FOUNDRY DOES SCIENTIFIC JOB Great Variety of Metal in C. & G. Shops. Quality and service long ha-s been the motto of the C. and G. Foundry and Pattern Works, and the firm's aim Is to abide by It constantly. It claims among its clientel 90 per cent, of the best firms in Indianapolis using castings, with a liea'W list of out-of-town customers, who demand and appreciate both quality and service. Every job is figured scientifically, both for cost and for the kind of metal best, siuted for the use planned for the casting. Persons undertaking various types of casting metals can realize the .•Treat variety of alloys and mixtures demanded in this day of high speed production. Foundries not keeping up to date are handicapped greatly. The C. and F. foundry is confronted constantly with a request for either a tougher metal, harder metal or perhaps a very’ soft oilless bronze, and the firm prides itself on filling satisfactorily all these orders. The foundry recently has developed anew aluminum alloy with high tensile strength and remarkable qualities, which is expected to fill a great need in the automotive industry. Three foundries and a, pattern shop, employing seventy men, are operated by the company. Charles J. Girler is president and general manager.

SPEEDWAY CITY GOLF LINKS TO OPEN IN JUNE Profits From Auto Classic Turned Into Splendid New Course. Profit: from the world's greatest one-da,i industry, the Indianapolis 500-mile rare arc being turned hank by flu Indiat spoils Motor SpeedwayCorporation into a SIOO,OOO golf course in Speedway City. I lie magnificent course will be ready for play probably in June, Pm- idcnl FHHir Rickenbacker said. Nine holes of the eighteen-hole course will be located within the two and one-half-mile oval, the other nine holes outside the track, but within the 430-acre speedway tract. A number of famous golfers, including Hagen, Armour and Von Elm. have promised to take part in dedication of the course. The idea of a golf course on the speedway grounds was conceived by Captain Rickenbacker and his associates when they sought to devise some means of developing an enterprise which would make use of the ground most of the year. Rickenbacker recently announced plans to spend $1,000,000 in expanding the Allison Engineering Company. which he and associates recently purchased. Construction of new buildings on the eleven acres adjoining the present buildings in Speedway City will be started probably within a month, he said.

S'OAY WEEK GAINS Building Industry Fast Is Adopting Plan. The five-day week is making rapid progress in the building industry throughout the United States and it seems a matter of a comparatively short time before substantially the entire industry will be operating on this basis, according to a. survey just completed by S. W. Straus A; Cos. "Following its recent adoption by the 12.000 bricklayers in New York City, evidence is at hand indicating the possibility of the entire industry in the Metropolis quickly adopting the short week schedule," says the report. ‘According to C. G. Norman, chairman of the board of directors of the New York Building Trades Employers' association, the 150,000 building craftsmen in New York and immediate suburbs will be on the five-day schedule by Jan. 1. 1930. This, he estimates, will add approximately $40,000,000. or 4 per cent, to New York's annual building bill. “In Chicago. plasterers and painters are on the short week basis and in other trades the schedule will be one of the major points of discussion on new wage agreements. St. Louis comes nearer being completely on the five-day week plan than any other American city.”
