VOL. XIV, NO. 280. S. A. WORK IS PRAISED In the drive now on in Hammond to rajse $7,000 to add to the te.n million j dollar national campaign for the Salvation Army Home Service appeal, one fact stands out prominently the fact that the enthusiasm for the Salvation Army is wa.rmest among those who have com" in actual contact with the Salvation Army. It is not svirprisinsr. there.fore. t find sn unanimous endorsement among the soldiers, sailors and marines, particularly the overseas men for the Sanation Army. This also explains why the Hammond doctors, dentists and drugtrists when a.kod by City C"hirm.in H. J. Oeschcidler to raise $250 responded with $.150. Th-y know from their professional experience that many tim--s the Salvation Army was the only one to come to the rescue of somo huwian derelict. Gol. i. TT. Vinee.tt, works manager of the Standard Steel ?ir Co.. who saw o-er?ea servie in charge of construction work, probably voices th sentiment of every man who wore the uniform, when eiked for a statement this morning. "I am for the Salvation Army," he said. "As an organisation, and its individual men and women . end' a red themselves to the oversea forces, because of the real aid they ga-e us, and the self-sa.crifice with whici it ,wtls given I am glad to have an opportunity n-c to show in a way my appreciation for the Salvation Army, especially now since that -will help thejn to do mora good." The campaign in progress has none of the high, pressure methods which were used during the war for various "drives." " The donations this weeJi must be voluntary and given whole-heart ediy. The many workers for the cause have but two objects namely, to help the Salvation i.Vrmy and to put Hammond on, the map as a city with a big heart. In addition to the contributions enumerated yearterd ay a. few more ca.ire in' today. Frank J. 'Wachewicz and'VViiI'.am J. Hasting, representing the real estate firm, turned in $100; A. V.. Wilcox of the Conkey Co.. reported $125 for the employes and the company, and the Illinois Car Co. contributed $23. Some of the ladies who are makin; brmse tt house canvasser are also meetir.g with uniform good response. In one block one of the workers yesterday rcported she received $11. Chairmaji Gesc-heidler asks that all committees who have not already done so, make a report to him at the Hammond Trust & Savings Bank, or to Miss Margaret Pirie, secretary and treasurer at the Chamber of Commerce, not later tlvan Saturday evening, whether the committee's work is completed.

Corporation's Prices for Houses it is to Sell. Seventy-five tenants of house built by the U. S. Housing Corporation in Hammond's I.yndora addition, decided 8t a meeting last night that th price asked by the government in the sale of the houses are too high and efforts will be made to hold un the sale util the matter can be inve.-M igar.ed. - J The LvTidora "Welfare Association was organized recently among the tenants of the government houses. I.ast night's ! nr-eiing was cal!e,l at the I,yndora hotel after the tenants hafl received notices of the approaching sale of their property stating the prices which had been fixed for the houses in which they hye and giving them until next Wednesday j in which to exercise the option which I was given, to all renters. At least hn.lf of the families Ii jng in the subdivision were represented and the opinion was voiced that, considering the situation, the prices ftxed should bo lowered. Frank Martin, who is the government's agent m the sa.l was freent when the meeting convened, but a.s it had been called for tenants only, he was not permitted to renrnin. but returned and spoke after tie business of the evening had been transacted. He bad been made the butt of mm h of the argument of the session a.s the imrressioii prevailed tnat he was going: to clean up fffm $.10n to $500 on each house. This idea Keoms to have been started by the action of the Housing Corporation in odding the above sums to the prices which had been fixed on the houses by the appraisers. When Mr. Martin was permitted to speak, he explained that he was merely lt.d the chairman to see the contract between rum and the authorities at Washington. He is to get a commission of one-half of one per cent where sales are made to tenants. Following his speech and the proof which he submitted, the renters were inclined to let up on their condemnation of the agent, but they remained unchanged in their original determination to protest against the prices. MARRIAGE LICENSES PROBABLY NEXT THING Early this morning around ten o'clock s me. ne crept up to the entrance to ihe office (-f city comptroller Harrv Rrocrtjes and on the wall next to the (1,-kt tacked a sicrn. The pl.-ti.ard -was artistically executed. Two word-- were framed in a neat vati-colred border. In opposite 'orners had been passed the heads of two fine 1,-oking bull dogs. As employes bcgn struggling in they surveyed th sign and began to laugh. . Rill Bridge, city engineer, sauntered in. looked at the sign and chuckled. When Rill chuckles the building shakes and when he laughs animate objects become petrified. When Rroei tje arrived he was Vnet by the perplexing smiles of his colI'asues. U-ori tjes saw the starn. snorted clisg-i.tell-. and ripped it fri-m the wail. -Who put that up there." he thundered. IDs thunder wa" drowned by the laughter of Hi 1 1 Rridere. "Where's Bielefeld: he's always at the bottom of this d d nonsenro." roared F.roerejes. The sign said: "Dog Department." ."I'll admH that we do issue dog ! licenses hut this is the e-ffice of the ! city comptroller." said Rroertjes. and ait he became calmer he admitted that . within the past two days over two i hundred rn; licenses have been isIsued by his department. P. S. :Bielefeid locat ed by a Times reporter, denied a plot to ruin the d'g. nity r-f the office of the city comptroller. Complications are looked for.

WATCH OUT FOR POSEW How a clever Hammond woman outwitted the rustic authorities of a crossroads town in Illinois after she had been maliciously arrested wa. revealed here today. The story carries also a warning to other Indiana motorists who may drift into the toils of the grsft ting of the little burg. The Hammond woman yesterday was gliding along Thornton road in her chummy roadster. She passed an old lr.nd mark and knew that the corporate limits of Tosen. III., encompassed her. As she approached the crossing of the Grand Trunk railroad, near Blue Island, she almost drew to a. stop. There were no trains in sight and she drove over the crossing. A moment later up wheezed a man on a motorcycle. "You're under arrest, by heck," says he, "For what?" ajsked the Hammond woman. "For what?" says the village sleuth, as he removed a stalk of timothy from his mouth. "Well for not stoppin' before you crossed the railroad tracks. You gotta come to a full stop. Nowcome on and see the judge." Outside the dingy shack that served as "calaboose" and city court of Poscn the woman drew her car to a halt. About twenty other cars, some bearing Indiana license tags, and others in transit, were parked before the bar of injustice. "YouJ'll have to put up $10 cash bond to appear here tomorrow" morning." said the judge. The woman was well supplied with currency and a like amount of susrpicion. "I'll have to give you a check." she said. After whispered Consultation with his henchmen the judge cons-ented to accept the check. Of course the woman stopped payment immediately on returning to Hammond. According to her lawyer the "kangaroo court' 'is an oil graft and she had b-- n wrongfully arrested. other Hammond motorists will avoid Posen, 111., on week-end pleasure trips.
