CRAZY HOUSE,” LEFT BY FLOOD OF 1913, ATTRACTS MANY VISITORS

NINETY-ONE OUT OF 101 STEEL PLANTS MAKE INCREASES.

SOME RAISES EVERY 60 DAYS

The Indianapolis News Bureau, S3 Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON, July 14.-Tbe federal bureau of labor statistics has ascertained that more money was paid out in wages in May of this year than in any other one month in the history of the country. In & compilation of information based on reports for May, 1915. and May, 1916, and the intervening twelve months, the bureau shows that decided Increases have been made in rates of wages of employes in many lines of industry in the last year. Ninety-one of the 101 establishments in the iron and steel industry reporting announced increases of wages since May 1, 1915; ten only reported having made no Increases. Seven other establishment reported as to volume of employment, but failed to say whether wages ha4 been increased within the year. One establishment reported that ft had advanced its wages every sixty days in the year. One^half the increases made in this industry were of 10 per cent, each, with a range In the several increases of 5 to 30 per cent., aggregating 33 per cent, in one establishment where there had been three* separate advances. Forty-five establishments reported two increases of 10 per cent each, In nearly every case apapproximately all the employes of the establishments were affected by the increases, although three establishments reported that common labor only was benefited. The Increases in this industry were not confined to any one district, but were general in establishments in the eastern, middle western and southern states. Reports From Cotton Mills. Reports were received from thirty-one northern cotton mills as to whether changes in rates of wages were made in the year. Of this number every one gave a general increase in the year, and twen-ty-five establishments reported having increased wages twice in the year. The first of the two general increases in the cotton mills took effect in January and the second in April of this year. Of the thirty-one mills, twenty six gave increases in January. In twenty-four of these mills the Increase was 10 per cent. Of twenty-seven southern mills reporting, seven made a general increase in wages in the year and fifteen reported no general increase. Of the seven mills reporting an increase, one gave a 2% per cent, advance, one made a 10 per cent, increase, and one a 13% per cent increase. The Increases in wages reported in the woolen industry followed as to time and largely as to extent, the increase reported in cotton manufacturing and cotton finishing industries, the first period of the increase being in January, 1916, and the second period In April and May. Thirty-eight establishments reported increases both in January and May. The increases in January' range from 5 to 9 per cent., while the increase in April or May uniformly was 10 per cent. One establishment reported a single increase of 10 per cent, in May, and one a single increase of 17% per cent in January. 811k and Hosiery Industries. In the silk industry, twenty-seven of the establishments to which inquiries were sent reported increases in rates of wages, three reported reductions in hours, with no change of pay, eight reported no increase, and eight failed to respond to the Inquiry. % Of the twenty-seven reporting, the increases in this industry ranged from 6 to 15 per cent., the average being about 10 per cent. In the hosiery industry, thirteen establishments reported some increase in wages, fifteen reported none and thirty failed to reply to the inquiry. Such increases as were made amounted to about 10 per cent. The wage increases in the boot and shoe industry, according to the reports from that industry, have been gradual and specific, rather than general, throughout the industry. Twenty-one factories out of the seventy-one replying reported Increases. Few changes in wage rates were reported .in the cigar manufacturing establishments. Of fifty-one establishments replying to the Inquiry, only five reported an increase in rates. Twenty-one out of the thirty-nine car building and repairing shops that made returns, reported general increases in rates of wages made in the year. The average increase In this Industry amounted to about 10 per cent.

INTERIOR VIEW OF THE “CRAZY HOUSE.’

Carl Viebahn, commissioner of recreation, said today that arrangements were being made by his department whereby swimming lessons may be given the small children of Indianapolis in several parts of the city. He intends to employ women instructors. “I feel that most parents will agree with me,” he said, "that their children should be taught to swim as a precaution against accident. I find that this can be done at small expense to the city, and that swimming lessons may be made & regular feature of recreation work.” Viebahn said a shallow wading pool would be constructed in Fall creek near the playground that has been established on park property between College avenue and Central avenue. The pool will be roped off to prevent children from getting Into deep water. A woman instructor will be employed to supervise this feature of the children’s play and also to give the small children swimming lessons. The commissioner added Uiat a similar plan would be followed at the South Delaware street and the Ringold street swimming pqols. On days when the pools are opened exclusively for girls, women swimming Instructors will be in charge to each the children. ASK HABEAS CORPUS WRIT.

[Special to The Indianapolis News] BROWNSTOWN, Ind., July 14.—A shed deported on the banks of the east fork of White river, in Jackson county, during the flood in -March, 1913, has become famous throughout this part of the state ns the "crazy house.” The peculiar angles of its floors and walls are such that few persons can walk through it without a distinct dizziness, and many persons susceptible to dizziness have been so affected that they have fallen. Several women have fainted in attempting to inspect the interior of the building. The "crazy house” is a two-room shed. The flooded river picked it from its original foundations and, turning it completely around, jammed it against a tree, where it was held until the water subsided. As the flood receded the house settled and was twisted into its peculiar position. All that summer it stood without attracting much attention, but a few persons entered it and discovered the peculiar influence its position exerted. The following summer it became known throughout the county as the "crazy house," and last summer people began coming from neighboring counties to. see It. An ice cream stand was built near it, and the owner had a good business. Two architects from Chicago inspected the "crazy house” last summer, hoping to be able to reproduce it in summer amusement parks. The fame of the building has spread this year, and it is believed many persons will set it, many automobiles already have visited it The woman who owns it has received many offers to buy the small piece of ground on which it stands from persons who wished to advertise the ’’crazy house” and charge an admission to it; but she has refused to see it, and will not charge an admission herself In the pictures something of the dizzying effect of the place can be seen. The men are standing without the aid of any supports in the interior, and at the left of the picture is a phimb line from the rafters.
