Aviation AIRPLANE WITH GREATER SPEED IS PERFECTED Ship. Designed to Decrease Wind Resistance, Now Being Built. Bv Tyited Pr <••• WASHINGTON. March 4.—A new rype of airplane, having no fusilage n the conventional sense, and known as the "flying wing,” has perfected by the Northrop Aircraft. Corporation, at Burbank. Cal. Greater and flying efficiency is compared with the standard type of airplane, are claimed for it. This revolutionary ship is a metal monoplane. It carries two passe n--crs, measures thirty feet from wing ip to wing tip and twenty feet from nose to tail. It is powered with a 70-horsepower motor which drives a propeller operated behind the trailing edge of the wing between two streamlined cantilever outriggers that carry the tall surface behind and above the wing itself. Designed to lessen the wind retanre regarded as a “necessary evil” of flying, the new plane has landing wheels which can be retracted In flight, while the propeller, of “pusher” type, is said not to interfere with the smooth flow of air over the wing.

“FLAVOR THE FOOD!” URGE DOCTORS No Need for Wholesome Foods to be Unpalatable Doctors are not as severe regarding diet as they are often charged with being. To be sure they insist that wholesome foods be eaten and emphatically advocate a balanced diet. But they do not oppose making foods palatable. In flavoring vegetables, or modifying the sharpness of certain fruits, doctors and dietitians recommend the use of sugar. A dash of sugar on cereal is also permitted. Such use of sugar increases the value of the wholesome, body-build-ing nutrients in the food thus favored. A dash of sugar to a pinch of salt a popular rule to follow in seasoning peas, carrots, spinach, and string beans. It is surprising how the sugar in this mixture maintains the delicious flavor these vegetables have when fresh-picked. These suggestions regarding sugar apply to children's diet as well as adults’. Good food promotes health. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institute. —Advertisement.

GETTING DIFFERENT IDEAS ON THURSTON

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IN telling you about Howard Thurston and his daughter Jane, I have asked three different people for their ideas. I in the past have had boys and girls tell you about this man and his magic. This time I give you the adult mind, three of ’em, and they seem to agree that Thurston this year has his greatest show. As far as I am concerned, his new feature event, making a girl vanish in mid air right over your heads, is the best piece of sensationalism that Thurston has given the stage. He could make an elephant vanish if he wanted to. That I am sure. And I asked Carlos Lane about Thurston and he told me:

“The supernatural, a tasteful morsel for human psychology since Moses turned a desert rock into first-class plumbing, was dished up in goodly portions Monday night at

English’s, and with Thurston as boss chef, prornises to be the reigning attraction on the city’s amusement menu the remainder of the week. “Many of the master’s old tricks were reminders that vision is a poor second to the hand, but his new illusions convinces the majority of the audience, including the writer, that the eye not

; only is slow, but altogether untrustworthy. “Suspension of one damsel in thin air, sawing another in halves, and the fourth dimension brought on an epidemic of fingernail chewing, but the Iasia illusion, the disaapperance of a girl above the audience, and the evaporation of an automobile, with seven other young ladies, in a few puffs of smoke, almost proved that common sense is no more reliable than the stock market. “Iasia vanished, "there were but two places she could have gone, but if I can persuade myself that she was in either spot, then it's true that I didn't put a hand in my hippocket coming out of the theater to reassure myself that two crinkly dollar bills and a bootlegger’s address still were mine.” And I asked Connell Turpen about Thurston and he told me: "A woman disappears above the heads of the audience. And next a Whippet full of girls disappears from the stage. All this happens when a gun is fired, which is held in the hands of Thurston. “Here is a magician who not only mystifies, but also entertains. His great popularity with the people who attend his performances, proves this. You know, when I see Thurston I feel like a kid again. I have only seen him twice, but this time was just as interesting as the first and more. I wonder at the feats of magic he performs, but that is all I can do. just wonder. “The feat or performance I wonder about most is the “Sawing Through a Woman." To me this is his best and most mystifying. It also appears to be the most popular with the audience, who request it. “His daughter Jane appearing with him. also turns her hand to magic, and with good success; but I find that while Thurston is far more nimble with his hands. Jane is nimble with her feet, when she dances. “The entire show is entertaining and wrapped in magic. Any one never having seen Thurston, should not miss this show of wonders. Especially the children. “I enjoyed the entire program.

ologist of the Purdue university botany department. “In spraying and dusting plants to kill diseases, gardeners should remember to follow- directions closely. Otherwise the treatment may kill the plant,” Gregory said. Principles of landscape gardening will be discussed at 7:30 tonight by Professor C. L. Burkholder of the Purdue university department of horticulture. Questions on lawns, landscaping and plant diseases will be answered by institute leaders by arrangement with the office of Clarence Henry, Marion county agricultural agent. Tire institute ends Wednesday.

and left the theater wondering and I am still wondering.” And I asked Frank Hilgemeier about Thurston and he told me: “It was the woman in the cage that got me going. The fact that it was a positive puzzle had me. I have no idea what happened to her. She could not hide in the draperies because there was not enough room. You are mystified. You can’t tell where she could go. I don’t know. “The next big puzzle was the triple escape. Tto my way of thinking this was just as much a mystery as anything. “And all I can say—How can she get there and why? I don’t know. When a magician can do a stunt like making a woman evaporate or what you want to call it. in mid air, then I am willing to state that it has me guessing and worried. “I was as much mystified as any 10-year-old child in the theater. I know just as much about what hapoened as the average person in the audience. And I know nothing.” At English’s all week. # # # TELLING YOU ABOUT REAL DRAMA Not because The Times published the story of “The Lost Zeppelin” that I tell you that it is corking good theater. It is a wow. I mean by a “wow” that this movie with words, sound and even temperature (and I nearly froze to death in my own imagination when the ship crashed in the ice at the south pole) took me back to those grand old days when melodrama was melodrama and how. “The Lost Zeppelin” gets a rather society start with Conway Tearle as the commander of the ship and his wife, played by Virginia Valli, become all - mixed up in a domestic fight. Tearle finds out that his wife loves a fellow officer of the expedition to the south pole and that paves the way to the tragedy of self-sacrifice when the ship crashes near the south pole in the ice. You see and hear Ricardo Cortez as the man who thinks that he loves another man’s wife so much that he can take her away when the divorce court acts. It is not the rather nice and polite handling of this situation which makes this movie great theater. It is the way that the director has built up his suspense. Here is the best mechanical melodrama I have ever heard on the sound screen. To me it is as perfect melodrama as the stage ever has given us and miles ahead of it. “The Lost Zeppelin” is the best thrill bet we have had in months in this town. Not because The Times published this story that I tell you this is great entertainment. The picture stands on its own feet. See it and be thrilled. The bill is rounded out by the vaudeville and other screen events. At the Lyric all week.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

IE LOSSES TO BE OPEN FORUM SPEECH TOPiC Fleming to Make Talk at Chamber of Commerce on Friday. Indianapolis citizens interested in fire losses in the city and prevention of future high loss are expected to hear T. Alfred Fleming, supervisor, conservation department. National Board of Fire Underwriters, in an open forum meeting at the Chamber of Commerce at noon Friday, according to Joseph W. Stickney, chairman of the chamber's fire prevention committee. The Times recently aroused business men and private citizens of the city by a series of stories alleging inefficiency of members of the city fire department largely was responsible for some of the heavy fire losses of the past year. “You undoubtedly have been reading in the daily presk and hearing discussed in business circles the excessive fire loss wnlch has occurred in this city during the last year,” Stlckney’s announcement of Fleming’s speech declares. “Damage to property has been partially replaced by insurance, but the loss in unemployment, interruption of production, and other resources is total and no salvage.” "Our public protection has been criticised and defended. Our properly constituted authorities are doing all in their power to correct bad conditions that may exist. But only the property owner can effectively prevent this economic loss, so disastrous to a community.”

It's a Game By Science Service WASHINGTON, March 4.— To Cobh and Oslo add Istanbul, Gelibolu and Ankara. The Turkish government has announced its official ways of spelling many names of cities and other geographic features, according to advices received here by the United States Geographic board. And they add to the strangeness of the postwar map, agreeing not at all with the names that once were used in the geographies. Constantinople, the Greek name chosen by the Roman emperor who built the city centuries ago, becomes Istanbul. Gallipoli, the scene of one of the most epic struggles in the history of warfare, is re-spelled Gelibolu. Angora, seat of the present Turkish government, henceforth will be known as Ankara.
