Inside Indianapolis
UNION STATION restaurant personnel are burned
up at some misguided prankster who diimped salt in
all the sugar bowls. Ont of our agents who gulped .down some of the salty coffee said a waitress told “him they'd had to throw away almost 15 pounds “of hard-to-get sugar, The comments the restaurant employees and the customefs who were on the butt end of the joke made about the prankster were almost as salty as the sugar. . Miss Esther King of 1306: Sturm ave. had quite ‘a thrill on her vacation trip East. On.a train she ran into Harry “The Horn” James. She's still rubbing stardust out of her eyes after meeting the famous band leader. She'd better not tell it around out at R.

Virginia Groves, 2823 Winthrop ave.; Barbara Brown, 916 E. 29th st. and John Mitchell, 3020 E. Michigan st., were out for A spin when they saw a large box fall from a gan & Co. truck. They tried to catch up ith the truck but failed, so they called the company and told them where they could recover the box. Contents of the box: 16-pound ham, large pressed ham, 24 pounds of bacon, 24 pounds of lard, side of pork shops, side of pork ribs and a box of sausage,

Several days later he picked up the 500 cards he had ordered. Imagine his consternation when he got home and opened thém to find they read: “Wilson Beene Sr. Man About Town,” rather than “Wilson Beene Sr. Attorney,” as his old ‘cards had. He called to raise heck and Mr. Stewart protested: “But Mr. Beene, we made only one% change.

Mr. Spears is still watching the pipe, though, determined to hunt down the fox. If he does, Mrs. Spears will blossom out in new fox furs. , . .

Where Are the Courteous Men?
HERE'S BOTH an orchid and an onion concerning |
courtesy in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Railways reports receiving 104 letters commending operators for courtesy so far this year. Last year only 35 letters were received in the ‘same period ' of time. The operator who's received more commendation than any other is Joe Dwyer, Operator 795, of 1218 Polk st. Mr. Dwyer, who driveseson various lines, has received 17 of the commendations, about four times as many as any other one operator. They run the gamut from courtesy, good operating to pleasant smiles and hearty ‘good mornings” . Not so impressed with thg courtesy of Indianapolis people is Mrs. Kathryn Greenwood of 518 Livingston st. Mrs. Greenwood was en route to work at Block’s yesterday when she turned her ankle and fell at the corner of Capitol ave. and Washington st. One man and two women passed right by her as she lay helpless in the busy intersection. The fourth passerby, a man, stopped and helped her up. He'd witnessed the callous attitude of the other three people and was just as disgusted with them as Mrs. Greenwood
was. Mrs. Greenwood, incidentally, is a gold star mother. Her son, Billy, was killed in the South Pacific. ’
Springs and Springs By Eldon Roark
MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK, Colo., Aug. 1.— All the way across Colorado I have been drinking medicinal water. At Manitou Springs I quaffed some of their famouf soda that fixed my stomach and kidneys, It has an awful taste so it must be mighty good for you.
At Del Norto I stopped at a kiosk that sheltered *

eral Water” contained silica, chlorine, bicarbonic acid, sulphuric acid, calcium acid, magnesium, potassium. A man wearing dark glasses approached the fountain just as I finished drinking. “Well, that doesn't taste so bad,” I said. “That’s city water you drank,” he said. “The mineral water is in this other fountain here in the center.” So I tried it. Wow! What a dose! - “Wonderful for arthritis,” my friend said. “My wife has it, and this does her more good than anything.” i
Cross Breath-Taking Pass UP WE climbed to Wolf Creek Pass and the Continental Divide, an elevation of 10,850 feet, and ate lunch in front of a shelter house as a cold rain started. The descent from the pass going west, is much more sensational than the climb up-to it. The scenery is more breath-taking, the cliffs are sheerer, and the turns sharper. After we were about one-third of the way down the rain turned.into hail. - The rain and melted hail started pouring down the mountain side, bringing rocks. Some wicked looking young boulders barely missed two cars ahead of us, and we pulled off the road at a wide place and parked. In about 15 minutes the rain and hail let up and we high-geared it on down into Pagosa Springs. Just across the bridge from the business section is a big spring of hot water, about 30 feet in diameter, which they say has no bottom. “Pagosa” is a Ute Indian word that means “healing
Science
THE ATOMIC BOMB has introduced something new into war. It is radioactivity. This was, of course, apparent immediately after the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But I do not think that the fyll significance of the situation impressed itself on the American public at the time. Although I had written a tonsiderable number of articles on the subject in the months that followed the first use of the atomic bomb last August, I know that I did not fully appreciate this phase of the atomic bomb until I witnessed the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll last month. This is the chief reason why I am so impatient with the navy officers who point out that the first atomic bomb didn’t sink the battleship Nevada, that the battleships sunk by the second bomb were old, over-age ships, that the big job of the navy is to build battleships whose hulls can withstand the crushing power of the atomic bomb, etc. I am quite certain that practically no personnel would have survived aboard the Nevada had the ship been manned when the first atomic bomb went off. My guess Is that an atomic bomb would, by its radiation, cause the deaths of most of the personnel on ships within a two-mile radius of its point of detonation.
Recalls Weather Direction
IT IS well worth remembering that the first bomb at Bikini could not be dropped from the B-29 until a day occurred on which the winds were all blowing from the northeast, from the surface of the water to the stratosphere. That was so the ships of Joint Army-Navy Task
My Day
CAMPOBELLO, ISLAND.—A correspondent who had just come over from Europe asked me recently why there are no groups working for the understanding of democracy as diligently as the groups working in the interests of communism, 13 Is, of course, entirely legitimate for people anywhere in the world to try to inform others about their political and economic doctrines and to argue the advantages of their particular brand of politics or economic theory. Why is it that those of us who believe in democracy do not crusade for our beliefs in the same way that Communists groups do?. Perhaps it is because communigm dawned on a people who had suffered very greatly and, hence, amelioration in their dally lives seemed a miracle. Demoeracy has existed in this country for over 150 years and, as we look back, we see the progress Nevertheless, we realize that, in both the economic and political theories which we have followed, we have made mistakes and we gradually have been obliged to change some things. Sometimes the changes have come about through peaceful methods and sometimes they have been accompanied
by bloodshed.

Visitors are welcome to drink the hot water. My symptoms of the above ailments are rather mild, so I just stood on“~the edge of the spring and in the bath house, breathing the pungent odors. I figure they are sufficient in mild cases,
Town Has Other Springs THERE ARE other hot springs in the town. Most of the business places and the homes are heated by water from hot springs. Just drill down in your own yard and solve your heating problem. We arrived here late in the afternoon, toured the campgrounds, and picked out a site we liked—one near the bath house and water supply, a secluded spot under the junipers and pinons. We pitched our, tent, made up our cots, ate dinner and rushed away to a campfire lecture and Indian dance. ‘The first dance we saw was a Navajo ritual designed to chase the evil spirits out of an ailing person. It was done by six Navajos wearing white pants and velvet jackets and headbands, led by venerable old Sandoval Begay, the gruntingest Indian in these parts. Sandoval has been a summer employee of the park for years, He goes aroynd with a nail on the
end of a stick picking up paper. As head dancer he |
recruits his teammates up in the Indian village every evening.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1946
ATLANTIC CITY, HERE SHE COMES . . . Lois Chitwood, Miss Indiana for 1946, poses alluringly atop a hay wagon, a familiar sight in her native Brown county. Her home is in the little town of Helmsburg. For obvious reasons, Miss Chitwood was selected at Terre Haute to represent the state.
Last night he had a couple of braves a little out |
of practice. Their contribution to the team effort was rather weak, and Sandoval worked himself into a lather trying to whip up action. A conscientious old fellow, to make up for what he coggidered an unsatisfactory number, he put on a special one all by himself. He gave the cries the Navajos used to use when they saw their enemies, the Utes, descending upon them, They were earsplitting.

Force One, steaming to the northeast of Bikini island, would be. safe. As I watched the great cloud of radioactive particles rise five miles into the stratosphere and expand into a giant mushroom, I realized what it would have been like to be in its path.

target ships that had been declared safe by the radiological safety officers. When we toured the lagoon on July 2 in an LCT, one of these officers, armed with a Geiger counter, went with us. On July 4 when we boarded the Nevada, we were told that the stern eof the ship was still “hot” and the radiological safety officers would permit us only on the forward deck. Radioactivity played an even greater role in the detonation of the second bomb. This bomb, exploded under water, discharged its radiations and its radioactive isotopes directly into the water, The great plume of water that went up into the air—a million tons of water in all—was heavily radio.
OFF TO A PARTY ... permanent, Miss Chitwood receives the finishing touch from her mother, Mrs. Clarence Chitwood. Of Atlantic City, she says, “I'm scared. I don’t think I'll do so good there, do you?” She's asking us!

There is no reason to. believe that the point. has been reached where democracy is stagnant, It is still young—not complete as a political or economic way of life—but we take our democratic rights and our
theories so much for granted that we have few crusaders among us! “The most perplexing question to many of us today is whether, in a world which has grown so small through rapid communication and transportation, two theories such as communism and democracy can each be used to improve the lot of manking without a complete rejection of the opposing theory. ~The future peace of the world, I think, depends on our being able to argue out eur respective political, economic and religious differences without restoring to force. I hope we will not build up spheres of infliience arid blocs which are aimed at opposing each other. We should try to learn about each other’s bellefs, and about the way in which the experiments tried under both our theories succeed or fail.”
“LOOK, IT’S CHEAP” . . . Miss Chitwood pitches in to help her father sell hardware when she is home from her schooling at Indiana university. Here she pushes the sale of a mail box to skeptical Guy Fleener as her father marks other merchandise in the background. She Hinks she might like to Wy her luck in a modeling career.

NO CHINA DOLL . . . There Is no doubt that Miss Indiana is attractive in a bathing suit, but she is a far cry from the mincing young things who “just couldn't possibly get their hands dirty.” Their nails, you know. Miss Chitwood didn’t have to be told how to hold a hoe when this picture was taken, For years hoeing corn was part of her job on her father's farm. She was born 21 years ago in Treviac which boasts a population of 100 and Miss Chitwood.
