500 Year.Old Gate
Serves Oxford Again

London.---An ancient gate OF oak,
which was set up nearly 500 years
ago and swung for 500 years at the
entrance of Ballot college. Oxford,
before it changed its location, has
been found and returned to its old
place.
The gate was made and hung in
1888 and it was already a veneer
able antique when in 1861 Ridley
and Latimer were burned at the
stake only a few yards in front of
ii, after they had been convicted
as Protestant heretics. Toward
the end or the Eighteenth century,
when the front quadrangle of the
college was demolished and rebuilt,
the gate was taken down.
DR.. Harding Newman, a fellow
of AIagdalen college, oxford, ac-
quired it and hung 1t at the en-
trance Of his private garden at
Neimes, in Essex. Ivy grew over it
ana after Doctor Newman's death
the gate was forgotten. But IS
months ago ]. Rochelle Thomas of
the Georgian gallery, Sc, James,
London, discovered the ancient
gate and bought it.
More than 100 coats Of paint
we're scraped away and the old oak
planks and struts found in a per-
feet state of preservation.

Blame Air Currents
In response to the message, the
Steamer Pleidon reported at a. IN.
that she was altering her course
and would reach Latitude 33.l6.
Longitude 1880, the approximate,
position of the Dallas Spirit when
last heard from.
Captain Erwin, who flew his ship
here from Dallas, Texas, was ac-
companied by Alvin H. Eichwaldt
as navigator. Erwin had started out
toward Honolulu with the intention
OF searching the sea lanes for some
trace of Miss Mildred Doran and the
other Dole fliers missing since Tues
day.
Freak air currents over the Pa
chic were blamed for the tail spin.
Aviation experts here declared that
both Martin Jensen and Ernie
Smith, successful trans Pacific fiiers.
had encountered similar trouble, but
had come out of the spins.
Flying at about 900 feet and with
q load Of more than two tons Erwin
was at a great disadvantage in striv-
ing to control his ship after the spin
mad started, it was pointed out.

DOUBLE TRACK
is PROMISED
installation Planned Before
{. Washington Paving.

Installation of double street car
tracks on E. Washington St, be-
tween Audubon Rd. and Sheri Ian
Ave, will be attempted before the
city paves between the persent single
track, Robert 1, Todd, president of
indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany, announced today.
Agreement on distribution of costs
for the improvement between the
company and the city is all that
holds up work, he said. Tentative
plans contemplate abandonment of
the spur track on Audubon Rd.
The proposed change would cost
the company nearly $4,000, Tod1 es-
timated.
Resolution was adopted by the
board of works Friday authorizing
paving of the eighteenth strip
down the center of the street. First
hearing on the case will be held in
two weeks. Virgil Vandagrifft,
board president. said the resolution
could be changed if the company
agrees to change the tracks.
The board is attempting to get
the street railway company to pay
all expenses with exception of cost
of the top surface, Vandagrifft said.
Plans call for a six-inch concrete
base for the upper layer of pave
ment.
