INVENTION
 CLOSELY GUARDED
Graft Reported to Be Like Sea.
 plane Without Wings

New York, Aug. % GP-The se- crets of a new mysterious aircraft, without wings and operated on the rotor principle, today were being jealously guarded by three lnven- tors who have developed the craft on barge on Long Island sound.
 Walter r. Chrysler and Harold Elstncr Talbot, Jr.. are capitalists said to be backing the venture. Nothing could be learned concern ing the matter at their offices, how ever.
 The machine is based on the prin- ciple used in the celebrated Flettner rotor ship. It resembles a seaplane without wings. A single motor in the nose supplies the traction through q three bladed propeller. An air-cool- cd auxiliary motor provides power to rotate the cylinders which take the place of wings.
 Two rotors are on each side Of the craft. An outraged rudder is for ward. behind is q small pair of tan dem cockpits. Between the motor and the cockpits are two large booms used in place of the custom ary four longerons.
 Approach to the barge on which the experiment. is being made Is closely watched The three inventors and three assistants are the only persons permitted on board.

If hats, gloves, shoes and bags are black, said Franklin, the finger nails also will be black and the color of their gloss can be changed with each costume.
 Beauty as a big business, he said. is exactly as old as the bob-ten years. Its rapid rise in the post- V ar decade to a present level of Sl.- 900,600,000 expenditure per annum he attributed to the development of the permanent wave machine.
 Beauty seekers spend annually 5SO0,OO0,O0O for cosmetics and an added $110O.0o0.000 for having them put on. he said, explaining the causes thus:
 When women found it possible. through the permanent wave, to keep their hair curled; they had it cut. To keep it trimmed. they ac- Quired the regular habit of gotng to the beauty parlor- After that, me ticulous care of face and hands az we'll as hair was merely a matter Of merchandising.
 The eye-shadow, he said. was de- veloped ito give the eye a back ground for its beauty" and also Of course. to give the beauty artist employment for his or her talents.

DESIGNERS DEATH
 STARTERS DREAMS
Bourgeoir Hoped to See His Unique Chicago Temple Begun

Chicago, Aug. 20 P-Louis Jean Bourgeois, architect and sculptor, died last night with fulillment Of his fondest dream not far away.
 He had hoped to live long enough to see the framework started on the Bahai Temple he started 20 years ago. Completion Of the struc- ture, which has been declared the first new idea in architecture since the 18th century, was assured re- gently but actual work is not to start until September.
 Bourgeois himself a member of the sect, won an international con- test for a design for a temple to De located in Chicago and selected q site at Wilmette, northern suburb
 The corner stone was laid by Ab- dul Baba, son of the founder of the religion. By 1922 the foundation and basement had been completed and then work was suspended until sufficient funds were on hand tt continue on the S2,000,000 tempt the Bahais having the principlnf of no debts. no mortgages, no soli- citations.
 Recently enough voluntary contri- buttons were made to proceed a few steps, and an engineering firm of Washington, D. C., was engaged to go ahead with construction.
 Design Full of Symbolism In his design, Bourgeois has con- bined the essence of the architecture of the Egyptians, the Greek, the Roman, the Arabic, the Gothic, the Renaissance. and the Modern. In his decorative motif he has inter- woven symbolism of all the religions ever known to mankind. He has portrayed the tree of life and given note to the place of the earth in the universe.
 Thus the temple as a whole rep resents the principles of the Bahai movement-universal religion, uni, versal brotherhood. universal edu- cation, union of science and religion Figure "9" Prominent Because of the symbolism of per | lection attached by the Orientals tc the figure, nine, as the highesl single integral, the number or it, | multiples are employed cXtensively l throughout the temple. It has ninl sides, nine doors, which will be ap- | preached by IS steps; nine fourl. tains; nine ribs in the dome. Tho height of the building was sealed 1 at 162 feet, the first story at 3t and the minarets at 45. The pro- | perty includes nine acres. Tn structure will be surrounded by 6 | circular wall.

HARDWARE DEMAND GAINS
 SLIGHTLY REPORTS SHOW
Recent Rains With Approach of Fall Season Serve to Improve Cur
 rent Business Volume,

New York, Aug. 2O-Two favor- able factors are responsible for a slight improvement in the hardware demand and for a somewhat better sentiment in most of the leading market centres, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in it's weekly market summary. Recent rains and the ap- proach of the fall season have served to improve the current demand, as well as to create a more optimistic outlook Some fall lines are already being shipped and by the first of next month the movement should be in full swing. From present indi- cations the customary summer lull is nearing it's end.
 The improved sentiment is expect ed to result in more interest being shown by dealers in anticipating fu- ture requirements. Hardware ma terials allied to building and con- struction projects are very dull. In contrast, painting supplies are in excellent demand and in many sec- tlons a better paint business is re- ported than for any recent year. This is attributed to the fact that many home owners are economizing by painting their own homes. Activity in housewares is about normal for this season.
 Prices are remarkably steady con- sidering present conditions. Prac- tically no revisions of consequence have become effective recently and no major changes appear likely at this time.
 The credit situation is considered fairly satisfactory. Collections are reported as slow in some sections and good in others.

Mrs. Ada C. Yerges Says Children's Minds Should be Turned Away from Armed Conflict - Be- lieves Last Struggle was Mercenary English-G Ger man Strife.

Grace Robinson, a writer who ac- i companied the first contingent of l Gold Star Mothers to France and who wrote an article, Mothers Look l at War" interviewed Mrs. Ada C. l Yerges of Columbus, Ohio. while en route, Mrs. Yerges IS the motlI- CT of Lawrence Yerges, who left the employ of the American Hosiery Co., this city, to take up arms, and who died in the Argonnc.
 ! Born in Columbus Ohio, in 1894 ! he came to New Britain soon after ! being graduated from Ohio univer- l sity. He lived in the Maple street clubhouse and dormitory provided i for employees of the Stanley Works and q few others and was well known locally. He went 10 France with Troop B, which had several other New Britain men as members. After his death d poem was dedi- Cated to him by local writer and 1t has been widely distributed her.
 Through the courtesy of Liberty magazine, the periodical for which the article was written, the inter view with Mrs. Yerges is herewith printed:
 Mrs, Ada C. Yerges an artist ! from Columbus, Ohio, tall. white haired, patriCian. tries hard to ar que q way out of war. Her son Lawrence, in the Twenty seventh l Division, was killed in the Argonne fighting. He was out putting up a machine gun when shrapnel got him in the abdomen. There was q. quick chance for help. but he refused. saying, Go back. Help someone that's hurt worse than I am
 So he was left to lie in a shell hole.
 Later the surgeon said. Too bad. l would have had to see him with in forty-fve minutes 10 do any good. It's been several hours now. There <. nothing to do
 He died smiling.
 Mrs. Yerges showed me his pie ture. A debonair laughing boy, whom everybody knew as 'Smiler.'
 We should turn children $ minds from war says this mother. In schools nowadays the tendency IS 10 take away the war games anI the toys that suggest war. That is right We should foster in children love and friendship for children of other lands, and help the children Of other lands to love us. The dolls that American women sent to Japau expensive. beautiful dolls. fo, Japanese children-are d step 1T that direction, The little treasur. chests sent to the Philippines nor. recently as friendly gift for Fiji plno youngsters, will also help.
 oh. l am definitely for peace If 1t can be had. But what car you do? We want our sons to b, brave and honorable. My heart sank when Smiler went. But, mother. he said. I must go. I couldn't live if l didn't go I'd feel yellow
 But We don't want them sacri. need for mercenary purposes. And the last war turned out to be that 4 mercenary war, between England and Germany l hope-oh hop, I'll never live to see another war.
 For long time it seemed he'd surely come back. There were SC many mistakes in identity, you know, For a year afterward. ever, time l passed the Union Station in Columbus I'd look and look. And if l saw a tall man I'd look again, 10 be sure 1t wasn't my son. For he was tall-six feet one. But, Of course, it never was
