Residents of Gostlin street, west, of Sheffield avenue, have become a rather hard Jot to startle for they are not surprised at anything whieh travels east on !hst thoroughfare. They ware, however, forced to raise their eyebrows this forenoon when an East Ohiraso Kord auto with a Form -a-truck body sailed blithely down the center of the street minus a driver. There wasn't a human being n hoard the flivver. Following her course with curious eyes, Gostlin street people saw Lizzie siick strictly to the middle of the pavement for more than'a block. She passed over the intersection of Sheffield avenue with a good natured rattle, hesitated for a moment and then seeing the nice warm car barns of the Hammond. AVhitlng and East Chicago street railway, turned a short corner and shot in the big doors. It was in the barn that J.izzie came to grief. She tumbled upside down Into one of the repair pits and lay on her back kicking, 4 frantic and helpless. Henry Brown, driver of the F d. which belonged to the Hastings Kxpiess company of East Chicago, pursued the machine to its door. He had lieen knocked to one side after cranking the engine and in this manner was left behind. It appears that Elizabeth Viad been in a hurry to be up and going and Brown, who lives in East Chicago, was not in tune with her temperamental attitude of mind. When Brown called up the Hastings Express company and told his story he was given what is commonly known as the "merry ha ha." j ETTK KKIXERMAV ART (AIKM)AB FBKE "V Daughter of the Gods" is tho t.tle of the million dollar picture e..i vrMuced bv William Fox. iiculuui. - . featuring Annette Kellermann in all lier loveliness.

Mike Inik, who shot up the court room in Hammond a few weeks asro. injuring' Judge Charles Greenwald. son-in-law of I'eter Mlchaely, of this city, and two others, is now- safely behind prison bars in this city. The prisoner, minus his coat of mail, arrived this afternoon with a party of seven other criminals from Irfike county. Inik was committed to the hospital for the criminal insane, and there he will remain until prison authorities see fit to release him. In the event he some day is found to be of sound miiwl, he likely will be returned to Lake county to face prosecution roihis crime.

In the first place, it says the law is not a police regulation for the protection of citizens of Indiana, because oils and gasoline are no longer dangerous. It says that the oil inspection law is- nothing Vn re than a revenue raising law, as shown by the fact that 50 percent of the inspection fees go into the state treasury. It says, too, that the inspections, as they are made in Indiana, are no good and that neither buyer or seller of oils pays any attention to them. Abolition of the oil inspection department would wipe out one of the main supports of any political machine that might have control of the state. There is one chief inspector and more than fifty deputy inspectors scattered through the state, who make all the way from $Si0 to $2.:.o0 a year with very slight effort. The jobs always have been regarded as purelypolitical pie, to be passed around by the state administration machine to des"rving politicians for whom other places cannot be found. Goodrich has said all along that he would seek tc abolish the oil inspection department and have its work done by the pure food and drug department at a much lower cost, thus saving many thousands of dollars. It looks now as if the department is in for a bad season. Golden opportunities for yoa In TIMES want ada. 'Fancy Currants, lb. pkg 24?

"To enter Into a league of peace or decree to do so, or to commit the country to that policy without the advice or consent of the senate. "It is far better that secret diplomacy insofar as vital policies arc concerned to lie done away with forever." "I am at a loss to account for the se cret moves made by the president." said Senator "Weeks. "The president formerly conferred with the senate on matters of this character.' said Senator Sutherland. "Alout three years ago wher. the Mexican situation was foremost in public interest ho suddenly stopped these conferences. He is not obliged to confer with any one, but preater results could be obtained by the old methods. I am sure." It was frankly admitted in administration circles today that there would be for the time being at least no right? about face in the matter or secret council." It is the administration's viewthat the government should be willing ! to bear criticism for it's course in the1 hope that the results will justify the policy. I ASTHMA SUFFERER Write today.

GIPAL CHOROUS GIVES "MESSIAH"

Through the executive force of S. I?. Gorton and the co-operation "of musiclovers and public spirited citizens, the Municipal Choral society was organized last October. Lust night they made their initial appearance at Deluxe theatre, presenting Tor the fitt time in Hammond, Handel's great oratorio, "The Messiah." The chorus numbers about seventyfive and these are recruited from ail walks in life. That they brought to their task enthusiasm and earnestness of spirit, there was abundant evidence throughout the evening. Somo ten weeks nave been spent In preparing these difficult choruses and tremendous credit must be given to the patience and skill of Mr. Gorton in welding together the parts into a complete and artistic whole. He has given of his best in enthusiasm and painstaking effort and the result was highly gratifying. AVeli Known Soloists. Mr. Gorton further evidenced his good taste in the selection of soloists who gave immeasurable success to their credit in this great oratorio. Lucile Stevenson, soprano; FYedrickn. Garhart Downing, contralto; J,ohn I!. Miller, tenor: Gustav Holmquist, bass, each artist showed that poise and artisticy which comes only in expressed art. Miss Stevenson, though somewhat hampered by a cold, succeeded in infusing earnestness and fine quality in her solos particularly convincing washer reading of "I Know That My Redeemer I,iveth." Mrs. I'owning's voice is a rich,' vibrant contralto, heard in particular advantage in "He AVas Despised." which

AFTERNOON FROCK

FOR SPRING. WEAR A ffraceful frock made of pussy willow taffeta is one of the simplest dresses that has yet been seen among the spring fashions. The vest effect gives the bodice smart lines. Although its simplicity is extreme, the gown is natty and no doubt will be popular with the younger set. have some measure of post office accommodation in Hammond on New Years Iay a legal holiday, Postniaster John Rhode has decided to keep the general delivery and the stamp windows open until ten o'clock in he forenoon. ' The clerks and. mail carriers sacrificed their entire Christmas day to make their patrons happy with Christmas mail, and have worked hard all week with continued heavy mail and no reasonable person will expect them to give up another holiday. There will be no deliveries on Monday. New Years day. ADDS MILLER TIRE TO LINE Already representing some of the best known tire companies in the country, H. A. Thiel. proprietor of the Lake County Auto Supply store. 871, 2 South Ilohman street. Hammond, lias added the famous Miller tire to his line. He. also lias the exclusive agency 1 she invested with the hight spirit and the rigJU quality. Mr. Miller sang all of his solos excellently, adapting his voice to the various moods required. His technical skill was pronounced in the coloratura passage of "Every Valley." and the sombre color used in "Behold and See." most effective. Dramatic was his delivery of "Thou Shalt Dash Them." Mr. Holmquist combines with a fine virile voice, a splendid presence and an authority of delivery. Ho enters fully Into the spirit of what he sings and invests every phrase with inter est. The bass solos are among the most grateful in the entire work and it would be difficult to select any one of-them for special mention. The aud ience experienced great enthusiasm over his stirring delivery of "Why Do the Nations.' Mrs. W. H. Mikes'i at the piano furnished excelent accompaniments for the choruses and soloists with Miss Tina Mae Haines, who presided at the organ, playing the recitatives and sup porting the choruses. She also played in an artistic manner the charming in strumental excerpt "The Pastrol Symphony." Mr. Gorton held his forces well in h.ild throughout the entire work, and must again be congratulated for his ability in the organization and carrying out of an eminently successful premiere of this great oratorio. C. Ross Corbin, the president of this fine organization, has given liberally of his time and endeavor to make the socety a force in the community, and every lover of fine choral music should rally to his further support.

a word to aay in regard to this. Of course, in the first place, I realize that most ministers consider their business, minding every body elees' business, nevertheless, they are entirely out of their 'province when they mix up In civic affairs. In my judgment, things go along smoother when every one attends strictly to his own business. Pick up any Chicago paper on any day you wish and you will find an article on the Sunday Closing Campaign there. Every one tends to prove that the results are exactly oposite to those desirefl and intended. Human nature is the same the world over and the ministers fail to take this into consideration. If a man wants a drink, he will get It regardless of whether or not the salons are open. A law which cannot be enforced is worthless and any law which prevents a man from getting a dring or a smoke, when he wants it can never be enforced. You might close all the saloons, prohibit the manufacture of liquor and tobacco products, make smoking or drinking a hanging offense, and if a man tok it into his head that he wanted either a drink or a smoke he'd get It, one way or another. I ask any sane minded person what he, personally, would do under such circumstances. When the saloons are open a man will walk in, get his drink, and move on, but where he has to go to another town for it, or lay in a supply on Saturday, he Is going to get drunk every time and make it worth while. . If the ministers want our streets and jails fuil of drunks every Sunday, let thern cioae til' saivviiis . 1 ....... of Hammond have given very ' little trouble as compared to those in other cities. Wh"y not let well enough alone? If the people back of the reform movement are really sincere In their desire to clean up the city, let them begin at home. There are plenty of these reformers who make a great "how do you do" In public, snd that is as far as it'goes. Let them live clean lives and see that their children do. and vice will die a natural death. This j Is a method whih will prove a great deal more effectual than any amount of laws on the subject. And, again, when the churches are in need of assistance, let them shun the liquor interests "nstead of going there first to solicit contributions. Yours very truly, CHAS. H. MAYER, Hammond, Ind.
