Present indications are that the baseball season is closed for 1912 as far as Crown Point is concerned.

consideration in determining whether the season shall be prolonged for two weeks or not.

tender. It was hidden when the federal inspector called for fear he would discover the violation of the liquor law.

At the Police Station.

Dog- days are not over and will not be until the last of this month. So if you want to spare Fido's life keep him muzzled or chained up. ho he will be safe. The doj? .squad of the Hammond police are still hunting unmuzzled dops and, although there are not many found running at large, there are a few diepoped of nearly every day. Since the dog crusade was started by Chief Austgen two months ago in the neighborhood of seventy dogs have been killed. Topic of conversations now on file at the Hammond police station: Who will be the champion baseball team in two weeks, the tiremen or the police? If you do not know, this question will be decided in several weeks at the 71. A. A. park, when the two rival factions will get together for the. last time this season and settle their differences. T5oth the police and the firemen have a game apiece to their credit and. although

both are now laying claim to having

the best team, they have decided that the winner of the coming garnie will be

hailed as the champions.' There was

some, talk of Captain Hanlon not play

ing his best last time on account of

a bet he had made, but he is a-oine- into

the game, body and soul this time and watch the smoke. Schulte, rtrst baseman for the firemen, had a chance to sign up with the Bloomers Girls, but he will not accept. Many complaints have been made to the police of late regarding the owners of chickens allowing them to run at large and destroying lawns and gardens. This morning another report came in at the station, Charles Kompek, 1240 Harrison street, stating that the neighbors crickens were allowed to run at large every day and were destroying his garden. Many people In Hammond are not aware that there is an ordinance covering this violation and arrests can be tnade and the "lolators punished under this section. A report was ifcade to the police this morning to the effect that Detroit street, at the Monon tracks, was blocked nearly all last night, where a car, which had been switched had been left standing. This is another case off pure negligence on the part of the Monon railroad employes, who could have moved the car twenty or thirty feet and left the crossing open. It is plain that the railroads pay no heed to warnings that have been issued, and possibly If several arrests would be made these crossing violations would stop. Although the Hammond police have few clues which will lead to the arrest of a number of vandals who broke into the Lincoln school Monday night, it is now thought that the misdemeanors were done by some Kast Hammond boys, who, if raught, will be arrested and severely punished. . Entrance was gained through a window of the school and. after getting inside, the young vandals ransacked the desks, turned things upside down, and not satisfied with this, wrote obsence language on the blackboards. The vandalism was discovered by Miss Symmes, principal of the Lincoln school, next morning, and made a report to the police. Things were quiet as a calm sea at the police station last night, not an arrest being made and few reports of importance being sent in. his is the

nrst quite spell that has prevailed at the police station in some time, but they do not want to brag, as they can expect an outbreak f crime at aov time.

Seventy-five per cent of the business

men in this country declare that the chief educational need of their em

ployes is a better knowledge of Eng

lish, including spelling, grammar and

punctuation and the use of words in

general.

Stenographers crowd to answer an

advertisement announcing a position paying $4 a week, because they are

not qualified to demand higher wages.

Thousands of stenographers and type

writers trained in the art of. making "pot-hooks" and tapping the typed

keys are eking out an, existence on meager wages. These statements have a direr-t bearing upon the proposition that The Times is offering you, the new Websterian 1912 Dictionary, illustrated, and give reason for the popularity of the distribution. Jet out of the $4 class. Or, if you are not so poorly paid as that, at least become busy and take advantage of the opportunity, which is bringing hundreds to the Dictionary Department every day. Six coupons clipped from consecutlva issues of The Times and the small expense bonus specified in the display advertisement on another page of th's issue do the trick, and permit you to turn the tables upon what you havo regarded as misfortune when it was only your own ignorance weighing upon you and the limitations of your vocabulary binding you down. Good authority as to the need of education is Director Edward Rynearson of the Pittsburg high school. When reorganizing the commercial department of high schools and inaugurating the night school system, he wrote to most of the representative business men of I'ittsburg, asking them to co-operate by suggestions ps to what subjects of Instruction Phould be given the greatest attention. This is what he reports: "Of those replying, 75 per cent consider English (including spelling) essential. 6S per cent bookkeeping, 6S per cent penmanship, 2S per cent shorthand," etc., showing that the lamentable lack of English was considered to be deserving of first attention. Asked what defects they noticed most frequently among their employes the great majority replied that they de-

What Happened to Youche. Julian Youche of Crown Point, the well-known bond broker, is something of u tennis player. He Is regarded as the Iwst player in his class und he is in a class by himself. Incidentally he is a member of th Hammond Country club. The other day he walked over to the tennis courts, watched the players for a while, yawned, stretched his arms and sighed for a chance to take on some one who could give him an argument A. M. Turner sought to cure the sudden attack of ennui. He searched Hammond high and low, but there was no one who could make things interesting for Julian. Again the young Crown Pointer yawned and stretched his arms. "I'll come back some time and maybe you can find some one who can give me an argument," said the young millionaire from the Hub. The other day he came back. He was introduced to Charles Anderson, of the Goldsmith Hetinning companv at Kast Chicago. Mr. Anderson said he had played some- tennis and would be glad to give Youche the opportunlty to stretch his legs. Five sets were played and Anderson won all of them. The contest ended on account of darkness. When Mr. Youche returned to the county seat he positively refused to see the reporters. He has a good excuse, however, as he hasn't played for ten years.
