No matter how uninviting it looks now and if it can be had at reason able prices he who buys land in the Calumet region these days will reap a big harvest sometime between now and five years. I Many predict that the next big boom will be in? the dunes between Miller and Dune Park. That there will be a great industrial development In that wilderness Booner.xr later is quite cor cest, but whether it will be the scene; of the next boom is hard to tell now. Of one thing, when booms do come, Hammond will get a few of them. REAL HOME BUILDERS. While the people of the entire Calumet region are resorting to every re source to build houses for the thous ands of people, who will come into it in the next year or so, the influence of the building and loan associations In providing homes for the people should not be forgotten. THE TIMES is the only local paper which, from year to year, compiles statistics showing the progress of these co-oper ative home building associations. The figures .that were printed last night show that the building and loan associations of Hammond have 2,968 members who hold 20,951 shares, which when matured, will be worth $2,095,100. This paper is willing to give these associations all of the free advertising they want for the reason. that they make good responsible citizens of Ir responsible ones. It has gone to a great deal of trouble to get their sta tistics, but the trouble is worth while. Philadelphia is a prosperous and con tented city because the employes of such concerns as the Baldwin Locomo tive works own their own homes and settle down to quiet, good citizenship. The building and loan associations of Hammond are la the hands of competent, honest, efficient business men who are not paid salaries at all com mensurate with the work and respon sibilities of their positions. They do this work from a spirit of civic duty and the reports to the ditor of state indicate liow painstaking their efforts have been. The building and loan associations are the financial rocks of Gilbraltar of the city and are real constructive forces. WHAT BECAME OF THEM? Some idea of the shifting character of Gary's population is to be gained irom conditions reported at tne steel works and blast furnace An average force of 6,000 are employed there. Yet last year 14,000 men were hired. 'inousands of these either quit, were laid off or ere discharged. Probably two-thirds of the 6,000 overage force are permanent employes. This would indicate that 14.000 occupied the other 2,000 jobs, or that the transients were changed seven times in a year's time. BEWARE PNEUMONIA. The Lafayette Courier preaches the following health sermon, which may be applied to Hammond, East Chica go or any other city as well as La fayette, and is worthy of serious con sideration: - The prevalence of dread pneumonia, in this city, just now, may well be an occasion of some anxiety for all. Now, as ever, preventive medicine is . the Desx medicine, meumonia is now recognized as in some degree a con tagious disease, though perhaps not as readily contagious as some other dis eases which might be named. But contagious it is, and no one should un necessarily expt se himself to it. Pneumonia is one or the diseases of the respiratory organs, and, as one might expect, plenty of pure air is a very cneap antiseptic. tveep warm, of course, but not by storing the heated air of your. home office or workshop! for days at a time. It may cost more to heat fresh air from the outside but that is cheap than being sick. After you are confident you have done all In your power to secure a constant supply of germ destroying oxygen then the added precaution of occa sionally spraying the nose and throat with an antiseptic solution, say a dilute solution of glycothymolene, easily obtainable, would be well. At any rate, give a little intelligent thought

to the matter of preserving yourself, and your household," from" the prevalent diseagea of, the respiratory tract in winter. These diseases come in

winter because our habits of life are so different than in summer. This fact ought to be a serviceable hint. The percentage of fatalities in cases of pneumonia is not as great as it once was, but it is still very dangerous. Anyway, you don't want it. YET IT IS TRUE. In commenting on the shocking Szuymanski story from Whiting, car ried in these columns the other day, the Indianapolis Star says: "The story of the woman at Whit ing, a Mrs. Szuymanski, who, crazed by starvation and the suffering of her five hungry children, was about to kill them all, sounds almost incredible. It is difficult to believe that a mother in a prosperous community would see her children crying for. food with making her wants known. But she was a foreigner. perhaps unable to speak Eng N&h, and in a strange land did not know where to turn. Besidae, ebe had her pride, doubtless, and would rather die than beg. : It is not always the peoPie who are the most needy who are the Quickest to. ask for help." DETERMINATION. It is the determination to succeed in spite of the lack of advantages that is at the root and base of every true -suc cess,, and it is because of this fact that opportunity knocks at the door, of every man. There is much that may be said with truth, of the power and influence of heredit, though which men and wo men are cursed for generations by the sins of their forefathers or blest by their virtues, but heredity Itself cannot furnish cords strong enough to bind forever the hands of the man or woman who is determined to over come it. The stuttering Demosthenes be came the world's greatest orator. Martin Luther, a miner's son, in the days when to be King was all, and beggar nothing, became the most in fluential man in Europe. Andrew Carnegie, taken from school at the age of 8 to earn his daily bread, has lived to give away $140,000,000, that others may have the educational advantages that were denied him. James Gordon Bennett, founder and editor of the New York Herald, and one of the few literary men of the United States who has ever been able to pay his debts, failed five times be fore success came. . But these men had determination that's the thing. It is worth more than all the other advantages of the world combined. SOMEBODY has started that old wheeze agan about coal dust being beneficial to the health and you'll no-

MERCHANTS hitherabouts are still I handing out their hard earned money to strangers with certified checks which are not certified at all WOMEN adore idols, but you can't help but notice Just the same that when the idols prove human, the girls are stronger than ever for them. "LORIMER Denounces Chicago Tribune" sajs a head line. Wrell, if anyone can blame the blonde senator something must be amiss. THIS cold weather seems to bj making the Crown Point baseball fans a little restive about the pennant they haven't yet been awarded. THE divorce statistics in the Lake circuit court certainly show that there is a great deal of unhappy married life going on about here. I FASHION has an interesting story I about a new waist protector. The

best waist protector is one you can't

buy for money. WE cannot help but note that the cold weather has been especially se vere on several sets of New Year's resolutions. THIS sudden Roosevelt boom may turn out to be a fizzle after all.

Probably he chews his stogie and Is finnlcky about keeping it trimmed. GREAT heavens! When will our friends and enemies cease sending us calendars? YOU probably think it Strang that the Chicago Daily News' list of "Seven Notable Ruins" does not include Mayor Knotta' gubernatorial ambitions. PRESIDENTS may come and go, dy nasties may be shaken and kings-hurled from their thrones, but Alderman ' Castleman remains as constant as the northern star. L.

Well, Hestnery made a couple of hundred on a real estate flyer at Indiana Harbor two days ago and since then we heard nothing of him nor the water wagon crew. We have Sheriff Grant, Chief Margin, Chief Austgen and Chief McCormick hot on the trail. Mme. Simone is to appear shortly In New York in "The Return from Jeru-, salem." by Maurice Donney.
