STATE MURALS
ARRIVE AT FAIR
Great Size and Weight of
Benton's Art Work Adds
to Moving Task.
BY MRS. MAURICE MURPHY
Times staff Writer

CHICAGO, May 23.-Great diff
fculty was experienced in trans
porting Thomas H. Benton's murals
to their destination at the Century
of Progress exposition here. Because
of the tremendous size and weight
of the canvases, which portray the
history of Indiana, bridges had to be
tested and measured all along the
way.
Another major problem which
confronted those in charge of the
moving was that Of obtaining pass
es for the huge trucks through Chi
cago parks and boulevards.
Maurice Starkey of Indianapolis
accompanied the murals to Chicago,
where they were received by Thomas
Hibben, architect, of Indianapolis
and New York, who has had the ex-
tremely difficult task of designing
the Indiana hall in the Court of
States group, in order to house the
exhibits effectively. and by H. K.
Roberts of Marshall, Ind, assisting
Hibben in directing installation of
the murals.
Robert Kingery, regional plan
commissioner, of Chicago, arranged
for a police escort through the parks
and boulevards, where traffic was
of necessity temporarily halted.

TLAKE COMO ATTRACTS MANY

next several weeks, it is hoped
that sufficient funds can be raised
to put in showers and other bath
house comforts and improvements
that will make the lake even more
attractive and inviting than it has
ever been. On Wednesday and
Thursday, July II and Is, a benefit
show will be given at the Strand
Theatre, which it is hoped, will be
patronized by all the town people
to promote such a worthy cause
Funds from this show and other
money-making projects in the fu-
ture will all be used toward any
additional improvements at the

found necessary. Glasses are now
being formed for a swimming con-

Lake Como, which in recent

in the state, is again the mecca for
large crowds of bathers. Not only
do the people of Smyrna enjoy the
swimming hole" which was given
fresh impetus during the torrid
hot spell, but many from near
Smyrna and the neighboring towns
come here to bathe. The Town, as
in former years, has placed a life
guard at the Lake this year, they
having put Hilory w. Oliver Jr., in
charge. Oliver is on duty every
afternoon and while keeping an
eagle eye" on the entire acquatic
sports, is especially careful in his
watch over the little children, that
they do not venture too far. No

made at the lake at the beginning

STORM BREAKS
TORRID SPELL.
Northeaster, Accompanied by
Rains and Heavy Gales
Damages Crops
ROUTS THE HOT WAVE

Reminiscent Of early winter days
a rainstorm lashed by a stiff north
easter, routed July weather into
oblivion Sunday night and Mon
day. The temperature which had
been slowly moving to 100 degrees
in the shade on Saturday in Smyr-
ma, suddenly slumped to below so
degrees. Those who had left for
the seashore and other watering
places, some to stay until after the
Fourth, found themselves maroon
ed and without heavier wraps to
keep them warm. The heavy rains
and winds kept them within doors
The rain storm ragged fiercely all
Sunday night, having started late
Sunday afternoon. Towards mid
night, the rain subsided to an easy
going and gentle summer down
pour, but towards morning the
fury of the storm arose again and
continued Monday morning. A
break in the storm clouds was seen
about noon. Throughout the
country district acres of corn were
laid low by the strong wind and
fields shocked with wheat found
the shocks strewn all over the
field. Other growing crops were
laid low by the wind and deluge of
rain. In some cases awnings were
ripped to shreds. Automobiles
were stalled along the highway
and some had to be towed to gar
ages for service. Cellars were
flooded and the ponds and streams
were filled to overf1owing. The
ground was pretty dry in some
places and the rain, despite the
damage, was needed to refreshen
the parched earth. BY Monday
the storm had spent itself and the
temperature took drop to as low
as SO degrees, causing many to get
out their coats and blankets, start
hearth fires, while some with oil
burners started up their furnaces.
The cool weather continued until
yesterday, the Fourth, when the
day dawned bright and clear with
warm sunshine to cause a rise in
temperature to more near normal
living.

LOSES HIS HOME

Losing a cottage at Woodland
Beach he was just ready to buy
together with $1,000 in cash, he
was said to have been ready to
turn over to Howard James, the
owner was the double misfortune
that befell Squire Watson of Mar
Gus Hook yesterday at Woodland
Beach. 1t seems that Mr. Watson
with his family, had come down to
occupy the cottage and yesterday
afternoon at $50, had started the
gasoline stove for the evening
meal when it exploded Smyrna
fremen were at once summoned
but before the stiff breeze that
was prevailing at the time the fire
had gained such headway as to get
beyond control and the efforts Of
Smyrna fremen were fruitless.
Later the Clayton Fire Company
joined Smyrna on second alarm
to keep the fire from spreading.
The cottage was sold on Saturday
to Mr. Watson by Mr.. James and
settlement of the sale was to have
been made today Wednesday. II
is reported he had in his cottage
$1,000 which he brought down with
him which was to have been used
for payment Of the cottage today
to make settlement with Mr..
James. This was burned with the
contents Of the house. All the
furniture and contents were com
pletely destroyed, the fire gaining
such headway that they were un-
able to be saved. Smyrna fremen
responded to the alarm sent in but
by the time they arrived at the
scene, the house had burned to the
ground. Good work was done by
the firemen in preventing the fire
from spreading to other buildings
nearby A barn belonging to Mr..
/ George H. Horner also caught fire
and was destroyed with number
of tools and implements. The loss
on the house is estimated to be
about $500 and on the barn, $500.

ROTARY VISITS

To DIR. Ellsworth
CLUBS REPRESENTED

The Middletown Rotary Club
sponsored a big Inter-City meet
ing last Wednesday evening with
large delegations of the following
clubs present: Middletown, Ches-
tertown, Elkton, Dover, and Smyr-
ma. This meeting was planned in
honor of DR.. Paul Ellsworth, re
firing president of Washington
College at Chestertcwn, Md. DR..
Ellsworth is leaving to become
president of Alfred University, AL
fred, New York. DR.. Ellsworth
was the principal speaker of the
evening and left mony thoughts
for every Rotarian in his address
on Coordination" The speaker
said in part that coordination was
the human power. Rotary was
characterized as a school that de-
velops men to coordinate the pow
er of his own being. Rotary has
a task for every member and urg-
eded that every Rotarian to help
coordinate in his community for
the upbuilding of his community.
Uncoordination as a destructive
weapon, in comparison to coordi-
nation, the success of a commun-
ity, city, state, and nation. DR..
Ellsworth closed in urging every
Rotarian to dedicate his life to
proper coordination and help build
his community. Harry Davidson
of the Middletown club was chair
man of the evenings program.
Roy Smith of Elkton, baritone So
loist, rendered several selections.
DR.. Jerry Niles directed the sing
ing and John Tobin of the Middle
town club presided.
