MASSACHUSETTS PREACHER SAXS HE HAS , CURE FOR LIARS: BUT CAN HE CURE THESE?

c ,m '" "j"T.rr Att"cei vo Kfflvs-

The Ananias Club will languish for lack of members if the Rev. Robert Swetkerath. professor of history and pedagogy at Holy Cross College. Wor

cester, Mass., can cure liars as he thinks he can. He told the Congress of Teachers In Boston that "the so-called confirmed liar is not a hopeless case, but may be cure by patience and sympathetic interest." The Rev. Swetkerath said It Is important to know what makes each Individual lie, because the treatment differs in different cases. He was speaking of young Munchausen Dr. Cooks, but a wider field is open to him. Can he cure a woman on the shady side of fifty of remarking casually, "Congratulate me, this is my twenty-eighth birthday?" How would he go about breaking the habit of thos addicted to such lies as these: "The doctor says my husband's red nose Is caused by skin affeetlon." "You are the only woman I ever loved." "That strange female you saw me with, precious. Is my partner's niece from Oklahoma. Vgly, Isn't she?" t "Yes. we covered the last fifteen miles In eight minutes, and you couldn't tell the auto was moving." Oh, yes, there's a wide field for the Rev. Robert Swetkerath.

and Gary which puts it up to these cities to push the road up to the proposed extension of Fifth avenue In Gary. If this Is done the government would no doubt give a permit for a stationary bridge to be built over the river, inasmuch as several stationary bridges are already constructed west of that point. This would make a shorf cut to Gary which Is badly needed. COMPANY MUST LIVE UP TO FRANCHISE City Council Meets at Crown Point to Discuss Telephone Business. (Special to Thb Times.) Grown Point, Ind., August 29. The city council met last evening at the council chambers to take up the Northwestern Telephone company matter and after debating the question decided to make the company live up to the terms of their franchise with the city. It was shown that the company had usurped their privilege In many instances, such as building their lines on streets where their grant did not allow and had also Installed phones In excess of the number granted in their franchise. As the general sentiment In Crown Point Is against the operation of two phone companies, and considering that the local exchange and the Northwestern company cannot come to terms of agreement, as has been advocated and ordered by the city council, it was deemed necessary to confine the latter company's operations by limiting them solely to the privilege granted in their franchise, to save further encroachment on the city. , The committee having the matter in hand have worked long and faithfully in an endeavor to be fair to the telephone corporation and still do justice to the city, and its citizens, who are not in favor of giving the, city phone privileges Into the hands of two telephone exchanges with their attendant increased cost of service, and the disfigurement of Crown Point streets with telephone poles and lines. . The city marshal was also Instructed to enforce all the ordinances now In effect and his operations will commence from today. It will be well for the citizens to read all the ordinances and live up to their requirements to save taking a dose of city court. COUNTING THE MAILFollowing the counting of all classes of United States mail a few months ago the order has gone out from the department that the employes of the post postof fice must count all of the second-class mail. This Is for the purpose of determining just what the cost is of sending magazines and periodicals through the has achieved in its Infancy what the Parks of Chicago did at maturity, every night bringing a new one, and so the crowds grow and grow.

mail. The mall that goes to newsdealers and newspaper agents Is exempted. Assistant Postmaster Otto Rabe stated today that the government has Issued an order that certain classes of mall are to be shipped by fast freight to a general distributing center, where they will be mailed and sent on to their destination. This mall will be known as the "blue tag" mail. W. B. Conkey has announced that In a few days he will have 212,000 catalogues to be mailed for the National Cloak and Suit company of New York city.

Return from Rochester. Chief Austgen and family returned yesterday afternoon from Rochester, Ind.; where he had spent the past two weeks with relatives and friends. The chief says he did nothing but sleep ad eat, and lived mostly on fruit which is plentiful there. Elks Meet Thursday. The Elks will hold their regular meeting Thursday evening, Aug. 31, adn all members are earestly requested to be present, as It is to be an Important meeting. The committee on the picnic will report and the financial returns will be given out. Many other Important matters will be taken up, work left over from the last meeting will also be disposed of. The- lodge will soon bold their regular Thursday meetinge which have been held only once a month during the warm weather. The routine work will be followed by a social hour and refreshments. Claims to be a Walker. 'Henry Shelton," the Cuban wonder, walked from Gary to Hammond this morning, making the trip In two hours and eighteen minutes. He will try and arrange with the labor day committee for a feature race either running or walking, which he holds many records. Recently phelton made a record at St. Louis In which he ran B0 miles In 6 hours and 18 minutes. Another where he had 100 hours to make ll miles and made the distance In 88 hours. These are only a few of his records, and is now training for a match next month. Assaulter Is Fined. The case of John Wlreminskl was tried before Judge Barnett in the city court this morning and was found guilty of assault and battery, receiving a fine of $5 and costs, amounting $15. Wlreminskl was arrested Sunday night at East Hammond when officers were called to stop a fight in which Wlreminskl and John Zeback, the complaining witness, were the principals. , It developed that Wlreminskl was drunk and boards at Zebach's homf Sunday night he came home and picked a quarrel with Zeback, who put him out of the house, and when on the street Wlreminskl pounced on Zeback for the second time. Both men received cuts and bruises about the head and it was necessary to call a physi cian. . Boxing Exhibitions.

"Been on your vacation?" asked the p. r. "Yes. I've been up through Canada." "How are the corn plasters selling?" "I've sold a lot of them. Honest to God, I have." "Well, what else.

Scene in "The Traveling Salesman."

Among the most delightful comedies seen In many years Is A. S. Stern's production of James Forbes' latest comedy, "The Traveling Salesman," which comes to the Orpheum, Monday (Labor day) matinee and night, with Robert E. O'Connor In the title rol. It was designated by the critics of New York as the most laughable comedy seen in years, which endorsment was confirmed by the HUNDREDS ARE SPENT ON JUNKET (Continued from Page 1.) spect a $25,000 piece of machinery which should pump 10,000,000 gallons of water daily are: "EpTt" la the Party. Mayor John D. Smalley, expert accountant and president of an insurance company. Adam R. Ebert, president of the board of public works; was a success years ago as a clgarmaker and Is president of a trust company now. John L. Rohde, member of the board board of public works; a success In the flour and-feed business; also successful politician. John Pascaly, councilman; tailor by trade and successful. Henry Whltaker, councilman. Is a success In the livery business. John Kane, councilman (formerly insurgent), was a saloonkeeper; retired from business. His record In the past has earned the pobrfquet "watchdog of the city treasury" for him. Henry Eggers, councilman; is a successful business man In Robertsdale. Being experts In their various lines, the city's representatives discussed the various features of the pump with which they are best acquainted. Thus Henry Whltaker, being a horseman, could tell his colleagues all about the horsepower in the pump. John Pascaly being a crank about good clothes, discussed the strength of the crank shaft. No one In the party "had anything on" Adam Ebert when the discussion turned to the counter balance weight. The strength of the steam chest was ably discussed by John Kajie, he having considerable experience with Ice chests when he was In the saloon business. John Rohde, In the feed business, enlightened those who cared to listen to him on the feed plpjes. And so th-e. conversation, skipped from one subject to another.

vestigations. and the topic Is surely a timely one here. The story of the play adheres to a plausible vein and is filled with a human interest that would make "The Third Degree" a success were it not the public teacher that it is. Notable in the cast are Franklyn Gale, Minnie Radcliffe, Charles Burnham, Neil Barrett, Harry Forsman, Kenneth Stuart, Wesley Todd and others. theater goers of New York, where the piece enjoyed an uninterrupted run of nine months. It is a play designed by Mr. Forbes, the author of "The Chorus Lady," as one intended principally for laughing purposes, and the management vouchsafe for "The Traveling Salesman" this guarantee, that it is unquestionably the best message of mirth and merriment ever seen in this city. cal knowledge of the Hammond visitors that they discussed the advisability among themselves of putting on a few thousand dollars worth of extras not stipulated in the contract In order to show their high appreciation for the official visit. Round trip tickets on the Michigan Central to Niagara Falls now sell for $19. Berths, meals and hotel accommodations are extra, however. Hammond taxpayers who expressed their regret this morning that the busy city officials should have torn themselves away from their private business for the public weal, suggested that the city offit-ials might have hired an expert mechanic engineer, whom they could have sent to Buffalo to supervise the construction. Purdue university has a number of good men, and good men are to be found In Chicago. The cost to the city would probably have been the same, and the city officials would not have had to sacrifice their private business for, the rtime being. It has been suggested also by taxpayers that $300 In quite a bit of j money for even a city like Hammond to throw away. Famous Guth Candies at L. Cox & Co.
