DEMOCRATSPLAN
FURIOUS CLOSE
Tight Organization Is Being
Perfected,

Democratic workers in the State
organization are perfecting a tight
machine with the intention of put.
ting on a finish campaign in the
sixty days preceding the election.
Organization meetings for the First.
Second, Third and Fourth congress
sional districts will begin next Tues
day with a meeting at Evansville.
A meeting of Marion County
Democrats was held this afternoon
with Russell j. Ryan, county chair
man, in the National City Bank
Bldg. A thorough organization for
the coming election is the aim Of the
get-together. Democrats here are
beginning to breathe easier on the
Khan issue, which drew so many
erstwhile Democrats to the support
of Republican candidates, in the pri-
mary. it is said. The assumption is
that the brothers who kicked over
the traces in the primary now realize
a regular election is a different mat
ter. and that propaganda First a
Democrat and then a Klansman," is
having it's effect toward a united
party front.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-Allied confer
ence on reparations entered its seeo-
ond and most important stage when

today.
Arrival of the German delegation
lent a touch of color and excite.
ment TO the scenes around the for
eign office as the delegates gath
cred for the full session.
Police on Guard
London police had taken extraor-
binary precautions to prevent any
demonstrations. Even amateur pho.
tographers were forbidden to use
their cameras.
The Germans arrived in London
this morning and were greeted at
the station by Sir Ronald Walter
house, representing the government.
When the plenary session was
opened, Macdonald made speech
of welcome to the German delegates
and expressed the hope that London
would furnish an atmosphere con-
ducive to .amicable agreement.
Speaking in German. Chancellor
Marx replied. thanking the British
Prime Minister and expressing de-
termination to accept provisions Of
the experts plea and to force
through the Reichstag the necessary
legislation.
Upon the success Of this con-
ference depends the fate Of Ger.
many-the fate of Europe. Good
will and sincerity are necessary to
success and in that spirit the Ger
man delegates purpose to negotiate

PARKED STREET
CARS ARE TABOO
Hamper Fire Department
After Midnight, Chief Says,

Investigation of the practice Of
the Indianapolis Street Railway Co.
in parking cars on streets after mid
night was ordered by the board of
safety today when Fire Chief John
J. O'Brien said the cars would handi
cap firemen at downtown fires.
Recent surveys by O'Brien showed
cars parked in Georgia st. and
South Capitol Ave. The streets
were blocked so fire apparatus could
not get through, O'Brien said. The
same condition was found in Nc
Lean Pl. at the Illinois st. barns.
Police Chief Herman Rikhoff was
ordered to notify the street car COM
pany, and the board Of works was
informed of the condition.
The board granted O'Brien a leave
of absence, starting Aug. IS. He will
spend most of this time at the fire
chiefs convention at Buffalo.
Twelve new fire alarm boxes were
ordered, and one was ordered in
stalled at Twenty Fifth and Yandes

LUMBER IS MADE
FROM CANE FIBRE
Has High Insulating Value
Much Cheaper,
BIZ Times Sp scidI

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-We will all
live in thermos bottles some day. ac-
cording to 3. G.. Dahlberg Of Chi
cago, who says the day is coming
when synthetic lumber will take the
place of natural lumber for building
houses, and that it's insulating
quality is such that homes built Of
it will be verilable thermus bottles
Synthetic lumber. as described by
Mr.. Dahlberg In a recent address
here, is made from the waste fibre
of sugar cane, and while its manu-
facture is still in its infancy, with
the rapid depletion of our forests it
is bound to become one of the
worlds greatest industries.
Two qualities it has in an unusual
degree, he says. 1t is a great in
sulator and a sound deadener.
"It has the insulating value of
cork" he continued. Homes built
of it are warmer In winter and
cooler in summer than houses of
natural timber. This means a ma
terial reduction in the winter coal
bill. It also means more comforta-
BILE homes.
while this new artificial lumber
is for the mansion as well as the cot
tage, it is primarily the poor man s
me-building material. 1t is cheap
er to build with it than natural lum-
Der 1t weighs only one-fourth as
much as pine board, which reduces
transportation charges. It makes it
possible for the poor man to own his
own home. So, finally, when the
world begins to live in a ther1nos
bottle, it will at least live COM
fortably."
