And though it not Walter himself, it was his
battery mate, Gabby Street. who brought still fur

turnip and then baseball dropped from the top of
the Washington Monument. Sol Bloom processes to
love his country well, but what did he catch
and from what towering public structure was it
dropped? Sol has caught only the can't-do-it habit
which prevails upon the Hill He has listened too
long to the current slogan of the nine whose home
grounds lie only couple of blocks away from the
Congress.
AS McReynods winds up you catch a clear

EXCERPT from newspaper files of Sept. 10, 1902: The
sanitary conditions of most buildings and oubuidings
in the county is bad-very bad. They have four walls,
windows that cast light in the shape of letter X
and have unsheded recepaces for wood and coal in the
center of the room says w. F. Lander, Marion County
school superintendent.
Excerpt from the Indianapolis School Board Commit
tee report, January 1885, The committee goes record
condemnng the continued of those frame buildings
commonly called portabes, which poorly lighted and
ventilated nsantary and are all respects unfit for
school purposes"

said Mrs. Rentschler. Sometimes
we move the classes to vantage
points around the stoves on cold
days"
And yet she and her two COM
panion teachers say that condi-
tons at School So are improved,
as compared to former years, and
that plenty of coal is kept near
the stoves firebox and that they
keep as warm as possible in the
cardboard-li like buildings.
The would like to have inside
toilet facilities and better heat
ing.
TINE building committee of the
4 Board of School Commits
sioners says of School So:
1.-THE school was opened in 1925.
Toilet facilities are located out
side, but as sanitary as it is posi-
BILE to make them, the committee
feels that the conditions under
which these children are attend
ing school are extremely unsatis-
factory and should be remedied-
the committee recommends steam
heat and inside toilets be installed
and that other repairs be made to
make these buildings more &C
ceptable.''
School SO is third on the list of
three grade schools to be mod
ernized under g $4,000 program
for seven elementary schools of
the city.
Modernization work may begin
after the close of this school year.
An estimated expenditure of $10,-
900 will send 68s children to a
well-ventilated building. There
are to be no draughts and there
are to be inside toilet and wash
: room facilities.
CCHOOL NO. SO at 1901
~ Kappes-st, and School No. 81
at 5000 Cottage-av, Negro educa-
tional institutions, are two other
portable units scheduled to be
modernized at estimated expendi-
lures of $4,000 for each school.
The two buildings also have out
side toilets as well as poor
ventilation.
Elimination of outside lava
tories at Schools So, SO and 81
would leave but two schools in the
city with outside toilets-Schools
80 and 10.
Pupils in eight portable
structures here are forced to go
from the frame structures to
main buildings to use the wash
rooms.
New additions at a total cost
of $4,000 are proposed at
Schools A, 81, At and 35 to do
away with portable structures
which have resulted in harming
the health of children through
improper heating, poor ventila-
ton, and causing them to go to
main buildings at recess periods
for Mushroom facilities.
If this schedule is carried out
the Indianapolis school system
will bave but four portable
units where it is necessary to use
main building Mushrooms. The
schools are numbers 20, It
and 81.
Possible population shifts and
the inability to determine future
needs, as we'll as the fact that the
four schools are not in as un-
fortunate circumstances as those
included in the modernization
program, hold action on them in
allegiance, school commissioners
say.

they are for Roosevelt's re-elec-
ton"
Incurdble
IN the last day of the Senate
~ Munitions Committee hear
ings, two gun dealers stepped out
side the committee room and held
a private conversation in the hall.
One was J. Cuneil de Figuer-
ola, Spanish born American, who
has supplied guns and anmuni-
ton for many a revolution. The
other was Jacob Paley, who had
turned from the millinery trade
to salvaging machine guns junked
by the U. S. Army.
Each had listened to the others
testimony, each had been casti-
gated by the committee for I'M
scrupulous trade in lethal weap-
ons.
Outside the door, Paley button
holed Figuerola. Say. do you
want to make deal?"
Sure. what is it?" said Figuer-
ola.

"All right. I'll come up and
see you some time"
Left Attack
nov. ALT LANDON of Kansas
" has hit upon the scheme of
attacking the New Deal from the
left as well as from the right.
He has hired a prominent news
paper man of radical leanings to
direct his campaign on the left
front.
Monroe Doctrine
THE Monroe Doctrine is dead.
L Probably no one in the
State Department would admit
this, but it is the report quietly
being made by Latin American
diplomats to their governments.
WhsG they say killed the Mon
roe Doctrine is a provision in the
amended neutrality bill recently
passed by the House and Senate.
The bill specifies that in case of
war between a Latin American
country and a European enemy,
the United States may sell arms
to the American country but not
to the European.
This, according to Latin Ameri-
can diplomats, presuppoSes that
the United States would permit
European country to invade an
American country and, aside from
selling arms, would do nothing
about it.

been designed for your figure,
Madame.
In the daily column, balanced
low calorie menus are given for
those who need to lose weight.
Specific exercises are planned for
those who need to lose inches.
Should you wish to lose both
weight and inches, combine the
calorie method with exercise. High
calorie menus and special weight
gaining material are included for
the underweights who desire to
exchange their angles for curves.
The figure proportioning exer-
else series begins with the general

deals with all the big and little

rounded shoulders, flabby arms,
