Mrs. Otto H. Rabe, 36 Williams street, a guardian of Camp Fire Girls, who is doing a great work for humanity, has a sermon to preach and Is looking for new audiences. The text Is found In the wild wood and the running stream and is as old as the hills themselves. It tells the secret of happiness, which Is no Becret at all, for everyone secretly knows all about It. "Come out In the open. and learn the Indian crafts," Mrs. Rabe says. "Healthcraft, woodcraft, and homecraft, lead to happiness."

The hour's delay which occurred in Hammond Saturday morning on the Michigan Central was explained by the, mayor as due to two accidents, Erie and C. & O. passengers were held up by a broken freight and although the police were able to open Hohman street for pedestrians Green Line service was delayed for an hour and cars piled up while passengers fumed. According to the report of the chief of police a broken draw bar caused the first delay. ..When an effort was .made to open Calumet avenue another draw bar broke leaving the freight a helpless cripple. Mayor Smalley received
to Proprietor a call at his-home from the Erie in
ment of some kind in consideration.
SECOND PAPERS BEING ISSUED
Second papers are now being issued in the clerk's office of the Lake superior court at Hammond, and since the arrival of the necessary blanks twelve papers have already been made out. The issuance of a second paper takes about ten times as long as the making out of a first paper or a declaration of Intention. It becomes necessary therefore for prospective applicants to appear before the clerk by appointment, as arrangements have been made to issue the papers after the ( regular
routine of the day.
Another Arrest. On a warrant charging him with assault and battery, A. F. Carmichael wa arrested by Special Officer Flck at the Standard Steel Car works yesterday afternoon. Masc Simanzik of East Hammond will appear as complaining witness in the trial before City Judgo Barnett next Saturday morning. Carmichael furnished the necessary bonds for his appearance.

Bowling League "Busts." " Lack of enthusiasm and support among the members of the HammorijJi city bowling league, which was orga-' ized over a month ago, resulted in th pinmen disbanding last week. The lack of interest In bowling this year can not be accounted for and for the .first time, in years Hammond is without a city "bowling league. Pinmen who took part in the city series are now rolling with Gary and other teams in the region. Although the Hammond city league is' no more the city has several five-men teams who are doing good work on the alleys.
