The lemon dinners may be all . right.

But we have all our fears That another may be In order In the brief space of two years.

The starting in of the work on the

Borman boulevard macadam road will, of course, give a few of the Idle ones

some work.

Of course, there is room for the Illinois Steel company mills at Gary if

they care to come, but they will have to get awful busy or all the land will

be gobbled up.

When finished Gary will have as fine a number of speedways as can be found

anywhere. "What's the matter with pulling off a few automobile races here? There is no possible need of arrest

ing the foreigners for building shacks if they can't be fined under the building ordinance.

Of course, by this time the majority

of the property owners have selected the kind of shade trees they intend

to plant this spring.

Manager George O'Donnell seems to

be Just as much at ease in banqueting 100 as he does handing out a free

lunch to a tramp at the back door.

And by the way the boosting spirit

of Gary was the incentive that landed the next annual convention of the

master plumbers of Indiana at Gary.

The management of the new Majestic

theater are putting on the polish pre

paratory to the opening night on next

Monday.

In a short time it will be very much

the style to say: "We attended a box

party last evening."

Up to the time of going to press

there has been no wholesale slaughter ; of wild ducks about Garv.

MAGNATES DENY BRICK 'TEUST.' Demand Meld Responsible tor High rrtee of Building II lock. "There Is no combine among the brick companies. The idea is really too absurd. The high price of brick is due not to artificial manipulation, but to the natural law of supply and demand." The building in the Calumet region may be effected by this. This is what the brick magnates nf

Chicago had to say yesterday when confronted with the charge that bricks have gone up from 14.50 to $6.50 a thousand because the companies have "got together," and are engaged in the pleasant occupation of making the public dance to their tune. Officials of the big brick companies seen yesterday adopted a much offended air at the bare suggestion that thev could

have "combined."

"There isn't any combination at all," declared B. F. Weber, resident nf

the National Brick company. "Bricks are high, but the price Is due to the

scarcity of brick. Thl3 scarcity is be

cause of the open winter and th nr-

valence of building operations, t's lust

a case of the market law of supply

ana demand.

Much the same declaration was made by J. H. Gray, treasurer of the Illinois Brick company. "Combination? Nothing to It," said he. "The brick companies are as much competitors as "they ever were. On March 1 last year there was about 195,000,000 grlcks in our yards and those of the other companies. On March 1 of this year there were about 90,000,000 bricks. The demand at the present time is much greater now than it was therr. That tells the whole story of advanced prices."
