U.S. SOCIETY GIRL IN CIIARGE OF UNIT OF ARMY OF MERCY

Says It Won! be Expense To State Only to Lake County Taxpayers That's Ail,

(BULLETIN.) (By United Press.) INDIANAPOLIS, INK., Jan. 17. The house committee on courts reported favorably on tne Davis tUl to establish a criminal court at Crown Point.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Jan. 17. The senate put across the Gary : r.ourt bill, yesterday afternoon, by

a vntp of 47 to 0. Senator Nejdl!

spoke against the bill and sought

to prevent its passage, oui ne .ied, and on the roll call he voted for it. Rpnrpspntative E. C. Davis of

Point, not satisfied with!

Lake county's six courts, now proposes to saddle a criminal court on the taxpayers of Lake county. This court is to be located at Crown Point. TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. The balance of Indiana thinks that Lake county has gone court-crazy. Senator Kinder made a speech in favor of the Gary bill, which he introduced. He told the senate that Gary paid one-third of the taxes in Lake county, and that this was one reason why it Bhould have a court. He said the highest court at Gary was a city court, while Hammond had " three superior courts and Crown Point had one circuit and one superior court. He .said that the- legal business at Gary was so larpe that it required a court there to care for it. Kinder told of the wonderful growth and development of Gary. Senator TCedjl tried to have the question referred to a vote of the people of Lake county. He said that a question as important as the removal of a court from Hammond and Crown Toint to Gary, w here it would be premanently located should be determined by the people of the county themselves. Xodjl moved to recount the bill its author with instructions to amend it by insertins & provision that the whole matter should be left to a vote of the people for them to say whether the court should be moved. The senate took a recess of ten minutes to allow Nejdl to prepare bis motion, but when the motion was offered. Kinder moved to lay the motion

on the table, and this. motion was car-j ried. That ended all hope that Xedjl may have had of being able to beat the bill in the senate. I The bill now goes to the House, where ! representative Kdwin C. Davis, of j Crown Point, say it will be passed. He t

Fays there s no question anout wnai the House will do with the bill. Davis says that as soon s the Gary bill is out of the way he w ill press for passage his bill to create a criminal court in Lake county and locate it in the court room at Crown Point that is now occupied by Superior court room 3. Davis says the House will pass the criminal court bill because it will be no expense to the state. All of the expense of the court will be borne by the taxpayers of Lake county.

The nightcap is an oia-fash-ioned afiair, either crochctted or bottled. Some men wear them on their heivls, others on their stomachs. You tell one by its tassel and the other by its kick. The crochetted nightcap isn't so bad. It's just a crochetted nightcap. But the bottled nightcap is a treacherous and movable feast. A nightcap at night, it becomes an eyeopener in the morning; an appetizer at noon and cocktail at dinner. The Jekyll and Hyde of nightcaps, as it were. The man who sleeps with one nightcap on his head and another on his turnmie usually takes them both off in the morning .and puts on a grouch. And he who wears a nightcap on his head may wear a flower on his coat, but he who wears a nightcap on his stomach wears a bossom on his nose. Nightcaps ought to be abolished. All of them. About the only thing they ever accomplish anyhow is baldness of the pate or cirrhosis of the liver.

mid E.-.ke jjoimty through its council and its leading citizens, notably the farmers will have to take sides. To get the perspective, it should be explained that Purdue is a slate institution supported by the tav payers 0( the state; that the management of that institution has in hand a well known and powerful political influence, which it wields to strengthen Purdue University; as a state institution it is supposed to foster agricultural education in the state. Lake county pays to the state $8, 0l'0 in taxes for a state fund for vocational training. Part of this fund is turned over to Purdue which it in turn pays back directly $1,000 to Lake county in the way of the county agent's salary. Purdue or that part of it devoted to agricultural education extension. expects th ecounty agent to cooperate with it in every way and to consult with its department head on all policies to be carried out On the oter hand is Mr. Craig, recognized in Lake county and elsewhere for his progress v-ness. intelligence, ability, hard work. .uid independence of thought
