her a dangerous woman. Mark my
words, she'll do a lot of harm. What

said Hermione. "He hasn't his moth

harmless. He's devoted to Chari-
taS."

asked Helen.
"Oh, he's well-behaved, sheltered
and quiet, bit young even for his
years"
"You must admire his type" said
Helen.
What, Damastor?" cried Hermit

His mother says he's devoted to
you"
ITO me? scarcely know him! Oh,
I've seen him at his mothers, but
not often. He's shown no signs of
devotion, thank heaven! I've thought

you lately?"
"Never-who told you that?"

Impressive Dedication Ger
emony Monday Witnessed
by Thousands.

Pomp and pageantry, Pershing
and plaudits, which enshrined for
ever July 4, 1927, in the heart of
patriotic Hoosierdom we're replaced
today at the World War Memorial
Shrine by the rat-tat-tat of the
builders hammer.
The corner stone of the $4,000, 900
temple to Indiana's patriotism and
objective tribute to World War
heroes was placed by General John
j. Pershing, A. E. F. commander,
shortly before noon Monday.
Gaping the climax. of a July
Fourth. never surpassed in patriotic
demonstration, the corner stone
ceremony marked genuine progress
in the construction of a memorial
shrine that is to be unsurpassed
throughout the nation.
1t will be year before the super
structure is complete and perhaps
three before another great demon
stration will mark the dedication.
The beautiful white edifice then will
set as a jewel in the great plaza
extending for a half mile in the
heart of the Hoosier capitol.
Reservoir Of Patriotism
MAY this shrine stand as a great
reservoir of power to generate pa
triotism that will roll out in great
waves and finally envelop the en-
tire country"
This was the prayer of Brig. Gen
William G.. Everson, Muncie, after
PerShing had put the final touch
upon the corner stone with mortar
and trowel.
The ceremony was preceded by a
monster military parade, headed by
Pershing, his aides and Adjt. Gen.
William H. Kershner.
Massing Of ColOrs
There were speeches by the A. E.
F. commander and Governor Jack
son; there was the solemn task of
the World War leader placing a
black wreath on a gold star flag car
ried by Culver cadet, Ito honor the
dead who fought under his COM
mand; there was massing of the al
lied colors against the azure back
ground of the sky by cadets on the
crest of the structure, thirty feet
above the speakers platform, and
then the laying of the corner stone
and the closing prayer.
President Marcus S. Sonntag
presided and Pershing was intro
duced by Brig. Gen. DwightE. Ault-
man, who also took the opportunity
of saying farewell to indianapolis
citizens. Well known in the COM
munity, since he became command
ant at TT. Benjamin Harrison, he
leaves shortly for a new command
in Wyoming.
Parade Takes Two Hours
From the reviewing stand near
the memorial shrine. Gen. Pershing
and Governor Jackson for two
hours watched the procession. There
were bands and battle flags, soldiers
and sailors, veterans of three wars,
Culver's Black Horse cavalry and
the 150th Field Artillery under COM
mand of Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyn-

st mean, we're not alone in the
world" said Hermione. You can
talk me down, but I wonder you
don't realize how queer your sense
of proportion looks. You take me to
task because / spread a story about
you-false, I'll admit, but in the cir
cumStances remarkably generous
and favorable. Yet you have been
preaching ideas here, with your
quiet voice and those innocent eyes
of yours, ideas which would make
us all wicked if we followed them"
IF we all lived on my plan, you
said" replied Helen. II have no
plan, except to be as sincere as pos
sible. We certainly are not alone
in the world, and the first condition
of living well with the others, I
think, is to be entirely truthful with
them.
"How can anything be kind that is
partly a lie? And you don't see
what would become of people! Well,
what's becoming of them now? Ever

the legend you tried to circulate; of
course she hoped it wasn't true. She
hoped for the worst.
What she wanted when she
rushed over here was the first bloom
of the gossip, news of my most in
innate experiences, to discuss my
wickedness more specifically with
the neighbors. And mark this: We

Orestes, though I still hope you

ARMY AIRPORT
IMPROVEMENTS
BEING SOUGHT
Schoen Field Commander
Wants indianapolis Put
on Aviation Map.

Flying at Schoen Field, United
States Army airport at FIT. Benja-
min Harrison, will be stimulated
greatly by proposed improvements
and new equipment. according to

mandant.
Peck recently returned from

regular Army ships visiting Indian
apolis land at Schoen field.
About $4,000 is to be sought for
leveling, and efforts are being made
to secure spur track near the field
which would enable the Govern
ment to install a 10000 gallon gaso-
line tank and pump to fill ships.
In the near future it is planned to
build club house for the air re-
serve officers.
Await Five New Planes
Five new primary training all
steel ships with Wright 1870 h. D.
motors are expected to be assigned
here in September when the War
Department contemplated "wash1
ing" the air service of the JennW
ships.
At present there are five Jenny
planes, De Havelin and Curtis
pursuit at Schoen field. About forty
members of the 84th division Or
ganized reserves are using the field.
"Air mail soon should be estab-
lished in Indianapolis with COM
mercial aviation having such a
bright future" said Peck.
Airway Meeting Today
A meeting OF Central Anyways, Inc.
will be held today to consider steps
in the development of the proposed
passenger air lines here. Norman
A. Perry. airways president, plans a
survey of local needs. The air firm
tentatively conferred with Indian
apolis Airport Corporation relative
to the use of the Mars Hill field for
commercial ships.
Some leaders in aviation believe
the civilian ships should have a
separate field from that used by the
Indiana National Guard.
Indianapolis is not awake to the
possibilities of aviation. We must
get busy and establish a representa-
tive airport with commercial lines.
1t would greatly stimulate all bust
ness" said G. H. Rottger. Indiana
Bell Telephone Company president.
Banks Need Service
The use of planes in transferring
financial papers from one city to
another has been cited.
ut has been suggested to me that
two or three local banks could afford
to keep one ship busy between here
and Chicago" said Clifford L. Har-
rod. Chamber of Commerce man-l
ager.
1.-THE possibilities of commercial
aviation can hardly be realized un-
til a service is established. That is
something folks will not think Of
using until the service is offered
then they take it up readily" Har-
rod said
