WIND BLOWS OUT THE OAS And East Chic&go Man is Nearly Asphyxiated Thereby. Ianiel. Keshan, watchman at the piant of the Inland Steel Co., lies at St. Margaret's hospital in a very critical condition as. the result of being almost fatally asphyxiated by gas yesterday at his rooming house kept "by Mrs. Dora Jones, 3470 Michigan avenue,, Indiana Harbor. Uis roommate. Bob Davis, came home about nine o'clock yesterday morning and found the door locked. He called Mrs. Jones and they were unable to arouse the sleeper. They thought, however, that possibly he had been out the night before and that he would arise when ha had gotten sufficient sleep. At 4 o'clock, however. Hershan had not shown !iip and Jones then determined toVnter the room. The lock was finally turned, and upon opening the door the odor of escaping gas was apparent. Investigation shewed that the gas Jet was partially open. The window was raised, however, a couple of inches and this may yet be the means of saving the man's life. NOT ' BECAUSE I fear YOU WOULD be slighted if I failed to thank you, BUT BECAUSE I should SLIGHT MYSELF if I failed to THANK YOU, I take this method of showing my appreciation for your kind patronage during the year 1916, and I wish YOU a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

;izffaraaret Thompson, The PcTopn lias taken its place for all time beside the metropolitan speaking state as a sot tor of fashion. Whereas fosttimers formerly crowded theatres in larpe cities during the first week of their runs for hints on advance styles, they are now found attending the first run picture houses for moilcs dii jour. There is something infinitely more satisfactory in the screen as a medium. The influence which it exerts upon national wearing apparel is more uniform. One does not have to wait an entire season before seeing the models first hand when The play takes to the road; prints of the i4vntical film are shown almost simultaneously from one end of the country to the other from Kankakee to Keokuk, from Kokomo to Kalamazoo, and then some. Most of the large studios now maintain well-known modistes on their payrolls, so patrons may he assured that the gowns of their picture favorites are absolutely up to the minute, unless their roles call for dressing in another age. This is particularly true of the Triangle onranizatioif; and, by "way of demonstration, there are given herewith four late examples, all of tliem stars of the Triangle-Kay Bee-studios. A charming and chic street dress worn by Margaret Thompson in oue of her recent pictures is shown above at left. Of black brocaded velvet, the gown is designed along simple, straight lines, coat effect. r An elaborate sash Is fastened about the hips, from the ends of which dangle metal balls and knots of ermine. A Victorian ruff of ermine is worn about the neck of the gown, while Miss The unconscious man was st:U breathing but could not he aroused. The police report states that Dr. Robinson was called and gave the patknt treatment and then left him in the care of his roommate Jons. About nine o'clock. i:r. Tergarden called the station and said the patient was in very had shape and that he was having' him taken to St. Margaret's hospital. Mr. Hershan is about sixty years old and the most plausible explanation is that he went to bed with the g'as turned low and that wind coming in at the open window blew out the fiame and left. the. gas to escape into the room.

The leading social function of New Years Day in llammona will be the open house and cotillion given at the Hammond Country Club on Monday.

1 CORPS MAKES A RECORD

PHILADELPHI, PA., Dec. 30. History was written for the aviation corps of the United States army today when a flotilla of aeroplanes piloted by army aviators flew from Hempstead, Long: Island, to the League navy yard, a distance of 115 miles. Privates Salnon and Coyle, who left Hempstead with twelve other aviators shortly before 10 o'clock, were the first to reach here. They landed at 11:32. They were numb from the cold. Almost before they were lifted from their aeroplanes T. C. Millman landed close along side. Five others came swoopinj? down at intervals of about four minutes. Salmon's time for the flight was one hour and thirty-seven minutes. By fastest train the distance requires two hours. Twelve machines started from Hempstead, hut two were compelled to turn back after traveling as far as Xew Tork. Lieutenant Howling again took the air at Hempstead and was expected to reach here within an hour. The flight is the greatest from a military standpoint ever attempted in the United States. It is expected to prove or disprove the value of hundreds of appliances which have been invented for use on aeroplanes. A HIT JUST THE SAME How strongly a certain feature of a business house may impress itself on a community was nicely illustrated yesterday at the big- pre-inventory sale of the E. C. Minas company department store is a test ad. No where in a page advertisement appearing in Tub Times cm Thursday was the name of the house. The page teemed with attractive bargains in almost every section of the big store. And yesterday the store teemed with bargain hunters. The secret of the whole advertisement was the impression that the store has made on the buying public with the "Dividend Stamp Day" advertisements. When the company on Thursday advertised at the top of the pags "4 Dividend Stamp Day 4" the name of the store was not necessary to the buying public. The bargain sale further demonstrates the fact that the buying public has faith in the big store's anBLANKET HORSE WHILE STANDINGTIIK TIMES t an received the following: from the county humane kocir t j i WAHMXfi TO TEAM OWXEBS AXU DRIVERS: Iteginnlog Jan. 1, 117, blanket your horse while Ktandlng.

The - officers elected are: President Charles Randall. Vice president John Ribicki. Secretary-treasurer , and business agent Tom Harle. Trustee Jacob Detzner. The outgoing officers were able to show a splendid record for poace and prosperity, and the organization looks forward to another good year. AT THE GEM The audience who has -followed the rat and spider trail and capture of Marion by Allen Craven will cordially approve of this fiftht and its outcome. The latter is one of the big surprises of a surprising- photoplay feature, a climax so unexpected, and. finally, so satisfactory that to hint at Its character would be unfair to the thrilled spectators who are going to sit up with a jump when the most startling denouement of the season is flashed on the screen at the Gem theater tomorrow. HEBREWS DISCUSS THE GARY PLAN CINCINNATI. O.. Dec. 30. How to give Jewish children in Ohio a religious education without having the Bible taught In the public schools was one of the problems puzzling rabbis atttending the Jewish religious association jof Ohio in convention here. To establish Jewish schools, it was pointed out, would cost too much money. Rabbi Louis Wolsey of Cleveland, advocating the Gary, Ind., plan which places the burden of religious teaching on parents, said that 2,500 out of 9,000 Jewish children in Cleveland and 2.000 out of 5,200 in Cincinnati public schools, received no religious training. WILL MEET TUESDAY (Special to Tub Times.) CROWN POINT. IND., Dec. 30. The county commissioners will not meet Monday. January 1, on account of the holiday, and that thy will take up applications for liquor licenses on Tuesday, January 2, 1917, at 1 p. m. U.S. STEEL SOLD A YEAR AHEAD The full productive capacity of United States Steel Is now reported. In well-informed quarters to have been practically contracted for during the entire period of 1917. Only a slight addition to the present total of orders will be required ot make it necessary for the big corporation to decline new business, according to these advices. Directors of the United States Steel, it is expected, will increase the extra disbursement on common stock at the January meeting. In recent quarters 1 per cent has been paid. In addition to the regularly per centEarnings are estimated from $100,000,000 to $110,OOQ,000 for the quarter. While these estimates may be affected by coal 'an-1 car shortage, they are likely to establish new high records. Under the circumstances it is felt that an extra payment of 2 or 3 per cent would be fully justified. NEARLY SUNK BY SUBMARINE NEW TORK, Dec. 30. A narrow escape from benig sunk by a submarine was related today by officers of the British steamship, Chicago City which arrived here from Bristol. They said they were fired on at abeut a hundred and twenty miles off Pastnet. One shot went across the vessel and everything was put in readiness to leave the ship. Then the submarine commander changed his mind, submerging. The reason was a British destroyer coming towards the sub. The Chicago City put on full speed and made its escape.
