WAIT AIRPORT
PLANS HERE TO
SURVEY ROUTE
Placing of Beacon Lights
Delayed Until City
Chooses Field.

Lawrence G. Elliott of the De-
partment of Commerce Aeronaut-
ical Bureau, visited the Indian
apolis Chamber of Commerce this
week to inquire as to the probable
location of the proposed municipal
airport.
Elliott has charge of a group
surveying the Cincinnati-C Chicago
air mail route for aerial beacons.
The beacon lights are to be placed
at approximately ten-mile intervals
over the entire route.
Because of the local field not
having been selected definitely,
= Elliott said surveyors would work
on both ends of the route, not
routing the beacons in the vicinity
of Indianapolis until a site is de-
cided on here.
It is expected the airWay will be
lighted within the next month or
two in order to permit night flying
and continuation of the present air
mail schedule during winter months
The mail plane daily leaves In
dianapoliS for Chicago at 6:15 p. M,
daylight saving time.

Test Bombing Planes

. BIZ United Press
LONDON, Aug. 22.-Experiments
aimed at developing a new type of
bombing airplane so heavily armed
with machine funs that they can
dispense with the need of an escort
of single-seater fighters. are now
being conducted by the Royal Air
Force.
s, Some of these new bombers have
as many as seven machine guns
placed in the nose. tail and on the
upper and lower wings of the air
planes in such positions that the
bombers have no blind spot
meaning that irrespective of what
angle the attack of enemy fighters
comes from. the gunners in the
bonbers will be able to bring one
or more machine guns to bear on
the enemy.

and a lever for adjusting the air
on the carburetor.
The control of the plane is ac-
complished by four movable sur
faces called the rudder, elevator and
the ailerons. These are similar to
the wings in construction.
The elevator is fastened on the
rear of the fuselage in a horizontal
position.
The rudder also is fastened to the
rear end, but in a vertical position.
The ailerons are placed on the back
edge of the wing tips, hinged to the
wings.
Wheels must be placed forward
so that the plane will not have a
tendency to nose over while land
ing; and the landing gear must be
high enough so that the prop" will
not touch ground

SITES LIST TO
NARROW CHOICE
Committee to Survey More
Than Is Possibilities
for Field.

Task of classifying the more than
fifteen proposed municipal airport
sites. suggested with a view to re-
ducing the list to the few most suit
able, was to be started today by the
airport site committee holding its
first luncheon at the Chamber Of
Commerce.
The committee was to take up
plans for a QUESTIONABLE asking
exhaustive information on each site,
including such subjects as space
available for option, price. drainage,
levelness, high tension wires adj
Jacent, buildings to be removed,
distance from the city, direction,
condition of surrounding roads.
1t was decided to demand options,
or certified copies of such options,
on each site.
Committee members stressed inS-
portance of considering not only
the location and price per acre of
land for site, but also the cost per
acre to improve the land.
Finance Committee Meets
The committee was acquainted
with fifteen proposed sites, some
listed by Paul H. Moore, chamber
aviation secretary, others suggested
by interested individuals. In addi-
ton a number of other sites which
are not suitable for a municipal
airport have been suggested by own
ers, Moore said, some as small as
five acres.
An airport site one mile square,
in order to provide ample space for
future developments has been urged
by those in touch with aviation
progress.
The site committee is composed of
Fred G. Gardner, chairman; Fred
G. Dickson, Arthur r. Baxter, G. A.
Efroymson, Fred Hoke, Edward A..
Kahn and James w. Noel.
A. M. .Glossbrenner, chairman of
the finance commute, which met
Tuesday. attended the site commit
tee meeting. The finance committee
Tuesday adopted a resolution favor
ing an airport as municipal en-
terprise and pledging cooperation
with the site committee in deter
mining detailed plan of financing
as soon as an accurate estimate of
the cost can be procured.
Wait on Estimates
The committee felt it impossible
to take definite steps toward f1nanc-
ing plans until the site and cost
have been determined.
1t was explained that a bond is
sue of less than one-tenth of one
per cent Of the assessed valuation of

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. CaldwelPs Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to prac-
tice medicine. back in 1875, the needs
for laxative were not as great as
they are today. People lived normal.
quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food
and got plenty OF fresh air and sun
shine. But even that early there
were drastic physics and purges for
the relief of constipation which DR..
Caldwell did not believe were good
for human beings to put into their
system. SO he wrote a prescription
Tor a laxative to be used by. his
patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice, and
which he put in drug stores in 1892
under the name OF DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pcpsin. is liquid vegetable
remedy. intended for women. children
and elderly people, and they need
just such a mild. safe. gentle bowel
stln1ulant As Syrup Pcpsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth and
is now the largest selling liquid laxa-
tive in the world. The fact that mill
lions of bottles are used year
proves that it has won the confidence
OF people who needed it to get relief
from headaches. biliousness. fatu-
lence. indigestion. loss OF appetite
and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and ieyers.
Millions OF families are now never
without Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
and ii YOU will once start using il
you will also always have a bottle
handy for emergencies.
