FERRIS WHEEL IDEA
INCORPORATED
IN PARKING PLAN

LAFAYETTE, Ind. Aug. 8-The
cry for more and yet more parking
space which is arising from our cities
may have an answer in an invention
of James E. Morton.
Morton has completed a model for
machine which in space of 80 by
$50 feet, 1854 autos can be parked
The advantages of this invention
are.
l. Great parking capacity on small
areas of ground.
2. Low cost of operation.
3. No permanent structure refuired.
4. speed in handling cars in and out
of parking station.
5. Protection against car damage
as the machine is not touched from the
time it is parked untill the owner
drives it out.
The invention uses great steel
towers, earring movable parking
space or carriages operated by motor
VI otIeE power.
The carriages move up, around and
down in endless fasion.
The auto is parked in one of the
carriages. 1t moves to the top of the
tower, where it crosses on a flat plane
and startes downward.
The plane of each carriage never
changes and there is no chance for a
car to slip off.
From a central room, one operator
can handle from five to ten parking
towers.
Each tower will have an Indicator
in the central control room, which
will be operatively connected with it.
This Indicator will show at all times
the location of all cars and empty
parking spaces.
The towers can be built to house
from 10 to so cars in each unit

IN BROADDUS
CAMPAIGN

Over Ten Thousand Dollars has been
pledged during the first three days of
the intensive campaign for the $4,000
Broaddus Barbour-County fund. Con-
sidering the fact that the campaign
was just started last Friday night the
results are encouraging if not to say
rather gratifying. A goodly number
of contributions and the solicitors
have met with favorable response on
almost every hand
Several of the team captains have,
for various good and sufficient reas-
ons, not gotten their teams working,
but by the next reporting day, which
is Thursday noon, it will be great
disappointment if the greater part of
the sum is not reported. Chairman Lee
J. cambridge, of the General Com
mittee seemed well pleased with the
general situation and since the cam
paign now has its impetus, he believes
that nothing will stop it until the full
amount has been subscribed.

amounts: Team No. l. ]. B. Ware

high-lights of program for broad

Order.
Secretary Brandon said the plans
are being made to enable every

procure acres of land at the edges of
their respective cities, upon which
are to be erected bungalows, so that
Emergency service can be givn to all
stricken families, whether or not they
are in any way affiliated with the
Moose order.
''The most interesting thing in tn
world" Mr.. Brandon said, sis baby
The Loyal Order of Moose has
corner on babies. We have more
than any other agency. Over 100,-
babies under our wing at Mooseheart
are taken from their mothers and
given out to institutions and then
adopted out, under numbers, until
they get a new name, and they never
know their parents or brothers or
sisters. Not one mother or father,
if on death bed would ever be
willing to agree to such care for
their own children, yet they permit
it for others.
"The Loyal Order of Moose, in its
short life of 10 years can pat itself
on the back for it's achievements,
the greatest in history 1t has col
lected millions of dollars and has ex-
