VA prophet 'lio hn" honor in his own country, nnm'y, William Wirt of Gary, Ind. Mr Wirt, superintendent of the Gary schools, was heard in Mrs. Cyrus McCormi'-k's ballroom Tuesday afternoon on the (.nry school system, illustrated by moving pictures. Well, really, while looking tit these wonderful pictures, where hundreds of Children were busily doing what they should do and all was ordr an". ne tivity and beauty, it was like loo,-in;t on the millennium. Contemplate the sandy strctehe.! o' Gary, the snorting thunderous ctce' mills, the unimaginative streoti of "h fiat little town, and then lo,k fit hse splendid children, well dressed, g.oc1 looking, intelligent, graceful, .ea-ning everything they should learn, happy, and well fed. William Wirt's school system costs no more than the old system. I '-ip-plying mathematics to the old routine where 3.000 children attend one school. Instead of lining classrooms for a'l at once and auditorium and playgf-und for 3,000 children, he has them ,wrl; and play in shifts. No schoolroom is ever idle. The playground is never empty, the gymnasium is always in use, also the library and the speclnl courses, the nature study class, the biology, the bootmaking. the plumbing, the sceintiflc course in chemistry, th sewing class, the drawing and designing. One "movie" showed a young boy mending a pipe joint, according to Mr. Wirt, an advanced test for graduating plumbers. Another was shown shoeing fine horse, a third delivering a lecture on art to a room full of children. The playgrounds were shown full of skating and coasting children in winter, and of ter.nis and ball playing youth in summer, while on one eide were the cages for special pets. The Gary school children have pet raccoons, foxes, rabbits, mice. cuts, dogs, hens, ducks, etc., and also delightful litle gardens, which they cultivate themselvc-. They learn to folk dnnee as well, and the girls' cooking clas.s is now turnod into a domestic science lunchroom, where everything that is cooked is eaten and the little girls handle a monthly budget of $500. The swimming pools of the Gary schools are filled summer and winter, and the movie showed the children splashing round as gayly as fish, also their parents on occasion. People come from all over the world to inspect Mr. Wirt's school system, although being ery modest, he did not say so. Latterly Mr. Wirt has been asked to reorganize six Bronx schools in Greater New York. Formerly 3H.O0O children attended them on half time. Now 41,000 children go in on full time, with an additional hour off the streets. Keeping the children off the streets and happily employed in the school. H EALTHOGR AMS rtv tt? fu.w nwi?

If your feet look like the second pair you should poise on your toes from twenty to forty times each day, rise to the position in he photograph. That exercise will strengthen the leg muscles which hold the arches up, and these muscles must e strong If they are to do their duty. either working or playing, is Mr. Wirt's basic idea. In the beautiful tapestried ballroom Mr. Wirt's audience was intensely interested. Cyrus McCormick came home early to keep the speaker in countenance, for it was a ladies' gathering. I Everybody was profoundly impressed. and Mrs. William Conger asked the speaker the intelligent question how this system might best be applied to the Chicago schools. Mr. Wirt's answer was that "It could be best tried out with one school as a model." Talk about German efficiency when we have it right over here in Gary, Ind. ! SLEUTHS BACK WITH Chief Bwen and Captain Strus. of the East Chicago polite department, returned from Ohio at 12 o'clock last night, bringing with them two men who were wanted in this city for robbing the jewelry store of S. Berkovicz, Michigan avenue. The men have confessed -to the robbery. Their names are g'iven as Wright" Montgcftnery. 19 years of age, Muskogee. Okla.. and John W. Brown, age 33. Galveston, Tex. Detective Mark M. Price, a Cleveland sleuth, detected the young man. Montgomery, in attempting to pawn a number of watches. He was arrested as a PU.p!cious character and under the, grilling received by the Cleveland officer. Montgomery finally broke down Rnd confessed that he had robbed a store In Indiana Harbor. He told the whole story and implicated Brown, who was then In Toledo attempting to get rid of more of the loot. Through the aid of the Toledo police Brown was also arrested. All of the watches and jewelry were recovered except four valuable watches which were pawned In Chicago. It is expected that these watches will be recovered today. Berkovicz claims that his loss was about $1,000. Young Montgomery in his confession said that they had come to the Harbor for work and were walking past the store Sunday night In the snow storm and saw how easy it would b t'" break the glass door and secure valuable booty. They picked up a piece of cement and hurled It through the. window then dodged under cover. No one investigated the noise and later the smaller of the two men crawled through the opening and hastily assembled a bag of valuables. It was their haste and fear of being detected that prevented their taking more property, inasmuch as there were several thousand dollars worth of jewelry that was within easy reach. The men will be bound over to the superior cou rt. E. ft HOLIES GETS S25 FOR GARY LAND K. W. Holmes, a pioneer business man of Gary, has sold pert of his steel city holdings to Carl Loik of St. Louis for $25,000. The. property consists of three lots and three buildings at the southwest corner of 25th avenue and Adams street. On the corner is a twostory business building, the second building is a two-story fiat building, while the third is a residence. Mr. Holmes has other large interests in Gary. He has been one of the Lincoln Park district boosters and is rated as the wealthiest man in the district. Attorney "M. Manlove attended to the legal details of the deal.

When Mr. Coombs left Hammond last spring for the west he went into a new line of work that of farming and his friends will be giad to hear that he is making fcood on a big scale.

"I am farming 250 acres of irrigated land which I have leased for three years. I am well pleased with the conditions of this country, also with the results of my farming. "Alfafa being the principal product, yields two crops, and is now valued at J12.00 per ton. "'Wheat yields from 20 to CO bushels per acre, and is no wworth $1.55 peri bushel. Oats from 30 to 40 bushels' pier acre, and is now worth $1.55 per bushel here. Sugar beets average 10 ton per acre, valued at J6.50 per ton. "This winter I have contracted to feed and care for 1,600 head of sheep. 100 head of cattle and 4 head of horses.
