Indiana Man, Misguided in Effort
to Aid, Grabbed Line Trail
ing on Ground.

DETROIT, Mich. October 1.-The
efforts of man in Indiana to assist
in what he thought was an attempt
to land their balloon were respon-
sible for their craft being nosed out
of first place in the elimination race,
starting from Birmingham last Sat-
urday. according to Lieut.. Richard
+. Thompson of Fort Omaha Ind
Lieut.. Harold f. Weeks of Rossfield,
Calf. who reached here from Rich
mond. Ontario. where they landed,
While travelling at a low altitude
over Indiana a man noticed the drag
rope trailing along the ground and
tied a knot in it. believing it would
catch in some obstruction and aid in
what he took to be an attempt to
land. Before they-were able 20 rise to
a higher altitude, the airmen said, the
knot caught in fences and trees, at
times threatening to throw them from
the basket, and greatly slowed up
their progress.
While crossing Lake Erie, Lieut..
Thompson said, they were at a good
height, when they struck a down
draft. Before they could throw out
ballast they had shot downward un-

Activities.

Uncle Sam has opened up A new
service. He has established a bureau
of information for the public and for
business men in particular regarding
all the activities of the government.
This announcement was made TODAY
by Herbert D. Brown, chief Of the Unit
ed States Bureau of Efficiency, which
has inaugurated this service.
1t is an outgrowth of the bureaus
inquiry into the duplication of work in
the government service, an inquiry un-
dertaken by direction of Congress In
connection with this Investigation an
index was built up consisting of about
10000 entries of all major activities of
the government from 1913 to date, and
it is the purpose of the bureau to keep
this index current.
While the index was primarily in
tended solely for government use it was
found to form too valuable a directory
Of government functions to be confined
to government officials. so the bureau of
efficiency has created section for the
purpose of answering inquiries as to
what has been done by the government
in certain fields Of endeavor and where
to go to find the information pertaining
to any activity. In other words, the in
dex is a reference index to activities
and offices.
If one is interested, for instance in
the primitive condition Of prehistoric
man, in present day activities in educa-
tion, in agriculture, or in commerce, and
does not know what the government has
done and is doing in these fields, or

rat continued trouble in Mexico may preciptate con-
