HEARD AT THE
POIJCE STATION
An unusual quietness has been ex
perienced at the police station during
the past four days and nights, not an
arrest being made. So far the arrests
in 1912 have exceeded that of the past
nd the police are expecting this to be
a recora-breaKer.
Chief McCormack of East Chicago
was a caller at the station this morn
ing, where he was securing, some
pointers from the Hammond department in order that he could( arrange
an eight-hour shift among his traf
fic men. Not only did Chief McCormack find the Hammond department's eight-
hour shift a success, but many other
cities have followed Its example and are finding that Chief Aust gen's methods are proving a success.
The horse that was stolen from Fred
Vimuens, 91st street and Mackinaw avenue. South Chicago, early yester
day morning, was reported found last
night by the South Chicago police, but the officers are still keeping a lookout
for the horse-thief.
A check for $5 as a reward for the
arrest and conviction of X J. Packard
was received by Captain Rimbach yes
terday afternoon, which will be placed
with the other rewards In the police pension fund. The reward was given by the Curtis Publishing company of
Chicago. Packard was arrested and
convicted after he had fleeced the resl
dents of Hammond and Gary out of
their money, his posing himself as an
agent and was selling bogus subscrip
tions.
The "cops' and the members of the
fire department are still wrangling over
that ball game which is to be played
in the "well, let's say future." The
fire boys say they have money and that
the officers ar.s a bunch of quitters,
but the bluecoats say they will be
there when the time comes and don't let
them forget it'.
Evidently the Hammond police de
partment is preparing to keep a sharp
lookout for motorcycle and automobile
speeders this season as this morning
ten large signs bearing the speed limit of eight miles per hour is being placed
at the entrance of all principle thor
oughfares leading into Hammond.
So, speed finds had better beware as
the police will have men stationed at these points and if you turn on the gas to the amount of more than eight miles an hour in the city liclts It Is no
more than likely that an officer will tap you on the back and say "Come to the station with me." Of course, you will understand what that means.

Is there any doubt 1m your mind
about that tired feeling, as to the nature of that little cough, that restless, nervous and weak condition, that gloomy and despondent feeling, that little bit of fever at times, that
flushed face, etc.? Is it not well to remember that old adage, a stitch in
time, etc.?
If you find that your energies are
waning, that you get easily" tired, that at times you are weak, nervous 'and excitable. If you have sore lungs,
bronchitis, asthma, or catarrh, Dr.
Leedy, who has his office in Suites 32
and 33 Riniabch Building, over the
Lion Store, Hammond, Ind., invites you to come in and have a confidential
talk about your condition before It is
too late. Not all cases of sore lungs
can be cured, but many cases can if taken in time. I have just installed a new treatment- apparatus and now
am especially prepared to treat this

Interurban Tickets.
While the round trip ticket to Chi
cago for B0 cents, each ticKet gooa
either way, has been abandoned by the
Erie and Monon railroads, the Krie will compensate somewhat by selling a tenride commutation ticket for $2. This
Is 20 cents for the trip and it is expected that the Erie will get a good deal more business as a result. The
Nickel Plate railroad now makes that
rate on a ten-ride ticket.
The Monon will charge $2.50, or 25
cents a ride. It is believed that the
two-trip ticket was abandoned because
of the practice of Indianians in buying a ticket to Hammond to take advan
tage of the two cents a mile rate and
then buying a ticket to Chicago for 50
cents, thereby saving the difference.

Flanders "20" Roadster, $750
Don't be alarmed if somebody tells you yoa can buy an automobile for less money than the $750 Studebaker-Flanders 20.' You can, but you better not. The Flanders "20" corresponds point by point with the best and highest priced cars sold. Cheaper cars at every vital point are built on ideas long ago discarded for good cars. Don't take our word for it. Make comparisons and see. The Studebaker-Flanders "20" 13 a marvel a high grade modem car at a low price. If you pay less you buy much less. And the cheaper car today will cost you far more in the long run. The competing car isn't sold which. the Studebaker Corporation, the greatest automobile manufacturers in the world, couldn't reproduce for less money j but wc won't) build a cheap car, because the name "Studebake,, means the best for your money. If you are content with a car that runs today and dies tomorrow, don't buy the $750 Flanders "20." It will wear for years. Remember this the Studebaker-Flanders "20" will outwear 2 to 1 any other car under $1100 and give you double satisfaction, confidence and comfort into the bargain.
