SUPPOSE THE TRUTH WERE TOLD. "Why don't you tell nothing but the truth?" writes a friend of an East Chicago couple, married the other day. Wonder what would really have happened had we told the TRUTH about that wedding? Probably we would have had the same experience that a Missouri editor had. He announced he would try for one week to tell the truth and he is still in the hospital. He didn't get past the first day. The following item appeared in one issue and now the boys are getting out the papei This is what he Baid: "Married, Miss Sylphia Rhode to James Cannaham, last Sunday evening at the Baptist church. The bride was an ordinary town girl who don't know any more than a rabbit about cooking and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a duck. The groom is an up-to-date loafer, has been living off the
old folks all his life and don t amount to shucks anyhow. They will have a
hard time while they live together."

INTEREST IN CONCRETE HOUSES.
It is possible that nation wide interest may be Eoon attracted to the concrete houses which the American Sheet & Tin Plate Company has started
tobuild for Us employes in Gary. In all there will be some 300 dwellings,
costing three-quarters, of a milliondollars.
These concrete houses are toT)e quite unique inasmuch as they will be concrete from foundation to the topmost window sill in the attic. The floors will be concrete, the walls will be concrete and so will, the ceilings.
In other words these homes are to be the famous "poured" houses which Inventor Edison has been working on. Forms for the houses are built, the teteel is slapped up, the concrete poured and when the forms are removed
you have a house. '
For more than a year the company has been making experiments. It now
looks as if it has secured a practical form. Before long it will he possible
to build a two-story residence in a couple of days and the time is not far
distant when the workmen can get a $3,000 house for 51,500 as the result of
this method of building.

OF COURSE THE PAPERS ARE TO BLAME. With all the wind work the Hammond papers have sent forth this summer concerning mad dogs, shooting the critters, and muzzling them, we noticed more than a dozen along Hohman street, last Sunday, that were neither shot, mad. nor muzzled. Possibly they give them Sundays off from the regular rules. Crown Point Star. It is rather unusual to see the genial editor of the Star so peevish. Probably the loss of the ball game made him feel like handing out a rap to some one. Of course the newspapers of Hammond are to blame because he saw a dozen unmuzzled dogs as he sped south in his automobile. Editor Wheeler evidently thinks that the Hammond newtpapers go around tieing up pups on the Lord's day and neglect their church duties.
PAVE STATE LINE STREET. Again we call attention to the fact that although State Line street was opened to Plummer avenue at great expense to the property owners on both sides of the line, that this expenditure of money has been positively useless for the reason that the street is not paved.
Last fall It was thought that the street would be paved this spring, this Epring it was thought that the street would be paved thi3 summer and now there is only a forlorn hope that the street will be paved this fall. The difficulty lay in the fact that it requires joint action on the part of the village board of WTest Hammond and the city council of Hammond to determine the kind of paving and to set the date for the simultaneous beginning of the work. The matter has been unduly delayed on account of the unsettled conditions in West Hammond, but the property owners on both sides of State Line street should remember that a sandy street is just as useless a purpose of traffic as the Platte river would be to an ocean steamer.

ABOl'T SCHOOL VENTILATION. Editor TiMEs: The time is approaching when the younger generations will be occupied with exacting school duties and at this point I would like to drop a thought In regard to ventilation ot school rooms. It has been my observation that not a few people realize the necessity of fresh air in either sleeping, working or study rooms. The distinction between the beneficiary of such and the victim of second-hand air is very apparent. In observing different conditions it is my conclusion that the schools are deficient in their attention to this important matter. Complaints have come ffom children who were refused ventilation when the temperature wa far above normal, simply because the teacher didn't know when she was roasted, and it has been remarked to rhe that the windows in a certain school were kept closed day in ahd day out, during the cold weather. Not a great deal of knowledge of hygiene would convince anyone that it would be absolutely un
sanitary for 15 or 20 pupils to remain
n a room Six hours, breathing exhala
tions from the whole, including thd mists from sneezing and loughlng. In
view of this is it any wonder slcknei-s is quite prevalent among school children?
It Is the duty of parents to guide the
physical as well as the mental side of their children, and they should be care
ful to observe whether or not the teachers give tie matter of ventilation
anv consideration, ren montns scnooi-
ing Is a drain as well as a strain upon youthful bodies and the environments should be the very best possible. Hop
ing theso few thoughts may find lodg
ment, I am, respectfully, J. C. M1LLIKEK. 11 40 Monroe street.'
