AT last it has dawned upon the people
of northwestern Ohio that their supply
Of natural gas is almost exhausted. 81
confident have they been in its perma-
ueance that the nature OF the discovery IS
almost startling. Today not moro than
one-tenth Of the manufactures in north
western Ohio are supplied with natural
gas. At the same time the supply for
private consumption has been 50 de
creased that many family has tossed
the gasburner into the back yard and
returned to hickory aud coal. Many
others kept constant supplies Of coal on
hand ready for emergency at any time
Coal IS also burued with the gas when
it is low ly Il majority OF consumers.
Since gas was first used for fuel here
the pressure has decreased over SO

~Hency W. by a Deaf aiid Dumb Company.
A highly interesting performance Of
Shakespeare Henry V" has been given
by forty-one inmates Of the Asylum for
the Deas and Dumb. Tue children are
trained and educated at Margate, but
the play was produced at the Old Kent
Road branch Of the institution. With
two exceptions, all the members Of the
little company have never heard the
sound Of the human voice, and it was
remarkable that the best articulation
and the nearest approach TO modulation
If tone was obtained by two lads who
in the common sense Of the term, have
been dumb" since birth.
Thanks, however, to the oral system
they are dumb no longer, and it was
astonishing TO realize that Prince Henry
and Falstaff were themselves deaf to the
sound Of the words which Dr. Elliott,
their headmaster, had taught them TO
speak with appropriate emphasis and
gesture. The part Of Henry " was i'm
psrsonated very intelligently and the
girl who played the first pilgrim lady is
evidently gifted with llistriouic ability.
Queen Joan was also admirably pre-
sented by Rebecca Sonnenberg, whose
rhymed recitation at the close of the play
was we'll received. Pail Mall Gazette.

An Occasion of Great Enjoyment for the Five
Thousand Present. i

The old settlers of Marion and Hendricks
counties held their ninth annual reunion
yesterday, at Carriers grove, about one
mile from Mitchell, Marion county. and on
the line between the two counties repre-
sented. The meeting was presided over by
William Long. and the attendance was
much larger than was expected. aggregating
about five thousand. There were over two
Thousand coDveyances. and many came by
railroad. The principal address was made
by Rev. d. r. Lucas. of Indianapolis and
several of the old settlers made brief but
interesting speeches. A number of old
time relics were exhibited by Mr.. McCor-
mack, among which were deer-antlers and
the stuffed skin of rattlesnake five feet
long. killed many years ago In
that neck of woods. but from which
both deer and rattlers have long since dis
appeared. The RATHER encouraged num-
Der of old settlers to indulge In serpentlne
narrative, the palm being awarded to John
Barnhill, of Crawfordsville. who belonged
to family that first settled. in 1920. on
Fall creek, Marion county. and afterward
removed to Eagle creek. where the old
family residence still stands.
Mr.. Mccormack Is the son OF William
Mccormack. who settled where Indianap-
oils now stands. in February. 1920, and was
the first settler of the county. The son
was one year old at that time.
letter was read from Richard Corbaley,
now In the State of Washington, who was
the first white child born in Marion coun-
ty. having been born in August, 1920.
The picnic was in every way a complete
success. There was no lack of provisions
for all who came. gold-headed cane was
presented to Mr.. Nelson, ninety-two years
DID, as the oldest man ON the grounds.

Men-A Meeting Yesterday.

Yesterday the owners and directors of
the Indianapolis Car Manufacturing Com
pany held meeting at the Bates House.
Those present were Z. Pollock and Archer
Brown, of Cincinnati; Major Collins, Of
Brazil, and j. c. Fortiner, of Chicago.
Last evening Major Collins said to Jour-
nal reporter that the car works would be
started probably by Oct. /, withouts single
dollar being contributed by the citizens of
Indianapolis.
How many men will you employp
''At least four hundred men, and if the
business will Justify, SIX hundred men,"
Messrs Collins. Pollock. Brown and Gen.
erai Manager Fortiner were together the
greater part of yesterday planning to start
the works, which will be started under
much more favorable circumstances than
when they were first put into operation.
Most of the machinery, Mr.. Fortiner
says, is In good condition. About fifty men
are now at work repairing cars. and they
will be the nucleus of the force which will
