
said that he refused an appeal from
his own decision. The other members
of the council are defendants in the
suit in their capacity as officers Of the
union, although they are friendly to
the plaintiffs.

DETROIT, December 16.-Parents
of several hundred school children in
Dearborn. home town of Henry Ford,
| are in controversy with the village
school board over the benefits of the
old-fashfond dances sponsored by Mr..
Ford.
The board has before it petition
signed by more than 200 parents de-
manding that the school discontinue
the teaching of dancing "in the in
terests of a higher standard of moral
ity." In answer to the protest the
board announces a public exhibition
OF the old-fashioned dances, to be held
tonight under the direction Of in
structors employed by MIR Ford.
Characterizing the protest as ridicu-
lous, DIR. Edward F. Fisher. president
Of the school board, said the signers
Of the petition would be specifically
invited to attend.
II am sure the people who signed
it will laugh at their fears when they
see the dances performed" he said.
He added that If a majority OF the
petitioners still disapproved after wit
Messing the dances the classes would
be discontinued.
The petition originated with the
membership Of the First Evangencai
Church and the First Methodist
Church of Dearborn, among whom it
was circulated.
DR.. Frederick G. Krumling, former
pastor Of the Evangelical Church, who
has an S-year-old daughter attending
the public schools, called the petition
to the attention of the school board
and insisted some action on 1t be
taken. Asserting he believed dancing
has no place In a school curriculum,
he added:
at am convinced my daughter would
be harmed rather than benefited by
attending the classes. II the petition
Is ignored, I shall try to have the

Pa. Roads Being oiled

New Hope-The River Road both
north and south of this borough, and
York Road were being resurfaced
with road tar and gravel late last
week and early this week As
result the roads are pretty messy
and evoke voluble expressions of
ire from motorists who dread the
ravages of tar upon the paint of
their cars. But in few day the tar
will have become caked and dried,
and the improvement will make up
for the temporary annoyance. The
wok is being done by the Pennsyl-
vania State Highway Department
Motorist who have Travelled in New
England, especially Massachusetts,
have found road tarring methods
there far superior to those of this
section, and wonder why the same
precautions can't be employed here.
When roads are resurfaced with tar
in Massachusetts, they spread liberal
applications of sand over the sur
face, which not only provides filler
between the gravel, but provides an
absorbent for the tar which pre-.
vents it from cumming up passing
vehicles until the surface sets.

WWosV Grove Park
Under Neso
Management


Willow Grove Park has been leased
by Meyer Davis, the well known or
chestra leader of Philadelphia. The
announcement has caused a lot of
speculation among the many friends
of this popular resort as to what
improvements Mr.. Davis will make
under the new management
Mr.. Davis says that the park will
be conducted on as high plane
as any park in the country, and that
amusements and concessions will be
of the highest order to appeal to
the most discriminating tastes. He is
to give particular attention to the
musical programs, and the best tai
ent in the country will be secured
for orchestra and band concerts.
Dance music is to be furnished by
one of Mr.. Davis picked orchestras,
as an especial appeal is to be made
to the public in providing this
amusement to please even the most
fastidious. The safety of park pa
irons will be carefully guarded, and

every visitor, from the smallest
children TO the aged and infirm will
be protected againt any care and
annoyance.
An especial feature of Mr.. Davis
management will be to cooperate
with all civic organizations, lodges
and churches in nearby communities
to provide entertainment and grounds
for groups on picnics and other out
ings. Welfare and sport organiza-
tons are to be given special con-
sideration, and all organizations are
invited to ask for whatever reser-
vations they need.
The park provides an attractive
center for sporting events, and base
ball leagues will find excellent ac-
comodations for their games. Field
meets are also to be provided for,
and in every way the park can be
Accommodated to meet the needs of
athletic events.
Commodious auto busses will be
provided for the transportation of
various organizations and groups on
their outings to the park. Reserva-
tins can be made for these with the
management. The park guards will
be efficient and tactful, but courteous
and unobstrusive in their duties, so
that all visitors will not only be
protected, but will find cooperation
in any problems that may arise.
Willow Grove Park is owned by
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, and the park is leased to
Mr.. Davis as a high tribute to his
ability and character. Only those of
highest recommendation are con-
sidered in leasing the park, and
out of the many interests which
sought the franchise Mr.. Davis and
his associates were found after care
full scrutiny and investigation to be
best qualified to conduct the park.
So that this season is expected to
be the best in the history of the re-
sort.

business is now conducted on a safe
and legitimate basis. Speculation in
lots have come to an end, and now
a great BODYBUILDING program is
under way.
"The greatest of Florida re-
sources" said Mr.. Pardee, "are its
agricultural lands. The man who
has genuine love for the soil and
its cultivation, and sufficient indus
try to give it his undivided time,
the land will yield larger income
per acre than anywhere else in the
United States. And the Florida
farmer has ideal condition in which
to work; the terrors of winter, with
attendant pneumonia and grippe to
dog his steps are unknown in the
health-giving sunshine of this penin-
sular state.
at is a commonplace thing to
hear of men making $4,000 a season
on five acres of ground. 1t is safe
to say that an industrious farmer
can make an average of $1,000 an
acre per year as truck grower.
The most profitable crops are toma'
toes, beans, cabbages, peppers, eel
cry, lettuce, melons and strawber-
ries. There are quick and profitable
markets for all these.
"Altho it is only lately that Flor
ida has become largely appreciated
some of the biggest men in the coun
try have been enjoying its benefits
for twenty-five years. Such men as
Henry Ford, H. NJ Flagler, H. B.

have beautiful estates there. They
have converted the coast lines into
wonder resorts which have lured the
wealthy from all parts of the world
"But the time has now come,

rank and file of the people can alsc
benefit by this development. The
people are there, and they must be
supplied with the necessities of life

bus company by the public service
commission did not give the com.
pany any rights to operate over the

cided at an early date because Of the
damage the ordinance is doing the
bus company.
