Postofice Overhauling Pres
cnt System With View
of Betterment.
CALUMET TO IMPROVE
Department Desires New Legislation
From Congress to Govern Con-
duct of This Branch.

The postoffice department is slowly
overhauling the entire rural delivery
system. The Calumet region will bene
fit its share in the changes that are to be
made. inspectors are now gathering In
formation on which to base these
change with view of bringing the ser
vice up to higher standard of efficiency.
Unnecessary Implications of service on
roads traversed by star route carriers
are to be eliminated and a special eff
fort is to be made to ascertain the
cause of the lack of patronage on many
routes.
The department desires the following
rural route Legislation from congress
at this session;
l. An act requiring the following
conditions precedent to the establish
ment of rural delivery service. (a)
That there shall be a possible patron
age of 100 families on each standard
route of twenty four miles or a pro-
portionate number of families on
shorter routes; OBJ that roads must be
IN good condition. unobstructed by
gates, with all streams bridged or
fordable at all ordinary seasons of the
year; (c) that in completing service in a
county the average patronage per route
may be not less than ninety families;
and (d) that service on rural routes
be limited to-not exceeding one collec-
tion daily. to be made at the same time
?. That the maximum salary of ru-
raj carriers be increased so that they
may be paid not exceeding 5000 per an
mum.
3. That rural carriers be given credit
for experience on taking the civil ser
vice examination for appointment as
clerks in postoffice or carriers in the
city delivery service.
4. That congress fix a rate of 5
cents per pound or any fractional part
thereof on the books and merchandise
not exceeding FIVE pounds weight
mailed to the distributing postoffice
of any rural delivery route for deliv-
cry to a patron of said route or mailed
by patron of any rural delivery route
for delivery to a patron thereon or al
the distributing postoffice of said route
The adoption Of this recommendation
should carry with 1T a repeal of the
provision law which permits rural
or its modification so as to apply only
to merchandise which is unmailable un-
der existing laws.

MEETS DEATH
IN ICY WATER
Vincent Thomas, Who For

browns.
ACCIDENT At 67TH ST.
Little Chap Whose Mother Is III
Wanders Off With Older Com
panions to "Skate."

Enjoying the freedom that was fore
ness, Vincent Thomas, the four-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Thomas
of 6744 Calumet avenue, Chicago for
merly of Whiting, left his home last
Saturday afternoon in company with
larger boys who went to a pond near
67th street to skate. After being on
the pond for some time he was found
under the ice by his older companions.
With the help of James Sweenie, one
of the boys on the ice, he was taken
from the water, still alive, but so weak
that he could not live. although all
known resuscitation methods were ap-
piled He died soon after.
Mother Sick in Bed.
Mrs. Thomas was sick in bed with
the mumps and was unable to keep the
little fellow under close surveillance
and did not know of his absence until
he was brought home. a corpse. The
shock completely prostrated the al
ready sick woman. The little ones
friends who had taken him to his death
visited the house IN procession that
slowly came from the pond, and tried
to assure the bereaved parents of their
sorrow and sympathy.
They said he seemed to be enjoying
himself alone and that for some time
nobody paid much attention to him and
ii was just by accident that one of the
larger boys discovered the hole in the
ice and made an investigation The
little form of Vincent was seen through
the cloudy water and after consider
able work was brought out.
AS the Thomas are well-known IL
Whiting and RobertsdaIe, still having
relatives there. the remains were sen
to his aunt, Mrs. Golding. in Harrison
avenue, from whose residence the fun
eral will be held.

Unreasonable Weather Is
Charged With Malady and
and It's Many Aliases.
THERE MAY Be A BREAK
Changing Conditions Promise An
other Excuse For Sore Throats
and Congested Chests.

The current salutation on the streets
is Isn't this remarkable weather for
this time of the year?" or .How's your
grip?"
Remarkable weather and grip seem
to go hand in hand.
The grip. or some other aiiment
which on a loose diagnosis is called
grip we have with US always to a
greater or less extent. This is the sea-
son for grip and any physical discom-
fort from a rebellious liver to an ul-
cerated tooth can be called grip with
out fear OF contradiction unless the
malady reaches serious stage.
Grip has a lot to answer for IN its
own right in Hammond and vicinity
and lot for which an alibi could be
proved.
The unnatural state of wealth
er which has prevailed since
winter officially began is, OF
course, blamed for these "indisposI-
tions" that are recorded daily. OF
course II there were more frost and
more snow there would be less sick
ness.
1
ence of frost and snew In an abundance
would be cited as the cause with as
much cheerfulness
II the ancient say "A green Christ
mas makes fat churchyard" holds
good. this fiscal year should be a good
one for undertakers, for this region has
not only had green Christmas. but
a green New Years. The entire month
of December was literally splashed
with green and the color scheme OF
January as far as it has gone. has
been of deeper vernal tint.
Thunder and Lightning Comes.
The people had the unusual expert
ence of seeing flashes of lightning and
hearing the roll of thunder on this
seventh day of January and then the
wind changed to the north and when
the cold blasts rushed over the city.
the fog blew in so thick and heavy that
1t was almost Impossible TO see more
than a few feet ahead. Later the sun
shone brightly and according to the
weather indications. it is to be clear
and cold tonight.
1t is these weather conditions which
are causing the increased amount of
sickness in Hammond and is keeping
the doctors so busy. One of the all
ments that seems TO be peculiar to the
conditions, that have prevailed dur
ing the past few weeks. is what
doctors call a muscular sore throat. 1t
, is said there are dozens of cases and
the doctors ascribe 1t to the humidity
in the atmosphere and the lack of sum
shine.
If the prophecies of the recently un-
reliable weather man may be believed,
the weather from now on will be very
cold and with the freezing Of the
ground will come drier atmosphere
that will make healthier conditions
possible.

STANDARD STEEL CAR co.
TO BE LARGEST OF ALL.
Output Last Year Was 24,OOO Cars,
But New Plant VIII Make $4,000
Making Total Output of Concern co.
600 Cars.

A great many Hammond people have
been wondering how the Standard
Steel Car company compares with the
other large steel car manufacturers
over the country. The following shows
the output OF the principal plants for
the year 1906. 1t Will be seen that
while the Pressed Steel Car company
manufactured $4,000 cars TO $4,000
turned out by the Standard Steel Car
company. the standing of the two con-
Germs Will be reversed when the local
plant is running full capacity and
builds an additional $4,000 cars year
making a total annual output of co.
600 cars
1t is estimated that in 1906 about
10000 all steel standard gauge freight
cars were built in the United States
by the various companies.
The distribution was as follows:
Pressed Steel Car company, $4,000:
Standard Steel Car. "a. 900; American
Car and Foundry. 10000: Cambria
Steel, 5000; other makers. 1000 The
production of 10000 steel cars involves
the consumption of 100000 tons Of
steel plates and large tonnage of struc-
turaI shapes which some OF the COM
panIes use. The steel car makers. ex-
pect a full run in 1907, although the
outlook is not quite so good as it was
a year ago. The year 1906 was en-
tered with the larger makers filled up.
as they estimated, for almost the entire
year. but they could not get the out
puts expected from their plants, and
some orders which were to have been
filled IN 1906 run over into 1907. A
few large orders were placed last fall
including those of the Pennsylvania
and New York Central 1t is certain
however. that the large car makers
are filled to at least the middle of the
year, with the prospect of additiona
orders that will keep them busy until
