WHEN WILL THAT BE? The United States 'Steel corporation, which owns Gary body and eoul, has a "Verboten" sign on the Lake Michigan beach- You may not. bathe there, you may not swim. This has been true ever since Gary wu foundedFor ten years the summers have seen the Gary toilers gasp and swelter while they have at their feet the finest beach in the -world. They are unable to use it, because some mill worker might swim out and seize one of the U. S- S. fleet's giant boats and flop it over. Seriously, it is a sin and a shame that the city of Gary, the wonder of the state, yes of a nation, should be deprived of a lake playground these fearful days. The U. S. Steel corporation could relent and give the city a lake front park and never miss it. Will it? Never- Not until some young David arises - to tackle the Goliath. .

SLACKERS IX ENGLAND. Whether there will be any malingering in the U. S. draft examinations is a matter to be seen. It is done in England, and fresh from London comes a story that will be of great interest to the exemption and appellate boards of this state. Some of the slacker Englishmen have gone to shameful and marvelous lengthsSimulated, or even artificially induced, symptoms of tuberculosis, synovitis and debility are still met with. . The introduction of tubercle bacilli" into sputum submitted for analysis has been heard of; the allegation of synovitis induced by an injection has been publicly reported. Men, it is believed, on the advice of the doctors, have starved themselves and gone without sleep for days before going before the .doctors- There are records of one young man who starved himself for five days, who had practically no sleep for the same period, and then, the night before the medical examination, rubbed shampoo powder into his eyes and drank himself into intoxication- He would have been rejected as "unfit" but for a discovery that need not be related, and he is now in the army, a category "A" man- It is. known that men have deliberately contracted a loathsome disease to avoid military service. Drugs are constantly employed so constantly and cleverly that there must be expert advice in the background. At one London recruiting station a young man arrived in answer to a call-up notice in a state of collapse. His face waa a greeni&h-grey, and he was apparently in pain. An experienced officer had him placed in a private room and kept under observation. Five times during the morning the man vomited. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon he was well, and by 3 o'clock, after an exceptionally thorough examination by all the members of the medical board, he was passed class "A." Doping takes many forms. In one place there was apparently an epidemic of "disease of the middle ear," marked by discharges of apparently purulent matter. -The analyst was called in. and the matter turned out to be tobacco juice or condensed milk, or a mixture of both- Pills that depress or hasten the heart's action and drugs that debiliate are often suspected, but it is. difficult to prove their useMalignering, too, has been proved- The "deaf" man who withstood every est. and even received a rejection card, only to succumb when an astute clerk whispered, "You have forgotten your two-and-nine-pence"; the man with the "palsied" arm, who owned up when the doctors spoke about an electric battery'; the man who Btayed in bed "paralyzed," while his tearful wife went to the recruiting office to explain that he could not answer tthe call-up, but forgot himself the next day, and was seen walking in the street these are minor cases of attempted fraud easily discovered. Much more serious are strange stories of drugging and innoculation, which are difficult, to proveMaster minds have been, and are, at work. Every degree of rascality has been suspected and proved. Even today every kind of chicanery is resorted to by the coward. The fight against crime goes on unceasingly, and day by day new and strange records are added to the dossier. Many criminals-have been laid by the heeus and more will have their turn, but the task requires every legal device that can be employed, and all the assistance that the public can render. That side of the recruiting problem the public should know, says the London Times- " J

Yes, let the dangerous work go on; it worked in the south during the reconstruction periodBut God help the Post and the political leaders who are said to be back, of it if race warriots break out in Gary. It will not be Mayor Johnson and his government who will be held up in disrepute before the country.

SOFT SOAPIXG THE PEOPLE. The Gary Tribune tries to explain that there is no way to et a lake front park until the voters of the municipalities in' the joint park district te upon it and the Supreme court decides the legality of the questionBut the Gary Tribune refers to a park elsewhere than in Gary. Although Gary has seven miles of lake front, which its people can neither tee nor use, some very astute gentlemen are trying to point out that Gary should get a park several miles away, at Miller. Of course, every one knows how the system of trust landlordism that monopolizes the lake front at Gary works and how editors, who profit by deals in its land sales, may work against the interests of their own city. What the people of Gary want is a lake front park and they want one of at least 100 acres in their own. city, not one miles away Inaccessible to the average workman and his family. Now it is well to be fair and considerate of big industries, but when the directors of a big industry show such a Prussian disregard of the rights of a community of 60,000 people that is fast growing to be one of 100,000, it is time to call a halt and ask whether Gary is still In the United States. No city that is exploited for its dividends is enjoying the rights of American freedom. The people of ?ary, deprived of their lake front, deserve the sympathy of all Indiana for the affliction that the selfishness of a group of men sitting around a directors' table in New York has imposed upon them. But it is not too late for them to recover their birthright.

HOUSEWIVES who have war gardens should be compelled to have markers showing the kind of vegetables growing so that when a man is sent to bring in some parsley for the Sunday dinner he won't get balled out for bringing in carrot tops.

IT has become so that one must feel disloyal to be seen with a German newspaper in his hands. This is because -not afl, but because the bulk of the German newspapers in this country are pro-Berlin.

AS Mr. Roger Babson, the eminent Boston statistician says in the Chicago Herald, war wounds are now either slight or fatal. That is, there are only two alternatives. Either you do or you don't.

As the material ia the principal attraction, the skirts are shown in the simplest possible styles. The oue shown in .o. S.38S la a splendid ex"ampie of the most popular sand. It has two gore and i gathered all around the slightly raised waistline. The roomy pockets extend up to and orer the belt in front. They are net the usual flat style, for they show the new barrel effect in the way that they stand out from the figure. A b"lt and sash ends of the material will add much to the 6tyle of the skirt, though it is possible to ouiit them. The skirt pattern. No. 8.36S, is cut in sizes 24 to 32 inches waist measure. Width at lower edge is 2 yards" The 24 inch size requires as on the figrure 8 yards 36 inch material. To obtain this pattern sead ten cent to the office of this publication. S. J J
