THE RAILWAY RATE QUESTION.
THE TIMES has refrained from an expression of opinion on the question of the proposed rate increase in the Chicago switching of from $6.00 to $9.00 a car for a minimum of 30,000 pounds until it could get sufficient information on the subject and now bases Its opinion only on such facts as were brought out at the meeting of the Hammond Manufacturers' association where both sides of this intricate question were presented. It appears that this increase carries with it the advantage of being able a car load of freight from any one of the cities within this district to the terminal of the road on which the freight originates and includes the cost of transhipment to one or more other railroads without any extra , charge. In the opinion of many business men this will be a distinct advantage to the average shipper. It Is estimated that fully 90 per cent of the freight which originates In this part of the Calumet region is destined to points beyond Chicago and in these cases a great saving is effected. Making freight rates is about as difficult a matter as the making of a tariff schedule. No matter how equitable a railway rate may be it Is sure to hit a few shippers, and this must be expected. The aim in making railway tariffs, as in making import tariffs, should be
to do the greatest good to the greatest number. It apepars that the rail
roads, with the sanction of the interstate commerce commission, have at tempted to do this.
"We have Invested millions of dollars in the Calumet region and must 'invest millions more," said a high official of one of the principal lines of the
region, "and as the prosperity of the shipper is inseparably connected with
our own prosperity we certainly would do nothing to Jeopardize his interests
Considerable weight must be given to this statement. When the fact is
known that the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad has spent hundreds of thous
ands of dollars in locating new Industries on Its lines and in building switch
tracks with which to serve them, it must be apparent that it would not be
a party to ruinous rate making that would drive Industry from this locality.
The effect of the meeting of the Manufacturers' association was to modify . the opinions of many substantial business men in this locality as to the hurtful effect of the proposed change In rates, and it is believed that all opposition to the proposed rate will be dropped. The question of the increase of from 7 to 10 cents per hundred on less than carload lots Is entirely another question. It is a matter that directly effects the small shipper and apparently carries with it no reciprocal advantages. The Hammond Business Men's association should approach' this subject 1 in the same open manner that the Manufacturers' association took up Its ; rate question and unless the small shipper is convinced that the rate Is
equitable "he should take steps to remonstrate against it before the interstate commerce commission. GARY IN DUPLICATE. The recent forecast of THE TIMES that the United States Steel corporation would develop a new business district in its second subdivision, which, Jf not rivaling the commercial centers of the first subdivision, would serve as the business center for the new . residential district in northwest Gary, -has turned out to be true. Yesterday's sale of business lots to John A. Brennan at the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Ambridge street lends confirmation to the pre
diction. Mr. Brennan obtains the first business property in the second subdivision. In fact, he is the first purchaser of any of the lots, for no resi
dential property of the twenty-seven streets and avenues that comprises the second subdivisoan has as yet been placed on the market.
Terms of Mr, Brennan's purchase contract provide that he must erect a two-story business block costing $35,000 and have it completed before the
.year ends. There will be six store rooms and upper apartments in the build ing he plans. His will be the first business property in northwest Gary.
Fifth avenue and Ambridge street is destined to be an important corner in the city. It will be second only to Broadway, three miles away. The
same army of men that comes from the steel mill gates down Broadway will liave a duplicate In the numbers that will leave the American Bridge com
pany's plant and pass down Ambridge street. All of this development is taking place within pistol shot of the town of Clark and a year ago the
region thereabouts was a howling wilderness. Another year will see it peo-
pled with at "least 3,000 people.

Points For Mothers
Plenty of Sleep. From the age of 5 to 7 twelve hours of sleep are necessary, and until 9 years of age there should be eleven hours, which length of time should be continued until the age of 14, when the sleep may be reduced to ten hours. Children of a nervous, sensitive dlsposion should be allowed an even longer time, as should children of all ages when body growth seems specially rapid. Even the time of year makes a difference to the amount of sleep required, and all children should be allowed to sleep longer during winter than during the summer. Children who suffer from great drowsiness need medical attention. Slight drowsiness demands attention to the state of the bowels, which may be constipated. Great wakefulness is likewise a serious matter and may be
tlful under any circumstances either In winter's cold or summer's heat. Rigors of climate improve it. It Is not like the coddled child, which has Its spe

It is worth while to make an effort for each child to sleep' alone, and on no account should a young child be allowed to sleep with a very old person. A Child's Diet. The. famous French dietician, Gautler, is on record as saying that after the first three years of a child's life the addition of muscular tissue may and ought to be given to him In a very moderate quantity. Roast mutton or lamb, beef, minced
ham, eggs in
rice.
oughly cooked fruits, stewed potatoes, green vegetables and cocoa all of these are suitable. He states that the exclusive use of milk tends to make fat, lymphatic, puffy children, capable of standing little, i This is further accentuated by the abuse of aweetened dishes. It is also necessary at this age to avoid giving foods which are highly seasoned and too much salted. Fat fish (herring and salmon), dry flehi (salted or smoked), mushrooms, Crustacea or vinegar and spices, dry, raw, unripe or too acid fruits are unsuitable. Fermented cheese, alcoholic liquors of all decriptions and coffee and tea should not be allowed. The Mollycoddled Baby. A truly beautiful baby looks beau-
