NEW AIR MAIL BILL MAY GUT POSTAGE RATE Congress Asked to Change Basis of Payments to Line Operators. BY JOSEPH H BAIRD t nited Ftcm /V.iatinn Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Air mail postage rates probably will be revised soon to benefit both the general public and the aviation companies. A resolution changing the compensation of air-mail carriers and providing a lower rate for the airmail patron now is before the house of representatives. It probably will be acted on during the present session of congress. The resolution is the outgrowth of a series of conferences between Postmaster General Brown and the air mail operator. It contemplates abandonment of the present poundage basis of compensation and the substitution of payment at fixed rates per mile for definite weightspace. Os Interest to the public is a section of the resolution reducing air mail postage rates from 5 cents for tile first ounce and 10 cents for each Additional ounce to 5 cents for each ounce or fraction thereof. Strong support of the bill by air transport operators is indicated by the recent favorable action of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce representing, among others, the twenty-five leading transport lines. It urged immediate and affirmative action on the resolution. Buys American Flane The little Central European country of Czecho-Slovakia recently acquired its first government-owned airplane. It is of American manufacture. Develop Signal Device WASHINGTON. Feb. 25—Ice on airplane wings, the cause of many accidents in the past, may lose much of its error with the aid of anew warning device developed here at the bureau of standards. It does not nrevent the formation of ice. but gives the pilot warning, by the shining of a red light on his instrument boa rd. when conditions are such that ice is likely to form. Then he can take proper precautions, either landing, or going into a warmer layer of air. Experiments have shown that ice forms at temperatures between 26 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit, when the airplane is flying in air that is saturated with water vapor. The instrument consists of a tempera-ture-actuated switch, operating on a battery of pocket flashlight cells. When the dangerous temperatures are reached, the red light flashes. If it is cold and dry. the pilot either can ignore its warning, or switch it off, for then there is no danger, even at the low temperatures. Chamberlin Here Clarence D. Chamberlin, transAtlantic flier, stopped in Indianapolis Sunday night, returning to New York from the St. Louis air showa He left early today in a Crescent cabin monoplane.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOARD TO VIEW PRISON AT CITY POLICE STATION Survey of Conditions Will Be Made to Relieve Bad Situation. An early inspection of the city prison at police station will be made by the board of public works to determine the needs of the jail, according to Louis Brandt, works board member. “The board will inspect the building before we decide what improvements to make,” Brandt declared. The city Jail has been in an insanitary condition for several years, but no corrective measures have been taken. Last week James A. Houck, city council finance chairman, inspected the jail and declared it “worse than a hog pen.” The former council, on Dec. 2, authorized a bond issue of $17,000 for repair of the prison and an addition, according to plans drawn by Otto Mueller, architect, who was employed by the former works board. The intent to Issue bonds has not been advertised so the bond issue has not been sold by City Dr. Albert Stanley, Dentist Plate Specialist 1107 Odd Fellow Bldg. LI. 7101

Controller Sterling R. Holt. Steps are being taken to advertise the issue. Frank B. Hunter, architect, who drew' tentative plans for a six-storv addition to police headquarters at the request of former city officials, objected to the attempt to repair i the present jail structure and rear section of the building. “The building is decadent and dilapidated,” Hunter said. “It can not be put in good condition. Indianapolis deserves a first class modern police station with adequate jail and court facilities.” Hunter’s plans for anew structure in rear of the front part of the i present police building call for an expenditure of $460,000 when com- i pleted. The project can be cut to reduce the cost or be built to take additional stories later. Hunter argues that the present i station is a “disgrace” to a city the size of Indianapolis and that money spent on repairing the present "rat infested” structure is wasted. The basement w'ould be devoted ! to garage space and a pistol range for the department. The first floor I
