An brtereetlRg atory, telling of some of the experience* of Howard Manmon. of Indianapolis, and other members of the American aviation commission on their visit to automobile and airplane factories in Italy. Is printed in the August 22 issue of the Automobile and Automotive Industries The story, which was sent from Paris and dated August I, follows: "Howard Marmon. Herbert Hughes and the various military members of the American aviation commission returned to Parts this week after a detailed visit go the Italian automobile and airplane factories, followed by a few days on on* of the moat interesting portions of the Italian front. "At the Fra neo-Italian frontier station 1 the commission wa* met by a group of ] car* sent by the Fiat company and carI ried direct to the Fiat factory at Turin. 1 This feeing the biggest factory in Eoi rope, with lS/«0 work people and an output. of seventy-one trucks a day, la addition to airplanes, airplane motors and other war material, a considerable amount of time waa spent there. Courtesies Appreciated. "The Flat directors threw their entire factory open to the visitors and placed all the latent daia and experimental work at the disposal of the technical members of the commisaion. Howard Marmon voiced the appreciation of the commusalon at the generous manner In which the Italian authorities and technical experts entered into co-operation with them, and the eagerness which was shown to let the American delegates profit by all their knowledge and experience. Other factories in Turin, notably the Spa, were visited, followed by a trip to the airplane and automobile establlshments at Milan. “In addition to being given all details of structure and design, the commission had demonstrations of the practical work accomplished by airplanes both alngly and in fleets, To demonstrate the conditions of aerial com hats, a considerable amount of trick flying was done with all kinds of machines Several pilots, with three or more • passengers aboard, and waterpooled engines, looped the loop continuously for several minutes, thus showing that this class of work Is not confined to light scout machines with air-cooled motor*. Pilot Surprises the Commission. "While one of the pilots wag flying on his back at 1,600 meters his machine caught Are. For 1,000 meters the machine noee dived to the ground ! n a Mazing condition, and when it disappeared the commission had the conviction that the pilot could neither pull out of the nose dive nor escape from the burning ma*s. An hour later, however, the pilot Joined the commission at dinner, absolutely unhurt. "At one town the commission was given a demonstration of how the aerial defenses operated. While on a hight overlooking the city, warning of an enemy attack was given. Within three minutes all the antt-alrcraft batteries were manned, and in less than ten minutes several squadrons of fast Nleuport scout machines w'ere seen In the air, ■pening out in battle formation to go in search of the supposed enemy.

"Friend after friend departs,” walled the lachrymose singer, and now in tearful harmony with this sad refrain let ma chronicle the departure of the ancient four story triangular arrangement of bricks and mortar at Washington street and Kentucky avenue. It was buflt by James Blake, over sixty year* ago and for years and year* was known as Blake’s Commercial Row. The letters proclaim mg this name were in evidence, nestled close to the
cornice atfffae Washington street end of Unger’s shop purchasers of the fragrant
weed; and farther up the street was a
the triangle, even until the day when the ruthless hand of progress tore away the wall that had sheltered them for nearly three score and ten years. But It was not known by the name of the Commercial Row except in its earlier existence. Since the . first years of HflO until a comparatively short time ago it wa* known as the Boot Upside Down, which hung out from the comer over a shoe store as the most prominent sign to be found in the entire length of Washington street.
Favor of the Public.
It had, to be sure, sign rivals along the street but none of them ever achieved the notice and the favor of the public as did this mammoth representation of footwear. Diagonally across the way at M West Washington street at an early day was a tinware and stove store conducted by Weakly & Norwfxid—E. F. Norwood, the junior of the
the ruddiest vermilion. And the painter. you may call him an artist, who had the refreshing of this boot was envied of all his fellow-craftsmen in the city.
A Pictorial Interest.
It should be said in Justice to some of the merchants of forty years ago that there were some signs along Washington street which, while by no means in competition with the great \ boot, gave to the thoroughfare a pictorial interest it has long since lost. Some of us may yet remember the wooden Indian who invited by b's mere ! presence- at the door of John Held
wrj»oa—r. -^orwooo, me junior 01 me : „„ » wo firm, is yet living, far advanced in the | are „ but , eighties—which nought to attract at- * ■
tention by a coffeepot six or seven feet high., erected on the summit of a post, but all eye* passed it by to gaze on the boot upside down, and tbougB the tinmen were tempted to double the size of the coffeepot, they felt the attempt to withdraw attention from the great rival over the way would be bootless. Along Washington street east of Illinois street were other signs, none of which could meet favor in the public
eye like that of the Brobdlngnag boot. There was before a drug store, at the apex of a towering post, a huge mortar and pestle in what appeared to be shinoing gold, but really was only copper gilt; and another drug store had as a sign a stack of kegs, one above another, diminishing In size as they towered skyward; and, a queensware house had long lines of dishes attached to its front, but all theae were as nothing compared with the proud supremacy of
the great boot. -
The boot was always kept In fine condition. Once a year at least a painter was called to give It a rich, shining coat of black and to set at the top, or rather at the bottom of the sign, for it was always upside down, a great, square of
t^the front by airplane, passing act os*
Italy in its greatest width. Fleet of Bombing Machines.
‘‘■While at the front, and on Austrian territory, the comtnislon watched the departure of bomb-dropping airships. On another occasion they were informed that a big fleet of airplanes would cross over the lines at 9:30 p. m. on a raiding expedition over enemy territory. At ex-
; and farther up the street was a brawny Highlander and on the site of j what is now the Indiana Trust building i was Charley Hunt’s Turk, cross-legged j and smoking a long pipe, a narghile at '
least.
In the corner of the Boot Upside Down building, even before the B. U- D. : was placed in its commanding position, wa* a bank, the Metropolitan Bank, which was really merely a broker's of- * flee and did an amazing business in the days of “wildcat" currency. The Young Men's Christian Association had its beginning in Blake s Commercial Row. This beginning was modest enough. There was little more of it than a read -, Ing room on one of the upper floors. This room was only open in the evening! and Granville M. Ballard, in 1S55. had! charge of it- Mr. Ballard is yet lirtng. i Many moving scenes in the strange, eventful history of Indianapolis have ' taken place in the shadow of the big boot. It looked out, if a boot, particu- • larly if an upside down boot can look ;

"While at the front all the members of the American commission were presented to th* king of Italy, and were invited by him to a dinner served on captured territory in full sight of the
Austrian trenches. .
"Howard Marmon spoke enthusiastically of the fine automobile service maintained by the Italian army in the field, as well as of the various fine motors for airplane service he was able to examine in the fleW and in the experimental departments of the various factories. Of the 104 mechanics brought over by Mr. Marmon, forty are In England and the remainder In various French factories.

on the south aide of the Bate* house. There was a Democratic parade that night and one of the grand .marshals was a well-known character of that time. Caj In Jeremiah O’Leary. The captain was mounted on a white horse that made him more prominent than waa compatible with hia safety. So when a few shots were fired the captain on his white steed disappeared down Kentucky avenue with a speed that the morning Journal of that day declared had nevgr up to that hour been equaled In any equine performance. When Shota Were Fired. "When the shots were fired everybody earnestly desired to get into safety so It would not be fair to twit tie captain with precipitancy. Hundreds, some say thousands, found refuge in the Boot Upside Down block. They sVarmed up the stairways to every floor, some even going out on the roof. At that time there was a drainage trench leading across Washington street from the Bates house to the entrance to Kentucky avenue. We may smile today at such an embellishment do our chief business street, but the city was small then and some things were scarcely deemed necessary for the comfort and well-being of the frugal citizens who were more captious about the tax levy than we are today. On that eventful night when the firing began, one of the banner bearers of that memorable procession had taken himself out of range by crouching down at the south end of this plank covered ditch. He was there with a transparency in hand, in safety as he thought from all attacks. While thinking these pleasant thoughts a crowd of 100 or more, stampeded by the firing, ran along the planks of this covered ditch and plunged down on the concealed patriot, going through his transparency as the circus lady goes through the paper hoops. It is recorded that this person, with a yell of horror and despair as he untangled himself from numerous legs and arms, fled into outer darkness and though inquired after by the papers of that time, was never heard of -after. Misunderstanding With Court Captain O’Leary was the proprietor of an Illinois street saloon that bore the dazzling title of "The Brilliant.” He had political influence and was not at all a bad fellow, as he was open handed and generous to a high degree. But in some way he came to have a miaunderstanding with the criminal court, perhaps It was a contempt for that court, and by order of that punctilious tribunal he was clapped into the county jail. It was while in that prison that he gave voice to a sapient sentiment that has endured almost to the prAent day. A number of friends had called at the jail to see the captain and condole with him over his ill fortune. As he stood behind the bars, he addressed the visitors: “I wish I were a bur-rid: how quick I would fly out of dls." A4 the captain weighed somewhere near 260 pounds, the bird metaphor waa somewhat incongruous. Blake’s Commercial Row. the .Boot Upside Down, is to give place to a modern hotel several stories high.

Mrs. Lillian Thomas Fox, Long Correspondent of The News, Dies
of Heart Disease.
Mrs. Lillian Thomas Fox, one of the best known colored women in the city, and for fourteen years a correspondent for The Indianapolis News, died at noon today at the home of Mrs. Florence Wayne at 784 West Twenty-fifth street. Death was caused by heart disease, resulting from a severe paralytic stroke,
which she suffered last week.
Mrs. Fox was born in Chicago, 111., seventy years ago and spent her early life in Oshkosh. Wis. Her father, Byrd Parker, was pastor of the Quinn chapel church of Chicago, and her mother was one of the first colored teachers in the Indianapolis schools. Mrs. Fox came to Indianapolis in 1881 and lived here the
remainder of her life. .
She was prominently identified with all welfare work among the colored people of the city, and was the organizer of the State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs about twelve years ago. At that time she was elected honorary president of the federation and served in that capacity for some years. She also organized and was the first president of the Colored Women s Improvement Club and was an active member of the organization at the time of her death. She had been in falling health for the last six years, but continued her news-paper-work until about three years ago. The funeral arrangements have not been
completed.
