SPURGEON, Ind. Oct. 3—Even more interesting to me than coal-mining itself is the blasting they do to loosen up the solid layers of rock that overlie the coal. The Enos. Coal Co. blasts entirely with liquid oxygen. That's the same stuff Mr. Barlow used in his bomb. If isn't especially new, but it was new to me. The Enos Co. makes its own supply, in a plant which cost $125,000 to build. That's a lot of money, but when you consider that this one company alone would use around $200,000 worth of dynamite a year if it still used dynamite, you .can see it was a good investment.: Liquid oxygen is made-from ordinary air. The process is far too complicated for me to explain. : But, through compression and cooling and distilling, they finally get a liquid that’s full of energy and pep and crazy ideas, and that liquid is called liquid oxygen, or “L-O-X,” as .the
Xx
To make an explosive, they take a canvas sa I looks like a big sausage. They fill this with powdered charcoal, Then they pour liquid oxygen over it. The combination sets up a process that produces gas. Now, the odd part is that this gas won't go off unless it is detonated by an electric charge. So it is really safer than any other explosive they could use.
Some Astonishing Facts
Drillers have been drilling holes into the rock with big electric machines—holes bigger than a coffee can, and sometimes 50 feet back into the solid bank of rock. Then they ram about 10 of these “cartridges” into the hole, fix electric wires to one of them, get everything clear, and give her the charge. The first one that explodes sets off the rest. They say it is more efficient than dynamite, as well as cheaper and safer. And here’s another thing. If a charge fails to go off they don't have to jitter around, scared to death of it, as though it were a delayed-action bomb. They
IT’S ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE—but we’ll vouch for it. You'l say it couldn’t happen, except maybe 1n a book. But here it is:
A certain girl secretary at the Indiana Health | Board had a hobby. It was writing love stories for | the “pulp” magazines. She wrote | many of them—and it was a | . profitable hobby. It consider- | ably augmented her income and gave her a great deal of pleasure and self-satisfaction. Well, our heroine decided to write a novel, and she titled it “This ime It's Real” Mean- | time, fro had accumulated | enough; money from her lovestory writing to take a cruise to Hawaii. I On the cruise she met a very | ; wealthy man. (You see, we | warned you that it was’ just like a book.) They be- | came better acquainted. By the end of the cruise they were engaged. Now they are married. i And incientally, the novel, “This Time It's Real,” | has ‘been accépted for publication. Uh-huh. We told you you ‘wouldn't believe it. But honest— Her name was Wright and his is Shakespeare.

just go away and leave it for four hours, and in that time the thing has completely dissipated itself, and is no more harmful than a bag of beans. Gene Utterback, the company’s production engineer, took me through the plant that makes the liquid oxygen. They drew off about a quart of the stuff into a coffee can, and we took it outdoors and monkeyed with it. : i This liquid oxygen looks just like water; maybe a little bluer. Its temperature is 297 degrees below zero! It's so cold that if you put your finger in it, and ‘held it for five seconds, you'd very likely lose your finger. And’ yet the stuff bubbles and boils all the time. “Why, it’s boiling,” T said to Mr. Utterback in amazement. “Sure, it's boiling,” he said. * “Buf, it's 297 degrees below zero.” I said. “Yes,” he said, “that's the boiling point of liquid oxygen.” - 1 gave my head a couple of whactks on the side, like a groggy prize-fighter, thinking maybe that would clear the situation for me. Finally I did pretend to understand it, but I really don't at all.
A Few Bad Moments
| . Mr. Utterback got a piece of rubber tubing about the size of a lead pencil. Just plain rubber hose, [wobbly and flexible. He stuck one end of it in the [liquid oxygen and held it there for maybe a minute. | Then he took it out and whacked it on a rock. And, do you know, the end of that tube broke right off, just like an icicle. It was frozen absolutely solid. Then he lit a match and threw it into the can. I almost passed away. But Mr. Utterback assured me you could: not explode it by any manner or means unless it had first been mixed with charcoal. The match whirled and danced around like a Fourth of July sparkler, and burned for a long time, drunk on oxygen. When we were all through, Mr. Utterback picked | up the can (he handled it with a rag in his hand) and [threw the contents on the ground. For a few mo- | ments a mistwlike fog—rose from the spot. When it | cleared, there was no evidence at all of anything | having been thrown there. It was liquid, but it didn’t wet the ground. It turned into gas, and floated back into the air-where it came from!
Seriously. Uncle Sam isn't fooling about this defense business.
Oh—We're Copy-Cats
AND SPEAKING OF OUR FORT. here's something else’ you probably didn’t know. Indiana has had two Ft. Harrisons—and ours was the copy-cat, Way back in 1811, or thereabouts, a Ft. Harrison was established on the Wabash River near Terre Haute. It was named after Gen. William Henry Harrison, hero of Indian fighting afd ninth President of the United States. One of its most distinguished alumni was Capt. Zachary Taylor, who, it turns out,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 3—American newspapers have designated this as National Newspaper week in order to emphasize anew the importance of a free | press.
As a writer IT am one of the journeymen in the business, one of the hired hands, | as distinguished from the manage- | ment. I have noted what critics | have said aboat the press, about : distortion and suppression of news, and about business-office control. The critics have not always been wrong. Everyone in the business knows that there are times when the press is its own worst enemy,’ Throughout my life, beginning with my school days, I have made my living in journalism, and as long as my legs hold out I expect to do so. Journalism has given. me rewards, both spiritual and material, far beyond my early expectations. For that I am and always shall be humbly grateful. : I look about and discover that I have much more freedom than most people in other lines of work. How many, many instances have occurred in the daily observation of all of us when we see that people in other walks of life are subjected to pressure which

My Day
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass, Wednesday.—We started off from the Westbrook, Conn., under gray skies yesterday morning, and before long the first drops of rain appeared on our windshield. It rained off and on all day. Curiously enough, it cleared sufficiently for us. to have lovely cloud effects with the most beautiful blending of grayish pink in the sky, which colored the water as well. I stopped in Fall River, Mass., for I wanted to see Mrs. Louis Howe. I was lucky enough to find her at the postoffice. She took us up to her newly acquired home on the top of the ridge which overlooks the river. I am always deeply interested in seeing any of my friends’ homes, so this was a nice: break in our long drive. In Fairhaven we drove through the streets of the old town in order to get a glimpse of the homestead built by my mother-in-law’s grand - father, and ‘which has always been a place of reunion for my husband’s family. We stopped under a big pine tree outside of Marion and ate our lunch in the car, for just at that moment
"the. rain was coming down quite steadily. Then we ~ ‘gtarted on our drive up the cape, taking the South
times—enthusiastic North Side youths already are canvassing their neighborhoods for Christmas wreath orders. ... . Tsk . .. tsk .. . And it's only October. too, with both of the Thanksgivings still coming up!

of his own mind out of his own observation. The real dictator in this country, the real foe of free thought | and free speech, is that subtle censor which we all! know and feel but seldom recognize in public, Compared with that network of restraints which operates upon people in so many walks of life, the working newspaperman lives in a paradise of freedom. Some newspapers have suffered loss of influence because they have sought to use their power to present a one-sided, distorted picture of controversial affairs. More and more editors are opening their papers to full presentation of all viewpoints. They are doing it without devitalizing their own editorial page. On the contrary this open-house policy is giving new strength to the editorial page. For there, on the same page with the editorials, or on the page opposite, will be found letters from readers taking more or less violent exception to the editorials.
The "Battle Pages’
They are paying out their hard-earned money to|
buy syndicated columns which are written independently of the individual editorial policy. More than ‘50 newspapers. during this campaign are printing a “battle page” on which an equal amount of space is given each day to the Democratic and Republican campaign organizations. I am less concerned about ithe freedom of the press than I am about the freedom of the reader. Let the reader be tolerant, open-minded, interested in hearing both sides. That's the way to have a free press. You won’t keep a free press with a public that only throws cantaloupes at somebody it disagrees with. When the public no longer wants free discussion, when it no longer wants to hear what, the other fellow _has to say and simply throws tomatoes at him, then you are working into a state of mind which points toward the end not only of a free press but of all free institutions. Egg-throwers make dictators. % The lady who threw the wastebasket at Willkie will get something worse than Roosevelt or Willkie if her state of mind becomes a national state of mind. Those are the kind of people who have quit thinking and want somebody to tell them who to throw eggs at.

Shore Road. I like the cape, and I think Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown have a delightful atmosphere. We reached Provincetown early enough to drive slowly through the streets and around Land’s End. The rain stopped and .we enjoyed a view out to sea .and the litile narrow streets. We spent the night at a little inn where we could get breakfast but no dinner, so we sallied forth for a walk and ended up at the “Flagship” where we had a’ very good seafood dinner. Every effort is made in this restaurant to make you feel that you are on board ship. The kar even is built to look like the side of a ship, and iife-preservers, ship's lanterns, etc., Jaang from the rafters. You pass a very attractive charcoal grill on the way in, but the most attractive spot in the big room is the enormous fireplace, where .a roaring fire lights all the corners. This is a friendly world and before long, the lady who runs this restaurant came to speak to me. Then a lady at a table behind me told me she came from Nyack. N. ¥., and a man from Truro said he was a local reporter for the New York Times. , We are driving back along thé North Shore toflay Over the radio yesterday, we heard the sad news of ' Col. Harrington's death. It was really a great shock, for I thought of him as a young man and had not realized that he was seriously ill. It is sad to lose him, for good men can never be spared without regret
By Richard Lewis HE Hon. Reginald H. Sullivan, Mayor. of the City of Indianapolis, is not in his office. No, he won't
be in this morning, It's easy, if you know where to look. He's at home in his Illinois St. bachelor apartment. He's sitting in his overstuffed leather chair, by the window where the light is best. He’s smoking the pipe a friend gave him many years ago—sitting there in his shirtsleeves, looking up from his book to gaze out, of the window, out as far as the smoke stacks of West Indianapolis, half hidden in the morning gloom. ] From this easy chair, encircled by piles of newspapers, books magazines and legal documents, the Mayor is running the City of Indianapolis with its nearly 400,000 people. ~ ” ~
EVEN stories above the street, he works and meditates in silence. It is the kind of silence in which the dull roar of the world’s greatest inland city loses itself, as a shadow merges into darkness. ; : ~ The Mayor likes his chair by the window better than his elaborate City Hall office. He likes to look down .on the City as he studies its needs. It spreads fanwise below him, a geometric pattern of gray black roofs and masonry, cut through with shallow canyons. And beyond, the silver thread of White River and the smoky pall of mighty industries. This is his City. The City his father, who was Mayor before him, and his grandfather helped ~ to mold.

At City Hall—
GUTS IN SALARY
HERE
Earning $100 a Month or Less May Be Exempt.
By RICHARD LEWIS Unable to find another way out thus far, City officials hav: reached the tentative conclusion that employees’ salaries. must be cut next year to help make up the impending municipal deficit. Officials have not yet decided how drastic the cuts will be. However,
ployees who make $100 a month or less or who are paid on an hourly rate basis will be exempt. Also outside the orbit of the egonomy ax will be the salaries of elected and most appointed officials, which are fixed by statute. The deficit, set about bhelween $250,000 and $300,000 by the Tax| Adjustment Board, was the result] of a hookkeeping error by which the City failed to provide funds to pay temporary loans. Other economies are expected to be made in equipment. purchases and municipal improvements. But these will not be decided until sometime next year, when officials will be in a better position to judge what improvements and purchases are most needed. As far as is now known, no municipal jobs, including the sinecures, are to be eliminated.
Pilots Protest Rocks
For several weeks, local airmen have been complaining about the rocks which fringe the runways at Municipal Airport. Placed. there to facilitate drainage, the frocks, airmen claim, are caught up by landing wheels and batter the wheel
pants (fenders). The initial complaint was made by Louis Schwitzer Jr., who brought badly - damaged fender to City Hall to show officials. Col. Roscoe Turner also has complained, claiming the landing gears churn up- the rocks which fly through fuselage linen, hend tail wheels. In the past few weeks, he told the Board, his planes have been damaged by flying rocks to the tune of $200 a week.
Easement for Watermains
The Works Board and the residents of E. 38th St. have worked | out their problem of right-of-way | for the extension of watermains to new developments. The City had asked the residents for a five-foot easement on their property between Adams and Emerson Aves. Residents balked at first, fearing that laying of the water mains would damage shrubs and trees on their property. Yesterday, however, they consented to give the City a four-foot easement and the Works Board agreed to the compromise. The mains will service new residences being constructed east of Emerson Ave. and also bring water to those who granted the easement. For every foot of one-inch pipe the Water Co. installs, the City pays an annual rental of 11 mills.
Personnel Shifted.
At the Sanitation Plant, personnel shifts have been made because of the resignation of R. I.. Haynes, mechanic, who has taken a job with the Allison Engineering Co. He will be succeeded by William O. Norris, sewage plant operator,’ at $1482.12 a year, Mr, Norris, in turn, will be succeeded by Vern Klinger, garbage plant employee, at $1182.12 a year. The garbage plant vacancy ‘has not

4 Let's Be Better Members of | That Great Club, U.S. A.
By EDNA FERBER AUTHOR OF “MOTHER KNOWS BEST,”
“SHOW BOAT,” “CIMARRON,” ETC.
(Twenty-Second of a series of articles by
24 authors)
it is now fairly certain that em-|.
Everybody wants to belong. From birth our instinct is to join with someone or something that will sustain and reassure us. While were infants we want to belong to our parents and our home. To these we cling for physical and economic and mental support. Then we branch out in a search for further assurance. We join a school, a gang, a club, a guild, a religious sect, a business group, a profession, a union. And we work for them.
How we work for them, We Americans are the greatest
joiners in the Edna world. Perhaps Ferber it’s our newness and_our feeling of insecurity that makes this so. But it is true. And how we work for our own group. We pay dues, we pay special assessments, we plan benefits, build places of meeting, try to gain new members, vote, appoint or elect. officers, criticize, praise, talk shop. We belong. Lawyers, doctors, writers, artisans, engineers, teachers, students, laborers, designers, merchants — how we love to belong! ) ; But that biggest club of all, that vast and inclusive union to which every one of us belongs— that one we have lately got into the habit of treating with neglect, or contempt, or disrespect or mere carelessness. The strongest and most sustaining organization in the world, to which we here in America have been: privileged to affiliate ourselves, has been allowed, by the great majority of us. to .get along as best it could without our help.
That club, union, guild, home,
refuge is known as the United |
States of America. Its dues are called taxes, its officers are called president, senator, congressman, governor, mayor, and many more titles. Its passwords are freedom and liberty and equality, and the organization lives up to its slogan, though its individual members frequently do not. Its members keep pushing fel-low-members in the face. They want to belong, but they don't want to work at it. So, then,
little by little, with magnificent
help from Hitler and Stalin, we have built a fine machine of destruction, we have bred a gang whose object is to destroy our
guild, our union. One section of
the country has been stirred up against another; religion has been set against religion, class against class, national origin against national origin. The very worst thing that could possibly happen to Hitler would be to see a United States of America—really united. There are certain things I've seen and seen in the last five or ten years, and I'm sick of seeing. them. I'm resentful of .seeing labor set against labor, two camps defying each other through their power-hungry leaders. Why doesn’t labor, as one man, stand up on its legs and say which it wants and what it wants, and then function again as the thing it truly is— the most vital muscle in the whole body of America—the heart that pumps the life blood through the United States:
__The ‘vast majoritysof us hate the
plan on which the German government is conducted, we despise the conduct of the Italian dictator and his crew. We have here in the United States, according to recent and reliable figures, between 15 and 20 millions of Germans and ‘about 5 millions of Italians. They and their children aren’t here because they found Germany and Italy too perfect. They came because they wanted more freedom or more money or. more peace than they could get in their own country. And with very few exceptions they want to belong.
| With deep sincerity they want to
belong. But there is this strange new Hitler-spawned tendency |to call them foreigners. What are we all but foreigners! What is a foreigner in America? Albert Einstein? Paul Robeson? Thomas Mann? Jascha Heifetz? Carl Schurz? Or are the foreigners exemplified in those countless millions who, over the past century, have built the railroads that criss-cross the country,. the skyscrapers that are the original architectural form produced by| us here? The reservoirs that furnish our water supply, the mammoth dams that make the building! of the Egyptian Pyramids seem child’s play done with blocks, the great steel ingots turned out white-hot in the steel mills, all, all done by the toiling hands of refugees. For they were refugees, though they may not have come |to America in war time. They came here for refuge from oppression or poverty, or persecution, or militarism, or some form | of frustration. They came, and they want to belong, and they have the right to belong. Some are strong in talent and in intellect; some are strong in muscle. We need them as much as they need us. More! They want to join the club and pay their dues and vote. And if we don't welcome them to these privileges then they'll turn | to another club that will. Its name
| may be Naziism or Communism.
But the fault will be ours. They knew what they were talking about—those cold boys—when they coined a lot of phrases. They weren’t hollow phrases. They rang true. United We Stand. Divided We Fall. In Union There |Is Strength. One and Indivisible. As the United States of America we can surmount these next 10 years that are looming so ferrifying ahead. As the Divided States | of America we never can. We are listening for that Voice —a Voice to lead us out of the wilderness - of doubt and uncertainty and apprehension. We need only realize that the Voice is within each one of us if we have the courage and the spirit to speak.
