Next Friday afternoon Catholic high will play C. C. H. S. here and on next Saturday the Yellow Jackets will journey to Marion for their second encounter. King Football is coming into his own. We believe that the Catholic high school ought to select a good nick name for the athletic teams representing that institution. It takes to much time to write the whole name out and we have noticed at all of their games that it is very difficult to put the name in yells. Think it over. If you must knock, get a hammer and do it in the regulation manner. Your tongue was meant for another purpose. Practically all high schools are opening their schedule today and next Saturday most of the colleges will swing Into action. Cathoic high has booked some good teams this fall. Two games with C. C. H. S. of Fort Wayne, one with C. C. H. S. of Toledo, one with Cathedral high of Indianapolis, one with Paulding, Ohio, and likely one with Hammond which is not half bad. Toledo and C. C. H. S. of Fort Wayne will perform here.

Phelan had but eleven days from the opening of practice Monday night to get | his team into shape for the opening I game here with Wabash Sept. 27. The coach has utilized every minute and as a result the opening contest should find the boilermakers in good condition considering their short period of preparation.

Speed will be an essential factor in the success of the team this year as there are but few heavyweights on the squad. Claypool, captain, is being given a tussle for center by Threllfall. A quartet of sophomore guards are staging a merry fight for the first string jobs.

The players are large and rangy and are making splendid progress in the game under the coaching of France Confer.

Many delapidated houses with dirt piled on the floor, roofs half gone and just ready to cave in have been found in the state by the housing division of the state board of health since the beginning of its operation three years ago, A. L. Wert, director declared today. Many places like this have been found occupied with large families living in silt and squalor. “It is not hard to find people ‘housed’ in shacks, renovated stables, basement. garrets, improvised tenement and apartment houses, with a great deal of this property in such of state of delapidation. and bad repair, including dark inside rooms, lack of light, ventilation, toilet and water facilities as to be totally unfit for habitation and in some cases beyond repair and positively dangerous to I TRY DAWSON’S VIUNA TONIC | For Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Blood, It Rheumatism. g Price SI.OO Per Bottle Callow & Kohne I

Ute as well as heal," Wert declared i But under the Indiana housing laws I which were enacted by the 1920 legislature, the director said our cities and towns are gradually eliminating the buildings ana houses that have out lived their usefullness, and that are! retarding the best opportunities for proper home making, he said. The localities in the state where housing conditions are worst are In Jackson Park, at Anderson. Taylorville, near Terre Haute, and in Gary, Hammond, Whiting and East ( hicago. But every community in the state has a percentage of bad housing, Wert stated, and Indiana has Its fall owners who would never improve the living condition of their tenants except under compulsion of the law. The tenants also are just as unsym-| pathetic, in most cases, to improve-1 ment as are the owners, he asserted, because improvement means higher rent. The Calumet district still has some old shacks that were hastily improvised when the district was first popu-lated-old building workers cantonnments and the like occupied by sometimes as many as eight or ten families. These, however, are being torn down or remodeled. No. 289 BANK STATEMENT E. W. BUSCHE, President. C. C. SCHUG, Vice-president. W. S. SMITH. Cashier. W. L. KELLER, Asst. Cashier.
