APPLE STORAGE HINTS

Low temperature and prompt cool
ing of apples are of prime import
ance in preventing development of
the scald disease in storage or in the
market, says the Bureau of Plant
Industry. Wrapping apples in oiled
paper will prevent scald, and storing
the fruit in hampers, ventilated bar
rels, or baskets lessons the chances
of scald injury. Susceptibility to
scald varies with the variety, and
season and orchard conditions. Ear
ly picked and poorly colOred fruit
is extremely susceptible to scald,
while well-colored, well-matured ap-
pies are more resistant.

LIQUOR FAD NUISANCE, SOCIETY EAGER
TO QUIT IT, DRY LEADERS ARE TOLD

of the liquor drinking fad at private
gatherings and entertainments
found that most of these society
women regarded it as an unutter-
able nuisance and their only anxiety
was, as to how to free themselves
and their families of it.
''They were eager TO support Presi-
dent Hoover Loyalty in his appeal for
general law observance. A favorite
theme in their responses was that
of the expense of the custom and
the disgrace of maintaining rela-
lions with bootleggers in order to
keep up the reputed style OF the
day.
my replies have come from
scores of matrons who entertain
extensively, as well as from govern
ment officials. One natron whose
social affairs have always been
marked with the flowing cup, gave
her first dry party after she re-
ceived my letter. She wrote me that
it WIS a huge success.
"Dry entertainments are becom-
iny more and more fashionable. If

mothers feel that they can not
loiter today in facing their respon-
sibility. They must go forward With

100000 Gift
MADE De PAUW|
James B. Nelson Donor of
Philosophy Chair.

Gift of 5000 900 to De PAW uni
versity to endow a chair Of philos-
ophy was made today by James B.
Nelson, indianapolis, president OF
the Fame chain of power laundrieS,
who ten days ago made like gift to
Indiana university for the same pur-
pose.
The bequest to De Paw was
made by Nelson in honor Of his
wife. Grace Johnson Nelson, former
De PAW student. The chair will
be- known as "Grace johnson Nell
son endowment for the teaching OF
philosophy"
Conditions under which the money
was given were similar to those i'm
posed upon Indiana university. None
of the principal or income may be
used fro grounds or physical equip
ment. The annual income from the
principal, amounting to about
$4,000, is to employ an instructor OF
reputation and learning to teach
philosophy in the university.
The history of the Nelson family
shows q close association with De
Paw. Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson and
their daughter, Jean Nelson Rudd,
were students at the university. A
sister, Mrs. Jean Pendeld, was the
first woman to represent De Paw
in and to win the interstate ora
torical contest.

today reversed contempt Of court
sentences imposed by Common Pleas
Judge Frederick P. Walther upon
Louis B. Settler and Carlton K.

writer of the Cleveland Press.
Judges Walther sentenced Settler
and Matson to jail for thirty days

summer after the defendants had
written and published an editorial
in The Press criticizing the judges
action towards horse racing.
The ruling was regarded as estab-

had abused his discretion in sitting
in trial in the case In which he
himself was involved.

PARKING fees
QUIZ LAUNCHED
BYCITY CHIEFS
Traffic Department Ordered
to Make Check of
Downtown Zones.
HOLDER LIST DEMANDED
Lax Methods of Collecting
Dues Investigated by
Officials.
HOLDER LIST DEMANDED
BY CHARLES E. CARLL

After years OF careleSSneSS, CITY
officials today beStirred themselves
to investigate methods Of designat-
ing and collecting fees for unload
ing zones" along downtown street
curbS.
First action was taken by Police
Chef Jerry Kinney, who ordered
the traffic department, headed by
Captain Lewis Johnson, to make a
check of the number of downtown
zones in front of clubs, buildings
and other premises which come I'M
der the city traffic zone ordinance.
Coincident with this came the de-
mand Of Walter O. Lewis, safety
board secretary, asking Kinney to
supply a list Of all mo parking"
standard holders. There were forty
three in September, 1928, according
to Claude Worley, eX-police chief,
and it is said the number has in
creased to 100.
City Controller Sterling r. Holt
after a conference with the safety
board, declared he wanted to collect
the fees but didn't know who owes
the city, without obtaining COM
plete check of the situation"
Meurer Is Reslated
Heretofore, city officials have paid
but little attention to the ordinance
demanding a fee for loading zone
frontage granted business houses
and individuals for their convenience
and have made but half-hearted eff
forts to collect the fees required by
the law.
The matter was cast at the Of
fcials' feet Wednesday when The
Times told of the arrest Of Albert
F. Meuer, former city councilman,
after he refused to pay a 81 fine
for parking in the hftyzfol1r-foot
loading area in front Of the Hume
NIansur building on East Ohio street.
Meuer was reslated today on a
charge of parking in a prohibited
area after city prosecutors dis
missed the original improper park
ing charge. He will be tried April
by Municipal Judge Dan v.
White, when he will attack the con-
stitutionality of the ordinance.
City records show that in 1922 the
Hume ManslT Company paid $40
for Silent policemen" to mark of
the zone. But there is no record
that any fee was paid for the space,
as provided in the 1929 ordinance,
calling for an annual rental of $50
for the first eighteen feet and $40
for each addition foot.
Ofncials admitted the safety
board extended the width Of the
space fifteen feet last year, which
makes the area run many yards
east and west of the building en-
trance. But officials did not ask
for the space fee, it is said.
Only Six Collected
Kinney said the traffic depart
ment's check will include those
spaces in front of churches, schools,
hotels, theaterS, hospitals, railway
stations, bus or interurban stations,
public meeting halls and places.
which are fee exempt under the law.
At city hall the theory was adj
vanced that Hume-Mansur build
ing is a public meeting hall Or
place." but Howard Meyer, attor-
ney for Meurer, will contend this is
not true.

Leslie CALLS
ON Indiana TO
INDICATE HIM
Defends His Expenditures
for RefurniShing of
State Mansion.

Governor Harry C. Leslie today

Of the Hoosier people" to vindicate
his expenditure of some $4,000 for
equipment for the Governors man.
sion, in addition to his drawing his
regular allowance Of S833.33 for
maintenance.
The $4,000 was drawn from the
emergency contingent fund. with
approval of the state budget COM
mittee.
II do not want to appear in the
role of an apologist," Leslie told the
press at a conference he summoned
in his office today. But I do want
to appeal to the sense of fair play
| in this matter
when I took office it was agreed
by members of both parties on the
budget committee that the house
needed equipment which at least
would match that OF gubernatorial
mansions in states of equal size and
wealth.
Cites Need of Furnishings
when we moved in there were
but six ordinary water glasses and
six tumblers in the place. We
bought a sufficient number Of COB
lets to take care of the ordinary
social affairs of state These have
been termed golden goblets,' but
they are just ordinary glasses with
fine hair line Of gold around the
top, such as can be found in per-
haps thousands Of north side homes.
1T should be remembered that
we are going to leave all these
things for state use. The Leslie
family, in private life, never has
cared for show.
In renovating the place we took
eleven truck loads of trash away.
Mrs. Leslie worked like q Trojan to
get the place in its present shape.
1T Is not true that we bought
elaborate things for the boys rooms.
We know our boys are just boys and
we bought things accordingly.
Il invite any one to inspect our
home and then charge that it Is over
luxurious"
Hits Jackson Thrift"
In answering the matter of his
employment of a second secretary,
Gaylord Morton, in charge Of par
dons and paroles, Leslie said Nor
ton is doing for $3.50 month the
work formerly done by full-time
pardon board secretary, at SIS, 900
year, and two stenographers. These
positions were abolished by the leg
islature.
AS to the thrift Of former Gov
ernor Ed Jackson in spending sI,T93
for painting the mansion out Of a
81 900 appropriation from his emer-
gency fund, Leslie brought out
contract given him by Jackson,
showing 5000 still due on the job.
