Distant Stations Can Be
Tuned In Clearly by
improved Set.

Installation of radio on motor
cars has added a great pleasure to
driving and relied the tedious
monotony of long drives.
Like great many other ideas, the
working out of this idea was not so
successful at first, for there is a vast
difference in the installation of a
radio in a quiet house and the in
stallation in running piece Of ma
chinery.
Engineers have worked out a
radio especially designed for this.
1t is not an adaptation of some
thing else, but a speciality for this
purpose alone. 1t is the Motorola
auto radio, distributed by Kruse
Radio, Inc, 80 West Ohio street.
This company, which has been oper-
ating twelve years, is headed by c.
j. KruSe, president, and E. L. Kruse
ice-president.
1t sells the Motorola, the Sparton

alton and radio parts and Access

installations can be made without
marring the car in any way, with
the convenience of an Illuminated

Company officials say the easiest
way to convince motorists of the
superiority of the Motorola is to
hear it. Being especially designed
for motor use, the set has many
features that will be of interest to
radio fans.

SEEK TO CUT EXPENSE
OF C0UNTY'S WARD
Budget Makers Ponder Means of
SIashing S15O,OOO Item.

Means of reducing costs for care
of dependent children, as wards in
private institutions, is sought to-
day by county budget makers.
Councilmen hope to slash request
of commissioners for $150,OC0 for
this purpose. A $4,000 budget was
insufficient last year, additional ap-
preparations bringing the cost to
100000.
Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler
said the countys dependent chill
dren had increased 25 per cent the
last year. Institutions are paid rs
cents daily for care of each child.
Walter Boetcher, council presi-
dent, declared he had asked Geckler
to cut this daily cost to IS cents.
Juvenile authorities estimate the
county has approximately 700 wards.

COOL NORTHERN
TOUR OFFERED
Many Pleasant Cruises Are
Now Available.

A trip north within the next two
months is one of the worlds greatest
delights.
One not only escapes the hot
weather that is sure to come, but he
also gets a slight touch of the early
fall, a crispness in the atmosphere
which puts real pep into jaded
bodies and minds.
There are tours into the Canadian
Rockies, farther on into the Alaskan
wonders on the one side, and tours
over the great waterways of eastern
Canada, with the wonderful fishing
off the banks.
Two of the most popular of such
cruises are those starting from
Montreal and visiting Prince Ed
ward island, st. Pierre and New
foundland, and those starting at
New York with stops at Nova Scotia,
st. Pierre, Newfoundland and other
points of interest. Sailings are to
be made every Saturday up to and
including Sept. "a.
Formerly such tours required
much preparation and work. Now,
thanks to organization of travel bu-
reaus, the traveller may have the
rest and comfort of the trip with
out feverish preparations before
hand
The travel department of the
Union Trust Company, 100 East
Market street, takes all the discom-
fort out of this preparation. Under
the guidance of Richard A. Kurtz,
its manager, one is provided with a
complete itinerary and the details
that harasS travellers to foreign
countries are cared for, even to the
matters of transportation tickets
and travellers checks.
This service extends to trips any,
where. One may select a west IN
dian or South American trip sail
through the Mediterranean or a
voyage anywhere, and leave Indi-
annapolis with all details settled, the
pathway made smooth and the
journey made easy.
1t is a remarkable Service-one
tat makes travelling much more of
delight, and Kurtz and his assist
ants always are glad to help plan
any kind of an outing that involves
travel.

entrant that will flash toward the
finish line an easy winner. Who is
he? Yeah, who?
Watch each edition of The Times
for standings, to get ballots, and to
hear the latest bulletins from the

who never judged a porcupine in a
bristle show.
Vote for Blank Blank or John Doe
or anyone today to wear the

before at his coronation and some
oratory you'll never hear again.

MINERAL WATER
is HELD TO Be
HEALTH BENEFIT
Advantages of Resort Now
Are Available in CryS-
tai Form.

Texas is remarkable for a number
of things of unusual advantage to
the rest of the world. Among these,
perhaps the most remarkable is the
water at Mineral Wells.
In fact, Mineral Wells already has
become enc of the outstanding
health resorts of the world because
these palatable and efficient elimi-
native waters exist there in such
abundance.
The water is sought by persons
suffering from such ailments as
rheumatism, high or low blood pres
sure, diabetes, neuritis and diseases
of the stomach, bowels, kidneys and
liver. Amazing benefits are report
ed regularly and the number of
persons who have been i'll and have
benefited at these wells is large.
Not every one can go to Texas;
consequently the next best thing is
to bring the water to the homes of
suffering individuals.
Water Is Evaporated
Since it is the minerals in the
water that make it so effective,
some genius conceived the idea of
evaporating the water down to the
minerals, and thereby produced
what is known as crazy crystals
the natural product of the mineral
wells with the water itself evapo-
rated.
Many Indiana residents use them.
They say these crystals bring to
their homes a great health resort
The Crazy Crystal Company
opened a downtown exclusive Crazy
CryStale store at ia East Washing
ton street.
A level teaspoon of the crystals
to pint of water is the usual
way in which the water is prepared.
The eliminative process cleans up
the system and gives one chance
to get we'll. 1t is claimed for these
crystals that when directions are
followed they will cleanse the in
testineS promptly. clear the blood
stream of poisonS and neutralize
acidity, promote eliminative proc
eSses and help the liver and kidneys
in their functions.
Discovered so Years Ago
The name "Crazy" comes from
the first recorded curative effect OF
these waters, fifty years ago, when
two hysterical women were relieved
of their troubles through drinking
the waters.
At that time the first well was
given the name of Crazy Women
Well" and later the water came to
be known as the crazy water. When
they began to make crystals of this
water the only logical name for
them was Crazy Crystals and that
is the origin of this unusual name.
Since the crystalization process
was developed, the Crazy Crystal
business has developed to enorm-
GUS proportions, until now the
crystals are sold throughout the
United States and in many foreign
countries.

EXPERT TELLS
why ECLIPSE
TAKES PLACE
Moon Gets in Earth'S
Shadow and Shuts of
Suns Light.
This Is the second Of three articles on
the eclipse Of the sun on Aug. %.
BY CAPT. FREDERICK HELLWEG
u. S. n.
Superintendent United states Naval
Observatory


Copyright. 1892. by United Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-One OF
the most frequent questions is
What causes the eclipse?"
The moon revolves around the
earth in its own path, called its or
bit. This orbit almost is circular
and the plane of this orbit passes
very close TO the sun.
The moon has no light of its own
What we see is the reflection of the
suns brilliant light from the face of
the moon, as a light is reflected from
a mirror.
The moon is more than 1000 miles
in diameter and of course no light
can pass through; therefore, the
side of the moon away from the sun
is dark, and the moons shadow, like
an enormous cone with the moon as
its base, sweeps through space as the
moon travels its orbit.
Gets in Others Shadow
The earth is about 5000 miles in
diameter, and it does exactly the
same as the moon. The side of the
earth toward the sun is Illuminated
brilliantly, and heated by the
warmth of the sun. The side away
from the sun is dark. We say it
is night time there.
The shadow of the earth is an
other enormous cone of darkness
sweeping through space as we travel
our orbit.
AS these two bodies speed through
space with tremendous velocity, oc-
casionally one gets in the others
shadow.
This can happen only when the
sun, moon and earth are in a
straight line.
Whichever is in the middle blocks
the sunlight from the other.
If the moon is in the middle it
blocks the sunlight from the earth
and we say there is a solar eclipse
But if the earth is in the middle
we block the sunlight from the
moon and we say there is lunar
eclipse.
The moon travels around the
earth once in twenty EIGHT days.
The moons speed to make the trip
averages about LIP miles per hour.
Eclipse Time Is Short
The earth is spinning at the rate
of 1000 miles per hour so that you
can see that new section of the
earth's surface is being continuously
brought within the shadow of the
moons cone during the period of
the eclipse. The earth also is travel
ing along its own orbit around the
sun.
The result of all these motions is
to make the time of the total
eclipse at any point very short.
The relative motion causes one of
the most awe-inspiring manifesto
tions of the total eclipse. You sud-
denly are plunged into darkness. All
living things seem to hold their
breath; and over all these spreads
a deathlike silence which is I'M
canny
Almost Immediately, the wonder
full spectacle is over, the swiftly
moving bodies-moon and earth
get out of line with the sun.
The sun again appears as a thin
crescent, rapidly grows, and the
eclipse is a matter of history.
