J." M. Wallace, now Captain of Company D, will receive the appoint ment as commanding officer of the battalion which carries the rank of Major, according to the organization plans of Col. A. P. Melton, regimental commander. The promotion of Captain Wallace is due to his brilliant organization work and the cp-operatton he has secured through influential citizens here since the first company was recruited In Indiana Harbor last falU His ad

vancement was also furthered by the manner In which he handled his company and the persistent efforts put forth in making it possible for the growth of military organization in East Chicago. By this additional outfit and the changes in the other, organizations, four vacancies will occur in the commissioned personnel. Most all of the officers are said to be already selected for these positions. CTTUOSITV AROUJTD Who will she be? This is tha question members of the East Chicago council are rolling over in their minds while in search for a new member on the board of education to succeed Wn. B. Van Horn, whose term expires next month. In the meantime a political shaft of light is being flung over the city in quest of the fair one whose qualifications will suit the dignity for th third chair on the board. True to their election promises, members f the council are standing pat on the proposition of, giving a woman first consideration for this appointment. "Whether she be a blond or brunette," it makes no difference said a councilman, "her beauty Is secondary." However, in the case it is impossible for us to nominate a. woman candidate from the list of applicants whom we feel are not capable of fitting Into this position then it will become neces sary for us to turn to the field of the other sex. This does not seem likely." he continued, "Judging from the choice lot of femenine applicants." ' S. T.
