HUNDREDS OF METEORS TO THRONG SKIES August Excellent Month for interested Amateur Astronomers. TIMES TO GATHER LISTS Late Hours Required for Sport: Authority to Collect Data, By Seif nee Service With the coming of August, thousands of amateur astronomers in all parts of the United States now are watching the night skies for meteors, or shooting stars. By making careful records of what they see. without the aid of telescopes or even opera glasses, they are gathering data that will enable scientists to learn more of the behavior of these celestial visitors. Meteor observation is one branch of astronomy that does not require sn observatory. A pair of reasonably keen eyes, a willingness to sit up a good part of the night, and a clear, dark sky are the only essentials. These reports are being received and studied by professor Charles P. Oliver, director of the Flower Observatory of the University of Pennsylvania. in Philadelphia. He is one of the leading meteor authorities of the world. 1 l<i 4 Best Honrs Meteor gazing is a sport that requires late huors. for the earth turns in such a way that, after midnight the meteors come towards the earth, while before midnight they have to catch tip with the earth. The result is that from 1:00 to 4:00 a. m. are the best hours of the chase. Even ir the earlier hours during August, if a. person gets away from the brilliant light of a large city and watches the sky, several meteors probably will be seen m the course of an hour. And after midnight, a dozen or more might reward the searcher on any August night. „ But on two particular nights these numbers will be enormously increased. On Ihe nights of Aug. 10 end 11, or really the early mornings of Aug. 11 and 12. several hundred an hour usually may be seen. It is the paths that the shooting stars take in the sky, however, that form the astronomer’s most valuable data. One way of plotting these is to have a map of the sky, and, with the aid of a small flashlight, to mark down the paths with a pencil. Radiate From Perseus

As the meteors all move through tire stars in a straight line, is only necessary to notice where the trail begins and ends, then to mark these points on the map and to connect them with the aid of a ruler. Each path should be numbered and the number, with the time that particular meteor occurred, should ire listed on a separate sheet. When the August meteors are charted in this way. it is found that they do not dash about the sky at random, like members of a swarm of bees. All the straight lines drawn on the map will be seen to radiate from a very smalll area, a place in the constellation of Perseus. This is a group of stars that rises above the northeastern horizon about midnight at this time of the year. Remember, there is no use trying to observe from a big city, sc get out into the country, away from the bright lights, and where you have a clear view of the northeastern horizon. Start observing about midnight. if it is clear. As the moon is at first quartr on the 12th, it sets at midnight, and the sky is dark. Have a small flashlight handy to see the map. but it had better be covered with several thicknesses of tissue paper. Otherwise the brilliant glare of the light may temporarily blind you to a faint meteor. Send Lists to Times As soon as you see a meteor notice its path in the sky. You can do this most easily by holding a. ruler at arm's length, parallel to the meteor’s path, and sighting along it. Then, with the aid of the flashlight, draw its path on the map. Number it. and on a separate sheet note the time and brightness. You can judge its brightness as compared with nearby stars. If you can not chart the meteors, simply count them. On a piece of paper lav out a series of spaces, marked 12. 12:30 to 1, etc. Every time you see a meteor during these times make a check, then you can count up totals later. And then, when the two nights are over, do not forget that you mus. send your records in to the scientists, together with an accurate statement of the place from which you observed the meteors, in order that they may be of use. Send them to the Meteor Editor of The Times and they will be forwarded to Professor Charles P. Oliver. NEGROES MOB OFFICER Twenty Policemen Called to Aid in Arrest. Mrs. Irene Filmore. 27, Negro. 2302 Yandes street, today was under arrest on blind tiger carges, accused of secreting two quarts of liquor in her home during a police raid Sunday. Twenty police were called to protect Patrolman Thomas Naumsek from a mob of Negroes who sought to prevent Mrs. Filmore's arrest. Seven men were arrested on charges of interfering with an officer and congregating.

14 VIOLENT DEATHS REPORTED IN STATE

Jail Breaker Held Again By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Aug. 5. With a record of having broken out of jails at Anderson and Alexandria, Everett L. Wilkinson. 23, is a prisoner in the Wayne county jail here. He was caught when he returned from a store he robbed to exchange a pair of shoes for some that would fit better.

810 MONUMENT OFFERED CITY Pioneer Woman Memorial on Delaware Planned. City officials today considered a proposal to erect a forty-foot monument to the “Pioneer Woman of Indiana,” in connection with a plaza on the north approach of the Delaware street bridge over Fall creek. The city is planning to buy the two-block tract to build an adequate approach and beautify the remainder. A plan submitted by Mrs. John N. Carey, chairman of a group of women interested in the project, has submitted plans drawn by Durr Freedly, a New York architect. The plans call for a monument and fountain in Delaware street, dividing the traffic to the various arteries. Center tracts would be beautified by the park board. The monument would be donated if the city accepts the plan. Mayor L. Erf Slack, who has had several conferences with promoters of the project, turned the plans over to City Engineer A. H. Moore for recommendations.

3 BRIDGES PLANNED $86,000 Bond Issue Asked of City Council. Request for an $86,000 bond issue for construction of three bridges and placing city Gamew 7 ell wires in underground conduits was sent to city council today. An ordinance asking transfer of $3,000 from the contingency fund to the city utilities fund was to be introduced. The money will tie used to pay .salaries of the city utilities trustees and directors and security bonds for the utility district officials. City Engineer A. H. Moore plans to build new bridges over the canal at Walnut street and Pleasant run at Ritter avenue and repair the Spruce street span over Pleasant run. Overhead Game well wires will be removed on East Washington street from Noble to Arlington street, and Virginia avenue from South to Shelby streets, and Bird from New York to Twenty-fifth streets. 'CHUTE JUMPER THRILLS Narrowly Escapes When Parachute Fails to Open. Miss Ethel Pritchett today thanked her lucky stars she had another parachute left when one failed to open in her balloon and “chute” race with Loral Starkey Sunday afternoon at Riverside. Each girl was to cut three parachutes on the way to earth, but Miss Pritchett's second “chute” failed to open, and she was dropped several hundred feet, before she could cut it away and open the third. Miss Pritchett furnished the crowd another thrill when her deflated balloon, falling rapidly, scraped her parachute.

ENGLISH AVENUE WILL BE IMPROVED

Recheck of Tax Duplicate to Allow Cost of Paving, The board of works will proceed with the improvement of English avenue between Southeastern avenue and Brookville road, since a recheck of the tax duplicate shows the valuation of property will permit the assessment. City Engineer A. H. Moore said today. The city’s plan to pave the eight-een-fcot center strip which has been needed in the southeast section for severeal years has been tied up temporarily by litigation. The court decided in favor of the city, holding the resolution legal. It was found that the contract price of $79,000 for the improvement was more than 50 per cent of $112,000, estimated appraised value of property. The law prohibits an improvement costing more than 50 per cent of the appraised value of property along the street. Low Bidder Reports Error Moore ordered the appraised value rechecked after J. N. Morgan. low bidder, reported an error of about SBO,OOO in the estimate of Sherman Hendricks, assistant engineer, who made up the resolution. Moore showed that a recheck showed the property value will be sufficient to “stand the cost.” Christian park property will be included In the appraised value on advice of the legal department. The new appraised value is $201,000. Morgan is not in the group of contractors who were reported to have bought out the Marion County Construction Company. English avenue paving has been a “bone of contention” among material men and contractors, the concrete interests charging the •specifications were closed to “concrete.” There was a pre-determi-nation to improve the strip with "freezeout” for concrete, the concrete interests contended. Moore Recommends Asphalt The specifications provided for paving with any of five materials, including concrete, the eighteen foot center strip which was left unpaved for street car tracks when the improvement was made several years ago by the county. The plans called

for burning of the present asphalt surface on the outside strips . and building it up to a. level of the. center pavement. Property owners petitioned for a concrete pavement. but. City Engineer Moore recommended that it was “impractical from an engineering standpoint to use concrete.” Moore said he will recommend an asphaltic concrete center which costs about $2,000 more than concrete. Moore explained that the proposal to lay a four-inch concrete top on the strips, removing the present-asphalt surface, was not advisable, because the present base is irregular and it. would not make use of the present asphalt, top. Moore admitted that “there was no chance for concrete” on the outer strips under the specifications. Sidewalks will be constructed after the street is graded, Moore promised. Property owners petitioned for sidewalks last. March, LEAVES $40,000 Son and Daughter of Widow Share Inheritance. Mrs. Mary L.

Real Aristocracy Gathers at Famous Resort for Races, BY MARIAN HALE NFA Service Writer S' ARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Aug. ft s.—The annual races here are j like nothing in the world so much ! as a millionaire's de luxe “county | fair.” | Whereas ordinary country folk i meet in rural districts every sutgi- ! mer to buy, sell and discuss the j problems of cows, sheep, pigs and | other lowly bipeds, aristocratic gentlemen and ladies of wealth foregather here from all parts of America to see the nation's best j blueblooded horses in action and to ! buy, sell and discuss them. While the usual racetrack throng j always is present, there is no mistaking the aristocracy of Saratoga’s j leading figures. New 7 York's social I gates may have been crashed until ] the traditional “400” is nearer 4.000, but the names that still count here are those that rang the social register before there was one—the Vanderbilts, the Belmonts, the Whitneys, the Phipps, the Wideners, the Marshall Fields, the Charles Amorys and a few others.

FLOOD WORK IN 1835 UNLIKELY City Near Limit of Bonding Under Small Levy,* Smith. Remster, Hornbrook and Smith, bond attorneys, today advised City Controller Sterling R. Holt any flood prevention bond issue next year will be disapproved by the bond law 7 firm if the flood prevention tax levy is not raised to 3 cents. The opinion pointed out the city practically has absorbed all of the bonding power under the 1.5 cent rate for 1929 and it will be necessary to boost the levy if the city expects to issue further flood prevention bonds in 1930. The Slack administration asked a 2.5 cent levy of council. City Engineer A. H. Moore said no major flood prevention projects are contemplated next year. The only would be the widening of Fall creek from Meridian to College avenue, which would cast about $70,000. The Fall creek proposal is not urgent, Moore said.

BID BAN ADDS $19,000 COST TO SCHOOLS Specifications Formed for Shipp’s Ventilating Equipment, TAXPAYERS HARD HIT State Board of Health Is Responsible for Adding to Burden. BY BEN STERN Swinging the iron club of ventilating regulations the state board of health has forced an additional 519.000 cost for school construction upon the Wayne township taxpayers. The small school at. Bridgeport, and additions to two other small schools in the tow nship, which were to have cost $112,000, instead will require $131,000 for construction. Despite the approval of the state board of accounts. Charles Byfleld, architect, for the schools was forced to include the ventilating requirements, declared unnecessary, in the specifications, because of the mandate of the board of health, whose secretary. Dr. William F. King, told Emsley Johnson, attorney for the Wayne township school trustee, that •although I don't, like C. C Shipp, his- ventilating equipment is excellent.” and insisted that automatic controls be installed in the building. Similar remarks were made to Johnson and Byfield by H. H. Condrey. accountant for the health board, w ho declared time after time that automatic thermostatic regulation must be used.

Specifications Turned Down Members of the township advisory committee. Dr. Edward Pedlow, Charles Davidson and Joseph Harbisorh also insisted that the ventilating specifications be included. - According to Johnson, on one occasion Harbison asked. “Have the specifications got those things in them?” “What things?” Johnson asked. “Those things the, board of health wants,” was the rejoinder. “What are those things?” Johnson again asked. “Oh. those heating and ventilating things.” The original specificaitons provided for ventilating equipment, but the specifications, although having the full approval of the state board of health, were so worded that neither Johnson nor Vestal Davis, school trustee, would accept them. This wording, which pleased the board of health, however violated the state rule regarding competitive bidding in sense if not in actual words, Johnson contends. The specifications provided for wall boxes to be equipped with “individual fresh air damper controls.” This piece of equipment, at the time of the writing of the specifications, Shipp alone manufactured. The original specifications ended with the following:

Pretense of Or**n Competition “All as manufactured by C. C. Shipp and Company, patentees of Indianapolis, Ind., prices for which are on file in the office of the architect, together with contracts of C. C. Shipp & Cos., for the benefit of all bidders and contractors, a duplicate of which is filed with the Indiana state board of accounts and the Indiana state board of health.” And to keep up a pretense of open competition the paragraph ends with the saving w 7 ords: “Or their equal in quality, function and efficiency.” It was this paragraph that decided Johnson and Davis against the ventilating system—for this spelled additional cost. But when the health board insisted the equipment must be used or the schools not be built, Davis and Johnson gave in and instructed the engineer J. M. Ftotz, to include ventilating specifications, but so worded, that open and competitive bidding would be asured. During the writing of the new heating and ventilating specifications an advisory board member, Dr. Pedlow. brought type-written specification sheets to both Rotz and Byfield which would have given Shipp again the edge. Johnson de-c-ares. The new 7 specifications do not confine to any one type of ventilation —but they mean additional cost to the schools. ROAD PAVING OPPOSED Taxpayers’ Association Files Remonstrance on Work. Indiana Taxpayer's Association members today filed remonstrances with Harry Dunn, county auditor, against improvement of Holt road, from Washington to Morris streets and East Thirty-eighth street from Eastern to Emerson avenues. Dunn will certify the remonstrances to the tax board. The road improvements are objected to as being excessive. The Thirtyeighth street construction cost totals $39,300 and the Holt road $25,600.
