Hammond. was present and extended an invitation to the Al Hbsson grotto to participate in their picnic, which will take plci Saturday, August IS, at Tremont. Ind. Special cars will leave over the South Shore Lines from East Chicago at 10:14 a. m, arriving at Tremont at 11:11. T"o invitation was accepted with pleasure by the Grotto members to participate with the'Nob'.o'i to cross thi hot sand.- of the desert t Tremont). At the s'nine lime the Prophets of the Grotto extended an invitation to the NohleK t" participate with :,em in crossing the river Styix (Lake Michigan) in a boat tide on Monday, August 27. to Michigan City. It xoks as if the Prophets, Nobles. Masons and their families will have a good time aot both pirntcs. Dr. Jacob Goldman, chairman of the Grotto picnic, and Prophet Evans were svvr to Michigan City to make all arrangements. There will be bathing, races, bowling, tug-of-war between the Prophets and Nobles. A great rt-al of attention will he given to the children of the Mason lannlies. Arrangcrm nts were made with j. nicrry-go-round and Ferris wheel company to ho tbore on that date. The Al Hasson Grotto band of twenty-five pieces, under the leadership of the able leader. George Hay of Whiting, will have charge of the music. There will also be several other piofeisional entertainers. The boat will leave at Forsyth avenua canal. East Ch'eago, tn Monday, August 27, at 8:30 a. m. The toll of another life was taken by the waters of the deep water canal at East Chicago yesterday. Walter Plugoss. who lived wiith his brother-in-law at 502 Chicago avenue, over the Pinscak saloon, was in bathing just west of White Oak avenue. Two men and two boys were there at th time but were not able to render him any assistance. Word was brought to the rclice station by one of the boys, Stanley Becka. 10 years old, and ex-ery effort was mnow to get quickly to the scene of the accidein. The police department, however, is not equipped with any facilities for handling exeditiously an accident of this kind and It was probably an hour before a boat could be secured and any search could be mads. James O'Donnel. however, again came forward with his motor boat and the waters were dragged for the body. About 6:30 the body was recovered and taken to Fife's morgue. Dlugosz was 21 years old and an Austrian by birth. -He had joined Company L under Captain Twyman. but never showed up for physical examination. He was registered from the second precinct, card No. 244. serial No. 278. This Is the fourth time that Mr. O'Donnell has responded to the call for help in esses of this kind. No matter in what he may bo engaged or what inconvenience it may impose upon him. he drops e verything nnd rushes to the rescue. This Is all the more commendable vhf-ii it is known that there i-s no provision mide for any recompense for this sort of work . Now that the chief of police is to hae a runabout, thi.i should be supplemented with a trailer that is equipped with a boat and all facilities for rendering assistance in cases' of drowning. This couid be done without much expense snd is a necessar adjunct to the protection and preservation of life in the city. The three and a half miles of canal within- :ht city and the lake front bathing beich are attraction that are sure each pcson to develop a need for quick action in rescuing persons from drowning. U.
