The hum of industry is to be heard in all parts of the Calumet region these days. An axmy of eighty thoueand toll day and night turning out the things that are of steel. Clouds of smoke hover over a myriad of stacks, the sign of prosperity in the day time, and the white-heat metal turns the night into day. The lurid glare of the South Chicago Bessemers dance in the skies above use with the lights of the Gary and Indiana Harbor furnaces. When the sun sets in the west the silhouette of the great Pullman car works is almost blotted out by the smoky background. SUCH NIGHTS AS THE MOON APPEARS IT IS DARED BY THE LIGHTS OF A HUNDRED FURNACES CIRCLED AROUND THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE. When the Schlessinger plant of Hammond is in operation the sky will be illumined for twenty miles. Down the lake from the ore lands far to the north, where thousands toll that we may have the brown and red-colored stuff that is the basic fibre of our business, comes fleet after fleet to our three ports. Our harbors are crowded with ships that bring to Canada the bars, billets and rails for new roads in some northern wilderness. The shriek of the locomotive never ends. Hundreds of trains come and go ;our mills are Titans, for even the coke ovens in the eastern dunes demand ten thousand tons dally tribute from the coal mines to the south of us. THE PAST HAS NOT SEEN THE LIKE OF THESE FULL DAYS IN THIS REGION. We are making more steel than ever before. Our blast furnaces, already half the number of Pittsburg's groan at the strain put on them, and the monster rail mills roll without end. AT BUFFINGTON THE CEMENT MILLS GRIND OUT UNCEASINGLY THAT THE PANAMA CANAL MAY BE FINISHED ON TIME. Tin plate and steel sheets and big things in structural craft are taken away from the shops and mills on the banks of the Grand Calumet by thousands of tons. From the Whiting oil refineries there comes clouds of black smoke blacker than ever before and the foundries and factories of Hammond and East Chicago are tuned to concert pitch. Our railroad yards' are crowded with that which we give to commerce and investors in distant countries smile at the thoughts of fat dividends. , Buying ourselves, WE KEEP THOUSANDS ELSEWHERE BUSY SUPPLYING US WITH WHAT OUR MILLS WORK INTO USEFUL THINGS, WHICH IN TURN GO TO KEEP THOUSANDS OF OTHERS BUSY. And now comes the news of the crops. The harvest is to be a golden one. And bow crops go so goes steel. Worrying over who will be elected president around here? NOT SO YOU COULD NOTICE IT.

Frederick W. ruber. THE MOTORCYCLIST. In Lake county so far this summer eight people, five of them women have been more or less badly hurt while riding tandem on motorcycles. It is a marvel the number Is not larger. The warning is not heeded however. Down the streets and highways the reckless motorcyclist goes like Maine went, hell-bent. Nothing can stop him, not even the fear of eternity. Behind him sets a young woman a-straddle a perilous seat, her skirts up over fcer knees, her hair dishevelled, her face dirty, a laughing stock for gods and men. Sometimes a child will sit behind the motorcyclist but his pace never lessens. He intends to show the world what a dare-devil he is and how little he cares for his life and how less he cares for the life ot the person wno sits behind him. CARPENTERS' WORTHY PROJECT It Is understood that the Gary Carpenter's union, with a surplus of $50,000 in the treasury has decided not to call a strike but to build a magnificent home for the union in Gary. That shows that the Gary union !s in the hands of conservative leaders. In a great many unions the business agents and officers would long ago have figured out a way to get their fingers on this splendid surplus. In mismanaged unions etrikes are sometimes called for the purpose of enabling the officers to hide the disappearance of the large sums of money. For instance, no one knows what became of the funds of the electrical union In Lake county, an organization which was really the personal property of Martin Carmody and others of his ilk. Suit was filed to compel an accounting ; but so far as if known the case never came to trial. The project of the Gary union to buy property and build a home is an evidence of good management on the face of things. Nothing will give the union such standing in the community, so much apparent responsibility as the ownership of a building. Nothing could solidify it more. Sometimes unions are guilty of unlawful acts and the Injunction is Invoked to restrain them for the reason that there Is no way of collecting damages in the event of the destruction of property.' A judgment against the average union would not be enforceable. But the Gary union could go Into court. In the event it builds Its new home, and point out that it is a responsible organization, that in the event the destruction of property could be traced to it that its property Interests would cover any claim for damages that might be made. And no court in the land would grant an injunction against the union under those circumstances. COMPLIMENT FOR CARLISLE. The South Bend Times, Democratic, says: "The Republican party probably can find no more worthy standard bearer to compete with Hon. amuel Ralston for the governorship of , Indiana than Colonel Charles Arthur Carlisle, of South Bend." But you'll find some pee-wee democratic papers that don't think so. SYSTEMATIZING A BUSINESS. The man who loved a business is seldom a good systematizer. He can't be. He who has been mother and nurse to an enterprise is certain to have particlpalities and prejudices that he is unwilling to trust to the cold bosom of a filing case. For instance, a business man has a hundred employes who are important enough to be under written contract. One of these, a man named Smith, has a contract that is close to the "old man's heart and thought. He trusts the remaining contracts to
his young cold-blooded ; secrtary to
file, but the contract with Smith he carries off in his pocket and reads at home, where he changes suits and mislays it. Then comes the day when he wants It badly, and Chaos sits enthroned, Beelzebub is called by name, and Hades Is mentioned in a loud voice. But, to the cold-blooded friend of system, a contract with Smith simply indicates a piece of paper that must be filed under the letter S, and the Importance of the contract is an additional reason, if any is needed, why it should be put in Its proper place. A business originator is seldom a business engineer, who knows exactly when and how to oil every part of the commercial machine. He is usually of the promoter or inventor type ,and is interested in some one progressive feature of his business. Systematizing is a job in and of itself, and the best man fcr It is usually someone who is not interested in the promotion features of the work. - Yet system is as vital to the success of many enterprises as oiling and daily inspection are necessary to the engine. It is the modern mark of distinctiveness in nearly all the big businesses of the world THE most unpleasant thing about chess Is to be awakened out of a nap every now and then by your opponent and informed that it is your move. OLD Abdul Hamid is said to spend the biggest part of the day in the bath tub, month in and month out He must be getting quite a soggy old beast by this time. SENATOR Kern is said to have been threatened with prostration. Probably thinks Shively is going to demand the names of the mysterious eight. THE stock market shows that Wall Street thinks the weather and the crops are more than offset for politics which is a sensible conclu sion. PLEASURE and business keep enough sails spread to remind the world how much more picturesque the seas and the lakes used to be. XHE writers' strike never bothers the man who eats at home," says the Detroit Free Press. Especially the one who cooks his own meals eh? FOR every man killed In flying a dozen die boating and swimming. It Is In the number who survivo that aviation makes a poor showing. STRANGE to say a Sunday has passed in the Calumet region with out anybody being killed by a motorcycle or an automobile. THERE are grain trade optimists who say the wheat harvest of the country will be nearly equal to the year's crop of campaign lies. IN that great brother net Champ Clark meeting Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Clark Beems to be trying to force a very sickly smile. IF a man wants to do Just as he darn pleases, he should lead his wife to believe he is as easy to 'manage as a maltese kitten. THE lure of nature is the popular thing nowadays with everybody but editors and politicians. They haven't the time. EDISON'S phonograph U a great thing but only will Edison become immortal when he invents a silencer for it. WELL you gotta quit kicking Crown Point's baseball team around that's all there is to it. WHY not make rest and recreation a public issue as well as the high cost of living? HAVE you bought your $20 ticket to the bull moose convention yet? Neither have we. SOME folks think they are humorists when they are merely being laughed at. WE cant' all be happy but there are a lot of us who could be If we would.

On the run between Gary and Valpo they. ought to have time enough to make away with a plate of pork and . EASTERN dentists had a meeting and It ended up In a row. Evidently they don't pull together.

THE chances are that the most of those who went down to the Baltimore convention are once more catching up with their bills. IF this cold weather keeps up the way it has been doing the papers will feel like printing Labor day parade stories or what's doing for Hallowe'en. MAYBE a bull moose.

DESPITE the fact that Governor Marshall has been nominated to a 112,000 a year Job he Isn't as famous as we might suspect. No one has yet claimed the honor of being his double. VOICE OF P E O PLE IS BAMMOXD A CATTLE RAJICHt Editor Tikes: I'm an ardent admirer of live stock, especially cows, but I never saw a cow ranch or dairy located in the midst ef a city, especially a busy metropolis like Hammond. If this is something new, then I'm behind the tlme--an "old fogy" in. the sight of these cow ranchmen. I've traveled a bit, however, during the past two weeks and I fail to see where other cities are imitating ' Hammond In this respect. Are the residents of the south side of our city to be outraged and trammeled upon year after year by these pests? "Why should we who take pride In keeping our lawns In perfect shape be made to submit to this uncivil practice The police have been notified times without number about cows running at large and they repeatedly turn a deaf ear to it. Will somebody explain why the police of Hammond will not countenance such open violation of Its ordinances. Do we pay these beauti fully uniformed gentlemen to what ever suits their pleasure? I hope not. Where is our chief and who Is he? Isn't this matter Just as Important as running in a poor old helpless drunk? We want this cattle herding on our lawns stopped and If some one has a suggestion to offer as to how we may proceed other than what has been mentioned, the public would like to know, SOUTH SIDE RESIDENT.

KEEP MOUTH AND NOSE CLEAN
Good Teeth and Breathing Organs " rtesui it niid la Given Proper Care. The Importance of keeninr th mouth and nose clean during infancy nag not received as much emphasis as it should. The bones of tha fa the teeth will not develop normally If the mucous membranes covering them are diseased or Improperly nourIshed. The great trouble with most children seems to be obstructions of the nose in the form of adenoids or deviated septa, and crowded or irregularly placed teeth aad enlarged tonsils, all of which can be prevented if proper attention Is given to the soft tissues of the nose and mouth during the infantile or formative periods. While these Interferences may seem hazardous and so technical as to be Impracticable fox the average mother, there is no good reason why any properly trained nurse with the aid of the Physician may not easily accomplish all that is necessary at the beginning, and the mother could be taught to continue the treatment Mouth Teilet for the Infant. It la difficult to prescribe a successful mouth toilet for Infants, and yet It would seem to be absolutely necessary. The pure, milk from the mother's breast Is often contaminated sufficiently, while passing through the child's mouth to cause serious Intestinal disturbances. The mouth should be cleansed by irrigation or by swab-, blng It with some soft absorbent cotton on a probe saturated with a mild disinfectant. The throat and nose should also occasionally be gently washed out with a suitable antiseptic. The bottle nipples, if used, should be frequently renewed and always thoroughly cleaned after use. During the teething period rubber or other hard rings given the child to chew upon should be kept clean and tne mouth should be carefully watched to determine if any Irritation is being produced by the mechanical use. It is questionable whether theee hard substances should be used at all a excessive Irritation may produce a tough growth over the tooth, making its penetration by the growing teota more difficult. , If the child's flnrers can be kept clean they make better tooth cutters, even though this should establish the thumb-sucking habit, which, 'however, can be corrected easily, and the drooling of the saliva is much better than to have th rhiii continually swallowing it to Interfere wiin its digestion. The mouth, nose and throat should be keDt clean and free from all Infectious diseases of their mucous membranes; good teeth and breathing organs will be the result, and the child will have a chance to develop to its normal capacltiesin Washington.

MRS. MARY CORSE.
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. MEN AND MONEY. In dollars how much is a man worth to his world? Of course it depends. In slavery days an ablebodled colored man would bring from $1,000 to 12,500 on the auction block. Young Greeks brought to this country sell themselves In peonage, so It Is claimed, for something like $500 for a period of five years. I said to my friend, a prosperous lawyer, "How much are you worth?" "One hundred thousand dollars he replied. When I expressed surprise be said, "I eara S per cent en 9100,000 45,000 a year and therefore I am worth that much.' Experts hare figured the cash value of a man. . According to Dr. Parr, the net value to Great Britain of the average citizen aged twenty-fire years Is fl.000. He gets his estimate by subtracting the man's keep from his probable future earnings. Men are more valuable here. American men are valuable because of their better earning; opportunity. In comparison .with the Englishman the figure is surprising. Professor Irving Fisher estimated the average American at the age of twenty to be worth 14.000. That is to say, he Is worth that much In cold cash to the United States. People are a country's most valuable asset, but nevertheless they are seldom figured in the national balance sheet Why? Probably because our laws and legislation have been. almost entirely directed to property interests. Our economics know nothing but dollars as represented in real and personal property. That Is why you can stir the country Into agitation concerning the conservation of our resources timber and minerals and water power while proposed legislation concerning pure food and child labor and employers' liability meets with a slow response. Why so jealous of the destruction of timber and coal and so careless of the destruction of men and women and children? Because dollars are dear In the view of legislators and flesh and blood are chen p. But jrlory be! The times are full of significance, and our statesmen are coming to understand that, motives of humanity aside, men are more valuable than money. night, and attempted to shoot up the little village was arrested early today by Mort Jackson, constable of Wayne township. Jackson and twenty residents of Westpointr scoured the country "for ten hours before they located the desperado. He was found sleeping in a dense woods and did not hear the posse approaching. He said when placed under arrest that his right name was Fleming Guy and that he was a native of Kentucky. He was brought to Lafayette under heavy guard and placed in Jail. William Marlatt, who was shot In the abdomen by Guy. is still living, but his condition Is critical. PLEADS FOR SLAYER'S LIFE. The unusual spectacle of a woman seeking the liberty of her husband, who killed her own mother, will be
presented at the coming meeting of the State Board of Pardons, when Mrs. Mary Delpha of Kokomo will appear to plead for William Delpha, a life convict In the Michigan City prison. The tragedy took pla.ee near Westville. Ind. Delpha fired a gun, as he alleged, at a man named Fite, but instead of killing his intended victim, Mrs. Meacham, mother of Mrs. Delpha, received the shot and died almost Instantly. Mrs. Delpha went from the grave of her mother to the side of her husband, pleading for his liberty at his trial, and since his Incarceration, she has lived within a few miles of the prison that she might be near him. LIVE WIRE FATAL. Perry Ashbranner, Zl years old and unmarried, was electrocuted while attempting to remove a live wire fr."m the street at New Albany. , His .hands were burned to a crsp and his body badly burned.
