transportation utilities battled
drifting slow today while Indianapo-
lis prepared for a weekend of true
winter sport.
The city need have no fear of be-
ing snowbound, Weatherman j. II.
ArInington said.
The snowfall will stop some time
during the day and Sunday will be
fair, with rising temperature, Ar
mington predicted.
The temperature will rise Sunday,
after reaching low point of about
Is degrees tonight, but the rise will
not be pronounced enough to melt
the snowflakes, Armington said
Today's a. m. temperature was
18, nine degrees below normal.
With a crew of $50 men at work
TO keep the drifts off the tracks, In
oianapolis Street Railway officials
reported cars and busses were run
ming with little deviation from
schedule.
Nine work cars were out early,
sailing rails, so that the morning
rush cars would move on schedule.
The rush hour cars we're slowed
somewhat. Following the rush
hour, nine sweeperS attacked the
snow.
The entire construction force of
125 men was taken from regular
work to sweep away the accumula-
tions at curves and intersections.
Interurban Cars on Fire
Traction officials reported no
trouble in maintaining the interur-
ban service as yet, but feared if
the storm continued schedules
might be disrupted.
Interurbans arrived and departed
on schedule at the Traction Ter
minal. An Interstate Public Serv-
ice Company train, due to leave at 7
a. m. for Louisville, was held here
until a. m. by motor trouble on
the car.
A Monon train from Chicago, due
at $50 a. m, was three hours late
because Of drifts and slippery rails
in the northern part Of the State,
but other railroads reported trains
on schedule.
All aviation activities we're halted,
however, not a plane leaving the
Indianapolis airport.
Air Mail Halted
The Cincinnati-C Chicago air mail
plane was halted here Friday aft
ernoon on telegraphic orders not to
proceed to Chicago. Mail was for
warded to Chicago by train.
Airport officials said attempts to
fly today would be almost suicidal.
"a plane could take the air, all
right, but the pilot would be sure to
crash in alighting, as he couldn't
see because of snow" they said.
Sixty men will be ordered on duty
tonight to clear city streets if snow
fall continues heavy during the day,
Street Commissioner Charles A.
GrosSart said.
Heavy traffic makes cleaning in
daytime almost impossible, he said.
Whether the city forces will be used
to open streets depends on the
amount of snow on the ground by
night time.
An extra force Of twenty men may
be employed.

Don Don t
Constant Use of Word Is
Detriment to Child,
Parents Told.

By United Press
THICAGO, Feb. 18-The word
~ don't" is one of the most
harmful in the language to say
to a child.
The less he hears don't" the
better will his character develop.
A parent who continually thun-
derS the word at his young son
may expect, to find him, at the
long trouser stage, a weak. spine
less youth facing life with little
more than a big collection of
inhibitions. according to DR.. Will
liam Fitzpatrick Of the teachers
College, Columbia University.
Speaking today before the Mid
West Conference on Character
Development" DR.. Kilpathrick
urged parents to let their children
begin facing the battles of life at
an earlier age.
1T won't Go the growing boy
any good to tell him not to fight
with other boys in the street." he
explained. Let him scrap; let
him get licked-and he will ex-
ercise more caution in choosing
his next adversary.
Each time you say don't you
are pushing him step nearer to
namby-p -pambyiSm."
DR. GEORGE A. DOREY,
- noted psychologist and au-
thor, told two parents and child
training experts that many chill
dren grow up with characters dis
torted because they are not al
lowed to take responsibility at an
early age.
"The small boy or girl who does
not learn to take responsibility
for misdeeds becomes spoiled and
begins to tell lies and evade being
punished" he said.
Today session ended the three
day conference, which drew more
than 1000 parents and educators
from all over the United States.
