STATE MEMORIAL FOR ROOSEVELT IS CONSIDERED

Drive for $100,000 Will be Launched Oct. 20 Conerence is Held. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 12. Coupled Tvlth Indiana's campaign to subscribe $177,500 as the state's share of the national Roosevelt Memorial Association fund of $5,000,000 may be the raising of at least $100,000 additional or a state memorial for the former President. The drive Is to be held during the week of Oct. 20-27. George Ade, chairman of the publicity committee of the Indiana branch

of the memorial association, suggested the state memorial to the conference of workers at the Claypool Hotel yesterday. More than a score of prominent men and women in Indiana attended the meeting to discuss the campaign plans. The state memorial suggestion was referred to the state

executive committee, presided over by

W. C. Bobbs, state chairman. Those attending the conference ex

pressed keen interest in the Roosevelt

Memorial and believe the citizens and children of Indiana desire an oppor

tunity to contribute for the memorial,

Theodore Roosevelt had thousands of

admirers in this state and the pro

posed memorials will be the expres

sion of their admiration. American Program Sought.

To stimulate the campaign Governor Goodrich will be asked to proclaim Oct. 24 as Americanization day in the state. Public and parochial schools will be urged to formulate a program

of Americanism. E. U. Graff, superintendent of the public schools, is com-

nilinsr a program for the schools.

Meredith Nicholson and Booth Tark-

ington will assist in arranging data on

the sayings of public men to be em bodied in the program.

The Rev. Morton C. Pearson, chair

man of the church committee, report

ed to the conference that on Oct. 19

sermons on 'Americanization," using the life and career of the noted American as a basis, would be delivered from the pulpit in the state. "Ministers and laymen in Indiana will heartily cooperate in the movement," the Rev. Mr. Pearson said. William Dudley Foulke and L.. E. Murray, of Richmond, and Charles E. Reed, of Winchester, were among those who attended the meeting.

ALIGHTING PLATFORMS FORECAST FROM WHICH AIRPLANES SHALL COME AND GO

(Willfam Joseph Showalter, in Natlonpl Geographic Magazine). The Rtar at the bend of tho handle cf th Grpat Dipper Is known as Ml7ar. Insignificant though it looks

in its fsmallness, it radiates more than;

100 times as much light as the sun and is nearly 5,000,000 times as far away. Its light has to travel threequarters of a centui-y to reach the earth. It Is a great triple luminary. The combined mass of two of its memhprs is many tiiae? as great as that of our sun: they swing around their common center of gravity every twenty days. Following the line of the pointers eastward one's eye picks up Polaris fthe North star) the only bright star in the neighborhood. Shining down upon us from a point almost midway between the zenith and the northern horizon in the latitude of Washington, this humble star of the second magnitude tells little of its glory. Yet it is so distant that the light waves entering the eye as one looks at it today left it forty-

five years ago and have been travel- j ing at tho rate of more than 1 1,000-j 000 miles a minute to reach us. j Polaris Triple Sun. j Not one star, Indeed, but three a i Triple sun is Polaris. Until recently it was supposed to be a double star. I but the newer high power telescopes j reveal that the brighter of the two j companions has a closer companion ,

of its own. In the zenith is Vega, the bluishwhite star of the first magnitude that shines down with beautilul brilliancy from the constellation Lyra, the Harp. Any doubt in identifying Vega, otherwise Alpha Lyrae, can be dispelled

by observing the close equilateral triangle formed by it and Its companions, Epsilon and Zeta Lyrae, this being the only triangle of its kind in the whole heavens. If with the unaided eye we viewed the sun from the distance of Vega it would appear as one of the dimmest stars. Vega is said to be 8,000,000 times as far from us as we are from the sun. A little past the zenith is the constellation Hercules. It isn't a particularly bright group, not a single star In It being brighter than the third magnitude; but It has an easily found trazodial figure of five stars, the base turned toward to north. On the west side of this trapezoid, about one-third of the distance from the base, is what appears to be a faint and fuzzy little spot, visible only on the clearest nights: but train a high power telescope on It, and you will see one of the finest clusters in all the heavens.

Like any soaring bird of prey, an!

airplane must be in motion before It can fly. It must run along the ground before it can vault into the sky, writes Carl Dlenstbach, in Popular Science Monthly. But that is not all: it must make Its running start in the face of the wind. This explains why it is possible to confine a condor or a vulture in a narrow cage open at the top. You can see from this that the problem of flying to and from your office in New York or Chicago reduces itself to the providing of suitable platforms on which you can alight (also in the teeth of the wind) and from which you can start. Clearly, city streets, flanked by high cliffs or architecture, lend themselves about as well for airplane landing and starting as they do for ice-boating. Flying must adapt itself to the wind as must as ice-boating. Would Be Wrecked Even if a flying-machine could vault into the air from one of the canyons In the Wall street district of lower New York, it would be dashed to pieces against the tall buildings on either side.

In order to avoid a catastrophe in starting from a street, the wind must blow exactly in the right direction not only during the preliminary run but

also for another minute or so. Within a city, airplanes must land and start above the roofs. Skyscrapers must be avoided as if they were mountains. There Is clearly nothing for it but to use the roofs a suggestion that has been made time and time again. But this means either a building with a very large roof or a number of buildings of uniform height connected by a common roof Suppose a number

of buildings could so be connected by a roof. Obviously, the common connecting roof must not cut off light

and air from the streets below. Some form of iron grating, light and strong, suggests Itself. Strong Iron Gratings It Is rarely that a group of building of uniform height is found, particularly in the sky-scraper districts of large cities. To be sure, a solution may be found in the invention of an airplane that can rise alomst vertically from the ground. But the present arl

ticle Is concerned with the roofs and

the machines of today.

H. T. Hanson, art director of the Popular Science Monthly, proposes

what seems a method of solving the problem which is worth serious consideration. He would build the platform In the form of a circular, high, banked track a track that would be constructed of light but strong iron gratings, so that sun and air would still find their way to the streets below.

Prehistoric Wall is Discovered in Ohio

In exploring a mound in Licking county recently thero was uncovered a stone wall. It was three feet high, tnd enclosed an area of sixteen feet square. The wall was made of blocks of flint laid on each other without cement of any kind, and was pretty well constructed. This is, we believe, the second piece of prehistoric masonry discovered in this country. In another mound was found a bit of paving a number of flat Btones having been laid to form a 6ort of floor or hearth. Thia wall and the email area of stone pavement Is all the masonry the mound builders or Indiana ever did, so far as present indications show. And this in a country where loose rocks were to be found in abundance or where the labor of quarrying them was slight; indeed, flat rocks may be had In many regions on top of the earth without quarrying at all.

In northern China vegetarianism Is almost the rule.

Install this hot-air heating system in your home at the cost of an ordinary stove!

IF, in your home, you are using an old style stove, you are paying too much money for too little heat. For in the ordinary stove 50 to 75 of all the heat generated goes up and out through the chimney a dead waste of heat and of money. There's a new way now a vastly better way that is revolutionizing home heatinj. It's the thing that everyone has been looking for a hot air heating system that works as thoroughly and satisfactorily as the best small hot-air furnace, yet costs very little more than any ordinary heating stove to buy, no more to install, and much less to operate.

Protected by U. S. Patent

The diagram shows how it works Freth air (just as with a furnace) is drawn in at the rides, heated evenly to several hundred degrees temperature, and discharged nor through the flue and chimney, but through the top of the hot-air chamber into the rtom. This creates a thorough circulation of hot air that will successfully heat several rooms. Even the upstairs rooms can be heated by the aid of a simple pip connection.

ot Storm

the Stove with a "Little Furnace" in it is two heating systems in one not a stove, not a furnace, but a combination of the best features of both. It sets in the room like a stove, its exterior looks like a stove but there the similarity ends. For its interior is utterly different from any stove you have ever seen inside it is built like a hot-air furnace.

Wo want every prospective heating stove purchaser in this locality to inspect the Estate Hot Storm at our store to giro us an

opportunity to explain it before buying a stove of any kind. You owe it to yourself to do this and to do it soon.
