RECORD CROWD
EXPECTED AT
HOME EXHIBIT
Great Attention to Be Paid
House Heating, Says
Director.

The thirteenth annual Home
Complete exposition, April 6 to IA,
is the next big event to be held in
the Manufacturers building at the
Indiana State Playground. The show
is opening one day earlier this year
to accommodate the more than
100000 home lovers expected to view
latest innovations in home furnish
ings and equipment.
Since SO per cent of the heating
plants in Indianapolis are obsolete,
and at least 40 per cent of them will
be changed With nthe next few
years." j. Frank Cantwell, director
of the exposition said, 1--WE will have
displays Of the most modern ways
of keeping your house warm. There
also will be air conditioning plants
which make for healthier and
cleaner homes"
New Setting Arranged
A large block in the rear Of the
building has been reserved by the
Electric League of Indianapolis for
one of the most unusual displays
ever included in a home show. 1t
will tell the story of electricity,
showing how many uses it has in
the home and how it makes for
more comfortable and pleasant
living.
The show arrangement has been
changed this year. In former years,
the model house, the centerpiece,
faced the main entrance. This year
the pit opening will be blocked.
The two main aisles will lead to the
rear of the ebuilding, which the
front of the house will face.
Designed by Burns & James, it
is to be the typical small house one
might find at the edge of city.
1t will be planned so as to suggest
ideas to any one wanting larger
house, being so elastic that it can
be reproduced from $4,000 to $4,000,
depending on materials. AS in the
past, the interior will be completely
furnished in keeping with the style
of the house. The exterior will be
Handicapped with particular empha-
sis on windows, each one being a
picture properly planned. Build
ing will be under supervision of a
committee composed of Charles E.
Wagner, chairman; Carl Spickelmier
and Merritt Harrison.
Individual Gardens Planned
The pit surrounding the house
will be filed with gardens and
flower displays. The indianapolis
Garden Clubs are planning in
dividual gardens and the Allied
Florists will display special varieties
and new creations in flowers.
Great interest is already being
evinced in the show. More than
one hundred manufacturers and
distributors of materials and equip
ment for the home have contracted
for display space.
Sponsors of the show are: The
Allied Florists of Indianapolis,
Architects Association of Indian
apolis, Construction League Of In
dianapoliS, Electric League of In
dianapolis, Indianapolis Chamber
Of Commerce, Indianapolis Home
Builders of indianapolis, Indian
apolis Real Estate Board, Material
and Lumber Dealers of indianapolis.

NEW BUSINESS
STARTED DURING 1888
Gain of SIS Per Cent Over 1882 in
Mississippi Valley.

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Fbe. 17.-An indica-
ton of increased business confidence
in the Mississippi valley is given
by Mark Fenton, general industrial
agent Of the Illinois Central System.
writing in the February issue of the
Illinois Central magazine. Mr.. Fen
ton reports that 112 new industries
of forty-five diversified types located
on the system in 1888.
Distributed among seventy-two
cities and towns, the industries rep
resent a total capital investment of
$1,000. 500 and employ 3,773 workers.
The increase in number of new in
dustries as compared with 1882 was
IS per cent.
"This showing during depression
year is a decided index of the trend
that American industry is taking in
its shift from the congested east
to the Mississippi valley" writes Mr..
Fenton. Here we have raw mate
rails, labor, markets, transportation,
power, industrial sites, water, eli
mate and living conditions which
combine most advantageOusly."

DECLARES MOST
OF U, S. HOMES
NEED REPAIRING
Editor of American Builder.
Gives Estimate of
go Per- Cent.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. IL
Ninety per cent Of the residential
properties in the United States to-
day need minor or major repairs,
alterations or modernizaton, Accord
ing to E. L. Gilbert, editor of the
American Builder. who urges "a bill
lion dollars in federal mortgage
money for self-liquidating loans on
residential property
Calling attention to the fact that
property depreciates at the rate Of
p per cent a year, Mr. Gilbert illus
trateS his plea for modernization
with charts Of work needed" and
work done" Homes that have stood
for years without a protective coat
ing of paint or needed repair work
depreciate even more rapidly, it is
pointed out.
Because of inactivity during 1929
to 1882, Mr. Gilbert sees a need
for nearly thirteen billions of work.
in the residential field AT least
half of this great need for housing
must fall within the classification of
mOdernization and home repairs.
Private capital, Mr.. Gilbert be-
lieves, will be heartened if federal
funds are made available to home
owners and prospective home own
erS for modernizatiOn, home repairs
and new home building. A leader
is always required during uncertain
times and there is no more effective
and influential leadership than can
be given by the government OF the
United States"
If congress does direct such &C.
ton, Mr.. Gilbert sees far-reaching
benefits lin the prompt decline in
applications for relief by building
mechanics, in the certain improve
ment of local trade and in the
stimulation of capital goods indus
tries. Every dollar of money so ex"
pended will be in the form of a self
liquidating loan of the finest security
any government might wish - the
homes of its citizens"

SANTA FE INCREASES
CAR AIR CONDITIONING
Prepares Eighty-Nine Units for Use
of Summer Tourists.

Eighty-nine air. conditioned cars
will be ready for summer travel on
Santa F'e limited trains, an
nounceS w. j. Black, passenger
traffic manager.
Acknowledging already has been
applied to twenty-three Santa Fe
dining cars, and these diners, OPP
Grated by Fred Harvey, are now in
service.
Thirty-six more of the roads
dining cars, lounge cars and cafe
observation and club cars are i'm
mediately to be aforementioned,
while thirty sleeping cars are also
to be similarly treated, Mr.. Black
states, adding that it will thus be
possible to include certain air

Mr.. Black believes taat the added
comfort of r-conditioning, plus
the economy of the new low fares
and reduced sleeping car charges,
will greatly increase the number of

NJ. E. Tracy
Says

TN spite of all the gadgets, doo-
Il dads and systems by which we
propose to make the world over
andn all the contempt with which
we view those unfortunate gene
rations who had to plough with
oxen, or travel by sail, we are still
glad to read what an author of
the last century had to say about
Christ, even though he said it
for the benefit of his children and
not for publication.
To hear some people talk you
would think that Dickens was
hopelesSly out of date, and that
there was nothing more to be said
concerning the Man of Calvary
except in a light or sneering vein.
But here is the answer: SIS a word
the highest price on record.
Curiously enough, few doubt
that those who bought the pub
fishing rights will make money.
Would such a thing be possible
if Dickens were not the writer and
CIlTlSJ JLe SUBJECT!
There were giants in those days,
and, for all one knows, there may
be giants in these days. 1t takes
long time, however, for the world
to recognize a giant. The world
always is looking for one and al
ways assuming that it has discov-
cred one, but generation or two
is usually enough to disclose the
error.
TRULY great figures are seldom
l. understood until long after
they have passed out of the living
present, while bankers and bally-
hoo artists run away with the
show.
The most interesting phase of
human development is the work
that survives, especially the in
tellectual work, and how long it
frequently takes to make an i'm
preston!
The pyramids still stand, but
the corpses they were designed to
protect have gone. Greek art still
lives, but the religion it was meant
TO exalt has persisted.
Who, dwelling in Jerusalem at
the time of the crucifixion, could
have guessed that biography of
the victim would bring more than
100000 nineteen centuries hence.
Did Dickens suspect such a
thing when he wrote it?
Measured by the same yardstick,
what of this generation will be
remembered or bring high prices
1000 or even 200 years ahead? No
one knows, but it probably will be
something We do not regard as
very important.
Close at hand hills look like
mountains. 1t requires distance to
get a true perspective. The bigger
the mountains the farther We
must go 10 get clear concep-
ton of their outline.
The same thing is true of ideas.
We do not think the Athenians
were justified in killing Socrates,
but they had no doubt. To them,
he simply was an obstructionist to
the existing theories Of morality
and religion.
Milton trying to peddle his
Paradise Lost" was just down
and out politician to those whom
he approached and the man who
bought it for $40 was looked upon
as very kind or easy.

Vote Against
Scab as Teacher

GILLESPIE, Hl-(FP) No scabs
or rats are wanted on the teaching
staff Of the Gillespie high school. This
was overwhelmingly evident when a
special election of the school district
resulted in 1000 votes against retain
ing a steel strikebreaker as English
teacher to LOIS votes in favor.
The vote would have been even
stronger against David Tallman, the
scab in question. If he had not been an
athletic star and the pride of his home
town before he worked as a strike
breaker this summer when the steel
workers union at Alton was on strike.
Gillespie is headquarters of the Pro-
gressive Miners Union. Children from
Progressive homes went on school
strike and stayed out until Tallman
was told to stay away until the cleo
ton determined his fate. He can now
scab as much as he pleases where
scabs are welcome.

Sailor Says Burned Ward
Liner Had $5,OOO,OOO Insurance

CHICAGO. - FP) The insurance
angle in the Moro Castle disaster is
discussed by J. S. Morgan, an able
seaman who made the Ward liners
maiden voyage in 1880, in a front page
story in the Sept. q Industrial Solid
arity.
"The A. G. w. I. corporation" Nor
gan writes, "of which the Ward line
is a subsidiary, had the Moro Castle
insured for over $5,000,O00, and due to
the decline in business and the COM
petition of shipping interests, the
Moro Castle was due to be laid up
and at a great loss to the owners.
Thus there is a popular opinion
among shipping men to the effect that
the fire was set on the Moro Castle
by no other than the owners of the
vessel in order to save millions and
collect over $5,000,0O0 of insurance"

A HAS
SUCCESSFUL MEETING
Continued from page y

serves the thanks Of all the working
men and women of the state OF Mon
tana, whether organized or morgan
lied. Mr.. Graham's office is always al
the disposal of the distressed and those
who are being borne down upon by
industry. Credit must be given to the
Unions who are loyal to the Federation
for it is the money that is paid in by
these loyal Unions hat makes it pos
sible for the Federation to function
and also to help, without any assist
ance from them, the Unions that are
outside the fold.
The Committee on Organization
which was headed by Sam Barrett, in
troduced quite a number of resolu-
tons. An attempt to reduce the per
capita tax to five cents was defeated
The convention pledged itself to ef-
feet an organization OF the Sugar Fac
tory at Billings.
The City Central Councils were
urged to organize all office workers
and stenographers.
The convention went on record as
favoring the industrial type of organi-
cation. The convention asked all af-
filiated unions through the recommen-
dation OF the committee to pay a spe-
cial five-cent quarterly assessment.
B. l. Steinmatz, president of the Cas-
cade County Trades and Labor coun-
Gil, submitted a report for the COM
mittee on unemployment relief. This
committee in its recommendation de-
manded the immediate discrimination
OF relief workers on competitive en-
ployment where the cash wages is less
than the standard in a community,
This protest was sent to Harry A.
Hopkins, National Director of Relief
and all the County, State, and Ma
tional Administrative Officers of this
department. A complaint also was
brought in about the reduction Of the
FERA budget and the Federation of
Labor was ordered to protest through
the State Relief Administration about
the reduction of this budget.
The convention went on record as
approving the immediate payment Of
the Soldiers Bonus. The difficulty that
organized labor has had in placing
their members in the unemployment
offices was brought to the attention
of the delegates by the committee.
The convention was ordered to take
immediate steps to see that organized
labor has men placed in these offices.
Deer Lodge was chosen as the next
convention city.
The convention adjourned at OILS p.
m. Friday.
