INTEREST UP TO $300 ON DEPOSITS IN LOAN BANKS HiEE OF TAX WASHINGTON'. Feb. 3 Members of building and loan associations in Indiana are being reminded that dividends or interest from such organizations not exceeding $300, are now tax exempt under the provisions of the federal income tax law. This exemption will operate to the benefit of sev
eral thousand residents of eastern In
diana. Section 213. paragraph 10, of the in
come tax law reads: "So much of the
amount received by an individual, aft
er December 31, 1921, and before January 1, 1927. as dividends or interest lrom domestic building and loan associations, operated exclusively for the
purpose of making loans to members.
as does not exceed $300."
The statement is made that it has
been found necessary to remind mem
brs of such organizations that their dividends and interest are not taxable up to the prescribed amount, because
the individual income tax blanks by
ihe internal revenue bureau make no
reference to this exemption. Mem
bers of building and loan associations
f.re advised, in making their returns, to give the name and location of the association that they are receiving dividends or interest from, as the internal
revenue bureau will require this infor
mation.
The exemption in question means
that $300 of dividend or interest re
ceived from such an organization i.. to
be deducted by a member from his
cross income each year during tho
years 1922 to 1926, both inclusive.
MEZZANINE FLOOR AT GEAR WORKS PLANT
NEW FEATURE IN FACTORY CONSTRUCTION A new construction feature, originat- use of workers at noon hours and
ed by tho John W. Mueller and com-after working hours. The army type
pany firm of architects, is embodied in of wash troughs is used instead of the the new plant just being finished for individual bowl system. Space is pro-
the Automotive Gear Works, south of
Richmond. This is the use of a mez
zanine floor in the regular monitor
type factory building, for recreation
quarters.washrooms, stock storage or similar non-productive but necessary
factory uses.
The mezzanine floor is made pos
sible by a suspended line shaft hanger construction which swings girders for the shafting at a moderate height be
low the monitor roof, and' leaves the space beneath the monitor available for the mezzanine.
To Speed Production. While this is the outstanding feature, it is only one of the space saving or production speeding facilities
of the new plant. The arrangement of the machines has been designed to
vided for 16 men at a time, -with both hot and cold water taps for each. The
storage of street clothing nearby also encourages cleaning up before going
home and betng at a distance from the
machines, discourages frequent trips
to coat pockets.
Gives View of Factory
Factory foremen may also hold conferences here during working hours,
and the view of the factory will per
mit unobtrusive oversight and quick detection of any defects in the production plans, slowing up of any ma
chines or other matters requiring attention. A signalling device will be installed to call department head3 from the floor for consultation away from the noise of the machines. The factory gradually is getting into
Short News of City
INSPECT PARK TRACT
AS SITE FOR LINKS
A meeting of a general committee of citizens will be held soon to make definite plans for making a municipal golf course available for this summer, it was learned Saturday. An inspection tour of the wasteland east of the Elk pen at Glen Miller park, has been made. This location lias been proposed for a golf course. The tract comprises about 30 acres ol ihe public park which lias never been available to the public. This land has boen used for growing corn and hay, but for the most part it has been idle. The beauty of this land is unknown to the general public, because of its seclusion from the public eye. According to the committee, no finer course could be found by any city
for a golf links. Hardly an acre of
the ground is level, and natural haz
ards are to be found throughout the
course, including brooks, steep hills,
guilys and trees, all making it an ideal
cour.se.
The course, will not. encroach any
portion of the park, but will be to it
self, so that the public will not be disturbed throughout the rest of the
park.
KREISLER POSSESSES
VALUABLE VIOLINS
Fritz Kreisler, the great violinist
who is appearing in recitals at the Coliseum next Friday evening, is the
possessor of three extraordinary violins. One is a rather small Stradi-
varius. not large in tone, but of ex
quisite quality, which he uses often
for recitals in small halls. The sec
ond is a Gagliano, the work of one of the earliest and most famous of the Italian violin makers who flourished
in Florence in the first half of the
seventeenth century. The instrument
however, that he uses the most is one
made by Josef Guarnen del Gesu which formerly was the property 'of the great Wilhemy. This Guarnerius is one of the finest instruments in existence and it would be difficult to compute its value in dollars and cents. The chances are, however, that if it were put up for auction at Christie's in London it would bring from $15,000 to $20,000. It is a largs instrument with the big, mellow tone characteristic of its kind, and Kreisler uses it almost entirely when he plays concertos with orchestras. He has other instruments, of course, but these are the most faKOUS.
follow the constant progress method
of production, made notable by the
popular example of the Ford factory
Raw material is brought into one
door at the south end, the rough drop
forged castings are fed into the first of a battery of machines which grad
ually evolve the finished machining,
are run out to a heat treating room
where the gears are case hardened, go into a sound proof testing room
and from there to the finished etock room from winch they are sent out by the shipping department. Maximum of Light. A maximum of light is provided by the monitor type of building used, which required in this case, 8,000 square feet of glass for a floor space of 120 by 200 feet. There are no shadows around any of the machines, and no dark corners in the building.
thus eliminating a common cause of may factory accidents. Ample steam radiation around the walls, supplied
from a central heating plant also provided for the comfort of the workers.
Machine equipment of the plant is
planned and arranged for maximum
efficiency and economy in production
On some types of machines, semi-au
tomatic in operation, one operator will be able to care for two, three or even
tour machines. The machines are
arranged in batteries, each one of which will be' able to carry through
complete production of certain types of gears. Each operation as rough
machining, drilling, tooth cutting, pol
ishing will be cared for by One ma chine.
i Ball Bearing Shafts
Ball bearing lineshafts throughout
is another new feature of which the
management is expecting great results. So successful have the mill-
rights been in in eliminating fric
tion that, the main lineshaft may be turned with one hand. These bearings
have cost five times as much as or
dinary installation, but their cost will
be saved in power, it is stated
Hardening of the gears is don in
an outside part of the plant, in spe
cial treating ovens which first in
crease the carbon content of the gear
faces and then bake them. Fuel oil
is used for heat in this process,
After hardening, the gears are
trucked into the test room, made with
double tmckness walls or gypsum
board, where they are mounted on
special machine which operates them
as tney will run in actual service
Delicate measuring devices check up the gears for . size and weight, for
gear-mesh and for soundness. After
receiving the tester's O. K. they are
taken into the finished stock room, in which they are distributed in hundreds of bins, separate bins being provided for each gear made. Recording System. An interesting detail of the production is the card recording system, in which a card is made out for each lot of gears, and follows them through
the whole process, each operation and the time necessary being noted on the card. After the lot is finished the card makes a complete cost accounting record on that lot. Both recreational features for the workers and supervisory facilities for
the office, are made possible by the mezzanine floor which is the pride of the architects and of Harry Rhinehart, superintendent of construction. This space, 40 by 50 feet, with lockers for clothing, tables, chairs and wash troughs, will be available for the

peculiarto the best of human kind, Mrs. Brumfiel enjoys good health. Born on a farm four miles south of Centerville, Mrs. Brumfiel has remained in close proximity to the scene of her birth all of her life, for even when she was married to Josiah Brumfiel at the age of 21. she moved to Alington where she lived until about 23 years ago.
