mobile, but the driver apparently did not understand and 6ped on. Another machine came Into view and the officer stepped In front and fired his revolver to attract attention. The driver stopped and the officers Quickly climbed on. They drove north on Northcote to Beacon street and down Beacon street to White Oak. then across to Chicago avenue, thinking to head the fugitive off as he made for Hammond. By this time both officers were chilled to the bone and stiff from exposure. The night was bitter cold. They turned back on Chicago avenue and returned to the police station to give the sergeant a description of the man and .enlist the departments of adjacent cities to assist in the capture. They had been at the station but a short time, when into the door walked the hunted man, cold, discouraged and worn out with the chase. He held up his hands and was taken into custody. An angry red mark showed on his left ear where Officer Gorman's bullet had grazed his head at the corner of Magoun avenue.

j It was then discovered that one of I his friends had been with him when the shots were fired and later Officer Gorman went to 490$ Melville avenue i and picked him up. His name is given as Gierrleno Qmaggi, 19 years old. and he says the efder man, 14 years old, is his uncle. 4S09 Melville avenue is the house where Jim Rossi lived when he shot Axel Bloom in an attempt to get Andy Bedish a few weeks ago. The name of the young lady in the case whose hand and heart were so ardently sought is Paulina Morelli. about 19 years old. The family live in the Friedman building, corner of Chicago and Forsyth avenues and G. Morelli and Co., have stores at 3401 Michigan avenue, Indiana Harbor, at 724 Chicago avenue and at 4706 Forsyth avenue, the shooting having taken place at the latter number.

S YOUR HAIR SLIPPING?

The presence of dandruff ani falling hair conveys a warning which it is best to heed. At first the loss cf hair may be so slight as to be hardly noticeable. But no matter how little may be the fall each day, it is working toward the same and inevitable result, and that is total baltlaesa. You may have hair enoueh today, but how about tomorrow and the dayafter? Dandruff and falling hair mean baldness sooner or later and demand the immediate resrular and energetic U3 of Newbro's Herpicide. It keeps the scalp free from dirt and dandruff and allows the hair to grow abundantly and naturally. Ey this mean3 total incurable baldness may be prevented. Herpicide does not stain or dye and has a most exquisite fragrance which makes it especially pleasing to the prices prevailing today, whicl prices are less than their replacement values, , based on today's market of leather and other materials. These prices, if applied to the shoes you have in stock, should enable you to secure a fair margin of profit on their present market values, for you are entitled to a profit based on aatual values at time of sale. During the past three months, we have supplied our customers with shoes for spring- at prices a proximately 30 per cent below the present coat of reproduction and have by these sales consumed the $10,000,000.00 worth of raw material previously secured for this purpose. Today the shoe manufacturer and shoe merchant must meet conditions which have at no previous time prevailed. Sole leather, upper leather, lir.inus, findings, cases and cartons will average to cost in around flgrures about 100 per cent more than in July and August, and -we cannot buy materials for definite "future delivery. Cnder normal conditions the United States imports from Germany, France, Russia, AustriaHungary and Belgium about SO per cent of its calf .kini!; from South America and Europe large quantities of solo leather hides: from India, Russia, . Mexico, Brazil, Africa and China come nearly all the kid, or goat skins the United States producing none. According to the U..S. government reports, we have 'exported to Europe this year Jl 27,000.000.00 more of leather and leather products than we have imported, thereby . curtailing to ah alarming degree our sources of supply and creating a shortage which has expressed Itself in the extreme and unusual prices for raw material. The market is strong with a limited supply of material indicating still higher prices; at the fame time, prices are now on such a high level that in our judgment caution and conservative action should bo used by merchants and manufacturers. Apparently the market will bo largely controlled by the continuance or cessation of the European war. None of us can pn diet wilh accuracy when he.i ilit ies will cease; but we have determined to limit our manufacturing to the actual needs of our customers and hold ourselves in readiness to meet the changing conditions of tho market, whether it be higher or lower. In this way we believe we can render to our trade the best service. Yours truly, ROBERTS, JOHNSON & RA.NP, F. C. RAND, President. St. Louis. JIo. CROWN POINT An innovation in the way of Christmas celebrations will be had in Crown Point this year, a municiptl Christmas tree being the principal feature, with a chorus of hundreds of voices and band concerts as attendant attractions.
