SEEKS TO OUTLAW “CARRYING IT ON HIP” A self-regulatory program to police the liquor industry and prevent a trend which might lead to prohibition was approved recently by leaders of the Indiana liquor industry at a meeting in Indianapolis. The program provided for creation of the United Indiana Beverage institute as an industry agency to check unethical practices. ■Sponsorship of a law to subject anyone carrying an opened package of liquor to a fine, sponsorship of a law to make minors who misrepresent their age in order to buy liquor subject to a fine, and sponsorship of legislation to force non-liquor-selling establisnments to close at the same hour that liquor selling establishments are forced to close. E. W. Arens of Indianapolis, president of the Indiana retail alcoholic beverage association, said the measure seemed certain to become effective. B. & O. OFFICIAL DIES IN JULY William D.

SKY-LINE ROUTE NEARS COMPLETION

Engineering Feat Provides 97-Mile Scenic Drive Along Crest of Mountain Ridges

Before the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads is through, John Motorist will be able to enter a mountain-top highway at Front Royal, Virginia, and ride south with the clouds for nearly 600 miles. The first section of this scenic highway, known as Sky-Line Drive, is now nearly completed and is open to traffic for almost its entire 97-mile length. To link Sky-Line Drive in the Shenandoah National Park with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee, construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway is progressing rapidly and it is that over 150 additional miles will bfr open to travel by the summer of 1940, Characteristic of the careful engineering employed in building this mountain highway sys-

In 1912, when the B. & O. inaugurated intensive safety first work among its employees, Mr. Lenderking headed the work of his shop safety committee. He was made safety agent of eastern lines on September 1, 1918, and on August 16, 1924, he was made safety representative of the system. Mr. Lenderking is surveved by his widow, Mrs. Mollie Schlickerman Lenderking; a daughter, Mrs. Mollie Wewett, and a son, f Raymond.. Funeral services took place from his home, 2901 Allendale road on Friday, July 28. at 11:00 A. M., and interemnt was made in Woodlawn cemetery. HUNDRED THOUSAND FEMININE ANGLERS Indiana has approximately one hundred thousand feminine anglers in action this year, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of *he Department of Conservation, said today in discussing the popularity of fishing in Hoosier lakes and streams. (This is the first year that Indiana has offered feminine anglers a special, bargain fishing license and has resulted in adding thousands of women to the ranks of fishing enthusiasts. The special license has resulted in adding thousands of women to the ranks of fishing enthusiasts. The special license is good for fishing only and is valid for the calendar year in which it is issued. i ii ■ I Lina Medina, 5-year-old Indian girl of Peru, who gave birth to a son a few weeks ago, will be well taken care of in the future, as she and her child have been made wards of the Peruvian government. It has been rumored that they may visit the New York exposition.

tern is the preparation of the road base before final surfacing. To guarantee long life and easy maintenance of the finished roadway, particular attention has been given to provide a firm, consolidated foundation. A typical method used to accomplish this purpose is illustrated above. Here, a carefully proportioned mixture of coarse and fine soil materials has been placed on the roadway, then stabilized with calcium chloride, a chemical used to absorb and retain moisture. During the time preceding application of the bituminous surface, this stabilized layer solidifies and packs down as dense as concrete. In furnishing this firm foundation for the final surface, the engineers have greatly reduced the possibility of future frost bumps and dips

NORTH M’EBSTER UTILITY SOLD TO NIPSCO Public service commission approval of the sale of the North Webster Light and Water Company to the Northern Indiana Public Service -Company is re quested in a joint petition which has been filed with the commission by the two utilities. The former company operates in Kosciusko County, which is within the area servedipby the Northern Indiana. The purchase price was $81..000. | Northern Indiana Public Service Company has petitioned that its rates, which are considerably lower than those now in effect, be placed in effect on acquistion of the property. Approximately 1,000 customers at North Webster, Oswego, Clunette, and\ Tippecanoe, Barbee, Webster, Irisri and Plew lakes and in adjacent rural territory are served by the North Webster Light and Water Company. Negotiations for the sale were conducted by D. B. Cunningham, secretary-manager and principal owner of the North Webster company, and E. D. Anderson, vicepresident, and Joseph S. Lessig, Warsaw, service manager, of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. Mr. Cunningham started his company about nineteen years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Matt Abts, Mr. Chris Aimen, and Mrs. Herbert McMann spent Sunday in Chicago. They returned Tuesday morning. When David Hanson of Connecticut married Bertha Furlong of Rochester, N. H., the ceremony was performed by one brother, another was best man, a third sang, a fourth was an usher, and a fifth merely looked on.

Above: Right over the tops of mountains is the route of Sky-Line Drive. Firm road foundations, topped with skidproof pavements, provide added safety for motor travellers. Left: Spreading the white flakes of calcium chloride. This material is used in stabilizing the road base before the final paved surface is constructed. - which are so dangerous to motorists and costly to This, of course, is but one of the measures taken to insure safety and comfort for travellers of the mountain route. The bituminous pavement is of coarse texture to prevent skidding, stout guard-rails give protection wherever necessary, and parking overlooks are provided at frequent intervals to afford panoramic views without the danger of stopping on the travelled way. When the Blue Ridge Parkway section of this scenic highway is completed a few years hence, American motorists will enjoy a mountain drive without parallel in the whole world —a monumental tribute to the ingenuity of the n ountry’s highway engineers.
