Farm life, as he sees it, is one thing; the farm

life. At the same time it is wasteful and I'M

AirpIane Service

n VERY day or so we read about someone
LII flying from Berlin or Paris to London.
That sort of thing is common in Europe Buy
your ticket, check your baggage, board huge
passenger airplane and in a short time Won
alight at your destination It's all in DAYS
work.
All of this simply indicates how far
ahead of the United States Europe has pro-
crossed in the matter of air transportation.
Additional air routes in the United States
for the carrying of mail, express and eventu-
ally, we hope, passengers, are being contem-
plated. Indianapolis is being considered as
possible stopping point for some of these
planes.
Persons interested in the development of
air routes wish to know whether INDIANAPOLIS
really can support this form of transportation.
The city will not be made an air port unless the
business can be shown to be profitable. That is
plain, ordinary common sense.
Of course Indianapolis wants air lines
The city has been a leader in TRANSPORTATION
for years and does not wish to fall behind Air
service would be step toward the Greater
indianapolis goal for which all of us are striv-
ing.
But the question is, to what extent are you
willing to support air serviceq The Chamber
of Commerce is seeking an answer to this
question 1t wants to know how many letters
can be expected to be carried in each direction
each day; also, how many express and freight
packages.
If you are interested in air routes. write
to the Bureau of Industry of the Chamber of
Commerce and tell exactly of what benefit air

The Memorial
Investigation

re- O1IE day something is going to be ac-
ID complished by public officials in Indiana
shat will not result in an investigation. Some
dav. we are assured, the world is going to end,
TOO
~ The latest investigation concerns the
World War Memorial project, that enormous,
expensive and spectacular undertaking that
was provided by the Legislature just after the
close of the World War and which some day,
+ perhaps the day in which Investigations cease,
will become a reality.
The State board of accounts employed for
'. the purpose of investigating, and which in
vestigates everything and anything with
vengeance, charges that Walker and Weeks
i,architeets employed at great cost to construct
the buildings, have specified certain brand OF
steel manufactured by firm in which they
are interested.
I'VE dom know the first thing about steel.
In fact we know just as much about it as does
The, worthy chief examiner of the State board
of accounts who specializes in investigating
steals. But, on the surface, the charges made
by1t the accounts board appear serious. We can
/, understand the advantage Of firm Of archi-
tects being in the building material business.
However, out of fairness to everybody,
let's don t rush in and insist that Walker and
Weeks, who are among the leading builders of
the country and who have prepared plans and
specifications on an enormous scale for the
memorial, be fred outright. The items in
volved appear to be comparatively small in
comparison with the $10000,000 the taxpayers
are paying for the memorial for the edifcation
of their remote descendants.
Of course, no one cOndones irregularities
of the kind described and if there is not some
good reason for using the particular brand of
! steel specified over, and above the fact that
~sValker and Weeks are in a position to supply
it, the specifications should be altered. The
board of trustees of the war memorial certainly
IRE good business men and they should be

The Indianapolis board of public
works has ordered thorough in
spection Of the new municipal
garage just completed at a cost Of
$4,000. Serious flaws in con-

Meanwhile the new, wings at

State tax commission and the In

over Kessle- boulevard and Marion
County roads, where public funds
are claimed TO have been
squandered. City councilmen
charge the board Of works have
permitted faulty pavement to be
laid and money wasted on other
public Improvement projects
None of the charges may be true
but the average citizen wonders.
Perhaps some day responsible pub
lie officials will exercise the same
efficiency and judgment and take
as much pains in oversight of
public building projects to see that
the public gets a dollars worth Of
building for a dollar spent as they
would in the erection of a private

The successful holdup occurred
in spite Of all the new protective
devices recently perfected by
bankers. And in a way that no
reasonable precautionary mea-
sures could have prevented.

They give version of the origin

According to them man evolved

who went about on all fours like

However, the tablets do not imply
any relationship between man and

descended from the sheep family.
