ScInlidt's Stand

Schmidt said Gray conferred with
him last Tuesday and admitted that
Marion County specifications were
far superior to those of the highway
commission. He stated that Gray
said it would be foolish TO sub
stitute other specifications for those
now used i'm the county. Schmidt
said his specifications were similar
to those used in several States.
Schmidt said he believed gravel
men wrote the specifications for the
commission.
During the first few years of CON
crete pavement in Marion county,
little attention was paid, to the size
or grading of coarse aggregate,
Schmidt claimed. If the materials
furnished by local plants was clean
and free from particles of shale or
organic matter. it was accepted.
Specifications contained a sieve
analysis for gravel and L thought
it was usually specified that not
more than per cent of the material
should pass screen with quarter
inch meshes, no analysis of the
gravel was made. As a result early
roads detereorated quickly, he said.
Gravel Varies
-1Oarly all local gravel plants have
high proportion Of sand and small
pebbles which will pass through a
81 al
| asserted. Loads Of fine maetrial
with high percentage of sand, fol.
lowed nearly all coarse gravel has
been used. Schmidt said. Schmidt
said it was not possible to get con-
crete of uniform consistency when
proportions of cement sand and
gravel are varied At the mixer.
Should the gravel producer proper
ly grale his aggregate to put it on
an equal plane with the stone, he
would probably have TO charge a
higher price for his product.
Schmidt said. in the long run well
graded stone meeting the specifica-
tions is far cheaper than the UNI
graded gravel heretofore supplied,
he said.
Some weeks ago. the State tax
BOARD in denying bond isues for the
| DuvaI, Kasselbaum and Fitch
roads, announced in a vigorous
statement that they would approve
no more Marion County road issues
until the gravel specifications were
made fair. Since, that time the Du-
vail and Kasselbaum road projects,
the roads being the continuation Of
| College Ave. to the county line, have
come before the board again and
remonstrances against them have
been taken under ADJUSTMENTS. Due
to the fact that the specifications
are essentially the same as those in
the roads for which bond issues were
previously denied. the board, 1t is
believed, will sustain the remon-
strances.

BOY SCOUTS TO HELP
 PUBLIC SEE ECLIPSE
Will Distribute "Junior Spectro- scopes" if People Send fin Spoiled
 Photograph Films.

Walter o. Cook, local Boy Scout executive, has devised q plan whcre- by the scouts will be of assistance to those anxious to take full advantage Of the views afforded by the total eclipse of the sun on Saturday morn- ing, January 24.
 According to this plan the scouts will prepare next week about 4,000 junior spectroscopes" for public distribution. These will be made by punching a hole through piece Of cardboard about two inches square and pasting over the hole piece of spoiled photographic film. In the ef- fort to put this project across, the Boy Scouts are anxious to secure as much of this film as possible and consequently they arc appealing to the people of New Britain to either mail or bring in to their headquar- ters any of the material which they migh. have. It very often happens that in having roll of film develop, ed there are one or two pictures which, for some reason or other, have been spoiled and which turn out blank. Such material serves the purpose admirably and consequently the scouts would like to receive at their headquarters in the Hallinan building as much of it as possible and az soon as possible.

EXPLOSION LEAVES 27
 CHILDREN FATHERLESS
Kentucky Mine Disaster Snuffs Out Lives of Six Miners
 in Shaft.

Providence. Kentucky, Jan. 16.- Twenty children were made fatherless late yesterday when an explosion in the Diamond Coal com pany's mine number l, cost the lives of six miners who composed the powder gang. One miner escaped. All bodies have been re- covered.
 Gooch Gardner, and Herman Mur- phy, shot firers, were working to- gether when the blast occurred and their bodies were scOrched and bruised, supporting the theory of mine officers that a windy shot was responsible for the disaster. The four other victims, Goldie Merritt, Hugh Teague, James Holt and Jo- seph Troyer. suffocated from poison gases before they could escape, it is believed. Merritt leaves a widow and 10 children. The others were fathers of from two to six children.
 The only miner who escaped was FTnis Loston, who was driving a mule car near the entrance. Los ton was knocked down but he groped his way out and gave the alarm. Eighty-fve miners left the mine an hour before the explosion.

CROKER'S CHILDREN
 CONTINUING CONTEST
Now Contend That Palm Beach Es- tate Was Deeded To Wife
 Illegally.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 16. - Charges have been made in two suits filed in federal court here by the children of Richard Croker, late Tommany Hall chieftain, that the estate in Palm Beach, willed by Croker to his widow. Bula Croker, was deeded unlawfully.
 The children are attempting 10 gain possession of the estate under article 10 of the state constitution, declaring that the estate comprised the family's homestead at the time of Croker's death in Ireland in 1922.
 The Florida supreme court recent ly held that a married man with lv- ing children cannot directly or in. directly deed his homestead to his wife under the constitution and laws of Florida.
 This case marks a continuation Of part of the Croker children to ob- tain possession of the estate left by their father. The courts heretofore have upheld the will.
 Howard Croker, Richard Croker. Jr, and Ethel CrOker White are the complainants named in the suit. The defendants are BGla Croker, ]. E. Mcdonald and the Palm Beach es- tate, a corporation.

Movies Trying to Break
 Down Dry Law, Is Claim

Washington, Jan. 16,-Charges that the liquor interests are using the moving pictures to break down the prohibition amendment were made in an address today by Dr. D. Leigh Colyiu, of New York, before the national motion picture confer cnce.
 Motion picture films, he said, not only make the prohibition amend ment look ridiculous, but portray the consumption of liquor as alluring. He contended that 1t would be to the advantage of picture producers to support the law, because millions formerly spent for liquor now is diverted to places of amusement.
 Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, president of the Women's Christian Temper ance Union of Iowa, urged cleaner pictures.
