The meeting was under auspices of the " Chicago Association of Dancing Mas ters. There were present also dancing masters from Milwaukee and Racine. All agreed that for some time there has sen a general demand for the tango. "What is the tango?" was asked almost as soon as the meeting was con vened. "There appears to be a general Belief that the tango is a most improper x 3ance, one which should be relegated to the lower class of dance halls, if not

"We all know the tango Is an Importation from the Argentine republic, where It Is to some extent a national dance. Instead of being exotic. Intoxicating perhaps improper it is really merely a quaint, exhllart. Ing dance, pretty to look at and rather difficult to execute properly.

Adopt "Denatured" Tango. Mr. Huntlnghouse and his assistant. Miss Pearl ;Waite, then demonstrated what might. In view of the general view of the tango, be termed a de natured version one upon which the Chicago Association of Dancing Masters has set the seal of approval. There was no suggestion of the "bunny hug," the "grizzly bear," nor "kindred dances. Instead it was more graceful. much prettier, and a dance reulrlng more skill than any of the. proscribed measures.

Because his wife refused to give him money with which ho , wanted to pur chase liquor, John KlaczynsKi, 2 4 155th Place, "West Hammond, took peculiar means to scare her yesterday afternoon when he drank a quantity of ammonia. For a time Klaczynski's condition was critical and . he was 'rushed to St. Margaret's hospital in Stewart's ambulance. Dr. Ostrowskt stated this morning that the man would recover. During the afternoon, B?laczynskl had been drinking heavily. He came home and asked his wife for some ' more money. Seeing that he hart a great plenty she refused to give1 him any more money. Aparently angered, he went to a shelf, where he secured a bottle of ammonia. Tipping the bottle to his Hps Klaczynskl drained the contents before his wife could interfere. He fell to the floor In an unconscious condition and later was removed to St. Margaret's - Hospital. Physicians worked on him for nearly an hour, before they pronounced him out of danger. Klaczynskl is employed as a laborer and' it Is probable, that It will be many a da ybefore he endeavors to scare his wife, again.

HAMMOND, INDIANA, MONDAY,

WAN TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION Ilayor Smaller rrd Hzzrl . : Eliminated. - ' Mayor Smalley and the members ot the board of public' works today studied the situation as it exists at the Intersection of Oakley avenue and Fayttte and Russell streets, with view of eliminating a sharp corner in the highway. If Russell street were extended east beyond Oakley avenut it would meige into Fayette stree't a hundred east of Oakley avenue. Inasmuch, however, as Russell street ends in Oakley avenue, j vehicles are compelled to make two j sharp turns if they want to turn from I Russell street into Fayette street, or i vice versa."' Condemning a small piece of vacant private property at the southeast corner of Oakley avenue and Fayette street, belonging to Fred Klitzke, and using it for street purposes, would relieve the situation very much, and this is being advocated by Councilman John Kane.
