From Our South Window Atlas supported the pillars of Heaven on his shoulders. But he was nowhere to be found when we undertook the task of supporting Meridian street and three brick buildings while we excavated the basement of our new building. So our contractor had to undertake the task by himself. If it were not for the sheet piling and the whalers (props, in common parlance) that reinforce the dirt wall on the street side of the excavation, ail of the South Meriidan street traffic would come tumbling down in our new basement. As it is the vibration from the heavy traffic makes the task of supporting the brick buildings to the south, w-est and north of the new structure unusually difficult. All three have been so securely underpinned that it is impossible for the walls to buckle. In the meantime as the great steel columns arise, we are convinced that Atlas himself could not have done a better job.

OPPOSE PARKING BAN Letters Urge Mayor to Veto Ordinance. Protest against the ordinance abolishing parking on Monument Circle on the grounds that it will aggravate the need for well located retail storerooms was made to Mayor L. Ert Slack today in a letter by Edward Barker, realtor. Declaring he has no personal or financial interest in the matter, Barker pointed out that destruction of several blocks of buildings on N. Pennsylvania St. to clear the War Memorial site already had limited the number of desirable locations. Abolishment of Circle parking would make Circle storerooms less usable, he said. Lawrence N. Helm, Norfolk & Western railroad commercial agent, also wrote protesting the ordinance. “Incidentally, as a former soldier (thirteen months overseas), I feel that I have about as much interest in the Soldiers’ and Sailors' Monument as any of the councilmen except A. F. Meurer, who likewise opposed the ordinance,” he said. Slack has ten days from last Monday to sign or veto the ordinance.

“East is East and West is West” —but they meet at the annual convention of the Pace Makers’ Club, an organization of Marmon’s outstanding salesmen, with the Southwest thrown in for good measure. Gerald E. Parmenter of San Francisco represents the western section of the country in the club membership, while E. G. De Coffe of New.Bedford, Mass., hails from the East. Robert Hogue of Houston, Texas, brings the Southwest into the picture. These men are three of the seventy-five Marmon salesmen who were in Indianapolis Thursday attending the three-day convention of the Pace Makers. The convention will continue today and Saturday at French Lick Ind., where the salesmen will be the guests of the factory. A special train carried the party to French Lick and will return Saturday.

FORMER GRAND OPERA SINGER DIES PENNILESS Joseph Martel], Peddler in Omaha, Turned Out by Legion. Hii United Press CMAHA, Neb., Aug. 24.—Joseph Me rtell, known here as “Joe, the Pf ddler,” who died penniless and alone here Thursday, was a former grand opera singer, according to information received today from Worcester, Mass., his former home. The Rev. Louis Martell, Catholic priest of Roslyn, N. Y., was a brother of the man. A sister in Worcester also survives. Martell came here in 1919 and started manufacturing and peddling cosmetics and toilet articles. He told American Legion officials he had been gassed in France. He became seriously ill a few weeks ago and was placed in St. Joseph’s Hospital. Later the bureau, unable to find his war service record, asked that he be dismissed. He then went to a lodging house. He was found unconscious Wednesday night and sent to University Hospital. Death was caused by cerebral hemorrhage. Brands “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” False Bn United Press HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 24.
