FOR AUTOS
Motor Club Will
Ask Permission to Erect
Sign Posts Mayor Con
sents and Board of Pub
lie Works Will Concur.

Hammond is in the Chicago-South
Bend route for auto motorists. and be-
ing one of the many routes that radi-
ate from Chicago, the Chicago Motor
club is undertaking the desirable work
of routing" the various highways.
This is being done by erecting few
necessary, but elegant. sign posts at
some of the principal turning points.
and it is highly probable that this
method will receive the approval of the
board of public works.
The Chicago Motor club will ask per-
mission in Hammond to erect a few
sign posts, and Mayor Becker in an
swer to a request. has said that there
would be no objection to sign posts,
provided they were no discredit to the
city and placed In manner SO as not
to interfere with prior rights on the
streets Only a few are needed in
Hammond, the principal corners for the
motorists being at the White House at
Forsythe, the corners OF Sheffield av-
enue and Gostlin street and Gostlin
street and Holman street, and Holman
and Fayette streets. The signs them
selves are as neat as they can be made
to be practical, and their erection
through Hammond viii put this city
permanently on the motorists map.

Manager Emery Makes $1.25
Out of the Production
Last Night.
IS REALLY MERITORIOUS PLAY
Too Much Notoriety for Book Re-
sponsible for Local Turn
Down.

IF Elenor Glynn only knew what a
cool reception Hammond gave to Three
Weeks" last night she would probably
have some naughty things to say about
this well meaning town, which was
apparently not interested in the dra-
matization OF highly sensational nov
ell.
There were just sixty-f1ve people on
the main floor, ten in the first two rows
in the balcony and thirty-seven in the
rest of the balcony. In fact, Man
ager Roy C. Emery said that after he
had paid the orchestra out of his share
OF the proceeds he had just $1.25 left.
And the funny thing about the play
is the fact that 1t is really meritorious
production. Jeanne fowler, who play
ed the part OF the queen is said to be
a really great actress. who viii be
heard from in the future and the per-
son who played the part of the king
was also good.
But the people of Hammond had
heard too much about the book, Three
Weeks" to be seen going to the show
here. If il appears in Chicago they
may take a secret trip to the city to
see it. but there was nothing doing
here.

is Unprecedented
IN JOURNALISM
Tremendous Pressure in
Ads Necessitates 16-Page
Issue of The Times.
THE FIRST IN n. ". INDIANA
Immense Field Covered By This
Newspaper Accountable for
Demand for Space.

For the first time in the history of
western University medical schol of
and more particularly in the Calumet
district was it absolutely necessary for
a daily paper. through the pressure of
ordinary everyday business to get out
a sixteen page paper.
Last night THE TIMES carried more
commercial advertising than ever in
its history before. In figures THE
TIMES had 1928 inches of advertising.
This is more than twice as much as
any other paper in the region carries
and is the best Of proof that the busi-
ness men of the region have faith IN
the pulling" power Of a TIMES ad.
1t is a weekly custom for THE TIMES
to print four-page supplement. MAX
ing a twelve-page paper on Fridays
but yesterday the demand for space
was so great that it was actually ne
cessary to get out two ordinary pa
pers to accommodate the advertising.
Growth Is Rapid.
At this rate it is believed that II
will not be long before it will be ne.
cessary to issue a twelve-page paper
daily and sixteen-page paper on day:
when the advertising comes in ths
heaviest
The phenominal growth of patronag,
of The TINES advertising columns i.
is one of the gratifying things abou
the growth of the paper. For thre,
long years and more the management
of THE TIMES has tried to give tn,
cities of the region a metropolitan pa
per that would be a source of pride t,
its citizens and a power for good ii
the upbuilding of the community
Now it is certain that the business
men are recognizing this fact and the,
are backing up the policy of THE TINE
by their liberal patronage They ar
convinced that THE TINES reache
three times as many people in Ham
mond as any Hammond paper, as man,
people in Whiting as any Whiting pa
per. IS many people in East Chicago a.
any East Chicago paper and as man,
people in Gary as any Gary paper. Tha
is why THE TIMES is positively su
preme as an advertising medium ant
why the business men are recognizing
the fact.

Crown Point. Ind. oct. s.-The blow

Every blind pig proprietors and dive

Sixty-six indictments, according to

the past several days in Crown Point,
represents the grist turend out by that
body.
AIMED AT GARY!
There is well-def1ned rumor that
the bulk of the true bills is aimed at
the Gary lawbreakers. However. Low

mysteriously alluded to north county
cities" are also represented in the big
batch of true bills which have enanat-

GLAD OVER ACTION.
There is a feeling of intense satisfac-
tion among the aw-abiding element
throughout Lake county over the out
look They regard the supposed action
as indicative that men who conduct
Illicit business, and who openly dis
regard the law are at least to be driven
to a healthy fear If they have no rev.
erence and respect for the statutes and
ordinances.
Sentiment has been unusually strong
of late against the element which
snaps its fingers in the face of law
and order, especially so, since the con
ditions in Gary become known. The
latter situation is thought in fact to
