BUSINESS MEN CHOOSE YOUNG AS ‘GREATEST’ 200 Executives Studying at Harvard Place Henry Ford Second. Bu Unitrrt Press BOSTON. Aug. 9.—Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric Company and former Boston lawyer, who brought about the recent German reparations agreement, is. in the opinion of 200 prominent business executives studying at the Harvard University Institute of Business, "the greatest business man in America." The business executives, taking a summer course here, balloted Thursday night on the “one outstanding American business man." The results were: Owen D. Young. 52 votes; Henry Ford, 42: Andrew Mellon, 16; President Hoover. 10; George F. Baker. 4; J. p Morgan. 4; Alfred P. Sloan Jr., 3: Walter S. Gifford, 2; Samuel Insull. 2; Charles M. Schwab. 2; Charles G. Dawes. 1; Thomas A. Edison, 1; Colonel Peter B. Knight, 1; Matthew Brush, 1. Young's selection was based on his achievement in partly reorganizing the finances of many nations. Ford "earned” his forty-two votes because of "his far-reaching application of the new American philosophy of mass production and the consequent more even distribution of comforts and conveniences.” Mellon’s votes were cast "as a compliment for his private and public work.” while President Hoover was lauded as the first man to ‘ introduce high-class business methods and ideals in the government and politics of the United States.” The executive students agreed that the most important change to take place in American business during %he next five years will be the frequency of mergers of every type. They predicted that power units will combine their output into vast super-power projects; natural gas pipe lines will be carried eastward to the Alleghanies. railroads, airplane and bus lines will consolidate, and various types of banks will combine into “huge department stores of finance.” NEW PRINCIPAL NAMED Only One Change in Putnam High Schools. p.u Times Special GREENCASTLE.

Our Old Garbage Can Isn *t What It Used to Be

JL J % % invw4, f Jfc"

Tired of washing knives and forks? Just stamp your name on them and slip them in the garbage can. They probably will come back washed, as did the heap at the bottom of this picture of a year’s accumulation of “what have you” salvaged at the Indianapolis garbage reduction plant.

Disposal Plant Turns Out to Bea Diamond Mine and Jewelry Store. BY ELDORA FIELD “What’s become of the butter knife—and where’s all our knives j and forks?” If you must know, they probably are in company with last night’s potato peelings, bumping along in an ill-smelling trailer toward the Indianapolis garbage reduction plant. But they’ll probably come backwashed! Every month yields treasure at the reduction plant, and we’re not speaking in terms of fertilizer either. Over 3,000 pieces of silver tableware were recovered from the plant last year and returned to erstwhile owners. Hotel and restaurant owners keep in constant touch with the plant. On Aug. 5. 237 pieces of silver were returned to the Claypool. In another month the following returns were made: To Indianapolis Athletic Club, 60 pieces; White’s restaurant, 217; Craig’s confectionery, 42, with a commensurate return to other establishments. Heirlooms Found But silver is not all that is recovered. Cooking utensils, dishes and m- j numerable objects impossible to identify, constantly appear. Occasionally, a bit of jewelry, valuable keys and even family heirlooms, have arrived at the plant. Mrs. L. j Bowersmith, 1108 West Morris street, i recently recovered a valuable pin lost in the garbage. Floyd E. Baber, superintendent of

the plant and the soul of accommodation, makes every effort to search out any article that -is reported missing. Two diamond rings, one of them very valuable, have been recovered during his supervision. “Money frequently is found,” he said. “Usually it’s just small coins, but a S2O gold piece was recovered some time ago. As it was not claimed, I turned it over to the Negro who found it. He asked for a holiday.” A hand grenade and a stick of dynamite were once brought out of the refuse. “We stepped around carefully for some time after that,” x-emarked Baber. At intervals, silver tableware net identified is given away. On Oct. 12, 1928, 1,460 such pieces w r ere turned over to the city hospital and 4.270 pieces were given to the Community Fund. Extraneous objects are not all that the garbage reduction plant yields. With the installation of new machinery, the plant is extracting three valuable by-products. Aside from this, the plant is striving to solve the problem of garbage disposal from the most modern sanitation and economical standpoints and to make the process pay for the operation.

TANKER BLAST POURS BLAZING OILINHARBOR One Man Killed and Seven Injured in Explosion on Boat. Bu United Press BAYONNE, N. J., Aug. 9.—One man was killed and seven were known to have been injured in a series of explosions aboard the tanker William E. Rockefeller at Pier 6 of the Standard Oil Company today. The blasts shook Essex county, New Jersey, broke windows along the New Brighton (Staten island! water front and sent hundreds of persons to their telephones in a panic. The tanker caught fire and poured blazing oil into the Kill Von Kull. The flames spread across the Kill toward Staten island, and tugs immediately scouted through the inferno picking up the tanker’s crew members from the hissing waters. The body of the dead man was floating near the tanker. It was taken to the Bayonne morgue. Men’s Bones Broken The seven injured men, some with broken bones and all of them burned, were picked from the water, rushed ashore at St. George and New Brighton and hurried in ambulances and private cars to Staten Island hospitals. All seven jumped from the decks when the first explosion was followed by several other blasts and by belching fire in the forward hold. Fifteen minutes after the first concussion, there was a final puff and roar. Black smoke rolled in palls from the huge tanker at tugs and the New York City fireboat Zophar Mills sped to the scene. City Is Darkened The dark billows flattened out and then settled over Staten Island until it became necessary to turn on lights in the stores and homes there. The tugs, after picking up the bodies, joined the fireboat in efforts to prevent the flames spreading to the pier and adjacent vessels. They towed the tanker past the St. George ferry terminal and across the harbor to the Red Hook Flats, off Bay Ridge, while the Zophar mills continued to pour streams of water into the flaming 'hulk. Thousands of Staten Island commuters bound for Manhattan watched from municipal ferries. Thousands of other residents, their first alarm over, swarmed to the new Brighton shore to see the burn - ing ship.

Old? Huh! Bu United Press NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y„ Aug. 9. —The spirit of youth looks a little drab today after the Chamber of Commerce here received a letter from 70-year-old Mrs. Susan Grove, Baltimore, asking that the body sponsor her contemplated trip over Niagara Falls. “It would be the first thrill of my life,” writes Mrs. Grove, who has turned three score and ten. She purposes that she should make the descent in a rubber ball or a barrel.
