"THE North Side needs a play

"THE North Side needs a play

building where we could bring to-
gether those who find time dull

pocketbooks," Mr.. Ball says.
Out of his efforts on behalf of
the city he sees the possibility of
building a permanent recreation
al structure.
L. A. Strauss, chairman of Mr..
Balls committee, speaks of this
permanency in the need for oc-
cupying the leisure hours of men,
women, and children of thee flu
ture.
Work hours have been short
ened. We all have more play time.
The government will withdraw
from recreational activities as
times get better. We hope to
create a foundation of recreational
fulflllment that will be carried on
willingly by the City of Indian
apolis and its own taxpayers I'M

ment," Mr.. Strauss said.
Irvington, always proud of its
own undrawn boundary lines, has
solved this being a part of Indi-
annapolis and its recreation sys-
tenn by five churches grouping
together under the Irvington
Recreation Associations banner.
1.-THE DoWney-av Christian,
Irvington Presbyterian and Irv-
ington Methodist churches have
gymnaSiumS. Our Lady of
Lourdes Catholic Church and the
EmerSOn-av Baptist Church have
no gyms. But they banded to-
gether and all our activities are
held in the main in the churches
with gyms. When we are forced
to withdraw from the picture Irv-
ington will carry on the work."
said Mr.. Ball.
Then hopefully he added, May

But this session has got started
with one yawn after another.
This is due to two reasons:
First, the Administration is sit
ting firmly on the lid of all legiS-
lation SO as to give the right OF
way to its program, which is being
doled out piece-meal.
Second. this Congress is the first
in its 148-year-old history, that it
has convened fresh from the polls.
Previously Is months and
lame duck" session interviewed
before the newly elected members
took Office.
This lapse of time enabled them
to get acclimated and into har-
ness. 1t made for a greater con-
tinuity in the tempo of Congress.
1t also gave lame ducks mar
velouS opportunities for log-roll-
ing, pork grabbing and other deals.
Which was why after a decade of
effort, Senator George Norris

into the Constitution.

CANDY HAIRED Joe Kennedy,
- Boston Irish chairman of the
Securities Exchange Commission,
is still hopping his brow.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee had slashed next years
grant for his commission from
S2,3O0,00O recommended by the
Budget Bureau to $1,8OO,0OO. After
vehement protest by Joe, the COM
mittee finally added 100000
bringing the total to $2,0O0,000.
This was the condition of the
SEC appropriation when it went
to the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Joe, insisting that unless the re-
naming 100000 was granted, the
work of the SEC would be seri-
ously crippled. prepared to do bat

The outlook, however, was
gloomy.
Head of the committee is Vir-
ginia's dyspeptic Carter Glass.

the commission was under con-

at his home last night and he told
me not to come. Maybe I
shouldn't have come. 1t might
irritate him"
Glass was waiting for Joe. But
not in the mood he had feared.
The little Virginian was gra-
cious, friendly, courteous.

several moments to collect him.

THE electrical industry faces 1885 with confidence
i and the expectation of continued improvement
in business during the year. This view is based upon
the encouraging signs encountered in 1884.
The three factors which are expected to contri
butte most to the continued expansion in 1885 are:
The increased adoption of electrical appliances in
the home the need for undermining many indus
trial plants and the invention of new and improved
devices.
According to Gerard Swope president of the
General Electric Co. the volume Of electrical manu-
featuring business in 1884 than 80 per
cent greater than in 1888. The consumption of cleo
tricity throughout the United States was approx
mately per cent greater than that in 1888 and
came close to the maximum consumption in the
years 1929 and 1880.
1t is also significant that 1884 was the third con-
secutive year in which there unusual demand
for motors with special electrical or mechanical
characteristics. These motors required for the
modernization Of industrial plants.
ELECTRICAL experts see the need for continued
u modernization of industrial plants because of
the many recent Improvements in electrical equip
ment made possible by research work and advanced
engineering. They estimate that more than hall
of all American industrial machinery is partly
obsolescent because of these advances.
Considerable advancement was made in 1884 in
the application of electricity to the problems of
transportation.
A new type of streamined electric locomotive
has been designed and tested in connection with
the Pennsylvania Railroad identification project
These locomotives ran at speeds of 100 miles
hour the highest speed so far obtained by locomo-
tives Of this class in the United States.
IMPORTANT Investigations were carried on in the
realm Of lightning. The subject is of more than
academic interest 10 the electrical industry since
long transmission lines require adequate protection
against the hazards OF lightning. new camera was
developed which made 1t possible to obtain pictures
revealing many Of the characteristics of lightning
The discovery made during the year that in
many fields the application of electricity was limited
by the materials available for construction purposes
rather than by any gaps in theory or difficulties in
design. Consequently, the big electrical companies
are devoting more and more Of their research work
TO the field of metallurgy.
Important developments in this field include new
forms Of high-strength ductila iron, oxygen-free
copper, and beryllum alloys whose properties can be
varied to meet special requirements by means of
heat treatment.
Q-who is backing the American Veterans Asso-
citation?
Authorization regarding this organization can
be obtained by writing to the American Veterans
Association Chattanooga, Tenn.

animals that store their food for the winter.

and embraces the work Of the home

98 per cent OF a teachers success
in pupil guidance Is determined by
three things: Personality, effort,
and time. Our high school offers
little vocational guidance except
indirectly and through the general
guidance program.
The forgotten child is not neces-
sarily the one who fails to meet the
demands of the standard Of grad
ing. He may be one who does not
have worthy experiences; one whose
home and school do not cooperate;
enc whose home lacks unity or
whose teachers lack insight; one
who has not found one person with
sympathy and understanding or one
who has unfortunate experiences
elsewhere. Once the schools stress
ed only mental and physical train
ing. To that has been added emo
tional, social. and vocational guild
ance.
A Russian peasant has said. Eyes,
we have learned to fly through the
air like birds and swim under the

Young people today want answers
to practical questions: what Is to
be done about unemployment and
the instability OF the family? Do we
need a change Of government? Why
does everyone seem to feel so un-
certain?" How can ignorant parents
and ignorant teachers guide the
youth OF today? Zeal is badly need
