Some Plans Unannounced


For the year 1924. It is conservative
ly estimated by business men inter
ested in building operations that the
total new building projects begun will
be in excess of s27, 500 900. and to this
total may be added considerably more
IL several big projects in the down
town district that have not been def
nitely announced are advanced to the
stage OF starting operations within
1924.
There has been a particularly no
tioeable increase in the building of
homes in Indianapolis in the last few
years. The population of the city has
been increasing with regularity at
the rate of about 1000 new inhabit-
ants a month since the last Govern
ment census in 1920. At that time
Indianapolis was credited with a popu.
lation of 314,194 persons. On July 1,
1929, the Government estimated. the
population had increased to a total
OF 342.71S persons. This has made
necessary the erection OF hundreds of
new homes.
Building Each Hour
1t was shown by the city building
departments records, scanned recent
ly to determine how much home build
ing had been going on, that $500
frame dwellings had been erected dur
ing the year 1923-more than one for
each working hour of the year. In
the last three years 1t is estimated
that 5000 new dwelling houses of all
type, exclusive of apartment houses,
had been built in Indianapolis.
With this record to look back upon,
and with the need for new homes con-
-+ov'+Iv increasing, on account of the
steady increase in population and the
.,uusItion Of new industries by the
city, 1t is safe to predict a oontinu-
alton of an intensive hons building
campaign during this year.

sentative Edward Little of Kansas
today offered in the House reso-

of people coming to the Capitol

mobile was making at least fifty
miles an hour, and that after
striking the woman it dragged her

A JaUanese Intention
1.-THE END

Japan and China embroider their
colors on their materials. Sumatra
dyes the threads and weaves them in,
India stamps, and the South Sea IS
lands paint them on, but Java paints
the pattern on In wax, and dyes the
colors in. Batik, the process used In
Java, is a science, an art, an indus
try, a religion, a mystery, an inheri-
lance and a treasure peculiar to this
tropical island. Batik makers draw
their designs in hot wax on white cot.
ton cloth, and then color the uncov-
cred portions of the pattern by dip
ping the waxed cloth again and again
into watts of vegetable dye. That the
Javanese have been able to make the
plain cotton go rich and magnificent
a fabric entities Java to a high place
In the world of art. As the batiker
draws, the hot wax flows from the
miniature spout OF very small cop
per cup, or tjanting, which is fastened
securely in one end of a short bamboo
handle. This instrument was invent
ed by the Javanese.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiIm8r'S SWamp-RO

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, ''Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

our workers remain at their labor"
So the white man had guessed.
Marakito Immediately spread out his
hands In denial.
"The money paid to you by the Jap

In spite of the improperly of the
question, which was entirely lacking
in bushido, Marakito must add: 'I-

How, then, do you returnY
Wells grinned. "Ask the gods" was
all the answer he would give.
Marakito shuffled away, seeking the
village priest. The same thought was

Perhaps the god Of this dead-one-

Own?" the priest hazarded.
"God? He has none, being a seiyo-

The night was so lilaceous, so still,
so very sweet, that old Kaminari of
the Thunder was unable to inform
them OF their mistake. Instead, he
peeped down at the beach where Ellen
and Bob walked arm in arm. He must
search for a moment; found them
close to the cliffs which shadow the
blanched sand.
He saw the taller figure stoop, saw
a happy white face raise. Smiled (the
villagers called it shooting star, but,
