BUSINESS NEWS FOR THE WEEK
WORK is BEGUN
AT PLAYGROUND
FOR AUTO SHOW
Annual City Exhibit to Be
Held Week of
Feb. 3 to g.

Following setting Of Feb. to 9
as the week Of the Indianapolis Au-
tomobile Show, small army OF
workmen has been steadily at the
task of preparing the Manufac-
urers building at the state fair
ground for the exhibit. it is an
nounced by the Indianapolis Auto
mobile Trade Association. under
whose auspices the show is held
Reports of large crowds at other
shows, the outlook for improvement
in automobile sales during 1884 have
spurred the trade association to its
greatest effort toward making the
twenty-third annual auto show the
most successful, as we'll as the most
interesting in the history of the
association.
The building IS being completely
renovated and redecorated for the
show, and the association is in con-
slant touch with factories to in
sure a complete exhibit for Indian
apolis.
Some concern was at first felt due
to manufacturers difficulties in get
ting the new models in production.
but the association has the aSsur-
ance of all that although several
popular lines probably will not be
available at dealers showrooms be-
fore February, every name plate will
be represented on the floor when
the show gets under way.
This hardness applies especially
to those models which have made
the most changes for 1884, partic-
ularly the radical new streamline
cars, and at least three of these
will be in the field this year. It
is not anticipated, however, that
the public will see these cars here
before the show.
Special attractions for the amuse-
ment and entertainment of show
crowds are being arranged by the
association, which expects the
products of a completely changed
industry to draw a record crowd.

tors by its primitive Balearic Gus
toms and costumes, the ancient
habiliments and manners now obso-
lete on the main island.
The opening of modern hotels and
the more modest prices charged for
living with its rustic atmosphere
and ancient Moorish influence,
places Ibiza in new role-from a
community of primitive curiosity to
one competing with Mallorca. The
low cost Of Ibiza gives the backward
sister island a decided advantage as
the dollar changed into pesetas al
lows one to live in quiet comfort
for approximately 10 cents a day.

their debut here in 1929
The spotlight is continuously To-
cused upon Cuba Austin, comedy
drummer and juggler. whose antics
with the drum sticks keep crowd
in front OF the orchestra stage all
evening.
There has been no change in the
Cotton Pickers personnel, although
they have dropped the name Nc
Kinney, which belonged TO the for
ner owner and manager.

Box Reyue's only appearance on the

PAINTING NOW
ADVISED CODE
TO RAISE COST
Wage Increases viii Be as
Much as 100 Per Cent
in Some Cases.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
Property owners who act immediate
ly may still avail themselves of low
cost renovating and upkeep painting
before labor costs soar upward un-
der the code of fair competition
for the building and construction in
dustry.
The bureau of labor statistics, de-
partment Of labor, attributes cur.
rent rise in the cost of building ma
terialS generally to slight advances
in prices of paints and painting
material, following the passage o.
the code for the paint, varnish anc
lacquer industries Nov. IS.
The wage provisions of the code
for the painting, paper hanging anc
decorating division of the construc-
ton industry would represent, ir
some instances, an increase of more
than 100 per cent in existing labor
rates, according to spokesman for
the International Society of Master
Painters and Decorators, appearing
at hearings before the national re-
covery administration at Washing
ton.
Where Increase Is Felt
This increase, leaders in the paint
industry point out, will be reflected
in the cost of upkeep painting to
the home owner, factory main
tenance supervisor and office build
ing manager. Much additional eX-
pense can be averted if the work is
done Immediately, they declare, since
the code can not become operative
until the second Monday after its
approval by the President"
The minimum hourly wage scale
set up under the code is 40 cents
per hour, except in localities where
the rate was less than that on July
Is, 1929. In these localities the
1929 rate will prevail, provided it
was not less than 80 cents per hour
Under the code, however, it is
stipulated that other minimum
wage rates may be established in
certain areas, based on agreements
reached between employers and en-
ployes through collective bargain
ing. This may mean higher labor
costs in some localities, it is pointed
out.
Competent Man Defined
There is popular belief that
painting must be confined to warm
weather, the National Paint, Var
nlsh and Lacquer Association points
out, but there is major proportion
OF such work which may be done
during winter months. Property
owners also are advised to consult a
master painter on the work, whose
experience permits him to make re-
liable recommendations concerning
both interior and exterior surface
conditioning.
An experienced painter is de-
Scribed as an individual who knows
paints, can determine in short order
whether a surface is or is not in
proper condition to be painted, and
is thoroughly conversant with the
proper ways to apply paint to get
the best and most lasting results.
These are not SO much trade secrets
as they are the accumulation of
years of practical service and ex-
perience, during which he has en-
countered all manner of conditions
and has learned just what must be
done in each case to accomplish the
most effective results.

Alamo Offers
Two Adventure
Screen Plays

The Alamo offers today, tomor-
row and Monday the first city
showing of two major pictures.
John Wayne. popular western star,
will be seen in THE Sagebrush
Trail" a story of man falsely i'm
prisoned for murder, and who
escapes and sets out for the wide
open spaces of the great west in
his quest Of the guilty man.
He is befriended by an outlaw
scout and suddenly finds himself
part of their band. Just how he
manages to escape his perilous po-
sition and get his man" is brought
about in thrilling climax.
The other feature is Paramount
White Woman" directed by Stuart
Walker, and stars Carole Lombard,
Charles Laughton, Charles Bickford
and Kent Taylor.
white Woman" is story Of the
Malay jungles Of treacherous saw
ages, woman-starved white men
and a beautiful, appealing white
woman, a prize for these men who
live at the last stop before hell"
Charles Laughton as king" Of
the river country takes a liking to
the woman and claims her as his
property. Charles Bickford, an
other self-appointed ruler, claims
her as his woman.
While these two half-savage men
are warning over the girl, Kent
Taylor, less savage, wins her love.
But in order to have complete
happiness, the young pair is forced
to put up a desperate fight and
nearly lose their love for each other.

MAINTENANCE OF HOME
Is MEASURED BY PAINT

Surface Coating May Be Considered
as Basis of Judgment.
Home maintenance begins with
paint, according to a recent issue of
House and Garden.
"As a man is to some extent
judged by his clothes" a writer for
the publication declares, so are we
very apt to judge a house, and in
cidentally, the owner, by its paint.

City Man Is Leader in
Automobile Code Work
National Organization Is
Headed by Don Herr,
GARAGE Owner,

Don Herr has been very active In
the formation of the National Auto
motive Maintenance Association and
has been one of the key men in
formulating the industry's code,
which is scheduled to go before the
President within the next few DAYS.
IN addition to managing his au-
tomotive repair garage, the Don
Herr Company, 100 Kentucky ave-
nue., Mr.. Herr has been busy these
past few months in association work.
The national association was formed
in June, 1888, and has had several
meetings since, both here and in
Detroit.
The question Of a workable code
for the automotive repair industry
arose in August and as the chief
officer, he led in drawing up the
code.
In September, Mr.. Herr made a
trip to Washington, D. c., to offer
substitution to the Presidents
unemployment agreement.
Since, in the interest Of the in
dustry, it has been necessary for
him to make three more trips to
the capital, the last being Dec. 8,
when final hearing on the code was
held. This last meeting was at
tended by national leaders of the
automotive repair industry.
1T is certainly a pleasure to feel
that this code business virtually is
finished" he says, "and to know
that We have been able not only to
render ourselves a real service but
to give auto owners real service.
This could have, been accomplished
only through the heartiest CO.
operation of our whole industry"
