GITY TO URGE CHANGES IN MODEL OF MOTORS TO EFFECT BIG SAVING
The board of public work is considering the advisability of favorably acting upon - the suggestion of Supt. Klelnknecht of the municipal electric plant of requiring business concerns now using 500 volt direct current motors to dispose of them and install 220volt alternating current motors Such an order would affect thirty-two business concerns, most of which use BOO volt direct current motors, for the operation of elevators. Some of the affected concerns are disposed to enter protests against such an order on the ground that the expense of making the proposed changes would be burdensome. "The city plant is now losing $667 a year by the operation of these 500 volt direct current motors," Supt. Kleinknecht said today. "If such an order is issued the city could well afford to , defray a part of the cost of substituting alternating current motors for direct current motors.- I do not believe any one of the thirty-two coni cerns would be put to a great expense. Tnrddentallv these companies by mak
ing the change , would make a twenty
per cent saving on their electric rates. "Alternating current is generated at
CITY RANKS HIGH
WITH 3 RECRUITS
Hershel D. Brown was accepted for the cavalry of the United States army at the recruiting station yesterday. This makes a total of five recruits for the-Richmond station so far in April. He left yesterday evening for Indianapolis from where he will be transported to Columbus barracks for training and instruction. After the short period at Columbus he will be dispatched for the Mexican border reserve forces. Although Richmond did not rank . very high in the number of recruits : accepted at the fourteen auxiliary sta- : tions according: to th report for the period ending April 10, the three recruits accepted this week put it up and running with the best. The following is the number accepted for the month up until the 10th: Marion 6; Peru, 5; Kokomo, 5; Muncie, 3; Frankfort, 3; Greensburg, 3; Logansport, 2; Richmond, 2; Alexandria, 2; Shelbyville, 1; Anderson, 1; Lafayette 1; Columbus 0; Orawfordsville, 0.
the city plant and to operate these thirty-two 500 volt direct current motors a converter is used. For ever three kilowatts of alternating current sent into the converter, only one kilowatt of direct current is produced, and there is a line loss of 45 per cent."

FRIENDS BOARD TAKES UP WORK DOWN IN CUBA
After a two days session the Executive committee of the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions will adjourn this evening. Yesterday morning the time was taken up by reports from the sub-committees. The Mexican missions were under particular consideration since several of the missionaries have been driven out- by the trouble there. These missionaries are either working in Cuba or are in the United States studying. The ones that have remained in Mexico say that the times are quieter there now than they , have
been for some time nd the commit
tee is expecting to be able to send the
other missionaries back some time
next fall. Charles Tebbetts Reports.
Charles E. Tebbetts, who attended the Panama Missionary congress gave
several reports. He expressed the be
lief that much money could be saved
if all the missionary societies would
unite in their work.
Cuba was under consideration this
morning and according to reports the
missions there are progressing well.
Last night was given over to the examination and selection of new mis
sionaries. Several new workers were
accepted among which were Elgar Pennington and James B. Benson of Earlham college. The Earlham boys will have to spend about three more years in study before they are sent out.

i.lSlS. BESSELCMH ASKS ? FOE) BRICK PAVEKT
If the board of public works members bad had an iron cross or a medal of honor handy they probably would have bestowed It upon Mrs. John Besselman today when she appeared before the board on the question of the improvement of Southwest Fifth street from National road to South West A street. Mrs. Besselman was the first woman appearing before the board In over two years who favored a permanent street improvement. Mrs. Besselman said, 6he did not want a macadam street; she wanted a brick street. "It costs more, but It lasts," she stated. Nine out of every ten women appear before the board in the roles of remonstrators. A woman petitjoner for a public improvement is an object of curiosity. Ccnfirms Resolution. The board confirmed a resolution for the improvement of South West Ninth street 'with cement curbs and gutters, five feet walk and a street roadway of either concrete, butuminous macadam, bituminous concrete or brick, the property owners selecting a roadway of one of these materials. The board received a petition for the opening of South G street, where the new bridge is to be located, from South Fifth street to the river, and west of the river from the bridge approach to the west corporation line. The board is also seriously considering the advisability of instituting condemnation proceedings for the widening of South G street from Fifth to Eighth streets from forty to seventy feet to conform with the width of G street, which is to be
opened from South Fifth street uT'tbe west corporation line. ! Today City Attorney Bond reversed his ruling on the city's authority , to order the application of bituminous binders to macadam streets. In a written opinion he held that through the enactment of an ordinance J the city could put on such binders on streets being constructed of remodeled and assess the cost of the binder against abutting properties. Recently he expressed . the opinion that - this work could be done only through." private contracts.

WHY BUTTONS FLY OFF EASILY
SHERIFF INTENDED TO OBTAIN HOUNDS
"Why don't they sew the buttons on clothes like tli2y used to?" Have you ever asked that question when a button flew off your 'only clean shirt some night when you were hurriedly dressing for an evening out? Or possibly a seam ripped instead of a button flying off. Anyhow you have had similar experience with some line of clothing, hayen't you, and didn't you give vent to something like the first line of the story? Well your question was answered last night by a tailor, Robert E. Graham, at the labor forward movement meeting. "Piece work is replacing work done
by the day. In the hurry to get a big day's work done, the workmen slight their work, and the purchaser of the goods is the victim of the result," Mr. Graham explained.

TRAIVIVCr
Thousands of manual training students in the schools of the country are now busy earning vacation money by building bird houses. They are selling them to park commissions, cemetery associations and bird lovers renerally for the reception of the
feathered songsters, now beginning I
to arrive in various cities after their winter's sojourn hi the South. The cemetery association at Omaha, Nf has purchased fifty the boxes made by the high school boys of that city, using th houses in : converting the cemetery into a bird sanctuary. Many other cemetery associations are doing the same ts a result of th Audubon societies' campaign to convert burial places into bird refuges. "In summer, birds are most numerous where, if is possikl? for them to
find the best places to construct nests," said T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the Audubon societies, in commenting on the work of boys in building homes for birds. "Holenesting species are often driven out of a town or off an estate in spring and summer by the custom of 'tree surgery,' which requires all knot holes and other cavities in the trunks or limbs of trees to be carefully filled with cement. With the hoftow trees have also gone the big, old-fashioned ehiraneys, and the modern ones with small flues afford scant sites for, the' chimney swifts. Barns are no longer made of rough lumber, with openings for the girds to enter and abundant resting place for their nests on the oldfashioned rough and revnded raft
ers.
In response to a demand for information on the" making "of bird houses, the National Association of Audubon Societies, the bird-protect-!-ing organization of America, with headquarters at 1974 Broadway, New1 York City, has Issued a' boolclet, ' which is sent foT fifteen cents in stamps and which, it is said, will enable any boy with a hammer and saw, to build a bird-box for his favorit songsters. The directions, cover every kind . of, bird structure from the humble, shanty-like tin-cani house to the more artistic "mansions" shown above. j The pamphlet also tells of other ways of attracting birds cbout tha home, giving a list of fruit and seed-, betrjng shrubs and vines which at tract birds, and other ways of .feed-, inir them.
