OPEN Air
CONCERTS
FOR GARY
Weekly Entertainment Is
Expected to Stimulate the
Trade on Broadway; Bige-
low Band Boys Anxious
to Clear a Debt.

Starting this week the Gary brass
band Will give public entertainments in
front of the Gary hotel, the double OBJ
ject being to stimulate activity on
Broadway and amuse pedestrians. The
concerts viii probably be given once a
week, and they will be under the lead
ership of E. B. Bigelow.
Tie date had not yet been definitely
settled upon. but - IS thought that
Friday night viii be the time most con-
venient for the band boys and that
this will be time when It will be
least apt to conflict with other dates.
The Gary hotel IS centrally located.
and the use of the broad veranda will
elevate them above the crowd and
make It unnecessary to stand in the
street.
Organization Needs Funds.
The reason for giving these band
concerts as much as for anything else
is to secure funds If possible with
which to pay of the obligations con-
tracted when the band was organized
in the purchase of the uniforms. mu-
sic. and other necessities. The leader
and the members Of the organization
will attempt to end the season free of
debt.
Under the efficient leadership and
tireless efforts of Mr. BigeIow. the
band now produces a high class Of
music and IS certainly worth hearing
A large crowd should not only attend
the concert but they should contribute
literally toward the support of the or
ganization, which has worked hard to
give Gary a hrst-class musical organ
ization. which is essential to any metro-
politan city.

LEAGUE LEADERS
CONSIDERING STEP
Circumstances and a Faithful OBJ
servance of the Law, May Induce
Attorneys Matthews and Bruce to
Relcnt, and Thus Relieve Apathy
Which IS apparent Everywhere.

Licensed saloons in Gary, accord
ing to the consensus Of opinion. is the
solution Of the question in Gary of the
great amount of money being taken out
of the city at the present time 1t is
now believed possible that the Anti
Saloon league. represented by Attor-
neys Matthews and Bruce. will be Will
ing to withdraw the remonstrance
which made Gary dry in case they are
shown that conditions warrant this
action
The plan was originally formulated
by Judge p l. Fitzgerald. who has has
several conferences with Attorney Mat
thews on this subject. AS the latter is
of a liberal frame Of mind. Judge Fitz-
gerald believes that the chances are
gcod that Gary will soon have licensed
saloons.
Itemonstrance Can BE knocked Ont.
Attorney Matthews has not only
talked with a number of business men
about the city. who have felt the apathy
in business, but he has been taken
through the great steel mills where
hundreds of workmen claim that they
must have their beer. lie also con-
versed with General superintendent W.
p Gleason and several of his super
intendants.
If the Anti-Saloon league leader de-
/ cides that it is for the best that the
rcmonstrance be killed. 1t is believed
/ that the process will be easy. The at

natures on tho remonstrance were OBJ

About Money.

What do you know about money
anyhow? Never mind about working
off any old Joke about never having
any of 1t long enough to find out any
thing about it, and as for the love OF
1t being the root of all evil. that is
really matter of opinion. OF course
IL you delye into the ,recesses Of the
past you can learn. If you don't al
ready know it, that the first silver
money was coined in the temple Of
Juno Monetass at Rome, hence the
name But just take a look al the
glorious bird Of freedom on the next
silver dollar you happen to get a
chance to look at, and try to think OF
that figure being replaced by a sheep

on their early silver e0ins--the meek.

before the beginning of the Christian
era. the Lydians coined copper and
gold. and old King Argos could think
of nothing more appropriatR than the
figure of turtle to put ON bis
money-to the eagle OF today with its
widespread wings, symbolical OF the
tendency of money to always fiy away
from its possessor. From the turtle
TO the Illuminating sheep and thence
to the soaring eagle Of today may be
said to be typical OF the progress Of
the world In monetary affairs. We
might go on farther and through
mysterious and supposedly missing
links trace the connection from the
mint Of Juno Moneta to the mint beds
of the southern states, but since pro-
hibition has put these latter out OF
business we forbear. But it's funny.
