rum© •VAl\lMlua*s Chief of Air Service S<-ripp-Ho*rd Jan lor Aviator YOUR first lesson taught you Junior Aviators how to build a glider Probably you wem't very thrilled about building such a simple model ... but keep in mind sail planes play an important pert in aviation. They help a lot in the science of aeronautics. And speaking of gliders, reminds me of a student in east Prussia who managed to keep himself and his sail plane in the air for a world's record of 36 hours and 35 minutes. Without a motor, mind you. This flight was not actually premeditated. One morning the breezes were blowing along the hills outside his home town, Konigsberg, so this fellow had some comrades help launch his plane. He had an idea he might be able to stay up until after lunch ... so he took along some drinking water and black bread. Lunch time came and he ate his bread . . . but still the up-currents kept him aloft. He peacefully glided along until supper time—but no supper. Those on the ground caught the idea that this might be anew world's record flight, so they encouraged to stay on. All that night and next morning he kept sailing back and forth, over a 50mile stretch. Passed another breakfast, another lunch and another supper .. . and Kurt Schmidt—that is the hero's name —began to think longingly of sauerkraut and beer, black bread and cheese. At dusk on the second day hunger and thirst and weariness conquered Kurt Schmidt ... a new sailplane record had been captured . . . and he finally came down. Third-six hours and a halw In the air without a motor compares very favorably with the best record we were able to establish a few years ago with the best engines and ships available. Question: Does Sweden have an air force? Yes—A separate unit flying all British planes with the exception of one pursuit ship, the Svenka “Jaktfalk.”
FIRST 100 YEARS ARE THE HAPPIEST, SAYS CITY WOMAN AT 102
A little bobbed-haired woman of a mere 102 years, Mrs. Sarah Jane Hidy, observed her birthday yesterday and commented that the first 100 years were the best. Mrs. Hidy lives with her daughter. Mrs. R. J. Nagle, 920 S. La Salle-st. “I have enjoyed my life until I reached 100. Since that time I have not enjoyed it as much.” Mrs. Hidy said. To prove that her memory was keen Mrs. Hidy recited a favorite hymn for the benefit of friends and relatives.

HUGE PROFITS NOT GOAL OF GAS FOUNDERS Firm Was to Allocate Its Surplus to Retire Common Stock. (Continued From Page One) should be placed in the hands of five trustees who should be stockholders resident in the city. These trustees are to hold the stock and vote it and annually elect nine directors. Any trustee who became an employe or holder of the securities of a competing company or who moved out of the city automatically would be disqualified as a trustee. Stock to Be Retired Disposition of the earnings, under the terms of this agreement, was to be as follows: 1. Payment of matured debts and operating expenses; 2. Payment in semi-annual installments of the 10 per cent dividend and all accrued dividends, and 3. Payment for extensions and betterments ordered by the Board of Works, the excess to be applied to the payment in whole or in part of the amounts subscribed for stock. This would seem clearly to establish the point that the company was not to accumulate any surplus as such, but was to allocate all earnings after matured debts, operating expenses, dividends and extensions and betterments to the retirement of the common stock in WHOLE OR IN PART. The United Supreme Court, about this time, decided that the city succeeded to the rights under the franchise with the Consumers Gas Trust Cos. and for a small consideration the city assigned and transferred to the new organization the franchise and its option to purchase the property of the Consumers Gas Trust Cos. 40,000 Shares Sold The embryonic Citizens Gas Cos. thereby acquired the property of the defunct enterprise, chiefly its distributing lines, for $406,000. With this as the nucleus the Citizens Gas Cos. was created. The preliminaries attended to. an intensive campaign was launched to sell the 40.000 shares of capital stock, which was to be the initial capitalization of the company. People were invited to buy the securities not on a strict investment basis but on the proposition that their contribution would help to prevent the city from being confronted with an increase in gas rates. Persons in all walks of life became stockholders. To J. D. Forrest, general manager of Citizens Gas, earned the distinction of owning certificate No. 1. More Stock Issued That particular term of the contract between the two parties relative to rates was made more secure the following year when the State Legislature passed a law which made it unlawful foi any company to charge and collect more than 60 cents a thousand cubic feet for gas in the city of Indianapolis. The Prospect plant of the Citizens Gas Cos. was completed and put in operation early in 1908. The plant produced gas, coke suitable for use in foundries and steel mills, ammonia, benzol, coal tar and oil tar. Within a short time, however, it was discovered that 600 British Thermal Units of heat could not be extracted so a water gas plant was installed to strengthen it. In 1911 the company displayed its first signs of growing pains by selling an additional 40,000 shares of common stock. This was sold at auction and yielded a premium of C 420.935 or more than 40 per cent above the $25 par value of the shares. However, by this time it had been.pretty well established that the common stack, because of the 10 per cent annual return it afforded, was an attractive investment. Tomorrow —The Indianapolis Gas Cos. lease.

ANTI-WAR, PATRIOTIC GROUPS SQUARE OFF FOR CAMPUS BATTLE
By United Press LOS ANGELES, March 13. The campus of the University of California at Los Angeles today became a “No Man’s Land” following a clash of “anti-war” and “patriotic” groups. Aroused by what was termed “widespread distribution of propaganda” literature by the pacifist students, Roy Olmstead, patriotic leader, recruited a group of “Americans” who raided the opposing faction’s headquarters and confiscated much of their material. ♦ Meanwhile the “patriotic” group served notice on the “pacifists” that a proposed “pacifist strike,” scheduled for April 12, would be stopped “by force if necessary” and the anti-war clan replied it was ready to go ahead with the demonstration “by force if necessary.” Stamp Club to Meet The Indiana Stamp Club will meet at the Lockerbie at S, Friday night.

HUEY ASKED TO TAKE TIME OUT FOR TALK IN CITY JULY FOURTH
If Huey Pierce Long, Louisiana's Kingfish, can find time between radio and Senate speeches, the National Progressive Party would like him to come to Indianapolis July 4 and address a “national mass meeting” of the party. The National Progressives, who have their headquarters in the front room of John Zahnd’s home, 3215 E. Troy-av. also would like to have Gov. Philip LaFollette, Wisconsin, and Rep. Finly H. Gray, (D., Ind.) the monetary sage of Ccnnersville, speak to them on that day. Recently, the Marion County organization of the party indorsed the Kingfish for president in 1936. Then, Mr. Zahnd, a real estate man, wrote letters to the papers explaining that his party, which he describes as the most powerful in the country? had not made its definite choice and that it would not until the July 4 meeting. Mr. Zahnd has been ics candidate twice. ASK MARTIAL LAW TO AVOID STRIKE VIOLENCE <OO Men Anxious to Continue Work Halted by Pickets. By United Press SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 13. -Overall-clad farmers and union men of other trades joined 600 pickets before the John Morrell Packing plant today while civic organizations and 500 non-striking employes of the plant begged Gov.

COLLEGIAN DEFENDS BMIOTING ON BORES Roosevelt Votes Political Prejudice, Is Claim. The Butler Collegian yesterday editorially excused as expression of “petty political prejudice” or as “a prank” the inclusion of six votes for President Roosevelt as the "greatest bore in the news” in a recent survey. The Collegian took The Indianapolis Times to task for having editorially chided as rah-rah-ish any expression that President Roosevelt, to whom the eyes of the world now are turned as he conducts a gigantic economic experiment, is a bore. The Collegian dismissed the in-
