Mind and Soul. The body is the tent where our existence is encamped. The more I think of it, the more I see that the mind is something outside of the soul, as the hands are outside of the body, the eyes outside of the head, the branches outside of the trunk. It helps to do more, but not to be more. The mind is a Are of whichthought is the flame. The imagination is the eye of the oul. Joseph Joubert.

Shreveport, La., March 15. With

tarted the real work of spring prac

The cold wind from the north, however
recluded the possibility of work out-

fair weather was predicted.
Acting Manager Charlie Williams, with Dale Gear, manager of the local club, visited the grounds during the afternoon and found them in fair condition. It will be possible for the club to use the outfield for morning practice tomorrow, and by afternoon the infield will be in fair shape for use. The grounds here are one of the best in the south, and in that respect the champions are lucky.

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., March 15. In snite
of the cold raw March weather which prevailed here yesterday, six automobiles containing eighteen prominent Chicagoans, all of them officially interested ln the great automobile races
to be run over the Crown Point course next May, made the trip as planned earlier ln the week, to inspect the
course and note the various alterations and Improvements which will have to
be perfected before the great event is run. Those to go over the course and partake of the automobile dinner at the
Commercial hotel yesterday were: A-
J. Banta, driving a Locomobile; A. M.

On the return from the run over the
course the officials were very favorably Impressed with the speedway, and
Dut rew alterations will have to bo made beyond the banking of the turns and changing the course in one or two places. A. J. Banta, driving the Locomobile roadster, is reported to havo gone over the course yesterday in the

The party returned immediately after the dinner to Chicago, where a meeting was held. Rules and regulations gov
erning the contest are being prepared, and it was reported yesterday that more
than enough entries had been made to make the race a signal success. From now on Crown Point will be the Mecca

BIG INCREASE II NUMBER OF TELEPHONE PHTROflS
Growth of Service in This Region Is the Best Indicator of Returning Prosperity Is Growing More Popular With the Wage Earner.
There Is probably no more re!ih?
barometer for general financial conditions than the use of the telephone by
tne masses the laborer, the wage-
earner and the small merchant. Dis
continuance of service to these classes invariably accompanies financial troub
les in which the general public be
comes Involved. And, inversely. a
mending of financial or Industrial conditions is presaged by receipt of orders
ror a resumption of telephone service.
In the new telephone directories now
being issued for tije northern Indiana
steel belt, there are positive proofs of
tne recovery of this district from the
stringent conditions of the past eighteen months. During two months of the present year the growth in patron
age is larger than for the six months preceding. Every sign, according to representatives of the telephone oom-
iu a larger volume or new orders with each succeeding month of the present year.
Increase In Every City. By reference to the pages of the new
telephone books it is found that there has been a large net growth in the number of subscribers since the last directories were issued in Octobe-. Many of the instruments were Installed in the residences of wage-earners who, at the trme of the financial disturbance, had ordered the telephone removed. Wile many of the former patrons have signed contracts for the renewal of the service, yet a large num
ber ui new suDscrioers are listed in the directories. The Hammond book, printed by The Times, shows that the reopening of factories and other places of business in Hammond and Indiana Harbor have resulted in the installation of many f!ephones in the homes of former patrons.
Since the first of January, contracts for new telephones at Hammond have averaged two per day. A tangibra growth is also noticed at East Chicago and Whiting. Growth of the residence district a
Gary has produced a demand for residence telephones. Records on file at the local exchange also show that there have been installations ln many business houses and institutions, proving? the rapid growth of Gary as a city. Single Lines Become Popular. During the last year all ten-partv stations have been discontinued, beinginadvisable, to both the company and the patron. Many fdur and two-party lines have been changed to single Una service to accommodate increased trade The true value of the single line Is reflected by the large' increase in this class of service in the residence dis
trict and among the business houses. That the public recognizes the peculiar value of the extension telephone is proven by the installation of a large number during the year. With the prospect of steadilv growing business during the nxt tevf months the Chicago Telephone company is making provisions for the extension of lines and increased switchboard facilities
