COOL. AND PRACTICAL. TENNIS COSTUME. This is a sensible Kt-up for all kinds of summer outing wear. The linen crash skirt buttons all the day down the front and may be opened and spread ( :it flat on the ironing-board. This skirt is quite short, so that It may well escape the ground even when heedless tennis sclippers are worn. The blouse is a simple, roomy garment of crossbarred lawn, the neat turnback collar and cuffs of linen being particularly dainty and neat in effect. The collar is finished by a little pleated lawn tie washable, like all the rest of this trim costume.

SISTERS REALIZE NEAT SUM

St. Margarets Hospital Tbe Richer By Several Hundred Dollars As Result of Celebration

At th dedication of the new wing of St. Margaret's hospital last Sunday the neat little sum of $553.72 was cleared for the benefit of the Institution. In view of the fact that the celebration was held primarily as a celebration and not as a money-making affair, the Sisters are highly pleased with the results. In speaking of the affair, the Sister Superior Eusebia said to Ths Times: "I take this occasion in behalf of the Sisters to thank everybody who has in any way been instrumental to make the day a success. My sincerest thanks and appreciation go out to the ladies of both All Saints' and St. Joseph's churches, who worked hard and successfully for the hospital." The $553.72 represents the net profit, of which a little more than $50 was cleared on the ice cream. About six dollars were cleared on souvenirs and cigars which were sold by the children. Get Liberal Donation. As an evidence of appreciation for the good work that the Sisters are carrying on in Hammond, they have received substantial encouragement from various sources, the latest coming in the way of a $200 check from A. E. WorkofT of Lafayette. Mr. WorkofT had the heating contract In the hospital and in that way became acquainted with Its needs. In the letter which accompanied the check Mr. Workoff designated that the money should be used to furnish a room. But this is not all. Inquiries for permission to furnish rooms have come from other sources, principally from Hammond. Among those who have expressed their willingness to furnish a room at the hospital are Attorney Peter Crumpacker, Attorney John F. Reilley, William Klelhege and Attorney D. E. Boone.. At the time of the charity ball, which was given for the benefit of the hospital, the Citizens' German National bank donated $100 to the institution, while other banking Institutions helped with the committees also In a substantial way. Messrs. John E. Fitzgerald and Jacob Schloer also remembered the institution last Sunday, they giving $25 and 10, respectively. Compete to Please Children. The various donations recall a pleasant little competition between John E. Fitrgerald and Dr. H. E. Sharrer last Sunday. Somehow the ticket sellers to the ice cream tables got next to the fact that the two gentlemen carried an unusual amount of loose change In their clothes and It did not take long for the boys and girls to find this out. It was only a matter of a few minutes before ice cream tickets had been placed in several hundred eager hands by Dr. Sharrer and Mr. Fitzgerald.

The reporter of the paper was called upon the carpet and asked who had complained of the dogs and failed to give the name of a single person who had complained.

HAMMOND MAN CLOSES BIG DEAL (Continued from Page 1.) torney Joseph Conroy of the firm of McMahon & Conroy, attorneys, who control the European patents, has also secured control of the American patent from Charles Wainwright of Boston, and, together with this gentleman, will soon begin exploiting the American end of the deal. Judge William W. McMahon and the inventor, H. A. Buck, have been in Berlin and other cities in Germany for the post three months making the necessary the necessary tests of the turbine before Gejian engineers and capitalists, and. it is said, that the reversible turbine Invented in America has set the whole German mechanical world to talking. The ordinary steam turbine has been found far superior to the reciprocating engine of a few years ago, but it has been possible to use them to only a limited extent, owing to the fact that heretofore it has been impossible to produce a reversible turbine. HI Civ SOLVES THE PROI1LEM. H. A. Buck solved the problem, and the mechanical world is paying him hnmnp. The turbine engine, on account V- the great .simplicity, economy In powc and Its smootli running, is far superior V the old reciprocating engine and is destined, according to competent engineers, to entirely replace it. But the real romance of the affair occurred in Hammond. Attorney Conroy became acquainted with Mr. Buck. The inventor had been able to carry out his plans to the extent of selling an option on the European patents to a group of German capitalists and organizing an American company, but at this point his resources failed and he was apparently down and out. To add to his troubles, one of the promoters of the American company became so involved that he involved the whole concern and threatened It with failure. COX ROY TO THE REM I E. Mr. Buck was nearly c razed over the fear that the option which he had given the German capitalists would expire, and he would not be able to realize on the $70,000 that he was to receive from the sale of the patent to them. It was at this time that Attorney Conroy promise,! to come to his rescue and see if he could not raise enough money among his friends to take the inventor and his engine to Europe, where the necessary tests could be made and the deal closed. Judge McMahon went with Mr. Buck, as the representative of the Hammond syndicate. After long and numerous delays, owing to the German slowness in doing business, the information lias come of late that the deal is now ready to be closed, and it is expected that Judge McMahon will take the boat from Berlin In a few days bound for America with the money in his possession. MAY LOCATE IX HAMMOND. In the meantime preparations are beir.g made in this country to exploit the American end of the patent, and

Shortly before Jul.e McMahon left for Kurope a demonstration of the working modeia was made in the plant of the F. H. IK-tz Co. in Hammond before a number cf competent mechanical engineers and the tests were reported to be nothing less than marvelous. In Germany the ergrins have done more than was claimed for them, and it is freely predicted there that the reversible turbine wi",l replace the reciprocating enarine all over the country.
