.* WE STEPPED back to Indianapolis in the days of

frescoed woodwork, scenic transoms and arched fretworks yesterday as we visited one of the South side’s many picturesque byways, Greer st. , , . We've decided you find policemen anywhere you go—hence it was only natural that our first stop was at the home of Capt. ahd Mrs. Clifford J, Richter, at 838 Greer, « « » The Richters live in the rambling house where Capt. Richter was born One of the first things the captain points out to visitors is “the corner where I was born.” The second place on an itinery is “my garden” where the captain will lead visitors around a fish pond, encircled by beautifully plotted beds of zinnias, asters and gladiolis, It just so happened that we drew Mrs. rather than Capt. Richter as a guide sa we got the straight of the thing. The veteran i policeman has never so much as pulled a weed in “his garden.” The only thing he does well is show it loff to visitors. The third member of the Richter household is their daughter, Idora, who has an unusual scholastic record. Now in her senior year at Manual, Miss Richter has never missed one day of school and has never been tardy that first time.

‘Green. Thumb’ Gardener

FROM THE RICHTER’'S back yard you can look either direction and see neatly fenced off rectangular yards, all growing with flowers and decorated with small wooden figures. , , . The Richter’s next door neighbor, Mrs. Ruby Suddeth, 828, has a ‘green thumb,” Mrs. Richter told us. It isn’t a disease—it simply means that anything she plants thrives. Even though she works days, Mrs, Suddeth has flowerbeds that full time gardeners would envy. . , . The backlyard of the J. P, Mugivan home, 906 Greer, is a show lcase for Mr. Mugivan's hobby. He cuts out and paints wooden figures, and puts them up all over the yard. ‘We don’t envy him the job of pulling up ducks with a dozen little ducklings, and scores of elephants, birds, and miscellaneous figures everytime he cuts the grass. The inside of the Mugivan household is a treasure chest of antiques and art objects, many from the estate of Mr, Mugivan’s brother, Jerry Mugivan, head of several nationally known circuses for years. We were fascinated with an inlaid Chinese dining room suite and a lamp made of the tusks of Mr. Mugivan’'s first three elephants. It was in the Mugivans’ that we saw the transom with the scenic oil painting on the Iglass, something we hadn't seen for years. ., , . The iMugivan’s next door neighbor, Frank J. Butsch, of 1203, is the oldest resident on the block. His mother pought the house “back in 18 and 87” and he's lived there every since. Mr. Butsch is a retired school custodian.

Interesting History WE GOT a little bit of the history of the block from Fred Shafer, 921, who used to sit on a hank and catch catfish in the lake which covered land on which his home is now situated. Mr, Shafer's grandmother came to the block as a bride during the Civil

Beautiful Falls

OURAY, Colo, Aug. 14.—We left Silverton on the Million-Dollar highway and started up to the 11,000-foot Red Mountain pass. We were in some rain as we climbed, but fortunately never caught up with the worst of the storm. My car hasn't balked at a grade yet, but it doesn't aurry. | So we arrived at the pass just as the storm left— and found the mountains and highway white with nail, an unusual summer sight for us. We arrived at Ouray in a cold drizzle, and the motor courts and hotels were filled. But the town 18s a small public campground, so out here we went ind pitched our tent in the rain. By the time we got it up the rain stopped. We juilt a fire and had supper, and from then on we :njoyed the experience. . Ouray is one of the most picturesque towns we've seen. It is a rather sleepy place (pop. 951, alt. 7710) »f comfortable little homes, trees, flowers, horses and fogs. It sits on the Uncompahgre river looking up at .all mountains, red cliffs and white, roaring waterfalls.

Town Filled With Tourists

ALREADY OURAY is getting more tourists than he town can accommodate, and Mayor Albert Schneider believes that when the Million-Dollar highway (No. 550) is completed, they will come through here by the thousands. And the town is 20ing to try to get ready for them. “The war stopped work on the road,” he .says, ‘and now it is going forward again. There still is a 'ot to be done because the road is narrow and rough in some places, especially up in the Lime Creek pass.” The mayor hopes to have water piped to the

sut an injury to passengers or chews. The sole accident encountered involving injury to crew members occurred during a crew training flight. And no one has been injured on a Constellation flown by a fully trained crew in three and sne-half years of operation, it was pointed out today, What appeared to the average layman to have been an “unsafe” condition, when blazing engines fell from their nacelles during flight, at Topeka and Willimantic. was in fact the very safety provision that saved passengers and crew from injury and allowed safe landing of the two planes, It was due to the perfect operation of its fusible link engine nacelles which permit an engine to drop out of the wing in event of an uncontrollable fire. In both cases the fire itself burned through the fusible links and the engines and flames dropped to earth, eliminating the fire hazard, It was comparatively easy for the pilots then to land the planes safely. Three engines easily can maintain altitude and flight.

Lights Warn of Fire

A STAINLESS steel fire wall separates the engines from the gas tanks. An advanced type of fire warning system, using thermocouples located throughput the engine nacelle, gives warning of an incipient ondition that might lead to a fire.

+ NEW YORK, TUESDAY.—It 1Is,. of course, per. fectly obvious that all the people of the country cannot lay down the rules for the manner in which their objectives in domestic and foreign policy shall be achieved. We have a state department and various other departments in the government to plan the ways and means of achieving these results. We have a congress to keep the people in touch with the way their business is being conducted, and it is through the election of these legislative representatives that the people show their approval or disapproval of current events. The President is the elected executive représentative of the people. His appointees assume the jobs which he gives them and, in their administrative capacity, they are responsible to him and to congress. The people's control is through the election of their President and their congress, and it is the general policy, both domestic and foreign, which the people pass on. When the people say, “What is our foreign policy?” then these representatives should begin to be cone serned, for obviously a part of their obligation is not being carried out. . L

man for 35 years, brought his family up there. Mr. Shafer’s back in Indianapolis after serving as manager of the old New York Hippodrome, biggest theater in the world, for 17 ‘years. . .-. Mr. Shafer and his next door neighbors, Mr, and Mrs. Fred Hansing, told us they had a record of more than 51 ydars of “neighboring” with never a cross word. Mrs, Hansing came here from Germany, landing in New York on her eighth birthday. One of her keepsakes is & pair of white woolen hose which she knit for her first days in America, only to find the children here didn’t wear that type. Mrs. Hansing’s home is one of the many parlor type, with each connecting arch a masterpiece of frescoed wood posts and overhanging fretwork curliques. Mrs. Richter, who accompanied us “visiting,” got as much of a kick as we did from Mrs. Hansing’s tales of how “Clifford” used to sit on the curb and cry “I want do-nuts” until someone produced his favorite delicacy, and some other “tales out of school” about the officer. . , , As a matter of fact, we think we’ll drop down in the police station and retell some of the incidents we heard about Capt. Richter’s boyhood. , . . We found another policeman in the block, Tony Sansone, 821, who came back from five years in the army to a job on the motorcycle force, Patrolman Sansone is also something of a painter. Right now he's wielding a brush around the basement, turning it into a recreation room. , .. After visiting the high ceilinged, turn of the century homes we felt like we were in a doll house when we visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Zahn, 826. The neighbors are still marvelling in the remodeling job the Zahns did. They took one of the old houses and turned it into something that looks right out of an interior decorating magazine. , . . We were just starting away from Greer when something happened that changed our minds about telling those tales to “the boys at the station”—Capt, Richter came along and gave us a lift, so “the boys at the station” will never know.

227-Foot Falls Magnificent

BEAR CREEK FALLS, with a drop of 227 feet, is another magnificent spectacle. The Million-Dollar highway crosses it. The city owns and operates a large outdoor swimming pool, fed by warm mineral springs. The charge is 35 cents. : Nearby is the famous Camp Bird mine, which became the foundation of the Walsh fortune now enjoyed by Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean of Washington, D. C, owner of the Hope diamond. : You realize what a young country this is when you visit the cemeteries. In the cemetery at Silverton the oldest gravestone we could find was that of a man who died in 1880. Other evidences out here of the youth of this country are the original log courthouses still standing. It isn’t because they have been preserved for their historic interest, but simply because they haven't yet rotted away. . We saw one at Howardsville, former seat of San] Juan county—a tiny log cabin with a lean-to. And the little building to which men rushed with their documents and their controversies involving millions in the late "70's now shelters a white horse. I peeped through a crack and saw him. He was lying down, taking it easy. Kilroy has got married, but apparently the guy hasn't settled down. My wife reports she saw this written on a wall: “Mrs. Kilroy has heen here.”

Constellation Well Tested

THE CONSTELLATION is one of the most “tested” ships in the air. During the war, and since, Lockheed technicians have flown the airplane under every conceivable condition. Experienced test pilots piled up more than 5000 hours of experimental flight, in addition to countless hours of testing and research on structure and equipment items. Structural design weakness tests occupied more than 4000 hours of flying. In the accelerated service test, toughest of them all, a new airplane is flown intensively for 200 hours with minilnum possible service and maintenance. The Constellation set a record for transport airplanes, completing this test in 31 days. Army air forces engineers and Hall Hibbard, Lockheed vice-president and chief engineer, later stated that “the Constellation passed the requirements of this test better than any large airplane” they had ever checked. So much for the record, as the big, fast planes are readied for resumption of global flying. And, insofar as tests are concerned; the flying public may rest assured that every airliner properly certificated by the Civil Aeronautics board and placed on scheduled flights is as safe as science and human effort can make it,

It was given him by the late Will Smith, who had been for many years custodian of homes in the Golden Hill section, and who had, according to Mr, White, collected a number of old volumes from among things people disposed of as “trash.”

IN ADDITION to the bound volume, which contains issues of the paper from Jan. 7, 1802, to July 14, 1803, Mr. White has the front page of an earlier number, that of Dec. 26, 1799, announcing the death “on the 14th instant” of George Washington. In the somewhat oratorical language of the period, the obituary notice is flanked by the President's message on Washington's death, signed by John Adams. Brownish and spotted with age, the old papers are more entertaining than you might think. ‘The

The barber gulped, poised his shears, and cut. And cut. 5 8 SO OLD Dan [Bigley’s daughter was a prankster? ‘The barber waved Lizzy out of the chair. She stooped to the floor and tucked each curl into a bag. Then she left. Back at the farm, Lizzy quickly changed into man’s garb, pasted one curl to her upper lip, carefully trimmed it hamdlebar-fashion, and went into the willage. Darting into a small shop, she laid her father’s gold watch am the counter and asked for $20. The merchdnt, amazed and instantly recoghizing the girl, called police. Lizify’s: father, thunderstruck, took his daughter home, En route, shle said she wanted new clothes, money to spend. 3 Lizzy's sectond warmup for gigantic swindling operations came shortly after she had cards printed which ready: “Miss Begley, heiress to $15,000." Not a swain in Woodstock or Edstwood believed it. But Lizzy had to support her new role. First she bought $250 worth of dry goods with a note “indorsed” by a wealthy farmer. Next she saunteregl into a piano store, tenderly haought out another note signed ly Reuben Kipp, a substantial cit®zen, and purchased a reed organ! » ” o MR. KIPP was no lover of Bach.

“Where’s that sister of yours? Using your name, she’s mortgaged every stick of furniture in this house!” ” » ” UPON entreaties of Mrs. York, Lizzy's outraged brother -in «law agreed not to prosecute. Lizzy nonchalantly set up housekeeping in another part of town, and as a “rich heiress from Ireland,” met the dashing, young Dr, Wallace 8S. Springsteen. The marriage day was set. Dr. Springsteen bragged to friends about his charming and wealthy bride-to-be. Came the wedding night, as they say in fiction. The vows were exchanged, guests raved over«Lizzy's exquisite trousseau, the splendor of the honeymoon nest.

Lizzy’s back, impounded her luggage and carted off the furniture. Dr. Springsteen had enough! He divorced his 12-day bride. ss 2» IN RAPID sequence, Lizzy became a milliner’s traveling representative, assumed a dozen aliases for vdrious roles, and in '83 established herself in an exclusive Cleveland neighborhood as Mme, Alice Bestado, clairvoyant. Here, the suckers not only admitted they had money, they ASKED her what to do with it! She advised them to invest it. And Lizzy, of course, had gilt-edge investments all primed. “The following year, she married one C. L. Hoover. A son, Emil, came of this union, but Hoover's fate is lost in the records. When Cleveland became too hot, Lizzy went to Toledo, became Mme. De Vere and mistress of a beautiful home staffed with assistant seers. Maybe she became careless. More probable, she teamed up with a dope to pass $40,000 in forged notes. At any rate, both she and one Joseph Lamb were indicted for forgery. Lamb, admittedly a credulous dupe (Lizzy had nicked him for $1000, too), was acquitted, -

LIZZY drew a 10-year sojourn in Ohio penitentiary, Columbus, It's worth casual mention that Lizzy the convict fared nearly as

well in the huge Columbus bastile as she did as ‘a seer. Describing her charge later, Mrs. Flora Kissinger, matron, said Lizzy had “wonderful hypnotic powers, could foretell the future, and even as a prisoner could bring to her men who were the cream of society.” “She ran the women’s department,” Mrs, Kissinger said. “We could do nothing with her. She didn’t hypnotize me, but she did others. I was afraid of her. She had the assistant matron’s quarters, and appearing in the finest silks, she entertained her men friends, practicing her arts to suit herself.” Ah, Lizzy, too, was the lady. ” » » “SHE PLAYED the aristocrat, held herself above other prisoners, and her power over the board of managers was so great I was glad to get away from her.” Lizzy’s request of Governor WilHam McKinley for a pardon failed

Cassie was a sucker for emeralds and ermine, She bought literally carloads of furs. And to ameliorate her pique over being a social outcast, she gave “trinkets” to casual friends.
