When 'the wind blows the dust blows into the stores and office buildings and causes hundreds of dollars worth of damage.

Only the other day the new street

It was a matter of comment on the part of scores of business men. This would not have happened if the

streets had been oiled instead or sprinkled.

The board. of public works should

be commended for taking a progressive step in an effort to eliminate dust and the spread of disease by

SDrinkllne the streets with oil andi

it should be supported in this project by the property owners of the entire city.

WHITING STILL HOPES.

Not long ago we chronicled the

news that the Standard Oil company of Indiana declared a 2.900 per cent

dividend. Then Its sister, the Stand

ard of Kentucky, one day last week had its stock go up from S3 50 to

1,000 and all of this happened In

side of a few hours. On Saturday

captioned "Mora Standard Oil Plums"

we read a paragraph about sister number three, the Standard of New Jersey. This little orphan is about to declare a dividend of $100 a share cash and its English cousin, the

Anglo-American Is exuding dividends

of 20 per cent and is about to have

its capital stock raised from $5,000,-

000 to $26,000,000.

tor Heavens sake what Is caus

ing all of this joy in the Standard

camp? What is the reason for all of

this extraordinary increase in John

D.'s wealth?

In the meantime while learned

economists are digging into the mystery would it not be a good idea to have a probe made up at Whiting. It is rumored that Whiting is refining twice as much oil as ever in hopes of speeding John D. up in getting that sanitary drinking fountain.

HOPE that Ohio edict that mascu

line bathers must wear dinky little

skirts with their suits doesn't become popular around Whiting. First

thing we know they will be trying to

get us into a pair of corsets.

WE Intend to send the Chicago

lady doctor who said that intellectuality always accompanies big feet a pair of silk stockings as a present for her acumen and her tribute to us.

A DIFFICULT FEAT.

Doctors are making some ado over

the fact that one of their number re

cently performed an operation upon

himself for appendicitis. We see nothing particularly sen

national about this. It isn't much to

brag about. Just as soon as we hear

of a doctor lancing a boil on the hack

of his own neck we promise to get

xelted.

TAFT AND CLEVELAND. Will history prove that President Taft like Grover Cleveland a courageous man sacrificed himself for a prin

ciple: We believe that Taft like Cleveland will go down into history

as a man of courage who dares to do

what he thinks is right not what the

other fellow thinks Is right. We all

remember how Cleveland was criti

cired and how his memory is now

revered. Exercises commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the birth of Grover Cleveland attracted a large number of his friends and admirers in New York City recently. A letter from President Taft was read. In which the president praised the work of the distinguished democrat says the Kalamaaoo Press. Grover Cleveland was a b!ir

president, because he sacrificed himself ss a party man. for principle. He fought the free silver movement and thereby lost the support of one-half of his party. He denounced the Wilson tariff and permitted it to become a law without his signature, because he knew that Gorman and other protection democrats had forfeited their right to be called tariff reformers. By this act President Cleveland lost the support of a large share of his party. But he was true to the traditions of democracy. President Cleveland showed his greatness also when he sent federal troops to Chicago to stop tha railroad riots. It was a courageous thing to do. but It was right. History will accord Orover Cleveland a high place among the presidents of our country.

SPAEE MOMENTS.

Too many people are afraid of the

word, GREATNESS. To become great is never impossi ble.

In odd moments .after the crush

of the day, thousands of men and

women have trained their minds and

hands. Sir William Herschel became

famous astronomer by using the

MIDNIGHT HOURS after the even

lng's hard work loading an orchestra. Horace Greeley wrote many of

his greatest editorials while WAIT' ING FOR TRAINS AND SLOW PEO

PLE, and many a man has secured a

liberal education day by day while

his wife was hooking up the De

Longs and putting on her hat.

An hour a day for ten years means

PERHAPS the iceman will claim

also in view of the returning cold

that the water was so dirty it made the saws dull to cut it out.

WE suppose the moving picture

shows are all ready to shoot out the

film entitled 'The Last Brave Stand of the Allen Boys."

THEY are suggesting our old

friend Doc Wiley for a place on the

ticket. Goodness sakes, which ticket?

NOW for spring house cleaning

and then moTinR day if you get past

April Fool's day all right.

WELL anyway you can pick out the garden seed if you can't plant it.

AN exchange says that everything

is over now but the noise.

U E A R D BY RUBE

SPRINKLE WITH OIL. The board of public works recog

nises the fact that sprinkling with water is a failure and s encouraging the use of oil instead. It should be

encouraged by the people of Hammond so that it would be warranted in sprinkling every city street with

oil.

It is a well known fact that on a

hot summer day streets that have

been sprinkled with water are as dusty in two hours as they were be

fore the sprinkling wagon passed by

It is different with oil. One

sprinkling effectually lays the dust

for weeks at a time. The oil helps to preserve the pavement, instead of de

stroying it as water does, and it

positively las the dust.

The only place where water can

be effectually used . is on asphalt streets wfc.ere it is used in . heavy streams to completely flush and wash the pavements. And even then In a few days the pavements are as dusty

as ever. .

It is a well known fact that the

sprinkling of city streets with water has been a failure in the business districts of the city. In a few hours

kthe streets were as duty as ever

TEE "PERFECT" BABY. At the Iowa state fair, after a contest, one baby was declared to be the most perfect In the state. In the contest for "good points" many babies were weighed and measured and tested for proportion, vitality, touch, taste and hearing. The test was "scientific. On a scale of 100 there were so many marks for weight, measurement, health, looks, teeth, hair, etc. The babies' intelligence was discovered by their interest In a phonograph, or a watch held up, or soma such proof. The on baby was pronounced the perfect one by means of scale and tape and "laboratory test." So far so good. But Who can tell what may be the outcome of that "perfect" baby? Often

times the weakest babe turns out to be

the strongest or most Intelligent individual.

The Infant whose brain Is excessiver developed requires more than the

average of blood for that organ, leav lng the rest of the body weak.

Or

The "perfect" baby physically may

be weak mentally because the blood is demanded 'for the body to the exclu

sion of the brain. Also

You see, there are many things, like

heredity and environment, entering

Into the evolution of a human being.

It is difficult to prophesy the destiny

of a babe.

lou can size up a young colt or a

collie pup by ordinary tests.

A babe Is different. You cannot tell what may be the de

elopment of a human body through

udlcious care and training, or what

quality of gray matter may be hidden away in the small brain pan of an in

fant

Some of the strongest and ablest men

and women hare been weak as babies.

The main thing is to

Give the baby a chance.

You cannot tell what possibilities are

wrapped up in that mite of humanity,

Properly nourished and given plenty

of pure air. day and night, the puny

puling baby may develop into an ath

lete or a genius.

If the baby is frail it is no sign that

It will grow into a physical or mental

weakling.

The "perfect" baby has yet to be

born.

effort made to recall some of the Gary
