But a few days ago Mayor Knotts was going to call in the state board to settle the scarlet fever squabble between the city and school health doctors and now th mayor and the local doctors are going to make the state officials come to time. The state board In giving out Gary's death rate places it at 22.5 per 1,000 inhabitants. It is based on the federal census of 1910. which gives the city 16.802 population whereas the actual population is now. 40,000, which would make the death rate down around the 10 mark. Steps will be taken to have the heaUh officials of the state make their figures on the Present basis and if they don't the governor will be appealed to. Tlo " . growing cities of the region demand a reckoning on present and not the 1910 j population as the present reckoning places th city In a false light. GRAND TRUNK TO PUSH CONSTRUCTION . . - , . .

I LITTLE HOPE FOR THE POPE Physicians Believe That the Pontiff's End Is Near. Rome, Italy, April 17. 11:45 a. m. The Italian government, desiring to be sure of the real condition of Pius X. today summoned those directly responsible for the care of his health. The pope's physicians responded to the ap peal for a direct statement with the frank declaration that it wag extreme ly difficult to say that the pontiff's constitution would overcome the pres ent crisis, but even If it does so, it

was explained, the pontiff's condition till would be considered precarious nd the end might be expected any time. - . Optimistic Jffws Is Issued. Later, however, the pope was proounced so much better, according to reports from the Vatican,- that if presnt conditions continue ihe last bul letin about his health will be published by the physicians tomorrow. In this the doctors will declared thaif they are confident of the pontiffs recovery. Y. M. C. A. AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL NOTES Seven men from ' the Gary Heat, Light and Water company are now en rolled in the Y. M. C. A. Institute for chemistry. The work is starting oft with a vim and swing that- bids fair to be wholly successful. The class will meet during the summer months jrefrularly since the men are very anxious o get ready for gas analysis. Mr. A. D. Cook, the hustling young man for the Y. M. C. A. extension work among the E. J. & E. employees, has J put much energy into the coming ban- j quet for these men on Thursday evening, the 26th inst. Supt. S. T. May, of Madison, S. D.J who spent last week In Gary studying the public school system, stated that he first heard of the Gary schools through a traveling man. He said that a party of men were driving through southern Canada a year or so ago looking up land. Among the party was this knight of the grip who got to talking with Mr. May on topics in general. The conversation finally drifted to school matters, the gentleman " remarking that he had two fine youngs ters at home, who were both in the high school. It was at this point that he mentioned the Gary schools. It seems that a couple of years ago he was in Gary, went to the Emerson, and in his own way made a personal investigation. He was so impressed with the things he saw that it has become a habit with 'him to talk Gary's educational facilities whenever and whereever he gets the chance. The man has never been in Gary since, but he is still advertising the city in ways that are not harmful. Parents should remember the meet ings that are called for theirs and their children's interests during the year at the different school buildings.

This Is the time of year when the average youth . will have to take an extra strong hold - of himself if he is meet, and, overcome the temptation to leave school. . .The days add their part to the temptation because of their challenge for -the out door life; the tempting Job. comes along to add to the difficulty; the study hours during spring days have nothing inherently attractive - about them.' Hence, the tendency for the week-willed youth to quit his school. ' The ' self-poised lad thinks twice or thrice before giving up , that which means so much to his entire future. He thinks of the next fifty or sixty years of his life, not merely the present hardships which he attaches to

school life. This latter view of the situation is the deciding factor that persuades him to play his part like a man In school; not to run awal like a little kid. The military school at Culver, Ind., is a fine institution. The school is situated on the banks of the Maxin-

kuckee Lake which is thirteen miles in circumference. The school has about 350 cadets from fifteen tl twenty-one years of age a fine lot of young fellows. The cost per pupil at the Bchool is about $900 annually. The course of study about equals that of a first-clasn high school. The boys are free to tako up any line of "work that they wish upon completion "of their course there. CLUB TAKES UP FRANCHISES The East Chicago Commercial club held a meeting last night at which one of the main features of business was the consideration of the application by the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Street Railway company for a fran chise over the newly opened Dickey place, from Indiana Harbor to Whit ing. Peter Crumpacker, the Hammond at torney, was present to plead the cause of the street car company, as was also H. M. Easterly of Chicago, the engineer for the Green , line. Mr. Crum packer said he aske the co-operation of 'the club in getting the measure fa vorable consideration at the hands of the board of pu&Jie-works and the city council. He stated that the proposi tion was not a new one with his com pany. and that In making application for a franchise the Green line was neither following in the wake of nor seeking to oppose the Gavit interests, who had applied for a franchise over the same thoroughfare. "Our compa ny," said Mr. Crumpacker, "asked for a similar franchise some years ago, but ' no action on it was ever taken. We are not 'bucking the Gary & Interurban. I hope that both companies will secure the franchises they are seewing." . The attorney declared his faith in the future of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago in glowing terms, declaring that they need take a back seat for no city in the region, the canal being an asset that could not be too highly appraised. He considered the Twin Cities the heart of the Calumet region. The line he represents seeks its franchise over Dickey place as far as 129th street, at which point its tracks are to divorge to meet the present tracks in Forsyth avenue. The Gary & Interur ban seeks the right to run its tracks in Dickey place as far as Standard ave nue and thence on into Whiting. Mr. Crumpacker dwelt on the neces sity of a franchise being granted be fore May 1 In order that the company be given an opportunity to get rid of its bonds. He stated that this improvement was only one of a number con templated by his line. His company, he declared, wished to double track Forsyth avenue and to get new rolling stock. ' ' The club adopted a motion to use its influence in getting the proposed mea sure through the city council. WOMAN lOOjJtTEVER ILL. Wabash, Ind., April 17. Mrs. Sarah Derrickson, born in Kentucky, April 16, 1813, yesterday celebrated her one hundredth birthday anniversary at her home here.

Those who are returnir.g claim that la ' Gary. It is a question of meet.ns the high rents, because of the lack ol houses, and then stint on other necessities of life, or else have them and live In cramped fashion. . 4 Gary continues to be in need of morg than 1,000 homes.
