SCIENTISTS TO i MIRON RATS Meet in Paris to Plan Ways to Exterminate Pest. Bn United Press PARIS, May 11.—Scientists of a score of countries are to meet here this month to devise means to exterminate the rat. This international conference is designed to take the place of the one which was to have met in Copenhagen in August, 1914, but which the war prevented. Professor Calmette, whose labors have won him the highest honors the French government and scientific institutes can bestow, estimates that the ravages caused by rats in the great ports, cities and agricultural districts of France amount to $200,000,000 a year while the cost of a seriously conducted campaign to put an end to the pests would be comparatively small. “Rats are traveling salesmen for microbes,” said Professor Calmette. Dr. Roux, the eminent scientist of the Pasteur Institute, declared that “it would be impossible to spend, for the extermination of rats, a sum equivalent to the damage they cause.” PLAN ‘WELCOME’ SIGNS Realtors Name Group to Have Highway Greetings Erected Signs probably will be erected on principal highways welcoming motorists to Indianapolis as the result of action taken by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at its luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday. The board adopted a resolution authorizing appointment of a committee to recommend erection of the signs to thq, board of directors.

Roman Is Gotham Guest

“When in New York, do as New Yorkers do in Rome,” was sound advice for Ludovico Spada Potenziani, Governor of Rome, when he landed in Gotham to return the visit paid by Mayor and Mrs. Jimmy Walker. The governor straightaway proceeded to demonstrate that he dressed as well and was as quick at repartee as the dapper Jimmy. Pictured above are the governor and his pretty daughter, Princess Miriam, who accompanied him. Below he is shown riding with New York’s mayyor in the welcome parade.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BIGGEST BRIDGE IN WORLD WILL CROSSHUDSON Structure Costing 75 Millions to Be Opened for Use in 1932. NEW YORK. May 11.—When the new Hudson Rivet bridge, connecting Ft. Washington in New York and Ft. Lee in New Jersey, is opened to traffic in 1932, it will be by far the largest bridge in existence. This distinction is now held by the Quebec cantilever bridge, with a main span of 1,800 feet. The largest existing suspension bridge is that between Philadelphia and Camden, over the Delaware river, which has a main span of 1,750 feet. The new bridge, also of suspension type, practically doubles these figures with a span of 3,500 feet between its two towers. It will have a total length of 4,800 feet. Each of the towers will be 650 feet in height—nearly as high as high as the Woolworth Building—resting on solid dock beneath the water. They will contain 80,000 pounds of structural steel, encased in reinforced concrete masonry, and will measure 40 by 160 feet at their tops—large enough to completely surround the Washington Monument. The four main cables of this super-bridge, on which will rest a load of 168,000,000 pounds, will contain 106,000 miles of steel wire, weighing 28,500 tons. There will be 26,474 individual wires of 3-16 inch diameter in each cable. These mile-long cables are being produced and will be erected at a cost of $12,339,997 by the John A. Roebling’s Sons Company of Trenton, N. J.. which firm Resigned and built the historic Brooklyn Bridge nearly a half-century ego. The roadway at the center of the

span of the new bridge will be 253 feet above the water—only twenty feet lower than the tops of the Brooklyn Bridge towers. The Hudson River bridge will be the costliest as well as the largest in the world. When completed, it will represent an expenditure of approximately $75,000,000 double the cost of the Philadelphia-Camden span. About $60,000,000 of this total will be spent before the bridge is opened. Tolls will be charged to cover interest and amortization of the necessary bond issues, and revenues are expected to exceed $4,000,000 in the firs year. Bonds to the amount of $20,000,000 have already been issued and an additional $10,000,000 has been advanced by the two State governments. The estimated volume of traffic across the new bridge in the opening year—l932—is as follows: 8,148,000 vehicles carrying 18,900,000 passengers; 500,000 busses; 1,500,000 pedestrians. When opened, the bridge will have one roadway forty feet in width, to which will later be added two twenty-four-foot roadways. As traffic increases, a second and lower deck will also be added to carry two to six lines of rapid transit tracks or vehicular roadways, or a combination of these. U. S.

This test shows in a dramatic way how slo-baking produces qualities that you are forever seeking in bread. Slo-baking seals every tiny cell and imprisons the rich, distinctive flavor. It brings out all the rare goodness imparted by extra milk content, specially selected flour, and pure shortening. But slo-baking does even more. It gives Wonder Bread a marvelous

TRY A WANT AD IN THE TIMES. THEY WILL BRING RESULTS,

Make this 3-Minute Test Cut one slice each of Wonder Bread and any other bread you choose. Get your toaster hot. Toast both slices 154 minutes on each side. Compare the rich, golden brown Wonder toast with your second slice. Wonder Bread toasts more quickly because it is better baked —slo-baked. Then break the Wonder toast. Note the new, delicate bread fragrance. Now try your other slice. Eat a bit of each. In three minutes you have proved to yourself that a bread that’s slo-baked is best. Not only for toast, bur for every purpose;

y y r texture that cuts without crumbling. It stays fresh to the last slice. Wonder Bread is wonderfully nourishing. Wise mothers give even little children all they can eat. At-your grocer’s—fresh from the ovens. Continental Baking Cos. Taggart Bakery
