Wattles; for the pleasant rambles Where the fragrant hawthorn-bram
bles. With the woodbine alternating;. Scent the dewy way. Ah! my heart la weary watting, Waiting for the May. Ah! my heart la sick with longing;. Longing for the May, Loan-las; to escape from study To the young fare fair and ruddy. And the thousand charms belonging To the summer's day.
Ah! my heart Is slek with loagtag. Longing for the May. Ah! my heart Is none with sighing, Sighing for the May. Sighing for their sure returning. When the summer beams are burning. Hopes and flowers that, dead or dying. ' All the winter lay. Ah! my heart is sore with sighing. Sighing for the Msy.
Ah! my heart is pained with throb-
blag. Throbbing for the May, Throbbing for the seaside billows. Or the water-woolag wtllowsi Where, la leaghlag and la sobbing. Glide the streams away.
Ah! my heart, my heart Is throbbing.
Thrabblag for the May. Waiting sad. dejected, weary. Waiting far the May) Spring goes by with wasted warnings.

our present Japanese use the language

them the language of Maupassant or
Gorki, and the language of Oscar Wilde was quite a fashion here a year

WAR MEMORIES.
With the celebration next July of the semi-centennial of the battle of Gettysburg by the soldiers of the
States that participated in the en
gagements there probably the last
great encampment of civil war veter
ans will be seen, and no effort nor expense will be spared to make the event a success and an enjoyable as well as a historic one. A number of
Lake County veterans are to attend. The camp, which will care for 40, 00 a veterans, both Union and Confed
erate, will open at supper on June 29
and close after breakfast on July 6
Preparations are in charge of the Quartermaster's Department of the Army, and as a detail it may be said that 800,000 meals will be provided
for the survivors who were on the

Nature began making Kenwood addition five of ten thousand j-ears ago. We
have the exact figures concerning everything else about the addition excepting this.
At any rate a good many thousands of vears ago this coimtrv was covered
with a great sheet of ice. This ice moved from the north to the south, a few feet every
year, like an enormous river. Such formations of ice are called glaciers.
This glacier receded, leaving long beaches here- and there. There is one at
Dyer, one at Highland, one at Hammond, running through Kenwood addition. These beaches are the only elevations of land in northern Lake count.
Thus while the rest of Hamond is built in the sloughs, where houses must be erected on stilts in order to provide a basement; deep cellars are possible in the Kenwood addition. , Advantage has been taken of this and the sewers are from six to twelve feet under the ground. Thus the houses will be more attractive and the cellars more valuable. Beautiful terraced lawns are possible. Kenwood is the only place in Hammond where the basement garage is possible. Think what that means. Many of these lots are four, five, six and seven feet above the grade of the street. , The elevation makes it possible to build a driveway on an easy grade into the basement, where a part of the space that is usually wasted can be used for a garage. There is $400 to $600 saved. And think of the convenience of having vour automobile in a comfortable base
ment from which you can drive in the cold spring and fall months without spending
halt an hour to warm up your engine. You may not expect to get a car right away, but when you do the basement garage will save you money.

CONFINED TO HER NOTES.
A young mother who sings at occasional concerts has a new kind of
a grouch against her husband. Being
a modern singer, she never sings un
less she has her music; he, being a modern husband, incidentally watches over the baby while she is doing her concert work. The other night, when
the clock pointed to about 2:30, the baby of the family awoke, and by screaming lustily, awoke father and mother. Father sprang out of bed.
THE WATER PROBLEM AGAIN, over to the crib and, picking up the
The people of Hammond are pretty'
well convinced that Hammond's water problems are real ones due to the lack of proper Intake facilities. Last winter when THE TIMES put the spot
light on the water situation, not in
an effort to discredit the management
of the waterworks of the city adminis
tration but to point out a real danger to the city needle ice, the administra
tion organ pointed to the 6tock yards
situation as being typical of that in Hammond except that it occurred in a large city with limitless resources.
It develops, as THE TIMES might
have pointed out at the time, that
the trouble with the water in the
stock yards district is not a difficulty
with needle ice but insufficient carrying capacity in the mains.
Hence Hammond's defense is a poor
one. The fact is that Hammond is
unable to do anything until the constitution of the state is amended to give growing municipalities greater borrowing power. Reasoning further
municipal ownership of water works, in this case, Is a failure owing to the
fact that the city of Hammond Is not
on the same financial basis, has not
the same borrowing power, as a private corporation.
This is not an argument in favor
of the taking over of the Hammond
Water works by a private utility corporation. It is an argument in favor of a campaign to increase the borrowing power of municipalities .

THE REVOLT OF DECENCY. From the pulpits of two Roman Catholic churches in and near New York last Sunday there was read an editorial from the New -York Sun
bearing on the notorious dances com
monly known as the "Turkey Trott." the "Bunny Hug," the "Bear Cat" etc. The editorial should be read especially by the respectable girl who participates in these immodest dances, which seem to be tolerated even in an atmosphere of good surroundings.
suit to intelligence. There remains on those possessing knowledge and . conscience the Inescapable duty of protecting the ignorant and the weak as much from their folly as from the designs of the vicious. The task Is to exert every Influence to prevent the loss of such ground as has been gained by society in its history long struggle for moral progress, a loss that is Inevitable if such dances as are now under consideration are tolerated. Far from being "new," these
are a reversion to the grossest practices of savage man. They are based on the primitive motive of thfe orgies enjoyed by the aboriginal"' inhabitants of every uncivilized land. Their movements and steps have been described with exactitude by explorers and missionaries to those peoples we are accustomed to regard as inferior. The culminating extravagances are identical with the ends sought by the benighted heathen,' save only that the heathen Is redeemed by a frankness of terminology and conduct that has not yet been attained here. In commenting on the editorial after he had read it from the pulpit Father Donelly, reotor of St. Francis Xavier's church, said: Now that does not come from a church paper, that is not from the Catholic Times nor any other organ of a church, but from a non-sectarian paper, one might call it a pagan paper. If newspapers are so stirred up by the terrible conditions existing, what should we of the church think; what must be the truth; what must be our duty? It is unnecessary for me to add anything at this time. Why our local pulpits have been
silent on this important subject suggests the need for action now. As early as January 1911 an expose in THE TIMES succeeded in ending the notorious dances of this 'character given at the Garden hall in Gary. Other clergymen would do well to read this editorial from their pulpits.

That the police authorities of New York should be driven to a close inspection of the many dance halls now open to those whose idle or weak dispositions have drawn them to the miscalled "new dances" was inevitable.
