Succeeds Late Louis LeVey
on indianapolis Welfare
Trustee Board.

Josiah K. Lilly today assumed his

space above it for cabinet to be
set into the wall.
Bathroom tiling usually goes up
about five feet, although a shower
stall may be entirely tiled. In doing
over an old room, tile is not so easy
to apply, because the plaster must
be cut back to the studs, and metal
lath applied for a cement backing
to which the tiles are cemented.
Because of this inconvenience, you
may prefer a special grade of limo
leum.
In a bathroom, the position OF the
lighting fixtures is important. The
best arrangement seems to be a
light on each side of the mirror.
The fixtures should be combined
with outlets for the plugging-in OF
electric toilet appliances. A bath
room that is not we'll heated should
have an outlet for an electric heater,
which can be portable or built into
the wall.
ColorS for a bathroom should de-
pend on the exposure of the room.
In one bathroom that know. with
single window facing north, the
thing, the walls above, the ceiling,
and the shower curtain, are shades
of rose, giving the effect of warmth
and sunlight.
Shades of orange would also be
pleasant. Blue or green would be
satisfactory in room facing east,
south or west. For north room
the effect would be too cool.

In one house that know there is
a bathroom of which the door is
always kept shut for fear visitors
might see it. Bringing that room
up to date is one of the family plans.
AS the bath tub is on legs, clean
ing behind and under it is difficult.
The wash basin is in a corner and
hung on the wall. The toilet is of
the high tank variety. The floor
is wood, and the plastered walls are
finished with ordinary wallpaper,
which always is spotted.
In undermining the room, nothing
that is at present visible should re-
main, except the door and the win
dow. At first sight, making all the
necessary changes would seem like
a large and expensive piece of work,
but the whole job can be done for
less than $400-including VAIN
scoat of tile.
A tile substitute, like plaster
board or wall-board, grooved in imi-
tation of thing and enameled, will
bring down the price. The walls
above the tiling or similar finish
could be enameled, as well as the
ceiling.
All of the present fixtures would
go out except possibly the bathtub.
First choice would be new tub of
the builtin variety. but you can
economic by taking off the legs of
the present tub, wedging it into the
corner, and building framework
around it to be covered with tile.
The new toilet should have a low
tank, and the new washbasin should
be on a pedestal. There should be

CITY'S SHARE OF
TAX EQUITABLE,
JACKSON HOLDS
Much Money Comes Here
From Outside, Director
Reminds c. of c.

Marion county is getting back in
distributions to schools practically
the same amount that is being coll
lected in gross income taxes, G. A.
jackson, Indiana gross income tax
division director said today.
Mr.. jackson asserted that the
Chamber of commerce, while giving
accurate figures. failed to give the
entire story in its statement yester-
day that the distributing of gross
income tax collections to schools Is
unfair to Indianapolis.
1T is a fact that eighty-one of
Indiana's ninety-two counties re-
ceived back more in gross income
tax distributions to schools than had
been paid in gross income taxes by
these counties, and that Marion
county was not one Of them" Mr..
Jackson said.
collections recorded from Marion
county, however, include large pay
ments made by concerns with Of
fees in indianapolis, but which do
business all over the state,' Mr..
Jackson pointed out.
I'VE have no way of knowing
what proportion of the gross re-
ceiptS of the Indianapolis retail
stores really comes from outside
of Marion county, but the mer-
chants in the nearby counties know
that a Aarpe volume Of business is
leaving their towns daily to come to
Indianapolis
The statistical records for 1884 to
some degree will reflect some of
these gross receipts that now are
credited to indianapolis back to the
county to which they are due. This
is being made possible through the
cooperation of a number of large
firms able to break down their gross
receipts by counties, and are Civ
ing this information to use. How
ever, even then we will not be able
to reflect accurately just what
amount of business is a part OF
what could really be called Marion
county gross receipts.
The fact that these large gross
receipts credited to Marion county
to a large extent originate from
points out in the state was called to
the attention of the Chamber Of
Commerce, but it seems not to be
interested in that side of the prob
lem. e"

LEAGUES VOTE,
ON RUSSIA TO
COME QUICKLY
Soviet Admission by Next
Tuesday Is Probable,
Say Observers. =.
By United Press

By United Press
GENEVA, Sept. 15.-Soviet Rus
sia's agreement to enter the League
of Nations is conditioned upon
clean slate. leaving past problems
as they are and submitting to the
family of nations only such issues
as may arise in the future, it was
indicated today.
Having accepted an invitation to
join the league, consented to sub
NIT to the world court at The
Hague all future disputes, Moscow
has refused to submit to arbitration
any conflicts which arose prior to
Russias actual admission to the
league.
Russia's stipulation means the
crushing of the hopes of govern
ments which planned to exploit her
entry as a means of forcing her to
submit long-standing disputes to
international arbitration. Debts,
boundaries and other important is
sues would be involved in such ar
bitration.
The French delegation telephoned
to the chiefs of the various delega-
tons today, inviting them to visit
the headquarters Of foreign minis
ter Louis Barthou and sign an in
vitation to Russia to join the
League.
The first to sign was Barthou.
The next was Anthony Eden Of
Great britain, after which the rep
resentatives of twenty other ma
tions appended their names by IL
a. m. Others struggled in subse-
quently. and Barthou received as
surances that thirty-three nations
were ready to join the invitation.
The required two-thirds majority
of the assembly for Russia'S ad-
mission obviously was assured. The
invitation to Maxim Litzinoff, So
Wet foreign commissar, who is wait
across the French border for the
formal bid-he has insisted that
Russia be invited and not come as
a suppliant for admisSion-waS ex-
pected to be sent almost i'm
mediately.
Litvinof's reply undoubtedly will
be sent with his characteristic
promptness, SO that Russia's admis-
sion is probable by Tuesday or
Wednesday.
