FLAMINGO TO BE EXHIBITED UNTIL SUNDAY Refueling Plane Also to Be Shown at Hoosier Airport This Week. The Indianapolis Flamingo, forced down early today after a vain at- , tempt to cono.uer fog and mist, will j be placed on exhibition at Hoosier airport until after Sunday, Bob. Shank, Hoosier airport president, | said today. The Flamingo and the Travel Air refueling plane will be left in their j present condition, and platforms will j be constructed so the public may view the interior of the two planes. | Major K Leßoy Muller today ex- ; pre.-~:d aporeciation of efforts of local citizens to help keep the Fla- i mingo aloft Wednesday night. Park Lights Were Aid Realizing the plight of the pilots, j forced to fly low because of the fog, i management oi Broad Ripple and J Riverside amusement parks, unasked, turned on lights all over the ; park to guide the fliers. Towers and smokestacks of the Prest-O-Lite Storage Battery plant and the Marion county infirmary, as well as several others, were lighted throughout the night. Hoosier airport flood lights also served as a guide. Members of the ground crew, worn out from their n'ght-long vigil, took turns ail morning answering hundreds of telephone calls from anxious citizens, who missed the sound of the Flamingo's motor. City Disappointed Disappointment w f as expressed by each caller. No one was more disappointed than the wives of the fliers, but they were happy to have their husbands back safe. In addition to the wives Mrs. R. H. Peck. Lima, 0., mother of Lieutenant Peck, who came here to be near her son during the flight, was among those who anxiously kept in touch with the-airport during the night. The mother made her first airplane flight Tuesday in order she might wave a greeting to Lieutenant Peck. TANGLEWOOD INN AT RAVENSWOOD RAIDED Women Arrested on Liquor Charge After Refusal to Close. The Tanglewood inn tangled with the town board of Ravenswood, with the result that today Misses Fern Butler and Betty Aubrey, operators of the inn, face blind tiger charges, following a raid Wednesday night by deputy sheriffs.

Wednesday night members of the town board called the sheriff’s office. A raid resulted in the arrest of the two women and confiscation of onehalf gallon of alleged alcohol and an outfit for making beer, officers report.

TREASURE HUNTERS
Trash Yields Odd Collection
After sorting paper from a city’s wastebasket for eight hours, Marie Danic, 19, of 2832 West St. Clair street; Anna Barton, 18, of 3536 West Eleventh street, and their teacher, Mrs. Mary Coboll, left to right in the upper photo, look like this. But while hunting for gewgaws during a workday they appear as in the lower photo. BY ARCH STEINEL BEAUTY is as beauty does —but not always. In fact, this axiom does a somersault In Indianapolis and finds feminine pulchritude in a room in the National Paper Stock Company’s building, in the rear of 330 West Michigan street, where one-third of the city's trash is sorted. Amid grimy newspapers and discarded magazines, girls who work sorting that trash pick up their lipsticks where they find them—and make good use of those lipsticks. They may look like housemaids at their job of sorting the 150,000 pounds of paper that daily go through their hands, but when quitting time comes, the refuse of the city’s wastebaskets is forgotten for that
“heavy date tonight with Eddie.” And the “Eddies”—are they proud of their sorting “sweeties”? Well, they should be, for as a moving elevator carries piles of paper trash and boxes past their “girl friends,” hands deftly search—for maybe a Christmas gift of hosiery for “Eddie.” Sure and they find those hose —and more, too. Money, cosmestics, and sometimes, dresses, that have been forgotten or castoff by householders. Take Mrs. Mary Coboll, of 159 Geisendorff street. For twenty years, her hands have riffled the city’s waste paper as one thumbs a deck of cards and she has found as high as $lO at a time in the bales of waste. Age only has dimmed her eyes for some of the articles that slip by her—for she no longer bothers about the lost lipsticks. She leaves those for the younger ones. It is “finders-keepers” for the paper sorters unless the company receives a call to look for certain lost merchandise. A visitor to the sorting room may hear a cry, “Get that Jack Mulhall for me, Mamie,” and Jack Mulhall is got. The “getting” consists of snatching a photo of their favorite movie star from the trash that rolls down the chute. So it goes! Magazines, combs and toilet articles are caught on the fly. They are cached until the whistle blows and then sometimes are used to make that “heavy date” unload a bit of lovetalk because of the beauty aids
