SOME GLORY FOR CROWN POINT.
You simply have to doff your collective chapeaux to Miss Crown Point,
In the athletic line in Lake county nothing can touch her. Look at the stand
ing of the Northern Indiana league, Crown Point with a Gotch toe hold on
first place. Sunday she defeated Gary, Monday she trimmed Indiana Har
bor at baseball. She took the measure of the Gary tennis cracks Ju6t as an
athletic interlude. Then Miss Crown Point kindly loaned her star pill-twister, Ilenning, to Gary for a trip to Pittsburg and he slew the ball team there
ail the credit going to Gary.
Down at the county seat they are getting ready to put a football team in the field. Look out for them. Crown Point with a measly little 3.000 population has more athletic victories to her credit than any town or city in
Northern Indiana.
Yet at Indiana Harbor yesterday a callow youth in a brown suit called
the plucky little band of rooters from the Hub "rubes," "jaspers," etc., and
showed what a fine little plnhead he was.

CAR-BUILDING SITUATION IMPROVES.
Some time ago THE TIMES pointed out hat as a result of the fact that
many of the railroads had paid dividends out of depreciation that their roll
ing stock was In a bad state of repair. The purpose of this was to show that
the railroads must buy new equipment.
In February, 1907, there was a shortage of over 150,000 cars and only a trifling surplus. Tae panic hit thts country in October of that year and before Christmas thatvremarkable shortage had been converted into a surplus
Since 1907 the surplus has always exceeded the shortage by a big mar
gin. For instance, in April of 1908, the surplus of cars exceeded 400,000.
This surplus dropped to a little over 100,000 cars In October of that year, but
the shortage did not increase appreciably.
The situation improved somewhat In 1909. on Jan. 6 tnere was a sur-
plus of nearly 350,000 cars, but along about crop moving time in the latter
part of September, the surplus dropped to less than 50,000 cars and the short age. for once in three years, was equal to the surplus. But the record-break
Ing crops of that year were responsible for this condition.
Iast year the surplus never exceeded 150,000 cars and there was a small shortage all during the year. It was the first since 1907 that a shortage In
ears was pronounced.
The year 1911 started in, with a surplus of over 100,000 cars and this in
creased until March 15 when it reached over 200,000 cars. Then began
gradual decline until now in crop moving time the surplus is down to 108,000 cars, the lowest figure since the report for Dec. 21, 1910. It would seem that the great reduction In the surpluses during the past two years is attributable to the fact that the railroads have not been replenishing their rolling stock. And the diminishing surplus probably also accounts for the fact that the railroads are coming into the market for more new equipment every day. The car-building situation may be said to have improved. ' TWO PUBLIC MEN GONE. Within the past eight or nine months there passed away elsewhere two men who helped to place Miller on the map and keep It In print. Saturday . in Denver, Malachy Hogan, the famous prizefight referee, and once In the
ring himself, passed away. There are many in Lake county who still re
member Hogan and the Miller fight days.
The other man was Octave Chanute, known as the father of modern aviation. It was his experiments in the Miller dunes that are responsible for the success of the Wright brothers. As long as aviation exists Miller will always be known. Every modern library has at least two or three
books on the flight at Miller in '96 and no public library is without aviation Jiooks and every aviation book tells of the experiments In Miller.
The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTtl CAMERON
Gets $250,000 from Gates at Graduation
Said the girl in love to the man she loved: ' I don't think you care so much for me as you lsed to. Just think! You were in town all day yesterday and you didn't call me up. You know you would never have done that six months ago." Said the man in love to the girl he loved: "Why dear, I thought I Just told you that I was with Rushwnrth every single minute. Tou know I was trying to put through that big sale, and that I didn't dare let him get out of my sight for a minute." Reiterated the girl in love: "I think you would have managed somehow six months-ago before you were so sure of me." Retorted the man In love: "Tou didn't use to be so abominably unreasonable. Are you always going to bo
like this?"
Flushed the girl in love: "Yes,
when I have so much cause to be. Why? Don't you think you can stand it?"
unkind words on their Hps and heart
breaks in their hearts, for" to be wroth with one we love doth work like madness in the brain."
And all for what?' AH Just because the man in love
didn't realise that what the girl in love wanted when she said he didn't
love her as much as he used to was reassurances fond, foolish, reiterated, convincing reassurances. And because, instead of these, he gave her cold, logical, sensible reasoning. Is there I wonder was there ever a couple who did not have at least one quarrel along these lines? Can't you imagine Eve saying to Adam. "When we lived in the garden you used to be with me all the time, and now I seldom see you except at meals, a don't think you love me the way you used to." And, of course, Adam answered, "But, my dear, you know I didn't have any work to do then, and now I have to work for my living. I think, you are unreasonable." And poor little Eve, who Just wanted to be told that he loVed her quite as
much, if not more, than ever, went off into the nearby glade to cry her heart out at the coldness of his tone, and Adam- went back to his work berating the unreasonableness of woman. All of which might have been avoided if Adam had lust taken Eve right up in his arms and said, "But, dearest, you know I love you more every day. You are the one woman in the world to me." And now, you people who still think
I m a man masquerading can doubt any longer?
Would I have known this if I weren't a woman? RUTH CAMERON.
