Conditions in Buildings Attended by 5000
City Children Are Branded I'm
safe and Insanitary.
ANCIENT BOILERS SEEN AS MENACE
Survey by Superintendent Osler Adds Weight
to Charges Made by President
of Board in Address,

More than 5000 Indianapolis public school children
attending schools where conditions admittedly de-
cidedy unsafe and insanitary revealed by school
officials today following charges Tuesday by Russell Will
son. school board president before members of the Gyro
Club
Wilson said that n the budget for the present school
year the board of commissioners requested 100000 for
school building repairs but this amount cut $4,000 by
the state board of tax commissioners.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-20

we are uIldDl0, WlIH InlS
amount, to put all of our nine
ty-seven public school build
ings in safe and sanitary con-
dition."
At school No. y, it was revealed
today, a boiler, installed more than
twenty-five years ago, and even
then secondhand, still is in use.
Boiler Just Patches
H. F. Osler, superintendent of
buildings and grounds, reported to
Wilson that the boiler "has been
patched year after year, until now
it is case of putting patch on a
patch. It is getting near the point
of being almost impossible to keep
together"
Last fall, when hearings were
held, OSler made a plea for funds
to install new boiler at No. IL,
but William H. Book, chairman of
the civic affairs committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, was report
ed to have said, eff the boilers
could be used last year, they can be
used this year.
THAT isn't the attitude we
want asserted Wilson today
'"That boiler isn't going to explode
or anything like that.
No Immediate Danger
"There is no immediate danger
whatever, but we can't keep putting
these things off. We want our chill
dren to be housed in schools where
there isn't single trace of peril.
Information disclosed in Osler's
year-end report Of the board OF
commissioners revealed such condi-
tons that additional information
was requested. Osler's personal let
ter to Wilson formed the basis Of
the latter's speech to the Gyro Club
in which he said that thirteen ele-
mentary schools and three high
ScOolS needed repairs badly.
School No. IL has 563 pupils, Off
cial figures showed today.
Fire Hazard Present
Osler'S letter to Wilson cited the
fact that at one school there is only
six inches of space between the boil
erS and the flooring of the class
rooms above.
In the event Of overheating, which
is not likely, because the boiler i,
a low pressure plant, there woulc
be a grave fire hazard, and OSlel
reported that the space is SO scant
that the underside of the floor car
not even be lined with asbestos.
The trouble lies in the origina
construction, not enough "heac
room" being provided above the
boiler, and OSler said that it woulc
cost more to refine and repair the
situation than to install a new heat
ing plant.
Action Called Unwise
"It certainly is unwise," said Will
son, "even in times like these, to
curtail school expenditures. We
should make our buildings safe fol
our children, and our motto should
be the child first"
At seven elementary schools, Nos
18, 20, 45, 81, 81, so and 70, old cast
iron toilet equipment is in use
branded by Osler as germ and odol
breeders"
"They most certainly need new

Your Home and You
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

To be sure the price of meat is
lower now than it has been for some
time. but that Is no reason why we
should be less careful about making
use of leftover meats. or why We
should go to the wasteful habits that
prevailed in most American families
before the war.
Remember to start with that it is
bad economy to buy high-priced meat
for q roast, more than half of which
will be used in leftovers later on to
make meat dishes for which cheaper
meat would have done just as well.
Whenever possible buy no more meat
to start with than you will need for
a single meal But If your family is
too small to consume roast in one
meal-and you must have roasts oc-
casionally-then be sure to make good
use of what remains.
A simple, easy way of making use
of any roast is to cut it in slices or
cubes which may be quickly reheated
enough gravy left you may make more
from stock obtained by simmering the
bones and scraps OF the roast.
Stews are not usually so good when
made from leftover meat as from meat
that has not previously been cooked,
but there is variety of appetizing
hashes that may be made from left
over lamb or beef. Creole hash is es-
pecially good. To make 1t mince one
slice of onion and one-quarter of .
green pepper and fry two tablespoons
Of butter in a frying pan until they are
soft and slightly Drowned. Add one cup
Of coarsely chopped meat and three
quarters cup of cold boiled potatoes cut
into small cubes, Then add one-quarter
cup of gravy or stock made from the
meat bones and one-quarter cup Of
tomato puree, Add salt and pepper to
taste. Cooked rice may be used in place
of the potatoes. and leftover green
peas If you have them on hand may
also be added

Tucks Appear in Handkerchiefs

the clever thing about these new hand

It is best to use chiffon for the hand

TN the moonlight ON the shore OF
the pond of Paddy the Beaver,
deep in the Green Forest, two 1T
/ tie strays met. One was Inky the
black coated little son Of Jimmy
Skunk. The other was Grunty, the
little son of Unc' Billy Possum. Both
were strays that is to say, both hao
strayed away from their parents and
brothers and sisters, and so were now
out in the Great World for themselves.
Inky, having already learned that be-
cause he was armed with little scent
gun. after the manner OF his father
and mother, he was respected; was
quite fearless. Had he not already
made great big Buster Bear back out OF
his way? Also had he not already met
and been treated most politely by Gray
Fox? So. when in the moonlight ne
discovered Grunty on the shore OF
Paddys pond he boldly advanced to
something he had found that he didn't
see Inky at all. This was not to be
wondered at. for Inky was so very black
that it was difficult to distinguish him
from the Black Shadows in which he
had approached. So Grunty knew
nothing of his presence until Inky
stamped in that funny way he has OF
doing.
Instantly Grunty whirled to face him.
drawing back his lips to show a set of
sharp teeth. Inky stepped out into the
moonlight with his tail raised, and
Grunty backed a little, opened his
mouth wide, and gave a feeble little
hiss 1t didn't sound at all convincing.
Inky paid no attention to it, He came
a few steps nearer, and Grunty half
turned as il to run away He was as
big as Inky. vet he was afraid. That
much was clear. Inky dropped his tail
little.
Who are you?' he asked, and he
was polite about it.

piled Grunty What 70. co yo' carry

fort. There was sorrow in his life to
be sure-gold can not guard any life
from sadness-but he was not worried
as to whether he would have food TO
eat. His favorite foods, oddly enough,
were rice, milk and cherry pie.
II you had been in Berlin on a Sun
day morning in 1922, you might have
attended a concert at the Mendelssohn

was no charge to attend 1t, but you

At the piano you would have seen
17-year-old Fanny Mendelssohn; at the
cello her little brother, Paul. A small
girl Rebecca, was singing; and proudly
directing the orchestra was 13-year-
old boy-that was Felix.
1t was a musical family, without
doubt but the one who was to win
lasting fame was the boy director.
When he was seven years old, Felix
made trip 10 Paris with his father and
there he was given q few music les
sons: but he did not start to master
music In earnest until after he returned
to Berlin.

BY the time he was IL years old, Felix
