Gary Fast Becoming Home of Slav Races.
Durinx 1012 there nfr 7SO Mrtli In Ciary. But XU3 of hea blrtha were of American parentage.. SIX children were bora to foreign bora parents. Kerf lilt r lu the Irian. Jewish. Rngllnh, Scotch, W rlah and Canadian raeea does not exlitt In (iarjr for but 23 children were born to parents of these raeen. Of the total foreign births 317 m ere to Slav people.
Although returns from midwlves are
not given reports turned in by doctors
show that the stork paid 780 visits to Gary during 1912. The grim reaper
carried off 452 of the steel city resi
dents. These nd other facts are given in the annual report of the health board
of which l)r, W. S. Faulds is the president.
How Births Are Claaalfled. Parentage of the children born of
foreign parents are as follows:
Austrian (including Croatia, Eal-
matia, Bohemia, but not Hungary. 157
Polish , SS Hungarian .72 Kueslan 34
Italian 24 Galatian 22 Croatian , 22
Irish, English, Scotch, Welsh,
Canadian 22
German 15
Swedish 12
Slavish 10 Norwegian 3 Jewish 1
Mongolian 1
Of the births 771 were of white par
entage and 8 of negro parentage and 1 of Mongolian parentage. The Jewish child born Is of parents that were born In Jerusalem. , r ,
It should be noted that nearly half of
the births In Gary are of the Slav race 317 In all. The total children born of
foreign parents was 483 as compared with 262 born of American parents.
D-atn. Ut Heavy. Of the 452 Gary people who died last
year 289 were males and 163 females. Seventy-five of the deaths were caused by accidents in the steel mills, by automobiles, falls, and railroad accidents.
Cholera Infantum claimed 79 children,
tuberculosis caused 26 deaths, diphtheria caused 18 deaths, and 4 killed
themselves. There were 63 still births
and 23 premature births, and 4 suicides
But 4 typhoid deaths occurred, this belngattribute d to the excellent sani
tary conditions.
Appended to the report Is the subreport of the health inspector. John
Dorman, and the city matron, Mrs. R. M. Charleton. Little Girls Are Sacrificed.
Mrs. Charleton laments in her report
because the city has been unable to stop the employment of young girls in the Greek poolrooms and coffee houses of the city. Young girls of tender age
live In these poolrooms where from
fifteen to twenty men reside.
The police at one time stated a
crusade against this form of white
slavery but It ended very shortly. From
no Uary pulpit has there ever came a
protest against the employment of little girls In reBorts of this character. News
papers of the city exposed conditions
existing on several occasions but no ra suits were obtained.
A NEW SYSTEM
TO KILL HI-KOST
The Youhg Men's Tailors of Ham
mond have inaugurated a new system
of selling direct from the mills to the consumer. Mr. Greenberg, the proprie
tor. Is a strong booster for anything

contract with Mr. Greenberg agreeing to furnish him all the woocSens needed
at greatly reduced prices. Greenber

that Mr. Brooks is a full-edged mortician and has been able to keep the secret for more than a year. Before Mr. Brooks came to Hammond he was a student of the International College of Kmbalming of Chicago and since his residence here has taken a post-graduate course during his spare hours at night, receiving a diploma with honors. During the past six months Mr. Brooks has been the assistant of Undertaker Charles C. Neidow, who was instrumental In Mr. Brooks receiving such a successful course and license. During Mr. Brooks' residence in Hammond he has acquired a wide circle of friends who wish him success In his new accomplishment. Although he will still continue as manager of the Lake County Loan company and assist
ant to sir. Neidow, his friends wouldn't be surprised in time to see him branching out in his own establishment in some other city.

postoffice bad been greatly effected by the recent parcels post law, raid that as yet there has not been any great increase, but he felt that before long the
new law would make the deliveries

Mr. Nedjl said he had noticed particularly that several of the large Chicago stores had taken advantage of the new law by sending parcels through the mail, this being especially true of Sears, Roebuck and company. A civil Bervice examination for postoffice clerks was recently held, for the purpose of having an eligible list from which to secure an additional clerk as soon as the business warrants It.
