What Do America's Workers Think About Roosevelt? The Republican Outlook? Their Wages and Living Conditions? Unemployment? The Tide of Recovery? Again Frazier Hunt, famous globe trotting reporter, has done a distinguished piece of writing. This time he’s been having intimate talks with America’s industrial workers, their families and their bosses in the East and Middle West. Under the title 0f... "Listening to Industrial America" ... Hunt gives you in six brilliant articles, a sharply focused picture of the way the workers feel about the political situation and their own economic conditions. Follow these articles for the real “low down” on 1936. ‘Listening to Industrial America” Begins MONDAY in The Indianapolis Times

WILL THESE FREAK AIRPLANES FLY? INVENTORS ANSWER 'YES’

INGENUITY of our present day inventors of aircraft, as we have pictured in this "Planes of the Future” series, should give ambitious builders of models of new designs many potent ideas. Almost in every instance the inventor of the craft have toyed with models first before expanding upon their ideas in larger ships. Upon this stream of progressive ideas the ship of the future is bound to be built. Perhaps, it will take many, many crafts, but from someone or several, features will be taken and expanded upon until they are found practical. Take T. R. Dring's latest idea, pictured in photo No. 1 above. It's what he calls an insect plane. He is convinced that ordinary planes are built on wrong principles. His machine has two sets of rotor vanes, motor-driven, each projecting a stream of compressed air under the fuselage. The plane in No. 2 looks as though it were landing, but it's really taking off. The plane is

constructed in such a way, according to the engineers, that it can neither stall nor spin. No. 3 certainly is an odd-looking craft, known as the “Mono-Dirig-ible,” and built by Frank Bolger. the ship is of all-metal construction and has propellers fore and aft. The inventor of ship No. 4 utilized the principle of the schoolboy’s paper dart in building his "Last Laugh.” Starting from a point in front, the body is diamond shaped with a wing attached to the center

TIMES FLIERS WILL EXHIBIT PLANESDEC, 7 Newest Designs to Mark Display of Tiny Craft for Public. Hundreds of model airplanes of all sizes, description and design are to be on public display at Tomlin- : son Hall, Saturday, Dec. 7, when The Indianapolis Times Junior! Aviator Squadron stages its model | airplan° and aircraft exposition. i The ali-day show will open at 9 in the morning and continue until ! 10 at night. It is expected to be the largest showing of model planes ever held here. Model plane builders are now arranging club displays, and individual fliers are to enter the “best model contest” in the afternoon. Be- ' sides these, ingenius young model j builders are preparing to enter a ; freak model event. The most accurate replica of the freak and experimental planes, pictured in The Times, are to be awarded prizes. In addition to Junior Aviator Club displays local dealers and many of the national manufacturers of model planes will show' the newest design in miniature aircraft and equipment. Efforts are being made to obtain motion pictures on aviation. Although the large crowd may prohibit the flying of the tiny crafts it is believed means will be foum to hold one exhibition flying contest. Membership to The Times Squadron increased by 26 this week. Twenty-three members of the newly organized Mayer Chapel Club have already received their cards. Members from Mayer Chapel Club: Charles Robert, Marion Reedy, Ralph Woods, James Davis, Renzie Dillard, Raymond Wagner, Marion Wagner, Ernest Honeycutt, Leo Honeycutt, Harry Adams, Michael Purvis, John Lovell, Paul Roberts, Billy Bunting, Raymond Herman, Orville Whitehed.

BEGIN HF RE TODAY Jean Dunn, secretary to Donald Montague. lawyer, delays her answer when Bobby Wallace, automobile salesman, asks Jean to marry him At The Golden Feather night club she meets Sandy Harkins, whose business connection is vague. Sandy introduces Bobby and Jean to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis and Bobby arranges to sell some bonds {or Lewis. He sells them to Jean's employer. Larrv Glenn. Federal agent, long a friend of Jean's parents, is trying to locate Wingy Lewis, bank robber. Larry locates some stolen bonds and questions Sonny Boyd, gambler, about them. Boyd confesses he bought the bonds from Donald Montague. Montague tells Larry he bought them from Bobby. Larry talks to Bobby, learns Lewis bought a car recently and suspects it is armored Federal men go to Lewis’ hotel, but he and his wife have disappeared. Asa joke. Larry takes Jean's fillerprints. She quarrels with Bobby over Sandy. Jean sets out for a vacation visit to her home town. A few days before she had told police Sandy was with her at the time of a robbery.’ Jean suddenly realizes this was not true. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO JEAN DUNN returned to her parents’ home In the little town of Maplehurst in a sadly confused state of mind. The sudden realization which had come to her on the train —the discovery that she had made a mistake when she told the police that Sandy had been with her on the afternoon of the robbery—disturbed her deeply. It was Sandy, she remembered, who had led her to believe that that canoe trip of theirs had taken place on Friday, not on Thursday. What had he said? Something to the effect that he was sure of the date because Eve Lewis had had a birthday party that night. Jean remembered that she had paved the way for his little trick by asking him what day of the week they had met; how easy she had made it for him! And then she remembered something else. That funny little man frem the boathouse, from whom they had rented the canoe—he had been brought down to police headquarters by Mr. Montague, and he, too, had said that the affair took place on a Friday. Had he got mixed up, too? But Mr. Montague, surely, would not get a witness to testify falsely. He was a prominent and respected lawyer, a leader of the bar, every one called him —he must have been mixed up, himself. Yet no matter how much she mulled the whole business over in her mind, Jean could not come to any definite conclusion about it. At one moment she would be thinking that Sandy, like herself, was simply the victim of an honest mistake; at another, she would feel that he had willfully deceived her which, of course, must mean that he was not at all the sort of chap she had thought him to be. a u u AND yet, although this mental turmoil stayed with her through the rest of her train trip, she found, after a day or so, that it was losing its power to bother her. Maplehurst was a long way from Dover. When Jean walked along the quiet, maple-shaded streets of the little town, or sat in the living room with her father and mother, or stopped to chat with this or that old acquaintance of her younger days, it was hard to believe that anything that happened in Dover mattered so very much, after all. So she managed to put the w'hole difficult question in the back of her mind, where she mentally tagged it as something to be investigated when she got back. Maplehurst was not a large place; the bank of which her father was president was only three

blocks from the old-fashioned, white-pillared house that had been the Dunn home for two generations. Jean fell into a habit she had acquired during her college vacation days; she would stroll down to the bank, along toward noon, go into her father's office, and wait for him to finish his morning's work so that she could take him home for lunch. She was sitting on the corner of his desk, on the morning of her third day in Maplehurst. waiting for him to complete a telephone call, when she chanced to notice, through the open doorway, that some workmen were being very busy in the lobby of the bank. She watched them, trying to figure out what they were doing. It all seemed to center about the grilled window of the cashier's- cage, where the men were splicing wires, drilling holes in the floor and otherwise being exceedingly active. "Dad?’ she said, when he hung up the receiver, "what are those men doing out there?” Mr. Dunn peeked out the door, and leaned back in his chair complacently. "Tear gas.” he said briefly. "It’s anew form of insurance against bank robbers.” 'Tear gas?” she repeated. "How do you mean?” He pushed back his chair and got up. "Come on in,” he said, "and I'll show you.” a a a THEY walked across the lobby. went through an iron grill, and into the cashier's cage. Mr. Hobart, the cashier, bowed when Jean entered, stroked his lean chin, and said to Mr. Dunn, "Well, they're almost finished.” "See?” said Mr. Dunn. "Under the counter there are three little cylinders—see them? There's tear gas in them, under pressure, with concealed outlets on the lobby side of the counter. Now, you see where that man is installing that button effect, in the floor?” He pointed, and Jean nodded. The worker looked up and grinned. "That,” said her father, “is what touches them off. Step on that, and the lobby’d be full of tear gas in 10 seconds. Now then, suppose this Jackson gang pays us a visit. They come up to the wicket, here, and point a gun at Mr. Hobart and tell him to put up his hands. He obeys, of course; but as he does so he reaches out with his foot—whicn they can’t see him do, because he’s only visible from the waist up to any one on that side of the counter —he reaches out and touches that button. Whoof! Out comes th<* tear gas. and there's nothing for the bandits to do but run. Neat, isn’t it?” She looked at the contrivance, wide-eyed. % "But you’ve never had any robbers down here,” she said. It was impossible to imagine any sort of violence In Maplehurst. Her father agreed. "That doesn't mean we never will have any, though,” he said. “People like these Jackson gangsters seem to specialize in robbing small-town banks. And we have to be especially careful, because of tUie pottery plant pay roll.” Six miles away there was a large factory, devoted to the manufacture of almost everything in the earthenware line from tiny flower vases up to great sections of sewer pipe in which a man could stand upright. A sprawling, slatternly town sur-

rounded it and housed its workers; but the factory banked in Maplehurst. because one of its directors was a leading stockholder in the Maplehurst bank, and every other Saturday an armored car came o\ er to Maplehurst. just before noon, and got the factory pay roll. "I'll feel better, with this tear gas installation in in time for tins coming Saturday,” said her father, as they left the cage and started off for home. "I've really been nervous lately, thinking how unprotected we are down here. But a puff of that tear gas is stronger than any gangster's automatic. We re safe, now.” They walked slowly' home, through the pleasant warmth of early summer, and after lunch Jean walked back to the bank with her father, her hand slipped through his arm. chatting aimlesslv and affectionately. When he went into the bank again she started leisurely down the street, planning to stop in at a little confectionery shop just beyond the Palace Hotel and visit with the little old lady who had once been her Sunday School teacher. (To Be Continued! UNCASHED WARRANTS INDICATE PROSPERITY County Auditor Grossart Thinks It Sign of Better Times. Ts unrashtd warrants are anv gauge, citizens of Marion County are climbing out of the depression. County Auditor Charles A. Grossart said today. Noticing in the newspapers that Treasurer Ben Thompson of Walla Walla, Wash., boasted that several warrants made out since June had not been cashed. Mr. Grossart announced that there are uncashed warrants dating back before 1930 in Marion County. "Since I've been in office we hat e had several warrants for odds-and-ends that have never been cashed," Mr. Grossart said.
