STATE PLEDGES S2OO ADVANCES FOR SCHOOL AID Units to Receive SSOO of Teacher Maximum at 1934-35 Year End. Indiana school units will receive at least SSOO of the S6OO maximum state palymcnt for each teacher by the close of the 1934-35 school year, but the saving in property tax will not be reflected in many units, unless taxpayers take concerted action, It was pointed out today. An advance of S2OO for each teacher has been promised school units next January, with an additional SIOO by July 1, 1934. when the state's obligation begins. In addition, at least another S2OO will be available the following January, it was forecast. State officials contend that the S2OO payment promised Jan. 1, 1934, merely is an advance payment, or a “loan - ’ to the schools, which must be allowed in fixing budgets this fall. City Budget Different Some school units will set budgets this fall for 1934-35. while the Indianapolis and some other units now are engaged in preparing their 1933-34 budgets. School units in many counties, state officials have been informed, are allowing only S3OO, and in some instances nothing, in their 1934-35 budgets for the SSOO state aid payments. planning to use the S2OO Jan. 1 (1934> advance as a gift to complete the present school year. They know that without this extra money this year they will end the school year with a deficit, as a result of closed banks, inadequate levies, increased tax delinquencies and other factors. Attitude of taxpayers in many counties, as sensed by state officials, is to let the schools get along as best they can this year, and include the full SSOO in the 1934-35 budget in order to reduce next year’s property tax. Get Other Allotments In addition to gross income tax funds, the school units will receive allotments from the state intangibles and excise tax funds by next July. The distribution of S2OO. forecast for Jan. 1, 1935, includes funds from all three of these sources, and it is likely that the figure will go to S3OO, making a total payment for the 1934-35 school year of S6OO, the maximum permitted under the state law. The sum of $1.70 a pupil already has been promised the school units for the present year from excise taxes. In the case of the Indianapolis schools, this will mean a gift of approximately SIOO,OOO, which is being included by the local school officials in fixing their budget and levy for the current school year. HOLDS UP STREET CAR Negro Gunman Takes S2O From Columbia Avenue Operator. A Negro bandit obtained S2O early today in a robbery of Charles Rieger, 806 Highland place, Columbia avenue street car operator, while the car was at Fourteenth and West streets. Rieger told police the Negro boarded the car at Nineteenth street and Martindale avenue and rode around a turning loop before displaying a pistol and taking the money.

The ashes will be taken to the West Street church in Tipton this week. He had been a lifelong resident of Tipton and was a member of the Christian church. Survivors are four sons. Dr. A. E. Burkhart.

AW BY BRUCE CAITON THOSE Europeans who say pityingly that America is a land without old traditions should read Harvey Fergusson’s new book, “Rio Grande.” In this book, Fergusson describes one of the most colorful and eventful pageants the history of any nation affords: the long record of human activity in the Rio Grande valley of New Mexico, where civilization has clustered about the painted mountains for unnumbered centuries. First there were the Indians—plains Indians, robber bands which lived by pillage, more civilized folk who built walled towns hundreds of years before Columbus came and who evolved a philosophy of life, an awareness of humanity’s kinship with nature, that still has rich values. Then came the Spaniards, hunting cities that never existed, looking for gold and absent-mindedly founding an empire, transplanting a bit of medieval Spain to the heart of America, cruel, daring, credulous and proud. Finally came the Americans. They came over the mountains first as traders, then they came as invaders, and they took this outpost of empire and made it their own. But the outlines of the old order still survive, and furnish for the reviving life of the southwest a background of great color and richness. Ferguson tells about all of this with uncommon skill. He makes the history of the region seem real and alive, and his portraits of the vivid personalities of the Rio Grande valley are unforgettably brilliant. All in all. “Rio Grande” is an exceptionally good book. Published by Knopf, it sells for $3. Killed by Hit-Skip Driver By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 29.—Victim of a hit-and-run driver. Daniel M.

Giant Thermometer at A Century of Progress Thousands of Visitors Ask Every Day, 'How Does It Work?’ By Times Special CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—“ How does it work?” That's the question being asked by thousands of world’s fair visitors every day as they look at the giant thermometer, 218 feet high, which tells the temperature in such a spectacular fashion, that it can be seen from any part of the exposition grounds. The thermometer is built in the form of a triangular tower of ultramodern design. The base of the tower is a circular structure, which houses an oil display and rest room. Above this, starting at a height of fifty feet, is the tower itself, with each of its three sides carrying a replica of a thermometer, marked in two-degree intervals from 10 below zero to 110 above zero. But the glowing red columns, which move up and down with every variation of temperature at A Century of Progress, are not filled with mercury, as many seem to think. Nor is there a central column of mercury inside the thermometer turning on red lights on the outside, another popular guess. Such a plan would require several hundred pounds of mercury, which would cost a small fortune. In reality, the red columns are composed of neon tubes, the same kind so widely used in electric signs. The fifteen-foot circles, representing the bulb on a mercury thermometer, also are bult up of neon tubing. All told, 1,754 feet of gaseous tubing—nearly one-third of a mile—are used on the thermometer. STATEHOUSE ‘EMPTIED’ Governor, Minor Officials Attend State Legion Parley.

5,000 VARIETIES OF METAL NOW AREMCED Alloys Are Made From 25 Basic Substances in Earth. BY DAVID DIETZ Seripps-Howard Science Editor How important alloys, as mixtures of two or more metals are called, have become to modern civilization, is pointed out by Dr. Zay Jeffries, noted metallurgist, who calls attention to the fact that about 5,000 of them are used today. ‘‘There are more than 5,000 varieties of metals industrially,” says Dr. Jeffries, who is consulting metallurgist of the General Electric Company and the Aluminum Company and the Aluminum Company of America. “Os this great number, only about twenty-five are pure metals or elemental substances and the other are mixtures, called alloys. “The principal elemental metals in the order of tonnage production are iron, copper, lead zinc, aluminum, tin and nickel. Steel Most Important. “Steel, the most important alloy in the world, is in its simplest form a malleable alloy of iron and carbon. The so-called alloy steels contain one or more elements in important amounts in addition to carbon. Iron and steel are classed as ‘ferrous metals’ from the Latin word ‘ferrum.’ The other metals are, as a group, called ‘ncnferrous.’ “Brass, the most important nonferrous alloy, is essentially a mixture of copper and zinc, Duralumin, used in the construction of Zeppelins and other aircraft, contains about 94 per cent of aluminum.” Scraps Recovered The annual consumption of metals in the United States runs into millions of tons. “In addition to large quantities of scrap metal recovered, the new metal produced in the United States in 1920 was about 50,000,000 tons,” Dr. Jeffries says. “The new iron production is largely in the form of pig iron, which is used both in the manufacture of cast iron and steel. Os the total new metal production, pig iron was about 98 per cent, and all other metals only 7 per cent. “It is an astounding fact that we now use pig iron at such a rate that the entire United States’ production for the year 1830, 100 years ago, would be consumed in one and a half days. Railroads Create Demand “The nonferrous metal production has increased in similar proportion. In fact, of the seven principal metals, two, aluminum and nickel, were of no industrial importance a century ago. “The history of the rapid expansion in the use of metals is as romantic in its way as the history of gold. The demands of the railroads, both for rails and rolling stock, in the middle of the last century, put a premium on the inventive ingenuity of the metallurgist. “He responded by the development of the Bessemer and open-hearth processes for making steel of high quality, in unlimited quantity and at •low cost.”
