"TniS IS MY ROTH BIRTHDAY" Charles D. Watson.

Charles Douglas Watson. wh has

been nominated by the Democratic party for governor of Vermont, was born in St. Albans. Vt., July 29, 1860. He Is a lawyer and one of the leading members of the Vermont bar association. He studied for three years at the University of Vermont and graduated from the law school of Boston University In

18S6. He has been auditor of his home county since 1896 and has also been prominent In the affairs of the Vermont National Guard. In 1908 he was elected to the legislature from St. Albans and served on the judiciary com

mittee of that year. He was candidate

for judge of the State supreme court

and was defeated only by a few votes.

Early in the present month he waa nominated to head the Democratic ticket which will be voted for in the State election In Vermont, which will

be held early 5n September.

of the city of Gary, land which was purchased by the Gary Land company for

a trifling sum is now worth a fortune-

In view of the fact that the territory which is influenced by the location

of Gary is so expansive, it is safe to say that acreage in nearly 100 square

miles of territory has increased in value from 25 to 10,000 per cent as a re suit of the location of Gary.

repeat the trip again unless the most urgent exigency requires him to do so-

It would be infinitely better were it a plain dirt road. The county commis

THE ONE THING NEEDED.

This paper has previously published an editorial calling upon the citi-

rens of East Chicago to provide their homes with mail boxes, but many have not yet done so, and probably will not do so, until free delivery is actually

in operation It appears that what the citizens have waited In vain for.

for so long, is regarded by many as inaccessible, and although Postmaster Mose Specter announced some time ago that the era of free delivery for East Chicago was at hand- the populace to a large extent has regarded the

announcement In the light of a little fairy tale, arranged by some one to

keep up their hope. The presence in East Chicago of a bonaflde free de

livery inspector, who has promised to turn in a favorable report of the situation in East Chicago to the authorities, may have the effect of reassuring the doubting Thomases, that Mr. Specter was not talking to hear himself

talk. Get busy. Get in your mail boxes and have vour houses Tnimhprod.

Remember that in order to benefit by the new service you must be provided with these little incidents, as well as with a sidewalk in front of your dwelling, to participate In the conveniences afforded by free delivery. The government regulations are not to be ignored, so climb aboard the band wagon soon in order that the first letter or postcard sent you after free delivery is in operation be dropped in a box at your door instead of having to go to the post office to get it.

A CASE OF DEGENERACY. A fifteen-year-old girl a child was a witness in a case in Hammond yesterday in which seven men are accused of mistreating her. The story the girl has told the police is a vile one- Hardened as they are to tales of this nature, they had to confess that they had heard nothing like it. Whn the girl faced the accused men in court yesterday she was con

fronted with a mob of gloating and ribald men and boys, whose ears cracked that they might not lose a single word of the shamefully salacious testimony. These men laughed and giggled at the shocking details- The unfortunate girl, weeping with shame, was compelled to face the leering eyes and rehash her story for their benefit. The personnel of the audience in the courtroom was the personnel of the street corner and the loafing place. It was the same class of fellows who make derogatory remarks of ladies who pass them on the street and who, in many cases, have insulted them, and when the fellow on trial who, according to her testimony had wronged her. went scotf ree, these barflies and loafers exulted. Why would it not have been best to hold trials of this nature in chambers?

PROTECT YOUR CIR.L. Girls must not run In races exceeding fifty yards in length. They must not compete In violent exerclbe, such as high jumping, putting the shot, hurdle racing, and so on. - Those are rules made by the directors

of the Brooklyn Manual Training school. The girls of the school planned an elaborate program of outdoor sports and were very indignant when these rules were posted. They were obliged to content themselves with fifty yard races, baseball and basketball. The girls do not understand. They do not realize bow easily a girl

might permanently Injure herself and unfit herself for the duties of wifehood and motherhood by violent exercise. The physician understands. Tbe plain fact is that girls were not built by nature to withstand violent

physical strain. Man was built for such endurance, and the young man needs severe physical activity for purposes of physical development. Even with young men. however, overstrain in athletic contests often has produced permanent injury. Many a star athlete has died young. If young men are physically hurt by this exertion, much more may young women be injured thereby. Womanhood spells motherhood. Woman is made capable by nature

for the duties of motherhood, and that

is sufficient strain for her sex. To require more Is cruel and dangerous. The state understands. x Nowadays in almost every commonwealth young girls are protected by the laws from tb stress of physical toll. But many parents are slow to learn the dangers that attend their girls on account of overstrain. For instance Many a young girl has been made a nervous wreck for life by "skipping the rope" ro the point of physical exhaustion.

And there is the "Marathon dance," whore prizes are given to the girl who dances the longest a barbarism that should be punished by severe penalty. See that your daughter is not injured by physical excesses, whether for labor or recreation, else you may commit by your neglect a crime against the girl and her future.
