heed this warning. Residences now being built in Crown Point seem to be running to the bungalow type, several now being constructed are of that architecture and lend a quaint contrast to the other prevailing style. For handsome homes Crown Point is a leader. Pome of the political dope being handed out by the bull mooaers would Indicate that the age of reason has long since departed American shores. Howevar, with the working man getI ting the highest wages on record and Jobs going begging their clamor that he is abused and down-trodden go for : naught.

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD AWAITS TMITRACT East Chicago Now to Become a City Beautiful As to Lights.

The board of public works held a special meeting at which the contract was le for the Installation of the ornamental illuminating system, which is to make Kast Chicago and Indiana Harbor scintillate at night with real metropolitan brilliancy. Prof. D. Jarvis of Hammond was awarded the contract for the Installation, while the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company will provide the "juice." The system will consist of a series of iron posts fifty feet apart, having at their top a cluster of three lights each. The streets to be benefited are Chicago avenue from Tod to Magoun, Olcott from Chicago avenue to 14th street, Forsyth from 145th to 148th streets in Kast Chicago, and Michigan avenue from Block to Hemlock and Guthrie from Michigan avlnue to the police station, in the Harbor. The city obtained a much better price than that originally estimated, the system to be installed for 1.4S a front foot Instead of $1.75. which was the lowest estimate given previously. The system must be installed and in complete working order by Nov. 1 in order to insure to the contractor his money for the Job this year. The payment for the work will be included in the tax levy. If the Job is not Inished by that time the payment will not be made on this year's levy, but will go over f- whole year. The matter of securing to the Twin Cities an up-to-date illuminating system has required about two years in Its culmination. In the first place, an attempt was made to get It through by private subscription on the part of business men, but a few non-progressives could not be brought to see the benefits the system would entail, and refused to sign for the work. It was finally necessary for the city to take it out of the hands of the citizens and go ahead with the plan regardless of the objectors. The three lights attached to each post will be kept burning until 11 o"clock every night and at this hour two of the lights will be fcrned off, the top one remaining lighted. The Introduction of the system will do away with the necessity of fourteen arc lights now maintained where the new system is to be Installed. . GETTING READY TO - fiTEET EDITORS Gary Will Entertain Members of the Editorial Association. Officers conferred with Gary newspaper men yesterday regarding the Northern Indiana Editorial association convention which is to be held in Gary the twenty-second and twenty-third of the month. Plans were made for the entertainment of the visiting editors and their ladles. Besides the sessions, which will be held at the Commercial club, there will be auto trips about the city, inspection of the mills, banquet at the Commercial club and a tour of the air line interurban system. ) It was asked that the Lake county newspaper men turn out in full force lo help the Gary writers entertain the visitors. Visiting members will come from all parts of the state north of Indianapolis. ARK TOU RKADINO THE TIITESJ Wagon, box 26 inches this sale J) I fa Du':,ie bx Jin

II FOHY" PHONE Somebody over In Tolleston phoned Into Gary police headquarters at supper time last night saying that there was a big row on In a house at Eighteenth avenue and Main street. Right away Chief Martin, Capt. Newman, Detective Muckian and Patrolman Mlscovlch hoped into the auto patrol and It was driven at break-neck speed to the address given.

When the police arrived at the spot, which was on the board of the nearby woods no trace of the "corpse" was to be found. A frightened foreign woman stepped out from a cluster of bushes and told the chief that the woman they 'saw shooting had merely fired Into the air. She could not be found and her . name could not be learned by the police. It is said that the woman had been quarreling with her husband. The affair caused a good deal of excitement in that part of Tolleston. SEEN THESE BOYS? The following letter, received yesterday by Th times, Is self-eplana-tory: Chicago, Aug7, 1912.

HAMMOND

SUFFERS FROM Hammond is at the present tiros experiencing a pestilence of mosquitoes the like of which has not been known since the days when it was an undralned. pioneer village. Billions of the voracious pest are abroad nightly, and the trouble ls they are not content to remain abroad, but hungrily gain access to the most apparent securely screened residences, feasting all Viight on the blood of unfortunates who seek sleep In vain therein. Just how they manage to get inside in such large numbers has not yet been discovered, but It ls believed that they are of a smaller breed than usual and make their way more or less through the spaces between the wires, while with the opening of every door they swarm inside in a carnivorous army. They perch on the ceilings away out of reach until bed time, when with one accord they Invade the sleeping rooms, seeking what they may devour. In the morning anxious mothers scan the faces of their young helpful, fancying they observe traces of measles on the youthful physiognomies, for be it known a pest of measles as well as of mosquitoes prevails at the present time In the Twin Cities. The bites are so close together in many cases that the children's faces present an unholy appearance after a night of conflict with the tiny pest. The host of mosquitoes has revived the old parody on the time-honored ditty about the "pleasant days we spent down on the farm," as follows: "The mosquitoes, they were brutes. We all wore tight tin suits. To prevent them doing us bodily harm. But they very nearly planned. With can-openers in each hand. They almost killed us dead down on the farm." The prevalence of the mosquitoes has created a scarcity In tarleton and mosquito netting in this neck of the woods, there being a great demand for it for use as bed canopies. Most of the local merchants sold out this commodity several times wtthljr'the past few days. it is no uncommon sight for passers by on the streets at night to see within Illuminated homes where the pursuit of the mosquito Is on, staid business men leaping lightly Into the air armed with swatters, pursuing the

elusive insect. The chase once started generally proves most enticing, and difficulty Is experienced In getting the devotees to abandon their quest of the blood-thirsty game long enough to allow the rest of the household to get what interrupted sleep they may. The pest Is attributed to the unusual t fall of rain at this season of the year. At no time since the spring rains began have the low places been entirely drained, and pools and swamps breed .he pest, as is well known. But though human-kind suffers on account of the prevailing pest. It Is understood that dogs and cats and other small animals usually the prey of the festive sand flea are enjoying a season of unusual rest. The moisture, which has bred the mosquitoes, seems to have had a contrary effect upon sand fleas and the result ls that there ls an unusual scarcity of this form, of parasite. The ant nuisance which attained such large proportions last year ls conspicuous by Its absence this year, only a few housewives reporting trouble- from this source. The constant rains not only decreases the number of these pests, but curtails their activities.

It had once formed a building in this plant and the steel had been taken down and shipped for the purpose of building the plant yesterday demolished. It fell with a terrific crash while the wind was at Its height, startling the inhabitants for blocks away. From the lake front at Indiana Harbor the vivid play of the lightning over the lake, formed a spectacular display. Several crashed which accompanied brilliant- flashes simultaneously, suggested to those who were watching the storm that something; might have been struck in the near vicinity. This belief was augmented when the air was suddenly Tiled with, sulphurous fumes accompanied by what seemed to be the pungent odor of smoke from burning wood. The odors were traced however to the blast furnaces, the wind having changed suddenly, blowing the smells over toward the South Bay and the residences along Aldis avenue. INJURED ON G. & I.
