Pupils re-;who are late have bee 8ent home to get an escuse of gome klnd and thereby permitted to kill a lot of time that should not be devoted to study. CONGRATULATIONS, The city of West Hammond is to be congratulated on the fact that It is about to build a magnificent high school building to cost at least $40,000. ,i v.,n.-, v.. ov "u"u,u6 " constructed after plans which will make possible the Installation of manual and vocational (training. It will be a credit to the city and will go a long way towards creating a more favorable impression of the town that has been known as "The Wicked City." When West Hammond has attained a large enough population to warrant its building a $40,000 manual training high school it must be recognized as a rather important community. The credit for the promotion of this project for the construction of a new and modern high school should bo given to A. G. Deaver, the superin tendent, and the following members of the board of education: John J. Brehm, president; Fred Siegrist, secretary; Ernest Fruehling, E. J. Brus sels, Geo. Knott, E. Reuhl and C Yoerger. A SON thinking that turn about was fair play, beat his father In Michigan City recently and was handed out 125 days In jail for It. .Aren't you glad you thought it over before tact ling the proposition? DEALER says If there Is another cold wave there is no telling how high eggs will go. Yes, and if it snowa again there is no telling how high our feet will go unless some people sweep oU their sidewalks. TO the person who sent in an anonymous communication regarding an episode in Lowell, w wish to say that being a smart Aleck can get a person into more trouble than being a fool. WARDEN Fogarty of the Michigan City prison is still Insisting that he wasn't a bit afraid. In other words he would rather have Murderer Davis hangin? around the pen than hanging in It. PEANUT tan and dried raisin are favorite hues for new automobiles this ' year- 1 nat s an "gut as Jong as tney don fiike them out In these fuzzy hat effects. SOUTHERN paper says that Mr. Rockefeller is undoubtedly confronted by the thought that all these little Standard Oil companies will come home to roost. GOVERNOR Stuffs of Kansas, who

is plugging for Roosevelt, says he

knows nothing of the sentiment in New York. Well, why doesn't he dry up then? BASEBALL player killed himself because he couldn't get into the big league and yet the foolish man had never even tried to get Into the Northern Indiana league. WHITING high school claims an other championship now in athletics. By and, by people will simply have to be convinced that the smell of Johndee's oil is a beneficent thing. BROOKLYN girl says she prefers1 jail to her husband. Well, Sheriff Grant has been getting a lot of com pliments on his jail lately, girls. WHAT would some of these men. who admit they are running on a single track, do when they met them selves coming back? THE Duke of Connaught, who has just concluded a visit to this country, didn't mind being called dukey a bit. Must have a great sense of humor. IT has got now so that any mention of the iceman isn't considered a bit funny. PORTUGAL seems to be following the example of our own enlightened Massachusetts. HETTY Green's son says he wants to marry a woman and not a clotheshorse. Yes, but Col. BY RUBE DRAW forth thy pocket kerchief and weep a little. "Wife In Name Only," Is to be presented by the stock company tonight at the opera, house in Lowell Oh. poor wlfey! Boo! Hoo! A fresh handkerchief, please Watson! YOU can put It down that the grent who talks about the wiry beard ho has usually doesn't know how to strop his Gillette. A LOT of Gary business men are spending: two hours a day swinging hundred-pound weights at the Y. M. C. A. srym. But this business Is like the honeymoon, the novelty passes away in a few weeks. TIMES' headlines read: "Block! Throws Scare Into Gary." We grot to watch this man Block!, he'd like to throw a bomb if he had the chance. SCIEXTIFIC MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT. Mrs. Bud Wyser says that It !s not necessary for her husband to join the business men's sym classes. She has outlined the following: program of scientific development for her bubby: 1. Arm muscles Scrubbing floors. 2. L?g muscles Taking the ashes out into the alley. 3. Back muscles Carrying in the Coal scuttles.

WHEN some men start ln the coal bus iness the 'railway company finds It necessary to Increase Its detective force. IF any one says that Justice Is slow hereabouts iwat him over the cocanut. The case of the oM town of Tolleston vs. the Pennsylvania railroad Is cUed for this week. Now, as Tolleston town went up the corporate flue some two years ago, all we can do Is to strew soma flowers o'er her ssrave. ARE your hands chapped and are you passing the druggist had earned quarters for bottles of rosewater and glycerine? IT used to be that the old fashioned house wife having finished her washing on Monday afternoon brought the clothes into dry and sprinkled them right after supper. Now days at 2 she comes in from a Sorosis club luncheon. fixes up, starts out for a musical, returns for dinner, and then spends the evening at bridge whist. OCR OWX BAEDEKER'S GUIDE. A GARY NICKEL SHOW "Good-bye fresh air," is the usual salutation of tourists as they hand their ticket to the as they pass into a Broadway theatre. No extra charge is made for the allur ing odor of garlic with which the house Is perfumed. Once some East Chicago tourists, having seated them selves in their seats, began to be afraid lest they be overcome. However, upon re-calling some of the official scandals up there they voted that they could stand for almost any kind df odors, so the nhow went on. Ventilation Is not considered so important as assimilation by the benevolent proprietors. So sometimes you find yourself seated between a real "patch darky and a garlic loving Bulgarian. While the air Is never changed from the outside It. is much lacerated and kept In motion at the in;Ide by the machinist at the piano. :Aild west films are the favorites, of the management, the patrons' choice-not being taken ln consideration. To return to the ventilation. The health board never enforces ventilating rules as the lack of ventilation enables struggling young docs to buy gasoline for their little Brush runabouts. We don't want you to Infer from this that patrons get full of bacteria. No. but now and then they catch bad colds. Some reckless germs once strayed into a Gary theatre, but they asphyxiated on the spot. OUR collection of misnomers The "country sausage" you get in the restaurants. JOLIET NEWS says that the laborer's life in the steel plant is a paradise when compared with what it was 30 years ago. Let's see wages have gone up from $1.E0 ta $1.65. Therefore 15 cents Is the 'steemed News' idea of paradise. Fifteen cents Judiciously expended at the Blnuenhof will make you feel like you are ln paradise. AN exchange speaks of a case of oldfashioned rheumatism. Well, there are oldfashiond remedies, aren't there? "ANOTHER BIG PLANT FOR CALUMET," , headlines in The Tikes on Friday might. The foreman of the composing room will please see to Jt that these lines are kept vitalized, we'll, use them soon again. i EVER out on a country road on a winter dny and listened to the hum hum of the telephone wires and poles?
