for financing and obtaining information as to possible locations. It wa at this point that Frank OTtour'.ie presented his plan. It was similar to the one which had been up for consideration . in Gary in connection with the rrection of a soldiers and sailors memorial by the city. Mr. O'Hourke reviewed the status of the memorial proposition in Hammond as he understood it. The last action taken by the city council on the matter was to dieauree with the memorial committee, which had submitted plans for a combined city hall and memorial builrlin?. which was to eot in thf reighborhood of half million dilnrs. The matter was ordered recommitted, but according t,- F"ioyl Murray, who is a member of the committee, the action of the council has never been officially brought to the committee's) attention. The .--peaker sugrgrsted that under the Indiana law providing for the erection of memorials wide range is given as to the forurc which the ine, mor'.al may take. As the expcnie

building proposed seems long; i off. he believed an athletic park ronwtructed by the city and dedicated to the soldiers and sailors would came much nearer meeting the approval of the war veterans. I'nder the plan which had occurred to him, at least four acres of land would he acquired, -which would h sufficient to accommodate basehill cames, football sames and track meets. There would also be the pl ground features for younger children and a jrymnaslum larse enough for Indoor athletics. In connection with the public gym would be the club rooms for the use of tiie American Uesrion only. There were over 15 members of the Hammond poe-t of the legion at fne meeting and all of them agreed that the project would rtrike the ex-scrvice men Just right. With instructions tr include this feature also in their investigation t'ie ! ways and means committee was then lowing are the members: Frank 0"Rourke. Floyd Murray. John Huchel. Mel Monnette and Frank Martin. The committee "will try to have some sort cf report at the next meeting of the fans which will tie held at the same place neit Friday evening.

CONGRESS MAY

L By GEonor, rt. holmes ISTAFF CORMSPOhDCNT I. N. SEHVICII WASHINGTON, Lec. 4. The expiring congress of the democratic administration which convenes Monday may have had the unprect dented experience of hearing both a president and a president-elect of the United States. Never in ihe legislative history of the government has there been such a thing:, and 'Washington, official and otherwise. Is considerably Interested. Krom the White House today cam no intimation a to whether President Wilson haa decided for or against appearing in person before the anetmbled house and senate to deliver his lasi. message. The niatter. it was said, entirely up to the president himself, but assurances wore forthcoming that the chief executive is entirely tit physically to perform tho tasU if he -icc:s to do so. Unless plans are chinged ai ihi last moment, it is expected that the opening of the sena'e Monday may re President-elect Harding in his sea.. He has informed fri.nda here that be believes it his duty to attend the opening as he is still a senator. If he does it is considered practically certain that he will make a few remarksIt will be the first time in history that a sitting senator has appeared on the floor as a president-elect. -Some close friends of the president have, advised again.'t his appearing tn person to "aing his swan song." The president is now in better physical condition, eccoiding to those close to him, than he has been at any time since his hrcaUd"wn in the west forced him into a yiai'j inalidism. H3 has put on considerable weight in the past few months and outside of the fact that his hair is now snow white whereas It was iron gray before there is little difference in apvarance between the Woodrow Wilson of today and the Wooorow Wilson of two years ago. according to those who see him frequently. These friends of the president loo: upen his g'ing to the capilol as an "unnecessary ta.ik." Th'-y point out that he has nothing whatever to gain by so dramatic a strp and that he has everything to lse--his health Tlifs strain of personally delivering a message to the assrmbltd houses always has been terrifli- for tli- president, even in the days before Die war. Th president himself is kctnly dsirous of delivering his message "n person. It remained a question today whether he would follow out his personal desires, or acquiesce :n the wishes rf hi. frien Is that he remain In the White Hnu!(o tni leave to a reading clerk the task of intoning hi last big communication. Whether the pre?ident does or del not go to the captt"l, he will, tn any event, receive the usual house an"l senate delegations which will call af the White House on Monday to inform him that the congress is assembled, and to ask whether he has any business to lay before It. Last yesr. because, of th" president a Illness, he was informed of the opening of congress by letter and he transmilted hia message to b read by n clerk. The message itsel' was practically completed today, it probably will be sent to the printer bit tiii aft rnoon. It is doubtful whether copies of it wi'l be available tor the newspapers before Iste Monday afternoon. Thert- probably is not a man n Washington today fjnvtliar with what it contains. The president haa writlen it himself almost alone. Secretary of State Colby has been hia one asistant in its preparation, and Colby la today aboard a warship hound for South America on an official mission. DIVORCE SUII Because his wile r.svcr showed any affection for him and later disa pre-ared. I taking his money with her. Aaron V.. Sherer. 411. nlh st. Whiiing. has filed sui' for a divorce from T.uella Ehercr in the Hammond superior court. The complaint which drawn by Attorney J. H. Fe'.terhoff states that Aaron and 'Luwlla were rnrrld June 12, 1919. and separated in December ef the same year. Aaron eaye his wife not only showed no affection, but. she, improved every opportunity to impress upon him that she cared naught for him. She is eajd to have remained away from home nights. She never would use Aaron's name after their marriage Kit preferred to go under an aaetimed name. When away from home she would epend his money for her own entertainment and on the day she deserted him, Aaron says ehe went to the bank, drew out all of his money and took it with her. -.J i-l J mi ja-iii --J 1 1JJ WANTED GIRLS and WOMEN Must be over 16 years old.

Republican senators opposed to ratification of tne treaty of Versailles said they were not surprisd at Argentina's action. -I am not at all surprised." said Senator New, republican, Indiana, member of the senate foreign relations committee. "It was to he expected that big intelligent nations UK Argentina would discover eooner or liter the serious defects in the league covenant which the senate refused to commit the American people to or permit the U. S. to be caught in its entangling provisions." "Just as I expected would brgin t happen eventually." sid .Senator Norris, republican, of Nebraska. "A structure built on sand is bouil to eollspse eventually I thank Go-1 the V.
