Hammond Chapter, No. 117. meets second and forth Wednesday of each month. Hammond Commandery, No. 41. Rt tolar meeting first and third Monday of each month. $36,655.52. The o&rv (Commercial club se out to raise $30,000 for the Mercy hos pltal which is conducted by the Sis ters of St. Francis, third order. Last night at the end of a six-day campaign the committeemen who dined at the Y. M. C. A. gave in their returns. Instead of $30,000 being attained that much and $6,655.52 more was secured. The committee worked, hard, the people of Gary gave generously, and the rest of the coun ty helped out. The whole affair exemplifies the Gary spirit and the Commercial club showed its usual energy. For a new town $36,655.52 was a great sum to raise but Gary owes much to the rood sister who have labored un flinchingly for the sick and poor o the steel city. HER OWN STORY. With Journalistic acumen which does him credit, the editor of the Na tional Municipal Review has written to Miss Virginia Brooks of Ham mond and invited her to tell la the pages of his magazine the story of her picturesque fight at West Hammond says the Chicago Post. Much has been written about it ,of course, but that much has emphasized the breezy features of this interesting career and made it very hard, usually, to pick out the real thread. But Miss Brooks' own unsensational account is more interesting than most of the things that have been written about her. What makes the story which has appeared in these columns so refreshing is, of course, the vigor and directness revealed. These are ens ticing qualities always, and especially attractive when they are display- - ed against odds so overwhelming. BEVE RIDGE RECANTS. Former Senator Beveridge has cast his lot in with the third party move ment bag and baggage. Just where it will land him of course no one can predict until after the November election. The step taken by Beveridge is characteristic. We all know how he has praised President Taft. We all know how strong he was for Taft for renominatlon. There was nothing too good he could say about Taft yet here we , behold him deserting Taft and deserting the republican party. The republican party made Beveridge what he is today. There is no man in Indiana nor anywhere else for that matter who owes so much to the republican party as does Bev eridge. She gave everything to the former senator and it was always his brag and boast that the republican party was dearer to him than any other like institution. During the last campaign the republican party set Beveridge on the high places and fought a great fight for him but he went down to defeat. There is seemingly no gratitude la Beveridge

The sixty-five coke ovens which the Inland Steel company are to erect at its Indiana Harbor works will be the most modern of their kind in the world. They will be the last work in by-product oven construction. This year when the United States Steel corporation completed the last of its 560 by-product ovens at a cost of $10,000,000, they were the premiers of the Industry. The Harbor ovens will have a 13 1-4 ton capacity per charge as com pared wtih 12 3-4 tons at Gary. Harbor ovens will produce a charge in sixteen hours which is one hour less than at Gary and two hours less than at the celebrated Jollet coke ovens. The Harbor ovena will ron sume 1300 tons of coal daily. mis ajsirict is getting to be a coke producing center of consider l s . a dig importance, mere are now ovens at Gary, Jollet and the big Semet-Solvay plant at South Deer mgr. Just west of Hammond. And, In reckoning capacity it should be re membered that every one of these ovens, which are of the by-product type, produces Just eight times as much as an ordinary Connellsvilie bee-hive oven . WATCH THEM GO TO IT. Loving young couples at Gary complain that tbe- swarms of fireflies which come from the Kan kakee marshes are proving a nuisance. Before the lightning bugs were driven northward by the recent storm it was possible to find a seat In Miller Beach park that was not made conspicuous by the electric lights. Now. the "spooners" say, the fireflies are so numerous that every bit of the beach is lighted and that billing and cooing unobserved is Impossible. But "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," as the saying goes. The fireflies are so numerous that one Lake county' man uses them in "shining" frogs. He fills a glass Jar with the lightning bugs, carries the Jar under his coat, and suddenly flashes it in the haunts of the frogs. The frogs, dazed by the light, remain motionless until they are bagged. Indianapolis News.

the heated term for the metropolitan papers from now on. WANT VARIETY? CREATE IT. man Who changes his employment frequently, rso question about It the chance to rise comes to the man who is ON THE JOB and has been there LONG ENOUGH to COUNT. The worst enemy of real progress is LOST MOTION, and every Jump from one business to another mears a loss of certain commercial standing and good-will in the former business. It is only occasionally that the advantage over-balances the loss even though the TEMPORARY SALARY is larger. Handsprings, double back fiips and the giant swing are excellent things in the gymnasium but not valuable to the labor seeker. Leaping from Job to iob doa not ordinarily indicate GROWTH but moriv a tirqipp Tn ninvrf T. same activity and fertility of rPsource that th lnh.i,n, i changing from one business to another would lead to GREAT SUCCESS if applied in the direction of improving conditions in ONE business. The man who succeeds greatly knows how to do this. He stays in one line of business, and gets variety in It without the LOST MOTION involved in a change of occupation. Whenever the wild desire seizes him to escape MONOTONY anl HUMDRUM, he thinks up something
new in nis own line of worn ana
kills - Tedium by the exercise of brains. Always, he has so much to do, so many NEW THINGS, that it is wellnight impossible for him to think of making a change. lie is too busy. The man who chains himself to the same desk for life in nearly as bad as the-' business chameleon who takes up every outside offer that shows a salary Increase. BUT not quite. . He has at least ONE trade that he is master of, the other man has NONE. We know a man who presented recommendations from twelve employers covering a period of eight years, to prove that the eight years had been well spent, and never saw the joke. HOW TO USE YOUR EDUCATION. Once upon a time a city that needed additional railroad facilities, startde to build a free bridge. After spending1 several million dol lars on it .their money ran out. The bridge lacked only a few feet of completion, but it was allowed to remain unfinished for many years. It was never of any real value, be cause it lacked those last few feet. Eventually the part that was con structed began - to rust and rot, so that even if completed it would never be as good as it coojd have been. There are many human lives that are duplicates of this bridge. Many a boyvand girl gets a part of an education and then professions, or for commercial pursuits .is what gives force and point to all the schooling that precedes it. Service is life, and nothing counts until It is reduced to terms of effort or accomplishment, K To be educated without being useful is to be a wart, a dead weight, an encumbrance and a fake. it is only when learning has com pleted its approaching to service that it becomes worthy of honor. As for being worthy of money there is no use talking about that, because there won't be any money for such a person to be worthy of. The only way he can get it is to Inherit or steal, it does not make, any difference which, so far as service la concerned. The way to make your education count Is to complete it up to the point where you can use it. Nothing Is more foolish than facts without ability. The encyclopedia has a moaopoly on that, and no human brain has yet been discovered that can successfully compete with it. Build an aproach to your educa tion, that willad direct into the world of seryfee. Then, and- only them, will it e worth while. FEW CENTENARIANS. Of the millions that lived in Europe a century ago there are hun areas lert Dut tne number . is com paratively small. Spain has 410 centenarians, France 213, Italy 197, Austria-Hungary 113, Russia 89, England 82, Germany 76, Norway 23, Sweden 10, Belgium 5 and Den mark but 2. This shows you what chances you have of living to be one hundred years old. While men are getting old later than they used to, a cen tury ago a man was old at 36 and a woman at 30, and nowadays many a man is young at 65. Yet of the 1. 500,000,000 people on this earth to the grave a century hence. THE Indianapolis Star has both B xwu,. u w s Hit t U' .u. - ILue its in: e uu lut-iB is ui course a usolutelv no assurance that it will not turn another handsnrlne bfore the I middle of the month. IT is reported that A. F. Knotts is in Indianapolis wearing a Rooscvelt button as big as a saucer Should have worn another and used them as breast plates for the fray. THE Cuban revolution has blown UP- So has the Mexican revolution I But neither one made as much noise as tne busting of half a dozen Presil dential booms that could be named. . woman m New York who nas a fortune r $10,000,000 is uoout to marry an American, borne Pf those N-w'Tbrk girls will do any thing to attract a little attention. MISS Gould denies the authorship of the "old maid" letter. It was so good that the denial is inexplicable others would be tickled to high heav en to take credit for it.

He is to be notified of his nomination. It's a shame to let every one else know about It In June and keep it from Bill until today. IT must have been quite a shock 'to the rest of the world to learn that Crown Point Jias gone In for the affinity racket. Ought to have been nice and good like Gary and Hammond and been satisfied with a country club. WITH street cars running In from Laporte and surrounding peasant com munities f.Ake county will begin to feel Itself becoming a very common place. WHAT'S become of the good oldfashioned days when Buffalo Bill's cir cus came to town? ... NATURAL history book says that the bull moose has big' horns. Arid the most of us think that this is the biggest thing about the critter. INDIANA HARBOR'S coke ovens will certainly make It a great steel center. It would be clrrost like Gary, but It lacks millionaires and Gary Is in Pittsburg's class because all of Its millionaires have gone through the divorce courts. AUGUST Is that critical time of the year when summer clothes wear out and when It Is too early to buy the fall fashions. SIX weeks hence the baa burners and pipes will be coming out of their retreats, so in the meantime get what you can out of the summer days that are left. THE rub polite down in the Indiana backwoods.

THREATS BY "WIIIECAPS." The bringing of negro farm laborers to Rlgdon, near El wood, has led to much bitter feeling between white laborers and the employers of the negroes. Roscoe Stuckey and James ;Glll, who brought four negroes to the place have been threatened and both have armed themselves in anticipation of trouble. Bach has received a bundle of switches and a notice signed "Whltecaps." Stuckey was told that he must get rid of the negroes or take the consequences. Farmers are sleeping in their barns in anticipation of an outbreak on the part of the white laborers. Members of a thrashing crew are said to have made the statement that negroes will not be allowed to help with thrashing. GOES BLIND WHILE IX COURT.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
"I have found that one of the best ways to get children Into the habit of doing the right thing. Is to try to make the right course of least resistance 1 suppose that sounds obvious, but I know a great many mothers who waste much energy because they do not reallne and practice that method." So a woman who has been eminently successful In the difficult profession of motherhood puts one of the secrets of her success. And this is the way she explains and illustrates her statesment. "I used to have the children keep their rubbers and overshoes upstairs In their own closets, so that they would not get them mixed. And all the time I was bothered by finding them left sll over the house. It was always 'Bobby, why didn't you take your rubbers upstairs? or Eleanor, this is the second time this week that I've stumbled over your overshoes. Finally I decided to make it easier for them to be orderly, and see If that wouldn't help them. Father made a box for the rubbers of the whole family with a little compartment for each one of us, and we kept It in the back ball now I almost never have any trouble. "Then, again, I always wanted the children to put on aprons before they came Into the kitchen to do anything. The girls had aprons of their own which they kept upstairs, and the boys were suposed to hunt up one of mine. Well, It seemed Impossible to enforce that rule. It was; Oh, I was only going to make a little paste and I didn't want to go way upstairs for my apron." or 'Oh, bother, mother, 1 couldn't find any of.you old aprons. So finally one day after Eleanor had spilled a cjip of milk down the front of her new dress.

May Robertson for possession of a 75 diamond ring worn by Lewis Bruner of Columbus, when he died In Colorado a few months ago, has been settled and the ring surrended to Mlssi Robertson. The case had been appealed to the Supreme Court of the state,, but the appeal has been dismissed. The conrt costs in the case were $80. LABOR NEWS Wlreless operators at Seattle, Wash., are talking organisation. Asbestos workers at Cleveland. 0 have a 100 per cent organisation. Louisville.

The largest representative of women In Industrial pursuits In Germany la In the clothing and allied trades. In which 1,662,000 are employed. Belgium's lace Industry gives employment to about forty-five thousand women and girls, some of whom begin their apprenticeship when only six or eight years old. The business agent and secretary reported at a meeting of the Las Angeles, CaL, Building Trades council that 640 union men had found employment during one recent week. ( Fifteen hundred elevator conductor employed In downtown office building in Cbicago have been granted a wage increase of $5 a month and improved working conditions In a contract signelation. There has been a large increase in the membership of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Employes Ik England. Ireland. Scotland and Wales. The fortieth annual report shows an Increase from 75,1$3 to 216,416 during the year. The International Association of Photo Engravers, an organisation that Includes 'most of the large employers In this trade, has voted to raise $25,000 and to hold that fund In readiness for use of members in strike contingencies. Track foremen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railway company have demanded a change In their ten-hour daily rule to eight hours on Saturdays and of time and a half on Sundays, aa well as on other days for all overtime work. The Twin City Rapid Transit company has announced , an Increase of wages to two thousand trainmen In St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., amounting to practically ten per cent. The Increase was made voluntarily and as a surprise to the men. I had father put up five hooks right In the entry as you go Into the kitchen I had the girls bring down their aprons, and gave the boys each one of their own, and told them they were t hang their aprons on the hooks and were not to pass by Into the kitchen without taking down their own and putting it on you wouldn't believe the time In cleaning up their cloth's that has saved me. "That's two examples. I could give you a dozen more, but you see what I mean. Instead of wearing yourself out hammering at the children, trying to get them to do something hard or Inconvenient, Just study out how you can make what you want them to do more natural and easy in other words try to make the right course the course ofr least reslstence." Does this Idea appeal to you as good? ' It certainly does to me. And right In my own life, I have so. unconscious example of Its efficacy. Last Christmas 'I had a small desk dictionary given to me. During: th last year 1 know that I've looked up ten words to every one I looked up during the time I had to go Into the other room, open the bookcase and pull down a heavy dictionary. It Is human nature to follow the bourse of least resistance. Much can be accomplished In training one's children and one's self to overcome this tendency. But much can also be accomplished by making the right course the course of least resistance. Think and see If there Is not soma obstacle or some unsatisfactory condition In your household which might be overcome with a consequent savins of energy for you. RUTH CAMERON.
