WILL TEACH SEWING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Committee Appointed by
McDaniels Preparing
Courses for Girls.
PLAN ALREADY BEEN TRIED
Worked With Good Results in Irving
School-May Sew Useful
Garments.

A committee appointed by G. NJ. Nc
Daniel, superintendent of the Ham
mond schools is working in conjunction
with him in preparing a course of
study for sewing classes in each school.
Sewing has already been introduced in
the Irving school and has been found
to be a success there, and encouraged
by the results. the course will be car
rfed into all of the schools with the
intention of beginning the regular
course after the holidays.
The course that is under preparation
now is complete, teaching the pupils
the simplest stitch in burlap up to the
completion of useful garments. 1t is
figured that the course will be com
pleted al the end of the seventh year
Sewing in the Hammond schools ac-
cording to the plans of Superintendent
Mcdaniel should take the same place
and time for the girls that manual
training does for the boys and is a
satisfactory equivalent and pleasant
deviation at regular periods in the
week, from the grinding routine work.
Manual training work in the form of
bent iron work has been introduced
in all the schools and in a limited
number bench work has already been
introduced with satisfactory results
1t is the hope of superintendent Nc
Daniels to have bench work in all
the schools by the end of the year.
The sewing work is not confined 10
the girls alone however, privilege be-
ing given to the boys in the school to
take it up in case they so desire

LAST MONTH RECORD
BREAKER FOR COMPANY
American Car and Foundry
Co. Reaches a New Mark
in It's History.
WILL BUILD NEAR GARY
Report Shows That 10,780 Cars
Were Built and 262 Repaired
During the Month.

Gary. Ind, Nov. 15.-The American
Car & Foundry company which has
secured a site in this vicinity for the
establishment Of a plant. has just is
sued its October report, which is a
record breaker in several points.
During October the American Car &
Foundry company built 1o.7S0 cars and
repaired 626 cars. 1t shipped more
than 1900 new cars. 1t was the
company's banner month for car build
ing, and it is probable that the earn
ings also Will be found to be the
largest for any month in the company's
history.
During the quarter ended October
81, the company built and shipped
more cars than for any previous quar-
ter, and 1t is probable that the earn
ings Will show an increase over those
for the preceding quarter. in which
the earnings reached their highest
point up to that time.
From now until the first of the year
the company Will make heavy ship
ments, having a large number of orders
on hand. Practically no orders are
being received. and should the situa
tion show no marked Improvement II
will be found necessary to lay off men
after the first of the year. 1t is not
believed, however. that it will be ne
cessary to close any of the company
plants, as orders for car repairs are al
ready large, and are expected to be-
come larger in the next few months
The railroads. being in need Of equip
ment, and not being in a position tC
finance purchases of new cars, ar'
keeping all their old cars in as goot
condition as possible. The repair shops
of the railroads are filled with work
consequently much of it goes to tn,

GARY FORGETS
HOW MONEY LOOKS
Merchants So Accustomed

Thing Goes.
LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM BABY
Two Coarse Swindlers Put it Over

Stage Money.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Gary, Ind, Nov. 15.-ReaI money is
so scarce in this town since the f1nan-
cial clouds appeared on the horizon,
that the store-keepers do not seem to
be able to recognize it when they see it.
With cashiers checks and certificates of
different kinds appearing before them
in lieu of the green goods, they have
become SO confused 1T seems that any
kind of old currency gets by them.
Some say that it is the sand blowing
in their eyes that caused the trouble.
Yesterday two of the worst speci-
mems Of counterfeits. in fact they were
50 crude that they could not be called
by so dignified a term. were exchanged
for good money. Joseph Leiboldt,
bartender in the Binzenhof was the
easiest kind of a mark for a smooth
stranger yesterday afternoon. In fact
he was so easy that his employer could
only laugh, although he was the loser
by the deal The stranger came into the
saloon and after buying cigar tender
ed what Leiboldt thought to be S20
bin. He cashed it and handed out
1890. The stranger scouped it up and
departed Later Leiboldt discovered
that the $40 bill was nothing but a
lithogEaph advertising St. Joseph, stat
ing that the check entitled the bearer
to twenty days fun at the watering
place, and drawn upon the sand bank
near the harbor entrance. 1t did not
even have the appearance of the real
money.
Frank Warren. a grocer who former
| ly conducted a business in Hammond,
accepted what purported to be a $40
bill in payment for a few groceries and
made the change. The bill had been
manufactured out of a piece of COM
mon paper, with a real note treated
with chemicals so that the dye had
printed on the paper. It was rank
forgery and one that could be de-
tected for a black. but it went with
Mr.. Warren. The police are now look
ing for the gang that is passing the
worthless goods.

OPINION REQUESTED BY
STATE LABOR COMMISSION
In Response To Inquiries From Wash
ington-Bingham Construes Law
Prohibiting Contracts With For
eign Workmen, as Applying Only
to Such as Are Not Admitted.

indianapolis, Nov. 15-By a decision
just rendered by Attorney General
Bingham, the bars keeping foreigners
out of Indiana, are let down and it is
expected that as a result hundreds of
aliens-if not thousands-will be flock
ing this way shortly.
The decision was given upon request
by Charles f. Woerner and George w.
Purcell, state labor commissioners. who
had been asked by the officials of the
bureau of immigration, at Washington,
whether state laws existed here TO bar
foreigners by preventing manufacturers
and other employers of foreign labor
from making contracts to pay trans
portation expenses. etc.
The Washington officials explained
that in distributing aliens admitted to
the United States, they had steered
clear of Indiana inasmuch as they un-
derstood state legislation declared void
contracts that might be made between
employers of foreign labor and the
laborers themselves. If such legislation
did exist. it was pointed out, the bureau
could not send foreigners here as the
officials in making their distribution
had 10 be sure that the immigrants
sent by them would be received. given
work and almost allowed to remain.
This could be guaranteed only by con
tracts between employers of labor and
officials of the bureau.
Bfngham's Interpretation of Law.
Attorney General Bigham found
state law prohibiting the making Of
contracts in advance with foreigners,
but his Interpretation of the statute is
that foreigners already admitted to the
United States are not included in the
term foreigners" as written in the
law His idea is that the term applies
to aliens living outside of the country
In other words. he says foreigners may
be imported into Indiana from other
states. but that they must not be i'm
ported directly from other countries
that employers of foreign labor may
enter into contract TO pay transporta-
ton and guarantee employment before
the aliens reach Indiana, but not before
they reach the United States.
It is thought by state officials that
the bureau of immigration will start
a strean, of foreigners this way as soon
as they hear officially from the at
torney general

FROST NEVER TOUCHED US.

Let Us Join in Jubilee.
Let us Shake Hands With Our
selves!
The Thrall of Frost is Not for Us.
Fruit growers far and near have
lost part or all of the seasons crop,
but Wenatchee valley has escaped
unscathed. The small measure Of
alarm which was experienced Sunday
morning has been dispelled. A close
examination has shown that no dam
age was sustained.
WENATCHEE VALLEY RETAINS
IT'S REPUTATION AS A FROST
PROOF COUNTRY.
The misfortune of thousands OF
fruit growers throughout the country
means our gain. In the middle west
ern states the crop is almost total
ly destroyed; in the northwest it has
suffered more or less in all the fruit
growing districts. An estimate of one
million dollars has been placed on
the damage done by Saturday nights
frost in the state of Washington
alone. With this immense shortage
of the coming crop PRICES WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY SOAR and Wenat-
chez valley growers will score again.
The fatality to outside fruit has al
ready put buyers on the qui vive, and
man is here now WHO CAME ALL
THE WAY FROM NEW YORK
CITY to make contracts for the sea-
sons crop. The general failure of
the eastern crop will mean that We
natchee fruit will find a ready mar
ket at top prices in the cities of the
east, and that MORE DOLLARS
WILL COME IN TO THE GROW
ERS OF THIS VALLEY.
The weather now seems settled.
The Infallible Oldest Inhabitants
Say $3.50 it must be so. If this
then be so, we may safely ENUMER-
ATE OUR UNINCUBATED CHICKS
and look forward to the Most Sue
cesful Season the Valley has Ever
known. There are to be More Trees
in Bearing this year than in any pre-
vious season, and with High Prices
every grower in the community
should come out away ahead.
Verify, 1t is a Time for Rejoics
ing
Wenatchee has been Spared Wis
itation of the Dread Enemy Jack
Frost, and should BE THANKFUL.
Every Resident of the Valley,
whether he owns trees or not, is Wit
ally Interested in the Fruit Crop.
None Of us would be here were it
not for the Things that Grow on
Trees.
