Week- End Trip to Reconstructed Village of
Spring Mill Recommended by Auto Club
Massive Stone Grist MIL]
And Overshot Water Wheel Is Main Feature Of Historical Display.
The Hoosier * Automobile Club suggests a trip to Spring Mill State Park to the week-end motorist. This park combines a notable historical memorial with its 1100 acres of scenic beauty. At Spring Mill, one may see a reconstructed village, portraying pioneer industry and social life, and the restoration of crafts of a century ago, surrounded by virgin timber, unusual caverns, Donaldson
Cave and underground streams in
which the aquatic life is blind. The restored Spring Mill village was founded about 1816 by Cuthbert and Thomas Bullitt, friends of George Washington. These Virginians were merchants whose leadership made the village a thriving frontier trading post.
Museum on Two Floors The massive stone grist mill is
. operated by a 22-foot overshot water
wheel, turned by a cascade of water running down an elevated wooden flume. Two floors house a museum of tools, utensils and clothing of a century ago. The mill is operated in the summer time and tourists purchase thousands of pounds of corn meal, in small souvenir sacks, with the knowledge that the meal is prepared the same as it was years ago. Among the reconstructed buildings are the log tavern, in which refreshments are served, the postoffice, apothecary, cobbler shop, distillery, hat factory, nursery, school and several residences. Each is furnished in the period of 1816. A two-story loghouse in which settlers gathered to withstand the attacks of Indians, is a rare example of frontier fortification.
Illuminated at Night
‘The settlement, shaded by surat night by lights. in vogue when Spring Mill represented pioneer civilization. A reck garden marks the community center. The park is a few miles east of Mitchell. The best route from Indianapolis, the auto club .said, is Highway 37 to the junction of Highway 60, thence on Highway 60. The distance is 91 miles. Todd Stoops. secretary-manager of the club, is stressing the need of a campaign to educate drivers to reach for the brake instead of the horn. “One of the most offensive uses of the horn is that of trying to blast a host out of his hotise, to the annoyance of all the neighbors,” he said.
Sunday Closing Pact Extended by Dealers
The Sunday closing agreement of automobile agencies has been extended to include both new and used car dealers and salesmen in Indianapolis and Marion County, C O.- Warnock, Indianapolis Auto Trades Association president, an-s nounced today. . The agreement, announced following a meeting at the Hotel Antlers, is to begin Easter and also will apply to used car lots. Closing on legal holidays also was agreed.
Sears Roebuck Shows
Diesel-Driven Auto -
The Sears Roebuck Co. is to exhibit a sedan, equipped with a Diesel engine, from 12:30 to 6 p. m. tomorrow. ‘FP. P. McLellen of the Hemphill Diesel Schools will answer
“any questions.
On a recent test run by one of these cars, a distance of 547 miles was driven in 9 hours 10 minutes, consuming 20 gallons of fuel which cost 8 cents a gallon. Despite the

Com binations
There are 13,000 possible color combinations to meet the demands of new ‘car and truck buyers, according to Wilford A. Lindberg, ! Dodge color expert, who is operating a color calibrating rotator. for example, a Dodge truck buyer wants to visualize a white and red tone for his vehicle, Mr. Lindberg places the two color discs on: this machine and the rapidly whirling rotator blends the colors.

On another recent test run covering 3700 miles, $7 worth of fuel and lubrication were used. Covering a specific distance of 81 miles, exact1y two gallons of fuel was consumed, Mr. McLellen said. - He explained that this high mileage is obtainable only under favorable conditions of level country and consistent speed and that the normal average is 35 miles a gallon. No spark plugs or glow plugs are needed to start the engine, because the fuel oil, injected at 2500 pounds pressure, ignites immediately upon contact with the air in the combustion chamber.

WHEAT YIELD OF
17 BUSHELS PER
ACRE EXPECTED
Exceeds 1937 Production in |
State, Largely Due to Open Winter.
LAFAYETTE, April 15 (U, P)-— Indiana farmers will produce 34,408,000 bushels of wheat this year on the basis of April 1 indications, according to a report today by M. M. Justin, Purdue University agri-
of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Economics, The yield was estimated at 17
bushels per acre, two bushels more than last year and 1.4 bushels greater than the 10-year average from 1927. to 1936. The indicated production ‘is slightly less than last year but about: 24 per cent larger than the 10-year average. “The growth of winter wheat is materially advanced for the season due to the comparatively open winter and above normal temperatures and precipitation,” Mr. Justin said.
Condition Improves
“Usually the condition declines from Dec. 1 to April 1, but this year the condition has improved about as much as the hE Rye condition was given as 90 per cent of normal, 10 points above a year ago, pasture condition 90 per cent of normal, 26 points above a year ago. Justin estimated the April 1 stocks of wheat on Indiana farms at 4.513,000 bushels, 20 per cent above the 10-year average and about 71 per cent larger than last year. Corn on Indiana farms amounted to 47 per cent of last year’s large crop, or 93,398,000 bushels as compared with the 10-year average of 49,916,000 bushels. Mr. Justin said this is about 15 per cent larger than
Oats stocks amounted to 30 per cent of last year’s crop, which is about 9 per cent less than the 10year average. ‘The average production of eggs per hen and gallons of milk per cow was slightly higher than last year, he reported. Farm wages were about the same as a year ago.

By JOE COLLIER HE following , valuable . research into what is funny to whom was completed last night at the Indianapolis Advertising ClubJudge magazine dinner fof work-
‘ing Indiana humorists, and is hereby released to the lay public: - | #
The meeting was at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and was in celebration of the 57th year of the magazine's life. It lasted until the chicken dinner was digested and the cocktails had become hangovers. : From Harry Newman, Judge publisher, it was learned that to'a publisher the funniest thing in the world is to pay a. contributor with due bills on a hotel instead of in cash. Toner Overly, “Better Business Bureau head, tried ta put the advertising men in stitches by reciting a long list of claims by ad-
vertising men for their products
which he said were funny because they were impossible. A team of advertising men, on the other hand, contrived to have two telegrams read petitioning the chairman not to allow Mr. Overly to speak at all. Several newspapermen amused themselves by asking each other what the meeting was all about and pretending they were innocent victims when- fully two months ago they had accepted invitations in writing. The I. A. Cs idea of humor was to park another meeting within° hearing distance where the speakers really must have been funny, judging from the howls of laughter that seeped in. =
