WHAT DOES THE STEEL COMPANY THINK? " It would undoubtedly be interesting to know what the United States Steel corporation Gary's progenitor thinks now about its ambitious young offspring. We trust that Gary's present escapade is not too inconsequential for that august body yclept the board of directors to consider. An official of the corporation at the time of the election conspiracy cases on being asked what was the matter with Gary, answered with a sign and said, "Oh, I guess these are what may be called some more of Gary's growing pains." One wonders how long these growing pains are going to last.

It is absolutely ridiculous to insist

that these recurrent conditions are necessary. It is absolutely idiotic to blame politics for all Gary's troubles. Where then is the root of the evil?

HAMMOND'S GREATEST OPPORTUNITY.

For years that portion of Hammond, south of the Nickel Plate tracks and lying between the state line and Calumet avenue, has been hindered in its growth by the fact that it was cut in two by the Erie yards, shops and

coal storage warehouses. So accustomed have the people of Hammond become to this municipal disfigurement that they overlook the fact that it ruins the appearance of the city, prevents intercommunication between the eastern and western sections of the city and is largely responsible for the

fact that one is compelled to travel tion of Hammond to the other.

The Erie ralliwad occupies 100 or more acres of land in the heart of the city of Hammond. Upon this land has been built Its yards where puffing.

smoking switch engines move back houses, where locomotives are cleaned warehouse from emanates clouds of Proprty values in the vicinity of been reduced to nothing account of

which might be an important thoroughfare, has become a blind street and

the map of Hammond has been made a crazy quilt. Recent developments, which indicate that the Erie railroad has purchased a large amount of acreage north of Crown Point for terminal yard purposes, give the people of Hammond the greatest opportunity for real constructive city building that they have ever had. Hammond may yet be made a closely knit, beautiful city In spite of all of its drawbacks. The business men and property owners of the city should get together at once and organize for the purpose of eliminating the Erie yards and Bhops from the city. If all the territory that this railroad occupies can be built up with residences and now business streets can be opened up to the southward the City of Hammond will be given the most tremendous Impetus that it ever had. The Erie railroad may abandon this property voluntarily, but it should be guided in its action by what the people of Hammond want. If a syndicate of progressive Hammond business men could arrange to take over this property and subdivide It in accordance with some rational scheme of city building it would not only afford a splendid investment to those who went into the syndicate, but it would lead to such tremendous building activity that the whole city would benefit. In fact the matter is of such great importance that Mayor Smalley would be warranted in appointing a commission of business men to work out a plan for the vacating and replatting of this property and submit it to President Underwood of the Erie railroad for his consideration. Some action should be taken at once for it is possible that the railroad officials may now be maturing plans for the use of this property that would be prejudicial to the interests of the city as a whole.

REAL ESTATE AN ASSET. Real estate in Lake county, particularly in the northern part, is a valuable asset. In many cases lt is a gold mine. People who give foolish options on their realty are not doing a wise thing. People who invest their money in lands outside of Lake county are doing a' still more unwise thing. There Is not a section of the United States today that has better prospects than Lake county. The next few years will witness unparalleled activity in Lake county real estate. There is no question about it. Get all the real estate you can and hold it no matter where It is in Lake county. Instances where property owners have let go of valuable land and lived to regret it are many around this locality. Hang on to your real estate, and get more of it if you can.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB of Gary refused to so on record against Mayor Knotts, because such an action would "show prejudice." Lady-like consideration of this Eort somehow inspires the idea that it is based on something other than a desire to be fair and impartial. Possibly Tom knows something about the business leaders of the "model city." Fort Wayne News This may now be expected from all over the county.

MINISTER SAYS there will be body bribes St. Peter to give him a Stand that politics will not be rung

that Gary can't grow without pains

great distances to get from one por and forth night and day. It3 round and repaired and the coal storage coal dust, are positively objectionable, the Erie property in Hammond have

these unpleasant features. Sohl street

no politics in Heaven. Then if some seat to the golden chorus, we under in as an excuse. Are we right, elder?

R A NDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

A FIRST class aviator's expenses are about $900 a day. . That's living high, isn't it? THE less talking you do now, Chairman Lee, the more you will do after awhile. IT Is now Mayor Schlicker's turn to set on the fence and watch Mayor Knotts go by. A BRIBERY case is no case to see any mawkish sentiment any more than a murder case. THE people have lots of confidence in the,, country's stability, even though Wall; street hasn't. - BET a Ben Davis that one Judge Hanley of Rensselaer won't be asked to try the bribery cases. - AFTER all, you can hardly blame the Gary Commercial club for want-. ing to stay out of the mess. ANOTHER woman has taken out a license to fly and a lot of them will fly without taking out any license. MRS. Upton Sinclair and her dirty tramp have quit talking so that is another thing to be thankful for. - INDIANA woman is trying to get a

divorce because her husband is toojisss he established i -ally newspaper

wealthy. How blessed some husbands are. THE county editor is accepting wood on subscription, which is the surest little sign of winter that we know. THE socialists in LaPorte county are to have a newspaper and seem to have beaten their brethren in Lake county to it. NEWSPAPER publisher who made money out of the business, has solved the problem of drawing blood from a turnip. AUTOISTS are complaining about broken pop bottles on Indiana boulevard. Well, an autotists is a human being, isn't he? BEST thing for Governor Marshall to do now that Champ Clark has joined the Chautauqua brigade is to go and do likewise, GROSS work down in central Indi ana. Gang trying to kill the Marshall presidential boom. Looks like shameful case of infanticide. ArTKli Jay Frank Hanly gets through with his "million-fingered shame," he might sell it to a dime museum for d centipede. CONTEMPORARY says that Sena tor Stephenson, of Wisconsin, is not to be blamed for his name Isaac, but that his long whiskers are his own fault. - - OTTO Borman declares that he would pay a good price for any piece of real estate, but wouldn't think of giving $5,000,000 for Mona Lisa, Neither would we. GARY official charged with bribery, says they make him tired and he never had a headache before. Per haps he always has a headache the morning after. WHts a man nas oeen married a few months he thinks he understands all about women. After a few years slip by he knows he doesn't under stand them. v AT Myrtle Reed's funeral souvenir hunters stripped the house. Too bad that some of them can't have the op portunity of taking souvenirs from the interior of a cell. POLICEMAN just defeated cham pion of United States In a revolver match. Wonder if he couldn't get a rise out of Chief Martin of Gary or Chief Austgen of Hammond? e - THE Marquis of Queensbury Is one chap that seems to make his living mighty easy, but we don't believe it will last long for him. At least he doesn't titivate the profession very much. PEOPLE who live in Korea can tell whether a man is married or not by looking at his hair. Why go to Kor ea? Can't you tell whether a man is married or not here by looking at his hair? FORT Wayne preacher says that ninety per cent of men who go into business fail. When he has figured out the percentage of men who go into the ministry to fail, we shall be glad to print the figures.

"THIS IS 3JY S21SO BIRTHDAY" Gilbert M. Hitchcock. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Omaha editor and former member of Congress, was born in Omaha September 18, 1859. He was educated in the public schools of his native city, supplemented by two years' study in Germany and a law course at the University of Michigan from the law department of which he graduated in 1881. For four years af er his admission to the bar he engaged tin the practice of law in Omaha. In in that city and ever since has been its ditor and publisher. Mr. Hitchcock as been active In politics for , many ears and has long been one of ths eaders of the Democratic party in Nebraska. He was elected to the FiftyIghth Congress, defeated for re-elec-ion to the Fifty-ninth Congress, elect. d to the Sixtieth Congress, and re lected to the Sixty-first Congress rom which he retired last March, LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINAL Artificial Teeth Now Are Made to Suit th Wearer In Color and Shapo. We do net ... a, r tlflcial teeth today as .we did twenty years ago, since it has been learned that there Is no substitute that will equal the natural organs. In the time of our grandfathers, it a tooth ached it was immediately extracted, and it was a common sight to see many people going about with a large number of teeth out. So much was this the case that it became a matter of alarm among some of the scientists lest the human race was to become toothless Nowadays, with improved methods, there is little excuse for anyone to lose a single tooth.

In those mouths where only a fewlat a trial In Indianapolis by a witness

teeth are lost, and bridgework can-1 not be used, it is desirable to use the partial Elate. This can be used without the extraction of any more teeth. It Rlmr.lv fills ir, tho ... o..,. the loss of the teeth which have already been removed. If these plates are carefully fitted and the adjoining teeth well matched, they will do very well In the matter Of appearance. When there are very few natural teeth fa the mouth, and thes In hart condition, it is often better to remove all the remaining teeth and have full plates inserted. EsDeclallv is this true where the gums are badly dis eased, and the teeth are loosened by j pyorrhea. On the extraction of the teeth this disease usually disappears. ithln the last few years there have been many Improvements in the process of making nlates. eeneciallv in process of making plates, especially in the method of fakirs' tho Imnrocclnn r . V . . 1. j e . ui me uiuuiu, hiiu OI arranging me teeth. The scientific nrlnciules under lying the movement of the jaw have been worked out, with the result that new apparatus and new moulds of teeth were required. This anatomical articulation, as it is called, produces far better results than the old process There is greater ability to thoroughly chew the food, the teeth fit better and are much better in appearance In the making of artificial teeth, rnrp dhnuM KA rkH.Aw. in baIaIm. the proper form and color of the teeth to be used. Patients often d.mnnd to be used. Patients often demand small, white, even teeth, hoping thus j to improve their appearance. The re-; suit is likely to happen in such cases that the teeth present a ghastly ap pearance. The color of the teeth and the form depend largely upon the col or of the hair and eyes, and other characteristics. The eize should cor respond to the size of the jaw. Many people imitate quite successfully their natural teeth by having the artificial teeth Slightly irregular, as were their own teeth before thev wr lost rrnnrrirtt wt. Nr.. t. , uu.v.

The second accident resulting rrom coming Into contact with a live wire occurred at Princeton Friday, the vlctlm being Dorothy Munler, S years old. While on her way to chool sne caugnt hold of a broken telephone wire and received a shock that resulted in her serious injury. The accident is believed to have been due to the passing of a traction car, which In some manner made a circuit when the little girl caught hold of the wire, as tests made later showed no curret. The child will reover. The first accident occurred Thur,. day when Melvin Cooper years 0 . barely escaped with his life after tak ing hold of a wire that was crossed with an electric current.

The so-called "grandfather clause" cases were called for hearing today before Judge Cotteral Jn the federal court. The defendants are Jack Bcall and Jack Gulnn In Kingfisher county, who are under federal indictment for refusing negroes the right to vote for congressmen at the last election by enforcing the grandfather clause provision of the state constitution against them.

I most thoroughly agree as to the advisability of such a course, so long and only so long, as he allows the thread to guide him and not to drag him: so long, and only so long, as ha knows when he will gain most by following out that plan. , A well-known English essayist who believes that the greatest gOd can be gotten out of life by having some definite program for the day, nevertheless has the sense to point out that to treat our program with exactly the right amount of deference, to live with not

too much and not too little elasticity. Is scarcely the simple matter It may appear to be inexperienced. He evidently had met people like Mrs. ij., for he goes on to say, "I know men whose lives are a burden to themselves and a distressing burden t their relatives and friends because they would worship a dally program as a fetich. 'Oh, no," I have heard tha martyred wife exclaim, 'Arthur always takes the dog out at g o'clock, and begins to read at 8:45. So It's quite out of the question that we should, etc., etc' And the note of absolute finality in inai plaintive voice reveals the unsuspected tragedy of a career." The folly of going to such an extreme Is surely as great as the folly ef the man who will never make any definite and systematic plans. The wise men and women are those who have definite programs for their time, but who always remember that the program exists for them, not they for the program. RUTH CAM E RON.
