SUE (Br Club Official.) The members of the Civic department Of the Hammond Woman'i Club are learning the conditions existing In their own city ai perhaps no other organized body In the city is doing. Several weeks ago they obtained milk from every milk station in Hammond and made tests for fats, dirt, and formaldehyde and found condition! not up to requirements of the law. Further tests are to be made. The next work this department, did was to walk down every alley in Hammond and try to find . where the fault lay In Hammond having such dirty alleys. This past week the committee made a tour of , Inspection through factories. churches, picture show houses, stores, and school houses, to see the condition of the ventilation In these places. The committee found some of the picture show houses ventilated by usingpf fumeVTiy.' fie -gallon to "counieract the odors that ' arise ' from, the crowds that attend- the shows. Some of the factories have regular ventilating systems while others have what they term "the best on earth," which consist of skylights and windows. These "the .Civic department committees found were pretty good if used, but in most cases are seldom opened. In most of Hammond stores the "system" was fairly good except where there were basements in use and in these there, was practically no ventilation whatever. In the churches and school buildings the greatest fault was found In that windows are not opened often enough. The ventilation in the street cars on cold days is so terrible the committee decided to reserve one whole meeting to street cars in regard to foul air. fl

At each civic meeting a copy of the city ordinances is on hand and yet these ordinances seem to be of such little value or such, little attention paid to them that the ladies feel they will have, to begin studying state laws, make reports Ho state health officers .state factory and building in spectors etc. If the men in Hammond do not want the-women to vote, they had better see to cleaning up the city, and handling the city funds to a better advantage, for the women are beginning to realize that the men of the city are- somewhat lax in the way the city is taken care of. They feel this cause arises from the fact that most of the men are so busy in their own particular line of buslnes. that they fail to see the con ditions as they actually exist In Ham mond.

The feud began when Alderman Pascaly built a one-room, store-front shop on the sidewalk line west of the Linz place. This was most displeasing to the Linz family. They would not have taken it so to heart, it is said, had John not built his brick shop jam against the Martin flat. It knocked the class all out of the Linz place as viewed from the west side and Mrs. Ada Linz claimed that when she drove her electric out. or Martin sailed forth in his machine they felt as if they were coming from a garage. Therefore, Martin had a survey made which he claims shows that Pascaly is a couple of Inches too far west. "You have gotta get over," ordered Linz In his big bass, in just the same manner as the West Hammond council resolved against Hammond. Now Martin is back from New York to see that Alderman John obeys. "Its a game of checkers and its his move," he states. Within a few daya Linz threatens to let the law take its course.

That the United States government is to blame solely for the complicatioa over the State lane surveying fiasco is the written opinion of Former County Surveyor W. F. Bridge who at the request of THE TIMES has gone into a deep and exhaustive article on the situation. Mr. Bridge's official statement which should be read by every interested person Is as follows: Hammond, Ind, Nov. 24, 1913. Editor of Times, Hammond, Indiana. Dear Sir: I have been asked by The Times to give my opinion of the much-talked or state line question. It is' a decidedly complicated situa tion, owing to errors which were made in the original serveys by tne govevnment.

The "I Should Worry" company played In the Orpheum theatre In Hammond during the latter, part of August and also appeared in Gary earlier in the month., The dramatic criticism of the show printed In the Herald was as follows: "The Qaulity of Mercy forbids us to comment on the new bill at the Orpheum.
