TRACK ELEVATION BILL IMPOSSIBLE . INLAKECOUNTY Hammond (Ind.) Mayor Declares Costs Too High —Plan Changes. Track elevation and grade separation under the provisions of the Clements 50-50 bill is impossible for ! Cities of Lake County, said Mayor Adrien E. Tinkham of Hammond today. “Declaring that any modification of the present statute, which provides that the municipality bear only 25 per cent of the cost of intersection Improvement, three Lake County mayors and members of their respective *city administrations, would prevent realization of track elevation projects in their cities, prei>ared to present their united opposition to the House committee on railroads at a public hearing Tuesday. Gary Favors 65-35 Hammond's elevation plans, based on the present law would approximate an expense to the city of about $1,000,000, Robert Harrington, head of the Hammond board of public works, told The Times today. Harrington pointed out that the city’s portion of the cost under the provisions of the Clements bill would approach a $10,000,000 figure. . Gary, the home of the United States Steel Corporation, was said to be favoring a 65-35 compromise, and Mayor Floyd E. Williams of the Steel City, though staunch in his opposition to an equal division of expense between city and utility interests, intimated that he believed a 65-35 division of total cost the “nearest to a reasonable agreement” possible under the circumstances. Hammond Ready Mayor Tinkham of Hammond, Williams of Gary, Mayor Walter E. Schrage of Whiting, Mayor Ed-. Glover of Crown Point and Mayor Raleigh P. Hale of East Chicago were expected to attend the open committee hearing on the elevation measure Tuesday night, in company with Mayor Geake of Ft. Wayne and city officials of South Bend. Hammond city officials were ready with an amendment to be presented to the House Railroad Committte for consideration. The measure, according to Mayor Tinkham, would take the form of an exemption clause, providing that cities of a population of not less than 30,000 nor more than 45,000 should be allowed to carry out track elevation plans under the present 75-25 law. County Backing This amendment was to be presented by Representative Thomas Grant of Lake County, and would be submitted with the backing of the entire Lake County legislative delegation in both Houses of the Assembly. Basing population figures on the 1020 census, the amendment proposed by the Lake County city heads would exempt the cities of Hammond, East Chicago and Muncie as as well, all three cities being rated In the class specified in the provision.

ROBERT WALLACE. , Throiiph ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the office. Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt, and attracts many of his women patients. Sonia fears the Wallaces may nave heard about her affair with FRANKLIN CRANE before she was married. Sonia thinks Don is ill. because he is not looking well, and calls on Dr. Wallace for advice. She receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a restaurant later and is filled with conflicting emotions. On the night of their wedding anniversary, Elaine phones, calling Don away as they are about to go out and celebrate He returns with a gift picked out by Elaine. Later at the Wallaces’ Elaine accuses Sonia of calling her husband by phone and then denying it. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, saying he is coming to San Francisco. Sonia fears Don s love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny of Jed Thomas’ office. Sonia refuses any financial assistance from Don. Jinny tells Sonia she is in love with a married man. who proves to be Dr. Wallace. A young salesman, Stephen Scssengcr. in the office of Jed Thomas is interested in Sonia. Sonia meets Don while out walking with Stephen. The sight of him with the pained look about his eyes caused her to swoon. Don calls on her and insists on her taking a rest. Sonia was thinking of the perfect evening spent wit hstephen when he suddenly caught her violently in his arms. Don called on Sonia in an angry mood. He accused her of accep'ing attention from Dob Wallace. Sonia decides that she will not disappoint don. If that is what he thinks of her. she will play that kind of a game. She tries to act carefree, but admits to Stephen that she loves her husband. Stephen no longer interests her. She calls Don on the telephone. He offers no sympathy, so she ealls on Wallace to explain matters to him. Elaine walks in on Wallace and Sonia. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXX “Just as I thought!” she cried, angrily. "You liar! You cheat!” “Wait a moment, Elaine ..." “Don’t speak to me! I suspected this. I’ve known it was going on. for mo^hs." “Oh, have you?” Bob retorted, grimly, “Will you be quiet and listen to me?” Elaine was incapable of listening. She was actuary wringing her hands. But Sonia was not sorry for her. She was furious. When Elaine turned on her, crying, “It’s what I might have expected of YOU. I’ve heard about your affair with that real estate man ...” Sonia cried, “You shuit up!” Elaine’s eyes snapped like firq. “I’ve seen you vamping my husband. Playing up to him with those brown eyes . . .” Bob came between them, forcing Elaine to one side. Holding her as he cried, sternly, “You’re making a fool of yourself. Both of us owe Sonia an apology.” For an answer Elaine burst into hysterical tears. “Os course, you’d defend the other woman against your wife.” "I’d do nothing of the kind. But Sonia is not the other woman. You're terribly mistaken.” ’ She stopped crying long enough to gasp, “What do you mean? Hasn’t Miss Lane seen her coming to your office? And coming out crying? "Sending that friend of hers since she left her husband? Didn’t she lie to me about her telephone call?” “She did not,” Bob replied, firmly. “I was the one who lied.” “YOU? I don’t believe it.” But something in his shamed voice carried conviction. “If it isn’t Sonia,” Elaine asked, suspiciously, “Who is it?” “Need it be any one? Sonia came to consult me about Don. She was worried about him.” “Do you expect me to believe that, Bob Wallace?” “Believe it or not,” Sonia interrupted, “It’s true. I am not flirting with your husband, Elaine. Never have been.” "He stopped at your apartment. I followed him once in a taxi . . . ” “Well, he didn’t stop to see ME. Why don’t you tell her everything, Bob? I want this thing settled?" Bob groaned, “I’m sorry, Elaine, I did go to Sonia’s apartment. It’s her friend I’ve been seeing . m .” Elaine’s eyes bulged. "Her friend? You mean that girl from the real estate office?” “That’s the one,” he admitted, miserably. “But there was nothing to it, darling!" “I suppose NOT!” “Well, there wasn’t. Sonia can tell you that.” But Sonia said nothing. Elaine began to cry again.

“Oh, Bob, how can you treat me like this? I’ve been a good wife . . . I’ve always been true to you . . .” “Let me out,” cried Sonia. “I’m going.” “Wait a moment,” Bob begged. “Let’s get this all straightened up while you’re here. I have been foolish and indiscreet, Elaine. But I give you my word there’s been nothing more than that. We were both flirting. That’s all.” "ALL?” she sobbed, tragically. He tried to take her in his arms. “I’m ftprry because I’m always sorry when anything hurts you. But I swear you afe the only woman I have ever loved.” “You can’t mean that, Bob. I don’t believe you.” Sonia rose. “I absolutely refuse to listen to this any longer,” she said, firmly. “But before I go I want to tell you, Elaine, that I came here this morning to ask Bob to tell the truth to my husband. Don confessed to me that you had roused his suspicions about Bob and me. And you may as well know that you have caused me weeks of suffering." “I?” Elaine asked, coldly. “Yes, you! I left my home because of Don’s unhappiness, never dreaming that he suspected me!” There were no tears in her eyes. She felt cruelly cold. As if all the fires in the world never could warm her. Because it suddenly occurred to her that she could not endure repeating this scene before Don. She would have to go away and let matters adjust themselves. Elaine’s accusations had sickened her. But Bob persisted, “Don’t go, Sonia. I’ll call Don.” ’’Don’t,” she said, wearily. “I’ve had all I can stand. If you will explain it to him privately I will appreciate it.” “Didn’t I promise you I would?” he asked, reproachfully. "Yes!” She was wondering if .in her absence Elaine might not be able to change his mind. Bob took his wife's hand. “See here, Elaine, we really owe Sonia an apology.” “Never mind about that.” “I'm not so sure that I do,” Elaine surprised them both by stating, “If you’ll take me to this girl and she admits that she is the one; f . “Well, I shan’t do it. What do you think I am?” “All right, then I won't believe you. Why should I be the goat in this business? Why should all of you make a fool out of me? If you were only flirting and It didn’t mean anything you’d be willing to take me to her and admit It.” An unmistakable “snaky” gleam was in her eyes. “Bob, you won’t do that?” begged Sonia. “Oh, you’re afraid, are you?” “Not in the least. I’ve told you that Bob is nothing to me. But Jinny is my friend. And I won’t stand for you insulting her.” “What about the insult to me, Bob’s wife?” "I’ve nothing to do with that." Bob was standing by the window with his hand over his eyes. H{s handsome face was pale. Elaine added, “Yet we were supposed to be friends too.” “A poor frieridship,” Sonia retorted. “If ours was a friendship I prefer out and out enmity.” Bob sighed, .“Don’t say that, Sonia. There’s no use for you two girls to quarrel.” As Sonia opened the door, he repeated, helplessly, “Darling, won’t you believe in me?” "Not unless you do as I say.” “But, Elaine, I can’t do that.” Sonia hurried past Miss Lane.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

-By Williams

That woman was swollen witli curiosity like the mythical frog. The door to TVin’s office was closed. Sonia glanced at it and went quickly away. She had no idea what results the day would bring. But she was without much confidence in Bob. If Elaine refused to permit him to tell Don the truth it was a mere toss up as to which would win. His desire to stand well with his friends or the necessity for making peace with his wife! She realized, too, that Elaine might carry out her threat of forcing Bob to denounce Jinny. Seeing the other girl cringe was the sort of satisfaction Elaine would crave. The only balm which would heal her wounded self-esteem! She must have known before this that Bob flirted. It was evidently not the first time. But in any event his affair with Jinny wa sended. He would be too wise to attempt to see her again. With a pang of sympathy for her friend Sonia thought that he would probably be relieved. Glad of an excuse to seek new pastures. The picture of devotion to Elaine for awhile! Yet he had not lied when he said lie loved her. She was undoubtedly the only woman in his life that he did love. Turning in at the real estate office, Sonia sighed. Men were peculiar! Particularly husbands! (To Be Continued) APPERSON PLANT SOLD New Factory With 5450,000 a Year Fay Roll for Kokomo.
