The Illinois Steel Company and" the Coloro Fuel Sl Iron Company of Pueblo, Colo- . ratio, are the only other rail producers in the west. There are only four rail producing mills in the country. Plans for converting the big structural mill at Indiana Harbor into a rail mill are already under way. An extension to the structural mill 400x 100 feet will be built in addition to an uncovered addition 400 feet long. WOHK TO STAIIT WON. The contract for fabricating steel for the mill has been awarded to the Morava Construction company. The plans call for a three stand, three high mill. Work of changing the rolls' and ,'urr.lshing equipment for the rail mill will begin immediately. The decision of tho Inland Steel Company to produce rails was reached some time afro.

The unofficial estimates of the total registrations lor the city elections follows: Gary 15.3-0 Hammond lS.nS'i East Chicago . . ; 7.00'i Whiting 3.15" The official registrations for the national (lection a year ago were as follows: Gary, 16.384; Hammond. 10.426; East Chicago, S.o;ri, and Whiting. 2.63. The heavy loss of first paper votes In Gary and East Chicago and an Increase in the w-oman votes In Hammond and Whiting mark the total registration for the November city elections in Lake county. Yesterday wa the final day of reglatrnt Ion. Hammond furnished the big surprise by registering approximately 13.050 votes. In the fifteenth Hammond precinct 1,350 men and wonun were registered, a majority of them women While it is estimated 2.200 first paper voters wero cut out In East Chicago by the new state law, this very fact encouraged hundreds of citizens ti register who have been negligent at previous elections because of flrit paper voting. It is believed that J. K. Reppa loses 2.00Q votes by the cutting off of first paper rotlng. Hammond shows an Increase of or 2,000; Gary a loss of 1.00; East Chicago a loss of 1.000 and Whiting a gain of 600. The tremendous Interest In the city elections in each 6f the cities la manifest by the total registration. E PARENTS FOR That about "one hundred and on percent" of the boys and many of the girls who come before him are clg-aret smokers was the statement of Judga K. Miles Norton of Crown Point In hU addf.ss before Garfield Club of the First Christian church last night. Judge'Norton who handles the Juvenile court work In connection with th many other duties which fall upon the Circuit Judge believes that l.e Juvenile side Is the most serious of all. Attaches of th Juvenile court hav compiled statistics covering tho work handled by the court and the Judge gave some of the figures last night. They show that either deliquency is on the increase In I-ake county or the I juvenile workers are unearthing more of it than before. Since January 1 1 this year 37") eases have been ffled an.1 374 disposed of In tho civil side of the irlrcuit court. On the probate side 255 cases have been filed while In the Juvenile department the number hai reached 520. These figures were compiled about October 1. ,rlr all of last year 4s? civil oa.e were filed, indicating n marked decrease for this year. But In the juvenile field the totul for the year wan 584 or only about 50 more than for th ten months of this year. It Is evident that 1921 will run far ahead of H20. Figures on delinquency by r.atlonailtics do not bear out the contention that I It is confined to the foiVgn classes. While 73 per cent of the ;ase I year were from homos reign born, it must be remembered that this also I practically represents the percentage j of foreign born population In the ; northern cities from w-hl -h most of th? cases come. Only one per cent of the children have been colored but the percentage of colored adult offenders Is much higher. Judge Norton docs not believe that heredity has all to do with the future of a child. He believed heredity and environment are equally responsible and that if the environment Is warned closely the hereditary features may he overcome. In connection with this he Insists that all children are not born equal, contrary to the popular statement. He spoke of the various hereditary diseases which often Inflict children and with which tiny have no chance at all of holding their own In lire's battle. H had with him pictures of a family of children at the county farm, deformed and idiotic becaues of disease germs w h'.ch v. ere in thefr systems at birth.
