Tomorrow at the natal luncheon It will have entered Into its second year, generating more "pep" as it goes and forging ahead by leaps and bounds. At this time it. is appro priate to recount some of the ach ievements of the club. THE FIRST TEAS Employed an expert diver to recover the body of a boydrowned In the Little Calumet river. Erected cement welcome signs at the south aud north city limits. Cleaned out and maintained swimming pool in the old H. A. A. park, employing a guard for the kids who used the pool throughout the summer. Sent number of Boy Scouts to summer camp, defraying their expenses.

MISSION OF SES.VXCX The Hammond Klwanis Club can be judged by its acts. From its inception the club has endeavored to fulfill its mission of service to the Savings Bank INDIANA

IK

city, state and nation. Some of the accomplishments may not

serm to be of great importance but they have all been of bein?fit to the community. "While, the good-fellowship "and social features of the club will repay the members for their attendance at the meetings, they have derived the greatest pleasure from the services they have been able to perform and they look forward to groat er things in the future. It is only by doirf the small things vwell that the club will become strong enough for the big tasks. A wholesmoe thing bout the Hammond Kiwanis club Is that none iff the members have attempted t use it for personal aggrandizement or to gain preference in their private business or profession. HIMSTOCI TOOK INITIATIVE Roscoe Ifemsock deserves the credit for introducing the Kiwanis movement to Hammond and Lake county. It was on his initiative tht the Hammond Kiwianis club was organied a year ago. Hemstuck, who is a real estate salesman, enthused other young men Including Paul Parker, of the Northern States Life Insurance Company, and Scott Leek, now deceased, of the gas company. Judge V. S. Itetter was elected the first president and one of the charter members was A. Murray Turner, the president of the First National bank. There are so many demands on Mr. Turner's time that he hesitated at first about accepting membership but after he had attended a few meetings he became as enthusiastic as the youngest man in the cluti. The seasoned judgment of Jutse Reiter and Turner guided the club past the shoals. "It must bo the singing and joshing and camaraderie," he said. "I count that week lost that I miss a Kiwanis luncheon." George Geyer, one of the organizers, is the present president and a very popular president, too. Ir. Geyer is devoted to the club and the Kiwanlans are very fortunate in having so capable a leader. Any comment upon the Kiwanis club would not be complete, however, without mention of P. J. Masn, the song leader. Ask any Klwanian and he will tell you that.P. J.. Mann, is the world's champion song leader. Tomorrow the Kiwanis club will have as its guests a number of prominent mn of -Whiting, who are endeavoring to organize a Kiwanis club there. The people of Hammond can rest assured that the Kiwa-nis club will never let any grass gTOw under its feet. REVEALS GARY Revelations of an active dope ring which Has been steadily gaining in its proportions, leaving scores of victims, vice and criino In Its wake. was brought to light in the Gary police court during the progress of a trial this morning. While on the stand testifying In her own defense. Mrs. Charles Smith, colored, charged with violating me state liquor law, openly admitted that her husband was not only a 'coke" fiend, but was peddling it around Gary in wholesale quantities. She told it because sne was vexed at him. He had left her last month to live with a white woman (a pros titute whom she named). "He sent a man to the house foreight dollars which I sent to him," she testified. and later he asked me for $20.00 more. When I refused to give it to him, he got sore and had me arrest ed for selling moonshine." "He's got other white women on his string," she continued. "While he was living with me, he used to go to her house and several times I watched Ihem and had to wait there for him to come out of the house in the morning." "Yes sir, he has been peddling dope and not only that but he has been taking' it himself."

I have one daughter. I am pot altogether satisfied with married life. It is all work and no pleasure for me. I have known a ycung man a year my junior for the past eleven years and I am in love with him: that is, I think of him night and day. He is single and I have been out with him several times. He says he loves me and ha? ever since we met years ago at a place where we were both employed. He is a loving man and has such winning ways while my husband is cranky and not sociable. When I see this man on the street I feel sor much better. He realizes I am tied down and tells me he doesn't want to separate me from my hus band or cause any trouble, but he; loves me. I love to be 'loved and to hear kind words. He is a respectable man in every way. What can I do? My husband buys me everything he can afford, but I long for a loving, kind-hearted man whom I can meet at the door with a smile on his face. I am tip against it. Should I meet this4 man occasionally and be happy for the time being, or be unhappy? ,Do you think this man really loves me or just tells me so? His actions seem to show it. HOPE. You are not playing on th square and unless you become honorable disaster is ahead. Out of self-respect for your daughter you should refrain from deceiving your husband. You say that he buys you everything he can afford, which shows that as far as he knows how he is trying to be a good husband. You also express the wish that you could meet a loving, kind-hearted husband at the door with a smile on his face. Has it occurred to you that the smile should be on your

Weldon Lambert of Columbus. Charles a radiant welcome. It is impossible for me to judg the man you love, but I should think that if he cared as much for you as he pretends to he would want you to be free from your husband so that you can go to him honorably. You made the vow to be true to the man you married. If you no longer love him, you ought to honorably sacrifice your own desires, or confess your regard for the other man and ask for your freedom. I am afraid that your sweetheart finds it more agreeable to make love to you when he has not the obligation of supporting you and your child. He is perfectly satisfied to have your husband retain that responsibility. Happiness is the outc omp nf right living. Do not sacrifice your future for the sake if momentary pleasure. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell me how I can get rid of blushing. I blush for everything. The older I grow the more I blush. MARY. Try to concentrate your thoughts on the people around you. When you become genuinely interested in them you will have less time to think about yourself and will feel less awkward. Do not let the habit worry you, because it is attractive if anything. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Would a gentleman tell a girl her underskirt is showing? BROWN EYES. Very few men would have the courage to tell a girl such a thing. A gentleman could do so, however, if he told her in the, right way, thinking that he could spare her future embarrassment. Acts should be judged by the way in which they are done and the motive back
