"The picture 1 liked most was the
one where the man stole his wife jew
elry and then run away and never
came back."
"I liked that picture best where a
woman with three children and a hus
band was being made 'love to hy two
other men."
The above are two specimens of an
swers received from South Bend
school children by .Mayor Fred W.
Keller's board of motion picture and
theatrical investigators, appointed two
weeks aso to ko into the local theatri
cal and moving picture situation, and
report what in their Judgment should
be eliminated, and how to do it. Tho
board has been taking a census of the
schools, to get at the condition of the
youthful mind, and what is quoted
above is among the results. Hut not
all the replies are of that tenor; most
of them are of higher tone.
The report scheduled to be made to
the mayor "Wednesday failed to ma
terialize, except as to the line of in

consisting of City Controller Manning,
chairman, and Mrs. t'harles P. Drum

divided into specialists, alonir differ
ent lines, and no report is likely for
a couple of weeks.
"We are having splendid success
with the school census," said Chairman
! Manning, Wednesday, "believing that
it is the real key to the situation.
AVhen we have linished this, we mean
to take the matter up with the. theater
managers and sf,e what can be done in
the wav of securing their coopera
tion." Meanwhile the theaters are being
closely watched by members of the
board, and information is being se
cure! 1'rpni other cites to ascertain
what they sire doing along the same
line. Some kind of regulative ordi
nance may have to be recommended
by the board. Chairman Manning ex
presses himself as friendly to the mo
tion picture, which seems to he hav
ing most attention from the board, but
thinks It should lie kept up to a high
standard, both from the standpoint
of education and entertainment.

Creneral endorsement of the sugges
tion to simplify dress among the
school children, was sounded in a
series of statements to The News
Times Wednesday by principals and
teachers of the South Bend schools
apropos of the proposal made, by Mrs.
A. II. Kico in an address before the
Studebaker Civic club Tuesday eve-
Several of the school authorities,
particularly those in the higher
grades. Indicated that over-dressing
Is a very grave menace to school olli
ciency and said that in several cases
pupils have been known to stop school
because they could not afford to keep
up the pace.
Here is what the school people
say:
SUPERINTENDENT I- J. MONT
GOMERY "I think it would be a
good plan and would meet with my
approval, but uniforms are too sug
gestlvo of the private boarding school,
I fear, to be practical."
FREDERICK SIMS, principal
high school, heartily endorses any
plan to simplify and regulate the style
of dress worn hy high school girls.
He says that it has been his desire
ever since coming to the school to re
duco all kinds of useless expense. In
the matter of books and entertain
ments this has already been done to
a great extent. "The girls who could
least afford to wear elaborate dresses
would be the ones who would prob
ably object the most." he said, "but
It would be a tine idea and I am
heartily in favor of it."
MRS. ESSIE HISS EI J DA KIN,
head of the department of mathe
matics in high school "I am thor
oughly in sympathy with such a
movement, especially in the matter of
regulating the wearing of jewelry and
articles -of adornment. A string of
beads or a simple pin are apj(ropriate,
but collections of bracelets ami vari
ous other forms of fads are out of
place in the school room."
Would land llarhuric Display.
MISS MARION (JOODMAN, girls
physical culture director in high
school She endorses the idea espe
cially in regard to the barbaric, dis
play of color in hair ribbons. If such
a thing could be done it would be
good, she thinks, hut the possibility
of carrying it into effect is doubtful.
"It might spoil the originality of the
girl," she said. They are at th age
when they are just beginning to dis
play originality and initiative in dress
and to limit them might he more of a
detriment than a guide in matters of
taste in dress.
JOHN A. It EVE IIS, Principal Eighth
Grade: "Uniform dress for the chil
dren of the "high school impresses me
as it very desirable thing. And it
would be just as practicable for the
Eighth grade as for the high school,
as we have found many caes in which
children entering the Eighth grade at
just the time w hen they become sensi
tive in matters of dress, leave school
because they are shabby. Of course
that is not universally true, but we
have found many such cases. The
uniform should be very .simple and
planned to meet the needs of all
pupils."
M1VS MAN DA ROMIG. principal
Lafayette school: "The question of
dress does not affect the lower grades
to any extent. Not infrequently the
children of the poorer classes whose
mothers are handy with the needle and
are able to make over the little frocks,
come dressed quite as nicely a.s the
children from better homes, so there
is very little cause for self-consciousness
on that score. As for the "high
school. I think it might be a good
thing."
Not Vital In Lower (Inules.
MISS WINONA DoDD, principal of
Madison school: "We have very little
cause to complain at the. way our chil
dren are dressed. That is a thing we
leave to tho common sense of the
mothers and. in the majority of cases.
we find the children to lie comfortable
and clean. The main thing is to keep
tho children wholesome- and clean. As
for uniforms our children aren't or
phans." MISS EVELYN STAFFORD, prin
cipal Kaley school: "As a rule, the
children of this district sire not over
dressed. Many, however, are not
sufficiently clad, and it is my. belief
that the added expense which a uni
form might Incur among the poorer
families would cause more withdraw
als than present conditions. More
over, children of the grades do not
consider clothes. In some districts
they have no oportunity to do so. An
agitation for cleanliness would do
more good in the grades.
In high school and the Eighth grade
however, uniforms or at least dress
tensorship would. I think, be a v ry
good thing. Fashion rather than
common sense seems inclined to play
Hie larger part in the dress of the high
school girl."
MIS.S ELLA R I EM AN. principal
Riv er "Park school: "I do not believe
in uniforms. The dress of the child
should express individuality as much
as that of the grownup. In the grades
dress is more a matter of taste than
of expense. It is not the children
of the wealthy who over-dress. Or
dinarilv thev are dressed verv simplv."
MISS FERN PARKER, hiu'h school
director of the department of music.
would favor the plan, but doubted
whether or not a m-dium of style and
expense could be figured which would
be within the reach of every student.
Mrs. Rice held that the dress of
the school child is closely allied with
the problem of school delinquency.
"I believe it is one of the real causes
of school desertion." she said.
She explained this situation due in
part to a difference in. the financial
plane of many of the . parents of
school children.
Want to Kevp Pace.
Some parents, she said, are not
able to clothe their children as elab
orately as others. Children being of
an imitative nattr and also sensitive
in matters of tires, are prone to grow
weary of school life if not able to

Seven Again in South Bend at
Work on Route for Lake
Michigan to Lake Erie
"Big Ditch."
PATRONAGE AND WATER
SUPPLY BEING PROBED
How to Cross Net-Work of
Railroads and Not Interfere
With Traffic Another Big
Conundrum.
United .States engineers detailed to
work out a route for a I,ake Michi
gan to lake Krie canal are again in
South Uend, furthering their investi
gations beun scm six weeks apo,
and promising after another week's
stay to know fairly well what the
prospects are of this city ever being
"blessed" with any kind of inland
"sea-port." The Chamber of Com
merce has opened its rooms to the
engineers as their headquarters.
The troupe consists of I. M.
Churchill, chief engineer in charge,
and M. H. Sutherland, his assistant:
Prank Scholes, in charge of held
party; 1. B. (ilasgow, in charge of
topography, and II. P. Sacknus, L. a.
Thomas and E. D. Thomas, in charge
of water works. The board of army
engineers, under whom they are act
ing, consists of Col. John Millis, Bos
ton; Col. G. A. Zinn, Philadelphia,
and Col. C. P. Bromwell, Cleveland,
and it is to these that the engineers
will make their report.
"We can give out no information,"
said Chief Engineer Churchill, "as to
what Ave shall recommend, but only
what we are doing. Cur opinion and
conclusions, based upon our findings,
will be reserved for the board. We
cannot even suggest whether the
canal will touch South Bend or not."
Water supply for the canal, trans
portation available along the route,
and how to get past the railroads, as
well as the amount of digging neces
sary, are the leading inquiries to
which answer is sought on the pres
ent trip.
Water Supply is Problem.
Water supply to operate the canal
must be available along tho route,
and prospectively the year around,
and one of the. questions incident to
following the .St. Joseph is the num
ber of dams that have been construct
ed in it, and the extent of the rights
of the owners can prohibit the govern
ment from drawing on the river for
canal uses.
. If the Indiana and Michigan Elec
tric Co. should prove through the
construction of its dams, along with
other dam owners, to have obtained
sutiieient control over the waters of
the St. Joseph, that they can prevent
those waters being diverted into the
canal; and. should they determine to
exercise that power, or refuse to re
linquish it, it is more than likely that
the Harris route through here will he
deserted, and the canal builders will
turn to the Taylor route and the
Kankakee for water sustenance. This
would leave South Bend several
miles to the north of the artiliciai
stream.
Et. Wayne appenra to be favoring
the Taylor route :is it is. This may
be due to its rivalry with South Bend,
or it may not. This route strikes out
from South Chicago, crosses the Kan
kakee near English lake, passes
through Rochester, direct to Wabash,
and then turns to the northeast, tak
ing in Ft. Wayne, Defiance, o., and
other points along the historic Mau
mec. The Taylor route from Ft. Wayne to
Ii ke Erie is about the same a.s the
Harris route, but westerly from Ft.
Wayne, the Harris route strikes north
west, through Columbia, (Joshen, Elk

GETS SECOND DIVORCE
FROM WOMAN HE WED
AFTER A WEEK APART
James E. Spink, an insurance agent
and solicitor, was granted a divorce
in the circuit court, on Wednesday
from his wife, Daisy E. Spink, on a
cross bill he filed against her after
she had asked tho court for a divorce.
The marital life of the Sninks lias
been a rather unusual one. The cou
ple were divorced in 1012 in the Kos
ciuszko circuit court and within a
week were married again. They man
aged to live together a year before
the wife ran away with a carnival
troupe, it is alleged, and a second in
cursion into tho divorce courts be
came necessary.
In granting the decree Wednesday
Judge Funk bad a few words to say
to Spink on tho subject of taking up
the time of the courts and setting di
vorces only to remarry and then ask
for another divorce. The judge asked
Spink if he would marry the woman
again if granted his divorce this time
and Spink replied in the negative.
Intimacy with other men, one of
whom was a diamond broker, was
mentioned in the crols complaint. The
previous divorce was granted for the
same reason. The wife accused the
husband of cruelty in her petition.
