The pro-i;-at: v- as in two parts and tho llrst part v a hivrii entirely by tho children of i he C'T.'rai school and show ed clearly tip? wonderful mental training and concentration of thought of the pupils of trio grades, not only m oicc culture but Jh the training of the memory, as the rendering of the difficult orations provd. This program began by all singing ' Arm rioa." with Miss Margaret Eder I-adtng and Miss lay playing the act otnpaniment. Tho) pupils of Miss Break's room, fi-B grade Rave, "My Native Land" by Edvanl Everet Hale. The pupils of Miss TUernian's room, 7B grade, (cave the Preamble to The I"eclaration of Independence. The pupils of Mrs. Grissinger's room. 7-A grade, gave Lincoln's Gettysburg address. All of the grades then joined in the singing of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," Miss Kder leading and Miss Day at the piano. This was followed by the pupils of Miss Day's room. 6-A grade, giving "The American Flag" by Joseph Rodmon Prake. The children then sang the two first stanzas "The Star Spangled Banner" and oil prestnt Joined in singing the last stanza. This concluded the children's part in the program. Miss Adkins had placed on exhibit a most meritorious . display of work done by the Junior Red Cross members in th? city schools. It included samples of the work from all the schools from the kindergarten departments to the high school, and included afghans, shawls, ho'i". sweaters, wristlets, socks In tne knitted wear, and samples of fiftytowels, twenty-four chemise for women fijvl girls, twenty-four women's skirts, women's house dresses, and children's dresses of many sizes, boys' waists, twelve corduroy trousers, and have been asked to make twenty-four more, tvlr bir-.ek sateen pinafores, chil-t-n's hooded capes. loom woven rugs 1 other articles. The boys of the pra Ce .-, . s are not only knitting but make lifi-lifs for their work. The rugs oYn from scraps left from the are re ; made, are sold and the money into the Red Cross. Purely the rbiWrrn of Hammond are doing, their bit in every way. Miss Adkins also brought before the club women the plea of the teachers for a living pay, that the average of $70 per month and thre months in the year the ter ch--rs idle, was entirely inadequate foe the living expenses of these times. Fh " nskd the cooperation of the club women in support of the plea. The clrb members heartily endorsed the plea as presen.-od by Miss Adkins. Then came tlv; second part of the prgrom and .Miss Ad'. ins introduced Dr. Peltra, w ho has been chosen to investiga'e the social conditions of the faltim( t district, and his letturc on these cot .d'"'ons ws n rev-iation to hip hearers. The .speak- r said the conditions in f oc.i I and nnssi. n wu-k :'n this district has undergone some wonderful changes nec-'ssrated by the err eat influx of foreign born people. But the speaker believed in the old law that for every social condition th.-ro. is apt to be directly or Indirectly some economic condition to raus" It, and that this great tide or social and economic, problems have been (tatbor'ng for the past twenty years That at litis time it. is said that five thotinnd people are on their way to this city if housing lacilities can be arranged. Then eanie the question would this rnu;-'hrnorri growth of today continue, or feibside in a f-w years? By delving into statistics and with his colored mapn the speaker proved the growth is a permanent one. The proof being that in this nor' hern circle of a radius of five hundred miles SJ per cent of the Iron ore is prodm c-1, and that two-thirds of the bituminous coal is mined. That the ore f,els were formerly in the eastern

DELUXE TODAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ' One of the notions that David W. Griffith, creator of the crent spectacle "The Birth of c. Nation." now playing a lii iite-1 farewell engagement at the pel.uxe, has strenuously opposed, Is that motion picture plays If not comedies, nyust necessarily be melodramas. Most "f his creations have been inspired b. the work of the great writers of literature. "In Them." said Mr. Griffith recently, "tme art finds its revelation in the thought and In the action that follows. That Is exactly what the motion picture does.

Where each town has its Maine restaurant. Four Homers and Orpheum theatre the drama has ceased to thrive except in the cinema and not the only form of entertainment that calls for reviewing is tho kind dubbed vaudeville and presented at popular prices. Wit so little to do the highest standard of accuracy should be maintained. Yet it often happens that a marksman trained at 200 yards will miss at a fourth that distance. Manager James M ichelstettter of the Hammond Orpheum theatre has made a comparison which is indeed odius. It appears that a hill appeared at his theatre last week which proceeded intact to the house of that name at Gary. After studying the Hammond reviewer's printed remarks carefully Mr. MIchelstetter came to the conclu sion that aspiration was cast upon tne show. Doubtless the manager's decision was "very good" Rnd the writer had dipped his pen in vitrol. Jim's judgment is generally beyond question. For instance, he is wise enough not to bet J5 on a pair of queens and in buying neckwear he exercises the greatest of individuality. Two days later in the Gary news of The Times appeared another comment on the same show, by the Gary reporter, in which tho latter praised the performance to the utmost, pointing aut the sterling dualities of each act his ally in Hammond had demurred at. T'pon reading the second critique Manager MIchelstetter became obdurate. Surely, consistentency could be expected at least. The Gary reporter will come along later with his alibi and no doubt it will be a good one, although the Hammond writer suspects that the former never saw the show and wrote the ac-

count from tho advertisements. It i, however, not lmptyisible that the Oary Journaliet did attend the show, having had a good dinner, a pleasant amoko, a ntroll in the April evening', a ralso In pay and a letter statins that his rnother-tn-law had decided not to pay her daughtor a visit this summer. Under eucii circumstances a person would be lenient. The lumpy legged acrobats, tho nut comedian the tawdy aoubrette, and all that la of, by and within vaudeville ml.iht dance before hla eyes In kalelduseop! - splendor under each mitigating circumstances. That is the only explanation that occurs. The answer of the tia-y man Is awalred with interest. Heretofore he sgroed excellently with his Hammond friend, even to a preference for straight drinks instead of mixed.
