CITY LIBRARIAN STRIVE TO AID THE

Airs, sawyer, liDrarian or ine mm-, tnond Carnegie library, is taking great pains with juvenile readers. She has earned the co-operation of parents. school authorities and Sunday school teachers In her efforts to rightly guide the child mind. The "Story Hour" class, having met successfully between 10 and 11 o'clock for some time, is now an established institution. It is immensely popular with the children. To Put Kiddies Up Above. It is Mrs. Sawyer's wish that the children's room be arranged in the auditorium on the second floor, thus leaving more space for adults while at the same time affording the boys and girls better facilities and accommodations. This wish has been granted by the library board and cork carpets for the upstairs ordered. At a meeting of the board this week it was decided that the present reading room for juveniles will be turned over to the Hammond free publio night schools. Nine hundred are enrolled In the classes at Central school nd a reference library and study room is In great demand. Room for Night School Cue The number of students, long out of school, that together in the library dally is surprising. The patronage is far above that of former years and the demand for text books and works of education is much greater. Wilson H. Henderson, of the night schools, appeared before the board to GARY THEATRE 3? Last Times Tonight and Sunday. Sunday Matinee 2:30 VAUDEVILLE Featuring CREO THE MYSTERIOUS.

The board has ad ministered a constructive rule and Mrs. Sawyer has been instrumental in creating a desire for the best in lit erature among many of her patrons whose tastes were not admirable at first. Circulate Works of Masters. The Learning-Becker idea of placing the master musicians in free circula tlon is developing in committee. It Is expected that the committee will re port favorably and that within a short time those who so desire may draw from the library the bound compositions of famous musicians, together with their biographies. This will be a great accommodation and a means of educa tion. For the benefit of those that are not familiar with library hours, it is desired that they be announced. The library is open each day of the week from 9 to 9 and on Sundays from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. YARDS TO BE G AFFAIR The sum of $1,500,000 has been ap propriated by the directors of the New York Central railway system for the preliminary construction work of its vast clearing yards to be built on the west border of Gary, east of Hammond and south of East Qhicago-Indiaua Harbor. Grading Contract Awarded. This announcement follows the ac tion of the company's attorneys re questing the Gary board of public works to vacate certain portions of West Fifth avenue and Cllne avenue for the building of the clearing yards, which will employe 6,000 men. Grading and clearing contracts have been awarded but the succesful bidders have no been made known. Mayor &es Plans. In order to insure their co-operation complete plans and specifications of the yards were shown yesterday to Mayor Knotts, who is president of the board of public works. Ha Thorites Call On Mayor. A delegation from the Indiana Harbor Comerclal club yesterday afternoon called upon Mayor Knotts. The Harborites want the mayor to use his influence with the New York Central to Install viaducts In the new railway yards to be built in West Gary. Knotts replied that he wouldn't try to Interfere with the city's development and that Indiana Harbor should have looked out for its own interests. The Harbor people. It Is said, want a through road to Cedar Iaks. Scoville Leaves Town. Rev. C. J. Sharp, pastor of the Calumet Avenue Christian church, will close his week of fall rally days tomorrow with three big services. It is planned to have a thousand in the Sunday school. Over eight hundred were present last Sunday. Dr. Charles Reign Scoville and his company of evangelists are en route to Arkansas City, Ark., today, where they will enter into a union revival. Dr. Scovllle did not appear in the pulpit last evening and in his stead Rev. Sharp preached on "Decision and Destiny." Tomorrow morning he will talk of "Songs of Triumph" and in the evening on "Trumpets of Kternity." Building Leased. The Otto Knoerzer building at Muenich court and Hohman street Is practically leased throughout. Enough applicants have been filed to fill every suite. Carl Nelson, formerly with Kauffman & Wolf, will conduct a modern drug store on the first floor. His place of business will be visible from the four corners. Charles Miller is to reopen his buffet In the south room of the building. Make that cold room bearable with a Gas Heating Stove. No. Ind. Oas A Elec Co Adv. JStf

P. REILLEY NOW CALLED THE MAINTENANCE

Patrick Reilley, erstwhile truant officer, Is happy today for three varied reasons. Firstly and Secondly. To begin with he is no longer a truant officer, but a "Maintainance Officer," the same being more dignified and less harsh. In the second place Pat is made glad by the conduct of Hammond juveniles and the operation of the new fourteen to sixteen year clause in the compulsory education law. "There is less truancy this year than at any time before," he says. Hear Ye. Hear! Thirdly, Pat arises with the noteworthy observation that since school opened In September no one has spoken a cross word to him. Can you imagine that, living a month and a half in this scrappy world without having any one want to lick you, let alone talk back? "In order to be that fortunate," the former mayor said, "you have to be kind to everybody else. I hate to have anyone mad at me and so I am careful." It is Pat's religion. It is also good campaign thunder. Checking Namm. The maintenance officer if you

GARBAGE SERVES AS FILLER

FOR HIGHWAY Roosevelt avenue, the indignant east side thoroughfare, is glad to learn that there Is one other spot In this expansive city where it may be possible to dump garbage without inflicting disease and rats upon a thickly settled community. William Ahlborn, the contractor who Is extending Calumet avenue both north and south. Is at present engaged in spanning Lake George. Professional opinion is that unless riff raff or. bet ter Btill, garbage, is dumped on the sides, the wash, which is heavy, will wear away the road. There is no one living within suffi cient radis to kick. Rats are not liable to swim the lake. Tt will not be necessary to burn the garbage. Th onlv question that arises Is, will there be an objection to poluting Iake George? Would it be worse than disponing the tranquil Calumet river with sewage? An Engineering Kent. The spanning of I,ake George is a difficult Job. However Ahlborn is carrying it along rapidly owing to the modern facilities which he has at his command. The Indiana Harbor Belt has a branch line built for the occasion and over it material Is hauled to the exact spot where it is needed. Two team shovels are at work together with other equipment. Only fifty men are needed to do the work. The big machines save time, money and labor. In case the city deems it not wise to haul the garbage so far over uncompleted roads it devolves upon county commissioners to preserve the road

He is between three firing lines, the small boy who doesn't want to at tend school, his parents who desire that he work and the board of educa tion that demand that he go to school, Playgrounda Attract. "The playgrounds have solved a large part of the problem," Mr. Reilley said. "A boy who does not like school will attend just to be In on the fun before and after school and at recess. "The revising clause In the com pulscory education law, increases the power of my office," he went on. "We are going over a list of 850 names of boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 15. According to the new law they must either attend school or work with the permission of school authorlties. They cannot quit one Job and go to another as easily as before and the tendency is to bring them back to school. Parents are finding it a splendid law. You would be surprised t6 know the number of fathers and mothers who have no control over their children and the number of those who have not the patience to exercise any control." THROUGH LAKE way. It is desired that they do some thing at once toward getting riff raff In for while the railroad is being extended over the water the work could be done much cheaper. Powerful Machinery. Sand to make embankment is being taken from the lake. Two dredges arc at work. "Ahlborn is doing more for -greater Hammond than any other man," John Beckman said today. "What he does he does right no matter whether he is making money or loosing," said Teter Mon. At present Ahlborn is building two extensions on Calumet avenue, doing contract work In Kenwood, putting In the State Line pavement and building "Wall Street," the alley being Hoh man street banks. WELL, WHAT'S THE ANSWER? City beautiful plans in Hammond orginate In woman's clubs and end at the Erie right of way. It is the general opinion that of all drawbacks this city has the Chicago and Erie is the greatest. Sentiment of late has shifted until the coal storage and the island of switch tracks are no longer topics of Indignant conversation. The public is even tired of directing crlctlsm towards the Sibley street depot. People are patiently waiting for it to fall apart. Here is the latest bone of conten-

OFFICER

tlon. It comes direct from the civic clubs.

Why is the Erie allowed to main tain an eye sore in the center of Ham mond, such as the mud lot south of llohman stret, between the Nickle I Plate and the Erie? Cannot the city compel the road to pave? Public spirited citizens are saying: 'ls there any reason why our eyes must be offended dally by such a sight?" RSHALS VISIT FRUITLESS Federal court officers who came to Lake County yesterday in the hope of laying their hands on certain parties who were to bft brought before U. S. Commissioner Charles Surprise of Hammond for alleged violations of federal statutes went back empty handed. They found that a man whom they sought in South Bend had died and had been burled, and that two Gary men had left the Indiana federal court Jurisdiction, one going to Chicago and the other to Pensylvania. The officers who were present were Assistant District Attorney Clarence W. Nichols of Indianapolis and Deputy Marshals T. K. Martin and IX C. Kankinsr. Messrs. Nichols and Ranking returned to Indi anapolis today but Deputy Marshal Martin remained over to serve a number of subpoenas on Gary men who obtained their second papers some time ago and which the government is now seeking to cancel on the ground that they were obtained through fraud and misrepresentation. WHO'LL ANSWER THIS QUESTION Who's who In the Anti-Deep Sewer association? Friends of Louis Heckleman, chairmain of the association, give him the palm, while members of the Social ist party rally around the three mem bers of the finance committee. The latter, Chas. W. Delaney, C. E. Brewmaker and Alfred Simons, are divided among themselves politically. The question Is this: Has Heckleman, as chairman of the association, the right to call a meeting? The answer will be evident though in a gathering at Long's hall It is expected that the association will be there intact, imnus, of course, Alfred Simons, the bull moose candidate for mayor, C. W. Delaney, and other enthusiastic Socialists. Gun Club Shoot. Members of the Hammond Gun club will gather at Sharpshooters' park for their regular bi-weekly shoot Sunday afternoon and in their effort to hold a rousing meetings all members are earnestly requested to be present. In cluding the single trap events will be double target shooting. Elks Have Big Session. Over a hundred members were pres ent last night at the fall opening of the Elks' lodge and visitors were present from Michigan City, Hammond. Gary, Crown Point, Kouts and Chesterton Frank Hitchcock, exalted ruler of the Hammond lodge, conferred the degrees on a number of candidates. Refreshment and lunch were served after the business session. Valpo Vidette. ay Qgt AutO CenSUS. I " .... .... The "Seeing Kenwood lottery" in Hammond tomorrow, the ad for which appears in The Times today, will prob ably show how many automobiles there are in North township, as every auto owner is expected to turn out for the event. De Luxe Theater. The De Luxe management has In augurated a new matinee policy to start next Monday afternoon. In ad dition to their regular souvenir cou pons given with each ticket the hold ers of the lucky numbers will be pre sented with a box of Morse's choco lates at each performance. These raf fles will take place at each perform ance during the afternoon. Five or six boxes of candy will be given at each show. The idea is an original one and the management's aim is to stimu late interest In their dally matinees and at the same time show the public in general and ladles in particular the good quality of candy given for their regular coupons. Five reels of good photoplays changed dally and new and novel singing entertainers changed on Mondays and Thursdays, go to make the De Luxe one of the finest photo play houses In town. Where Are the Ponies? Boyle Woolfolk has become quite personage to theater going Hammond ites. The workmanship and success of his chaste musical tabloids has given him a Cohanesque reputation. One tried and true Orpheum patron arises to ask The Times. "What has become of the broilers and ponies?" Well, what has become of those hard working fascinating little sprites that made musical shows endurable in years pone by? Have they all grown up? Has the species ceased to exist? Manager Rommell says that he cannot answer the question, and Manager Sullivan passes it up. The tried and true OrphewTn patron wants Boyle Woolfolk to revive the pony ballet. AUTOIST INJURED. George Yonker of Chicago was injured on the Dolton-Hammond road Thursday evening when his motor car swerved Into a ditch and pitched him over a fence. Yonker was badly bruised. The machine after bucking its driver sailed head-on into a telegraph pole. The accident occurred a mile west of Hammond

"THE M EAM'.ST LITTLE fl'SS", T1IK STIXKI2SU LITTLE DANCING MASTER. Editor Times: Will you allow one of your citizens who is supported and respected by the best people of Hammond, the laboring class, the society people, business men and their wives to be attacked and ridiculed by a sensational money-getter in the guise of an evangelist, who is too cowardly to come out in the open and fight like a man? If not please give this article some of your valuable space. I notice in Tkb Times of last night the article on the good and holy work of the evangelist Bev. Scovllle, wherein he choses to dictate to our ladies how they must dress that his delicate sensibilities may not be shocked. That his high sense of morals should be emulated by Dame Fashion. The poor old Dame! More's the pity. Should she go about in high neck gowns with a long face and a fowl mouth like out divine evangelist telling our young and innocent daughters stories of sensa tionalism such as the unfortunate girl-1 mother etc? We pray not, men who are men, dress their wives and daughters as becomes them best and not with high neck dresses that act as a rope to strangle them. WThy in the name of Heavens don't this sensational imitator of Sam Jones and Billy Sunday dress as did Jesus, live as did Jesus, preach as did Jesus and not follow the example and style of dressing of the confidence men and circus barker whom we all know to be cowards and rooks? When a man of the cloth chooses to call names, destroy the respect of the public for an individual and will not mention the name of the man. this man of the cloth Is a coward. He fears the Jl
