OF E Hobo After Long Absence Finds Sad Change in Steel City. A hobo f?!pped from the blind arsa.ge of a B. & O. train this morning- !n Gary, hugged the radiator in the passenger station until the threatening scowls of the caretaker drove him out into a bright but chilly world, and turning his aack disdainfully to the steel mills ind the north wind, shambled up Sroadway. Out of the past came a. memory. In the hobo's mind dawned the fond recollection of a friendly saloon at '.he Intersection of Broadway and ?ourth avenue. On a former visit to the Jlagric City, years ago. he lad been wined and dined in that laloon by the hosts of steel workers rho went there to cash their pay (hecks. Generous fellows, these fteel workers. Always willing to uy a drink for a tramp. It was known as the Blnse.nhoff Bar, and was the biggest saloon the hobo iad ever seen in his travels over Jxe world. The free lunch at the Slnzenhoff was fit for kings. The hobo wondered what prohltltion had done to this friendly saoon. Perhaps by the mercy of tolirant officials It had survived the eourge of Volstead. He opened the door and stepped n to gaze with surprise and disfeature upon roll top desks, rows f telephones, and white-collar-tail-red-to-fit men dictating to stenographers. Oa the wall he read a ilgn: BOARD OF EDCCATIOX, Superintendent of Schools. The hobo shambled off down the Ireet. What a world! Once the Largest Bar The Binzenhoff saloon of which Ted Binsen was the proprietor, was the largest bar in Indiana and one Bf the largest In the country. It had an auditor, a protectoyraph. adding1 machines, and armed guards. Pay checks running Into hundreds sf thousands of dollars were cashed there twice a month. There were only two bar rooms south of the Wabash tracks and Jt was the one nearest the mills. After the checks cf steel workers had been cashed the money was moved from the Bnienhoff to the bank inder armed sruard. Once, In 1917, Chicago bandits held up the caravan, killing one of the guards, and making way with J20.000. It was the finest income paying saloon in tha state and the proprietor retired when prohibition came with a fortune. Days That Are Gone. -ri- P!'rirboff rame into existLow Priced?

Recently it was leased by the board of education and it is now the headquartersfpf one of the greatest educational systems in the world. Frpm the rooms that formerly assaged the thirst of the tired millmen, William A. Wirt directs the educational systems of & dozen American cities. As superintendent of the Gary schools. Wirt has become famous. The old receiving place, where the barrels of beer skidded Into the storeroom, is now the ventilator. Kays of higher 'thought have replaced, the fumea of hops.

AIR TRESPASS CASE AGAIN UP IN COURT INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa.. Octr-The most unusual trespass suit In the history of the state of Pennsylvania was recently concluded in its initial stages in the office of Justice of the Peace C. C. Rowan here. It since went to a higher court on appeal. Lieutenant Harold O. Nevln and Leon Smith, conducting aviation flights In this vicinity, passed over the farm of O. P. Grube, near town. Farmer Grube objecltd to the men flying over his premises and he went before Justice Rowan, swore out Information against the two named above and "Daredevil Hank" Cole and had the three arrested on a charge of trespass. The Informations' were based on the act of 1905, a game act, forbidding trespassing on land that is posted.

The press of business at the national convention of the American Legion in New Orleans couldn't keep the delegates from enjoying them- ! selves by staging a little Mardi Gras of their own. The Robert . Bentley Post of Cincinnati. O., started it.

The fliers admitted in court they had flown over Grube's farm, but denied having set foot on it, and they pleaded not guilty to the trespass charge. But Farmer Grube and his eminent counsel insisted that the farm property included the air above and that the aviators had no business In flying through Grube's air, and that by doing so the aviators trespassed just as much, under the law. as though they had marched ccross the place. Cownsel for Grube Insisted that the game law had been violated and Insisted on a conviction. That was a poser for the rural Justice, a brand new one on him. But he played safe and fined Nevin and Smith il each. Cole was discharged. An appeal was immediately taken to Judge Corbett in common pleas courtThis action raises the unusual question of whether the old legal principle that "the tail goes with the hide" still holds good as to whether the man who owns a farm also owns the air abeve.

NEBRASKANS QUIT BURNING UP CORN Expensive Fuel, Experiments at State University Prove To Them. t INTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICEJ LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. Even if the grain bears succeed in chopping two or three more cents off the price of f corn, NebrTaka farmers will con tinue to Durn coaj. -ne oniy corn that will go Into fuel bins this year will be damaged goods, unfit for consumption as human or livestock food. Nebraska had an epidemic of corn burning last year and found it didn't pay. even with coal prices

10 to 20 per cent fiijfher than they had ever been In this state. To determine the relative merits of corn as a fuel In comparison with coal a series of experiments have

just been completed at the Uni versity of Nebraska. The tests disclosed that it takes fifty bushels of corn on the cob or sixty-three bush els of shelled corn to produce at many heat units as one ton of bituminous ccal. At present prices for corn in the crib the farmer who burned his grain would be paying at the rate of $44 a ton for fuel. Indications are that, farmers who can't "feed out" their corn will market it at whatever price they can get. buy their winter fuel from the coal merchant and still be dollars ahead. More corn will be turned Into beef in Nebraska this year than at any time since the end of the war. At present prices a bushel of corn is worth approximately eighty cents when scientifically transformed Into steak or pork chops.
