By KOSCOS 3E. WOODS. Another blow has been struck Hammond's building program for the year 191S as a result of a movement started in the member's council of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce last Thursday to eammandeer for renting purposes all houses in Hammond that have been built for sale. The movement, of course, is bound to fall for the reason that it would defeat the very purpose of the government to add to the housing facilities of the city and would immeditaely stop all private building enterprise. In fact so much has been done to discourage home building in Hammond that only a few brave men have been willing to take the chances of financial disaster that is involved in a large building enterprise. The following are some of the monkey wrenches that have been thrown in Hammond's building program this year. 1.

teriais and labor. 2. Failure of first plans of Chamber of Commerce to induce voluntary builillnr of homes by business ni n of city. 3., Lmharso oti building materials which lias created such a feeling of uncertainty as to discourage individual building proj'.'cis. 4. Agitation to compel the renting of houses that have been built for sale. Those who have no knowledge 0 local building conditions io not realize that it is not only impracticable but practically impossible to build houses for rent. Hie reasons are as follows; Take a $4, ('00 house for example. It is possible to secure a $2,400 loan on such a property. It is also possible to secure a second mortgage of $S0O on such a property to cover the cost of the lot. This makes a total of $3.20o which may be borrowed on the property. The balance, or $o"0 must be raised by the builder. To build twenty such houses would tie up a minimum of $18,000. This would positively end the building operations of the. average Hammond home builder, if he had to wait to get that money back In rent at $40 a month per house. In fact it would be two years before the builder of the first batch of houses could get money enough together to start the second batch of twenty. And interst and taxes would eat him up in the meantime. But the builder's practice is as follows; He sells this $4,000 house for $S0O to $1,000 cash. This releases his ccpital for new builJing enterprises. AVhen the Chamber of Commerce housing committee went out after government help to secure the $,"00,000 appropriation for new houses in Hammond, the first question that was asked was. "How much building will you do by private initiative." The committee then had to prepare a A TONIC AND HEALTH BUILDER Take CALCERKS to rid yourself of thit weakening, persistent crush, which is thrwriii'g you wi'h throat or lung troubles. Even in acute cses affecting throat and limes. CALCERBS have given much relief in many cases helping to restore health. They give strength to combat illness.

v-v list of contractors and private individuals who promised to aid in the building of homes in Hamraoni This shows how much importance the government placed in what would be done by private initiative. And yet the government has been responsible for two moves that have done more 10 discourage private initiative in building than any thing else that could have been done. One thing was Us failure; to discriminate in favor of munition centers in its building material embargo; the other was its threat to take the product of the local builder's enterprise out of his hands and ignoring the financial obligations that he entailed in building houses, compel him to get his money back in dribbles of so much) per month. Such a plan should never hfcve been given expression in a body of men that has the interests of the city at heart. Already builders are going about the city discuss, ng the possibility that the government will take over houses they have built to sell. And so. many radical moves of the kind have been made that it is hard to eo' vincc vhe average man that when the thing is all threshed out the government would not do such a foolish thing. The power that was given William J. Whincry as chairman of the housing 'committee and attorney for the Bureau of Housing and Transportation, was never intended to be mis-used and Mr. Whinejy i too JIe a nvui to make a move that would positively end building operations in Hammond. His rower is for the purpose of preventing profiteering on the part of house builders. If a builder were to ask an unreasonable profit on a house he had built ar.d were to keep it idle for a long period of time for the purpose of getting such unreasonable profits, then the government would have the right and ought to take over such a building ar.d rent it. However, the fact should be given wide publicity that the average building enterprise will not be taken over by the government and that on the other hand order will soon be brought out of chaos and the way of the builder will be made easier. Only in this way can Hamm'ond's housing deficiency be remedied. WHISKEY GUARDED Br m It Must Be Precious Stuff in That Dear Old South Bend District. i Joseph Kochls and Joseph Karat of South Bend faced United States Commissioner Charles Surprise today in the Hammond federal court. In a raid at the farm of Alex Kochis, six miles west of South Bend, 100 more gallons of whiskey were added to the $15,000 worth now stored in the city hall. The nolice were tipped off to the blind tiger. Chief Kline and A. M. Kenncy of the Hepartrnent of Justice from Chicago went out to the farm. They found Fabian Barat, a Hungarian, guarding the barn as a soldier would patrol his beat. When asked why he walked around the building with a gun at night he sad he thought he heard thieves after his chickens. The officers disarmed him and after moving several tons of hay found ten 10-gallon kegs of whiskey. The government agent brought Alexis and Joseph Koch and Barat to Hammond. NUM.

Cay wood who is still in the hands of the East Chicago police lias served sentence in the penitentiary for obtaining money under false pretenses, that she had play-" ed the game there at Marietta and that her reputation was bad. She has been held at East Chicago pending this investigation. The woman claims that she is the mother of a soldier who is at the front in France and the fact that she is a soldier's mother and that she is about sixty years of age has won for her considerable sympathy. In the light of this information from Marietta, It is probable that she will be taken In hand by the departmeat of jua-
