At every session he might be
seen on the front row with his
state delegation, just looking on.
1t was at the noisy night session
when Hoover was nominated that
the aged treasury chieftain got all
mixed up in the scramble, a timid
little old man, a bit abashed as
people stepped on his toes.
The parade increased in volume.
He stood up and looked about,
curiously. Two young girls iI. the

other delegates. He just partici-

When he returned to his seat,
a young woman came to him with
a request to autograph a life of
Hoover she had.
He wrote his name slowly, and
sat back pleased. No autograph
hunters even get into his treasury

did such a thing before.

BOARD WARNS
AGAINST Peril
OF VACATIONS
Safety Group Cautions
Motorists to Watch
for Children.
SCHOOLS CLOSE TODAY
Influx of 10000 Pupils to
Streets, Play CenterS
Increases Hazard.
SCHOOLS CLOSE TODAY

With 10000 public grade school
children of indianapolis beginning
their summer vacation today, acci-
dent prevention warning were issued
by officials with the hope that no
children would be seriously injured
or killed during vacation. Catholic
parochial schools dismissed 6,479
grade pupils last Friday.
Grade pupils visited their schools
this morning for the last time un-
til school reopenS Sept. 10. No class
sessions were held today, children
merely obtaining their report cards.
Only one out of ten Indianapolis
school children can swim, accord
ing to returns from SiXty-Six public
and parochial schools in a survey
conducted by Harry M. Franklin,
indianapolis Safety Council secre-
tary.
4,819 Able to Swim
Answers were received from about
10000 pupils, only 4,819 of whom
could swim. Franklin reported 12,579
pupils wrote they would take SWIM
ming lessons this summer under
supervision Of municipal Instructors.
Franklin announced Indianapolis
ministers have been asked to warn
parents to prevent children from
swimming in unauthorized waters,
such as White River, Fall Greek,
the canal and Eagle Greek, except
ing Warfeigh Beach, College Ave.
on White River, and Mcclure Beach,
Twenty Sixth ST. and White River.
Sixteen persons, mostly school
children, we're drowned last year.
Only one drowing death has oc-
Cured this summer
Encourage Driving Care
In the series of conferences of
truck drivers being held by the
Safety Council, the point will be
stressed Children don't always
think-driverS must"
Franklin urged parents to keep
children off the streets by sending
them to city parks and recreation
grounds.
Special precaution on the part Of
motorists in preventing accidents to
children during summer vacation
was urged by Todd Stoops, Hoosier
Motor Club secretary. He also urged
parents to warn children to stay
out of the streets.
q Motorists should be very care
full, especially until the first ecstasy
of summer vacation has passed" ,"
he said.
Death List Lower
give o'clock in the evening is
the most dangerous time Of the
day, most accidents to children oc-
curing then. The child accident
record for this year is better than
last, only five children having been
killed since Jan. in motor acci-
dents compared with seven during
the same time last year.
"Not a child has been injured go
ing directly to and from school this
year, accidents always occurring
after school hours. This calls at
tention to dangers Of summer
months when children are out of
school all day."
Police Chief Claude M. Worley
said officers are being cautioned to
be exceptionally vigilant The de-
partment will renew it's enthusiasm
for the year-around safety drive,
he said.
