WOLF LAKE PROJECT SAFE. It appears that our esteemed contemporary, thtj Calumet Record, is not quite sure of its premises when it questions the right of the Indiana Harbor Belt to Ub right of way along the west shore of Wolf lake. There is probably no community in this locality that is more concerned over the Wolfiake harbor project than the city of Hammond. It has been a dream for the pact twenty years that eventually Hammond will have the greatest harbor on the south shore of lake Michigan. Consequently any railroad activity that would tend to endanger this project would mest with the instant hostility of theipeople of Hammond. But the
Indiana Harbor Belt railroad is not regarded as -a menace to the development,
of Wolf river harbor. The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad has lines of track on both sides of this lake, and if there is anything that will bring about the early development of this lake as a great inland wintering harbor it will be the enterprise and wealth of the New York Central Lines, which are back of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad. Furthermore, that fact should be known that the acquisition of the right of way of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad on the west shore of Wolf lake is not a "grab.." Wolf lake is such a shallow body of water that the owners of riparian rights have actually surveyed their holdings to the center of the lake and own the land under the water as though there was not a drop of water in the lake. - The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad secured a long time lease of a right of way from these property owners. The railroad company is entirely within its rights in this matter; its legal claim to this right of way will unquestionably be established. . Aside from this question it must be apparent that the property on either side of Wolf lake will only be developed as dock property and will only become valuable for manufacturing sites when it has proper railroad facilities, and Lake county manufacturers have found the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad the most progressive, the most thoroughly equipped, and the best all around belt line in the region. Why, then, should the real friends of the Wolf lake harbor project be concerned when such a railroad has the foresight to anticipate the future and build several miles of tracks that surely will not be a paying proposition until the expected industrial development becomes a fact.

CONSERVATION FOR LAKE COUNTY,
Delegates to the recent National Conservation Congress at Kansas City have been notified by the president of the Indian.! branch of the national organization that the state association will hold a meeting at Indianapolis, next Saturday, October 28. It is desired that there be attendance from Lake couny as Lake county needs a branch association badly to put in practice many methods for the betterment of conditions in Lake county. There are
many things to do which will redound
earner and tarmer, and to their everlasting credit if done. That as many as
liossible attend this state meeting is known farmers. Lake county needs a of conservation, and this is the! time to

JAMES FINNERAN charges that railroad him to the penitentiary.
"It is the employers' association that is behind this prosecution," testified Finneran in Chicago yesterday. "There is absolutely no truth in this girl's fcharges," ' ; , . In other words, this fellow has said that the girls who accuse him. the patient Sisters of St. Francis, and other witnesses are lying. We. wonder who ninety-nine out of 100 people in Hammond will believe James Finneran or the Sisters of St. Francis.

Marshall In a recent speech said: "The administration of the criminal law cf Indiana is not satisfactory to the people of the state and there are three reasons why It Is not so. One is that it takes too long to catch a horse thief. The second is that it takes too long to get him to the penitentiary and the third Is that It takes too short a time to get him out of the penitentiary." Well it seems to us that Mr. Marshall does pretty well. He pardons them just about as soon as he can possibly do so. Times Pattern Department DAILY FASHION HINT. Misses' Waist.

FILLINGS FOR THE TEETH Gold l Usually Best for the Purpose but Other Material Often Are Used. Of all the materials used in the fillins of teeth, none other has won quite so universal regard as gold. We learn from history that U was perhaps tbe first substance to be used for this purpose, and while the manner of using t has changed, it still holds an Important place in the equipment of the dentist. The advantages that gold possesses as a filling material are many. It more nearly approaches the color of the teeth than any other metal; it can be eaedly placed in the cavity of a teeth so firmly as to prevent further decay; it is not affected by the saliva or the foods that we eat, and it does not discolor the tooth that Is filled. Many people have no other filling lq their teeth than gold, aftd with those who can afford It. and who desire it, it does very well. The usual method, however. Is to rely upon the judgment of the dentist as to which filling material is best adapted to each tooth- For instance, an average mouth may show gold fillings, amalgam fillings, gold inlays, porcelain inlays, crowns of various sorts and bridges, all serving a useful purpose, and placed according to the dentist's best Judgment. The usual location for the gold fill ing is the front teeth, where its durability and its freedom from staining render it valuable. Where the cavity is large and it would thereby be very noticeable, it would be better to use a porcelain or enamel filling, though as a rule they are not as durable. Many people in order to economize have their teeth filled with cement instead of gold, and while sometimes this may be necessary, yet as a rule It is poor economy, for gold is a permanent filling, wliile with the cheap cements wo may only hope for temporary relief. Some people show poor taste In try-: ing to have their teeth display zs much gold as possible, much after the style of the Jockey who sports a massive watch chain. Others carry their sensitive feelings too far the other way. and will not allow any gold in their mouth whatever, even if it is tat one thing needful to preserve the tooth. lioth these ejtrcraes are wrong, and the sooner we get to using better Judgment the better for our teeth, the shape of the tooth, its location, condition and other points enter into the question so largely, that after all the decision of tbe proper filling to use is purely a technical one.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAJV1EIJOIN
"Well, I would like to know what became of that quarter I just gave awa-,:' 1 heard a man say the other day. "The poor devil I grave It to swore hat he hadn't had anything to eat for wo days. Of course, he may have! wanted it ror a drink, or he may have mora money than I have, but what can you do when a man Bays he's starving? d rathar help ten men who didn't de serve It, than refuse one who was really hungry." I think the quandary in which this) man found himself is a very common 1 One. I don't believe there Is anvone ! who goes about much, but has often been asked for money to buy food with. and has wondered, as he gave it, if it would really be used for that purpose. Wherefore. I want to tell you of the man-who-thlnks' solution of this quandary. From the Salvation Army in the. city In which he lives, he procured a number of tickets, some good for a full meal snd some for a night's lodging at the array's headquarters. When anyone sk him for money for food of lodg ing, he gives him one of these tickets. If the suppliant is really hungry he presents the ticket and receives the meal or the lodging. At the end of each month the man-who-thinks settles with the Salvation Army for all tha tickets marked with his especial num ber which have been presented. In this way he is sure of never turning away anyone who really wants food, and at the same time of not giving money to professional beg gars. Doesn't the man-who-thinkr way ap peal to you as a rather clever solution of the difficulty?

ject of a man taking a woman's arm when on the street, coming hem from the theatre and so on? When the lady is old or there is a crowd, or is it raining, or the couple are engaged, it may be all right (though even then it seems to me she should take his arm); but in pleasant weather, when the streets are not crowded, nothing arouses my resentment like having a man take hold of my arm and 'walk ma ahead' faster, perhaps, than I care to go. As a general thing, after a man has done it once, I refuse further Invitations to go out with him, yet I think, it is done unconsciously, without mean
ing to give offense, and I know no way to stop it. "Seems to me a woman ought, literally, to 'set the pace' be free to step one way or the other, as she likes, and not be 'poked.'

If "my own Inimitable way" were half so inimitable as my correspondent's, I should have gladly complied with her request. As it Is, I feel quite justified in merely passing alopg the hint with the indorsement "Them's my sentiments, too." s By the way, I wonder that she omit ted to mention a similar masculine trick: that of "shoving" one up the curbstone by the elbow. When one is outte able-bodied it Is certainly infuriating to be thus "hoisted" up a perfectly ordinary step. As my correspondent says, I believe that this is done "unconsciously, and without meaning to give offense," but. I trust that every man who reads this will stop, look and reflect, and if he is an ofTender in this respect, offend no more. RUTH CAMERON. rest having been stolen.
