BUY YOUR AUTO NOW.
If you are going to buy an automobile you should do it now. This is not
intended as an advertisement for the automobile Industry, but rather as
helDful hint to those who look to this department for advice. According to
a local dealer there promises to be a shortage of automobiles next year. No
such information has emanated from the factories, but the dealer in question
has been mixing the dope according to his views of the situation and has arrired at the conclusion that pleasure cars are going to be a scarce article
until the war is ended.
He says many makes of machines have already advanced materially in price and there is every prospect that manufacturers will be unable to secure material with which to continue the present vast output. Metal of all kinds that enters into automobile manufacture will be needed by the government for guns, shells, ships, aeroplanes and the innumerable things that must be
provided to maintain the United States troops overseas.
Vast numbers of trucks will be needed for transport and ambulance purposes and the government must be served first. Labor shortage will have
its effect and utilitarian needs will he given precedence over pleasure's
desires.
These are a few of the reasons he cites why it' Is possible that those who
wait until next year to buy may be compelled to use the old car or go afoot says the Lafayette Journal.
Were it not for the war it is probable the output of automobiles would have exceeded all previous records next year as the prospects for a bountiful
crop were never better and prices are certain to rang very high.
STRANGE CENSUS EIGURES. As we said the other day, the War Department's estimate of Gary"s and East Chicago's population for draft purposes is 10,0 per cent too much, Gary being credited with 110,000 when 55.000 is the real figure. But other communities have their troubles- For enlightenment turn to the New York World: The exaggeration in regard to Chicago is still greater- Its population is put at 3,639.957, an increase of 1,45,000 in seven years, when the growth of Chicago in the decade 1900-1910 was only 435,000. The Mayor of Chicago estimates the present population of that city for The World Almanac at 2,561,000. Detroit, however, is the wonder. The Census Bureau boldly gives it 1,521,943, although it had but 466,000 at the census of 1910 and its mayor's present estimate for The World Almanac is 825,000. "Cleveland is raised to 1.125,400, or twice as any as it had seven years, ago, its mayor's estimate being 750,000. Akron, O., which had 69,000 inhabitants in 1910, is now credited with 135,000, and no mayor underestimates the size of his town. These are perhaps the extreme examples, but on the other hand a loes of population is assigned to some flourishing cities, and states are treated likewise. Kentucky loses nearly 3OO.C0O people in seven years and Tennessee over 200,000.
NO. WONDER!

The Garv Tribune insists -Mayor Johnson will he a candidate for
election and makes a slurring reference to his candidacy for the nomination for governor. Of course the mayor's race for governor fell down- Considering the campaign managers Mr. Johnson had then and the fact that the Gary Tribune was supporting his candidacy, he did the best he could with a bunch cf dead ones hanging round his neck and giving him the grand double cross-
GARY POLICE EFFICIENCY. This newspaper has devoted space to the wonderful efficiency at Gary and will continue to do so, but it will now lend a little time to inefficiency. For' several days the Gary Post and Tribune have been editorializing bocaose they claim the Gary police force is not efficient- In support they quote the grand jury's report. We agree with the Post and Tribune. The Gary police force is horribly inefficient according to Post-Trib specifications. In Gary efficiency has been developed to tho "nth" power, and the police department i3 in the outer darkness as far as efficiency is concerned. Even this newspaper, if gauged by P.-T. standards, is not efficient at all. But the Gary Post and Tribune are excellent examples of efficiency. Anything or anybody that becomes subordinate to the Gary machine for the production of fabulous dividends and the extension and perpetuation of the political and contract-grabbing power of some of the chief dividenders i rated as efficient by the Post and Tribune. Yet there are still some men

and some institutions in Gary that lack woefully in efficiency. But this world can t be all efficiency. If the police force should become controlled by the efficient political machine of the efficient dividend producers there's no doubt at all that it would at once become efficient. But perhaps for. the preservation of what little civic freedom there's left, in Gary It may be just as well that the police force isn't efficient as some would like to have it.

THE DEMAND FOR REPRISALS. When one reads items like the subjoined, taken from the London Times of June 19. it is not surprising that the English people are demanding reprisals for Zeppelin raids. Inquests were held in a North-East district of London on eight victims of the raid. The deputy coroner for. the district said the most tragic evidence was that relating to the death of four children, all of one family, and of ages ranging from 14 years to 18 months. The father, a munition worker, said he did not know of the occur- . rence until late in the afternoon, as he was told in the district where he worked that all. was clear, but when he arrived home he found that his four children had been killed. The grandmother of the children related how at the time of the raid shS was upstairs with the baby, when his mother called up, "Bring the baby down here. They are dropping bombs." Almost at once there was a terrible bang, and the witness saw nothing more until someone pullad her out of the wreck
age wmcn naa raiien on her. The children had been crushed tricks and mortar. All the children had wounds from bombs.
Death by Injuries caused by a bomb from hostile aircraft,"
me veraict in tnese cases. On the) whole, the attitude as shown by letters in the London newspapers Is against reprisals, not so much because of any minor military advantage that would be gained, but because the English do not feel that they have lowered themselves to the status of the Huns. One notable writer points out how the English aircraft can be used at the front better than in work of reprisals. He suggests that if English soldier
adopt the tactics of the. Germans they, too. would become brutal. W. Bram-
well Booth, head of the Salvation Army, calls that the English be .firm to the doctrines of Jesus Christ and not be given to the backsliding of reprisals. He says that barbarism will never subdue barbarism, that courage is needed, and that truth will prevail in the long run. Some, distracted, by the loss of
dear ones, are no longer patient, and even the president of the Metropolitan Free Church Federation insists that if the killing of 120 little children does not arouse the German people to a sense of pity perhaps it is a misuse of the
Lord's teaching to turn the other cheek.
Yet the whole tenor" of the letters shows how nobly the English are
bearing the savagery of the Hun; without taking revenge by slaying innocent
women ana cnuaren as compensation.

GOING AWAY FROM HERE. The act of going away, in the case of a whole family making an annual
migration, is a very important part of a holiday. In the case of Bim
persons who have neither great establishments nor large means it u
thing fraught with a certain amount of careful apprehension.
To the elders it is a serious matter, complicated bv questions of nark.
ing, of dealing with servants, of arrangements for shutting up or carefully maintaining th house during their absence; but for children it Is quite another thing-
It is the most exciting part of the holiday, in which the jovs of travel
and adventure are combined in a highly concentrated form. It is surrounded
by rites and ceremonies, and crowned with the knowledge that beyond it lie the delights of the holiday itself. -
