Science shows MODERN MAGIC AT WORLD FAIR You Can See Sound and . Watch Water Burn at Exposition. Following 1* the second article telling about Chicago's world flir and the wonders which will bo on view next June. This dispatch describes some of the weird devices, as shown to The Times T.t a special laboratory preview. BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Nov. 7.—An atom is a simple thing; easily understood. You don’t believe us? Then come into Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition and see some atoms in operation: Eight great spidery balls in a vast black room represent so many atoms of various substances. Let's concentrate on the atom of | sodium. The attendant throws a | switch and a tiny red light glows in the center of the ball. That red light is the nucleus, about which the atom is built. The attendant touches another switch. The ball begins to blink white and blue lights. The white lights represent the bombardment of energy given off by the atom. Gradually they fade and the blue lights begin to blink brighter—representing the atom rebuilding itself. Rust Machine, Too The rust machine is in another room. It attacks a piece of steel, and in one second does as much damage as the weather could in ten years. ,Oxygen blows on the steel and the hard metal bursts into flames. The resultant ashes are rust. The attendant takes this rust, puts in on another automatic machine, which mixes it with a catalizer, fires it by electricity, quenches it in acid—and turns it into steel again while you wait. You Can See Sound And if you look closely in the next booth, you can .see sound. It’s done with mirrors. To see sound you mast have a set of singing flames. These flames burn in long tubes of varying lengths, and as the stoppers are opened the flames sing —from bass to tenor. Vibrations of .the air make the music. Look in the mirrors then, while they revolve, and they’ll make these vibrations of about 600 a minute seem stationary. And that's the sound you’re look at; at least so the scientists say. Merely Burning Water Another gadget casually burns water! It’s done very simply. Electricity separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, and the hydrogen burns from a jet, just like a gas light back in 1908. There is a full-size coal mine in operation. It was a big job diggi-<- g a hole in the ground and filling it with anthracite, but the fair directors think their labor was worth while, because you may go down in an elevator and watch miners dig fuel as easily as you could go into a department store bargain basement. A red neon light isn’t red at all. It’s lavender and green and yellow as well as red. A spectograph, which also operates with mirrors and motors, shows you all about it. 1,000,000 to 1 And then there’s the machine which proves that your chances of becoming a millionaire are about a million to one. It demonstrates the laws of chance by means of steel balls falling over pins. Most of the balls drop down the easiest way. Only a few take the hard way down —to the millionaire class. The laws of chance, as demonstrated by the steel balls, hold good for millionaires, bridge games, horse races, elections and life insurance. Next: We'll have a look at the dinosaurs which roamed the world a few million vears ato; we'll take a whirl on the revolving restaurant, and we'll watch an engineer bend a light rav into the shape of a pretzel.

Dozen Stamps Included in Bicentennial Series

BY MRS C. O. ROBINSON 'T'WO HUNDRED years that have elapsed since Washington was born have been times of great accomplishment. Development of the postal system is an example of this great progress. If Washington were to return today he would consider it a great miracle that little paper oblongs, bearing his likeness, could carry mail, by plane, motor car, steam car and steamship, to every corner of the world. The bicentennial year is almost over and the commemorative series of stamps that the government has issued will be discontinued. In this series of ''twelve stamps, each one bears a different and celebrated Washington portrait that is historically interesting. The figure on the one-half-cent dark brown stamp is taken from a miniature painted by Charles William Peale in 1777. The original, given by Washington to his niece Harriet, is in the Metropolitan museum in New York. Peale, bom in Maryland, was a contemporary of Washington and a famous painter He founded the Pennsylvania academy of fine arts, the first of its kind in the United States.

'T'HE engraving used on the 1 cent green stamp was chosen as the official portrait of the bicentennial. It is a reproduction, in profile, of a bust by Jean Antoine Houdon and was made from life in 1785. This bust is supposed to be the most faithful likeness of Washington and now is at Mount Vernon. Houdon came to the United States at the invitation of Beii>min Franklin, who had been in France as ambassador for the new republic. This famous French sculptor was commissioned to make this bust and the statue of Washington which is in the Capitol at Richmond Virginia. The reproduction on the one and one-half cent light brown stamp is from a painting known as “The Virginia Colonel,” which shows Washington in the uniform of colonel of Virginia militia. It was made by Peale at Mount Vernon in 1772 and is the earliest portrait of Washington. The original hangs in the Lee Memorial chapel at Washington and Lee University. The “Atheneum” portrait by Gilbert Stuart graces the 2-cent red stamp. The original was painted at Germantown. Pa. in 1796. It hangs in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. This is the best known and handsomest portrait of Washington. Gilbert Stuart was born in Rhode Island in 1755 and won his greatest acclaim as a portrait painter. Many distinguished men and women of that period sat for him. but his most celebrated portraits are of Washington. nun THE 3-cent purple shows Washington in a general's uniform, with cocked hat. Peale painted this portrait in 1777 at Valley Forge. The original now is in the normal school at West Chester, Pa. The portrait reproduced on the 4-cent warm brown stamp is also by Peale. It was made in 1777 and now hangs in the home of William Patten Rhinebeck of New York. Peale seems to have the monopoly on the bicentennial portraits. In 1795 he painted the likeness used on the 5-cent blue stamp. The original is owned the New York Historical Society. # The 6-cent orange stamp represents Washington in the uniform of a general. The original was painted by John Trumbull in 1793 and hangs in the Trumbull gallery at Yale university. Trumbull was born in Connecticut and was aide-de-camp to Washington during the revolution. He is the best known of the early historical painters. In 1817 congress commissioned him to paint four pictures for the rotunda of the Capitol. His “Signing of the Declaration," “Surrender of Burgoyne.” "Surrender of Cornwal’’ and “Resignation of Washington” are known to all Americans. • The bust portion of a full length portrait by Trumbull is shown on the 7-cent black statap. It was painted in 1780 and shows Washington in colonial uniform. The original hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A crayon drawing furnishes the figure for the 8-cent olive green stamp. It was made from life by Charles B. F. St. Memm at Philadelphia in 1798,

THE 9-cent pink stamp displays a likeness taken from a pastel portrait owned by the Masonic lodge at Alexandria, Va., where Washington was a member. It was drawn from life by W. Williams in 1794, and shows Washington in Masonic regalia. The figure on the 10-cent orange is from a painting by Stuart, made in 1795, known as the “Vaughn” portrait, and is owned by S. P. Avery. The government should be congratulated on these artistic and historic stamps which have added much interest to the bicentennial celebration. Here are new cachets; Nov. 11—Armistice day.

Maennerchor Starts Season

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Again it was Chopin, two Etudes and “Scherzo in B flat minor,” that caused the big noise of approval of the playing of Guiomar Novaes at the Academy of Music Sunday afternoon. Not that the remainder of the program of this pianist was not as well, as brilliantly or as colorfully played as the Chopin numbers, but it was the new tone qualities of Chopin's music that Mme. Novaes obtained that brought on the big ovation. As far as I recall, I have never heard this woman play before she opened the season of the Indianapolis Maennerchor yesterday afternoon. Her brilliant handling of Bech’s “Toccato in D,” which convinced me during her first section of the program that we really had a fine artist with us. The thing that struck me most of the time was the new tone qualities that she obtained from her piano. This was so apparent during the Chopin numbers. Her playing of “Andantino and Variations in B Minor,” by Schu-bert-Tausig, served as the introduction to the second group, which included the Chopin numbers. In the third group she introduced many of us to Villa-Lobos’ “The Horse of the Little Pierrot” and “The Hand-Whip of the Little Devil.” Here was light, delightful, sensitive playing. The two Albeniz numbers, “Fete Dieu a Seville” ’and “Navarra,” again displayed colorful as well as charming expression. Besides the artist in Mme. Novaes. I was tremendously interested in the woman. She has less of what they call strange temperament than any of the pianists I have heard. Twice, a door on the stage was blown open and twice, calmly and naturally, she left the piano and closed the door. I got a tremendous glimpse of the human side of Mme. Novaes during this concert. To say that she was a success is putting it mildly. WARNING IS GIVEN 11. S. Latin America Will Crush This Country, Author Declares. By Scripps-Hoicard Xetcspaper Alliance NEW YORK. Nov. 7 —ln an open letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt today, General Rafael de Nogales, author and soldier of fortune, warned that unless the United States alters its Latin American policy, a world coalition will crush it as Germany was crushed. Thanks to Washington's “Dollar Diplomacy,” Nogales said, the twenty republics south of the Rio Grande are deserting the United States and drawing closer to the powers belonging to the League of Nations. “What that means to the commercial future of this country,” he added, “you c§p easily understand.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Manufacturers and Retailers Review

AUTO LIGHTS MADE SAFE BY CITUONCERN Perfection Windshield Cos. Is Equipped to Give Best Service. E. G. Evans, secretary of the Perfection Windshield Company, recently made a survey to determine why so ijiany automobile accidents have occurred in recent years. He learned that a large cent cent was caused by defective lamps, either due to glaring headlights from the oncoming car or the driver’s own headlights not illuminating the roadway properly. Since finding this condition, Evans has moved the Perfection Windshield Company another step forward by arranging his organization to qualify as experts on adjusting, replate, focus and installing new lenses in any type car. Given New Franchise He has spent considerable time with the engineers of the Guide Lamp Corporation to determine just how his company must be equipped to tender this service satisfactorily. Asa result of his study, Evans secured an authorized service station franchise from the United States Service, Inc., on the wholesale and retail of guide lamps. Today he is offering anew service to the public —a compliete check on automobile headlights, regardless of type or make. If the headlights on your car are not focusing properly or the lenses cast off-shadow lights, have them adjusted immediately at the Perfection Windshield Company, where you can get authorized service. It may save you a large future accident bill. Another timely service offered to the public is the solving of car heating problems. Since early introduction of hot water or manifold type heaters there have been many changes. All these modern improvements will be found, however, in the new Francisco heaters distributed by the company. “We are prepared.” Evans said, “to equip and install any type car heater demanded on any American built car since 1920.” Recognized as Best For years the Francisco heater has been recognized as the leading as well as the most efficient carheating equipment made. Connections on the Francisco so are arranged that all parts necessary to proper car operation are avoided. When the Francisco heater is placed in your car that ends the heating problem. There is no added cost for maintenance or operation—the first cost is the last cost. The company is also distributors for the Rusco Products Company, including brake lining, clutch facings and fan belts, and handle Pittsburgh proof products in paints, lacquers (Mimax brand) and enamels.

NEW CORONER CUTS DOWN ON AUTOPSIES 10 Per Cent Decrease Noted Since Resignation of Yehiing. Autopsies performed by the county coroner have decreased 10 per 7ent in the last seven months, since Dr. William E. Arbuckle succeeded Fred W. Vehling, who resigned, office records revealed today. Under the previous administration autopsies were performed in 25 per cent of cases, while the average now is 16.7 per cent, it is shown. Vehling was convicted of receiving a bribe after an investigation revealed he was performing illegal autopsies. He has appealed his case to the supreme court in an attempt to escape a two-to-fourteen-year prison sentence. Steadily decreasing expenses In office operation also is indicated by survey of records. In 1929 and 1930 the case cost was $14.66 and $13.92, respectively. Under Arbuckle’s administration the case cost has averaged $10.03. Decline in the number of cases follows: 1929 , 846; 1930. 869; 1931, 968, and first nine months'of 1932, 650 cases. Ten Drown in Sea Crash By United Press FIGUEIRA, Portugal, Nov. 7.

buy a good old oyster dinner, and where I can get the makin’s’ and really know that it will be fresh?” is the question often asked. That question easily answered in Indianapolis, because the Philadelphia Oyster House, managed by J. W. Everigham, who has been serving oyster dinners for nineteen years, knows practically everything about arranging a tasteful oyster meal.

His patrons know that his stock always is fresh, as they see him open them right from the shell as they stop in the door. That is one of the reasons why all his customers come back.

Those not acquainted with the Philadelphia Oyster House should drop around and get next to this opportunity to obtain a real delicious oyster meal. Since the demand for oysters recently has increased, Everingham will keep his place open until midnight to please all his customers who desire an oyster meal late at night.

FREIGHT RATE CUTS TO AID INDIANA PLANTS Ruling Reducing Freight Prices on Sand Is Announced Here. Indiana manufacturers' will be benefited greatly by an interstate commerce commission ruling reducing freight rates on sand to Indiana points, it was announced today by R. B. Coapstick, Indiana Chamber of Commerce traffic manager. The ruling also ordered the railroads to p&y reparations to fifty or sixty Indiana manufacturers based on the new rates for shipments made in the last five years. The commission increased freight rate on sand from the Ottawa (111.) area to Indianapolis and gas belt points from $2.04 to $2.20 a ton in box cars, but lowered the rate to $2 in flat cars. About 10,000 carloads of silica sand are shipped annually from the Ottawa district to glass manufacturers in Indianapolis, Muncie, Anderson, Hartford City, Marion, Dunkirk, Winchester, Kokomo, Lapel, Fortville, Summitville and Alexandria.
