There Is only room for one flag in Lake county and that fs the Stars and Stripe. There is room for only one language and that is the language of the people of the United States. REPEAL THE TAX RIGHT AWAY. When the present session of Congress took up the resolution repealing the so-called "luxury" taxes, a millstone around the necks of American consumer, there was a general satisfaction over tlie country that decisive action was to be had on the iniquitous tax passed by the last Congress. Prom Washineton now there comes the information somewhat surprising in its nature and certainly contrary to what had been expected that the repeal of the tax as provided for in the resolution has been set aside, or pigeonholed indefinitely. Perhaps the leaders in Congress do not sense the real public demand there is for the repeal of the luxury tax. They seem to have got out of quick touch with their constituents when they recently left for Washington. The merchants, manufacturers and consumers of this country are watching the present session of Congress as they never watched it before. They elected a Republican Congress to do things and not to fritter away Its time with measures not so vital to the common, ordinary, everyday life of the people of the United States. They want action on this "luxury" tax question and they would like it in a hurry. One of these days the members of the Senate and House are going before the people with a plea for reelection on the pledges they promised to carry out and the people and going to have long memories. However, It is not a matter of politics, but only a matter of business. The people are sick of paying taxes on nighties and ice cream sodas as well as a host of other things that should not be taxed, and they are going to make themselves heard before long in an unmistakable mannerRepeal the luxury tax right away!

surprises have been sprung there in the, last few years. It is only a short while ago that Gary and East Chicago did not exist at all. Indiana Harbor was nothiffc more than an empty box car amid sand dunes o"n the Lake County shore of Lake Michigan. "A Legislature in 1901 during a controversy between the railroads and a large corporation which desired to build what was to be known as ihe Calumet Canal sent a junketing committee to Lake County to pee where the harbor for the canal was to be located. This committee went to Hammond and took sleigh from there for th point on i he lake front where Indiana Harbor with its big industries is located. The entire party drove across the sand wastes where Gary and much o Fast Chicago

now lie. It was a bleak, desolate country giving lj;th promise of the extraordinary development it has witnessed. Gary is n--w one of the five second class cities of Indiana. East Chicago has enjoyed tremendous development as an industrial center. Whiting has grown rapidly and so has Hammond. In fact ne of the most wonderful sections of the country is the Calumet region, including the cities mentioned- No other section haS srown more rapidly or acquired larger or more varied industries. Commercially its history reads like a dream story. It would seem almost too good to be true if it was evident to those who care to "have a look.' During the war more than 38.000 men were employed In the Lake County industries alone. There are more than forty steel industries in East Chicago alone. Gary has some of the largest steel plants in the world." The Star dodges a lot of good things in dodging Lake County. It has the largest oil refinery, the rargest steel plant, the largest publishing plant in the world. Everything from whiskey to bibles is made in Lake County. There are 4"o factories within its confines and

environs. It is the second county to Marion in more than one respect It sent more soldiers to the war and raised t more money to keep the war going than any other county

nvith possibly the exception of Marion, but we would have to be shown that it didn't beat Marion. . Look at the T'nited War ampaign report just out for Indiana. Lake County, ISO per cent subscription, quota $296,345. raised $535,655. Look at Marion $736,000 quota, $257,000 raised. Speaks for itself, doesn't it? In getting out a special edition for Northern Indiana without coming here to see w-hat we've got is like giving Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark- Why, they don't even do it In the movies!

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER. . By DR. TALCOTT WILLIAMS. Among the sons of men there is none who really

I knows a great city except the man who has been a re- . nortpr in it. Hp has ununriVd its rienths. He has come

to know the house of crime, the house of worship, and the house of festival. He is familiar with the church and with the nether world. He has seen the greater and the lesser wheels of administrative machinery in motion. He has learned how to reach that supreme potentate, the police seregant behind his desk, and how to unravel and knit together the varying tales of bystanders. The streets of the city are known to him, bared in the greymorn, when the vast commissary of a great city is converging on the markets, thronged by the rising and ebbing tides of those who go to their work and return from it jostling in the crowded hours, suddenly empty in mid eve as the tide sweep strips the estuary of its water and full again when the theaters empty. He knows the streets of danger, full of news, and the streets of safety full of newspaper readers, comfortclogged. He comes to have an instinct as to the trail of news and he discovers,' as perhaps no other man does, how often the intelligent, the educated, the well-bred and the advantaged, are dull and hackneyed by a safe life, and how keen and swift and quick comes to he the great guerilla horde that knows the street as its hunting ground and wins by wits and not by work.

NO PRIZEFIGHTING WANTED. In view of the fact that the boxing and wrestling ordinance introduced in the Hammond city council last week was defeated by only one vote, this paper has been asked its attitude on the ordinance. This newspaper has always been in favor of clean and manly sports for young men, but it does not believe In commercialization of prizefighting. . It. does not believe in permitting Chicago boxing promoters who never did a lick of honest work in their lives to come out with what they call their stables to cities in the Calumet region and havina in their train mobs of crooks, pickpockets and hangers on of pugilism. What a great city like cosmopolitan Chicago will not permit to be held within its gates, we do not believe that Hammond or any other Indiana city should permit. Thi3 newspaper does not believe in contests of any kind between old and worn-out has-beens and youneer men which result in bloody mauling matches. - It does not believe in such commercialized prizefights as the Dempsey-Willard affair- Cleanly conducted, limited round commission-governed boxing- matches between highly trained men, under licensed clubs are a different, matter.

SECRECY ANb REPRESENTATION. The rot that the peace conference at Versailles represents the people of the world" is rapidly becoming as clear as crystal. How can the people be represented when they have no earthly idea what is going on under the peace table? The secrecy enveloping the proceedings prevents the people from being represented. As Richard Washburn Child says in Colliers last week. It is secrecy which has made the peace conference apear to the world as an arena where idealists clash

' with "practical" delegates. Secrecy has made the rumors

of intrigue. Secrecy has caused the whispered comment that international bankers have found their way into the highest counsel.1?. Secrecy has given Germany the handle with which to spread the news that serious breaches are being made between the nations allied in war. Secrecy has cloaked the vacillating policy which first suggests that the Lenine government in Russia i3 unspeakable, next proposes conferences with its representatives Hit' Prinkipo. considers invasion of Russia, counts its endless costs and rejects it, and finally allows an American emissary to go to Russia for a talk with Lenine and hopes that the public won't find out that he has been sent. Secrecy has made the peace a long way from a people's peace. Secrecy has made it impossible for Lloyd George or Wilson or others to say that they represent their people because no mouth in all the world ean be opened to say that people know more about what

' is going on under the table than mere rumors and dust-

dry communiques.

WE note that Mr. Bryan wants to run again FOR president in 1320 SUPPOSE he has visions of a million men SPRINGING o his aid over night. WOMAN of 75 wants divorce from man she HAS been married to for 39 years WELL, we suppose 39 years is a long; time to GET up and see the same FACE every morning. WE would like to have you remember THAT when a man tumbles TO a thing: he does not fall for it by any means. IF some men eat fish because it is i SAID to be good brain food WE'LL bet a cookie IT Is weakfish that they eat. NOT to be cynical , BUT just remember that MANY a man inquires after your health WHO rnally 'doesn't care a whoop WHETHER It's good, had or indifferent. FASHION writer says WOMEN should wear sweaters for warmth AND not for beauty WE didn't suppose they were actuated BY any such a purpose In WEARING anything. THOUGH it is announced that there will be no more LIBERTY Loans it just seems as if we CANNOT get away from the habit of taking off our hat TO our block chairman AND inquiring: solicitloualy about the children. HEADLINE says "GARY Urges Mercy For Germany" LET'S se. how many relatives did Mr. Gary LOSE during the war? AS a man grows older he lives more AND more in his memories and if WE should harpen to run across a girl some day WHO swished and frou-froued we often think we SHOULD fall into her arms WITH a long: deep sigh of something more than FRIENDSHIP and we suppose this would CONSIDERABLY startle even a girl WHO would swish and frou-frou in these SCANT hut modern days. IN that day when all things shall be revealed it may DEVELOP that the reason his brothers sold Joseph Into EGYPT was because he had the cooties.

PASSING UP OLD LAKE. The Indianapolis Star comes to bat with a fourteen page special addition to its Monday edition, which it label? Northern Indiana Section. It is a very creditable bit of journalism, only it should have been labeled Central Indiana. The real northern Indiana is politely ignored. The greatest manufacturing center in not only Indiana but in the Middle West is overlooked almost entirely. Anderson, Lafayette, Kokomo, Marion, Elwood, Logansport are the cities given the greatest space. Neither Hammond. Gary, East. Chicago, Whiting, Indiana Harbor, nor Crown Point is given a separate story. In a little story the Star says: "The counties situated on the northern edge of Indiana, are doing big things without attracting widespread attention. This probably is due to the fact that so many

A PERTINENT QUESTION. A subscriber to The Times propounds an interesting question. "T bought a tube of tooth-paste and paid a cent tax on if. Thera was no stamp on it. I ate a dish of ice cream. I paid a cent tax on it. In neither case did I get the least, sign of a receipt or stamp. How does the government keep track of the taxes it is supposed to get from ice cream parlors? Who keeps track of the extra cent that it charged for ice cream cones? I don't wish to impute anything wrong, but how is it done?"

Until you learn at which port rtie soldier w;ll dock you cannotdirect a letter to him to rach him upon his arrival. After you learn on which ship he is sail and where he will arrive you might direct a letter in care of the port of embarkation, aiding the name of the e:ty. If you have, had no better luck in sking information at Vashinrton regarding home comings than others have had. it won't do you any good to write the war department. Inquiry made by the Times of Washington as to the 9"th division elicits no information.

We ask you to put FAMO to the most exacting test. Have a member of your family examine your scalp before you start the use of FAMO. Apply FAMO daily for one month. Have your scalp examined again. If they do not report the growth of new hair, return the FAMO bottle to where you purchased it and you will receive your money back. FAMO DOES grow new hair luxuriantly. It makes the hair fluffy and soft. FAMO intensifies a natural tendency to waviness and retards grayness. It contains no harmful alcohol to dry the scalp and produce gray hair. Every woman should use FAMO regularly. Its use i3 a daily habit you will enjoy. Rut not only does FAMO beautify the hair. FAMO kills the deadly seborrhea microbe which is the cause cf dandruff. It stops all itching of the scalp and nourishes and feeds the hair roots. It penetrates the scalp without massage and gives life and sheen to the hair. FAMO was evolved by scientists In one of the famous laboratories of Detroit.

Three years were spent in perfecting it before it was offered to the public. The ingredients in FAMO have never beiore been used on the head. But they have been well known to medical science for many years. They work differently from any other hair preparation. FAMO stands alone. If your hair is thin and lacks lustre and the dandruff scale causes constant irritation of the scalp, you should start the use of FAMO at once. It destroys the dandruff bacilli. FAMO is sold at all toilet good counters in two sizes 35 cents and $1. The dollar bottle is extra large and contains four times as much as the smaller size. Applications of FAMO may be had at the better barber shop3 and hair dressing establishments. Srbrrheo is th medical name for m mcririiiy increased fto from the sebaceous giands cf the scalp.
