SCHOOL BOARD TAKES SLAP AT CLOSED BIDDING Rejects Shipp Heating and Ventilating Systems in # j New Buildings. c. C Shipp, heating and venti.ating manufacturer, long the storm center In “closed competition’’ con- j troversies, today considered the slap 1 administered by the new citizens school committee faction of the In- i dianapolis school board. The board in special meeting late Tuesday adopted a resolution ordering the split system, as opposed to Shipp’s system, in all buildings nowproposed. The board split three to two when the resolution, presented by Mrs. Maud Miller, to use the “split” system instead of the Shipp system of heating and ventilating was discussed. Lewis E. Whiteman and Fred Kepner, members of the former board’s majority faction, opposed the others, but when the vote was taken Whiteman joined the majority, leaving Kepner to vote against the resolution. Crushing of Shipp, who manufactures direct-indirect heating and ventilatiing systems, apparently has been accomplished after many years of war between school factions. Most of these battles have been won by the majority factions favorable to Shipp. The “split” system as distin-. guished from the direct-indirect operates with heating units and ventilating units separated, instead of in one unit. Kepner and Whiteman contended that by stipulating the "split” system the board was preventing compe*itive bidding. A. B. Good, busi- i ness director, however, pointed out that separate bids would be received on units of the system, and that no manufacturer held patents on the entire system. MRS. LOLA KEENAN IS P. A.

Eagle Creek Coaling Station THE “one-tank town” becomes no object for derision when the leaky leaning tank of fiction is displaced by such a giant of concrete as straddles the two Pennsylvania tracks and serves a third and fourth at the Eagle Creek coaling station in West Indianapolis. Fuel, water and sand can be supplied to locomotives on four main tracks and the arrangement permits the servicing of through trains w ithout having the engines cut off. Passenger locomotives, by using the newly completed plant, can operate from Columbus, 0., to St. Louis, Mo., and from Chicago to Louisville, Ky., intact in their trains. Built of concrete and steel, the new 300-ton coaling station supplements the 500-ton station located near the new $1,000,000 engine house recently completed and put in operation. Considered the finest locomotive ' service station w r est of Pittsburgh, the Hawthorne engine house has thirty stalls; well equipped ma--1 chine shop; as pits and boiler washing plant and the most modern equipment for serving the i huge locomotives in the shortest possible time with a maximum of | safety. COP A FRIEND IN NEED Helps Woman With Heavy Package, She's Fined §lO.

me some encouragement in the be- ; lief that I would be able to take my solo flight within the next few weeks. The average student requires from ten to twelve hours’ instruction before he is qualified to solo, although some are permitted to fly alone in a little less time, and other require as much as fifteen or twenty hours. Ordinarily it requires more hours when the lessons are taken at infrequent intervals, spreading the course crier a long period of time. In this way the last lesson is not fresh in the student's mind when he takes his next lesson. Thus far I have been able to get in a half hour lesson daily, going up between showers some days. ana TODAY Brooks had me practice take-offs and landings again, two of the most important features of learning to fly. . I made an especial effort today to keep the plane straight on the take-off, having found I bad a tendency to over-control with the rudder bars, making the tail swing first to one side and then to the ether, as I attempted to correct the first swing. I had pretty good luck along this line, but in concentrating on holding the plane straight, I failed on several take-offs to hold the plane at the proper angle, causing it to bounce a little before it had gained sufficient momentum for me to pull the nose up for a climb. Brooks helped me some on the take-off by telling me to use my toes, instead of the ball of my foot, on the rudder, giving me quicker control as the plane starts to swing. On the first landing my instructor left it up to me to decide when to shut off the motor and start my glide on to the field. a a a THE first time I cut the motor too soon and had to start it again for a minute to get into the field. The next time I waited until we got nearer the field, but forgot I was flying higher than I had been before, and consequently was too close to keep from overshooting the field. This time Brooks instructed me to make a wide, banked turn to lose altitude, and by doing this I made a fair landing. “It is all right to use the motor to stretch out your glide,” Brooks told me. “But you should attempt to start your glides into the field from the proper place. It is good practice in case of a deadstick landing, one where your motor stops before you land. In time you will acquire skill at judging distances and speed.” Two more hops, during which Brooks checked my tendency to glide in too steeply, concluded the lesson.

‘Held Up'Train Present Railroad Lobbyist Once Nabbed Pay Car, Collected Taxes.

A FLORIDA sheriff who recently “held up” a passenger train for payment of delinquent taxes the road owed his county, had a long time precedent in Indiana, it was learned today. Back in 1891 Harry Miesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, was in the Adams county treasurer’s office. There was a long delinquent tax list he was sent out to collect. On that list was some $14,000 which the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad owed the county. Miesse was en route to collect from a farmer, who was then in the midst of another depression period. En route he crossed the G. R. & I. tracks and noticed the pav car being pulled over the road with cash for employe pay rolls. The assistant treasurer secured an attachment and “held up” the pay car, locomotive, money and all. He got a promise of payment before he permitted the train to leave town. The money was*delivered to Miesse at Ft. Wayne next day. For many years since then he has been employed as a lobbyist for the big railway systems passing through this state.

HUGE INCREASE IN STATE FIRE LOSSHEPORTED Figure Nearly Doubled for Six-Months Period. Hogston Says. Fire losses in Indiana for the first six months of the fiscal year, Oct. 1, 1929, to April 1, 1930. totalef $3,003,657, an Increase of $1,467,768 over the same period last year, according to figures compiled today by State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston. Total property loss this, year was divided as follows: Cities over 5.000 population, $1,075,275; towns under 5,000 population, 5470.7&7, and $1457,625 in rural districts and small villages.
