Few things broaden men more rap
idly than contact with their fellows.
If the contact be forced by the ex-
igencies Of business, social or indus
trial life the development is likely to
BIO along the line which compels the
association. Men OF the professions
hold their meetings that they may
touch each other in points that are
common to both. Mind meets mind
and knowledge passes from one to the
other, experience lends It's results TO
those who have not tried certain meth
DDS and the successful stir the indff-
ferent to more action. These are only
the more plainly manifest results OF
the meeting or men of sympathetic
callings. but they illustrate also the
value of special contact for and wom-

ings. the exchange of thoughts upon
topics Of interest. the discussion OF

supply knowledge TO those who are
willing to receive information. Young
men should form the habit OF occa-
sionally rubbing elbows with older
men as well in their own calIings as IN
the general walks of life. They will

"SaIOOB" is the Answer.
With a very few exceptions the resi-
dences are little FIVE or six room cot
tages. Some OF them are squalid
places where there do not seem to even
be the comforts that the ordinary man
deems essential to an existence. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
most prosperous places in the city are
the saloons, and that with the excep
ton Of the department store, all Of
the best business blocks are occupied
by saloons.
The men are gil working. This is
proven by the fact that the streets,
which are practically deserted during
working hours. are crowded with the
employees Of the big car shops soon
after the whistle blows.
But Hegewisch is not without hope.
It's industries. the Western Steel Car
& Foundry company. and the Ryan Car
company are employing hundreds Of
men and are paying rnem good wages.
These men include many who have
come TO the town recently. and the

ventory of the flora of this neglected
town.
The water In the sloughs is so stag
nant that it sours, the stencil Of rot
ting garbage and vegetation is never
out of ones nostrils, the town is a fly

three or four thousand people can live
in a place like Hegewisch and not all
be wiped out by a pestilence discounts
all OF the theories of sanitation that
have ever been promulgated.

FEGEWISH:
By BLINKING STUFFsINS

The name Hegewisch has. ever since
the beginning of the town, stood for all
that a suburb should not be. 1t has
been dragged IN the mire because there
was nothing but mire in the town. The
burg was built on a quagmire.
But in spite OF the fact that the
town has been considered the end Of
the earth, IN Chicago; in spite OF the
fact that its name is inseparable from
the thought OF high sidewalks. duck
ponds, green slime and dirty children.
the town has forged ahead and today
is as prosperous as any city IN the
Calumet region.
New residences are being built, the

the team has played some of the best
semi teams in Chicago.

will be remembered that it was the
Bradley outfit that put such crimp

yesterday and didn't get the twisters
over the pan as did his rival, Dummy
Taylor, who found the pan with up
shoots, downshoots. and about every
other kind of a shoot or curve known
to baseball. and the cubs couldn't con-
meet with them. At the end of the
game Taylor had 6 strikeouts chalked
