Industrial enterprises naturally gravitate to centers best suited for profitable operations. The diversified character of Indianapolis industry and the steadiness of its growth os a manufacturing city furnish evidence that the city has an abundance of natural and commercial advantages. Manufacturers are Interested chiefly in the accessibility of raw materials, cheap basic fuel, fair and intelligent labor, housing conditions and railroad distribution. The city fortunate enough to offer all these attractions to Industry Is rare Indent Few cities In the Unite! States approach perfection In these matters more KloMly then does Indianapolis. Situated ■Ut the heart of the richest agricultural [district of America and near to the counHRr‘. steel and mint-al supplies, Indi■prapolls leaves little to be desired under |tte head of raw materials. -The center of population of the United States lies Just sooth of Indianapolis and Sixty millions of people live within s twenty-four-hour ride of the city. Hence distribution facilities are excellent. Indlanapolls has six trunk lines of steam railroads, operating sixteen branches, and four trunk lines of electric railroads, aperafllng fourteen branches.

The diversity of activities is assurance against local money stringency. The city's power of resistance against hard times is Ita best recommendation. Industries here have ehowa constant Erowth over a period of years. The rise f th. motor car bualness brought the nearest approach to a boom the city has ever known, and the motor Industry here, While it grew with startling rapidity, ■ever has been on a sound and stable ■foundation, amply financed and wisely [conducted. [here prepared fob [temporary setback. The temporary aetback given to the automotive business by the readjustment period following the war found Indianapolis manufacturers prepared. Prosperu. years had built up reserve funds and l.ng-headed policies had resulted in thorough understanding of the sort of retrenchment necessary.

The conservative, but determined end energetic spirit of the city, combined with It* diversity of activity and its many natural advantages in the industrial field, Is the best Insurance against misfortune that a citizen amy expect of He home town.

Society Tom-Toms Herald Gay Season for Washington Dust Flies, Family Plate Burnished in Preparation for Gala Events During Arms Parley.

•WASHINGTON, Oct. B—Unless all signs fail the coming winter In going to w’tness the greatest social season Washington has ever had. Houses long boarded up are having their blinders removed ; the dust is being chased from corners and crevices long dark, the family plate Is getting the attention of housemaids and butlers, and already the best of the social tom-toms can be* heard reverberating through the rarlflcd air of the upper and most exclusive realms. Stomachers, dog-collars and ropes of pearls are being hauled out of the safe-deposit valuta, where they have so long reposed. It’s going to be a great winter. Washington has been socially starved for some six or eight years now. Not since the advent of the Wilsons, back In 1013, has there been any social life in Washington worthy of the name. Not any, at least, comparable to the “good old days” of former Administrations. Mrs. Wilson was not socially inclined, neither was the President, and, to help them out, the war in Europe came along before their Administration was many months old and put the taboo on extensive entertaining. WII.SOX REGIME QUIET. In 1915 the President put his foot down on social life and pointed out that, in view of the thousands that were dying dally on the battlefields of France

and the universal mouring all over Europe, It 111-behooved Washington to lend Itself to lavish display. Then America entered th* war and killed off what little social life had managed to survive the White House edict. It was hoped in many quarters that Washington would get back In the whirl after the war, but President Wilson's long absences and later illnesses prevented It. So the dowagers and “cavedwellers” boarded up their Imposing residences, sent their Jewels to safekeeping and hied away to Bar Harbor, , New York, Hot Springs, Palm Beach, Deauville and other places, leaving the I national capital flat. And now the sun Is beginning to peep once more over the social horizon. The Wilsons are gone, the Hardings are in, the war is over; there'are still odds and ends of war fortunes that have survived the attacks of the profiteers, and, what is more Important than all, Washington Is going to be the capital of the world for a time this winter, with the assem- | bllng here of the International confer- : once on armament and Far Eastern affairs. LIVELY SEASON AHEAD. The conference Is going to be Just as big in most respects as that at Paris, and much bigger in other respects.

caused untold suffering will not be hang-, lng over Washington as It hung over Baris. The world's leading statesmen are going to D ehere. with their retinues of aides,' assistants, secretaries and associates. They must be entertained. They cannot be allowed to return to Europe with the Impression that Washington Is a backwoods hamlet on the edge of the prairies. And the dowagers will see to It. j There Is, however, one large fly In the j social swim. This will be the first real social season that Washington has ever undertaken In the absence of the familiar cocktail, highball and champagne. There are stocks reposing in many dusty cellars, It Is true, but they are not extensive, and they are regarded as almost as precious as madame's dog-collar. A great deal of reliance In overcoming this handicap Is being placed In the forlgn visitors and the foreigners already here. The embassies and legations can get It shipped In under diplomatic permits from the State Department. It Is a pleasant thing to have a friend in an embassy. Also It Is anticipated that the

Sani Equipment Wherever Food or / Drink Is Served Porcelain Enamel Will Last a Lifetime There are three reasons for a successful food and drink establishment. First —location. Second—equipment. Third —quality of food and drink. The first reason needs no explanation. The second reason—equipment—is right now of vital importance to ever} 7 proprietor. The time is past when you can “get by” with old-fashioned, dirty, dilapidated equipment. Your customers and your competitors’ customers are being educated to clean, sanitary equipment. The proprietor who is far-sighted will install Sani Equipment and have the “edge.” What are you going to do! When You Buy Fixtures Make a Permanent Investment Old-fashioned wooden equipment is fast becoming obsolete. SaniMetal, which consists of fine grained east-iron, heavily coated with porcelain enamel, makes an ideal base for tables and stools. You can’t afford to have your customers soiling their clothes by coming in contact with greasy table legs. Besides being easy to clean, Sam-Metal presents a permanent finish that is not affected by moisture. Table bases and stools of thig nature will look just as well ten years later as the day they were installed. It costs you money to buy temporary fixtures —why not buy for permanence ?

Professor Michelson will seek to learn if there Is relative motion between the earth and Its surrounding ether. To do this, he will send light beams about a rotating globe. If they return to the starting point at the same time, there Is
