Aultman’s introductory speech follows: “Mr. Chairman, fellow citizens, fellow Legionnaires and friends: “This is a memorable day for the State of Indiana and the city of Indianapolis. It is a memorable day for the American Legion and its national headquarters. Sacrifices Consecrated “It is peculiarly fitting that, upon the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we should hgre Jay the corner stone of the stately edifice to commemorate and consecrate the sacrifice of those sons of Indiana who laid down their lives in the World War in the same cause of liberty and human rights for which our forefathers fought and suffered during the birth of our Nation. “The patriots of the Revolution struggled to the end that there might be on this earth one country in which the inalienable rights of man would be established. “Those who made the supreme sacrifice in the great holocaust of the World War struggled to the end that those rights should be maintained and extended in the interest of universal peace and happiness. Inspiration Made Complete "And, in order that the inspiration of the occasion may be complete, that it may be transmitted to coming generations, after all those who lived and participated in that titanic struggle have passed to the great beyond, that love of country, love of liberty and the spirit of sacrifice for the preservation of our ideals may not die, but may carry on as the guiding motives of our national life, it is even more fitting that the solemnity of the occasion should be increased by the presence of the great figure of that momentous period of our national existence, that the youth of the future' when they in the coming years stand before this magnificent memorial, shall say, “He stood here, he was present when this monument was erected,” and go away impressed and inspired with greater love of the country that we bequeath to them and of its institutions. “He is here. The great commander who led our legions across the sea to victory is present among us. He has* come to us at a personal sacrifice, responding to the call of duty ever has inspired him. Without him the ceremony of laying this corner stone would be incomplete. Deeds Pari of History “In presenting him, any eulogy on my part would be superfluous, for he is a national figure and his name is a household word. His deeds are a part'of our history and will be handed down through the ages until time shall be no more and the memory of human deeds forgotten. “You know him, and to hear his words, today will not only make this occasion more impressive, but will give to each of us a memory and an inspiration that long will remain to urge us to higher thoughts and better deeds. “I take great pleasure in presenting to you the man who led our troops to victory in the World War, the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, and the General of the Armies of the United States, Gen. John J. Pcr3hing.” SON SLAIN; FATHER HELD ■ Elder Man a Prisoner at Evansville After Shooting.

Akron Notifies Nation Every Time City Bathes

Waterworks Hourly Broadcasts Consumption of Water. Bn XEA Service AKRON, Ohio, July 4.—When this city takes its Saturday night bath the fact is broadcast to the world. The city waterworks department maintains an automatic radio broadcasting station. It is at the city reservoir where excess water from municipal mains collects. Every hour the station goes into action and transmits the water level in the reservoir. Signals indicating the level are picked up at the main pumping station at Kent, Ohio, fourteen miles away. In this way, constant check is kept on the consumption of some 20,000,000 gallons of water a day. Works Automatically The sending and receiving sets of the system are turned on at five minutes to each hour by clockoperated switches. At the broadcasting end, relays operated by a master clock start a motor which rotates a series of hard rubber disks. Each disk bears on its edge a series of raised places and depressions which combine to form the signal for a particular water level. The automatic system has been in 37 ESSAYS OrT CITYENTERED Real Estate Board Reports Interest in Contest.

operation nearly two years and has not failed once. Its cost was less than SSOO, and its maintenance is almost negligible. Result of Survey Before its installation, surveys were made to determine the feasibility of placing a private telephone line or an electrical signal system along the water line right-of-way. Such an installation would have cost nearly $20,000. So William A. Manfrass, electrical engineer at the Kent Station, offered to build the radio broadcasting and receiving stations. He completed the work for a trifle the cost of an underground phone line. The broadcasting station operates on a United States amateur license, on a wave length of 175 meters. Its call is 8-OIC.

Here's What the Judge Said!

Tom laughed at Cyclone Insurance for automobiles. “Those storms never come here, why waste my money like that?” But one terrifying* nig*ht the winds struck —lifted his car, turned it over and smashed it against a Sympathize with him, yes—but what about you? Do you have Cyclone Insurance? Would you be protected? Dick jeered at Collision Insurance. “None of that for me, never had an accident in my life.” But one black, rainy night, a rushing, swerving car approached with blinding headlights. His skill saved him from a fatal smash, but only by a desperate turn that sent him into

the ditch and damaged his car. Hard luck, yes—but what about you? Do you have Collision Insurance? , Would you be protected?

“S4O a month for five years,” was the court’s sentence. Five years of savings lost because the defendant had scoffed at automobile insurance. “I haven’t any property anyway,” he had said. “If I get into trouble, let ’em sue.” His turn came—a fatal accident, a widow and her family destitute, a heavy damge suit. But the outcome was far different from what he had expected. The judge ordered him to pay S4O a month for the next five years, because he had no available assets. Sorry for him, yes—but what about you? Do you have Personal Liability Insurance? Would you be protected?

Harry scorned Property Damage Insurance as a needless waste of money. “Let the other fellow watch out for himself, I'll take care of myself.” But a pedestrian stepped thoughtlessly into his path. Harry jammed on his brakes, missed him—but skidded helplessly into another machine and damaged it badly. Costly repairs to make. Not his fault, perhaps—but what about you? Do you have Property Damage Insurance? Would you be protected? OLD TRAILS gives this complete protection at a minimum cost. Its provisions for Personal Liability, Property Damage, Collision and Cyclone protection as well as the old standbys, Fire and Theft, are absolutely clear

CITY GETS BIG BITEOTMELON Semi-Annual Dividends Pour In to Share Holders. With Indianapolis receiving her share of the $550,000,000 semi-an-nual melon cut by more than 700 concerns in the United States July 1, city investment houses expect a brisk increase in securities sales this week. Local banks were busy cashing dividend checks and coupons the last two days of last week. The harvest will continue this week, since some large firms declaring mid-year dividends did not make them available to stockholders until this week.

dend-declaring periods in history, the national figure last year at the same time being estimated at under half a billion dollars. Another factor lndicatin ? that the last half-year was unusually prosperous for stockholders was that many companies now pay dividends quarterly, which cuts down the July figure. This was offset somewhat by a volume of new securities. BALLOON SETS RECORD Speed of 100 Miles an Hour Hit by Race Contestant. Bu United Press ROME. July 4.—The balloon.
