s&ce the adoption of the safety measures amounted to $140,832 for the same length of time. The cost of actual changes made on the road In tke cause of safety would probably not exceed $50,000. It haa beea estimated that, "with this stun taken as a generous allowance for safety measures, evca o, as experience has proved, the railroad would receive a yearly profit of 214 per cent. The saving of human life is the first consideration, of course. But even that may also be counted tn terms of dollars and jsents, and a needless waste of life means loss of money-. Preventive measures are relatively inexpensive. This is a lesson which all organizations having to do with activities perilous to life and health, are learning. Safety pays. The money spent in Its pursuit is not wasted- but stands rather for an insurance of the corporation's equipment

THE BRAIN IS SUPREME, Remember how on Fourth of July night you used to take a little fireworks stick called a sparkler and whirl it about ? You wove circles, rugife eights, all sorts of fantastic patterns in the air. And at that time you didnt realize that the figures you were seeing didn't, exist at alL It was your eyes that were deceiving you. Try the same experiment any time with a match or a glowing cigar. You can't trust your eyes. That's why so many of us need gasses. You can't trust your nose, either The sweetest almond smell may come from deadly cyanide of potassium. Many of the poison gases in the world war had a not unpleasant smell at first Your ears are just as unreliable. Just try to whistle a tune in someone's presence. Unless you are a phenomenon, youll whistle mostly wrong notes, off key Your whistler's all right. It's your ear that's playing a trick on' you. Your taste, allied to smell, is equally deceptive. The sense of touch Is probably the most reliable of all, but it is a poor thing at best How would you like to sit down blindfolded among enemies, and agree to eat whatever you might be permitted to feel of? Then, if the five senses are such poor servants, how is it we get along so well with their aid? It is because the brain directing them Is more perfect than any one sense. When the eyes fail, the brain orders the touch-sense and the hearing-sense to help out No life, no home, no business, can be successfully carried on without a central mind more capable than any of the subordinates. Just as your sense, co'-operatlng achieve what no single one could do, so in your every activity you will find most success if you, too, learn to co-operate. Know when to subordinate yourself, and be not afraid when It comes your time to command. ,

A lot of trouble on the other side of the world today comes from the fact that an outpost of empire is too often an oil well.

It is noticeable that smoking among college girls is so unusual that it makes a sensational news story when one does.

DRAFT HORSES STARRED AT

HORSE SHOW

-tSECIAL TO THE TIMES JOSW iUHK, Nov. 16. Horses used in business are attracting an unusual amount of interest at the National Horse Shows thlsyear, according to the cpln'on of torse experts In different parts of the country. "The year 1922 Is a record year for the entries of draft horses In the National Horse Show, held In New Tork City during the week of November 13th to 19th." according to a statement Just issued by Wayne Dlnsmore, secretary of the Horse Association of America. "As a result of the Increase in classes for this type of horse, there were six different draft horse dssea In the New Tork show," Mr. Dlnsmore said. Tn one class alone there -were twenty-two entries. New York's lead will be followed by other shows throughout the season. "It is of Interest to note that these draft horses are the means by which we get many of the necessities of life In towns and cities. Ice, milk, bread, coa.1 trucking and expressage were among the businesses represented by owners of these horses. An effort Is being made by owners of commercial horass to renew the old-time practice of a draft horse parade In New Tork City. From the interest shown In the proposed plan It is possible that such a parade will be held In the spring of 1923. One has not been held sines before the war In 191.M In the commercial vehicle and draft horse class, the entries are designated as shown bfeore a suitable working vehicle, "horss to count 75 per cent, wagon, harness, QUtpmsnt and driving IB per cent" In several of the classes it 1 stated that "all horsaa must be required to show at a walk and trot and mast baok promptly." Mr, Dlnsmore said that tha Increase in these special classes of horses ar Indicative of the fact that horses are a more Important factor tn business this year than they have been for years past. The National Horse Show cpened In Squadron A Armory, Park and Madison nves. and 94th st., this week. The government census taken January 1, 1920, shewed" that the horse has beyond all doubt stated a comeback for the census disclosed that there ware B,OS3,g81 horses and mules at work In cities, towns and villages, A survey of th use ef the horse for short hauls has resulted in definite business economy.

OTKe Story of tlie Edward C. Minus Company

BT ONE TfEO KSfOWS

o o

Among the treasurered possessions of the . Edward C. Minas Co. are several old photographs. They are interesting because they depict in a forceful manner the wonderful growth of this great department store. One, which is faded and dim, shows the original store of Edward C. Minas at State st., and Oakley av-.f just as he started business ia 1890 in the little one-story building with his scanty stock of hardware. The second is an interior view of the store which he opened in the new building five years later. What a contrast I Compared with his first store it was a tremendous-step forward. It was considered tho last word in hardware stores. Compared with his present store the difference provokes mirth. The photograph was taken before Mr. Minas had reached the decision to establish his furniture department. He then had the most complete hardware store in Northern Indiana. But, although the store then had acquired a reputation for the service which it rendered, its equipment was typical of its day. Great oil hanging lamps, with fancy prism glass decorations, occupied prominent positions. Many of them were being sold then in Hammond. The store had a gas lighting plant of its own but it was unreliable and the oil lamps were always ready. You look in vain for many of the modern articles now carried in a hardware stock. Brush type carpet sweepen are prominently. Vacuum cleaners were unheard of. Gasoline cook stoves, hard coal heating stoves, feather dusters, corn poppers, cistern pumps and kerosene cans bring back recollections of conditions as they were twenty-five years ago. The fact that heating stoves, curry combs, grooming brushes and sleigh bells occupy front places leads to the surmise that the picture was taken In winter. Another picture shows the store after the second fifty-foot section had been erected. It was then a real department store. The furniture department had been added and had met with a hearty reception before this addition was built. Conspicuous in this picture, which is an exterior view, is the trademark of the Edward C. Minas Co., which had been adopted by Mr. Minas and which had become familiar to shoppers within a wide radius of Hammond. It waspainted on the blank west wall of the building where it was plainly visible from far west on State street. It was a picture of two clasped hands. One was labeled "our store"; the other "the public". Above and below the hands was the store's slogan "Confidence and Reliability".

Aod as the pu&IIe continued to gtve til p 1

tronage 10 me expanding store those words gradually became linked with the name of the Edward C. Minaa Co ia the people's minds. That trade mark was painted over years ago when a new sign was put up but the thought it conveyed was not effaced. Today tho firm name suggests "Confidence and Reliability" ta thousands of patrons.

Unfortunately, as has been mentioned before, the Edward C Minas Co. is not the 011I7 business in Hammond bearing the Minas name The Minas Furniture Co., conducted by the Greenwald Brothers, but with which no member of the Minas family is now connected, is often confused with the Edward C Minas Co. Some think it is the furniture section of the depart ment store conducted under another roof.

Business houses in other cities, with which the Edward C. Minas Co., has transactions, must 1 often be reminded' that the two stores are entirely separate. Not long ago a shipment of fnnrftare eeo. ' signed to Edward C Minas Co was delivered to the department store and placed in the warerooms. Later in checking the invoices with tha orders it was found that the furniture was intended for the Greenwald store. It is presum- " ed that a shipping clerk at the wholesale housa made the mistake which many people of the t Calumet region have made In thinking that ths , two stores were one and the same. Again let it be emphatically stated that neither Edward C. Minas nor any member of the Minas family is connected with the Minas Furniture Co.

Since this series of historical articles was started several new cases have come to light in which patrons of the Edward C. Minas Co., had been deceived by the similarity of its name to that of the Minas Furniture Co. Mrs. A visited the fnn-.it'-? department of the Edward C Minas Co., this week and in conversation, with the department manager stated that through these articles she had learned for the first time that there was no connection between the two stores. This lady has been a resident of Hammond for a number of years but for some reason it had never been brought to her attention before that the stores were two separate institutions. "I have traded at both places for years," she said "and thought I was dealing with the Edward C. Minas Co., all of the time."
