SUPREMACY IN STEEL HOPE OF CALUMET AREA Plant Expansion Expected to Dislodge Pittsburgh From First Place. $100,000,000 FOR WORK Project Hailed as Largest in History of Indiana Mill Center. Ry Tim ft Sprrinl GARY. Ind . July 9.—The Calumet district in northern Indiana is in the throes of a bull market. Everyone in the manufacturing cities of Gary. Hammond and East Chicago, from bank president to ditch digger, is predicting the early arrival of the day when the Calumet district will wrench the prestige of the greatest steel producing center of the world from Pittsburgh. For the past two or three years the Calumet district has claimed an equal position in the steel world with the Pennsylvania center, but tills was largely based on civic pride statistics supplied by the chamber of commerce and the booster clubs. Announcement by the United States Steel Corporation that it would expand production in the Calumet mills 19 per cent has caused the new bull market on the district. While the expansion brought customary cheers from the boosters at ti\e time, its true significance is just being appreciated. The cost, of the expansion will be in the neighborhood of $100,000,000 with some steel experts estimating it at closer to $150,000,000. Gary, however. is already thinking in big figures. The Gary’ Post-Tribune nonchalantly remarks: “Regardless of whether these estimates are a few millions above or below the ultimate cost, the extent of the program readily classifies it as the largest steel construction program ever undertaken in this territory." Last year the mills in the Gary district produced 8.500.000 tons of steel. The increase in production facilities will bring this figure to 10.000.000 tons or 18 per cent of the total national production. Officials of the steel corporation have not yet announced where the proposed expansion will be put into effect. They have expensive holdings both in Gary and in Soutn Chicago. Production in the district has increased about 25 per cent in the past five year.'. Four independent I companies have recently completed | expansion of their Calumet plants. These include Inland Steel Company. Interstate iron and Steel Company. Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and Wisconsin Steel Company.

And while deputy sheriffs attached the educated canine and lodge him in city prison. Howard sought Captain E. B.

Howard exclaimed: ‘lf Kimberlin thinks the dog's so valuable, he ran have it for >l.ooo.'' Last Saturday Snowflake leaped from a baggage car of a train on which he was en route to Philadelphia. Because he was trained to believe that a woman's “No” means “Yes." the dog made his home with the Kimberlin family during the two days that Howard and city detectives chased dark pooches through Indianapolis. On the stage Snowflake has been taught to disobey all commands, Howard says. Thus, when Mrs. Kimberlin. awed by the size of the Newfoundland husky, ordered him away, he settled back on his vagabound haunches in the grocery doorway, too lazy even to resent insults of customers who tripped over him

Howard fingered s yellow stub, recording the checking ’of Snowflake on the baggage car. forgot his vow to give "five grand” for the pet's return, and hinted that responsibility for the canine rested with the railway. But the railroad representative pointed out that their $25 insurance on baggage was not paid when the baggage was recovered. “Five thousand or no Snowflake." Kimberlin said. "Work fast. Tomorrow is sausage day." Howard's claim that he did not offer the reward today amazed police officers and newspaper men before whom the actor posted it Monday. "Why. $250 would bring him back." said a police captain. "Or SI,OOO would do it surely." a sergeant exclaimed. "I'll leave it at $5,000." declared Howard.

Cheep , Cheep! Tar and Feathers Threatened for Mate in Triangle While He Is Lost.

THEY'VE found Petey. And Pete's sore. He's sore for two reasons: < First, because he got lost without a reward being offered for him. Second, because while he was gone someone wrecked his happy home and stole his mate, Viola. Pete and Viola were the two love-birds at Ayres’ pet shop.

Yacht and Open Boat Will Compete Over Famous River Course, BY F. O. BAILEY •Cnited Press Staff Correspondent MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 9.—The greatest river race since the epic contest between the Robert, E. Lee and the Natchez in 1870, in which the former established the record of 90 hours and 31 minutes from New Orleans to St. Louis, will be held next week. Dr. Louis Leroy of Memphis has docked his now famous “Bogie” at the foot of Canal street, New Orleans. and a mile down the river Colonel George M. Cox, New Orleans, holds his expensive yacht, Martha Jane, in readiness for another race over the same course. W. K. (Old Man! Henderson of Radio Station KWKH fame, is putting the finishing touches to a special radio broadcasting set aboard the Martha Jane through which he intends to tell “the little old world’’ about the race first hand. Challenged to Race Plans for the race were completed at a meeting between Colonel Cox and Dr. Leroy here early in June. “I hear you are going to try again this summer to beat the record of the Robert E. Lee,” Colonel Cox remarked. Dr. Leroy has tried and failed four times. “ ‘Try’ is the right word Colonel,” Dr. Leroy replied. "The Bogie and I are going to do it this time.” “I have a pretty good boat myself.” Colonel Cox said. “What say we race for it!” “You’re on.” Dr. Leroy replied. Wager a 'Billion’ A wager of 5 cents in cash and a “billion dollars in honor” was made. The two sportsmen put up their nickels and shook hands. Colonel Cox returned to New Orleans to put his boat, reputed to have cost SIOO,OOO, in condition for the race. Dr. Leroy, a prominent surgeon, spent what time he could get away from his hospital putting the final touches to the Bogie. The Martha Jane will carry a crew of twelve, and the Bogie three. The former is fitted luxuriously; the latter is an open speed boat. The Bogie was considerably battered in its four previous attempts to cover the treacherous 1.200-mile winding river course in less than ninety hours. Cheated Near Goa! Last year Dr. Leroy had almost reached St. Louis several hours ahead of time when driftwood put his boat out of commission less than 100 miles short of his goal. The race had created almost as much interest as the famous Robert E. Lee-Natchez contest did fiftynine years ago. Then thousands of people gathered from far inland to line the river banks as the two large river steamers churned past.

LIGHTS URGED TO GUIDE FLIERS City, Factories Asked to Aid Night Planes, With local airports lighted for night flying. Indianapolis aviators today planned a campaign to induce city, state and factory officials to place obstacle lights on tall smoke stack and similar obstructions to prevent airplane accidents. Officials of two factories in the vicinity of the Mars Hill airport already have agreed to place lights atop stacks, it was reported. Lights are need on smokestacks more than seventy-five feet tall, paricularly those on the outskirts of the city, according to Charles Devoe. local T. A. T. manager. “Embry-Riddle mail planes now land at Mars Hill field each night and in thick weather the pilots’ lives are endangered by these tall obstructions,” Devoe said. “In addition.,planes from other cities will land at the airports at night even more frequently in the future, with well-lighted ports.” Devoe cited the case of a mail plane which crashed into a radio tower at Columbus, 0.. recently. This could have been avoided if the tower had been lighted. Tall buildings, towers and smoke stacks could be lighted at a comparatively small expense, according to H. Weir Cook, Curtiss Flying j Service of Indiana, general manager. A light bulb inclosed in a red globe would be all that would be necessary. RAIN RESPITE NEAR Cooler Weather Forecast; Showers in South, Respite from rainy weather that has delayed harvesting and plowing to the injury of wheat and corn crops was promised by today's weather forecast. “Generally fair tonight and Wednesday; somewhat cooler to- ■ night,” was the forecast for Indianapolis and vicinity while for the state, the forecast read: “Generally fair tonight and Wednesday; preceded by thundershowers extreme south portion this afternoon or tonight: coder tonight.” Twelve hundredths of an inch of rainfall here Monday night pushed the July total To 3.69 inches.

prohibition is ATTACKED BY MEDICO CHIEF Restrictions on Drink. Food., Dress and Religion Are Blasted by Thayer, OWN ENDS DEFEATED Physicians See Great Array of Exhibits Used to War on Disease, Bu Unite d /’> t •-,<? PORTLAND. Ore.. July 9.—Law® “restricting eating, drinking, dress and religions" were denounced by Dr. William S. Thayer. Baltimore, retiring president, of the American Medical Association, in the farewell address he delivered before 10.000 physicians and surgeons, gathered here for the organization's annual meeting. “Such prohibitions," Dr. Thayer declared, “can not be enforced. They only defeat their own ends. Americans, in time of peace, insist upon local and individual liberties. They never will endure tyranny." “When, in a country like ours, the national government, attempts to legislate for the whole country as to what its citizens may or may not eat or drink. as to how we may dress, as to our religious beliefs, or as to what we may or may not read, it interferes with those rights sacred to every English-speaking person. There is no longer a republican form of government. It is tyranny." The United States, he said, has 'set a rather sorry example in tha matter of inconsiderate, ill-consid-erate and in tolerate persecutions and prohibitions." “These,” he asserted, “may be met properly in certain localities when they represent the desire of the majority, but when applied to the j country at large, they interfere with the personal liberties of the people." The practice of medicine by corporations and clinics, other than those controlled by doctors themselves. has become a paramount issue before the convention.

Dr. Louis E. Schmidt of Chicago is here attempting, apparently unsuccessfully. to tiave the convention hear his appeal from discharge from the Chicago Medical Society. Dr. Schmidt was head of a public health institute which advertised widely in Chicago papers. A resolution condemning the practice of medicine by agencies other than doctors was under consideration by the committee on resolutions. Dr. Thayer delivered the association’s “Big Bertha” against medical advertising of all classes, saying that “of each 1.000 medical advertisements, 999 are misleading.” Medical Advances Shown BY WATSON DAMS. Managing Editor, Scifne Srrriee. PORTLAND. Ore.. July 9.—Medicine's advances during the last year are por:rayed graphically in exhibits before the American Medical Association's annual meeting here. The conquest of anemia, by feeding liver extracts, new ways of feeding babies, additional hopeful reports of hitherto hopeless paresis being subdued by malarial fever, a newer. spe c nier way of diagnosing cancer—these and many other achievements are shown. Hydrogen sulphide, familiar the practical joker of school chemistry classes as the gas with the rotten egg odor, is causing joncern and developing into a menace to life, due to the greatly increased production of high sulphur crude petroleum.

Deaths Are Caused When the sulphur is taken out of the crude oil it sometimes is allowed to escape as hydrogen sulphide, which is poisonous, in addition t oits bad smell. Deaths have been caused in this way and the United States bureau of mines, in its exhibit, is warning physicians of this new danger to human life. Babies do not get enough vitamin B. Dr. Roaer H Dennett of the Next York post-graduate medical school and hospital has found. Wheat germ sugar added to the usual Infant diet supplies this lack. When ’he unruly growths or diseased organs ar" removed surgically from the body surgeons always are desirous of known;? whether they show cancerous traits likely to' spread to other parts of the body. So Dr. Beniamin T. Terry of Rochester. Minn., has developed a special microscope 1 examination for speedy determination of malignancy, v hich he is teaching to physicians at the meeting. Ea’ing liver has been proved to be an effective way of renewing the red blood cells depleted by anemia and several commercial laboratories are employing concentrated liver extract so that patients will not be forced to eat large quantities of liver for their health's sake.Fond fanned for Rahr Sieved baby food, already canned and prepared, to save mother the trouble, and orange juice, bottled wffhour preservatives, artificial color or dilution, are other new food preparations shown. For the physician who wishes to travel light, but prepared, there is an emergency hypodermic kit no larger than a fountain pen. The progressive surgeon now can hava chromium finished instruments. And a recent drug useful in treating colds because it. dries up the ncseand throat is ephedrine. For the remedy of erysipelas there has been devised an antitoxin that is commercially available. Such are a few of the new tools and materials given the practicing physician by co-operating col- j leagues, and aids. _ m
