SILENT ORATOR WORKS NIGHTLY Motograph Flashes Civic and Patriotic Messages Over Five-Year Period. Throughout the O. A. R. encampment last week the motograph of the Merchants Heat and Light Company flashed out Its silent orator patriotic message, Just as it has done for five years, through peace and war. The motograph hold3 the enviable record of being the oldest machine of its kind In continuous operation, never having been out of eervlce since it was placed In position at the corner of Meridian and Washington streets July 18, 1918. During that period it has delivered messages from the President of the United States and played Its part In keeping up the patriotic spirit during the world war. Officials of the Merchants Heat and Light Company estimate that it Is read by an average of 3,500 persons nightly. “When our companuy installed the silent orator, it was not then the lnrge concern ‘t is today,” said an official of the company. Seven years ago our unnual gross revenue amounted to about $476,000 and it now amounts to the enormous sum of $3,000,000. Not content with this we are planning for still further expansion of a State-wide character, which will result In greater service, reliability to the consumer and ultimately cheaper rates for an improved service. These plans call for the merging of seven Indiana plants located tn a triangle, the points of which are Kokomo, Indianapolis and Terre Haute. “But speaking of the silent orator. One of our proudest boasts is that it never has been commercialized. Its messages have been delivered without pay and It has been thrown open to patriotic and civic movements ever since it first began to flash out Its messages more than five years ago." FIRE DAMAGES GARAGE. A story and a half frame garage was damaged by fira In the rear of O. C. Jnskllts home on East Drive. Woodruff Place, at 1 o'clock today. The loss was $5(10 The cause of the Are Is unknown.

DAMAGED PARTS EASILY REPAIRED Sheet Metal Pieces of Damaged Car Need Not Be Junked. One of the biggest mistakes motorists make Is in throwing away damaged fenders, hoods, running boards and other sheet metal parts of their machines, instead of having them repaired, is the opinion expressed by T. S. Markey, manager of the Guarantee Metal Enameling Company, 325 East St. Joseph street. “The average automo.bile owner, after his car has had a more or less disastrous collision with another machine, post or some other obstacle, looks ow the damaged parts and foolishly consigns all damaged inetal work to the dump,” Mr. Markey said. "If the owner only realized It bad dents and twists really affect the sheet metal parts of his car very little. Careful handling by expert, workmen will do wonders with these damaged parts In a very short time, and then after anew coat of enamel has been applied It often is impossible to tel! the pieces thnt ouly a short time before were candidates for the junk heap from new parts. The Item of expense is considerable, too, and this should be an added Inducement to the owner to have work of this character done. No matter how badly twisted a sheet metal part may be It can be repaired and straightened out and reenameled at a figure far below the cost of new parts. LUMBER DEMAND CONTINUES ACTIVE Little Change in Price Seen by Dealer. Indications In the retail lumber business are for a substantial autumn demand and relatively little change in price ns compared with four months ago. according to Oscar L. Huey, president of the Capitol Lumber Company. “Wo have enjoyed the largest business | In lumber thus far this y>ur In our his tory," Mr. Huey said. "The encouraging : feature of this that the great bulk o! this demand Is for lumber for home build lng purposi-s. and It has more than compensated for the falling off In demand for lumber for Industrial purposes, which has heen below normal this year. “During the past month or more upper grades of yellow pine have been moving rapidly due to the purohaVs of large amounts of this material by railroads for | siding for new freight ears. This lias I hud the effect of causing some scarcity I of yellow pine and stiffening the price. Personally, 1 believe we can look for ! higher lumber prices If the demand coni ttnues ns prices have just about lilt rock bottom." Mr. Huey said that the American Lumj heruiou reports In recent rcvt*w of condition* a steady Improvement. These Indication*, he says, point sn increase In buying which Is borne out by figures showing that in thirty three weeks ending last month production of lumber has been exceeded by orders by approximately 61.00.000 f<-ek September figures ars not yet available but It is

believed that the Increase Is continuing In force, Judged from opinions of various lumber associations and market reports. Prices, Mr. Huey said, are firmer In tendency and there has been a number of small advances. An exception to this is redwood, which has dropped iu price recently. However, the hardwood business shows a stronger tendency than it has for some time past. FAMILY COAL BIN REMAINS EMPTY Domestic Consumer Slow to Buy Winter Fuel Supply. Continued mild weather and depressed industrial conditions have resulted in a demand for coal far below normal, According to F. J. Turrell, secretary of &e Commercial Fuel Company, “If this tendency Is continued much longer," Mr. Turrel said, ’'there Is going to be one grand rush later on to get the fam'ly coal bins filled and a lot of hand to mouth buying after cold weather starts. "I do not look for any material ndvance In the price of domestic coal for some time, that Is, unless railroad transportation should become tied up as the result of a sudden cold wave. Should such a condition exist at any time a price advance might be the result.” Fluctuations In demand are noted by the Black Diamond In its weekly review of the coal situation, Mr. Turrell says, “Here and there the trade sees a brighter outlook in the situation as a result of slight improvement in Industrial conditions, with a consequent Increase in the demand for steam coal. In other markets conditions are dull with the trade looking forward to cold weather to stimulate the demand. So far, the retail consumer has shown little interest In stocking up for the winter. Where the industrial condition has not kept the householder from entering the market early, as In former years, the faint hope of some reduction in freight rates has been sufficient to make him adopt the waiting policy. “The natural result has beeu that production In the coul fields, with the exception of anthracite, has been held down and any sudden emergency would easily exhaust the eupply the dealers cow have on band." Fisher Rites to Be Held Tomorrow Henry C.

FREE CAR RIDES PLEASE YETS G. A. R. Veterans Make Use of Courtesy of Street Car Company. The number of old soldiers availing themselves of the privilege of riding on the cars of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company during the G. A. R. enrampinent ran Into the thousands, officials of the company say, although no actual figures aro available. Street car conductors on all lines reported that wide use was being made of the courtesy extended the veterans by the company. It was very noticeable that the veterans were handled splendidly by the street car conductors, and the utmost courtesy aud, consideration were given them. “We are pr<*ud of the fact that we had at our disposal facilities that could be turned over to the veterans,” an official of the street cur company said. “The three hundred streets cars we operate over nlore than one hundred sixty miles of track •were gladly jilaced at the disposal of the old soldiers. If the street car situation at Des Moineg where- the 1922 encampment of the G. A. R. will be held and w here the street car service has been abandoned because of the destructive jitney competition, Is not restored before the next eneampmeut the veterans will And a great difference In the line transportation system of Indianapolis and the haphazard one they will meet In Des Molr.es, “We have been subjected to what we consider unfair aud destructive competition right here In Indianapolis from the Jitneys and we are trying to have that condition remedied now. Conditions have been so adverse that we have been unable to make progress required by the growth of the city and that we had hoped to make when the company was reorganized two years ago. Our plan for betterment was given a severe setback at that time by the runaway coal market and the unrestrained Jitney competition. “With a change toward bettor economic conditions and the abolition of unfair competition we hope to be able on a low rate of fare’to begin rehabilitating the system a* we had planned originally.” Youngest Man in Lee’s Army Dies NEWPORT NEWS, Va , Oct 3.—W. F. Hopkhis. the youngest man to enlist In the regular service of the Confederate States of America when he became a member of the York rangers of 1.861, died at Dixie Hospital in Hampton.
