NEED BRAINS TO RUN 'EM

At a recent meeting of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board a
prominent speaker declared illiteracy
a menace to industry. Illiterates, he
said, ruin fine machinery and they
can't read work cards. How times
change. Once upon time employers
opposed education for workers. Now
uneducated factory workers are a
menace to the plant. Machines need
brains to operate them," said the
speaker, Dr. Winthrop Talbot. Let
education be unconfined.

HOPE TO WIDEN
MICHIGAN ST.
Plan for New East and
West Thoroughfare.

Opening and widening of Michi-
gan ST. as a main east and west
thoroughfare is being considered by
the boardd of works, President Oren
S. Hack said today.
Hack said he wants to develop
an east and west street which will
relieve Washington st. of the ma
.ority of city traffic, leaving it for
the National Rd tourists.
Michigan st. would be widened to
a roadway of fifty or sixty feet if
selected for the main artery, Hack
said.
"I think thoroughfare could be
built about 40 per cent cheaper by
using Michigan" Hack declared. He
said he hoped to have plans started
this year.
Paving of English Ave. from the
city limits to Leota ST., to provide
an outlet for southeastern Indian
apolis also is considered by Hack.
Finishing of English would give
good thoroughfare to Southeast
ern Ave and Washington st. via
Leota st.
Opening of Leota between Wash
ington and Southeastern is contem-
plated in connection with closing of
Oriental to eliminate the traffic
hazard at Southeastern Ave. ele-
Vation.
