The conetruition of the road way has been haninjr fire fr a lonp time and it ia aid that if the eonatructton is not tarted at once, legal proceedings will be started against the Hammond men and their bondsmen. The contractors promise to start the vork just as soon as they are able to place the material on the prround. Most of the (Trading work has been finished and the job is to he rushed to completion. Its construction will eliminate hundreds of serious accidents as all traffic going west will use the new road.

The roOte is the shortest cut to Chicago and carries more traffic than any other road in Lake county.

UH8 nr.STHOYKO Indiana Harbor citisens have tired of spending fime and money in beautifying their lawn only to have them continually cut up and ruiaed by hors trs and cattl which the owners allow to run at large. Occasionally, theyy say. it Js to be expected that a horaw

or cow will get loose and get on tha lawns but when the same thing happens day after day without the owner making any effort to sf o-p the nuisance, it Is time for drastic action. This morninc the court room was filled with enraged citizens who were present to prosecute the case arainst bo'th Anton Paskewitz. SflO Alexander avenue, and Mose Benedick. 433 Alexander avenue.

NEIGHBORHOOD QUARREL A riot call from 149th and Melville avenue yesterday afternoon sent the police patrol filled with officers to the scene of a neighborhood quarrel in which It was difficult to determine who was who and what was what. About four hundred negroes and whites were gathered about the principals In the fight tad interspersed, among the crowd were all the neighborhood pets and pests cats, dogs, sheep. cows, horses,, goats chickens and near the center of the crowd a couple of donkeys . The trouble apparently started .over a neighborly exchange of words in

which some rather uncomplimentary J

namely were Ireely loosed. Then the shooting began and although no one was hurt it looked f.r a short time as though there might be serious trouble. With the arrival of the police and the arrest of four women and oneman the cro-wd dispersed, most of them to appear as spectators today in the city court . Tho arrested were Jennie Streeter, Thos. Streeter. Willie Lee 'Mitrfcell, of 5001 Alxander avenue. Alberta Clark and Louise Watkins. 4MS Melville ave. The last three are charged with attempting to kii,J while the first two are charged only with having concealed weapons.

Following an inspection "tour yesterday in company, w ith the Board of Wcrks the mayor this morning issued orders for the arrest of all truck and automobile drivers who pass through the city with cut-outs open. The Board determined upon a personal t.ir of infection to make sure Just how bad the cement hauling unisance has become an dwhat could be done to alleviate the trouble and found that much of the trouble is caused by the use of open mufflers. Some f the trucks which were stopped because they were throwing up an unusual amount of dust were found tc have their cut-out dlscon-

What if Plants Would Have to Close

Probably not from lack of orders, but due to railway conditions, what if some plants perhaps the place where you work would have to close down for two weeks or a month? That is always a possibility. Would you have a cash reserve to tide you over? A savings account at the bank means react money if you need it. Or would you have to undergo the embarrassment of borrowing money from friends or relatives to pay the grocer and butcher? Not if you have saved regularly. Why not put something aside in this bank this coming pay day as a safeguard against the workless day? It is never too late to start saving.

East Chicago, Ind. JoJy 21, 1920. My Dear Son: I dropped into a neighbor's the other day and found the head of the family blustering. "Listen to this," he said, and then read a note from his son at college, who was "broke" and must have a "ten spot" by return mail. "I send that boy enough," he stormed, "why should he always be in debt?" Diplomatically, I showed him that the fault was all his own. He hadn't trained the boy, when a child, to save and to manage small affairs. Parents who start a savings account for their children and teach them to add to it regularly, seldom experience the disappointment this man was undergoing.

Yours truly,

Dad.
