CIVIC CENTER ADVOCATED BY ORENI S. HACK Corporation Counsel Urges Development for City of Million. Development of a downtown district as a “civic center,” to prepare for the city’s 1,000,000 population thirty years hence was adpocated today by Corporation Counsel Oren S. Hack. All municipal and county buildings would be combined on a centrally located site. Growth of the city in the next quarter century will make necessary new and more adequate public buildings. The project should not be undertaken by the Slack administration, but the citizens should be thinking of the future needs of Indianapolis, Hack pointed out. Hack believes that the Tomlinson hall block would be the ideal location for a civic center. The north half of the block could be purchased and a neyv multiple-story structure erected. “The present courthouse is indequate and will need to be replaced in a few years as the city grows. The south half of the courthouse square should be sold for business purposes and the money used to build the city-county building,” Hack said. “For severa. years the police station has been inadequate. We’ll have to build anew one in the next twenty-five years. Anew city

market house will be necessary in ten years. Then we will need a better public meeting place and additional courts. “All these projects will cost the citizens a large sum. I think the public should begin to think about it and prepare to keep pace with the city’s strides,” he said. “The present city hall is too small and we’ll have to have room for expansion before long. All these buildings and offices should be combined in a huge structure. Los Angeles and other cities have come to this plan. “When I came to Indianapolis thirty years ago the population was 169,000. In the next thirty years I can see that it will reach 1,000,000 and the municipality should begin to get ready for that time,” Hack said. Hack originally proposed building a municipal center on the Tomlinson hall site when he was a member of the coliseum board at the beginning of the slack administration. The board contemplated purchase

Tag-along was teaching Daisy how to guard homes when he disappeared. Daisy turns up her nose at food and mourns for her lost teacher.

of an expensive downtown site for a $3,000,000 coliseum. Mayor L. Ert Slack delayed the project indefinitely. The Tomlinson hall site, originally granted for murket purposes, could be used for other purposes by authorization of the legislature, Hack said. Sanitary experts- differ as to whether a market should be included as a part of a modern municipal structure, he declared. TWO DEAD IN WRECK Express and Freight Trains Collide in California.

EAT BIG CHUNKS OF SUNSHINE AT SCIENCEDINNER Showgirl's Blush Measured; Music Is Created Out .of Light. By United Press NEW YORK, March I.—Sunshine, large chunks of it, was served on the half-shell last night at the annual science dinner of the American Institute. When the 1,000 guests seated themselves, they were told that the first course would be irradiated yeast, which is nothing more or less than sunshine. After dinner they saw the latest tricks that science has developed —a tiny flame converted its heat into magnetic force capable of lifting a man into the air; a camera that took pictures in three dimenA Full Coverage Automobile Policy at Low 7th Floor Occidental Bldg.

The demonstration was in the nature of a “scientific revue” with the acts following in rapid succession. A tiny machine in one corner of the room developed 500,009 volts and shattered radium atoms; the lenard tube, w'hich makes solids out of gases, worked with precision. Then Irmise Johnson, a show girl, blushed for tb audience and the scientists swiftly measured the degrees of heat generated by the blush. John Bellamy Taylor, consulting engineer of the General Electric company, demonstrated how to make music out of light.

A beam of light swung around the darkened ballroom. Suddenly it fell across a narrow mirror on s the wall and the light broke into music. The process, known as “narrowcasting,” works by starting phonograph records with the light beams. The music can be regulated by increasing or decreasing the volume of the light beam.
