WORLD FAIR PROVES
BOON TO ARCHITECTS
Exposition Is Center for
Advanced Design.
By Times Special

BY ItmeS Spectdk
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-The Century
of Progress Exposition is proving a
special feast for architects and
builders. Never before in the history
Of the world has such a stimulating
display of new building materials
and advanced building ideas been
massed at one point where their ap-
plication may be seen fully and
practically demonstrated.
The housing group is the focus
of attention for visiting architects
and builders and within that group
a building which is commanding
significant attention is the beautiful
structure built of many colored glass
blocks, developed by the Owens-Illi-
nois Glass Company, Toledo, o.
This handsome building, 100 feet
long and 60 feet wide, with a tower
of colored glass blocks rising so feet
high, has a commanding position on
the midway in the center Of the eX-
position.
Long before 1t was completed and
long before the fair opened archi-
tectS from all parts Of the country
we're visiting it to watch the pro-
cesses of construction. In the
opinion Of fair officials it is one
Of the most significant features Of
most remarkable exposition, mark
ing now era in modern archi-
lecture and presaging Interesting
new departures from past traditions
of the building industry.

POLAR VENTURE
WELL EQUIPPED
Many Types of Automotive
Engines Accompany
Byrd Expedition.

Admiral Byrd and seventy other
fearless men have sailed for another
great adventure in the vast, I'M
friendly south polar regions.
Monoplane, biplane, autogiro,
snowmobile, tractors, steamship,
auxiliary sailing vessel, cupboard
motor boats; all these are necessary
to the Byrd Antarctic expedition II
in the accomplishment Of its scien-
tif1c detectives.
Little America Is more than 10000
miles from New York and it is there
that the most completely equipped
polar expedition ever organized will
base. To cover this 1000 miles, ADJ
miral Bryd selected two ships, the
Jacob Rupert and the Bear Of Oak
land. The Bear is an breaking
sailing vessel of glorious history
with a coast guard in Alaska, with
auxiliary power, and the Jacob Rup-
pera is a fuel-oil-burning ex-ship-
ping board vessel in the 10,000-ton
class.
These two vessels carry in their
deep holds and on their decks a COM
plete and variegated automotive
equipment and huge and just as
varied supply Of T1dol and Veedol
fuels and lubricants for its opera
ton. Almost every type of automo-
tive engine now in use is repre-
sented-air cooled radial engines for
the airplanes, water cooled truck
engines for. the snowmobileS, out
board motor boat engines, engines
for self-contained generator units
and a Diesel engine for generating
a high output of electrical current,
and the steam engines of the YES
sells. Truly an automotive engineers
dreamer nightmare.
Some Of these units will run the
entire gamut of climatic tempera-
ture and service operating condi-
tons. During the expedition many
Of these power plants will be sub
jected to temperatures of from 100
degrees Fahrenheit on the equator
to 10 or rs degrees below zero In
the Antarctic.
These engines, due to the ex-
tremely variable service conditions
they will meet, demand a wide
range of specially selected fuels and
lubricants. The amount and num-
Der of petroleum products being
delivered to the Byrd Antarctic Ex-
petition by the Tidewater Oil Com
pany is truly indicative of the scope
and aims of this latest attempt to
solve the mysteries OF the. south
polar wastes.

REFRIGERATOR SALES
SHOW Big INCREASE
Rise of 256 Per Cent in
August Total Reported.

Unit sales Of household electric
refrigerators by members of the re-
frigeration division of National
Electrical Manufacturers ASsocia-
ton were S2,495 units as compared
with 23,124 units in August, 1882, an
increase Of 256.75 per cent, accord
ing to report issued by Louis Ruth
enburg, consultant to that organ
ization.
Unit sales for the year to date
total 742,572 units as compared with
SOS, S44 for the corresponding period
of 1882. an increase of 3043 per
cent.
Cumulative dollar sales for the
year to date, however. are only 4.s6
per cent ahead of those for the
corresponding period Of 1882.
Because Of the improbable level
of current prices, and marked in
creases in material costs, retriger-
ator prices show rising tendency
which probably will be accumulated
as new models are announced.
Stocks In the hands Of dealers and
distributors are quite low.

AIR-INTERURBAN
SERVICE SPEEDS
STATES TRAVEL
New Type Transportation Is
introduced by Indi-
ana Railroads.

A new type of fast transportation
now is available to citizens of this
state This innovation consists OF a
combination interuban airplane
service, the arrangements for which
have been completed by the Indiana
Railroad System and American
Anyways Inc.
w. L. Snodgress, traffic superin-
tendsnt for the interurban system,
announced that negotiations re-
Gently were completed for this type
Of travel to a number of cities out
side Of the state. The railroad
airplane combination has operated
successfully for several years. but
the linking Of interurban service to
airlines is new in Indiana.
This new system affords quick
transportation to those whose homes
neither are on railroads nor air.
lines; and economy is available be-
cause of the recently reduced rates
Of the Indiana railroad system.
The cost now is approximately
cents a mile one way, and l Il cents
mile round trip.
Passengers needing fast service to
western cities may take the inter-
urban to Terre Haute, and transfer
there for st. Louis, Kansas City,
Fl. Worth and other distant cities
on air lines. At Louisville paSSen-s
gers may change to planes for
Nashville, Chattanooga. Atlanta
and other southern cities.
This new service is expected to-
be a great boon to business and pro-
fessional men of the state whose
home cities are not on the air
lines" Mr.. SnodgraSs said. Many
of them, living in cities served by
the traction system, will be able to
save on long trips by using the in
terurban service to Indianapolis,
Terre Haute or Louisville, and
transferring to the high-speed, dis
lance flying planes of American
