HIT RECORD IN
ROAD BUILDING
Build One-FOurth Mile in
Single Day.

Records for laying concrete pavement
for the State highway department were
shattered recently. when a crew working
on Federal aid project No. II. a twelve
mile stretch between Scherervil1e to the
east corporate line Of Lake County on
the way TO Valparaiso, built nearly a
quarter Of n mile OF road in a sin gle
day. Lawrence Lyons, director ANNOUNCED
today. This contract is held by the Fed
eral Paving Company, Chicago.
By actual measurement the pavement
laid was 1899 lineal feet or 2,47s square
yards, as the road is eighteen feet wide.
Two outfits were pressed into service, a
central mixing plant and a central pro-
portioning plant. The previous maxi
mum OF pavement laid in a single day
by one outfit is COZ Iineal feet, depart.
ment officials say. They believe the new
record will long stand as an unusual
feat in road construction in Indiana.

LEO SAYS WOMEN
GET THE MEDALS

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-An the iaurels for
faithful lasting love were handed to the
women today by Leo Ditrichstein, the
great lover" of the American stage, The
only limit to the love affairs of a man
is the number of women in the world
but a woman tastes of love only once In
he Rife, according to the specialist in
feminine affections.
Man is a polygamous animal by ma
ture," Ditrichstein said. He will love
one woman and go away to love others.
Women are different
81 have known many women TO live un.
married all their lives simply because
they could not marry the man they loved
But have never known a man to do
that"
Real love is all the dictionary says It
is-pius complete mental comradeship,
Ditrichstein believes. The actor, how
ever, does not draw his conclusions from
his own life. Mrs. Ditrichstein is his
hobby he always tours with her.

BLOWER SYSTEMS
BECOME POPULAR
Fans Play Important Part in
Modern Industry.

Blower systems and fans, only a few
years ago considered a fad or luxury by
conservative manufacturing concerns, are
now an integral part Of almost every
large Industrial company and the factory
that is not equipped with one or more
of these Is the exception and not the
rule today. An interesting feature OF
this phase of modern business is that
year by year new uses are found for
| fans, uses requiring new types and new
models.
At the offices Of the indianapolis Fan
Company, 32-40 East South street, may
be found fans Of all sizes and descrip-
tons, ranging from the big metal housed
blower or exhauster used in large build
ings and rooms to the little disc fan.
OF course one Of the most common and
obvious uses to which a fan can be put
is for ventilation purposes, to remove,
foul, warm, overly used air and replace
it with clean fresh air from the outside.
| Office buildings, restaurant and hotel
kitchens, laundries. etc, have found fans
! almost essential to the conduct Of their
business.
But this is not the only use to which
fans are jut by wide margin Factories
make use Of them to collect dust and
lint and to free the air from dangerous
ana explosive Yapors. Mines use them
to supply fresh air to miners working
many feet below the surface Of the
earth, and to keep the shafts free from
deadly gas. No modern woodworking
plant is complete without q fan system
leading to every planer, wood finishing
machine or cutter. These fans remove
dust and shayings, and collect them In
piles or bins Systems Of this kind may
be found In almost any furniture fac
| tory, planing mill or Woodworking plant.
The increased efficiency of plants so
equipped is said TO more than pay for
the cost Of installation and mainte-
nance within very short period Of time
In the reduction of fire hazard alone the
saving is a marked one.
One Of the newest uses to which ex-
haust systems have been adapted is In
varnish rooms to remove the vapor and
spray resulting from the use Of modern
varnish spraying devices. Were It not
for the fans in use a room where severa |
sprayers were In continuous rise would
become untenable in a very sdort time
So great is the demand for fans from
all parts Of the world that the Indiana
Fan Company has made shipments during
the thirty years Of its existence, not
only to all points in this country but to
Australia and even to Russia.

pany and H D. Hamilton, secretary and
/ treasurer.

FIRE LOSS MORE
THAN STATE TAX
Nine Million Dollars Cost of
1920 BlaZes.

Indiana taxpayers pay more per capita
each year for fire losses than they dc
in State taxes.
Last year more than nina million dol
lars in Indiana property was destroyed
by fire. This Is three hundred thousand
dollars more than was paid into the State
treasury in taxes
Indiana taxpayers pay 1926 per year
in State taxes per capita and 1915 or q
difference of forty-ni cents is paid by
che taxpayers per capita on FIRE losses
Taxpayers pay this difference according
10 the dre marshals office because the cost
Of insurance IS included on every product
which is produced from a manufacturer
or dealer
Each dealer figures the cost Of his in
suranee In with the article manufactured,
Chester Davis, attorney for the State fire
marsbals office said today.
'If his property is destroyed by FIRE
the insurance LIZ paid by those who have
bought his wares"
The exact amount Of money lost by FIRE
last year was S9546.017 the amount Of
taxes collected was S9,333.1T7.
Loss from fire has decreased approx
mately 81 100000 during the FIRST sir
months Of 1921 over the same period OF
time in 1920. according to Newman Miller
State fire marshal
Last year more than coo worth
Of property was destroyed by fire losses
as compared with slightly more than three
million dollars this year.
"The state Gre marshau's office Is work
ing ON the theory that an ounce Of pre-
vention is worth a pound Of cure" Miller
said
Last year Of eighty eight fires inves-
tigated thirty eight were found to be OF
incendiary origin. Thirty-fouH persons
were indicted and twenty brought to
trial during the year 1920 Twenty of the
twenty one brought to trial by attorney
for the fire marshal's office were convicted
and received sentences ranging from one
to fourteen years
First degree arson carries sentence of
from two to twenty one years, and fine
Of not exceeding twice the amount Of
property destroyed One man, watch
man for an indianapolis lumber company
was convicted on a charge Of arson and
the trial Judge sentenced him to prison
for twenty one years and fined him the
amount of the property destroyed. This
amounted to about fourteen thousand
dollars and as prisoners time is valued
at one dollar a day, his sentence Of from
two to twenty one years must be served
before the fine can sewed.

SILENT ORATOR
ALWAYS ON JOB
photograph of Local Company
Flashes Civic and Patriotic
Messages.

In keeping with the rapid growth of
the city in the past decade the rapid and
almost unprecedented development of the
Merchants Heat and Light Company
since 1914 affords an interesting basis of
comparing the demands of a steadily
growing city of 1921 with those of only
4 few years back.
Seven years ago the gross revenue Of
the company amounted to $4,000 for
the year. Statistics for the past year
show that the gross business amounted
to the enormous sum of more than
100000. Not content with this the
interests owning the company are plan
ming for still further expansion, and
plans are nov well under way by which
seven plants Ii. the triangle, the points
OF which are Indianapolis, Kokomo and
Terre Haute, will be merged into one
giant company.
Officials OF the company say that this
will result in far greater service re-
liability TO the consumer and ultimately
In cheaper rates for an improved service
One OF the unique features of the com
pany's service to the community has
been the now famous "Silent Orator"
which nightly from the top Of the Mer-
chants Heat and Light Company build
ing, Meridian and Washington street,
spells out its message to more than $500
persons who read as they walk.
This is said to be the Oldest photograph
in continuous service IN the United
States. Since It first started operation
July &c. 1916. It never has been out Of
service. It holds the proud record Of
having delivered messages from the
President Of the United States during the
World War and of bringing cheer and
patriotic messages to thousands Of citi-
Gems during the dark days when the Hun
was making his last bid for world su-
premacy in his hnal drive on Paris In
the spring of 1918
The Silent Orator never has been com
mercialized, officials Of the company say,
It never has displayed its messages for
pay and it has been thrown open free 10
patriotic and civic movements ever since
it first began to fash out its messages.

ARDMORE, Okla, Dec. 21.-The
mystery which has surrounded the

Britain Ready to Accept
Submarine Decision of
Majority, 1t Is Asserted
BY GEORGE n. HOLMES,


Great Britain will bow to the will OF
the majority II the Washington con.
ference decides in favor Of the reten.
ton of the submarine as q weapon OF
warfare, a spokesman for the British
delegation said today.
The British delegates would be will.
ing to accede In the general interests
Of the conference and of the naval
limitation program, II was explained,
though they fully appreciate that a
unanimous agreement 10 necessary Tor
any action of the conference to become
binding.
Mr.. Balfour has no intention Of al.
lowing the subject Of submarines to
be disposed Of. however. until the
British have had an opportunity to
make a full public statement Of its
reasons for wishing to have the un.
dersea craft abolished, 1t was said.
Details of the British attitude are
being worked out today by British
naval experts. preparatory to presenta'
ton of Great Brttatn's views before
the naval subcommittee Of fifteen,
probably tomorrow.
There has been absolutely no reces.
sion from the announced plan Of the
British delegation to make q formal
request upon the conference that the
use Of the submarine be prohibited.
It was said. Either Mr.. Balfour or
Lord Lee, as first lord of the ad-
miralty, will present the British case.
Regardless Of the decision of sub
committee, Great Britain will ask for
plenary session of the conference
at an early date, at which her spokes.
men will make a full statement. This
session possibly may take place on
Friday next, 1t was said, though the
complexity Of the submarine question
may render II necessary to postpone
the plenary session until after the
holidays. The British delegation also
will ask that a full report of the pro.
ceedings before the subcommittee
be made public.
While Holland, Belgium, Portugal
and China will have no part in thu
discussion Of the submarine questir
before the naval subcommittee, thoS1
nations undoubtedly will be given an
opportunity to express their views
fully in the plenary session Of the con.
ference, the British spokesman said.
Holland is understood to be strongly
in favor Of the retention Of subma.
rines.
While Great Britain may have views
as to submarine tonnage which
should be allotted to France, the
British delegation holds It would be an
impertinence for Great Britain to
suggest any limitation In that regard.
As the initiator Of the naval limita-
ton plan, however, the United States
is expected to submit proposal for
the limitation of French and italian
auxiliary craft, just as in the case of
capital ship tonnage.

LLOYD GEORGE AND BRAND
DEADLocKED ON INDEMNITY

LONDON Dec. PA strong pos
sibility developed today that Premier
Lloyd George and Premier BRAND
would not reach any definite decis-
ion on the German indemnity situa-
ton.
1t was admitted that only slight
progress has been made because of
the divergent views among the ex-
perts.
Is dissatisfaction on the part Italy
and Belgium because their premiets
were not invited to the conferences.
Italy and Belgium hold that they are
both concerned over Germany's de-
fault of indemnity payments and
should be consulted.
1t is probable that another confer
ence much broader than the present
one will be called.
