Of the Helm-Lewis Company.
This company has two large plants
at Fourteenth and Fall Creek and
and cement columns for residence
and business construction work, but
just now the most interes ing part
Of its output, at least to the garden
lover, is the garden furniture.
Need No Attention
A visit to the plant offers a world
Of suggestion for identifying the
lawn, whether it is large or small
one. There are garden seats made
Of concrete that can hardly be dis.
tinguised from stone and, like stone,
seldom need replacement and require
no painting or repairing. Rain and
winters snow does net harm them;
they are a permanent part of the
lawn.
Concrete flower boxes that do not
warp or require yearly painting are
also to be had at this plant, and
ornamental vases that are beautiful
in themselves and doubly lovely
when filled with blooming plants
are offered for porch use.
Bath for Birds
And of course the bird baths
must not be overlooked, for birds
are the most welcome visitors OF
summer and the really desirable
birds always prefer a home with a
bath. If 1t is a concrete pedestal
bath where the robin may enjoy his

COMBINE ORNAMENTS
AND LINE SIMPLICITY
ExempIified in Somerset
House and Other Resi-
dences-Center Hall Fav-
ored Generally - Carved
Stone Used in Interior.
BY Molly Elliott

The English types of archi-
lecture based upon the Gothic
have become familiar to the
public both in the original
houses and in modern repro
auctions. And every one, of
course, recognizes the Colonial
house-though much is blamed
on the colonies that never was
created there.
All is not colonial that boasts a
green shutter. For, chronologically
speaking between the earlier Eng
lish type of house and the Colonial
there came the Georgian style, and
in Indianapolis this attractive type
is not so we'll known as it deserves
to be. The three Georges who
reigned in England before and dur
ing the period Of the American
Revolution may have had their
faults, but they at least encouraged
the development of that enduringly
beautiful style in architecture known
as the Georgian.
In Somerset House
In this style, exemplified in Som,
erset house and other well-known
English residences, one finds neither
the somber heaviness of the Tudor
style nor the severe simplicity of
the Colonial.
For the decorators, and architects,
furniture designers of that age
turned to Italy for their inspiration,
and from the Italian artists re-
ceived the suggestion for those
delicate wIeaths, sculptured cherubs
and graceful garlands that are char
acteristic of the Latin.
Instead Of using these ornaments
to excess, however, the Georgian
artists combined them with sturdy
Anglo-Saxon simplicity Of line, with
very satisfactory results.
The arrangement of the Georgian
house is similar to that Of the
Colonial; a center hall is favored and
the center entrance door is an orna-
mental feature of the exterior.
Ornamental Stonework
Above the door, however, one fire.
quently sees lunette Of stone deco
rated with carved wreaths and gar
lands. Ornamental stonework re-
lieves the severity of the brick walls.
In the interior of houses of this
type the carved stone is most ef-
fectively used for the fireplace, while
the ceiling Of the first floor rooms
not infrequently shows modelled
weaths and garlands.
One Of the finest examples of the
Georgian type house in Indianapolis
is to be found at ALL Washington
Blvd, and colonial type house ad-
joining it on the north serves ex-
cellently to illustrate the difference
between colonial and Georgian styles
of architecture.

dence would show any furniture TO
advantage.
The house is built on a ninety
foot lot in the restricted Cedar Crest
addition. A side driveway of crushed
stone leads from the street to the
two-car garage at the back Of the
lot. A graceful pear tree and a
young elm shade the front lawn. and
ornamental shrubbery has been
planted.
The exterior of the house has been
painted u light gray with white trim.
Shutters Of apple green are at each
side Of the small.paned windows, and
French doors open from the nDrch
into the living room, dining room
and center hall. This hallway ex-
tends from the south porch to a
glassed door on the north side of
the house with a long living room
on the west and the dining room
and kitchen on the east. Between
the kitchen and dining room is a
convenient serving pantry with
built-in buffet. and the kitchen opens
into an enclosed vestibule into which
the ice-box has been built.

SPAIN TO BUY WHEAT.
Must Depend on Imports to Make
Up Shortage.

MADRID, April Spain is about
to open the gates to the importation of
small quantities Of wheat to make
up for the acute shortage in Spain.
Customs duties may be modified If
circumstances require.
The director general for provisions
says that in view of lack of wheat
in Spain the price jumped from 80 to
50 pesetas per metric quinta1 G01.43
pounds). The importation of foreign
wheat is to be permitted only until
the shortage has been overcome. 1t
is believed that about 10000 tons will
suffice to bring down the price to So

SARGENT'S HOBBIES
AREP|PESAND RUGS
Drives Car of Ancient Vim
tage, But Prefers Team.
Fishing Is Chief Sport.
By the Associated Press.

LUDLOW, VT, March 1s.-John G.
Sargent, new Attorney General of the
United States, is known here as a
man of many-sided interests. His hob
bies range from the collection OF
pipes, Of which he is reputed to have
more than 100 to that OF Oriental
rugs, while for recreation he prefers
nothing SO much as fishing.
Although the new Attorney General
has owned an automobile for years,
he sim prefers to harness up a pair
of horses to a spring wagon and drive
off for a days outing to some nearby
village. His car is Of ancient vintage,
but 1t seems to serve the compare
lively simple requirements of Sar-
gent better than might a new ma
chine.
AT home he revels in his pipes and
books. Frequently when Winter snow
drifts heavily upon his town he set
ties down in his library for a day or
two of repose and study.
When the Winter gives way to
Spring he busies himself with the
family garden. Perhaps because as a
boy he worked in his fathers fields
and later while going through Tufts
College helped to earn tuition money
through summer labor on Vermont
farms, he has always kept his own
little garden, which materially helps
to stock the cellar at Harvest time.

To the self-same Vermont hills from
which he is himself sprung, Calvin
Coolidge has gone for a new Attor-
ney General OF the United States.
John Garibaldi Sargent first saw the
light of day at Ludlow, VT, which Is
IL miles south of Plymouth. where
the President was born. Ludlow is
the nearest railroad center for Ply
mouth, on the Boston and Maine Rail-
road. Unless one drives into The
Notch, by which name Plymouth is
also known, one can only get there
by travelling to Ludlow by train.
From that ancestral heath and boy
hood environment, Calvin Coolidge
has taken the man who now Is to
head the Department OF Justice.
The President has long had faith
in Massachusetts" But his faith in
Vermont Is of even more venerable
vintage. Vermont Is my birthright,

$415,000 IN REALTY
is SOLD FOR TAXES
Collector Reports Delinquency for
Year 1924 as Largest in
District History.

More than $4,000 in delinquent real
estate taxes for the fiscal year 1924
was taken in as result of the auc-
ton tax sale last week. Collector {.
NJ. Towers announced today. This was
the largest sale in the history of the
District government.
Out of about $4,000 parcels of land
offered for sale 9.546 were sold. There
were 80 bidders at the sale. but four
individuals bought in the bulk of the
property offered.
When a piece of property is sold for
taxes the purchaser merely pays to
the District the amount of tax, plus
the penalty that has accrued since the
tax became due. The purchaser re-
ceives a tax certificate, which he is
required to hold for two years. At
any time during that period the origi-
nal owner may redeem his property
by paying the tax and penalty to the
tax sale purchaser.
II, at the end of the two years. the
owner has not redeemed, the tax sale
purchaser is entitled to apply to the
Commissioners for a tax deed. which
constitutes a cloud on the title until
the owner reaches a settlement with
the holder of the deed.

NAVYS NEW PLANE
UNDERGOING CHANGES

Steps to correct the error in con-
struction of the Navy's new training
plane which prevented it from spin
ming normally now are being taken
by the Bureau of Aeronautics al the
Boeing factory in Seattle. Wash,
under the supervision of Lieut.. Ralph
A. Ofstie of the bureau here.
Engineers of the bureau, after ex-
haustive wind-tunnel tests on models.
came to the conclusion that a larger
tail surface was necessary to prevent
the ship from going into a fat spin
when the controls were set for a
normal tail spin. No other fault has
developed in the plane, which has
been officially adopted as the ship for
student aviators, it is declared.
Although a sample of the plane
was put through tests at Pensacola,
Fla, in competition with ships sub
mitted by other manufacturers, the
Boeing was selected because 1t was
the opinion of the trial board it's
performance surpassed all others
At the naval air station, Anacostia,
D. c., few weeks ago, however,
Lieut.. A. ]. Williams, the Navy's
speed ace, sought to put it through a
normal spin and instead of the nose
hanging downward 1t pulled up and
the ship fell rapidly to earth in a
series of wide circles. Lieut. Will
liams escaped from the crash I'M
hurt and a few days later Lieut.. H. ].
Brow, his racing competitor, at
tempted a spin with another of the
type on the Pacific Coast and he. like
wise crashed.
Lieut.. Williams was asked to rep
resent the Navy at the factory and
supervise the corrections being made
on the other planes now under manu-
facture, but was excused from the
duty by Rear Adm raj William A
Moffett, chief of the bureau, in order
to conclude his law studies here.

RAILWAY CHARGES
Congress Committee Hears
Northern Pacific Plea for
3,OOO,OOO Acres.

A joint congressional committee
began consideration today of the land
grants 60 the Northern Pacific Rail-
way. over which a dispute has arisen
between the road and the Department
OF Agriculture, and which involves
3,000, 900 acres In the national forests
Of Montana, Idaho and Washington
The railroad company claims the
land under grants dating back to
Civil War days. while Government
officials assert it has received what
1t Is entitled to.
Promised SO-Mile Belt.
President Donnelly of the road, the
first witness, sketched the history OF
the line and declared the law of 1864
provided that the president should
have lands surveyed 40 miles in width
on both sides OF the road and if this
covenant had been performed there
never would have been a shortage Of
lands with which to supply the grant.
Mr.. Donnelly commended the survey
of the lands should have been made
by the Government with the compile
ton of each 25 miles of the railroad S
construction, as this would have en-
abled the railroad to obtain patents
to the land, which, in turn, could have
been available to the road in securing
funds with which to continue construc-
ton.
Representative Raker. Democrat,
California. asked If there was any law
or court decision TO compel the Gov
eminent to make this survey.
This question precipitated pro-
longed discussion, Mr.. Donne!ly taking
.one view and Mr.. Raker another.
At this point Mr.. Donnelly summed
the railroads position as follows:
Both Sides in Default.
There were many good reasons
why Congress accepted the road,
though not finished in time, and ex-
cused the company from its apparent
default One OF these reasons is that
the Government was always in de-
fault in respect of its obligations to
the company. 1t was expressly pro-
vided by section OF the act of 1854
that the President should cause the
lands to be surveyed for 40 miles in
width on both sides of the entire line
after the general route should be
fixed and as fast as might be re-
quired by the construction of the
railroad.
This was a covenant of great i'm
portance to the company, for surveys
as fast as the railroad was built
would have given the company clear
legal title, and to that extent would
greatly have sustained it's credit and
would have tended to speed its con-
struction. Also If this covenant had
been performed there never would
have been a shortage Of public lands
to supply the grant
