LOS ANGELES, Sept. John
Wood took of FROM the Metropoli-

effort to better the time of previous
starters in the nonstop flight from
Los Angeles to Cleveland. Wood
was accompanied by Ward Miller,

Wood must reach Cleveland in
less than Is hours, Is minutes, the
best mark to date, in order to win
the event, The present leading
time was set by Henry Brown when
he landed in Cleveland Sunday.
Brown bettered the time of Lee
Shoenhair and Wood is the last of
the entrants to start. The attempt
is Woods second. He started Sat-
urday morning, but was forced
down in New Mexico and returned
for another start.
Wood Is president OF the North

Dirt Expensive
Indianapolis Uses 1887
Pounds of Soap
Per Capita,

When statisticians tire of figuring
how long it would take a flea to hop
around the world as did the Graf
Zeppelin, then they start in on
on How many bars of soap are
used by the great American family
yearly?"
So here's the figures as they've
dished it out for indianapolis.
The city uses 1887 pounds of soap
per capita yearly.
1t consumes 9,550,o00 pounds
yearly at an approximate cost of
STE, 595.
The adding machine wizards fig
lure 1t costs S193 each twelve months
to wash Johnny's or Mary's ears.
Proof that Indianapolis is more
economical with soap than the aver
age city in the nation is shown in a
per capita average of twenty-five
pounds for the country against the
cty's 1887 pounds.
The nations soap bill yearly is
$500, 900 900, with commercial users
accounting for $3O00o,0o0 of the
the total.
1t is estimated that q family can
take its proper quota of baths and
not be a "Satlrday-nighter" on a
bar of toilet soap each week. A cake
and one-half of laundry soap or a
package of soap chips added to the
average fanlily's bill for cleanliness
will suffice for seven days.
indianapolis citizens wash their
faces four times oftener than those
living In the old world. For the
average per capita consumption 9
year in Europe is four pounds Of
soap to an individual.

LIGHT PETITION
LAW CREATES
CITY PROBLEM
Engineers Office Can Not
Handle Work Without
Additional Staff.

Indianapolis city officials are con-
fronted with a perplexing problem
by the 1929 electric lighting law
which has aroused protests at Ham

wide.
The statute permits go per cent
Of the property owners in any city

works petition for extra illumi-
nation" The legal procedure set out
includes legal advertising, public
hearings, remonstrance and assess
ments, requiring the setting up OF
a new department in the Office Of
City Engineer A. H. Moore.
Recommendation Ignored
Moore pointed out the require
ment in a letter to city council, ask
ing $1,000 to employ a craftsman,
and to operate the department.
Council ignored the recommended
ton and cut the engineers budget.
Clarence @. Baker, civic leader,
fled the first petitions under the
new law, requesting ornamental
lighting on thirteen west side streets
The petitions were filed in July and
no action has been taken.
Moore said it would be impossible
10 do any work under the new law
with the present engineering stan
before this winter, when work is
slack. The board may decide to
make no installations under the new
law, since the plan would be unfair
TO persons already living on streets
with ornamental lighting which was
paid for by the city.
Installations improbable
Gustave G. Schmidt, former city
councilman and plan commission
president under the Duvall admin
istration, urged passage Of the law
by the legislature to permit Butler
Fairview residents to obtain more
lights. The board Of works likely
will make no new installations in
