Hoovers Choose Church

•vxJRg

This tiny brick church, without choir or organ, has been* chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover as their regular place of worship after March 1. It is the meeting house of the orthodox Friends’ congregation in Washington. It was selected in preference to a Hicksite meeting house because in the Hicksite church there is no pastor and religious services are conducted by persons in the congregation. It was feared that “cranks” might use this as a means of reaching the President’s ear. The clergyman in the President’s church will be the Rev. Augustus T. Murray of Palo Alto, Cal., a life-long friend of the Hoovers.

HOOVER MAPS PLANS President’s Ship Is Half Way to Virginia. By United Press Aboard U. S. S. UTAH. Dec. 31. President Herbert Hoover was at work today, mapping out the material which he wishes to place before President Coolidge when they confer in Washington.

The South American coastal waters were left behind Sunday when the Utah steered through the more remote islands of the West Indies. The ship passed east of Barbados. Fireman Called to Own Home B ii Times Special WARSAW, Ind.. Dec. 31.—Harold Bhepler, truck driver in the local fire department, responded to an alarm, found his own home afire.

| BIG WATER APPLIANCE FIRMS MAY MERGE Combined Worth of Patents Estimated at Twenty Millions. By Times Special CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Twelve of the largest water appliance companies in the country go into a consolidation Monday under the name of Water Appliance Corporation of America. The combined worth of American and foreign patents are estimated to be worth in excess of $20,000,000. Under the consolidation general offices will be established in Chicago or New York. The main factory for the present is in Los Angeles, and the combined manufacture of the companies’ products will be carried under the one roof. Many of the companies are located in the west, and it is most probable that the factory will continue to operate there. The following companies are the ones merged: Revigator Water Jar Company of Chicago; Dow-Herri-man Pump and Machinery Company of Petaluma, Cal.; Mineralator Company of San Francisco; Revigorette Corporation of Chicago; Soft Water Stone Company of San Francisco; Drink-O-Meter Company of Los Angeles; Wolf Patent Drip Company of San Francisco; Standard Health Cup Company of San Francisco; Revig-A-Chick Company of Los Angeles; Fastidious Company of New York; Block Charcoal Filter Company of Eldorado Springs, Mo., and the Radium Therapy Corporation of New York. DOCTOR ATTACKED BY MYSTERIOUS MALADY Discoverer of Pellagra Cure Is Seriously 111. B >i Science. Sercice WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—A mysterious disease, said to be a form of anemia, has attacked Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the United States Public Health Service, who is seriously ill at the naval hospital here. Dr. Goldberger is the dis- j coverer of the cause and cure of j pellagra, hard-times scourge of the j south. Anemia, from which Dr. Gold- j berger is suffering, is a deficienc of j blood or of the red blood cells or of I hemoglobin, which gives blood its ! color. Twenty fellow physicians of j the public health service here have had samples of their blood matched with that of Dr. Goldberger. Those whose blood is of the same type or group will give it for transfusions. When taken ill, Dr. Goldberger was searching for additional foods that contain the pellagra-preventive factor.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BIG ADVANCES BY EXPLORERS IN LAST YEAR Many World Mysteries Are Cleared Up by 1928 Expeditions. Bp Science Service NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Explorations in the polar regions migrations, exploitations of new resources and new engineering works marked the 1928 progress of geography, according to a survey of the past year prepared by the American Geographical Society at the request of Science Service. An eighteen-months survey of navigation conditions in Hudson bay and strait w T ith icebreakers, freighters and airplanes was made in connection with work on Canada’s new grain railway to Churchill, Manitoba. Radio directionfinding stations are under construction at strategic points. The airplane came Into more general use for topographic and mineral reconnaissance work, as in the Canadian northwest and along the Zambezi river in Africa, and detailed studies of small areas, such as that of Rio de Janeiro. Open Pyrenees Railway Although the complete plan for controlling the flood waters of th?. Mississippi river still is to be de termined, work at certain points actually was commenced. The Colorado river board reported on Black canyon as the site for the proposed irrigation and power dam, and the Swing-Johnson bill was enacted into law. • Organized settlements on a large scale were established by the British in Bolivia, the Japanese in Brazil and the Mennonites in Paraguay. Asa barrier to transportation, the Pyrenees were made much less effective by the opening of the Can-franc-Somport railway. Continued studies on yellow fever and sleeping sickness were carried out by American -nstitutions and the governments of the Africa!' colonies afflicted. The Firestone plantations in Liberia, an example of organized exploitation of a tropical resource reported over 30.000 acres of rubber trees planted with 10,000 natives on the permanent pay roll. Byrd on Way to Pole Comercial development of Central Africa has ben stimulated by the completion of the CongoKatanga railway, the extension of the Benguella railroad to the Angola frontier, and the construction of the Tabora-Mwanza line in Tanganyika. The flight of Captain Sir Hubert Wilkins from Alaska to Spitzbergen j

showed the value of the airplane for high latitude transportation and the probable absence of land north of the Canadian Archipelago. Before disaster overtook the Italia on her third trip, General Nobile made a flight of exploration toward Northern Land. The University of Michigan Greenland expedition continued its study of meteorological conditions through the winter of 1927-28 as well as during the summer. The United States coaso guard cutter Marion was on an oceanographic expedition to Davis strait in connection with the study of icebergs and their relation to conditions in the north Atlantic steamer lanes. At the end of 1928, the Byrd antarctic expedition was entering Ross Sea. Aerial conquest of the south pole, mapping and other scientific observations are the aims of the expedition.
