RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
THE CAR BUILDING CENTER OF THE WORLD.
That the Calumet region ia coming to be considered one of the greatest
ear building centers In the world 13 shown by the recent decision of the Cudahy Packing company to build new refrigerator car3 on a Bite in the
Yiclnlty of the "Dutch Cleanser" plant at Calumet.
To Btart with, the Pullman Car works has just built an enormous plant for the manufacture of steel freight and passenger cars. This is probably
the largest car manufacturing plant in the world.
The Standard Steel Car company has built a ?5,000,C00 plant In Hammond for the manufacture of steel freight and passenger cars, but its local jjant has never been in full operation since 1907. The Western Steel Car & Foundry company at Ilegewisch has just completed additions and Improvements to its plant that involved over $1,000,000. Hegewisch also has the Ryan Car works. In Hammond the Illinois Car & Equipment company, the FitzhughLuther company and the Simplex Appliance company all either make cars, repair them or make car parts. The Simplex Appliance company is one of the most successful of the ear parts manulacturies in this locality. It Is a part of the American Steel Foundry company, A new plant for the manufacture of castings will be built in Hammond as soon as business conditions warrant. Over In Michigan City, which is Just outside of the Calumet region, the Haskell-Barker company is' spending millions of dollars to install a plant for the manufacture of steel freight cars, a step which John W. Barker would never take in his lifetime.
And with the car manufacturing business centralized in this locality, the lateBt announcement Is that the Cudahy Packing company is to manufacture
Its refrigerator cars here and employ 300 men at the start.
Other smaller concerns, which manufacture articles needed in the con
struction of cars, will find it advantageous to locate here until finally, with
Its excellent facilities for distribution, the Calumet region will be known as
the greatest car building center In the world.

"THE BANG 'EM IN THE EAR CLUB."
Are you a member of the "Bang 'em in the Ear Club"? If you are, don't brag about it, for the only distinction in this connection is, that you belong to
a laree societv. every member of which ought to brush up on the rules of
telephone etiquette.
The Hammond Camp of "Bang 'em in the Ear" is affiliated with the
American Federation, which has a camp in every locality where telephones
are used, and a movement is on foot to make the organization international
as practically the same rules are applied in other countries.
The Hammond Camp was founded when telephones first came into use
The founders as far as history can trace them, were a class of harmless
"fit-heedless individuals and held a membership in the club whose members . ' forgot to close the door, and when they do close it, shut it with a bang. The 5 1
membership grew rapidly and today it has many members in good standing
Jn Hammond. The constitution and by-laws are very simple. All one has
to do to maintain membership, is to hang up the telephone receiver with a bang while the polite party at the other end is saying "good-bye" to warn
you that he or she is about to hang up the receiver,
The membership in Hammond Includes bankers, merchants, lawyers, doc 1
tors, ministers and scores of others, and It has been noticed that the number
Is growing.. This probably is due to the fact that new members are being
forced Into the organization on the principle of self protection, realizing that
if they take the time to say "good-bye" the party at the other end is likely
to "bang 'em In the ear."

BIG FACTOR IN GARY'S LIFE. Next week the Gary Commercial club will be formally housed in its new 125.000 home. It will then have the finest quarters owned by any public organization in the Calumet region. ' Founded almost with Gary, the Commercial club has been the city's most potent civic body. At the opening of the Gary hotel in 1907 it made its formal debut to the world with the governor of Indiana, supreme court judges, public officials and steel magnates as its guests. Later on the club had charge of the opening of tHe Gary harbor and in the same year a junket was taken across the state. Next we find it grappling with the high 'cost of
living in Gary, taking ouster action against inefficient public officers, demand
ing an honest street car franchise and doing other things which are not the work of any but red blooded and energetic men.
The Commercial club Is rooted In Gary's civic lire, its going to be a big factor in the city's progress and as Gary grows oldor Its Commercial
club will grow stronger, if the past is to be. accepted as a criterion of the
future, '

is invited to the advantages of providing fa
cilities for the receipt of their mail by erect-
ng conveniently accessible boxes or cutting
suitable slots In their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a
prompter and better delivery service with
the means at his disposal, since the carriers

also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mall In the absence of members of the household. Yhey also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour., It has been shown by actual experience
that the benefits derived by patrons of city
delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense Involved. As this office is interested In furnishing the best
possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions
will be much appreciated. Respectfully, F. R. SCHAAF, Postmaster.
The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postofflce Department. They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and are recommended by the Postmaster. One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one year's subscription in advance, OR a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OR vou can secure one of these boxes by cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office six (6) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents. These Coupons are numbered and all tliat is required is that your Coupons bear six consecutive numbers. These MAIL BOXES are the very best made and cannot be purchased elsewhere at less than One Dollar each. We shall be glad to have you come up and look at them. You will be surprised.
