Served With Warrants On His Charge. Because he was forced to stop and give explanations as he was driving his machine around the streets of West Hammond one right at 1:40 o'clock Charley Smith, a character well known in police circles of the Calumet region swore out warrants for the arrest of two members of the West Hammond force. The warrants were served 'his morning on Officers John Ke'Smala and John Spencer. Smith, better known f.s "Smitty." had se.nc before justice McKe at Oak Park, 111., about as far as he could get from West Hammond, to sta-t the action. The constable wh- served the papers took the men before City Judge Kowalski who fixed their bonds aft-r which they were released. The matter will come up for trial August 20. In the old davs Smith was accused a number of times by the West Hainmnd pohce. Kosmala, Okray and Kulczyk tiavc pulled him but Kosmala registered the most counts against him which the police say accounts fer his particular grudfc-u against him. Spencer and Kosmala work together at night and after midnight they pay particular attention to automob'.lists who loiter about the streets. Several night ago word was received to looL- out for a stolen car. They saw a fellow acting strangely at the side of a machine but as they approached he tried to make a hasty get-away. They gave chase and overhauled the car to find their old friend Smith aboard. He was released but promised trouble. He has made good. The warrants only i charge disorderly conduct but the officers will be put to a lot of trouble in travcln.-j to and from the Oak Paik court even though the charges fall fiat.

1 INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! i CHICAGO. Aug. 12. First effects of the nations right against the high cost of living have been felt here. The iirst 1 blow against profiteers was struck when an order was issued setting 12 cents as a fair price for a pound of sugar and the second blow was the sale of sixty thousand cans of vegetables, the first Chicago sale of government foods at two department stores. Those who purchased the goods saved eight cents on each can, er about eighty per cent. Prices askerl for fruits and produce along "Commission Row" went tumbling, potatoes leading the downward trend. They fell from 30 cents to a dollar per hundred pounds. Arrival of many peaches from southern and western Mates caused a drop in prie-es. While prices are dropping, federal government; agencies are continuing gathering evidence for prosecution of food hoarelers and profiteers. Evidence which has he-en gathered against sugar hoarde-s will be presented to a grand jury soon.

Pihits Parmley and Milnor of the Inter-state Air Line company of Chicago stunted over Hammond and arrived at their landing field at Burnhain avenue and 147th street in West Hammond shortly after three o'clock, where they will spend the balance of the week taking up passengers. Puring the past ten davs the popular young pilots have been skylarking over Gary and during their stay they gave over 200 Garyites a birds-eye of the steel city. Gary people took to the air like a duck does to water and already a number are contemplating purchasing rlanes as soon as the city tceurcs a landing site. Pilots Parmley and Milnor experienced considerable difficulty in getting a landing site in Hammond. They thought it would be possible to use the same field us the army recruiting planes arc using, but Mr. Schrum flatly refused the fliers. " They are a nuisance and I don't waut any more of th-m," he said hotly . Accompanied by a Tiiins reporter Mr. Parmley was taken to the limits of West Hammond on Burnham avenue where a fine site was secured. The field can be reached by taking West State street to the Burnham Road and thence south to 147th street. From noon until dusk the two flyers will be o mhc job. waiting to take up passengers. Reservations can be made at the field. Those who took to the; air in Gary say it was well worth the money. Both pilots are old army flyers and know the game from A to Z. They expect to beat their Gary record while in Hammond. They will remain in the city until Monday of next week. CHARGED WITH LARCENY. Lyal Swingle of 447 Elm street.
