AIDED BY

DVERSTY

Many Of Its Varied Industries Are Running On Fine Basis. Tlsa dlvrelty and number of the Industries In the city of East Chicago ara proving: to be very helpful to ths community during the present readjustment period, and as a result thousand of men are employed.

THE CEMtXT ISDl'STRV.

Universal Portland Cement, the world's largest cement plant, the bullc of -whose employes live In the Indiana Harbor district of East Chicago, is doing: a very fine business, and has a large production rate. While demand for cement In the building trades industry Is not what It should be. yet there Is a natlon-tvide program of road building goi g on. In consequence East Chicago benefits. SOAP. LEAD. Oil, TANKS.

Another large Industry running practically normal Is the Cudahy Packing compaTij-. home cf ' Oia . Putch Cleanser." The usual sum-, mertim demand for Cudahy soaps an'. : washing powder is on. Also this is; the busy season for the refrigerator j car departent of the Cudahy plant. East Chicago's two lead refineries. I V. S. S. Iad and International Lead , are running normal -with mine pro-!

duction. Some pickups in the copper business has cheered the leads. Seasonal demand for o'.l and gasoline, keeps up production at Sinclair and Standard refineries. It is true that the gasoline and oil markets are pot what they -were last year, yet tha oil Industry of the East Chicago-Whiting district Is the one industry in the Calumet region that has never ceased operations . Graver corporation, fabricators -r

oil, -ocater and sugar tanks, is operat

ing at even a higher production rate than a year ago. THE STEELS. As In other steel communities the steel Industry Is undergoing readjustment, and with railway wage cuts in effect in July, bringing possible railway orders, and with gradual settlement or the building question, a more hopeful outlook Is seen. Furthermore, when railways get the receipts from moving grain during the summer and early fall a beneficial sffect is expected . OTHER PLAATS BfSV. Among the other East Chicago Industries that are busy are the Hates Expanded Steel Truss company, having heavy xport business; Union Iron Products company, which turns out culverts and other road construction materials. On the whole, the diversity of the city's industrial districts have stood it well, and giving it a more enviable position than many other IndustriaJ communities .

AT THE PARTHENON

"Dangerous Business," which opened

I's engagement at the Parthenon thea

ter yesterday is a film version of the widely read novel. "The Chessblard," N-rltten by Madelains Sharp BiiclimTand adarted for the screen by John Emerson and Anita Loos. It is different than the usual run o? photoplays Inasmuch as in the big scene tn which the supposed "husband" orders his bride to undress and go to bed In their bridal suite she Is forced to obey through stress of circumstances and no third party breaks down the door and rescues the onwed girl In th neck of time, as has always heretofore happened in the fifth reel. The, audience positively gasps at this new and daring situation. It Is not a play, that Is supposed to conbey a message, or encompass a vital idea, but the climax of this uncommon plot Is too good to spoil in tin telling. The heroine is played by Constance Talniadge. whos popularity among film fans w'M be further enhanced ty the f rcshn and charm she displays in the rolo of Nancy FiavtlT.

QUITE A HAUL, YES! Sad dog, attention: Look, over this list. Yesterday the police counted the haul obtained from Leonard Hill .nd George Palencus. the two Detroit booza rur.ir.'t-rs captured on almost the la-trt long mile of their Journey from Windsor. Canada to Chicago with a load of Illicit liquor. Here -is what they found. Johnny Walker whiskey, 35 quarts; Mitchell's Irish whiskey. 11 quarts; Teachers whiskey, 6 quarts; White Horse whiskey, 4 quarts; Queen Anne whiskey, l quart; Luccln Tancalt Cognac brandy. 1 q;art; gin. 6 quarts. ' The runners and their load were turned over too prohibition Chief Gus Simons yesterday. Hill, the owner cf the car, 1 sheld under a $2,000 bond Palencus' bond is set at $1,900.

Bridal Superstition. According to old belief it i an omen of good uck a long and happy married life for a bride to slip as she passes up the aisle on her way to the altar.
