new CHURCHES
SHOW INCREASE
Building Rate of 1000 An
nuaIIy Reported.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
BEDFORD, Ind, Dec. 14.-New
churches to replace old religious
structures are being built in the
United States at the rate of 1900
a year, according to report by the
Indiana Limestone Company.
This does not include parsonages,
converts schools and other build
ings connected with churches.
More limestone has been shipped
from Bedford for construction of
churches than at any time in the
history of the company" according
to A. E. Dickinson, president of the
company. THE old frame church is
thing of the past and new re-
ligious structures are being built
with the strength and Solidity of
fortresseS," he said.
That the trend toward better
churches is as marked as in the
cases of Office buildings and homes"
Dickinson says, "is shown by the
present rate Of church construction.
1t is safe to say that communities
have outgrown at least 20 per cent
of the old churches now being used.
To replace these in the next twenty
years, it would require $4,000
churches, or about 1000 new
churches a year"

WATCH MISSING
10 YEARS FOUND
JeweIer Says TimepieCe viii

NOBLESVILLE, Dec. 14.-Lowell
Aillock lost his flfteen-jewel watch
thirteen years ago while working in
a field on his farm northwest Of
this city again has the timepiece.
IVA Pickerell found it while hunt
ing on the place.
During the years that the time
piece had laid in the soil, it had
been plowed under, diSked, narrowed
and dragged. The field had been
used for pasture, and at one time it
was under five inches Of water
Despite this, the watch was in fair
condition when found. The large
hand had rusted off and the balance
staff and the hair spring were also
broken. Polishing restored the case,
which had been badly furnished, to
the same brilliancy as it had before
it was lost. Because the crystal and
face were protected by the gold case,
the crystal had only small chip in
it and the face was not marred or
yellowed. When shown to 1eweler,
he said the watch could be made
to keep time with some repairs.
Hillock bought the watch in Mis-
souri, and had carried it only short
time before it was lost.

WIDOW QUIzzED

Marion Woman Still Held
After so Hours OF
Questioning.

BIZ Tnif,d Press
MARION, Ind, Dec. 14.-Oficers
admit that they had made little
progress in solution of the auto
bombing in which Andrew Legos,
union labor leader, was injured
fatally Oct. %, after more than fifty
hours Of questioning Of his widow,
Mrs. Erma Legoz Sc.
George Coogan, deputy state IRE
marshal, who gained fame by solv-
wing the State theater bombing
mystery in Hammond, revealed that
Mrs. Legos was arrested early Tues
day, and has been questioned vigor-
ously. She is still held. Her half
brother, Fred Stairs, 80, also was in
custody a few days.
No charges have been filed
against either Mrs. Legos or her
half brother, but authorities indi-
Gated that charges would be filed
against her if habeaS corpus pro-
ceedings for her release are filed.
LegOS was blown from his auto
when he stepped on the starter and
died two weeks later. It was
thought at the time that there
might have been some connection
between that bombing and tie
bombing OF the Marion Lab
temple, month before. in whit n
two persons were killed.

few CHRISTMAS
TREES IN STATE
CROW AT HOME
About One in Each Seven
Used Cut in lndi-
ana.

Approximately one-seventh Of the
Christmas trees that will decorate
Indiana homes this month will be
cut from wooded areas in the state,
according to Ralph F. Wilcox, state
forester. These trees are Virginia
pines that grow along the Ohio
river. These are distributed to towns
in the southern part of the state.
More than $4,000 trees are pur-
chased by Hoosiers each year during
the holiday season, at total cost
of approximately $262,50O. Most of
them are shipped from New Eng
land and Pacific northwest forests,
Wilcox said.
The number of Indiana-grown
Christmas trees has increased grad
ually and in few years, it is be-
heved enough will be grown in the
state to supply Indiana's Yuletide
needs. This year, state nurseries
supplied more than 100000 ever
green's for planting. The annual
inventory of nurseries showed the
state has at least 100000 Christ
mas trees ready for distribution and
planting.
1t is easily possible that enough
Christmas trees could be grown in
the state to supply the entire mid
die west, Wilcox believes.
ut is estimated that there are
100000 acres of farmed-out,
eroded, hilly, or otherwise idle land
in the state which is especially
adapted to forestry" he said.
Much of this land is in southern
Indiana. There are, however, thou
sands of acres of sand land in the
Kankakee valley in the northern
part of the state especial adapted
to the growing of Christmas trees.
IF these wastelands were properly
foreSted, the income of the state
would be increased by hundreds of
thousands of dollars, not only in
the growing of Christmas trees, but
in trees for lumber" Wilcox said.
