DUNN CHARGES
WASTE EXISTS
In FLOOD WORK
Auditor Says County Will
Pay 100000 Only
With Mandate.

Charging useless waste Of money,
Harry Dunn, county auditor, today
reiterated that Marion County will
not pay the 100000 which the city
says is due as the county's share
for property on the east bank OF

less inundated by court.
William Bosom, city attorney
conferred with Dunn Tuesday in an
attempt to have the county pay q
$17,742.23 installment on the costs OF
the Kentucky and Oliver Ave
bridges.

the acquisition of real estate on the
east bank of the river for conBtruc
ton of a flood wall is i'll advised,
Dunn said. "It will serve no gooc
purpose and is a huge waste OK pub

Dunn also said that county Of
ficials contended that the building
of the two bridges was unnecessary
and that one large bridge should
hav been built at Kentucky Ave.
and the old bridge at Oliver Ave
repaired.

The Shenandoah
Disaster

m HE history of lighter-than-air craft is
| written in blood The Shenandoah
tragedy is only one of long list of similar oc-
currence in connection with this type of air
transportation.
One of the tragedies of our boosted scien-
tifc achievement is the fact that much of our
progress has been accompanied by tremen-
dous sacrifice of human life.
Heavierthan-air transportation has been
worked out much nearer perfection during the
last few years than has balloon transportation,
although the use of balloons far antedates the
use of airplsnes.
The Shenandoah disaster and the appar-
ent loss of the naval airplane which attempted
the flight to Hawaii bring home strongly the
fact that we still have long way to 60 in the
development of air service.
We must have a strong national defense.
Aircraft have been shown to be a necessary
unit in our defense But until there has been
further development making aircraft more de-
pendable, such disasters as have occurred this
week will continue.
The lighter than-air ship of the Shenan
doah type has been of doubtful value in the
minds of many. OF course, such ships can car
ry tremendous loads, but until they are made
easier to handle under all weather conditions
their practical value will remain doubtful
The men who lost their lives on the Shcn-
andoah and on the Roma and the ZR-2. which
also met disaster, have given their lives to
their country and deserve as much honors as
heroes as The men who died in battle None
knew better than they the possibility of just
such disaster as that which occurred Wednes-
day.
Whether the Shenandoah crash will have
any bearing on the future policy of the naval
department concerning this type of airship
remains to be SEEM

cents
Probably henceforth bank yeggs
will hold their noses when passing
through Henry County and will
practice their profession in more
salubrious localities.
Since the first cast-iron bank
strong box was rihed by enter
prising robbers with no other tools
than a can opener. there has been
a race between safe makers and
yeggs. The former are now
definitely ahead. Modern bank
vaults with impanetrable steel
doors, alarm systems. surrounded
by cloud of poison gas, are we'll
nigh impregnable-when locked.
Now the banks have more to
fear from daylight hold-ups than
from midnight assaults.
But the easy harvest of daylight
bandits will eventually come to an
end. 1t is foolish to suppose that
methods of protecting bank funds
day times as effectually as present
vault equipment protects them
nights will not be devised. The
bank bandit plays a losing game.
Every success makes his pro-
fession more hazardous and
precarious.

q TATE fair season has rolled around again
- Next week the Playground will be
crowded with Hoosiers and, as usual, the ex-
position will be digger and better than ever"
A State fair is sugar-coated pill of edu-
cation. Many object to taking their education
" Straight" but if they can learn something
amid the ballyhoo of sideshows and the shout
ing of toy balloon statesmen, they will pay as
much as so cents to learn something.
Indiana primarily is an agricultural State.
This is fact that we citizens of indianapolis
are inclined sometimes to forget But the
very backbone of Indiana prosperity, not only
on the farms but in the cities, is agriculture.
The State fair is concrete exposition of Indi-
ana progress in agriculture.
The fair deserves the support of everyone
for this reason. Some of us, who do not seri
ously object to learning something about our
own State, would prefer an exposition without
the usual strained effort at entertainment But
even If you go to the fair merely to be enter

A FATAL
SOAP BUBBLE

mi HE SHENANDOAH, giant
dirigible, which crashed
IL near Ava, Ohio. Thursday
morning en- route to Indianapolis,
adds another to the appalling list
of disasters to the fragile. I'M
wieldy lighter-than- air craft. A
puff of wind and the lives of the
ships captain and a third of the
crew were snuffed out.
Mans conquest Of the air is
still far from complete. The fore
ing down Of the PN-9-S and the
fate of the PN-9-1-the Navy
planes attempting TO fly TO Homo
lulu-show that type Of aircraft
is vulnerable.
Despite such occasional mishaps,
however. heavier-than-air machines
drone through the skies in thou
sands of flights in all kinds Of
weather in safety. In tempest and
blizzard the air mail crosses the
continent on schedule.
Compared with dirigible air
planes are as safe and reliable as
family Dobbins.
In the last few years this coun-
try has purchased four huge di-
rigibles-each the last word in air
ships. One broke her back in her
final test flight and plunged into
the English channel with great
loss of life. Another burst into
flames above Newport News. The
crew persisted. The third. the
Shenandoah, has just been torn to
shreds by a gale.
Only the Los Angeles remains.
And she covers Imply in her han
gar, unable to fly because the
Nays stock of helium gas was
lost with the Inflated Shenandoah.
Four ships. three annihilating
disasters. The record is no en-
enlargement to spend more time,
and money, and lives in develop
ment of dirigibles. The very quail
ity that permits them to fly is
their undoing They are lighter
than air, fragile and susceptible
to every gust that blows. They
are at best fatal soap bubbles.
Dominion of the air must be won
with sturdy wings.
