| specifications, according to George | Rooker, Plan Commission secretary, | would require lots to have frontages \ of 100 and 75 feet, respectively. “The new amendment applies only to future developments,” Mr. Rooker said. “It is not retroactive in any respect. We hope it will stimulate building by giving home builders a greater degree of security against the intrusion of cheaper property or rental property.”

Bigger Front Yard Required

Under the old ordinance, maximum requirements in high-priced vesidential areas were 7500 and 4800 square feet. These necessitated 50 and 40-foot frontages, respectively. _ The new measure provides that the property line shall be “determined by 10 per cent cf the property in a block, instead of 50 per cent as at present; that one-third of a lot shall be used as a front yard, instead of one-fifth, and that hospitals and commercial = enterprizes may -be erected in existing Zones. © In awarding contracts for City Hospital food supplies, Councilmen said they would continue their campaign against price increases in certain foodstuffs, begun a month ago. “Original City Hospital food bids, submitted at that time and rejected as “too high,” totaled $4842.92. New bids, = received Saturday, were $4225.64. While new prices were lower by $617.28 than the original bid prices, a tabulation showed they were higher than prices quoted last July 24. Low bidders included three Indianapolis and four out-of-town firms. - : Awards ‘Are Made

_ Awards were made to the J. P. Michael Co., the J. C. Perry Co. and the C. A. .Schrader Co., all of Indianapolis; the Sprague-Warner Co, the Durant-McNeil-Horner Co. and Reid, Murdoch & Co. all of Chicago, and the L. H. Parke Co., Philadelphia. t The Council also ratified a contract providing police and fire protection for Woodruff Place for one year for $7000. Ordinances were approved prohibiting parking on Merrill St., from Madison Ave. to Pennsylvania St.; transferring $1000 from one Works Board fund to another, and annexing a part of the Sarah Shank Golf Course to the City proper.

Orphans’ Circus Elephant Is Slain After Rampage

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—Louis Meitus, the Chicago lumberman, who set out to buy a pony for his children and wound up buying a

defunct circus, sadly gave orders to

and polish the tusks of Billy Sunday, the beloved elephant of Los Angeles

orphans.

Billy Sunday, the delight of the orphaned children for whom Mr.

Meitus has been giving free performances of his circus the past few years, went berserk and had to be executed yesterday. The execution took three hours. Billy Sunday had lost 1000 pounds in a month's illness but he still had tremendous strength and vitality left in his emaciated threeton’ body. He hurled logs at his trainer, tore .down fences and broke up a small building in his

final rampage.

Bullets Are Effective While Mr. Meitus looked on sorrowfully, Billy Sunday was chained to a tree and fed a last meal of bananas, apples and bread saturated with enough cyanide to kill a hundred humans. The elephant reeled groggily but kept his feet. Then two humane society officers took aim a few steps out of range of Billy Sunday’s trunk and sent two 30-30 bullets into his brain. They had tried poison first because they feared the shots would not be effective. But the big elephant swung his head, wavered and dropped, dead. Gives Shows for Orphans Mr. Meitus acquired Billy Sunday along with the rest of a bankrupt circus when he drove up to Sheybogan, Wis., to buy a Shetland pony for. his children. The auctioneer insisted he buy all five .of the circus’ ponies, or none. Mr. Meitus gave way to a boyhood yen and bought the whole circus, tent, clowns and cages. He operates it as a hobby, at his own expense, and for the benefit ‘of ‘this city’s orphaned children.

CASS COUNTY OFFICIAL AND FARMER IS DEAD

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct. 17.— Robert H. Hunter, president of the Cass County Board of County Commissioners, died here yesterday. He was 63.

—An answer to the mystery of arthritis and” stiff joints in the aged was claimed today by Dr. Kendall B. Corbin, associate professor of the University of Tennessee Medical School. Experiments with cats and monkeys convinced Dr. Corbin that loss of nerve cells in aged persons causes arthritis and stiff joints. His subjects’ are anatomy, histology and embryology. Dr. Corbin said he had had posi-

- tive results in experiments in which

he duplicated aged persons’ normal physical condition in cats and monkeys. His experiments were believed to be the first of their kind. Dr. Corbin began his study on this theory:

BUSINESS HERE NEAR NORMAL

Payrolls, Employment Show Upturn, Report by C. of C. Shows.

Increased business activity in Indianapolis during September resulted in a marked upturn in both employment and payrolls, the Chamber of Commerce monthly report disclosed today. “According to the report, Indianapolis business is only 2 per cent below normal. Only four other cities in the country made a better show

ing for September. They are Terre Haute, Ind., which was 2 per cent above normal; Albuquerque, N. M.; Austin, Tex., and Green Bay, Wis. each reported as 1 per cent below normal.

Tops Year Ago Figure

Weekly payrolls of 584 firms during September totaled $1,029,001, an increase of $44,577 over August and $104,825 higher than during September a year ago, the report said. The same firms employed 41,161 persons last month, an increase of 2050, or 5.2 per cent more than the previous month and 10.2 per cent above September a year ago. All-time high records were set in electric ‘power and industrial gas consumption. Power consumption last month was 1,188,599 kilowatt hours-more than during August and 4,511,095 more than during September, 1938.

Bank Clearings Up

Gas consumption was 5,465,900 cubic feet more last month than in August and 8,319,800 more than the same month a year ago. Other barometers of Indianapolis business last month included an increase of. $3,360,000 in bank clearings over August and $7,254,000 over September a year ago; a $4076 increase in postal receipts compared to a year ago; 6417 more telephones in service; and. an increase of 507

Robert McDaniel of Indiana, still aloft over“Muncie, after more than 382 hours, but 72:hours in arrears of the California team, shall be credited with the light plane endurance record. Both Smash Mark

Both teams have smashed the old mark set by the Moody brothers ‘of Springfield, Ill, at 343 hours and 46 minutes,’ while flying a land plane. It is the difference in the types of planes flown by the present contestants which provoked the controversy. : Baxter and McDaniels are aloft in a light Cub monocoupe equipped with wheels; Shleipper and Carroll are flying a land plane but it has pontoons instead of wheels. The Indiana pair claim this nullifies the Californians claim to the record set by the Moodys.

Hoosiers Report ‘Settlement’

“But we're flying over land, and beating the record,” read a .note dropped by Shleipper-Carroll on the floor of Rosamond dry lake over which they are soaring. The Muncie fliers said the argument had already been decided by the Civil Aeronautics Authority which ruled the Shleipper-Carroll ship a seaplane and thus gave the land plane record to Indiana. A split-record was reported to be under consideration. The Indiana team would be given the land record and the Californians the sea-,

plane record. What the seaplane rec-

ord is, the fliers said they had no learned yet. : A third team dropped from the

race. Troy Colboch and Jerry Keéley,

who had been aloft over Santa Ana, Cal, for 12 days, were forced to land yesterday when a door of their cabin ripped away and gashed .a wing. It had been their third attempt.

WARNS OF EUROPEAN WAR'S EFFECT HERE

“The United States, because of the European war, soon must revise its industries on a smaller production. scale,” according to E.. J. Unruh, director of Midwest Council on International Relations. Mr. Unruh spoke yesterday at an open forum sponsored by the Council at the L. S. Ayres & Co. auditorium. “Europe soon will be so devastated that there will be. an. increasingly

manufactured goods,” Mr. Unruh said. “To uphold the economic structure of this country: we must cultivate the friendship of. South American nations and Mexico.”

YEAR'S UTILITY RATE DROP SAVES MILLION

Utility rate reductions ordefed by the Public Service Commission during the last fiscal year amounted to an annual savings to consumers of about $1,334,146, according to a report compiled by Harold C. Mull, Commission secretary. The biggest share of the reductions went to light users whose annual bill in all parts of Indiana was cut $912,286, the report stated: Reductions in telephone rates amounted to $250,640 annually, gas rates. were trimmed $58,027 and
