ITttES' BFREAU AT THE STATE3 CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 12. The people of Indiana are automobile mad, as is shown by the figures at the offlce of the secretary of state as to the number of new machines sold during the three months from April 1 to July 1. These figures show that the seoret O Vit i-tltn Ir-n.. . 1 ft r11 x am

first of April to the ninth of July. Neorly all Sn Machine. Of course, not all of these were new machines, but it is said that the proportion of second-hand machines sold in the state and included in these fig

ures was small. When a person buys a machine, no matter whether it be a new one or an old one. he Is required by the law to take out automobile license before he is allowed to run the thing in the state. It Is estimated that the average price paid f or , an automobile in this state is at least $1,500. But when you consider the number of second-hand machines sold in the state for an averaee price of much Jess than ft la

safe to figure, that the average price tor aU ot the 3,209 w Ye av least ,-

000 each. This makes a total of J3,200,000 which people in Indiana spent for automobiles during the 100 days embraced in the time mentioned. This s $32,000 a flay. Farmers Btrf Aatot. In the same length ot time last year the records show that 1,550 automobile licenses were Issued. Therefore.

the automobile sales this year are practically double what they were last year. It is said that most of the machines that are being sold now in Indiana are being sold to farmers. It appears to have become a fad for the well-to-do farmer to have his automobile, and this is especially true of the farmer who retires from active farm work and moved to town to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He almost Invariably has his automobile to run back and forth to "the place." "Whether all of this indicates that farmers are becoming extravagant or whether it means that they are more than ordinarily prosperous is a question, but It is a fact that millions of dollars will be spent by Indiana farmers this year for automobiles. At the office of the secretary of state It is said that nearly all of the sales of automobiles this year are made for cash. In some cases notes are taken

for the purchase price, but these are said to be rare cases. The dealers do not have to sell the machines on credit. They can sell all they can get for cash, for the automobile factories are being worked to their limit of capacity, and still are not able to turn out the machines fast enough to supply the demand. Therefore, it is cash that talks in the automobile business nnA not

credit. j

The first real robbery that has taken place In Gary for some time occurred

last night on Broadway, the Colonial Cigar store suffering the loss. Several drunks have been rolled, clothes and tools have been stolen, but last night Gary suffered from hor first real robbery for many days. The loot consisted of twelve revolvers of the IverJohnson make, and two Smith and Wesson and six valuable pocket knives. The value of the goods taken has not been edtermined by the police as yet, but will probably amount to about $j0. Entrance was gained through the rear window which was pried open with a jimmy. The police claim that they have continually warned Burk & Proper, the proprietors about this matter and that they have paid not heed to their warnings. The wtndow, they said, had no bars on them for protection, and It is an easy matter to force a window. It is thought that the entrance was made early this morning.

Lundberg Construction Co. Charges Breach of Contract.

The Lundberg Construction company of Miller, Ind.. one of the subcontractors on a grading Job of an interurban between Morris and Senaca, 111., is said to be about ready to bring suit against the original contractor for breach of contract. When the Lundberg company of Miller arrived at Morris several weeks ago they had to delay their work because of other litigation which was then in progress. Lundberg went home, but left his hohses in the neighborhood to pasture them. A number of grading contractors arrived on the scene last week to begin work on the line.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, July 12. The Elks of this city had one of their famous day

outings yesterday when they with their families and friends gathered to the number of three hundred under the spreading branches of a park at Hudson Lake to enjoy the pleasures incident to the usual run of events of tlhs character. There was only one drawback to the festivities, and that was that whenever a thirsty Elk desired to indulged his craving for the amber thirstquencher, he was formed to withdraw from the park a half a mile or so, as beverage of that nature were not permitted on the grounds. As the Elks had not stinted themselves in their snpply of this feature of the refreshments, there was a general exodus every so often, on the part of the masculine element represented at the outing, and some of these whose thirsts would brook of no hiatus between drinks, preferred to- remain in the vicinity of the base of supplies, throughout teh day. Besides beer, the picnickers had generously supplied themselves with other good things to cheer the inner man, and no Elk, it is safe to say, was forced to go hungry, no matter how large an appetite he acquired by reason of the open air, the open sky and "nature's teachings." Return at 10 P. M. The holiday crowd left East Chicago at 9 a. m. and returned at ID p. m. The day was spent largely in bathing, boating and picking wild fruits, raspberries and black berries being abundant In the vicinity. The grounds were reached by the interurban railroad. The arrangements for the picnic had been

made by M. II. Silverman, Abe Otten heimer and C. L. Kirk.

Following the closing of two restaurants in Gary several days ago, announcements have been made that two more "henneries" are to be started in Gary next week to nil their places. The new restaurants will be located in the same buildings In which the previous ones held forth for some time. By th3 addition of the two new places, Gary's reputation for eating places will bo fully re-established. The Paris cafe, at 724 Broadway, is to be reopened Monday by the present owners, Attorneys Harris and Bretseh. The new place will be modern in every respect, and Mr. Harris said yesterday that one of the features of the place will be its cleanliness. The manager has already been engaged in the person of J. F. Vordemark, formerly the proprietor of the Victoria hotel cafe where he gained a high reputation. Gary is to bu congratulated In getting back to this city a man of Mr. Vordemark's reputation. The old Bismark place will probably be rented today by the agent, Harry Stringfellow, to a Chicago party of considerable reputation who will start anew In the business in Gary. The man has practically decided on Gary for his new field and the lease will likely be signed today.

(Special to Tira Times.) Indiana Harbor, July 12. Much interest is being manifested in a new style house that Is in process of erec

tion in Indiana Harbor in Hemlock street between One Hundred and Thirty-seventh and One Hundred and Thirty-eighth streets. The house has much the appearance of the popular "rought-cast" structures so much In vogue in the fashionable suburbs, with the exception that the Indiana Harbor cottage has rounded cement corners and oment window sills instead of the customary wood corners and sills. The cottage, which Is nearly completed, is a combination of wood and cement and is built of cement slabs nailed onto a sheeted wooden framework. All joints between the slabs are filled with cement and over all is laid a composition of Portland cement, making the rough finish. A good coat of waterproof paint is then applied, making the exterior complete. The cottage in Hemlock street, which is the first of its kind ever erected, is ornamented with a large, massive cement porch, giving it a neat and attractive appearance. The point of all this Is the very Important one that the cottage can thus be erected at a very slight cost over that of a frame structure of equal size and the owner, instead of having a house which in time will cost him his original outlay over again in repairs, he hasa solid permanent building requiring very little, if any, repairs, and that will last him a life time. The Hemlock ftreet cottage has five rooms. a bath and hot water. The idea

of the slabs, which arc 4Sx23 inches in dimensions, is that of Ben Roop of the rioneer Lime and Cement company, who has applied in Washington for a patent on his invention. Another cottage of the same description, as that almost completed, will be begun this week at One Hundred and Thirty-ninth and Grapevine streets.

A Frog jumps readily enough when put in warm water, yet a frog can be boiled without a movement if the water is heated slowly enough. In a psychological experiment at Yale University the water was heated at the rate of .0036 of a degree a second, Fahrenheit, The frog never moved, and at the end of two and onehalf hours, was found dead. Hehad evidently been boiled to death without knowing it. There are hundreds of business frogs.

The evolution from the old method to the new, bright, advertising way has not startled them they die a slow business death. The merchant who doesn't advertise today is being boiled to death, and the bright attractive printing that we are doing for his competitors is the water that is doing for him what the frog got at Yale.
