SILENT ORATOR
ALWAYS ON JOB
Motograph of Local Company
Flashes Civic and Patriotic
Messages.
In keeping with the rapid growth of
the city In the past decade the rapid and
almost unprecedented development of the
Merchants Heat and Light Company
since 1914 affords an Interesting basis of
comparing the demands of a steadily
growing city of 1921 with those of only
a few years back.
Seven years ago the gross revenue of
the company amounted to $176,000 for
the year. Statistics for the past year
show that the gross business amounted
to the enormous sum of more than
$3,000,000. Not content with this the
interests owning the company are plan
ning for still further expansion, and
plans are now well onder way by which
seven plants L. *he triangle, the points
of which arc Indianapolis, Kokomo and
Terre Haute, will be merged into one
ginm company.
Officials of the company say that this
will result in far greater service re
liability to the consumer and ultimately
In cheaper rates for an improved service.
One of the unique features of the com
pany's servics to ths community has
been tbs now famous "Silent Orator,"
which nightly from the top of the Mer
chants Heat and Light Company build
ing, Meridian and Washington street,
spells out Its message to more than 8,500
persons who read as they walk.
This Is said to be the oldest motopaph
In continuous service In the United
States. Since it first started operation
July 16, 1916, it never has been ont of
service. It holds the proud record of
having delivered messages from the
President of the United States during the
World War and of bringing cheer and
patriotic messages to thousands of citi
zens during the dark days when the Hun
vti making his last bid for world su
premacy in his final drive on Paris in
ths spring of 1918.
The a lent Orator never has been com
mercialized, officials of the company say.
It never has displayed its messages for
pay and It baa been thrown open free to
patriotic and civic movements ever since
it first began to flash out its messages.
NEW AUTO PLAN
PROVES SUCCESS
Tay-as-You-Ride' Idea Makes
Hit With Public.
Expert automobile men said It never
could be done; that irresponsible, wild
eyed, joy riding drivers would wreck the
machines within a week. Bankers and
other financial men said the plan wns
too radical and wz doomed to failure,
but one Indianapoltt man, George S.
Beard, was convinced that his Idea was
correct and he stuck to it and put It
across And here is the idea, nothing
more nor less than many persons who
do not use automobiles on a rental bases
will rent them gladly If they are per
mitted to do the driving themselves, thus
saving the expenses of having to pay
for the time of an expert chauffeur as
as for the use of the car.
Mr. Beard's original idea was put Into
practice in Indianapolis almost two years
Bro, and so great was the success of ttie
plan that today the Warren Auto Livery
Company, 127 Earn Wabash street, of
which he is sn officer and general man
tg er, operates on no other basis.
“I always did believe that there was a
big demand for automobiles that could
be driven by the man renting them," Mr.
Beard explained. "When I first kprung
tuy idea you would have thought I was
announcing some wild eyed doctrine from
the uay it was received by the supposedly
wise automobile people. All sorts of
dire disaster was predicted, my cars
would be stolen, they would be found In
tree tops and In river beds; but actual
experierce Ims shown that as a general
rule my customers have been more care
ful of my cars than they would have been
of their own. Then the item of cost has
a strong appeal to automobile ranters
One of the Mg Items of expense under the
usual way of conducting a business is
the hire of experienced, skilled drivers.
This is a big Item. With th's item re
moved from consideration the customer Is
of course able to rent a machine at a
much lower figure than if he hired a car
driven by an employe of the company.
"This service has a strong appeal to
traveling men and professional men who
are away from home and In Indianapolis
on business. Car owners themaoives. they
would have very little use for a chauffeur,
and a large percentage of our business
comes from this class of trade, men who
wish t ohave a machine at their disposal
while In Indianapolis.”
BRIDGE OPENING
TO BE REAL EVENT
Knightstown Structure to Be
Ready for Use Sept. 1
W. R. Britton, an engineer in. the
bridge department of the State High
way Commission, has written to Lawrence
Lyons, director, that the big concrete
bridge which the department is erecting
near Knightstown wIU be opened to
traffic on the evening of Sept. 1. and
Henry County citizens plan to make this
oocasion a real event of community in
terest. (
This bridge is on the National road
which crosses Bine River Just east of
the corporate line of Knightstown. It
consists of two concrete spans, each
eighty-two feet long. The roadway of
the bridge is twenty feet wide and was
so constructed to speed up traffic. On
either side of this la a five-foot sidewalk
with concrete balustrade, hand railings
and curved approaches. Knlghtsiown
was so pleased with the new structure
that it Installed a system of ornamental
electric lights on the bridge with cluster
lights at the approaches These will 11
luroinate the structure at night and
prove both a safety and ornamental fea
ture.
According to information reaching the
State highway department, the opening
of the bridge to public travel will be
marked by a splendid program. Two
bands will provide entertainment, and
addresses will be delivered by State Rep
presentatlve Morgan of nenry County,
Earl Crawford, n member of the State
Highway Commission, the mayor of
Knightstown and others. Mr. Lyons and
William J. Titus, chief bridge engineer
for the commission, will attend. The
bridge cost approximately $55,000 and
work on it was begun Oct. 29, 1920.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1921.
Early Buyer Gets Coal and
Avoids Rush, Operator Says
Householders who are d-laying putting
In their winter supply of coal are mak
ing a big mistake and running the risk
of being caught by cold weather at a
time when it may difficult to get coal
delivered promptly is the opinion of E.
A. Ogle, president of the Ogls Coal Com
pany, 1202 Fletcher Savings and Trust
building.
According to Mr. Ogle year after year
the same thing happens, but the buying
public does not learn the lesson. During
the summer months the retail coal deal
ers sit almost idle in their offices, with
their yards full of coal and no customers.
Most retail coal yards have a limited ca
pacity and cannot store up sufficient
coal to withstand a sudden, heavy de
mand. Besides the overage dealer can
not afford to tie up his capital in coal
that is not going to find a purchaser for
months to come.
Then along conies a cold snap, every
one want* coal at the same time, the deal
ers are rushed duy and night to get oat
orders; their stock is depleted rapidly,
finally becoming exhausted and the rail
roads cannot haul the coal into the city
fast enough to supply the demand from
frantic dealers whose supply has run out.
All this would be avoided, at least great
ly minimised, Mr. Ogle soya, If the con
sumer would order at least a fair pro
portion of coal fo r his winter's use dur
ing the rummer and early falL This
would enable the retailer to move bl
stock and keep coal flowing Into the mar
ket with aomo degree of steadiness
“In my opinion.” Mr. Ogle says, "retail
coal prices are about as low right now
A TON IN TIME
SAVES TROUBLE
Summer Coal Purchasers
Avoid Cold Weather Rush.
During these long, hot summer days,
when about all a man thlnka about i
trying to keep cool, and through the
short, warm, rummer nights, when he is
trying to coax every possible bit of sir
through all the open windows In the
Louse, the average citizen thinks only
of winter, if he thinks about it at all,
as a very desirable condition. He for
gets about the furnace that rouat have
coal, the ashes that must be carted away
and all tbo winter Inconveniences he
should have foreseen and prepared for,
tut did not.
Then some day, s couple of months
from now, he awakens to find the mer
cury shivering around In the bottom of
the thermometer and bo coal in the coal
bin. He rushes to the telephone, calls
up his coal dealer and then has a spasm
because dozens of others Just like him
self have done exactly the tame thing
and tlie dealer cannot deliver all the coal
in the same hour, after the consumer
ha* neglected to take advantage of Ills
fine opportunity to buy early.
"Our experience has been that the fel
low who buys hie coal early Is the fel
low who profits In ths eud,” is the opin
ion of K. J. TurreU, In charge of the
anle* department of the Commercial Fuel
Company. "The wise man who order*
early get* coal delivered direct from the
car to his bln, thus eliminating having it
bandied several times. It always has
been our policy to take care of the little
consumer, who orders one ton with the
same degree of care we give the big con
sumer. Onr service la held to a 100 per
cent standard and we hold to It at all
times.”
FIRE LOSS MORE
THAN STATE TAX
Nine Million Dollars Cost of
1920 Blazes.
Indiana taxpayers pay more per capita
each year toe fire losses than they do
in State taxes.
Last year more than nine million dol
lars In Indiana property was destroyed
by fire. This is three hundred thousand
dollars more than was paid into the State
treasury In taxes.
Indiana taxpayers pay $3.26 pe r year
In State taxes per capita and $3.75 or a
difference of forty-nine cents Is paid by
the taxpayers per capita on fire losses.
Taxpayers pay this difference according
to the fire marshal's office because the cost
of insurance Is included on every product
which is produced from a manufacturer
or dealer.
“Each dealer figure* the cost, of bla In
surance la with the article manufactured,'
Chester Davis, attorney for the State fire
marshal's office said today.
“If hi* property' is destroyed by Ctc
the Insurance is paid by those who have
bought his wares.”
The exact amount of money lost by fire
last year wag $9,546,017. the amount of
taxes collected was $9,333,177.
Loss from fire has decreased approxi
mately $1,000,000 during the Crt six
months of 1921 over the same period of
time in 1920. according to Newman Miller,
State fire marshal.
“Last year more than $1,000,000 worth
of property was destroyed by fire lo*se*
as compared with slightly more than three
million dollars this year.
"The State fire marshall's office Is work
tng on the theory that an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure," Miller
anid.
Last yevr of eighty-sight fires Inves
tigated thirty-eight were found to be of
Incendiary origin. Thirty-four personr
were Indicted and twenty-one brought to
trial during the year 1920. Twenty of the
twenty one brought to trial by attorney*
for the fire marshal's office were convicted
and received sentence* ranging from onP
to fourteen years.
FlTst degree arson carries a sentence of
from two to twenty-one years, and a fine
of not exceeding twice the amount of
property destroyed. One man, a watch
man for an Indianapolis lumber company,
was convicted on a charge of arson end
the trial Judge sentenced him to prison
for twenty-one years and fined ( hlm Ihe
amount of the property destroye'd. This
amounted to about fourteen thousand
dollars and as prisoners time Is valued
at one dollar a day, his sentence of from
two to twenty one year', must be served
before the fine can sewed.

as they are liable to be. Statistics show
that during the first seven months of
1921 coal production throughout the coun
try was approximately 75,000,000 tons
short of normal production for several
years past. It Is easy to see what will
happen shoould a heavy, cold winter
come along and create a sudden demand.
A resumption of Industrial activity on
a scale approaching normal conditions
also will make this shortage of coal pro
duction a serious factor.
* “Already we know that there is a
shortage of cars for hanllng gravel,
crushed stone and other mataerials of
this character, and this at a time when
relatively little coal is being moved. The
importance of this becomes the more ap
parent when It is realized that the same
type of cars are used for hauling coal
as is used for stone and gravel. When
the time comes for railroads to handle
large quantities of coal on short notice
it may be Impossible for them to do so
with any degree of speed.
"This demand for coal Is as certain
to come as is the sun to rise. We all
remember how it hit us suddenly last
year. This year It may come later, It
may not come In as violent a form, but
It certainly will come sooner or later.
"In brief, my advice to ths coal con
sumer Is this: Coal will not be cheaper.
It may be higher; by buying now yon
probably will be able to get a better coal
at a cheaper price than you will pay
for an Inferior article later In the season.
Buy now and save money, worry and
trouble.”
BATTERY DEALER
IS BIG FACTOR
Car Owner Must Rely Upon
Integrity of Distributor.
With electric storage batteries as with
eggs and watches and home brew the ex
ternal appearance of the object baa noth
; Ing whatever to do with the contents, and
the content* are the Important thing.
; What 1* inside a storage battery, whether
eighteen months or more of long, hard,
satisfactory wear or a few brief weeki
i of use can be told only by experience, and
the experience of many motorists along
[these lines has been so bitter as to make
[them believe that all storage batteries
; a** nothing but gambles, that you may
gut a good one once in a long time, but
.that yon are more likely to get "stung.”
j The ease with which a poor storage
; battery can be dressed up in a nifty
| box, and all dolled up with a pretty coat
of paint, has been the cause of a large
number of Inferior batteries being placed
on — Ll l * open market, and about the only
protection an owner has Is to buy from
a firm In' which h. has the utmost con
fidence, men who have been engaged In
the electrical business for a siitficlent
length of time to make them familiar
with all kinds and conditions of batteries
and who have the Interests of the cus
tomer* at heart.
It Is the object of Huggins & Ran
dall, 302 North Capitol avenue. Indiana
distributors for the National battery of
Minneapolis, to supply such a service,
itoth Mr. Hugging and Mr. Randal! have
j been In the storage battery busines* in
Indianapolis for many year* and they
are (horoughly familiar with every angle
i of Jt.
"W* are backed by a big, strong,
sound, reliable company, which has main
tained a policy of steadfast, old-fashioned
honesty In bnslnes* as It shown by the
product,” ou* of the partner* said. "To
s large majority of owner* the battery
of bis car la big, deep, uusolvable mys
terr and be must rely on a dealer In
whom he ha* confidence. The National
battery la backed by a strong eighteen
month guarantee, to which Is added the
long experience of our firm and the fact
that we employ only expert battery men
; Id our service department."
HIT RECORD IN
ROAD BUILDING
Build One-Fourth Mile in
Single Day.
Records for laying concrete pavement
| for the State highway department were
shattered recently, when a crew working
! on Federal aid project No. 17, a twelve
mile stretch between Schererville to the
! east corporate line of Lake County on
the way to Valparaiso, built nearly t
quarter of a mile of road in a single
day. Lawrence Lyons, director announed
today. This contract Is held by the Fed
eral Paving Companay, Chicago.
By actual measurement the pavement
laid was 1.239 lineal feet or 2,478 square
yards, as the.road Is eighteen feet wide.
Two outfits were pressed into service, a
central mixing plant and a central pro
portioning plant. The previous maxi
mum of pavement laid In a single day
by one outfit Is 607 lineal feet, depart
ment officials *ay. They believe the new
record will Ring stand as an unusual
feat in road construction In Indiana.
LEOSAYS WOMEN
GET THE MEDALS
' CHICAGO. Aug. 22.—A1l the laurels for
faithful, lasting love were handed to the
women today by Leo Dltrlchsteln, the
"great lover” Os the American stage. The
only limit to the love affairs of a man
i* the number of women In the world—
but a woman tastes of love only once In
he rllfd, according to the specialist In
feminine affections.
"Man is a polygamous animal by na
ture," Dltrlchsteln said. "He will love
one woman and go away to love others.
Women are different.
“I have known many women to live un
married all their lives simply because
(hey could not marry the man they loved.
But I have never known a man to do
that.”
Real love Is all the dlcltonary says it
is—plus complete mental comradeship,
Ditrichstein believes. The actor, how
ever, does not draw his conclusions from
his own life. Mrs. Dltrlchsteln is his
hobby. He ulways tours with her.

BLOWER SYSTEMS
BECOME POPULAR
Fans Play Important Part In
Modern Industry.
Blower system* and fans, only a few
years ago considered a fad or luxury by
conservative manufacturing concerns, are
now an integral part of almost every
large industrial company and the factory
that Is not equipped with one or mors
of these Is the exception and not the
rule today. An Interesting feature of
this phase of modern business Is that
year by year new uses are found for
fans, uses requiring new types and new
models.
At th offices of the Indianapolis Kan
Company, 32-40 Bast South street, may
be found fans of all sizes and descrip
tion*, ranging from the big metal housed
blower or exhauster used In large build
ings and rooms to the little disc lan.
Os course one of the moat common and
obvious uses to which a fan can ba put
Is for ventillatlon purposes, to remove,
foul, warm, overly-used air and replace
it with clean fresh air from the outside.
Office buildings, restuarant and hotel
kitchens, laundries, etc., have found fans
almost essential to the conduct of
business.
But this is not ths only use to which
fans are Jut by a wide margin. Factories
make use of them to collect dust and
lint and to free the air from dangerous
and explosive vapors. Mines use them
to supply fresh air to miners working
many feet below the surface of the
earth, and to keep the shafts free from
deadly gas. No modern woodworking
plant Is complste without a fan system
i leading to every planer, wood finishing
machine or cutter. These fans remove
dust and shavings, and collect them In
piles or bins. Systems of this kind inay
b* found In almost any furniture fac
tory, planing mill or woodworking plant.
The Increased efficiency of plants so
I equipped Is said to more than pay for
j the cost of Installation and mainte
i nance within a Tery short period of time.
| In the reduction of fire hazard alone the
! saving Is a marked one.
j One of the newest uses to which ex
| haust systems have been adapted 1* in
varnish room* to remove the vapor and
i spray resulting from the use of modern
j Tarnish spraying devices. Were it not
for the fan* in use a room where several
sprayers were in continuous rse would
become untenable in a very snort time.
So great Is the demand for fans from
all parts of the world that the Indiana
j Kan Company has made shipment* during
I the thirty years of It* existence, not
j only to all points In this country but to
; Australia and even to Russia.

pany and IL D. Hamilton, secretary and

GROWTH OF CITY
AIDED BY CARS
Street Railways Big Factor in
Municipal Expansion.
Operation of 300 street cars over 103
j miles of track every day In the year re
gardless of weather conditions is a far
larger task tiban most people imagine. To
accomplish this In Indianapolis means
that ths Indianapolis Street Railway
Company must employ a force of about
1,300 men and that schedules must bo
worked out scientifically and carefully to
avoid confusion, delays and Imperfect
transportation.
"We think we have done remarkably
well to keep the service to point where
It Is today," an official of ths street
car company said recently. "Cond'tlons
h*ve been so adverse that It has been
; impossible for us to make the progress
i required by the growth of the city and
that we had hoped to make when the
company was reorganized two years ago.
At that time It nas onr plan to build up
n strong company to serve the public and
afford good transportation at the low
est possible cost. This plan was given
a severe setback by o runaway coal mar
ket in 1920 and by what w* consider un
fair Jitney competition on some of our
line*.
"With a change towkrd better economic
condition* and the abolition of unfair
competition we hope to be able, on a low
rate of far*, to begin rehabilitating the
system as we had hoped to do at an
earlier period.
"A city and It* street ear system are
linked together very closely and Just
what It mean* to be without street car
service Is only fully understood by such
cities as lies Moines, lowa, where the
company was forced to suspend, la fact
the growth of a city is to a great de
gree dependent upon the effectiveness of
its street car system.”

With Its greatly expanded membership

service and to demonstrate a broader
hospitality than ever before, according
to the worker* who are conducting the
camp’s membership campaign at the
booth, Pennsylvania and Market streets.
Newton J. McGuire, of the camp, is head
of the housing committee for the G. A.
R. encampment preparations, and Is
calling on Son* of Veterans to assist,
the committee in providing rooms for the
large army of visitors which will be In
Indianapolis the week of Sept. 25.
The G. A. R. folk come first, -but. the
Son* of Veterans and other allied
patriotic orders also are to gather in In
dianapolis the same week for their na
tional meeting*. The housing commit
tee'* task is an enormous on*. Good
progress is being made, according to re
ports, and it is expected that Ben Har
rison camp, which is to be the "largest
camp on earth” before Sept. 25, will be
a large factor In solving the housing
problem for the great encampment week.
