are Of great value when so many i'm

Vice President or other high officials.
1t is indeed wonderful how many
events a First Lady of the Land must

her white gloved hands expressing with
the large audience their delight with
Hans Kindler's first concert. She not
only joined in the applause, but stood
up in her box in doing so. She had
artist friends who had work at the
opening showing Of the Sears Roebuck

busy day to visit the galleries.

BY SALLIE ". HI. PICKETT.

Not in many years has the official
mapped out at so early date as for
d931-32, and with Mrs. Hoover's usual
scare there are a number of striking
Schanges that will add to the comfort
sAnd the satisfaction of guests. The
blue room, which for good half CEN
BURY has served as the throne room
as it were-at all State entertainments,
NTill not lose any of its pristine glory

Mrs. Hoover will have with them within

the ranking diplomats and few of

circulate quite generally among the
great body Of guests, as will those diplo-
kmats who care to do so. This is
Mohamet going to the mountain as the

portunity of meeting and being met by

never meet were they confined solely

The blue room, once held open only for
the top cream of official and resident

SCHOOLS ARE
PUT IN SHAPE
Force of 81 Busy at Work
in Summer Months.

End of vacation for practically
all other departments of the city
schools means the beginning of a
rest period for the repair division
of the department of buildings and
grounds, which has for its main
duty, maintenance and the repair
of school property.
With coming of summer, the re-
pair force of the department
doubles. This year, f1fty-two men
were added to the all-year force of
fifty men.
During the vacation, one school
was painted inside and out. Floors
in nine more schools we're treated
with a composition which eliminates
scrubbing, prevents paths from
showing in the wood, and keeps the
floors from becoming dark.
woodwork and furniture in al
buildings we're thoroughly cleaned
All heating, ventilating and power
equipment was checked, and neces-
sary repairs made.
All school janitors, 351 of them,
spent a week of the summer at
Lafayette, taking work in Purdue
university in ventilating, heating
and housekeeping. This was done
at their own expense.

BOARD ACTS TO
TRAP VANDALS
Watcher Makes Business of
Catching CuIpritS.

Indianapolis vandals break into
many school buildings, but that
doesn't make them smart. At least,
it doesn't make them smart enough,
Almost every night two or three
schools are entered and robbed of
more or or less valuable equipment
Usually these marauding visitors
also tear up the teachers records
and mark up the blackboards.
The school board, however, just
is one step ahead of them. 1t has
a chief property protector-one
Jess Saunders-who makes it his
business to round up the culprits
And what is more, he does.
In past years, he has paid his own
salary by apprehending the thieves
and making them pay for their
damage.
Mostly, the stolen articles are
athletic equipment, playground balls
handballs and the like. At this
time of year great many are
fooled. They enter the schools
thinking they can get the money
which students have paid for Their
school books. But they can't. 1t is
deposited every day.
