WASHING IN SCHOOLS.

That esteemed lady, Mrs. Ella Flagg

Young of Chicago, she of syncopated

pronoun silliness, has again broken out

badly with publicity by advocating the

teaching of laundering in the Chicago

public schools. Her plans are to be

tried in one school and a course in laundering will be required of every

girl graduate. This is modern education with a sad

eyed vengeance. It, of course, will not be a success. Parents do not send their daughters to school nowadays to learn how to chase a shirt up and down

a wash board. If a mother wants her girl to wash clothes, she knows that

the home Is the proper place for in

struction and practice.

It rather looks, at this distance, as

AMERICA'S THREE LEAPING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN POSE FOR PHOTOGRAPH TOGETHER

A COURT EPISODE. If the facts regarding the newest

West Hammond scandal are true the expected has happened and the Miss Brooks has at last emmeshed a number of the chief conspirators against the community in a manner that will

make it very embarrassing for them.

While there are some brainy men

back of the clique that has been carrying things with a high hand in West

Hammond, the pawns with which they

have been playing are exceedingly

ignorant.

It is not surprising then that the

time would" come sooner or later when these Ignorant stool pigeons would

become seriously involved. They will have to suffer, while the men who have

made them the goat will probably escape.

If the facts regarding the attempt

on the part of Attorney Atwood to deceive the court are true, proceedings

to disbar him should be started at

once. Too many Chicago lawyers

have been guilty of mal-practlce in the courts there to permit such a flagrant case to escape unnoticed.

TIME TO STOP IT. No doubt the county was shocked

when It learned that two dignified Whiting barristers upset the traditions of Squire Atchisons' dispensary

of justice by hurling coal at each other

following a quarrel. Luckily the

precious anthracite landed on and

smashed the chandelier. What might

have happened had the missies struck

the court's dome of thought is hard

to tell.

If the combatants had hurled bricks

or chairs the incident wouldn't have

attracted attention. But the promis-

cous way in which they handled anthracite suggests that the , pair may

have been successfully dabbling in Calumet real estate and that they are enjoying the thrills of extravagance that are said to follow real estate speculation. )

LIBRARY ATTENDANCE.

Township Scherervllle

Not enough people in the cities of

the Calumet region are availing them-

School I selves of the public library. This is

evidenced by the fact that in Ham

mond only 1,779 persons out of 25,000 in the city were borrowers of books at

the library. Nearly two hundred of

these availed themselves of. .the branches at Gibson and Robertsdale,

leaving a bare 1,600 for the city of

Eagle Creek and Wlnfleld Townships Hammond proper. The fault doe3 not

lie with the library or Its manage

ment as is again evidenced by the fact that 1,800 persons took out more than

29,000 books during the past year.

They realize and appreciate the value

of the library. The total attendance

andw as a matter of fact it is practl

cally the same persons that have by

repeated visits, made these numbers

as large as they are. , '

So it appears that limited as the

Hammond library is in funds and ac

commodations, it is yet far In ad

vance of the demands of the people

generally.

This is not as it should be. Some ex

the grounds

that the city has a large foreign popu

lation -which does not read the English

language, and that another large por

tion is satisfied to simply read the

evening paper.

The Hammond library Is a paradise

for mental pleasure. Its board of dl

rectors are always ready to respond to

demands if properly made and within

reason; therefore there Is no excuse

for those who do not read English to be without the best literature of their

nationality.

To encourage the public, the board

has made some liberal changes in the

rules for taking out books. The

"popular fiction cent-a-day rent depart

ment" is filling a demand. Instead of one reference work, two may be

taken out now, for two weeks, and the use renewed for an additional two

weeks. This together with a book of

any kind of literature to which the

borrower Is entitled, permits him to take out four books at once. The

school teachers have the privilege of two additional books. Non-residents by giving the name of a Hammond property owner for reference, may become borrowers for one dollar , a- year , instead for three, dol-

AGED BACHELOR IS HOW IH DISTRESS

Hugh Rigney, With Six Proposals of Marriage, Must Get a Wife Before He Can Get a Lot.

Hughey Rigney, who for " the past

third of a century has worked for th East Chicago company and its predecessor land companies, from General Torrence's time down, thinks he was

never In such hard lines as those in) which he finds himself at the present time.

Hughey, be it known is a bachelor.

He has been a remarkably shy bachelor all these years, and R. E. Tod, president of the Land Company, In order to prevail upon him to forsake sicgle blessedness,

long ago made him a standing offer

If he would marry and "settle down"

Mr. Tod declared that the choicest lot

owned by the East Chicago company would be his, as a wedding gift from him. Mr. Tod.

Hughey was impressed, but not suffi

ciently so to surrender his celebacy.

But Hughey, being a far sighted In

dividual, and shrewd was not the man

to let a good proposition like that, go

altogether by default, by being forgot

ten. He realized that, while there was

life there waa hope and he figured that

at some time in his career, he might

adorn a family as its head

his wont, ever and anon to remind the

land company's president of his offer of the lot. Mr. Tod always confirmed it, declaring that all that waa necessary was for Hughey to flash his marriage certificate, or Introduce him to his wife, to make it a go.

It was only recently however, that

the spirit moved Hughey to matrimony.

With the dawning of the hew year

Hughey was notified of the fact that 1912 was divisible by four, when he received a proposal of marriage. Since then the widows and maiden ladles have Indulged In what might be termed a scramble, did It not concern the fair sex.

for Hughey's hand, heart and bank account. He is now considering at least half a dezen out and out proposals of marriage, and any number of hints, that with a little encouragement might lead to proposals. The only thing that troubles Hughey now and detains him from rushing headlong into matrimony, Is that the East Chicago company has practically sold out all of Its lota. There is a scattering assortment to choose from, but they are not the sort of lots tha Hughey

had In mind when he has turned Mr.
