GARDEN DRIVES STARTED IN 100 INDIANA CITIES Many New Projects Listed and Others Expand Over 1932. /!/ 7 tme* Kprcinl LAFAYETTK, Ind., March 24. Upward of 100 cities in Indiana, large and small, will have community or industrial gardens during the coming season as a means of cutting down expenditures for relief am' also provide employment for those out of work. This is nearly double the number engaged ii evganizee relief work by the garden route last season, ac- , rording to H. E. Young of the Pur- j due university horticultural exten- 1 sion staff, who is heading up the j state-wide movement for relief gardens. ‘'Approximately thirty cities had relief gardens under township trus- J tees' supervision last year, and about' twenty-five others had relief gardens of one sort or another.” said Mr, Young. "This year we find that practically twice this number have adopted organized projects and that wherever the work was conducted last year it is being extended this season.” Busy in Evansville Evansville, which had a large community garden last year, will have more than 200 acres under cultivation this year, besides about 2.500 home gardens; South Bend relief gardens have been increased from about thirty to more than 200 acres; Terre Haute will have more than 100 acres in a community garden and Richmond, which had a very successful garden last year, will have more than 100 acres this year. Frankfort’s garden will jump from forty to eighty acres, and Gary, which had an outstanding garden project last year, will increase its size. Among tire new cities listed are Greensburg, Portland, Franklin, Connersville, Seymour, and many others, which are working out garden projects. To provide suitable seed for these organizations, Young and the governor’s commission on unemployment relief have worked out a garden plan for the guidance of the home gardeners and also a seed list which will enable the single lot gardeners to use land to best advantage.

Seed Fist Arranged This seed list, which includes beets, beans, carrots, lettuce, parsnips, radishes, spinach, sweet corn, Swiss chard, and turnips, providing crops for use during the summer and also for canning or storage purposes, has been let on a contract basis to one of the leading seed firms of the country. This firm will provide a packet, of seeds containing all these vegetables in sufficient amount for a lot 50 x 150 feet, at a, cost of 22”, cents a packet, or 41 cents for two packets. Notice of the price has gone out from the Governor’s commission to all relief officers, so that they can purchase this seed if they wish and distribute it. to users at cost or free, if they desire. “Many communities are raising funds for purchase of this seed, while in others the township trustees will provide them to the men who are on relief, but will have garden space of their own,” said a statement from the commission named by governor Paul V. McNutt. “The seed offer is open to any relief organization, public or prh vate.” HOLD UP DRUG STORE. OBTAIN S7O IN CASH Bandit Pair Also Escape With Express Orders From Pharmacy. Forcing the manager and three clerks to be seated, two bandits obtained S7O in cash and an undetermined amount in express money orders from the pharmacy of P. S. Morgan, 201 South Audubon road, shortly before midnight Thursday. The loot was taken from a cash register and an unlocked safe. The bandits escaped in an automobile. Manager of the store is M. C. Roberts, 301 North Grant street. The clerks are James Bantz, 5721 Bonna avenue, and Claude and John Belcher, 117 South Spencer avenue.

‘Danger Zone of Universe’ Is Pierced by Cosmic Explorers

m * 5."

We have brought our rocket ship to rest upon Mimas, the closest of Saturn’s nine moons, in order that we might study the ringed planet at or leisure, Saturn is a gorgeous sight from the rocky ledges of Mimas. It fills more than half the skv.

Space Ship Speeds Through Meteor Area Toward •Ringed’ Planet. This is thp sixth and last of a series of articles by David Diet;: on "Rcckeine Through the Universe.” In previous articles, ihe explorer in the rocket snip described a visit to the Moon and told of observations of the sun from the planet Mercury. The space ship's crew then battled without success to pierce the atmospheres of the planets Venus and Mars. As the comsic tour nears an end. the explorers observe from close proximity the planets Jupiter and Saturn. BV DAVID DIETZ, Scripps-Howard Science Editor The journey from Mars to Jupiter is the most hazardous part of a rocket tour of the solar system. It takes us through the danger zone of planetary space. We must turn on all our batteries of searchlights and post a look-out at every port hole of our rocket ship. We must summon all our navigators to the bridge of our ship and -equest our astronomers in the chart room to examine their maps of the region and report to us at once. Three hazards endanger the trip from Mars to Jupiter. They are asteroids, comets and meteor streams. The jump from Mars to Jupiter is very long. If, at the moment, both planets were so situated in their orbits that a straight line from Jupiter to the sun passed through Mars, the jump would be 342,000.000 miles. Since that is not the ease at the moment, our jump is still greater. Collision Peril Grows Eighteenth century astronomers were surprised by the fact that the gap between Mars and Jupiter was so great. They thought that the space between the two was empty. Today, thanks to the work of the nineteenth and twentieth century astronomers, we know better. It is the zone of cosmic rubbish. More than a thousand asteroids are known to astronomers. All of them revolve around the sun in the gap between Mars and Jupiter. We must ask our astronomers to report to us if any are so situated in their orbits at the moment that they are on the line of our journey from Mars to Jupiter. We must set our course so that there is no collision. Our rocket ship is moving at the speed of 10,000.000 miles an hour. A collision, at that speed, would generate so much heat that our rocket ship would disappear in a blinding flash of volatilizing metals. Comets Are Captured We also must keep a sharp lookout for Jupiter's family of comets. Jupiter is the big brother of the solar system. It is the largest of all planets, having a diameter

eleven times that of the earth. Because of its size, it exerts a powerful gravitational pull. Comets are the lightweight members of the solar system. Their heads are merely sociable groups of meteors, pieces of rock ranging from sand grains to large boulders. Their tails, though millions of miles long at times, are only gases, a thousand times thinner than the air we breathe. Comets Are “Captured” From time to time, comets have had the misfortune of passing near Jupiter and. as a result, have been “captured” by it. Now they "evolve in shortened orbits, one end of which circles the sun and the other end of which is near the orbit of Jupiter. But life in these restricted orbits does not agree with comets. They go to pieces, disintegrating into streams of meteors which continue to circle the sun in the old comet orbits. When the earth crosses the orbit of one of these streams, it causes a meteoric shower such as the Leonids, for example. While a meteoric shower is a sight of beauty, we have no desire to participate in one. Consequently, we shall set out course so that we do not plow through either a comet or a stream of meteors. Clouds Are Avided As we approach Jupiter, we see that it is the most beautiful, object that has met our eyes during our cosmic journey. We see that the planet is richly colored, various shades of red and brown predom-

inating, with here and there an olive green. We note that the markings, for the most part, are arranged in belts of alternate lighter and darker shades stretching across the planet, parallel to the equator. We might plunge into the cloud layers around Jupiter but we are afraid that the intense cold might cause them to congeal upon the exterior of our rocket ship. We do not want to risk having the ship weighted down so that we can not get out into empty space again. Accordingly, we turn the nose of our ship toward Saturn and set the throttle for full speed ahead. We must travel more than 500,000,000 miles to reach Saturn. Fills Half of Sky The ringed planet is a gorgeous sight from the rocky ledges of Mimas. it fills more than half the sky. The planet itself resembles Jupiter. Like Jupiter, it is covered with clouds drawn out into belts. So beautiful is the sight as we hover near the planet that we might spend days studying it. We might also explore Mimas and the other moons of Saturn. We might go on to visit the other planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. But we have been away from earth now for an entire week. We are lonesome for familiar sights, fields and trees and city streets. So let us start our rocket ship and head for home. Some other time, I will invite you for another rocket journey and we will explore the rest of “,he solar system.

The short vacation comes at the \ end of more than twenty-seven ■ months of activity since Kern took j the bench on Jan. 1, 1931. During that time. 2.603 cases have been tried, although only 2.326 were I filed in room one. The difference represents the cases which were pending when Kern took the bench. Os the 752 cases on file then, 277 have been tried, and the remaining 475 can not be tried because of legal proceedings or later trial dates. , In 1931, 1.273 cases were disposed , of. and the number tried jumped to 1 1.330 in 1932.

' Our problem is not too many organizations in Indianapolis." he continued. "but are the organizations working together?” “I have immeasurable faith in the city's future. But collective action is absolutely necessary to get community desires.
