Lakewoods parK John W. Powell of Lake Woods is looking for a balloon, and as soon as he can find one will superintendent some nights from the vicinity of Lake Woods park. It may not be generally known, but Powell followed the baeardeus occupation of parachute leaping for fourteen years, or sntil ho became to heavy to engage in 'such daring work. In his time he has: had many harrowing experiences. j . "One time I wv4naklng a leap, and J my parachut'uki nit open until I was j within -a.hu ndredt feet of the ground," aid Powell in taHl"r over the matter. "1 thought my time had come, as I was over 1,000 feet in tnair. My parachute opened just in time to save me. . "One of the mosl eiclting experiences I ever figured In- wa at White City in Louisville. There was a man there with n via mun. us was unaDie to get the thing in the air. I told him I could get it up, and I filled it full of gas. Away the bag went high in the air. Before the man went up he told me he could not swim, and said he was afraid he might fall in the Ohio river. "I told him to put a Hie preserver on, and he did. Well, the man reached a helghth of 2,000 feet when the balloon split from end to end and fell like a naf. I felt sick as J saw the man and his balloon descend I felt that I had killed a man. Well; you may believe it or not, but he landed in tho river and came out alive. I could not believe it, even after I talked with him, for it seemed like a .miracle. I never could explain how that man was saved, for I was as sure as "could be that he was as dead as a door nail." A blind person entering Lake Wooods park, soma time during the busy hours might be of the opinion that It was Inhabited by a lot of bloood-thlrsty Indians. The barkers in the concessions make use of many fierce cries, such as: "Drown him, drown him, now Is the time, to drown him." They are simply talking about ducking the coon in the African dip. In another concession they ery. "Hit him in the head, hit him on the coco, and get a cigar." - That is the Mutt and Jeff concession." Another barker yells: "Hit the hen, hit the hen, every time you hit the hen she lays a hard-boiled egg." Manager Seltzer and the official force of the park had their photographs taken on Sunday. The officers and employes lined up in front I the main entrance and looked pleasant while Photographer Cross did the rest. Wild cherries are found In abundance in and around the park and they are beginning to get rip. Huckleberries and other berries are also plentiful. The dancing floor at Lake Woods has been pronounced by experts to be the best outside of Chicago. The floor Is kept in excellent shape and is aa slippery as glass. The floor being in the second story. It Is In the treetops, and the dancers seem to be out In the woods. Ward's orchestra furnishes the music, which is the best to be found. EAST GARY, Charles Thorns, Jr., was kicked by a pony on Friday evening and is in a rather serious condition. He Is under the care ef Dr. Watson of Tolleston. J. Emblen of Chicago spent Sunday here. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Mill' entertained out-of-town friends Sunday. Mrs. B. O. Pierce gave a party Sunday afternoon in honor of her daughter Delores' 7th birthday.

Johnson and Miss Anna Johnson of Gary visited at the IJazelgreen home Sunday.

About People Some Chats With Folks On Things of Interest Ingenious methods of advertising have been developed by Lawrence Hoffman, owner and operator of the Hoffman $2 hat store, on East State street. Incessantly Hoffman keeps in circulation novel ties in the way of souvenirs, each with a catchy story or funny display. At present a mammoth straw hat, three feet In diameter adorns his window, while smalller straws are arranged with watches In the center and the slogan, "Now is the time for straws." A folder that unrolls a clever story Is another device. It Is called, Why Smith left home." Thousands of these have been given away, although Hoffman distributes them only from behind his counters. Success in the retail trade, due largely to originality in advertising, brought Hoffman into the limelight. As advertising is also one of the big things in wholesale business, commercial travelers have noticed and reported the Hoffman stunts. Patrons of music find the atmosphere and association that they temperamentally crave In the one ealon of artists tn Hammond. Retreats of the soulful are often hard to find and many In ths city may be in ignorance of the dally pilgrimage to the shrine of art with a capital "A." Lobbies and studios are many in the Hammond Music college, over which presides one Clark Learning, dean and director. Four walls, a door or two and a number of windows divide the artistic whole from the offices of insurance men, physlcfans and tailors on the second floor of the Hon store building. Unless you are so constructed within that you can unerringly detect the mundane from the celestial you will not be likely to feel the climatic difference. Summer school is well on at the college. Two hundred lovers of music come weekly to learn. From all points of the county, and even the cities of neighboring counties, they come. Hammond has the youngest and largest college of music in northern Indiana. Some journey by motor, others by trolley and many walk. Naturally enough talent and position are not corresponding assets. Bohemianlsni is . an old gag, but the spirit of good fellowship that prevails In the society of musicians and artists of which the term Is descriptive can be found at the Learning institute. WTith delightful Irregularity concerts and recitals are given in the hall. On week may be over-crowded with such treats and the next almost barren, for that is the way of those who do things by inspiration. One well appointed room is the home of a harmony club, of which Mrs. Whltaker Is the leader.
