Guarded in
Hotel Pool

One pleasant way of forgetting
the warm weather is to take a re-
freshing swim in the pure filtered
water of the Hotel Antlers Egyptian
tile-lined pool.
The Antlers pool is said to be the
only indoor pool in the city operated
with bathing beach rules. Safety is
stressed and mothers may send their
children there without worrying, for
they always will be under the eye of
trained life guards.
There is a continuous flow of
water through filters that extract
the impurities, and the water is
tested regularly by the health board
to assure its safety.
Every man, woman and child
should learn to swim, taking lessons
only in a safe place, according to
R. I. Griffith, hotel manager.
For those that wish to learn to
swim, the Antlers pool maintains
both man and a woman instructor
giving both individual and class in
struction. Club membership is not
required for swimming.
The pool is open from 10 a. m. to
10 p. m. Swimmers may use their
own swimming suits or rent suits
Of the latest design. The pool is
spoon shaped, ranging from three
and one-half to eight and one-half
feet in depth. 1t has a standard
Olympic diving board.
A fall swimming class is about to
be organized with some of the best
swimmers in the state competing
with swimmers from other cities and
also in local contests for prizes.

muddled brain that was the cause
OF their downfall, and so grant
them Communication.
Keeps Them 'Contented'
1t is this eternal hope, hope that
is allowed to linger with them until
the night they are to go, that keeps
them, TO outward appearances, the
most contented of Sing Sings
citizens.
Content doesn't show itself on the
outside of the deathhouse, but it
has its brighter scenes.
Here, in the main prison, fully
half of the inhabitants are accept
ing the opportunity to repair the
lamentable lack of education with
which they entered prison.
800 at Prison School
More than 300 of them attended
the prison school, getting the rudi-
rnentary elements of an education
reading, writing, arithmetic-dur-
ing 224 school days last year. And
f1tty-two determined men, fired with
ambition, applied for and obtained
permission to take advanced CORE
spondence school courses.
The average prisoner cares little
about fiction, and least of all about
Observation-Disclosures novels, mystery
stories, or detective tales. Instead,
he asks for books on engineering,
shop practice, technical work, and
information that will held him learn
a trade.

provides the first opportunity they
ever have had to do. anything but
provide themselves a hazardous, in
secure living through crime. Given
regularity Of work, their food and
clothing, and few hours a day in
which time hangs heavy, and their
natural recourse is to books.
Prison Chiefs Worried
Prison officials will tell you, how
ever, that Sing Sing is overcrowded
sadly, that there is a lack of laun-
dry facilities and sanitation equip
ment, and that with the state pro-
viding food for 2,20O-and a popula-
ito of nearly 2,600-Sing Sing Off
Gals are worried.
IF crime continues to increase
and judges continue to sentence in
proportion to the crime" they say
I'VE will be faced with a crises"
A Crisis may be a riot, though
the word seldom is mentioned in
Dfficia1 circles.

PAPER DRINKING
CUPS HELP TO
PREVENT COLDS
Ends Danger of Spreading
Disease Germs in Public
Places.

1t is impossible to determine how
much is lost in industry and mer-
chandising each year through the
physical ills Of people.
1t has been estimated that the
lurking germ that causes the COM
mon cold actually costs the people
of the United States each year about
$2,0O0,OOO,0OO.
That is a larger sum than most
people carry around with them for
small change in these days, and it
is a direct tax on industry. Some
Of it can be saved easily.
The common drinking cup causes
a large percentage of this loss, for
it has been tried and duly convicted
Of carrying germs of large number
Of respiratory diseases in addition
to the cold.
Other peoples germs are far from
a satisfactory addition to the menu,
and ones system has to fight enough
Of these pests without going to the
water cooler and challenging a lot
more to get busy.
There might have been some slight
excuse for common drinking cups
before the sanitary paper cup made
its appearance. Now there is none.
for the Ostermeyer Paper Company
of this city maintains not only
complete F'rigidaire-Crystal Spring
water service, but sells the R11rt
drinking cup as well to those who
want to stay well.
No Office, factory, or public place
should be without these, if only for
the protection Of the health of the
employees.
Even if not desiring to use their
rental service to get healthful drink
ing water, one may telephone the
Ostermeyer Paper Company, 148
Virginia avenue, Riley 6902, and end
the menace to health by beginning

ARTIFICIAL LAKE
PLAN RECEIVING
WIDE APPROVAL
Conversion of Industrial
Site Into Park Is
Progressing.

Much comment has been aroused
by the projected transformation of
the old gravel and sand pits at
Raymond and Harding streets into
park.
The idea not only saves a con-
siderable amount of land that APP
pears of no value in its present
shape, but it also promises great
development for that section of the
city.
A lake Of the magnitude intended
there, of cool spring water sur
rounded by heat absorbing greenery,
even will change the climate of that
part of the city.
The project has attracted much
attention from out-of town persons.
for other cities have the same prob
lens of a shortage of park facilities
and plot or two of vacant ground
that could be improved so wonder
fully.
Location Is Excellent
With Indianapolis pioneering the
way, no doubt the same movement
will be taken up in a number of
other inland cities.
1t is believed the citizens of In
dianapolis will receive more genuine
enjoyment from park located in
this neighborhOod than they could
from most Of the sites available on
the outskirts.
A park right in the city, with a
200-acre lake, and with the modern
amusements provided for a large
section of the community, will prove
as popular as anything undertaken
in indianapolis m years, in the judg-
ment OF those who have given the
subject thought.
Wish Park for Public
While the idea of the promoters
is not to commercialize the project,
the possibilities along that line have
appealed to a number of amusement
project promoters, so there is a
movement for purchase of the tract
and converting it into an amuse-
ment center.
Those in charge of the develop
ment, however, are not anxious to
see it take this form. They want
a park the public of Indianapolis
can enjoy to the utmost, a health
spot as well as a recreation center,
and thus far they have resisted all
temptation to permit the place to
be conmercialized

night in the recent New York comedy
success, "Up Pops The Devil" by Al

and Howard Miller immensely. This

For forty-two years the love affairs
of frankie and Johnnie have been
sung in the far-flung places of the
world where Americans gathered, UNI
til in the words of Carl Sandburg in
his book, 1.-THE American Songbag,"
the story and the melody have be-
come classical
Now, after having been recounted In
the gold rush camps, in army bar
racks and aboard ships, frankie and
Johnnie have been immortalized in
celluloid by Pathe. The picture, which
is based upon the characters OF the
song, is titled accurately from the
lyric, "Her Man" 1t will be on view
at the Vashon Theatre on Wednesday,
June 10. II
With more than hundred varia-
tons of the melody in existence,
placed one time in some seething
western town, or again in the back
woods, Pathe decided to set the story
in the maelstrom of the Havana
slums.

pears as the relentless frankie, and

eyes and dangerous smile, is Johnnie
the man who done her wrong" Mar
jorie Rambeau makes her screen
debut as Annie, with whom, in the
ancient melody. Frankie's man trifled

sire of all frankie and Johnnie songs
was born ON the Mississippi river in
1888 and it was called MY Baby In
a Guinea Blue Gown" The song is
contained in r. Emmett Kennedy's
booy, "Mellows."
