SOCIAL LIFE IN GARY.
One of the most noticeable things about Gary is its spontaneous social
life. Its people, drawn from all parts of the country, have no other recourse
than to get acquainted and they go about it mighty informally at that. Be
ing a yorrag town it lacks the aristocracy which, a half century's age might
give it. Everybody who is respectable can travel on the same general plane,
and while it is true that the social register exhibits a few faint lines of
cleavage, the register Is large despite efforts of those who would be ultra-
exclnsiv to cut it down. Since every one has been in the city no great
length of time, the process of getting acquainted is not a hard one.
In Gary society (the word used in the general term) asks what you are
They don't look Into your past. If you are respectable and are trying to
do right you are treated as a desirable member of society. If your past has
been what it shouldn't have been, and if you exhibit traces of returning to It, Gary will soon find it out, but as long as ycu are in Gary and follow the
conventions and are trying to do right you are as good as the next one.
No doubt as the years roll on there will be an effort to build up a "four hundred." Aspiring social leaders will ape the efforts of those who rule in
larger centers and later on as the city takes on years and wealth the upper
crust will begin to form.
Unlike some of the older Indiana centers a new comer to Gary is well
received if it's in him r her to be worthy of it. It it's not, it crops out soon
er or later, let in old established Indiana tommunllties a new comer, no matter how well 'qualified, would not become a factor in the Bocial life of
the place until he had lived there five or ten years. Who could tell? He might be all right. So might his parents. But then his great grandfather
might have scuttled a ship or his wife's step-father might have been the
. son of a lundiess who was hanged for stealing the kirg's nightie.
The system It's not what you were or what your parents were, but what you are, but mostly that you are respectable, energetic, well bred and
worthy of the confidence of others and that you are potential somebody
has worked well in Gary.
Because of the democratic social life of the city, Gary has such admirable
club houses as the Country club, the Elks club, the Commercial club, semi
social In a way, clubs of lesser activity, such as the University club, the
Knights of Columbus club, and a score of4odges, societies and guilds.
BOOST EAST STATE STREET.
The formation of an East State street improvement association for the
purpose of bringing about the widening of the street and the extension of
Sohl street across the river is a matter of pressing necessity.
There will be so much opposition to these plans that only by presenting
a united front will the business men and property owners along State and
Sohl streets be able to accomplish the results that are so urgently needed
Such an association would have the financial and moral support of-a
large number of Influential and wealthy business men. There is much to be
done and steps should be taken at once.
If the business men of State street are convinced that the "four corners"
are now and will continue to be the business center of the city of Hammond,
they may as well slip the other foot in the gave and wait for the advent of
a live one.
, But if the State street property owners are the kind that are conscious
ct their own power, the kind that can compel results, the kind that thinks
for themselves and will not take the dictum of the man who is forever say
lng."cant, the street should show a marvel development , in the next
) few years.
GLAD to see old Lake Michigan back
on the job.
AND we haven't heard a word about
the heat in nearly five hours.
MR. Honan can find a lot of investi
gating to do in this county if he has
the time to spare.
YES, we love to read how to pack a
trunk, especially as we are not going
to have any vacation.
IF you make somebody happy today
they'll think about it a year hence and
perhaps longer than that.
ADAM was the first ultimate con
sumer, and he got the worst of it too when he bit into the apple.
THIS is the season of the year when
the farmer's wife adds years to her
life by cooking for a horde of hungry
hay-cutters.
A LIVE commercial club is the best
asset to any town that it could have,
We would like to see every place in the
county get busy.
MOTHERS' Day and Fathers' Day
being over, it is now proposed to have
an Old Maids' Day. Well, have it over
as soon as possible.
THE Hammond man who Is being
arrested regularly for beating his wife,
should remember that the devil is ex
ceedingly proud of him. .
LEARN that big trout are getting
harder to catch each this year. Yes, even the carp in the Calumet seem
to be passing out their checks.
GOV. MARSHALL should also offer a medal to the prisoners in the pen who achieved the best results and get
away with the least punishment.
WHAT has become of the old-fash
loned man who wore a stiff bosomed shirt and boots in summer time and
never complained about the heat?
HAMMOND girls like to be hugged,
but they don't fancy it so much in broad daylight on a prominent corner
and where the hugger is half-piped.
IF some of the street car companies can't furnish seats for patrons, they ought to instruct the conductors to fix it so that a fellow could find a stray
lap to tsit in now and then. ft
CHICAGO autoists don't act quite so cocky now on Indiana boulevard and several of them have pocketbooka like a poorhouse since they started to
open the throttle in Hammond.
YOU notice the busy little knocker with his hammer when anyone suggests a public improvement, don't you? He Is the worst kind of a barnacle, but
he is generally so deep in the rut of
distress himself that he is daffy.
MERCY! MEN. HAVE WE COME TO THIS?
t
GRIFFITH TO BE CONGRATULATED.
We hereby extend our sympathy to the enterprising and indomitable
members of the town board of Griffith. They are the true Bait of the earth
Like all other towns, not infected with gangrene and dry rot, Griffith has a set of barnacles who are forever throwing the monfeey-wrench into
the machinery and blocking improvement and progress.
Tne trustees oi urinitn are going quietly about their business. They have built several miles of sidewalks, a new $14,000 school house and propose to build a splendid town hall, besides taking other progressive steps that will make Griffith stick out on the map of Lake county like a Ben Davis on an apple tree. The trustees of the town should never for one moment let themselves be annoyed by opposition and imagine that they are the only ones who have trouble this way. Every progressive movement ever Inaugurated has a set of wild-eyed knockers clinging to it tooth and toe nail in the effort to be a brake on the wheel of progress, but the movement will crush them if they only hang on long enough. Go ahead, Griffith, and don't look backward, don't stand still, keep moving!
SAD NEWS FOR BECKER. We can think of nothing more unfortunate to mar the pleasure of Judge Lawrence Becker's trip to Europe this summer, than to hear in his deck chair by wireless as the ship plows through the blue waters of the Atlantic that Governor Marshall Is really and truly a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. If the news doesn't make his honor seasick, not even a piece of salt pork during a head wind gale would.
Let the ladies wear harem skirts or trousers, or stiff collars or anything they want to. The designers of men's clothing assembled in Cambridge. Mass., say men are retting back at them by adopting all the women's frippery . i their own, and Dt-n Cougtlin, whom every tailor and designer in the country know as the finest rornied nan alive, says that before long men will look more like our modern hipless ladies than anything else Mr. Coughlia has the distinction of having wore more clothes than any other. man in the country. "Every year men's clothes are
Imitating moie and more those of omen," he says. "I do not hesi
tate to predict tLat In a very few years men's attire will be as feminine as women's attire will be masculine."

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
THIS IS MY 60TH BIRTHDAY. Hollls B. FrUicll. Hollls Burke Frlssell, who for nearly wenty-three years has been principal f Hampton Institute, the well-known ichool for Indians and colored vouth
located at Hampton. Va. was born
at Amenla, N. Y., July 14. 1851. After graduating from Yale in 1S74 he took a course In theology at Union Theolog
ical seminary and in 1880 he was or
dained to the Presbyterian ministry.
After a year as assistant pastor of the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian church in
New York city he accepted an appoint
ment as chaplain of Hampton Institute. He filled the position of chaplain
irom 1880 until 1893. when he was made
principal of the institute. Under the
direction of Dr. Frlssell Hampton Institute has extended Its educ&ti
along many lines and has become one
of the foremost Institutions In the
country for the traininsr of the neero
youth of both sexes, particularly in the industrial arts. At the present time
there are nearly 1,500 students at the school.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, head of the government's bureau of chemistry, has teon recommended to President Taft for dismissal by a committee that investigated Dr. Wiley's employment of an expensive assistant in his department-
The character of a woman Is generally , formed by the training she receives in childhood. Children's minds are wonderfully susceptible to example. Hence it Is of the utmost Importance that at this early Impressionable age they have a good pattern laid out for them to follow. To be happy, children, like their eldars, need work as well as play. Even a daughter of 7 or 8 years should be given some little tasks of her own to perform, will develop the sense of responsibility in her. I know one family of three daughters, ages range from 12 to 16, who do all the housework, relieving their mother entirely from the household cares. Weekly they take turns in doing the sweeping, dish washing, and
cooking, so that each one is learning
to be a splendid housekeeper, and yet no one of the tasks becomes monoton
ous or burdensome because of. the short
time each is called on to perform it.
Another small miss of 12 la becoming
an excellent coook. She was always
passionately fond of her tin cook stove, '
mud pies, and doll dishes. Her mother, . noticing the hours she spent at playing cooking, thought here was an excellent opportunity to begin teaching her
something of the simple forms of cookery.
- Now, when her mother is tired or
away from home at the meal hour, this
small miss will have the table all set.
the potatoes baking in the oven, a fluffy
omeltt prepared, and good coffee made, besides muffins or biscuits in the oven.
A child of 10 or 12 should be taught to care for her own room, to hang up her clothes properly, darn her own hose, etc. Even at a very early age the habits of neatness and order will become established. A child who has always been waited on and spoiled is pretty apt to develop Into a useless, incompetent woman. To open a bank account for her is also an excellent plan to help her save her pennies. The habits of economy and thrift need early to be established to prevent extravagance in later life. RUTH CAMERON.
road, near Winona Lake. Dr. Elliott was 65 years old 'and a gate keeper of Winona. A boy outside the ground got in front of the automobile, and' tho driver started Into the fence to mlsn the lad, when the aged minister stepped out to save the boy and was struck. His skull was fractured. BADIT OX Tit I A I - As passengers who were .board the fast Big Four passenger train that was robbed by a lone bandit at Muncie last April, testify in' circuit court concerning the amusing actions of somo of those on the car. Sorghum McCoy,, dubbed "King of the Box Car Thieves" by railroad detectives, smiles frequently. McCoy is on trial on the theory that he was the lone bandit. Conductor Zimmerman, of the train, who was on the stand yesterday, said that he was in the rear of the passenger car when the bandit appeared and forced passengers to give up their belongings, ire said he. as well as th
passengers, were then covered by the robber's revolver. However, as the bandit backed out of the car, Zimmerman fired at him with a revolver that had been handed him by a passenger. A short pistol duel then ensued In which nobody was struck. BURGLARS GET 10,000. Burglars entered the home of Mrs. J. O. Winfrey, at Evansvllle, some time last night and stole $10,000 worth sf Jewelry. Family heirlooms, prised far beyond their actual value by members of the family, were among the articles taken. No one was at home at the time of the burglary. Mr. Winfrey, who was formerly police judge at Evansvllle, has been In a private sanatorium for the last six years. TRAGTIOX CARS TO CRASH. Theodore C. Wynegar was seriously injured and several others were badly bruised in a collision between two interurban cars In South Bend. Tho
cars met head-on in rounding a dan
gerous curve. One was an Interurbart bound from Goshen to St. Joseph, Mich., over the Northern Indiana railway. The other was a local car to Mlshawaka. Theodore C. Wynegar was standing In the smoking compartment of the Interurban. He received two broken ribs and may have been injured internally. MILE CAX STAND A LOT. "I have worked on a farm myself." said Justice Stader, In his court t Columbus, "and I do not think the defendant was guilty of cruel treatment to a mule." Consequently Edward Shaw was acquitted of a charge of cruelty to animals. Had the Justice of the peace not been a farmer in his younger days, he said, he perhaps would have assessed a fine. "It takes a good deal to hurt a mule." The mule in question belonged to John Beatty, and the owner testified the animal was 32 years old. Shaw was accused of driving it when U had a sore place on Its back. Two veterinarians testified
they did not think the mule suffered.

AN ANSWER ON SOCIALISM. Hammond. Ind.. Jul-r 14.
Editor Times:
I wish to thank my Socialistic friend
Messrs. Wright and Marlatt for their kindly invitation to ba present at the corner of Favette and Hnhman air.ato
on Saturday evening, though one would think a Socialist would scarcely need an Invite to a socialistic meeting.
Yes, I was a member of the TTammnn.i
local, and so far as I am aware I am
still a member, thouarh som wn
months In arrears, I guess, and even this slight delinquency has been th re
sult of thoughtlessness rather than of intentional neelect. for vhi., awt
'-' r - " ' - " lO the Interest and growth of Hammond's
socialistic branch affects me most closely. I have no new trieaa tn ad
vance, my particular brand of Socialism
oemg me same old brand, and eveu it I felt possessed of new lights I should hardly care to flash them forth trr-.m h
street corners, believing there are better means and methods.
If my friends Wrleht nnd Mariutt
satisfied with the Hardy style of SocialIsm, that is entirely up to them, but they must also concede to th. ,i r
us Socialists the right to accept or reject the gentleman's standard. Tha
little boy who can't play In full accord with his fellows might far better go away and build a little mud ri of m
own, don't you think, than remain to create dissension among his old-time
chums. Tomorrow, like as not ihi
trouble will be healed anyhow, and the
quarrel, if there was one. will be for
gotten.
I venture to state, lest thus r.mrv.
of mine be mlslntemreted. that no nr.
who knows me will accuse me of fear
to make known my opinions. In public or in private, or at any time, but I have my own conception as to what constitutes the fitting time and place, and then, too, I prefer a real opponent with
wnom to cross swords rather than a friend who simply differs with me on what may be, after all, the nonessentials. If W fpnrv

BABY DROWNS IN TROUGH. Wayne Funk, 2 years old, was drowned In thirteen inches of water in a concrete drinking trough built for cattle on the farm of his father, Charles Funk, near Pipe Creek yesterday. The child had been playing with an elder brother during the afternoon and the older child had been called to the house. During this absence the child apparently climbed a fence that adjoins the watering trough and fell face downward. NEEIJLE IN FOOT SEVEN YEARS. Seven years ago a needle was imbedded in the foot of Anna Clark, ago twelve, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Clark of Shelbyville, and It has given her much pain for the last year, but It worked its way out of the foot yesterday morning. When she stepped on the needle a physician removed the greater part of it, but a year ago the pain was almost unbearable and the foot was lanced. Poultices have been applied since that time and the remainder of the needle came out yesterday. KILLED SAVING BOY. In an automobile accident last night, the Rev. Samuel W.

The TIMES Will help you to Satisfy Uncle Sam in this Particular
Hammond Post Office By drection of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting 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 can cover much more territory in less time if not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mail are 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 mail In the absence of members of the household. They 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 or or near the end of the route at an earlier hourj 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 you 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 that is required is that your Coupons bear six consecutive numbers. i 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.
