ROBOT PILOT AIDS HAWKS TO NEW AIR MARK New Nonstop Record Is Set in Dash From West Coast. /?;/ Tii Itr fj Prrag NEW YORK. .June 3.—A robot pilot at the controls helped Lieu-tenant-Commander Frank M. Hawks set anew non stop trans-continen-tal air speed record of 13 hours, 26 minutes, when he swooped down at Floyd Behnett field shortly before midnight. The veteran speed pilot bettered his own record by 4 hours, 12 min-

ably well, Hawks said. “The only trouble was that I got sleepy,’' he added, “But all-in-all it was a re- j markable trip, and a remarkable performance for the mechanical man. “All I had to do was to change the direction, occasionally, in accordance with mv course. Tin; robot maintained an even course with no j variations whatsoever. The head winds were what held me back. “I struck bad weather in the pass; through the San Bernardino moun-t tains. A dense fog made flying 1 rather difficult. I was at the controls then, not the robot. I didn't hand the ship over to him until we were through that.’’ Hawks flew most of the time at an altitude of from 14,000 to 16.000 feet. His fastest speed was 260 miles an hour which was logged over Colorado. PLAN VACATION SCHOOL Tabernacle Presbyterian Bible Classes Will Open July 12.

Sewage Disposal Solves State Stream Pollution

This is another of the weekly articles on conservation, by William F. Collins, whose hobby is preservation of Indiana's natural resources. BY WILLIAM A. COLLINS Times Special Writer r r'HE answer to stream pollution is sewage disposal. Immediately I JL hear voices rising to portest the cost. Every benefit we receive in this life costs us money. The more intimate the benefit, the more alert we become to pay out our money for it.

For that very human reason, we find. ourselves obligated to pay a monthly stipend for our home and food, for our clothing and our util-

ity services. We pa, not always gladly, our water, electric and gas bills. I have not found one person in a thousand v. ho cares a whoop what becomes of the water he has used after it vanishes down the dark holes in his plumbing system. There is where the rub st a r ts. There are many, many people who

become affected personally and intimately with that waste water after it has left your home. If you happen to be an outdoor hobbyist, your walk beside the peaceful stream is terminated by some in- j describable odor; your fishing trip | either results in a water haul or a basketful of carp; your swimming party winds up with a bad attack of sinus infection: your boy’s or j girl's trip afield brings a hurried call j for a doctor and para typhoid in- j oeulation. if not. too late. The cost of the average adequate sewage disposal plant, I am told, j is not much in excess of the cost i of the sidewalk in front of your; lot and who among us denies himself that luxury? if we pay the i sidewalk cost willingly to keep our shoes clean, we can be as willing to keep our state clean and our waters pure. In the long run. most of us will find mote good fun in the open beside a stream or lake of sweet water than can be found on a city sidewalk. Sewage disposal is a personal service and can be paid for as such j the same as we pay our water bills. The more water we use, the more sewage we create. The charge for the service is like the tax we pay to drive our car. The big truck pays more tax because it uses more gallons of gasolin- f * The big factory v more tax]

Antlers Offers Summer Resort in Heart of City

POLAR ICE OF BESTIALITY Distilled Water Is Used in Product: Plant Is Modern One. Many people take the things they have for granted and never give a thought as to how they could do without them. Take ice, and figure what it would mean to be without it. Here is a material delivered to us every day which makes hot weather bearable, which preserves our food so tht it is safe for us, and whicn furnishes us cool refreshments on demand. If no ice were available, the discomforts of summer would be multiplied, the provision of the family meals would be complicated, and a big share of our summertime pleasure and comfort would be impossible. There are decided advantages in using ice for refrigeration in the home. Economy is one of them. The first cost of a good refrigerator is not high, and with a good refrigerator the family ice bills are low. The Polar Ice and Fuel Company, 2000 Northwestern avenue, has one of the most modern ice manufacturing plants in the country. Unusual care is taken to insure the highest degree of purity in its ice. The crystal clear appearance of its oroduct is obtained by using distilled water, the most healthful form, for it does not contain mineral or organic substance.

Conservation

because it uses more water. creates more pollution. And strangely | enough, the gross polluters almost | without exception use the most j water. Easy to Finance No difficulty will be encountered in Indiana under our present laws in taking advantage of the opportunity to finance our construction costs of sewage disposal plants through the R. F. C. Provision has been made fully in this state to enable us to defray the operating costs on a rental basis and to raise the needed money for construction by loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.' All self-liquidating civic projects, however, under the government ruling will have to be started and the loan authorized before Jan. 23, 1934. That leaves very .little time to act. It may be noted that action is the only ingredient lacking in the In- : diana situation. We have seen within the brief , span of a generation the ruination of our once beautiful White river: j the Muscatatuok no longer the limpid stream of purse delight, the I Tippecanoe is being threatened this year by a huge canning factory ! project organized in Chicago to be I established near Warsaw, the owni ers of which will care as little about i what happens to the crystal waters of the old Tippecanoe as the owners of the Newcastle factories cared ! what happened to Riley's old swimmin’ hole when they dumped raw acids into Blue river. Drives Visitors Away In some of the phases of this poli lution question it seems to me to be stark madness to continue our mis- | takes of the past and ignore their effect on the future. People go on their vacationing to a beautiful country, not necessarily anew country. A beautiful country does not include in its foreground a stinking stream. Perhaps that is why thirteen mil- ! lion people visited the state parks of jno them Michigan last year while 1 only one million visited our own.

HIGHER RATING IS INDIANA LAW SCHOOLS GOAL Grade A Standard Sought: Enrollment Record Established. Seeking to acquire the grade A rating as set by the American Bar | Association, trustees of the Indiana Law School have announced new standards of entrance requirements at the school. The recent decisions of the trustees include one year of college j training along with a complete high j school course. Another principal j change effected is in the term of the school. Heretofore, three se- J mesters have been given, but with j the new ruling two will be substi- i tuted, with a more lengthy discus-1 sion on important law subjects. According to demands of the bar! association, a full time instructor | must be employed. This also will be accomplished when the new term! opens. Hope for Progress It is the hope of the trustees that the educational requirements for the ! school gradually will be increased j until the grade A rating is attained. ; In the near future, additional full, j time faculty members will be added to the staff. In the past the school always has operated as near as possible to the grade A rating, and many students have been graduated front the law course and have become successful members of the legal profession. However, with the above changes; it is hoped the school will be reorganized as one of the best in the nation for a complete law course. With start of the* fall term, the changes in the system of study will follow that of the leading law schools in the country. According to school officials, a record has been established for enrollment. A threeyear course is required. Sixteen in Faculty The faculty now consists- of sixteen members of the law profession in the city. Much time has been devoted to the practical training of students as well as to the training of law. The school is located on the sixth floor of the Insurance building, on the northeast corner of Market street and Monument circle. Members of the board of directors consist of Dr. M. L. Haines, president; Hilton U. Brown, James M. Ogden, and Lewis B. Ewbank. Henry M. Dowling is chairman of the executive committee and has been in actual charge since the death of Dean James A. Rohbach. CIR CUS TO BE GIVEN Sick and Crippled Children at >l. E. Hospital to Be Entertained.

Miniature circus for the entertainment of sick and crippled children will be given on the Taggart Memorial podiatric floor of the Methodist, hospital at 3:30 Monday afternoon.
