Breakwater Construction Is Changed United States Will Use Crib Instead of Rubble Mound " Construction at Harbor.

Construction plans for the break- .... ,r tha entrance t the harbor at Indiana Harbor hay b.-en chirked. his been announced, and the part .' ; ir.o MriK-tiirs which is y't to be I... it v ill be of crib construction tn- ,,, of the rubble mound construon as 01 finally planned. The change - -i mad npcposnry because of the ,; faulty m petting the monstrous . l,. i,M.,-ka which were used In the '. ,.- ,.rntrcture of the breakwater. chance in construction Is look- . ,l upon in varyinn lights by citizens ; Indiana Harbor. m thinking that the --rib construction is not as en,i.ir.n as the rubble mound construction and others thinking of the more riP'd progress which will now be made. The rubble mound construction calls for a base of loose ftoti'S end riff-raft dumped into the lake until the mound reaches a height several foe-, below the water level. I'pon th!a base are then laid huge stone blocks ,,olghin(,- between five and ten tons which bind the base and rise to the inquired height above "the water. In tV.. crib construction boxes or cribs ir.e-isurinfc fifty-four feet lontf. seve.nfeel hish and sloping from a twenty-two foot base to a twelve foot t ? are Mink and then filled -o-ith sand concrete. A concrete top ur-m.-unts this cria. The Indiana Harbor breakwater was am horized by act of congress of March 4 1I13. at an estimated cost of $1,033.nnr. a rart of which was appropriated at tha ttime. This authorization provided for two converging arm, the north on to be 4.9;n feet long and the south arm to be 200 feet long. The entrance will be finn feet wide. Confructi n work was begun in 1915 on rv.B riort harm of the breakwater and by the end of lfllS there had been completed 1.000 feet with 2.300 additional feet up to the water line and re.idy fT th top part. During- 113 t)-, irrrk continued eastward until r.ow there is approximately 3.500 feet completed. The stone blocks which have been -.tsed In the rubble mound construe-to-n have been obtained from Bedford, but since the switchmen's strike and fr.JTrr.s: railroad transportation delays it 'r.a? been almost impossible to get t stone fast enough to continue work without interruption. The cribs which will now- be used are made by the government and towed to Indiana i!nt,-r where the Creat Lakes Dredge, an i Dock company take charge of i hem and sink them at the desired I-'.Hce. The company then Mils the cribs nnd will use molded concrete for the tipper tiers. This method will be much more rapid and the work should progress much faster than during the TTwf Ave years. The new construction will also be lets costly. i;ai,ifin connection with the breakwater const ruction it is interesting to note the increase in shipping from the Inilii'na Harbor harbor and through the enjial. The harbor has always been f.ifrly busy with receiving ore and cr.v boats for the Island and the St$.l and Tube, but until this year rhre has been but little out-bound .blrvping. The number of boat which ,aW discharged their cargoes in the h--bor has increased this year over The.-; number last year by a good percentage, but tha growth in out-bound cargoes is remarkable. An even hundred vessels, an average of'iriore than three a day, cleared the bai'bor during the month of June. Twelve to fifteen has been a fair svrrage for the heavy shipping months until recently. These shipments are of oil Vf rem the Standard Oil and Sinclair and of cement from the Portland foment company at Bufflngton. The oil "shipments have naturally shown nn'j, increase during the past years, l ufc the large increase this year is due to Vibe shipments of cement. No cement shipments, to speak of, wera made by the company until the time t f ''the switchmen's strike, but then boats of all descriptions, from forty for?tt sailing vessels to passenger MeSuner? taken from passenger service v. e.e pressed into service and are mak1 nir . regu'.ar clearings. It is also Interesting to rote .that t he'-government is now engaged in ?Tti"tng th channel of the canal, the frsti tim that the channel has been fii-eged since it. was opened to nrtvlp'in about ten ycirs ago. The fact th4t it has been in use f(ir ten years vi:Voit dredging is a surprise to many who asserted that the sand ba;ks of the canal would cave in ani rn.iK the channel nnnavigable.

TEST LIGHT CAR CLAIMS IN RELAY RUN 0F3300 MILES Stock Overland Will Start from New York July 18 Coast to Coast Test. A cosst-to-coast dash, unusual in the history of automobile runs in this ooun" try. will be started at midnight on .luly ISth when a stock Overland car will leave New York for San Francisco. The run will be made by a relay of drivers men who have never before sat at the wheel of this car. The drivers will be furnished by WillysOverland distributors. Each will pilot the car through the territory covered by his distributor. The purpose cf the relay race is o establish the economy and the stamina of the new light Overland car. in particular, and the general desirability of the light car not only for the tangled traffic of the city but for cross-country t o u r i n g . With that end in view, the test has beeri removed as far as possible from the staged cross-country test run. There will be no expert drivers to take the car through the entire run from New York to San Francisco, extracting mileage from gasoline that only an expert knows how to get. The miieaee -btained from the fuel will he that which the average, ordinary driver can obtain. The 3.300 mile run will start at midnight of July IRth regardless of weather or other conditions. This drive ! expected to establish beyond Question the claims of light car manufacturers of the dawn of the new era in motor car construction. F.very possible condition c-f weather, of climate, of roads, mud. sand. hili. mountain rasses should be encountered on this seven day drive, it will be a test to determine th stamina c-f any car regardless of sire. Daily reports of the progress of the car and Its record of economy and stam ina will be reported to the factory and to. distributors and dealers throughout the country.

IT CANNOT ADJOURN TILL TUESDAY NEXT (Continued from page one) let the appropriation bills die In coin mlttee. Members of both houses In caucusses have agreed to support the appropriation. The third question deals with the much fought over appropriations hill, parsed by the senate yesterday for the second time. It has been learned from a source close to Gov. Goodrich that the governor is determined thst "most'' of the amendments, and especially the half million dollar highway apprepnation shall be lopped from the senate hi!i. This would leave the measure si ill carrying About one and a quarter million dollars. The fourth problem brings forth the information that Gov. Goodrich will drop his fight for a state-ownod coal mine and wilt line up the administration phalanx in an effort to put across the new coal control commission idea. This is a plan to create a commission of three member? with salaries of Jfl.OPil each, clothed with power to investigate coaJ costs and govern coal transportiLon and fix prices to the public within the state. The governor's aim, he says, is to curb present "excessive" prices. LECTURE ON THE PYRAMIDS W. T. Richards, well known lecturer, will give his famous lecture on the sub ject "The Great Pyramid's Secrets Revealed" at the I. O. O. F. hall. Sunday. July ISth at 3:00 p. m . The lecture will be illlustrated by stereopticon slides made from negatives taken by flashlight infide the Great Pyramid showing all r -oms. passages, etc. When it is remembered that the Great Pyramid of Kgypt is the oldest building ever constructed which i.s sti! standing today and that it i not oniy the largest, but the mofl peculiarly constructed nuilding in the world, r.-ntainine a system of upper passages and chambers which were so skillfully hid by the builders that their existence was unknown for 3.ooo years, then such a lecture as this taken on a new meaning to us. It should proe Intensely interesting. Tills educational lecture is free to all.
