MARION COUNTY WILL PAY LESS TAXES IN 1934 49 Indiana Units to Show Decrease: Total Is Greater. Marion county is one of the fortynine units in the state, out of the total ol ninety-two counties, which wil lpay Jess taxes in 1934 than this year, according to figures prepared by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association. In this county, $17,777,673.56 will be levied in taxes next year, which is a $244 550.58 decrease from this year's total of $18.022.224 14, it is declared by Harry’ Miesse, secretary of the association. For the entire state, the tax bill will be $607,000 larger than this year, with the greater part of the increase coming from counties which last year failed to provide adequate funds to meet expenses, and, as a result, will meet a double burden next year. The amount of taxed levied in the state next year will be $98,772,376.16, compared with $98,165,109 this year, the association estimates. However, the 1934 levy for the entire state will be considerably under the $140,069,591 total for 1932, Mr. Miesse points out. Decreases range from sixteenthhundredths of 1 per cent in Owen county to 38.4 per cent in Starke county, and increases vary from one-tenth of 1 percent in Whitley county to 78.3 per cent in Warrick county. Forty-four of the ninety-two state counties will observe the $1.50 law, while forty-eight rates will be in excess of the rate established by law. Appeals to the state tax board resulted in reduction of $518,300 in the amount of taxes levied in 1934, Mr. Miesse said.

LOST CONTINENT IS FOUND NEAR INDIA Expedition Discovers Hills on Gulf of Aden Floor. By United Prat* CALCUTTA. Dec. 13.—Scientists, groping along the floor of the ocean between India and Arabia, have discovered what they believe to be the “lost continent of Lemuria,” it was announced today. Members of the Murray oveanographic exdepition, exploring the deeps of the Gulf of Aden in a three-months’ survey, said they had discovered ten ranges of hills on the subsurface, running in a general direction from northwest to southeast across the gulf. ALso between India and Arabia, they found two submerged mountain chains, with a raised plateau and a deep valley, all hitherto unrecorded on ocean charts. Seymour Sewell, leader of the expedition, said there was little doubt that this sea floor was once a large land area.

ACCUSES GERMANY OF HAVING LARGE ARMY French General Declares 2,720,000 Form Fighting Force. By United Press PARIS, Dec. 13.—Charges that Germany has an effective fighting force of 2,720.000 men and is increasing steadily its war expenditures were mate today as direct French-German disarmament negotiations proceeded here and at Berlin. General Eugene Debeney, former army chief of staff, made the charges in the newspaper, Echo de Paris. General Debeney alleged that Germany really had 300,000 trained Reichswehr or regular army men. The remainder he calculated as follows: Nazi defense troops, 120,000; Nazi storm troopers, 1,000,000; World war veterans under 40 years of age, 1,300,000.

—Dietz on Science— WRITERS TELL SCIENCE STORY AS ADVENTURE Three Collaborate in New Volume Intended for Children. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor What science has learned about the universe is made as exciting as any tale of adventure in “The Story of Earth and Sky,” a book for children 9 years of age and older. The boy or girl who gets it for Christmas will be lucky, for it is the sort of book which kindles a lifelong enthusiasm for its subject matter. Written wtih skill and understanding. it teaches the latest theories of scientists and yet never appears to be doing anything more than being entertaining. Carleton Washburne, superintendent of the Winnetka schools; his wife, Mrs. Heluiz Washburne, and Frederick Reed, supervisor of elementary science in the Winnetka schools, are the authors. The book is published by the Century Company at $3.50 as a companion volume to V. M. Hilyer’s “A Child’s History” and “A Child's Geography of the World,” best sellers of previous years. The book is well illustrated with twenty-one excellent photographs and ninety fine drawings by Margery Stocking. The fields of astronomy and geology are covered by the book, which is divided into four parts. Part I is “The Story of the Earth.” Part II is titled ‘Neighbors in the Sky.” Part 111 is “The Stars,” and Part IV, “How We Found Out These Things.” Earth’s Origin Discussed The book begins with the formation of the earth from gaseous material hurled out of the sun, pulled out of the sun by the gravitational attraction of a passing star. * “Let’s pretend,” says the book, striking a chord of universal appeal to children. “Let’s pretend,” says the book, “that we are living several thousand million years ago. Let’s pretend that we have bodies that neither fire nor anything else can hurt and that we can live millions of years. We can’t be on earth, because the time we are imagining is long before the earth was born. So we’ll ride through space on the spinning sun—an enormous ball of blazing fire. It is more than a million times as big as the earth is going to be.” Make Science Exciting And so the authors make the origin of the earth an exciting adventure at which the youthful reader has a ringside seat. “The visitor star acts like a mighty magnet pulling on the sun, drawing toward itself great streams of burning metals,” they write. “Our sun is like a giant Fourth of July pin wheel. There is a frightful explosion—and another—and another! Each time tremendous

Cliff Nazarro

Celebrity night will be staged tonight at the Tally-Ho room of the Antlers. Several screen, radio and stage stars have been invited to attend. The second part of the show will be Cliff Nazarro's third edition of his “Eye Dears of 1933.” This floor show includes five star acts built around Cliff. Arnold Peek and his orchestra present the music. mountains of sun stuff flare up and huge pieces are thrown toward the oncoming star.” From the story of the earth’s formation, the authors proceed to the story of its cooling, the shaping of its surface, and the development of its life forms. THEY make the story dramatic and appealing by vivid word pictures, for example, their picture of the newly-formed earth: “Thick clouds hung all around the earth for thousands and thousands of years so that the sun and the earth were hidden from each other. Yet it was far from dark on the earth. The white-hot rocks gave out a light too dazzling for any eyes to stand. “The high clouds threw back the glare. There was no day or night, summer or winter. All the time that the earth spun around, its light was brighter than our brightest days. All the year the heat was terrific—like a fiery furnace, winter and summer.” How running water modeled the earth’s surface, how the contracting earth was buckled into mountain ranges, how life appeared and developed, how the dinosaurs gave way to the mammals, and how the glacial age prepared the way for man’s mastery of the earth, are told in lively style.
