Named for President

BORN in Canfield, O, on July 28, 1881, the son of a minister Clarence Baker early learned the viccissitudes of traveling circuit life in a 10th century “tural -pastor’s family. . . . His father, a personal friend of President Arthur Garfield's, honored the nation’s chief executive by naming his son: after him. . . . His matriculation to Hiram college, where Garfield had been president, was at the instance of the elder Baker, « But there the young Baker's ideas swerved from the dogmas of his father . . . at least temporarily- . , . He wanted to teach. . Still he loved the ministry. . . . Clarence Baker became a superintendent of township schools before the end of his sophomore year. . . . But one of his college chums needed a substitute to handle his pastorate for a few weeks, . . . Mr, Baker obliged. . . . That marked the turning point in his career. . . . He rejected a graduation offer as a superintendent of schools in favor of a pulpit at. New Paris, O. . : There he met Olive Mills, . . . They have two dalighters, Mrs. Esther Bock, Washington high school teacher, and Mrs. Rosamond Bills, and a son, Harold Baker of Atlanta, Ga.

Again teaching threatened to lure him. » + « This time he could realize a professorship at Spokane college... ., . But an innate desire to help mankind brought: the Baker family to Indianapolis «+. to the young, throbbing, sprawling West side. Mr. Baker had studied population centers at first hand in Chicago. . . . He saw what happened when factories began crowding the populace. . . . That's why he came to Indianapolis as a minister to the West Park Christian church. . , , The West side was swirling with the excitement of war and its aftermath a roaring Ku Klux Klan , . . when Clarence Baker launched his West Side Messenger community news-

Indian Ruins

MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK, Colo. Aug. 3.— There are plenty of empty apartment houses around here. But theyre pretty old. They were built hundreds of years ago. 1uese houses once were occupied by the Pueblo Indians, a tribe of cliff-dwellers, They came into this region nearly 2000 years ago, and lived here till + 24-year drought in the 13th century drove them out. Their homes, some of them three and four stories ‘high, built of sandstone and adobe in widemouthed caves on the canyon walls, are in a fine state of preservation, thanks to the national park service. CHfT Palace, the largest and finest of the ruins, has over 200 rooms and once occommodated from 400 to 600 people. Spruce Tree House, second largest of the ruins and the easiest of all to reach, was occupied by about 300 cliff-dwellers. And there are many more homes left by the agricultural Indians who were raising corn and squash on the mesa top long before Columbus discovered America. The Indians, it seems, were like moderns in many respects. Some were gregarious and liked to live in human anthills. Others liked to live out in the country for solitude and privacy. So they built their homes high up on cliff walls that would defy even mountain goats. How they did it—and lived there—is something that still puzzles scientists, The only way the rangers can explore such ruins is by lowering themselves by ropes from the cliff tops. They swing like pendulums until the swing is wide enough to carry them into the caves where they can grab hold of a house.

Ancestors Are Roving Hunters MESA VERDE, as Don Watson, the park naturalist, points out, is unique among our national parks. It is the only one dedicated to the study and preservation of the works of man. The others are dedicated to grandeur and the wonders of nature.

Aviation

THERE CONTINUES to be need for debunking aviation of its so-called mysteries. The only tool for accomplishing this is plain, sound educational matter for the layman. We have come a long way in this crusade for telling the layman the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Sometimes it has been a hard job, and regarded grimly in certain quarters. Personally, T've had a grand time at it. Aviation in the cockpit, and out, is a cold, calculating business—as old as a bank examiner's pencil, 1'got started trying to write about aviation without frills many years ago, when my hard-boiled instructor, in response to a question as to how he performed some maneuver, said: “Go up and sweat and learn the way I did.” 1 suppose it has been only natural that this flying business should have become clouded with socalled mysteries. We at this age are living the dreams of the most gifted of the ancients—who did their dreaming of human flight in poetry and music. We are unraveling the mystery dreams of 5000 years groundbound time for the human race.

50-Year-0ld Pilots Fly Ocean

LATELY, WE are getting some clear vision of hey question: “How old can a man be and still fly?" There are dozehs of crack pilots flying our airlines today, and the oceans, who are well over 50 years of age. They are sound, hard-headed pilots who know all the tricks and whose physical skill in handling a plane. has been seasoned by mental habit. Above all;

My Day

CAMPOBELLO ISLAND, Friday.—An old friend of, mine who has a great interest in India has written me about the food for India campaign conducted under the auspices of “The Caravan of East and “West.” Many of us, I think, have felt that the problem of famine in India, which keeps recurring and has been augmented by war conditions, is too great for much of a dent to be made by any private organizations. However, something was said.to mie recently by a French woman wetich I think may apply in other places and even in India. She said that a word of encouragement, a message of ‘appreciation of the rehabilitation, efforts being made “within a devastated country, and token gifts

’

showing the good will of individuals in faraway lands ,

—these meant a lift to the spirit of French people.

The India supply mission has agreed to ship food free of charge, and ‘ships with available space are leaving at frequent intervals, Powdered Milk Gone SOYA-BEAN flour, powdered milk and oatmeal “have already gone. { i On July 12th, the national committee for a fair minimum wage urged us as citizens to ask our con‘gressmen to sign a petition to discharge o 65-cent
