Famous Venetian night on Macatawa bay is set this year for July 30, and great preparations are under way to make this gorgeous water spectacle surpass all previous attractions.

At the close of the review a signal will be given from Old Bald Head, the big sand hill at Macatawa and the splendid display of fireworks will begin.

The Rounder Says

The police started out with shotguns on their shoulders to get a littre dog meat for bredkfast. "I suppose you have them go in pairs so that one man can will the dog while the other stands off the crows." said the police station wag. "I'll tell you why we have them go in pairs," said Captain Atistgen, "Several years ago Frank Shine went out to kill dogs. At that time we made it a practice to go early in the morning so that there would be less danger of hurting the innocent bystander." 'Shine came across a little dog and soon sent it to the happy hunting ground. The dog belonged to John Powell, the milkman, and do you know Shine swears that Powell got his muz zle and put it on the dead dog and then after calling several witnesses to see the animal, sued the city for $20 damages." "The result was that Shine was fined one cent ond costs and the city had to pay for it. I reallp believe Powell would have taken the case up to the supreme court if there had been enough money in it. Ever sine? we have been wise and we now take antemortem statements from every dog we kill."

A rase of pliyl-nl and moral regeneration of which it does ones heart good to hear, came to the notice of the frequenters of the police station this morning when Mick Rrcher walked into the station and paid a fine which had been assessed against him for drunkenness months ago. Archer was not an ordinary drunk. He was considered one of the best train dispatchers in Hammond. He worked for the Wabash railroad for a number of years and then was a train dispatcher for the Indiana Harbor railroad until his heavy drinking made him unreliable.

rled a Chicago banker and the family are all people of worth and position. But when Archer got to drinking he soon found that "booze" was the master of him. He went from bad to worse until finally he was taken to the police station a physical and almost a mental wreck. The unfortunate man was fined and sent to the county jail. In eleven days he was released and his employer thought enough of him to send him to a hosp,-al in Chicago where it was thought he could be - kept until his physical condition improved. But Archer was still a ""booze" fiend and he soon left the hospital and came back to Hammond. In a short time he was picked up by the1 officers again and was put in jail here. It is said that his condition was about as bad as could be imagined. He had lost all his self respect and did not seem to care what became of him. His friends were ashamed of him and he was fast becoming an outcast. Again he was fined for drunkenness, but this time he put up an expensive overcoat as security for his fine and went out to see if he could not raise the money. That was the last the police saw of him for months. He left the city April 17 and had not been seen in Hammond until today when he came into the police station and claimed his overcoat. The story he tells is remarkable. After leaving Hammond he secured some money from his friends and with It went voluntarily to a Chicago hospital where he has been under the care of the nurses and physicians ever since. They refused him the liquor he craved and finally his physical condition improved. They did not let him go until he was physically all '.that he was before he began drinking. His nervous system had been practically wrecked, but under treatment he was finally restored to normal. With a return of health he began to see the depths from which he had been lifted. lie saw the hopelessness of his condition, when under the influence of liquor, and he determined never to take another drink. Had he been th3 physical and mental weakling that he was when he was last in Hammond he never would have been able to withstand the temptation. But the regenerated Archer was a different man and he had the will power to stick to his pledge. He is back in Hammond to redeem himself in the oyes of his employers and his friends and to show just how much good there is in the world, they are receiving him I with open arms. BANK IS VERY PE0UD OF ITS RECORD. Citizen German National Bank HoIiIn n Unique Position In Thin Locality. In another column of The Times will be found the quarterly statement of the Citizen German Natipnal ' bank. Ham mond's youngest and one of its most progressive banking institutions. 'The directors of the bank are pointing with pride' to a fact which is not generally known and that is that the bank was the only financial institution in Hammond to never refuse to pay a depostior's check for any amount during the recent flurry when banks were com pelled to draw the line very closely to protect their depositors. SOME WARM WEATHER SALADS. "One of the prettiest of the luncheon or supper salads is made by cutting the top from a green pepper, removing the seeds with a knife or a stick they burn the skin if touched with the fingers and tilling the basket thus made with chicken or lobster salad," says Christine Terhume Herrick In the August Wom an's Home Companion. "Each pepper may be placed on a lettuce leaf and crowned with a spoonful of mayonnaise Another salad is prepared by hollow ing a tomato and rilling it with dice of cucumber, or peeling a cucumber. cutting it in half lengtn wise, scooping out the inside, and replacing this with dice of tomatoes. Serve either tomato or cucumber on a lettuce leaf and gar nlsh with cucumber ribbons. These are made by shaving the peel from the outside of a cucumber and then slicing this. Take a slice it should be rather thick and with a sharp knife cut this in a spiral, as you would part an apple. The shaving must be very thin, as it is not long before the seedy center is reached, and only the flesh of the cucumber will serve for the ribbons. Sucumber boats tilled with shrimps are a satisfactory dish for a cold supper. Mayonnaise is served with this, or a good boiled dressing. The cucumbers halved and filled with other sliced or diced cucuni'ier. served on lettuce, garnished with cucumber ribbons and with strips of the scarlet sweet pepper cut very thin, make a good dish."

One hundred years ago the diameter f the sun was four miles greater than it is now. One thousand years ago the sun's diameter was 40 miles greater than it is at present. Ten thousand years ago its diameter was 400 miles greater than it is to-day. The present diameter of the sun is 860,000 miles, and if this diameter were to shrink to-morrow to the extent of 10,000 miles the change would not be appreciable to common observation, though a much smaller change would not elude the delicate astronomical measurement.
