BOMBING PLANES
 AND BATTLESHIPS
New Developments Re- moves Some of Danger
 of Aircraft Force
PLAN FOR NEXT WAR

From time to time there are echoes in the daily papers of the successful bonn ping of anchored battleships by bombing planes off the Virginia cepes some years ago. This proved nothing new then or, in the light of later developments, new as to their vul- nerability when undefended by anto- aircraft guns or aircraft
 Those battleships suitably defend ed would have been more vulner- able to attack by heavy shells from other battleships the fire of which being controlled by aircraft spotters.
 The development of the anti-air- craft defense has driven heavy bombers to such heights that they are no longer looked upon as a sehi- ous menace to battleships suitably armed, and this not to mention the greatly increased menace to bomb- CTS from fighting planec (pursuit. The light bomber constitutes a more serious menace, but even he will ma himself confronted with nest of ma chine guns in such numbers that he will nuot survive to take part in a second attack. He becomes, in effect, a projectile which, once lainched, IS expended.
 Some nations, put not all, duoPIOu the idea of an independent air force, and there is much evidence to the effect that this is not satisfactory in the countries that have adopted 1t. There is reason to believe too, that the problem confronting some of these nations differs materially from that confronting the United States. Their capitals are within few hours hop from potential enemy bases a fact that gives them great concern for their actual physical safety, and so puts this phase Of their defense very much in the fore ground while causing some to lose sight of the needs of the military and naval operations further af1eld where necessity for intimate co-or- dination of effort among the various types of cambat units makes inn perative the inclusion of army and navy air units under the immediate command of military and naval com manders.
 In this day, no general and no admiral would regard his army or fleet as being at all ready to en- counter an enemy unless his army or his fleet comprised aircraft units of all types in adequate numbehs' trained with the other units Of hls force, and at all times under his military command.

CENSOR PRESS
TO HALT RIOTS
AGAINST POPE
MuSSoIini Is Understood to
Have Ordered End OF
Students ParadeS.

BIZ United Press
ROME, May ga ban was in
effect today against publication in
the press reports Of recurrent anti
Catholic demonstrations and de-
nunciations Of the pope by Fascist
youths.
The censorship also instructed
the press to refrain from referring
10 attacks made by the Lavoro Fas-
Cista, Fascist organ.
No refernce can be made to the
incidents recurrent during the last
week, including the burning of a
photograph of Pope Plus XXI.
Cessation of demonstrations
against the Catholics was believed
due to superior orders" declaring
that the anti-church manifestations
of Fascist students must stop.
Differences between the Holy
See and the Fascists meanwhile are
being discussed through diplomatic
channels.
1t was reported that Premier Be
nito Mussolini personally was TAX
ing an interest in seeking to effect
a settlement of the growing dis
pute.
The superior orders" against
further violence came after several
days Of recurrent incidents in
which Fascist youths attacked Cath
Ole students and institutions.

Modern Plant Replacing
Family WaShtub; Ends
Blue Mondays

American women will wear Just
eighteen ounces Of clothing this
summer, stylists say. and yet the
Pilgrim Laundry, Eleventh street
and Cornell avenue, washes more
than 100000 pieces Of clothing each
month for Indianapolis women.
And the way they wash clothes
must have proven to Indianapolis
home makers that they can have
their laundry done quicker, better
and cheaper in this modern way.
for the Pilgrim has grown from a
little plant with one truck and four
employees, to one of the most mod
ern laundries in Indiana, employ
ing 100 persons, and with a fleet
Of twenty trucks, in the short space
Of six years.
The convenience of sending laun-
dry out probably is the smallest
reason why so many persons are
turning each week to the Pilgrim
laundry.
Women who try the Pilgrim once
are convinced that the service and
the work not only is better than
they ever have experienced before,
but much better than they ever ex-
pected.
Only pure soap and soft water is
used in laundering, and clothes are
put through as many as twelve
changes Of clean water in the rims
ing process. Silks and woolens, the
fine things a woman is so particu-
lar about, all are washed by hand.
Bath towels are fluffed dry ready

METAL PLATING
is ECONOMICAL
Chrome Surface Lengthens
Life of Tools.

Among the many interesting pro-
cesses In use by the Adams Plating
Company at their West Tenth
street plating works, is the hard
plating of tools.
1t is stated that this process en-
ables the use of a lower grade Of
metal in high speed tools, and that,
contrary to the usual custom, en-
ables the use of these tools over
and over.
The tool, which may be made Of
ordinary steel, is plated with chro-
MUM, thus giving it an exceedingly
hard surface. The cheaper steel in
the tool itself will withstand the
wear better than high speed tool,
and when the plating is gone, it
can be put into the bath and used
again.
In fact, chromium appears to be
making a number of changes in the
plating industry. This substance is
of longer wear than any other plat
ing, it's surface remaining unfair
nished where other metals are
ruined, and 1t requires very little
effort to keep up the high polish
over surface so hard as to be
almost like glass.
Chromium plating is taking the
place of nickel and various other
alloys in general plating work for
the automobile, for use in stove
building, and in the making of fine
fixtures for any purpose where
bright, silvery finish is desired.
Its extreme hardness makes it
difficult to mar, and its non-corro-
Sive properties keep it bright much
lnoger than is the case with the
other metals commonly used.
This company, in addition to the
large factory business it does all the
time, invites the people of the COM
munity to avail themselves of its
facilities for their work in nickel,
brass, copper and chromium plat
ing.

SHEET METAL
USES GROWING
Adds Much to Comfort of
Modern Life.

Much of the comfort and con-
venience of modern life has come
to depend on sheet metal. Queer
how our great grandfathers had to
get along without these things, how
little our fathers used them, and
then again how the present gene
ration has come to depend on things
that were of little use to previous
generations.
But the humble sheet Of galva-
nized metal has assumed so many
uses in our homes and places of
business that good sized concerns
have grown up to do the work in
this metal.
Our roofs, our heating apparatus,
our sanitary comforts and many
other complexities Of modern life
often depend on how well this work
is done. The leaking roof, the in
adequate heating pipe and a dozen
other discomforts await the man
who has botched job in this
metal.
These are ample reasons for en-
trusting such work to a house that
has reputation to sustain. When
this house happens also to have
remarkable record of continuity in
business, furnishing it with the ex-
perience to know how to do work
as it should be done as we'll as evil
dence Of popular approval, and
which prides itself on the quality
of the work it does, you are safe
in calling them up and telling them
what you need.
Such a concern is the Joseph
Gardner Company, located at 147-
153 Kentucky avenue, with a rec
ord of forty-eight years of service
to the people of this city in all
kinds Of sheet metal work.

FINE RECORD HELD
BY BUILDING FIRM
Local Concern Backed by
Years of Experience
in Construction.

To list the buildings that have
been erected by the Ostrom Realty
and Construction Company, build
ers, at 1874 East Market street, just Is
about to call the roll of business
structures and social buildings.
This company has built hotels
laundries, business blocks, club
houses, machine shops, bakeries
apartment houses. public garages
mortuaries, dormitories, theaters
fraternity and sorority houses, ar
mories, postoffices and residences,
together with a considerable amount
of alterations and repair work.
In the nineteen years it has been
in business as a contracting con-
Germ it has accumulated a vast
amount of experience. This expe-
rience in a way is valuable stock
in trade, for with it this company
is to able to plan, finance and COM
plete any kind Of building.
1t operates throughout the mid
die west, will go anywhere and gives
to each and every undertaking the
benefit of a trained personnel gifted
with a sympathetic insight into the
ambitions and purposes of other
folks and willing to go a long way
in helping them to realize these.
H. w. Ostrom, president, laid
down such a platform some time ago
when he said:
ANY building construction job,
to be efficiently and economically
prosecuted, must have personal at
tention and skilled supervision. No
two jobs present the same prob
lem, and the conscientious building
operator in reality is the partner
of the man for whom he builds.
Sound advice in every phase of
building promotion is as necessary
and indispensable as sound mortar. :"

ice BOX SALES
INCREASE NOTED
BY LOCAL FIRM
Public Recognizes Value of
Good Construction in
RefrigeratorS.

Heavy increase in sales of Polar
quality ice refrigerators is reported
by Henry L. Dithmer, president of
Polar Ice and Fuel Company, 1000
Northwestern avenue.
The increase is attributable, Dith-
mer said, to the fact that modern
homemakers are learning the rea-
sons for good refrigeration.
Many housewives have learned,
by sad experience, that the refrig-
Grating qualities of a refrigerator
can not be measured solely by OUT
side appearance.
A really good ice refrigerator, with
pure, clean ice, such as is manu-
featured by the Polar company, is
the best method of refrigeration.
The use Of ice for refrigeration
preserves the humidity balance, as
well as the natural flavors Of food.
Polar ice is delivered from the
company's clean plant in spick and
span trucks Or wagons by men
wearing white uniforms which are
changed daily.
There are many things entering
into the building of a refrigerator
which must be given the most care
full attention. The most important
of these are insulation, construc-
ton and circulation.
Insulation must be suitable to
maintain required temperatures for
lifetime use. Polar construction
insures that every minute point of
corners, sides, top, bottom, back,
front and doors thoroughly Is pro-
tected. Cork board insulation is
useless unless it covers all possible
warm air channels to the inside of
the refrigerator.
Circulation Is Important
Without perfect circulation no
refrigerator can function salts
factorily. In Polar refrigerator.
air flows over the ice and through
food compartments continuously,
collecting and carrying with it ex-
cess warmth and moisture and
whatever odors are given off by
foods.
All these Objectionable elements
and impurities are deposited on the
thin film of ice and are eliminated
with ice meltage through the out
let.
Polar refrigerators are built on
sound scientific principles and en-
brace all those requirements essen
tial to perfect refrigeration.
The Polar is a perfectly balanced
refrigerator selling we'll within the
popular quality price range, guar
anted to give years of the most
satisfactory service at minimum
cost.
Built to Specifications
All Polar refrigerators are spe-
cially built to order with specifica-
tons prepared by some of the ma
tons leading scientists.
The Polar Ice and Fuel Company
presents a most complete display of
Polar refrigerators in all sizes, mod
els and colors at their display
rooms, 1000 Northwestern avenue.
Statesmen gladly will call at the
the home and take persons inter-
ested in refrigerators to the show
room, and then return them to
their homes, without obligation to
buy.

GREAT ADVANCE
MADE IN ROOFS
Fire Resisting Materials
Add to Value.

A building is only as good as its
roof. After all, the greatest ac-
complishment Of the modern build
ing has been along these lines.
The great cathedrals of the mid
die ages, recognized as architectural
triumphs the world over, and pre-
senting remarkable treatment of
the roofs, nevertheless were depen-
dent on wooden beams, and the
risks of fire always were present.
Nowadays. man may have roof
on his building that is as fire re-
siStant as the rest of the structure,
as handsome as anything the arch
fleets of the middle ages designed,
and as durable as the walls them
selves. This applies to such great
structures as are piercing the clouds
Of our cities no more than it does to
the siX-room cottage.
For roofing in the hands of a
long established and we'll expe-
rienced house like that Of the Henry
C. Smithers Roofing Company, at
430 South Meridian street, leaves
nothing to chance.
1t is the application of the latest
and best materials in the surest way,
and in their hands, whether it be a
small or big job, the work is given
the kind of attention that gives re-
suits. The bare fact that thew have
served Marion county for more than
thirty-nine years, in itself is evil
dence of the character of the work.
OF course, in that time they have
done many big jobs, many artistic
jobs, and many just plain utilitar-
ian roofing jobs They have in
stalled just about all kinds of roof
ing, and used all kinds of materials.
They know the application Of all
roofing materials, they know which
is the best for the service, and they
know how it should be put on.
