This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. Isaiah 43:21. Indianapolis Day rIE city of Indianapolis is not only celebrating today, but it is taking stock. Those who have business with any of us please come around some other day. Today, with our family and most of our neighbors, we intend to spend the biggest part of our time at the State Fairground getting acquainted with each other, finding out what Indianapolis has been accomplishing and getting ourselves so thoroughly sold on this old town that we can sell anybody who comes within our hearing. "We have an attractive, well improved and splendidly progressive city to live in and all of ns who do live here should know more about it and be able to tell others more. Unfortunately we never consciously set about doing that unless a Chamber of Commerce official or some patriotic citizen suggests it. We venture to say there are quite a number of east side residents who haven’t been on the west side in the last dozen years and equally as many south siders or north siders who haven’t been on the east side. All of them together could tell an outsider very little about Indianapolis. It’s a great thing for a city to hpve something’to celebrate about. Indianapolis has it in abundant quantity. But it is even more important that all citizens should realize that their city really has something to tell the world about and find out just what that something is. That is what Indianapolis is finding out today. It’s a fine idea. Renters’ Paradise JUST think of renting a house with electric lights, bathroom, running water and open fireplace and modern in every respect, for $2 a month per room. Think of it I It’s not being done in Indianapolis, but it’s pleasant to contemplate. They are renting specially built houses at that low rental to miners employed by the Raleigh-Wyoming Coal Company of West Virginia. In the beautiful mountains, bungalows have been erected by the company to house their miners’ families. These are rented to the employes of the mining company at a flat rate of $2 a month for each room. Haley Fiske, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a few days ago turned the first shovelful of earth for anew $6,000,000 building project at Long Island City, a suburb of New York, where rent will be $9 a month per room. These two projects fill a need. Something along the same idea doubtless would be welcomed in Indianapolis. Kidding the Home Folks TWO weeks ago the President of the United States summoned members of the House of Representatives to meet at Washing to cope with the national crisis. One week ago politicians of both parties gave the country to understand these statesmen and patriots had responded to the President’s call. But not so. When President Harding made his earnest appeal in his personally delivered message to Congress he did not address a roll call quorum of either house. He addressed a sort of mass meeting—without much mass. Yesterday for the first time since the President’s appeal a bare quorum of one more than half showed in the House on roll call. Congress is kidding the public when it says it has been or is doing anything in Washington to avert public suffering from lack of coal next December. L T p to yesterday’s miserable showing it has appeared that a quorum of Congress is “back home” doing what it can to avert private suffering from lack of votes next November. Without a legal quorum at every day’s roll call the present “emergency session” is a farce, a hoax on the public and an affront to the President of the United States.

Q. —What Is natural cement? How Is It prepared? Portland cement? A. —Natural cement Is the product obtained at a low temperature a natural limestone without pulverization or admixture of other materials, and finely grinding the clinkers. The process of manufacture consists in mining and quarrying this limestone breaking it into lumps the size of one’s hand, calcining these lumps with coal in kilns, and finally crushing and grinding the clinkers. Portland cement is the product obtained by calcining to incipient vitrification an intimate artificial admixture of properly proportioned calcareous and argillaceous raw materials, and finally grinding the clinkers. Q. —How may a covering for a haystack be made waterproof? A.—Take any coase fabric, steep it for a few hours in a strong aqueous solution of alum, dry, and coat the upper surface with a thin covering of tar. Q. —How may stoves be kept from rusting during the summer? A.—Apply kerosene with a cloth. Q. —What is the best way to clean black silk? A.—Brush and wipe it thoroughly, lay on the table with the side Intended to show up; sponge with hot coffee strained through muslin; when partly dry iron. Q. —How does one find the circumferance of a circle? A.—Multiply the diameter by 3.1416. Q. —What is the recipe for Hungarian fruit roll? A. —Make a pie dough. Roll out and spread with melted butter, raisins, currants, chopped apples, nuts, and shredded citron. Cover well with brown sugar and sprinkle cinnamon and the grated peel of a lemon. Roll up the dough. Lay in

a buttered baking pan. Rub the -op well with melted butter and let bake until brown. Serve with a sauce. Q- —On what day of the week did Aug. 11, 1895, come? July 4, 1901? A.—Aug. 11, 1895, came on Sunday; July 4, 1901, on Thursday. Q. —What does "Vox populi vox Del" mean? A.—l he voice of the people is the voice of God. Q- —Are blue laws and blue sky laws the same? A.—No. Blue laws is a term applied to certain Puritan enactments, particularly in Connecticut, concerned with Sabbath breaking and other matters now generally left to the conscience of the individual. The term is now generally applied to any stringent laws of religious or moral force. Blue sky laws are those which regulate the issue and sale of stocks and bonds, and designed to prevent the promotion of fraudulent mining, oil and other enterprises, which usually thrive by the sale of stocks in small denominations to the ignorant and unwary of small means. Kansas passed the first law of this kind in' 1911. Q —How is an amendment to the Constitution ratified? A—This may be done in either of two ways. If in three-fourths of the States majorities in both branches ol the Legislature vote to ratify an amendment, proposed by Congress, it is adopted and becomes a part of the Constitution. And this is the way in which all of the emendments have so far been ratified. But instead of sending a proposed amendment to the State Legislatures for ratifleatian Congress may direct that a convention shall be called in each State, to consider the amendment, and if three-fourths of these State conventions vote to ratify it, the amendment is adopted.

(Editor's Note—This is the second and last article dealijier with the scandalous conditions existing In the patent office In Washington.) By LEO R. SACK, Times Stuff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Uncle Sam is making a neat profit out of his Patent Office, but is giving very poor service to the people in exchange for their money, it is admitted here. Though the citizen is kept waiting some fourteen months for a definite answer as to whether his idea can be patented, the United Stares Patent Office has turned into the Treasury a total of $8,528,519.45 net earnings. Earnings last year alone netted the Government $163,552.85. It Is for Congress to provide the necessary help.

Look for Yourself John Doe Company receives by way of answer: "Patent numbers so and so covt • automobile accessories of the nature you describe. payment of 10 cents for copies of all patents on this subject, you can look for yourself." Assistant Commissioner Carl Fleming points out another difficulty: "A non-fireproof building and wooden filing cabinets containing original records of every American patent make the Patent Office a literal fire trap These 1,500.000 records of every inventive endeavor could never be replaced.’’ Rut Congressional regulations prohibit patent officials employing their surplus earnings to cure these evil3.

NEFARIOUS Odors of Ditch in Garfield Park Annoy Citizens. To the Editor of The Times Garfield Park Is generally regarded as the beauty spot of Indianapolis and, in my opinion, it outrivals anything In the Middle West. To the eye it has countless appeals; likewise to the nose, but In a different way. If something isn't dona to clean out the ditch which runs through It the place will turn out to be Indianapolis' eyesore. There Is scarcely a more nefarious, ill-smelling and sickening ditch to bo found anywhere In this part of the country. Not only to visitors but to the neighbors who are forced to live In smelling distance. Is the place wretched—all on account of a dirty little ditch. ONE WHO IS THERE. To the Editor of The Times A serious accident occurred on Keystone Ave., Saturday night In the center of one of the bridges, all because the toad way was narrowed at the time it was built. An eighteenfoot road, ordinarily no more than sufficient to allow two automobiles to meet, has been narrowed considerably at the approaches to each of two bridges, apparently because the contractor wanted to save a little money. Moreover, pedestrians, and there are many, have to use the same bridge. One of these bridges Is a wooden, covered structure, and ought to be removed out of respect for the time it has served. The other ought to be removed out of "respect" to the man who built it. DANGEROUS.

American Inventor Forecasts Cinema Will Become Strong Educational Force

Ry NBA Service BERLIN, Aug. 22. —Immense strides in education by revolutionary methods of talking movies are predicted by Dr. Lee De Forest, American Inventor, who has just given a public demonstration of his phonofllm. De Forest, who has been conducting experiments here on his device, which photographs sound as well as pictures on the same film simultaneously, will take his invention to America in September. Dr. De Forest, pioneer in development of-wireless telegraphy; holder of 120 United States and foreign patents on radio telegraphy and telephony, including the "Audion,” which made possible transcontinental wire and wireless telephone service, says: “Education provides a limitless field for talking motion pictures, entirely aside from the possibilities of film operas, musical skits and vaudeville, scenic films, animated cartoons, news topics and captions. “The value of the present silent film for education is sadly limited because lacking an intelligent accompanying description as the film proceeds, it is apt to degenerate into merely a pastime for the pupils. Film lectures are possible with talking movies on all sorts of subjects—languages, history, geography, physics and geology. Will Effect Saving In Time “With the talking film as an aid to education immense saving of time can be effected; Just as now in one evening we can grasp the entire story of a standard novel, which formerly required weeks to finish. "However, I am not advocating literature or the careful study thereof. But in most branches of learning It. is not the language of the text books

Government Reorganization Proposal Encounters Innumerable Obstacles

By ROBERT J. BESDER United Scics Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—The Government reorganization, held by the Administration to be its greatest achievement, but long delayed by congressional opposition and press of other business, may yet be put through. President Harding believes the plan is in no wise surrendered, but the situation in Congress at present would not admit of its consideration. However, once the industrial situation improves and the tariff bill is disposed of, the White House, it 13 said, may be expected to revive the enterprise. The plan, as approved by Cabinet members, has been ready for incorporation Into a reorganization bill since last spring, but the legislative jam, the coal strike and later the rail tie-up, sidetracked the work.

AERO-MARINE RADIO MAKES ADVENT

Automatic Relay Facilitates Radio Service Beyond Equator

By PAUL P. tIODLET America’s Foremost Radio Authority. It has been known for many years that it is much easier to receive radio signals coming from the north and south than those from east and west. No great difficulty was therefore expected in connecting New York and London with Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. But radio’s ever-present enemy—static—broke In and necessitated a change in the original plans.

REACHING SOUTH AMERICAN POINTS FROM LONDON OR NEW YORK BY WAY OF CAPE FRIO. American engineers interested in establishing a South American radio service began making some preliminary surveys in 1916 and 1917. They found that signals webe unreadable during the greater part of the twentyfour hours on account of static. After the war a second group of engineers went down and continued the experiments. Their findings confirmed those of the first expedition.

Walter Brown of the Joint congressional committee, that phase of it having to do with the possible trans fer of the Forestry Service, from the Department of Agriculture to the Interior, created a controversy which threatened to Involve Secretaries Wallace and Fall with the possibility of one or the other's resigning. Recalls I'inchot Affair Partisans of Wallace contended the i Forestry Service was first and last an j agricultural service. Partisans of Fall contended the service was first : and last that of the public domain and therefore the business of the land office leaders of the farm bloc are said to have assured the President at the same time that they would never vote for the reorganizaI tion scheme if the Forestry Service was taken out of Secretary Wallace’s hands. The controversy recalled the Ballinger-Pinchot fight.

But the demands for a, radio communication service to South American, British. French and German radio interests pooled their efforts during the past year and selected H. 11. Beverage, an American engineer, to make final determinations concerning -the practicability of such a service. lie has Just returned to report that direct communication between Rio do Janeiro and London or New York is still impracticable. Nevertheless direct communication is to be had If Beverage's scheme of operation is put into effect. Establishing an experimental station on Capo Frio, seventy-five miles east of Rio de Janeiro, he found conditions exceptionally favorable. Using the most modern directive receivers he found it possible to record reliable signals from both America and Europe during the great part of the day and night. To get direct communication with the great cities in the southern part of the continent. Beverage proposes the establishment of two groups of stations on Capo Frio. One group will be the high-power combination for communication with Europe and America operating on wave lengths of the order of 15,000 meters. The second group of comparatively low power will operate on wave lengths of 6,000 meters, giving connection with cities to the south. The plan now is to have this relay an automatic one. The signal coming into Cape Frio from London or New York will operate a relay which in turn will effect the re transmission of the signal to Rio or Buenos Aires. A north bound signal will operate in the reverse manner. This is the first comprehensive attempt to utilize automatic relays in commercial radio work. If successful, It may mean that radio connections are to be ’'plugged through" in the same way that land line telephone connections are now handled.

Under the reorganization plan, those features of the Forestry Service having to do with the public domain ' were to go to the land office in the j Interior Department, but those havI lng to do purely with agriculture were to remain in the Department of Agriculture. A further obstacle, it is said, was placed in the way by dry leaders In Congress who opposed the transfer of Commissioner Haynes and the prohibition unit to the Department of Justice instead of the Treasury Department as at present, but the reorganization scheme did not contemplate such a change. Despite this organized opposition by farm bloc members and drys, the Administration hopes yet to "place the Government on a business basis” through reorganization of Departments with an attendant saving of ■millions of dollars.

GERMAN GLIDER RECORD IS BOON TO AERONAUTICS Major Robins of Wright Field Says Flight Approaches Miraculous. PREDICTS GREAT FUTURE * Aviator Declares Air Mastery Depends on Close Study of Natural Flyers. By United Press DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 22.—The record smashing flight of Herr Hentzen, who remained in the air two hours and ten seconds in a German glider, is of "greatest significance to the future of aviation,” Maj. A. W. Robins, commandant of Wilbur Wright field told the United Press here today. Major Robins is considered one of the greatest authorities on aviation in the army air service of miraculous,” flight is little short of miraculous,” the major said. “A man's ability to stay in the air in a glider depends upon his knowledge of the air curjents,” Major Robins continued. ‘‘Birds that soar in the air maintain their altitude because of the Instinct that enables them to take advantage of these air currents. Air Currents Important "If it is possible for man to familiarize himself with these current* there seems no reason why & glider cannot maintain an altitude and even climb. | “In the German's flight, It is probable, of course, that he had a wonderful day and that the air currents were just right for gliding. I do believe, however, that the time will come when a man flying a motorlesa plane can take the air and remain up for even a greater length of time than was recorded by Hentzen.”

People of every age are liable to the disease, but 90 per cent of the deaths occur among children under 10. The cause of scarlet fever is obscure. There is no known preventive, \ like vaccination. There is no special treatment that will combat it effecj tively. The first symptoms are nausea, sor throat, headache, backache and high fever, the patient often becoming delirious. These symptoms, with the exception of nausea, continue until the fourth day. The rash appears first In the mouth and throat. Soon it spreads to the neck and chest, then to the hands and feet, and by the third or fourth day it has covered the entire body. This rash, which is a congestion of the blood vessels, is In the skin, not on the surface. It subsides after the seventh or eighth day and the peeling process begins, covering an addi-* tlonal period .of ten days. Because of the danger of resulting complications the treatment of the patient during and after illness can not be too careful. Contagion lies in the sneezing and coughing rather than in the scales or peelings, as is commonly supposed. The body discharges must be disposed of wisely.
