Have You the Grin?

An epidemic of grippe has attacked
the people of Gary, and the most mum
Der of cases has been reported by the
physicians than ever before. This fact
is due to the weather, which has pre-
vailed in Gary for the past week. There
is hardly any one who has been ex-
posed to the rain and slush of the
sidewalks who has not been effected
by at least cold. The streets have
been in the worst condition, but the
street department haove been doing
all in their power to clean them off and
drain the water

For driving slow.

But all the damsel had to say

A kindly chap

Man Who Is Expected to Help Prove
Claim of New Yorker Speaks
Language Of Arctic
FIuentIy
rBy Associated Press.l

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 21.-That the
statement of Knud Rasmussen is a
valuable aid to establish proof of his
discovery of the north pole was DR..
Frederick A. Cooks comment here to-
day.
Rasmussen's statement was that DR..
Cooks claim is fully borne out by In
formation which the Danish explorer
secured among the Eskimos.
DR.. sCook read the statement when
he stopped in Toledo between trains
on his way from Ann Arbor to Can
ton.
He said Rasmussen's opinion is val
liable because he is half Eskimo him
self and speaks Eskimo and under
stands the people.
"The statement is from a man who
had no occasion to defend me-" said
DIR. Cook. He is not particularly a
friend and he had no relation to our
expedition.
II first met him at North Star in
1907
He gathered his information from
the Eskimos before he heard from me
that I had discovered the pole.
when 1 saw him at Eggeademind
early in August last for a few min
utes I first told him of the discov-
cry, although he may have heard Of
