CALUMET AREA GIVEN BOOSTS IN ADDRESSES |l. U. Professor Foresees Unlimited Growth for District. By Clyde G. Byers Times Staff Corresvondent HAMMOND, Ind., Feb. 22.—Addressing the Hammond Chamber of Comerce, Judge Thomas W. Slick of Federal Court declared: “You can make more money accidently here in the Calumet region than you can on purpose down in Florida.” That is Lake County’s doctrine. Florida has made no noticeable inroads on the population here. Lake County’s “boom” is Just as attractive to northern Indiana and Chicago capital. Prof. Lionel D. Edie. Indiana University business research bureau director, foresees unlimited growth for the district. Describing the “net of steel” woven by the railroads among the factories, mills and homes, Dr. Edie said the region is “two and onehalf times as well-equipped as the average area.” This concentration of rail facilities forecasts the passage of the Nation’s east and west freight through the Calumet region, Edie declared. “The world's greatest city is growing this side of the State line,” Dr. J. Faule Goode, University of Chicago industrial research expert, declared here in an address. Optimism is so contagious that newspapers and real estate agents credited his address alone with boosting real estate values slightly. Operator P. C. Primus of the Indiana Hotel asserted that the sale of 750 acres in Hammond to the Roxana Petroleum Company as a site for a $35,000,000 refinery boomed the value of his hotel property $25,000 in one day. He said real estate value has leaped upward tremendously since he came to the city. A fifty-foot-frbnt business site on Hohman St., which he said he could have purchased for $23,000 five years ago, is priced at $75,000. and he expects the owners to raise the price any day. Get Indianapolis Capital Dr. A. W. Lloyd is holding an unimproved fifty-foot-front site on Hohman St., for $3,500 a front foot, according to Frank R. Martin, of the Hammond Trust and savings Bank, Hammond real estate board president. Martin said within the last three weeks a huge amount of Indianapolis capital has been invested in Calumet region property. Calumet City, 111., economically is a part of Hammond though it is in Cook County, Illinois. It has 12,000 citizens patronizing Hammond stores. Being near Chicago, the region is at the door of an inexhaustable labor supply. The industrial region, also, is the focal point c* 645 miles of Lake County roads.

Washington St. Butler was brought to jail from the city hospital, where he had been while recovering from the bullet wound. “Say man, you don’t know what you're doing when you get a load of that liquor In you.” Butler said telling of his escapades. “I stole the liquor from a bootlegger on the east side and now look at the jam that its got me Into. “The funniest thing that happened to me while the police were looking for me was when a traffic cop told me how he was going to catch me and there I was but he didn’t know It,” Butler said, laughing. “Gee, but that was such a goodlooking ‘job’ that I could not resist stealing it,” Butler said, telling of how he stole the auto that led to his arrest. "Well, I guess I’m lucky at that, because just a week before I was arrested a cop shot at me several times when he rcognized me at Noble and Lockerbie Sts., while I was driving a truck.” Butler had been working In the city for an express company and had been using the name of Leo Butler, police said. “Believe me, when I get out of this trouble I'm going to lay off of liquor and be the straightest guy you ever saw," Butler said, as he left to eat dinner with the other prisoners, CHURCH RALLY FOR MISSIONS Eight Reformed Churches in Meeting.

SENATOR URGES PUBLIC RETAIN MUSCLESHOALS Representative of Huge Combine Will Bid for Power Plant. Times rVoshlnoton Bureau. 1322 .Veto York Arenne. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Introducing Thomas W. Martin, power king of the South. Any one wno hankers to clean up a private fortune with the $150,000,000 Government-owned power plant at Musclo Shoals, Ala., has him to outbid. Martin has Informed the civilian Muscle Shoals commission that he stands prepared to bid for a lease on the project whenever Congress is ready to talk real business. He will enter negotiations backed by one of the three largest power combines In America, the Southeastern Light and Power Company. Martin is president. The Southeastern Company owns the Georgia Railway and Power Company and the Alabama Power Company. Its holdings stretch Into Florida and Mississippi. According to authenticated report the combine plans eventually to take over the Southern Power and the Tennessee Power companies. It will then control electric power i.i North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and parts of Florida and Mississippi. And that Is only part of the story of how power control In America Is rapidly falling Into the hands of one small group of men. Senator Norris of Nebraska, on the Senate floor, Dec. 17, 1924, declared, “Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, when we trace down owners of power companie*s, we find we have reached the General Electric Co.’’ Norris cited that various officials of the Alabama Power Company then bidding on Muscle Shoals, were directors in the Electric Bond and Share Company. Norris asserted the latter company was owned by the General Electric Company. Thirteen days after Norris’ exposure, the General Electric Company sold its entire interest in the company. The Senate, on Feb. 9. 1925, ordered the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the extent of the O. E. monopolization in the power field. A year has passed and the commission is still Investigating, with little hope of the Senate receiving any information before it must again consider the fate of Muscle Shoals. Says Senator Norris: “The only way for the people of America to protect themselves Is to retain control of Muscle Shoals and operate it themselves.’’ PROWLER GETS AWAY Police today were searching for the Negro who escaped after being fired upon twice by Patrolman Paxton early Sunday when the officer found the man prowling about the Methodist Hospital nurses' home, 1600 N. Capitol Ave. Patrolman Paxton said he called to the man to stop and when the man ran he fired. He said the man fell as thoftgh struck, but quickly regained his footing, leaped Into an auto and fled.

Penknife Kept Washington - in Fight Gift From Mother, Not Hatchet, Showed Real Man.
- OT the famous hatchet of \ George Washington, but a dainty, white-handled penknife, among the Washington relics In a Virginia Masonic lodge, reveals better his character. So says Dr. Paul F. Bloomhardt, professor of biography at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio. Washington’s father gave the hatchet, as even school children remember, and George struck down a choice cherry tree In the orchard. Later he confessed. But the penknife was given to him by his mother. She was so pleased with the lad’s behavior that she gave him the bit of fine cutlery, cautioning the young man always to obey his superiors. Carried as Talisman This knife he carried as a talisman. At the lowest ebb of the Revolution with Congress falling to provide even food for his half-clothed men at Valley Forge, Washington once wrote out his resignation. He struggled '.with himself. This was his greatest battle, says Dr. Bloomhardt. who studies and teaches the lives of great Americans. General Knox came into the cabin which was general headquarters at " 1 Home-made Remedy Stops Cough Qyickly Finest couch medicine you ever ued. Family supply easily made. Saves about $2.

the valley and Washington showed him the resignation. Knox was dumfounded, and did not know what to do until his eye caught the glint of the penknife on General Washington’s desk. Under Ills Hands Knox knew Its story, and without any utterance, gently pushed the keepsake under the clenched hands of General Washington. Washington flushed. Knox said: “You were always 1 to obey your superiors. No one has commanded you to cease leading this army.” Within half an hour the resignation was tossed into the log fire, and the great Washington carried on. The hatchet showed the truth-stuff of the boy; the penknife showed the stability of the man.— The knife should replace the hatchet, Dr. Bloomhardt says.
