COAL CONTRACT
May Be BROKEN
State Board Hears Protest
of Central Hospital.
NO. 8 Head--see Puzzle

Abrogation of the coal contract
between the E. H. Rolf Coal Com
pany Of Fl. Wayne and the Central
State Hospital and seven other
State institutions, is expected to be
voted today by the State Joint Pur-
chasing Committee before it closes
its two-day meeting.
This action will be taken as a re-
suit of the complaint voiced by trus-
tees of the institution that the Rolf
Company shipped coal 80 rotten
that it burned holes in our boiler
CRATES and caused damage of $50 a
day to our equipment.
To emphasize the written COM
plant, DR.. Max Bal1r, hospital SUI
perintendent, ard Paul G. Davis,
secretary of the board Of trustees,
appeared before the Purchasing
Committee Friday and asked that
some. steps be taken to give the in
stitution a voice in the purchase of
its coal.
The commission tentatively prom
iSed to take steps to permit this and
is expected to consider the new Rolf
contract.
The contract calls for the de-
livery of 100000 tons of Crown Hill
No. coal, or coal of equal quality
to seven State institutions. The
previous contract specified the in
situations among which was the
Central State Hospital, but the new
one will not.

MAGRUDER TO
TESTIFY AGAIN
Admiral Expected to Tell
More About Navy.
No. 3 Head-See Puzzle

BIZ Times SDeciGl
WASHINGTON, Dec. lin an
effort to unwind some of the navy
departments red tape, which
seems to require dozen men to
tell one man what to do, Rear
Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, de-
posed as commandant Of the Phil
adelphia navy yard, because he
condemned present administrative
methods, will go back before the
House naval affairs committee
Monday to offer some constructive
criticism.
For two days Admiral Magruder
has told Of alleged inefficiency in
the navy department, pictured the
overlapping activities of countless
bureaus, boards, divisions, etc., and
branded the whole system as "over-
organized"
He has done so in ampliflcation
of his recent article in the Satur-
day Evening Post, which aroused
Secretary Wilbur's ire, and caused
Magruder to be relieved from duty
at Philadelphia.

powder her nose. She did not even
change her dress from the plain,
black satin she had worn to school.
Her thinking processes seemed
paralyzed. She had no idea what
she was going to say. No converse
ton ready to spring as she would
have had in less inexperienced days.
She only knew that the necessity
for seeing him had passed the point
of endurance. Probably they would
quarrel, and, in a little while, he
would go away. But in the mean
time he was coming. -.
When lac stepped into the dirnly
lighted room, and the door closed,
she faced him, timidly.

But suddenly he cried, Lets go
to the Inn tonight
isn't it too late? You said we'd
have to start early"
I'VE should, but do we care? Let's
make a night of it?"
Gayly she assented. Changing her
dress while he telephoned. Ten min
utes later they were in his car,
Diana could scarcely believe she was
the same girl.
She felt so gloriously light and
happy now. AS if a puff of wind
would blow her away. She cuddled
beside him, listening delightedly
while he talked.
I'm making up for lost timee," he
explained. you've been such devil

Several hours later, as if in a
dream, they reached an unpreten-
tious frame house. The shades were!
drawn. Seton rang to be admitted.
Inside was no suggestion of rev.
elry. Monsieur was the soul Of re-
spectacle hospitality. A fire glowed
in the fireplace of the small dining
room, but it was too late for other
diners. He pushed a table close to
the cracking logs and brought a
tray with two small glasses.
Diana lifted the one Seton filled
for her and drank to Mona Wanna"
1t burned her throat, but the de-
hcious warmth which stole through
her veins was worth the first shock.
She drank another while waiting
for the supper to be served by ma
dame, the wife of monsieur. ....
The sight of her waddling beh@ b
a load of dishes seemed so delight
full that Diana burst into a peal of
laughter. Madame's feminine curves
and bristling i1luStachio.
But when Seton asked the reason
for her merriment she could not ex-
plain what a moment before had
seemed overwhelmingly funny. q.

STATE PLANES
TO help LAW
CHASE BANDITS.
Army and Privately Owned
Craft Also Enlisted in
New System.

Here's more bad news for the bad
bold bandits and bank rommers who
have been known to make things
disagreeable for Indiana police and
sheriffs by sticking up banks and
occasionally a whole town.
From now on not only will they
face the danger of fgurative police
cannon to the left of them, can
non to the right of them" Even the
air may hold revenging arm of the
law to swoop and spank them.
The State Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Investigation so
has arranged it that police may call
the winged hosts of the Army, In
diana National Guard and privately
owned airplanes to their aid in
chasing desperate criminals.
And the bureau has arranged a
nice little set Of signals so the land
and air forces of law and justice
may work in harmony.
1t is explained in letters sent to
all police and sheriffs by Secretary
OF State Frederick E. Schortemeier.
The eltterS explain the code of
signals drawn up after conference
with Army officers at Fl. Benjamin
Harrison.
Police are advised at once to COM
municate with the nearest flying
field and notify the officials that
"you expect their services in crimes
where you require an airplane."
When the crime takes place and
the police authorities want to turn
out the airships on the trail, they
are to call the air field and give
their name and telephone numbers
and nature of the crime, and then
hang up and wait until the officials
call back and verify the first call.

ORLEANS Girl
WINS SANTA S
letter Prize
First Award of $25 Goes to
Child Of 7; Two Others
Are Rewarded.
BY THE SANTA CLAUS EDITOR

O1 HE SANlA CGAOO EOlIOh
Here at last, children, is the radio
gram from Northpoleville, Eskimo
land, that we all have been waiting
for-the message from Santa Claus
announcing the winners of the
"Why l Likes Santa Claus" contest:
Three Prizes $25, $40 and $5-will
be given to these three children
readers of The Times for having
written the best letters telling why
they liked Santa and how they
thought he made the world better.
Santa admitted that it was one
of the hardest tasks he ever has
been called upon to do-to judge
the hundreds of letters The Times
forwarded to him by airplane.
II am sorry I couldn't give every
boy and girl prize" Santa said
over the radio, in announcing the
winners. But I'll never. never for
get any of them who wrote me-"
Orleans Girl Wins
Seven-year- Miss Joyce Taylor
of Orleans, Ind, won first prize with
this simple yet charming bit OF
childish writing:
I like Santa cause he brings me
nice things and I never hear or
see him. He leaves all little chill
dren something to make them
happy.
Santa brings us gifts like the
men who took care of sheep took
things to Jesus when he was a
little baby.
To do something nice to some
one makes the world better.
"Joyce's last sentence is beautiful"
Santa said in announcing the win
ners. II wish every one would re-
member it. It is short and full of
meaning-'to do something nice to
some one makes the world better"
Junior Harris, 8, of 1851 S. Ala
bama ST., was awarded second prize
for this letter:
more than like Santa Claus.
love him. And who wouldn't love
the jolly old man who makes
every girl and boy happy?
Santa sort of makes me think of
the little Lord Jesus. because
Santa is something like Jesus
they both do only good. Santa
helps everyone-poor, sick, rich,
crippled, old and young alike.
He makes us feel as if we were
friends to everyone, makes us for
get our troubles, and wants to do
something good for all. Above all,
the old fellow always comes down
my chimney and brings me nice
toys.
Oh, hope the days hurry and
pass until it is time for St. Nick
to visit me again!
Wins Third Prize
Violet Gill, 7, of 1899 Nordyke
Ave-, won third prize with this
letter:
I am a little crippled girl, seven
years old. I am in hopes that you
will not forget me Christmas.
I love you, Santa, because you
love all boys and girls and have
never forgotten me yet. also
hope you will not forget my little
brothers and sisters.
Santa, the world is made better
each year because you bring JOY
and happiness to all little boys
and girls and grown-ups, too.
Wishing you happy Christmas
forever.
Santa said he wanted to thank all
the little boys and girls who wrote
him SO many nice letters.
II never will forget one of them"
Santa said.
So maybe he will remember these
children to whom he couldn't give
prizes, either this Christmas or in
the Christmases that are to come.

Two reports. that of tho board of fire commissioners and that of Fire Chief William J. Noble. were made public at the meeting of the fire board last night. Each report calls attention to the work accomplished during the past year and the need ior greater improvements within the coming year. -~
 Probably the greatest needs are those which were outlined in the Herald last evening: the recommen- lation of new fire station in the %estern section of the city: of a new siXty-tive foot service ladder; and ot additional funds to properly man the department.
 A brief resume of the chiefs rec concentrations follow: A car for as- sistant chiefs and master mechanic in carrying out their duties; a 65 foot service ladder to improve serv- ice in northern section of city and to relieve the No. 2 department a large pump at No. to replace 25o gallon pump now in use: appoint ment of 10 firemcn for No. 3, 4, 5, 6 and [; new fire station in the western section of the city; and a recommendation that in :ne near fu- lure the matter of collection of waste paper and rubbish be taken up.
