WORK STARTED ON TELESCOPE OF GIANT SIZE Mammoth Reflecter to Be Erected on Texas . Mountain. F I t-ntmrr g ert ire WILLIAMS BAY. Wts, Aug 18.— The giant eighty-inch reflecting telescope that will spy upon • the Mara from McDonald observatory, to be erected on a of Davis mountains. Texas, is now under const ruction. A contract for the telescope has been approved by the University of Texas board of regents, and Warner and Swasey Company of Cleveland are the builders, it has been announced by Dr. Otto Struve, joint director of the Yerkes and McDonald observatories. McDonald observatory, with its eighty-inch telescope, which will be exceeded In size only by the present 100-inch Mt. Wilson reflector and the projected 200-inch California Institute of Technology telescope. it is a Jo*i t undertaking of the University of Texas and the University of Chicago. With a bequest left by William .1. McDonald . the University of Texas w ill erect ar.d maintain the observtory. while the University of Chirago. nMlizing the experience of its Yerkes observatory at Williams Bar. V/ls.. will staff and operate the new observatory. New Glass I'sed A kind of glass that has a slightly smaller coefficient of expansion than pyrex glass will be used by the Corning Glass Works of Corning, N Y.. in casting the big 80-inch diameter mirror. The mounting of the telescope will be of the cross-axis type, but the usual declination axis is replaced by a large bearing. Great adaptability is planned, as the telescope will lie capable of being used in the ordinary Newtonian form, in the Cassegrain form and in the Coude form. When operated in the Newtonian form, the image of the star or other heavenly object fix-used by the giant mirror is caught by a small mirror or prism and thrown to the side of the telescope tube near its top. where it is viewed through an eye piece. In the Cassegrain form a small convex mirror placed at the focus reflects the rays back through the tube into a small hole in the big mirror and the observer looks directly at the stars as with a lens or refracting telescope. The Coude arrangement uses a number of mirrors that bring the rays to a comfortable flxc.d location where deli-. cate apparatus may be used. Temperature to Be Constant A constant temperature room will be provided at the lower end of the' polar axis. The principal focal ratio will be l to 4. the focal ratio at the Cassegrain focus will be 1 to 15, and at the Coude focus approximately 1 to 20. The counter weight, which in other telescopes is attached to the declination axis, is moved in the McDonald telescope toward the upper rnd of the polar axis, where it will not Interfere with the hydraulic hoists operating the two platforms for the Cassegrain arrangement. Mechanical details of the new telescope were worked out by E. ?.\ Burrell. Warner and Swasey Company director of engineering, while the specifications of the telescope were prepared by Drs. George Van Biesbroeck. Frank E. Ross, G. W. Moffitt and others of the Yerkes observatory, with the advice of many other astronomers.

Pennsylvania Street to See Lights Up at Keith’s Improvement in Patronage and Interest in Local Theaters Proves Conditions Are Getting Better. BY W ALTER D. HICKMAN WITH carpenters, decorators and others preparing to improve B F Keith s theater on Pennsylvania street for its opening under the management of the Swi'ow Brothers of Louisville and I Libson of Cincinnati, this city will find lights up on more theater marquees than in manv years. Keith’s will open, with what I understand will be a picture policy, on Saturday, Sept. 2. This policy may be changed as theatrical conditions

and competition increases. Keith s, which has had no definite policy for the past few years with the exception of rentals, will be redecorated and new movie equipment. Anew marquee will be installed and a box office will be built at the main entrance This will make Keith's look like a movie theater. H R Switow has been in Indianapolis making the preliminary arrangements for the improvements. He has returned to Louisville but will return the first of the week, it is understood. The Switow brothers have been in the theater business for years, operating theaters in Louisville and Lexington, Ky., and other cities. This is a good sign when the theatrical family becomes larger because it shows that conditions are getting better and managers are wWling to invest their money. English’s will open Its legitimate road season some time in the early fall. Bookings are being received and the outlook is good much better than last season. English's, under present plans probably will get a pre-season opening around Sept. 6. when a stage production of “Huckleberry Finn” is contemplated. The company presenting this play comes from Cincinnati. Definite arrangements have not been announced. The definite policies for the Indiana and Circle theaters under the new management Aug. 26, have not been announced. I feel, my own opinion, that the Indiana will have a stage show policy. I also think that the Lyric will eventually return to vaudeville. At present a straight feature policy is the rule. No definite announcement has been made for the Ohio, which is now closed. The Palace management Is proud of the great record of Marie Dressier and Wallace Beery in “Tugboat Annie” the last two weeks. The Apollo will continue with Its present policy. Some interesting changes may come in the distribution of the new movie product in the next few days, but that will have no effect upon either the Palace or the Apollo. a m m Indianapolis theaters todav offer: ' Her First Mate" at the Apollo. "Gold Diggers of 1933" at the Circle. "Midnight Mary” at the Palace. ■Disgraced” at the Lyric. "The Working man" and “Tomorow at Seven” at the Ambassador, burlesque at the Mutual and burlesque and "Sex Madness" at the Colonial. Neighborhood theaters today offer: "Goldie Gets Along" and "Below the Sea at the Hamilton: Murders in the zoo at ihe Rex; "Diplomantars" at the Oarrirk: Ex-Ladv ’ at the St. Clair;

SUPER PLANE TO MAKE REGULAR PACIFIC HOPS Major Doolittle Racking Plan for Ocean Passenger Flights. /?/ 1 iff trd Ptwta MANILA. Aug. 18—Within two years’ time, fifty-two passengers will be able to board a 4.000-horse-power plane in Manila and arrive in San Francisco four days later, if present plans of the Pan-American Airways Corporation for a pas-senger-freight service between San Francisco and Hongkong are realized fully, according to Major James H. ("Jimmie”) Doolittle, famed American speed flier and test pilot. The schedule of stops, already worked out by Pan-American Airways for the San Francisco-Hong-kong service. Major Doolittle said, includes Honolulu. Wake Island. Guam and Manila. The company estimates coverage of the proposed route in five days, their planes reaching Manila in four. Designs for the powerful machines necessary for such an undertaking are nearing completion. Outstanding features will be four 1.000horse power engines in each plane and a carrying capacity of fifty-two passengers. The passenger service, according to Doolittle, would be postponed until flights with only mail and cargo had proved the safety of the trans-Pacific venture.

FLOATING PORTS FOR AIRPLANES MADE REALITY System to Be Inaugurated by Germany for Mail Service Over Ocean. Ry Z'nilrti Prrtt BERLIN, Aug. 18 —Aviation’s once fantastic dream of conducting a regular trans-Atlantic service with the use of floating airports has virtually become a reality. Following successful tests with the steamship ''Westphaien" anchored in mid-Atlantic between Africa and Brazil, the German Lufthansa plans to inaugurate in the autumn an air-mail service between Germany and Buenos Aires. Rio de Janeiro and other South American points. Two Planes to Be Used Two planes will be used, each making half of the ocean trip. Terminal points will be Bathurst. British Africa, and Natal. Brazil. The plane, for example, which departs from Bathrust will proceed to the steamer (one day's flight), transfer its mail to the second plane, which will then be catapulted on the second stage of the journey (also a day's flight* to Natal. Three in Personnel Aboard the floating airport, the waiting plane will be thoroughly checked over and refueled for the return trip. Each plane will carry a personnel of three men. including a radio operator. Mail will be brought to. and taken from, each terminal point by land planes.
