DRILL CORES TO TEST
HARD SURFACE ROADS,
BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July IA
few months ago the Indiana state high
way commission purchased machine
for drilling cores out of hard surface
pavements. 1t cost $1,000, and Its &C
QUESTION is to determine If concrete
pavement is laid according to specifi-
cations, especially as to the dcsignat-
ed thickness of slab.
The first test was made in Lake
county on a section of the Lincoln
Highway, and 1000 feet Of pavement
rejected as not up to specifications.
The contractor decided to give the in
ferior pavement to the state rather
than tear it up and rebuild it, so ap-
proximately $4,000 was deducted from
his contract price in the final settle
ment.
Lately by tho purchase of equipment
costing $3.50 the core driller can be
used for bridge foundation explora
ton. The driller cuts a core -four
inches in diameter out of solid rock
and when this core is tested in the
commissions laboratory, engineers
seeking to locate a solid foundation be
meath the earth's surface and frequent.
ly far below river bed, know positive
ly what strength the foundation will
be which is to be used as a support
for the bridge crossing.
Pays For Itself.
This machine paid for itself many.
many times in the short time it has
been in use in this state, and it is one
of the best investments the Indiana
state road body ever made. Indiana
is one of the early states to adopt the
core tester, and its advent into state
road work was opposed by some peo-
pie on the ground it was unfair to con-
tractors. The commission takes the
position that Hoosier roads and
! bridges must be according to specifica-
! tons, and its use is with all fairness
to taxpayers and contractors alike
The first place where the tester was
used after being equipped for bridge
work, was in Orange county near
French Lick whore the highway COM
mission is building a concrete bridge
across the famous Lost River. Here
the tester took out cores from solid
rock % feet below the surface of the
water. The machine is now working
on the east end Of the National road

Think Mexican Secretary
May Discuss Politics
At American Capital
(Rv Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, July IA. Official
sources have declined to comment on
the unexpected delay in the departure
from New York of Secretary of Fin
ance de la Huerta, following his re-
cent conferences there with the Inter
national Bankers and Oil men. That
his return was suddenly held up is
evidenced by the announcement that
the marriage of Hortensia Gales,
daughter of the secretary of the in
terror, and Fernando Torreblanca,
President Obregon's private secretary,
which had been set for the end of
this week, has been postponed because
of Secretary de la Huertas inability
to reach Mexico City in time.
Several members of the secretary S
staff crossed the border at Laredo yes
terday on their homeward journey, in
dicating that Senior de la Huertas de-
lay is concerned with affairs other
than banking or oil. The suggestion
lis advanced that these may be, of a
political nature, involving a visit by
! the secretary to Washington.

Girls Detention Home
Guarded after Break
For Freedom By ID
(By Associated Press


DETROIT, Mich, July 14.-Polce re-
NAMED on duty at the House of the
Good Shepherd, a girls detention
home, today, to prevent a recurrence
of the break for liberty which resulted
in Il of the inmates gaining tempo
rary freedom yesterday. Other Off
GERS and officials of the juvenile court
started an investigation to determine
the cause of the uprising which threat
ened before police reinforcements ar
rived to result in scores of escapes.
The institution, presided over by
Sister st. Frances Xavier, usually is
unguarded and when the girl inmates,
ranging in age from 16 to 10 years.
made their break for liberty only IA
foot wall stood in their way. Some
of them scaled the wall and fed
through the street and alleys before
police arrived and forced them into
the buildings. A fight with the officers
ensued in which some of the blue coats
sustained scratches, lacerated shins
and bites. To add to the confusion,
water faucets were opened by the re-
belious inmates and the first two floors
of the building were flooded, while
many windows were broken.
The sister superior announced she
had been unable to find out the com
plant Of her charges, but believed the
trouble was melted as a protest against
the recent transfer of a sister who
had been directly in charge of the in
mates and to whom they had become
attached.
Two of the girls believed to have
been the leaders of the revolt were
transferred last night to the women s
detention home for investigation.

Moore Predicts Hot
Wave For Richmond

Residents of Richmond again will
sweIter in the throes Of hot wave
which will arrive about the first of
the week, according to Weatherman
Moore. The first touch of the coming
intense heat may be felt Saturday,
but indications are that the weather
will remain cool Friday night, Mr..
Moore said.
The coming heat wave is due to a
center of very low barometric pres
sure over the northwest which will
cause the winds to shift in this direc-
ton, thus bringing the hot winds
from the south across this section of
the country, the weatherman says.
Predictions are that during this hot
spell the mercury will hover around

SAY MARS HAS SAME
SEASONS AS WORLD,
BUT TWICE AS LONG
tBy Associated Press,

: FLAGSTAFF, Ariz, July 14-Mem-
bers of the staff of Lowell Observa-
tory here are elated over recent
studies of the planet Mars which,
they assert, bear out the theories of
the late Percival Lowell. founder of
the observatory. as to snowfall and
vegetation on the little red planet.
Mars, nearest neighbor of this world
with the exception of Venus, is closer
to the earth now than at any time in
IS years. Observations have been in
progress for the past five months
each hour of every night that weather
conditions would permit. Hundreds Of!
photographs and charts have been
made.
The seasons on Mars have the
same significance as on our earth and
occur in the same manner, but are
about twice the length of our own,
according to Doctors E. c. and V. NJ.
Sliphef of the observatory staff. A
. statement by them on the results of
the latest observations here follows:
Winter has been occurring in the
southern hemisphere of the planet
Mars and the extensive dark areas
there are now faint and have been so
for some time, betokening the dead
season of vegetation in conformity
with the view held by Lowell regard
ing the seasonable changes on the
planet.
See Mantle of Snow
"The large winter cap of white
b u + tol,
I. for some months has appeared to con-
sist of only mist or clouds covering
. the south polar regions of the planet
down to latitude 40 degrees, is now
dissipating and disclosing a mantle
of snow beneath. The spring season
for the southern hemisphere is now
approaching, the season there at pres
ent corresponding to our March 81,
and these changes are characteristic
of late winter over the south of Mars.
I'm the northern hemisphere au-
tumn is arriving and the polar cap
there has already become CONSPICUOUS,
having increased rapidly during the
last few Marian nights. On the night
/, of June II it was observed that when
the planets longitude 265 came into
Marian sunrise, and therefore visi-
: BILE to us, that a vast area there had
during the preceding night been COW
cred by a bright canopy. This bright
hood faded off toward the equator
but was discernible down nearly to
fifty degrees north latitude and yelled
the darker markings of the northern
part of the planet. This event mark
ed the first really big autumn storm
in the northern hemisphere of Mars
so far this year. On that date the
Marian season correspondent to our
September IS. Early indications Of
autumn made their appearance \
month and half ago at Marian
season corresponding to our late Aug
ust. These observations have been
recorded on photographs.
These conditions and changes oc-
curing in unison with the planets
seasons indicate that conditions are
more analogous to those of the earth
than to any of the other planets"
