 for his arrival approached.

 Despite fog and rain. several hun dred spectators gathered at the field early this afternoon. They were kept in line by . score of motorcycle po- licemen and by the full membership of the 35th division air corps. The low visibility caused Captain

 The roar of the motor was heard plainly as the plane came out of the south. Low-hanging clouds and Q misty, rain made identification im- possible.

IRvINGTON Gets
SCHOOL HOPE
Board Decides to Employ
Architect and Engineer.

Dreams of residents for a new
Irvington high school were a step
nearer realization today, with action
of the school board Tuesday night
in deciding to employ architects and
engineers for the buildings.
The 1929 building program was
discussed by the board, Commission
er Charles w. Kern stating that two
grade schools definitely are in the
program. These are School 81,
Brookside parkway and Eighteenth
street, and School 81, Emerson and
English avenues.
On motion of Kern, the board
decided to employ plans used in
building School IS for the two new
buildings, to save approximately
$4,000 architect fees.
The board is considering includ-
ing in the building program a new
School SO, Thirty fourth street and
Orchard avenue, and additions to
School Is, New York street and
Linwood avenue and School 40,
Kappes and Morris streets.
Resolution authorizing 100000
temporary loan was passed. Bids

One More World

0NE of the astronomers is quoted
" in the Times as saying: I
think we are justified in saying that
with the evidence so strong for con-
ditions similar to those found on
the earth, with vegetable life fairly
assured, animal life is almost
certain. I am now inclined to con-
slider it possible that even human
life, if transported to Mars, might
exist and perhaps flourish there"
I should not care to go under
these conditions. 1t is not the dill
culties of committing which frighten
me away, but much more the tear
that after the terrific trip might
emerge from the giant rocket, or
whatever the continuance, and IND

only to see another establishment

transparent heads. And sometimes
they were giants.
Whether for better or worse,
every dream of Mars has been
founded on the belief that any life
discovered there must inevitably
differ from all with which we are
familiar. Of late science has aban-
doned much of its Skeptical attitude
as to the possibility of Mars being
g going concern.
In the beginning doubt depended
on the impression that the place
was much too cold to support any
living thing. Only recently an in
genious gentleman, called DR.. Co.
blentz, has taken the temperature
of our neighbor, and finds that the
climate of the star has been much
maligned.
The doctor used an instrument
called a thermocouple and, though
/ read a complete description of its
mechanism, I am still haZy as to
the manner of its manipulation.
Next, I suppose, somebody will be
taking the pulse of the planet and
also the blood pressure Of the war
like star. Let it suffice that DR.. Co
blentz reports that temperatures of
so degrees or higher exists in Mars
during the daytime.

Perhaps a Bus Line

TINE three necessities which we
i know-heat, water and oxygen
are also necessities there, although
most of the scientists commit them
selves to no more than a belief In
vegetable life, and perhaps, the
lower forms; few are ready tc say
any more that there may not be
men in Mars.
But the charge that science has
dulled the edge of romance lies IN
the fact that if intelligent beings
move about UP there, it seems al
together probable that they are
much like us.
All the various attempts to ex-
change messages with Mars have
seemed to me little terrifying. Inc
reply could be entirely devastating
So humble are we human beings
that we readily assume that people
who are in some way strange musC
inevitably be better and wiser than
ourselves.
AS I understand it, the eagernesS
to get in touch with the star IS paseu
upon the hope that possibly Mars
could slip us useful intormatlon' IL
NAV be that they have a system by
which the sardine can actually may
be opened with the key fastened
upon its back. l..
But suppose Mars turns out 10
be neither better nor worse put
lust the same. That I would hold
to be discouraging. 1t is hard 10
think Of the milky way as merely
an extension of Main street.
Through the ether flash the radio
signals: MARS, this is the eartn
and we are trying to talk to you:
Some day, have no doubt wnen
receiving sets are just a little bet
ter. the answer will come back to
us. And in that great day, I trust
the reply may not prove to be, on

Physical Training Vital to
Pupils, TreSter Tells
Township Trustees.

It's just as important for Willie
and Susie to know how to keep we'll
as to know their multiplication ia
bles, and it's the duty of the public
school system to teach them.
Such was the doctrine laid down
for several hundred township trus-
tees attending the Indiana Town
ship Trustees Association annual
convention Tuesday by A. L. Tres
ter, secretary of the Indiana High
School Athletic Association.
Physical education and health
teaching is a vital function of the
public school system" Trester de-
clared, urging that these subjects be
elevated to a place comparable with
academic subjects in Indiana grade
and high schools.
Urges Health Education
Health and physical education
should be taught, to inculcate cor
rect standards of living, Trester
said. Such instruction has been de-
tered, he said, by lack of properly
trained teachers, Fairgrounds, GYM
nasiums and equipment and an I'M
willingness upon part of school Of
ficials to allot time for such train
ing.
Recommending a program to the
trustees, Trester crowned on rigid,
disciplinary physical education"
and advocated games, contests,
competitive drills, and folk dances,
lin which the spirit of play pre-
dominates"
I'm not a softly trying to
'sugar-coat' this thing" he said,
"but the theory has been exploded
that unless the youngsters disliked
something it did them no good!"
Spend Money, Trester Asks
Trester declared it to be good
school procedure" for school cor
porations to spend money for play
grounds and equipment; to give
greater recognition to teaching of
hygiene and physical education I'M
der trained instructors; to educate
boys and girls in standards of con-
duct, decency, honesty, obedience,
and other moral qualities through
carefully supervised games; and to
extend this recreational facilities,
equipment and supervision to pu-
pills leisure hours.
Such program, Trester said,
would be a deterrent to youthful
crime, which was declared by Mayor
L. Ert Slack in his address of well
come.
