(Special to The Times.) . East Chicago, Ind., June 16. Citizens

of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor were curious to know what that white substances which looked like a coarse

form of salt and which a force of

workmen was spreading- In the streets, was being distributed for. They were also curious to know what made their shoes tight the other morning when

they went to put them on.

The stuff that was being: spread it

appears was what is known as Salvay.

being- technically calcium chloride, a form of salt, and its purpose is to do away with the necessity of ' street

sprinklers. It also had to do with the

unwonted tightness of the shoes of

persons who had crossed the streets

where it 13 being spread a number of

times, for the stuff Is astringent when

applied although this quality, disap

pears after the material has lain for

twelve hours.

The theory is that the Salvay ab

sorbs the moisture from the air thus

keeping the streets moist continually

The salvay is an experimnt In Fast

Chicago and Indiana Harbor although

it has been in use in Europe and in some places in America for the past three years or more. Five tons of the stuff have been purchased by the city and it is to be tried out in Chicago avenue from Forsythe avenue to Olcott

street and Michigan avenue from Grapevine to Guthrie. The first season two applications are necessary hut after that it. is claimed that one will suffice to keep moist for an -entire season, the roadways where it is employed. As th.; material itself is cheap, it

is expected that it will be adopted!

successful. I is the intention to spread the stuff on the roadway between Ens: Chicago and Indiana Harbor. It is the intention to give the stuff a good trial of a few weeks before adopting it, it being desired to await a heavy rain to ascertain what the effect of this will be.

GOVERNMENT MEN

MAKE NEW SURVEYS

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 1 .- Gov

ernment men were out a few days ago

from Chicago to make the surveys necessary to the location of two lighthouses which are soon to be erected In

the local harbor.

The party spent some time in the

harbor, in Matt Sternberg s launch.

and the preliminary steps toward the

erection of one of the lighthouses.

were taken.

The steel towers are to be built at

the entrance of the harbor, one it them to be erected near th end of the northwesterly pier, while the exact location of the other has not been decided upon. It will probably be set on

the Inland property near the canal

entrance. The lighthouses will be set

in concrete foundations.

They will be equipped with brilliant

acetylene lights both front and back, the lights to work automatically, com

ing on voluntarily at the approach of

darkness, and being extinguished similarly with the first beams of day. The lights will flash out at ai time

during the day, incase storm clouds obscure th daylight, sufficiently to

cause darkness.

Vice President C. A. Westberg re

ceived a letter a few days ago front T). W. Bkamer, commander of ' the

tTnlted States Navy in charge of the

12th lighthouse district, apprising that

work would be begun on the two lighthouses In th very near future.

A great mistake made by many is the purchase of inferior enameled iron goods for plumbing equipment with the idea of economizing. All manufacturers of these goods have a certain portion of their product which is not good enough to Vie marketed under their name and these are put on the market through vari

ous "wildcat" outlets. They almost invariably have .some inherent defect which sooner or later develops to the

I discomfort of the purchaser. ;

There may be only a small pin hole

' in the enamel which might be thought to do no harm, but the rust will work ! through and discolor and roughen the

'.enamel. Again the enamel might not

be perfectly amalgamated with the iron, leaving a "blister" which eventually will. crack off. leaving the surface of the iron exposed. A third fault is warping, which may leave a pool in the bottom of a tub which will not drain to the waste, necessitating removing the dirty water from the tub with a rag or sponge. A lixture like this, instead of being economy will prove to be an extravagance and whatever the excuse for purchasing such "junk" when enameled goods were high in price, there is none when a guaranteed bathtub may be purchased for from fourteen to thirty

SOUTH SHORE

ROUTES THROUGH

Ag stated In The Time several weeks

ago, the Chicago, Lake Shore & South

Bend Railway Co. will be running Its

interurban cars all of the way to Ran

dolph street by the 20th of this month.

This will be a great convenience to

the people of Hammond, East Chicago

and Indiana Harbor for the reason that

it will be the only railroad in this section of the country that will take Its

passengers that far down town.

Most of the large department stores

of the better class are located on the north side of the elevated loop in Chicago and most of the terminals of the

eastern roads are on the south side, i

This makes it necessary to ride across

the city on the street cars.

But with the installation of the down

town service this will all be changed

"This is a full two Btorv house, but the treatment of roof and dormers gives It the appearance of a : .ry and a half bungalow. The walls are sided, and the gables over dormers are panels of rough cast cement. The interior ar-

i rangement is a very desirable one. combining a large living room across the

entire end, a central hall and a liberal dining room at the front of the house. In the second story are four splendid chambers, with ample closet space. Size of house 32 by 29 feet over the main part. First story nine feet, second tory eight feet. Cost to build, exclusive of heating and plumbing, $3,200. By special arrangement with me the editor of this paper will furnish one complete set of plans and specifications of design No. 840 A for $25. GLENN L. SAXTON.
