CHICAGO FIRM
Property Owners Rejoice at
Award of Pleasant Run
Job.
ENDS 15-YEAR FIGHT
Work to Begin as Soon as
Material Arrives; Hire
Local LaborerS.

More than 10000 interested
property owners breathed easier to-
day, because the contract had been
let to the low bidder on the pro-
posed Pleasant Run main inter
ceptor sewer.
Awarding of the $637,725 contract
to the Krenn Dato Construction
Company, Chicago, by the board Of
works Wednesday. climaxed the
fight of more than fifteen years for
relief from contaminated waters in
Pleasant Run. The Chicago firm,
backed by Edith Rockefeller Nc
Cormick, underbid a local firm
$4,000.
Mayor Duvall and the board of
works delayed the award two weeks
until the reliability of the COM
pany could be investigated" accord
ing to Virgil Vandagrifft. board
president.
Engineer Favored 1t
City Engineer Frank @. Lingen-
felter recommended the Krenn firm.
The interceptor sewer will con-
tain 34,469 lineal feet, extending
from Arlington Ave, to Garfield
Park, where 1t will join the Bean
Greek Pleasant Run sewer.
Corporation Counsel Schuyler
Haas and Frederick E. Matson, con-
tractors attorney, we're authorized
to draw up contract.
A. S. Holway, Krenn Dato en-
gineer, said work will begin as soon
as materials can be procured. 1t
will take about three weeks to get
sewer materials and equipment on
the ground.
Jobs for 300 Men
The contract will result In the
indirect employment OF about 800
persons, it was said. Holway said
the company would employ as
much local labor as possible, bring
ing ia only skilled labor. Only
about thirty workmen will be en-
ployed directly by the contractor,
the remainder receiving work
through sub-contracts.
The Independent Concrete Pipe
Company, Seventeenth st. and
Sherman Dr., will furnish the pipe.
H. r. Duckwall, chairman Of direc-
tors, said work would be rushed on
the local contract. Nearly 100 Ia
borers will be employed by the con-
crete firm. Other materials will be
bought here.
Holway said he hoped tc complete
the job III less than the fourteen
months specified by contract.
Residents of Irvington, east and
southeast Indianapolis, along the
valley of Pleasant Run. will be
benefited by the project. The new
main sewer will be intercepted by
seventeen existing sewers and many
others to be built, Sewer Engineer
Charles Culley said.
1t will replace the present main
Irvington sewer at Washington st.
and Pleasant Run.
Nearly All In City
All the sewer will be in the city
except a small strip east of Airing
ton, which is city property. COST
of the project will be born by assess
ment of benefited property owners
and bond issue to cover assessments
levied, but not collected, from prop
erty owners not served by city sew
ers at present.
Under the sewer law, the city has
authority to extend the sewer be-
yond city corporate limits.
Krenn and Dato, engineers, will
confer with city sewer engineers on
working plans.

PRIVATE AIR
CRAFT To TAX
LOCAL field
Many Indianapolis Citizens
Are Planning to Buy
Planes Soon.
INSTRUCTOR COMING
Better Landing and Hangar
Facilities Needed as Fly
ina Becomes Common.

The hum of private airplanes may
be heard frequently in and near
Indianapolis this summer.
Many private citizens have ex-
pressed their desire to fly ship
according to Capt. J. N. Kelly, who
with Rollin Stewart has taken the
Indiana agency for the Waco plane
manufactured at Troy, Ohio.
Capt. Kelly, member of the U.
S. Army air reserve, is pilot of the
Marmon Motor Car Company plane.
Kelly expects a demonstration to ar
rive at Mars Hill field next week and
plansto give instruction to Indiana
polls people.
Several prominent person have
indicated to me that they would like
to take up flying, and contemplate
purchase of a ship" said Kelly.
II believe it likely that there will
be several private ships owned here
yet this summer" he said.
Licenses Required
Robert Cast, Louisville, United
States Department of Commerce in
spector and former Army pilot prob
ably will have charge of administer
ing the new commerce department
rule in Indiana, Kelly said.
After July pilots will be required
to obtain license showing their IA
miliarity with their ship and flying
in general. Planes used for COM
mercial purposes will bear a Ger
tiflcate of air worthiness."
Captain Kelly pointed out the
urgent need for hangar at the
Indianapolis Airport at Mars Hill to
handle civilian planes. Such a
hangar should be erected and main
tanned by the city, or some local or
ganization, he said.
Indiana National Guardsmen &C
commodate civilian planes at pres
ent. Frequently ships have had to
set out in the open at the field.
Need Better Field
Indianapolis must have better
field before commercial aviation is
developed to the state some of us
would like to see it," said Kelly.
Visiting fliers do not get a good
impression of the city from the air
port and the Accommodations sup
piled there. The high tension wires
and the ditch on west side of the
field are a serious hazard. The field
is 700 small.
Lighting facilities for night fly
ing and markers will be necessary"
Tentative arrangements have been
made to lower the Central Indiana
Power Company lines and to fill in
the ditch.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The
Government today closed it most
PROSPEROUS year in history with a
surplus of about $650,000,000 in the
treasury and tax reduction plans
were afoot.
Anticipating no extra flood relle1
session of Congress next fall, Repre-
sentative Green, House ways and
Ameans chairman, announced ne
would convene his committee Oct
III to consider tax cuts.
at is likely" he said, chat some
reduction can be made, and by the
time the committee meets the
amount probably can be estimated
with a reasonable degree OF &C
curacy.
No Extra Session Seen
81 am not expecting an extra ses-
sion of Congress, but if there is one
1t is not likely to make much
change in, the plans for committee
work"
The amount of tax cut likely next
year already has been tentatively
estimated at $200,000,000 by Green
and Treasury officials.
But, declaring the Treasury's estl-
mates under Secretary Mellon have
always been $100,000,000 or more
below the fiscal years actual total
revenues, certain Democrats are re-
! ported planning a $400,000,000 re-
duction proposal.
These Democrats hope to substi-
tute a tax schedule of their own
and gain credit for a sweeping re-
duction. Representative Garner,
Texas, and Senator Simmons, North
Carolina, will take the lead for the
minority, the latter already having
set forth a demand for half billion
dollar reduction.
Debt Cut Billion
During the fiscal year closing to-
day the national debt was reduced
more than $1,000,000,000 a Treasury
%epnrt- showed.
.MDespite tax reductions, internal
evenuu collections increased during
he year. Income tax receipts
yamounted to about $2,220,000,000
n and miscellaneous taxes brought
,around $64G 100000 into the Federal
Golfers.
The customs bureau had it's most
profitable year, with more than
$500, 100000 collected in duties and
fines.
Ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment increased during the year be-
cause increased population of the
country necessitated expansion of
Federal activities, but Coolidge econ
omies held down expenses.
Debt payments by foreign nations
and the sale of Governmental held
securities boosted the surplus and a
large proportion Of this fund will
be homecoming, it was explained.
Payments from foreign nations on
war obligations will increase yearly,
however, and this will pave the way
for "a surplus next year, Admins
) tratipn leaders said.
Preliminary statistics from the
Postof1ce Department indicated its
annual deficit would be about
5000, 900 this year, compared with
$39,00O,o0o last year.

PART ONE
HeIen's Return
CHAPTER I

The point of the story is that
Paris gave the prize to Aphrodite
not because she bribed him, but be-
cause she was beautiful. After all
it was contest in beauty, though
Athena and Hera started discus
sion about wisdom and power. It
was they who tried to bride him
They had their merits and they had
arguments, but Aphrodite was the
thing itself.
Her improbable remark, then, that
he would some day marry Helen, In
terested Paris as divine expert
ment in prophecy. 1t might happen
or it might not. Meanwhile he did
wonder what Helen looked like. He
needed travel. He might as well
visit Sparta as any other place.
When he came to the house of
Menelaos, the gatekeeper let him
in, and since he was stranger they
wouldn't ask his name nor his err
rand till he had food and rest.
Menelaos put off a journey he had
thought of, and practiced the sac
rament of hospitality. But when
he found out who it was, he told
Paris to make himself free in the
house, and after polite excuses went
down to Crete, as he had planned.
So they all intended well. But
Paris saw Helen, face to face.
CHAPTER II
When the war ended in Troy, with
the fall of the city, Menelaos went
looking for Helen, with a sword in
his hand. She was waiting, as
though they had appointed the hour
With a simple gesture she barred her
heart for his vengeance, and looked
at him. He looked at her. The
sword embarrassed him.
Helen" he said, "it's time we
went home"
They tell the story another way,
too. Menelaos was not alone, they
say when he came on Helen. Aga
memnon was there, and others, IT,
witness the final justice Of the long
war. When Menelaos saw Helen
standing there, he was conscious OF
his escort. Anger and strength
oozed out of him, but those sylupa-
thetic friends were at hand, to see
husband do his duty. He raised
the sword slowly - not slowly
enough. Then he heard Agamem-
mons voice.
"Your wrath might as well stop
here, Menelaos; you've got your
wife back-why kill her? Priam's
city is taken, Paris is dead, you
have your revenge. To kill Helen
would confuse those who ask what
caused the war. Sparta had nc
share in the guilt; it was Paris en-
tirely, who came as guest and vio-
lated your hospitality"
Menelaos understood why his
brother was called the king of men
But later in the evening he was
heard to say he would have killed
Helen if Agamemnon hadn't inter-
fered.
He had to take her to the ships
for the night, and sent her on ahead
to take unprotected whatever insults
the curious army might care to hurl
at her. But the men gazed in silence
or almost so. They didn't notice
him. He heard one say she looked

Wrong Way Pacific Filler Is Daredevil
Stunt Ai1n1an and Double i'm Movies
Richard Grace Knows He's
Lucky, Else He Would
Be Dead.
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

LOS ANGELES, June 30.-Flying
alone across the Pacific from Homo
lulu to San Francisco is a danger
Gus, nerve-trying stunt. But to
Richard Grace it was only the latest
in a long succession of hazardous
enterprises. He has risked his neck
so often-in fact, he broke it once
that a mere 2,0oO-mile flight over
the ocean couldn't daunt him.
Grace is 20. Ever since he was
Is he has earned his living by risk
ing his life. He has been a stunt
f1ier" of the most reckless variety.
In 1915, while making a forced
landing, Grace learned that he could
put gliding plane on the ground
just about where he chose. Since
then he has crashed twenty-five
planes, fourteen of them deliber-
rately.
Nothing Too Risky
Most of this has been done for
the movies. The Hollywood studios
have known Grace as the one avn
ator for whom too risky job could
not be found.
The climax of his long success
sion Of escapades came last fall.
Grace had part in the war movie,
wings" He crashed plane from
height of 1000 feet-and broke
his neck.
A more thorough examination dis
closed that he had merely dislocated
two vertebrate. He recovered and
did some more stunts.
Tom Mix's Double
For a time he doubled for Tom
Mix, performing the dangerous
maneuvers that are not permitted
to a high-priced star.
Four different times, performing
for the movies, he wrecked auto
mobiles.
Grace realized full we'll that he
had taken his life in his hands in
situations where it seemed like an
incredibly foolish venture.
Sure of Self
"If any one can make the jump
from the Hawaiians to America, I
can," he said just before he sailed
for Honolulu. 81 seem to have
some sort of good luck charm
or else I would have been killed
long ago. If the ship comes down
well, I am a pretty good swimmer"
Other aviators on the west coast
have long known Grace as highly
skilled aviator.
