EAST CHICAGO AND MB. HARBOR

EAST CHICAGO. The Girls' Club" perpetrated a surprise on Mrs. Louis Loucks yesterday In honor of her birthday anniversary. As these birthday surprises have been put over on several occasions before there was a concensus of opinion among- the members that Mrs. Loucks might not be genulnel surprised If the "crowd" came over at a conventional hour, so they chose 10 a. m. to malt their visitation. They took their dinner along, as well as their work and there seemed little doubt that their Joint hostess and guest of honor was not expecting them, or else sh Is a pretty fair actor. Those present were Mesdarr.es John Haugh. George Reuss, John Walsh, Misses Mabel Hartman, Sadye Jones, Helen Harris, Ida Phillips, Fannie Cohen, Mrs. Bruce Miller, Miss Jacobson of Chicago and Mrs. Ryan of Hammond. A beautiful sterling silver spoon was presented to Mrs. Loucks. Io not miss the wonderful Electric Illuminated Dance at East Chicago Rink Saturday night. ll-3t

Chicago two days ago en route to In

dianapolis and told a number of friends

something about his cars. They are

specially built machines with engines

the size of the stock case oar. Every

possible change which would result in

more speed has been made in the cars

and in private trials over country roads

they have shown more than ninety

miles an hour, according to Strang. The

engines have a- 4 li bore and 5-inch

stroke, getting into the 231-300 class.

Ijpwls Strang first burst into the

limelight by lowering the world's rec
