So says John f'rins:e, rf))'rijiative of the American Radiator Com-r-any whose territory comprises the ftel heit from Joliet to Michigan

John is a -booster and a n-e And everything he has to

Hammond especially, is compliment ary. Two months ago T was inclined to think that 1S23 would be a poorer business year than 1923 hut I am l. winning to believe that the compi year will be the greatest this district has ever known, especially f.r Itcgewisch. West Hammond and .;nry." he said -by way of introd-JO-tion. "Why do you know what I wr.'i d do if I owned the Central

School property? I'd build an eisnt or nine story store and office build-in-on every foot of it one big bi lbiing. To my mind it isn't possi) i for Hammond to overbuild In it? .s'ness district. Tiilie Joliet. It has blocks and l',,c!;s of business houses and many bic buildings, too. and it Is not ov. or-bJilt while Hammond's business cii.tnot is smallcd than Muncle. Iac:tc or any of the Indiana cities .- .-.'(.nop and 40 000. Take Broad-v.-'v. Gary. It is built up with J.uciness houses from Fifth avenue to Twenty-fifth and still building. There is more business transacter in one hour in Hammond than th-o is in a week in any other city f 4 0.000 population that I have ever -fti in and it has a trading population to draw from equal to that of resMoines. Ia., or Toledo. O. HAMMOVD A nOSEBl'D Hammond is a. rosebud that has Jut felt the first warm sun of prosperity and is unfolding to the world. It rHesn't do any harm to sprinkle a little water aro-und the vr.otE. however. vid what the fellows in Hammond need to do is to pet out the old sprinkling cans and 3ieln "r bloom. "Now I'm not trying to sell radif tors by boosting the town because have all I can do to get enough to supply the demand this year, esperiaiy in this region. The only thing that will check tujlding In Hammond. West Hammond and Gary in 1 023 will be shortage of mater

ials nnd labor. Everybody will

bjild who can build. The tiling I

am advocating is that Hammond

fc-Jild for ths future. That means with a crowded business district that you've g-ot to go up in the air i and forget about these two story tuiUTings. I am glad to hear that te First National bank is going to T'.it up an eight story (tank and ofJ.cc building on Hohman street. Rut that is not all that is neces-

fa'y. If everybody builds stores, apartments and homes there is still something lacking. There is still something that must be done to put Hammond on top of. the heap. I don't know a better name for It than co-operation and I don't know of a better forr. of government than up-to-date, representative Chamber of 'ommerce. 'Every fe-llow's enthusiasm Ideas money and energy counts for something when it is fused into a Chamber of Commerce with a red-blooded, progressive manager or secretary. Tom. Dick and Harry can go tip and down the street, or up and down the land for that matter, telling what a great town Hammond is and what a whale of a future it has but it is all cow belis unless Torn. Dick and. Harry got together nnd do things to make it a great t.'vn and prepare It for a big fu

ture. "Eleven men don't make a footba'l team, but eleven men with a capable coach, a captain, signals and co-operation will make a football team and if they play ihard enough tiiey will win." . .

Ir was pointed out that German industralists are mot anxious to remove the menace of further t.er--Itcrtal occupations by French troops. They believe that a paet guaranteeing the borders would remove French fears of an attack (by Germany) on her northern boundary.

Explosion

have been a baby bomb in the rear of the Dodgers' club rooms at 4720 Olcott avenue. East Chicago, shortly after 8:30 o'clock last night, threw members of the club into a panic and caused an unusual amount of excitement along the business section of this street. P'.anted between the Dodgers' ci'J and an ad-polning pool room, the explosive failed to take the desired effect. Outside of ripping a small hole in the weather boarding and tearing away and shattering some of the concrete foundation, the damage loss to the Dodger's club by the 'dynamite explosion, was slight. Old members of the club that have been expelled from the organization, are belived to be responsible for this vicious attack in order to satisfy their revengeful motives. This srrudgc between the dismossed

members an, organization is said to have been brewing for sometime, and as charged, culminated in the bombing of the club rooms. At the timo of thfl explosion five men were in the club rooms. They were: VT. J. Keenan, J. C. Duffy. U R. Lantz and Eddie Svec. All

five men told tne ponce mai mo had not seen anyone about the club who they might have suspected of attempting to wreck the building. Police Officers Welfenbach, Trtanj and Callahan, who answered the call, found one line of the unburned fuse strung along between the two buildings. Foot prints leading from the alley to where- the explosive was planted could be distinguished by the police. No other available clews have been picked up by the police here. Paul Algozzina, who occupies the upper flat above the Ledgers' club, told the police that he had ' no known enemies who would have attempted his life in this manner. Police are centering their inves

foreign office today. This was the proposal which was said to have been put up to President Harding by Germany in an effort to attempt to have the United States mediate the disputed points existing between Germany and France. "Many indefinite. veneral proposals have been discussed in recent weeks and it Is possible that this was among them," it was stated at the foreign office. "But at Lhe present time France is interested in only one vital questionreparations." French officials believe that Premier Poineare will not consider any international agreement of any, kind until the indemnify trouble is settled.

(BT LUTHTJR A. HTJSTON) STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE) LONDON. Dec. 28 Black clouds of war asaln lomed ominously over the Near East today. The menace comes from the threatened collapse of the Near East peace conference at Lausanne. The British and the Turks are deadlocked over certain IssTies and neither eide will give ground. Im hostilities break out they will probably be confined to Turkish and British forces.

All available British warships in the Mediterranean, of all descriptions, have been ordered to proceed at once to the Dardanelles, said a des-patch from Malta, Chief British naval depot in the Mediterranean.

Great Britain is massing- one of,

the strongest fleets in the Turkish

straits ever known in Turkish waters since the Gallipoli campaign in the great war. ' From a military viewpoint the British hold position of hlsrh strategic Importance. They command the Dardanelles, Bosphorous and sea of Marmora with- their warships, cutting oft Asia Minor from Europe and controlling Constantinople. They could control all the Mediterranean and Aegean Coast. The chief ear, however. Is that Russia will join with Turkey. NEW ASCENT IN PAY OF UNSKILLED LABOR
