URGES CREDIT MEN TO ELIMINATE WASTE

"The credit men of this country J have been charged for 1016 with a !

waste of $130,000,000." declared Gilbert F. Wagner, of the Chicago Association o? Credit men, who was the principal speaker at the regular monthly dinner of the .outh Rend Association of Credit Men, held last evening in the pink room of the Oliver hotel. The speaker's subject was "The Credit Man and the War," and he showed the importance of conservation, in business as in other things, to help us win the war. That this waste could have been in a larüe measure prevented, and that it is made up by higher prices and scarcity of the product which the public must bear, was brought out by Mr. Wagner. That this could be and should be eliminated by the credit men of the country was the speaker's main oint. "Efficiency of manufacturing in England is GO per cent greater today than before the war." he declared. "That is the result of meeting conditions. We are about to meet those same conditions here, and our efficiency must increase, or our business efforts will be failure." The speaker closed with an appeal to the credit men present to feel the responsibility they were bearing and to remember that by eliminating waste in business they could be "doing their bit" at home. Dr. James E. Gardiner, of St. Paul's church, gave a hrief talk, and A. M. Mecklenburg of Mishawaka spoke on "The National bankruptcy Law." Arrangements were made to send a delegation to the national convention which is to be held in Kansas City in June. About were present at the meeting.

IZls.e Pontiu?, alo of Vernon Heights, waiting for a street car when an auto, containr inq two men, who gave their names as Iteed Uostwick and Lynn Jones, drove up.

TO DEDICATE INTERLUDE TO BOTH CANDIDATES

That the final number of this year's "Inter; jde"' will be dedicated jointly to Miss Louise Studebaker, class sponsor, and I'rin. J. S. MrCowan was definitely deriJed by the senior class at a meeting held yesterday afternoon at the high school. This action brings to an end a hot Müht which has been waged for some time between two factions of the class. The class is still divided, however, this time on the question of the disposal of the class memorial fund. It is said that Prin. McCowan is behind a movement to have the class contribute its fund to some war charity, preferably the American Med Cross. Many of the class are in favor helping1 out some war measure with the money, but are not willing that the lied Cross should receive it. The argument waxed so hot that the class president temporarily retired from the chair so that he might join in it. Cnable to reach a settlement, the class brought the argument to a temporary close by adjourning to a later date.

It is said that the Polish element wanted a union of its own. with a meeting place closer to their homes than is the present meeting place and that this is responsible for the new organization. The meeting was addressed by TZ. II. Metz. J. Ramsey and Pres't Charles Miller of the Central Tibor union. Officers for the new organization will be elected at a meeting to be held next Tuesday in Central Labor hall. The meeting is to be preceded by a mass meeting, to enable those non-union carpenters who care to do so to join before the officers are elected.
