There was no great damage done to

of them in the Calumet river bagin

injured the most severely. The grains

WILL GIVE PICNIC

The entertainment committee of the
Gary Young Mems Republican club will
hold picnic at the Lake Front park.
Hammond, on Saturday, Sept IL, and
it is expected that there will be a
great time in store for those who at
tend.
One of the features of the picnic will
be ball game between the young re-
publicans and the old republicans. An
other interesting feature worth seeing
will be tug-of-war between the mem
bers of this club in the water in Lake
Michigan.
There will be several speakers pre-
sent, who will make rafting good sam
paign talks, and it is expected that
the day will be very enjoyably spent.

DR.. COOK

New York, Sept. S.-The expected ar
rival of DR.. Frederick A. Cook at CO.
penhagen from the epochmaking trip
to the north pole, which probably will
be chronicled tomorrow, is the most
important news item on the horizon 1t
is confidently expected by his friends
and supported that he will then pro-
duce incontrovertible proofs that he
reached the north pole, thus allaying
the wave Of skepticism which has been
manifested in the opinions of many of
his fellow scientists, both here and
abroad.
CorrobOrated by Danish OnciaI.
That DR.. Cook will be able to fully
substantiate his claims is indicated by
a brief official statement from DR.

partment, that the reported discovery
of the north pole has been corroborated

crown from the royal head and the
heads from patriotism shoulders. "Re-
member Calas'' was a battle cry OF
the blood-thirsty hordes as the tum-
Drills passed through the streets OF
Paris, bearing human tribute to the
national razor, which shaved so pain
fully close.
Calais was a protestant at a time
when the public profession of that
creed was decidedly unhealthy In
France His oldest son, a devotee of
the dominant faith, wearied of the
world and hied himself hence by the
suicide route. Enemies of Jean Ca
las, actuated by the piety of that
time, which considered infidel blood as
of a pleasing SAVIOR to the God of the
Universe, accused Jean Calais of the
murder of his son.
Perjuring themselves for the glory
of God, numerous witnesses came for
ward to testify against Calais, and the
parliament of Toulouse condemned
him to a merciful death without the
shedding of blood" In carry out this
sentence, Calais was tortured in score
of ingenious ways and then broken on
the wheel. He died and his property
was confiscated and his family render
ed homeless outcasts.
In their dire need, the survivors of
the Calais family, failing of justice in
the quarters where justice was sup
posed to abide, appealed to the pow
erful but infidel Voltaire. The great
Frenchman raised his voice in protest,
in. in the dramatic words of Victor
Hugo, "arraigned the judge before
Justice and the priest before God"
When Voltaire spoke, thrones tottered,
and sleeping Justice awoke. Voltaire
speedily procured a revision of the
trial, when CALAIS was declared limo
cent, and his widow given a liberal
pension.

One has all ones life to be grown
up in, and only 20 or 25 or 80 years
that all depends on the point of view
to be young in.
Why then, should anyone want to
limit this all too short a period to
Is or 16, or even IA years?
And yet unless she has a mother
with a great deal of common sense
and very firm hand, the average girl
by adopting the clothes and airs and
habits of a woman does try to shorten
that period as much as she possibly
can.
She can't help wanting to. We all
did when we were sweet sixteen.
But we all regretted it sooner or
later and it's the part of mothers, who
have learned the grim lesson that one
has plenty of time to be old in, to i'm
press that lesson on their daughters
and not yield weakly to reiterated
pleadings for real long dresses and
high heeled shoes like the girl across
the street has" -
They should point out the inevitable
truth that the girl who at Is tries to
appear 20 is the girl who at 80 will be
trying equally hard not to look over %
And if that has no effect-as it
probably Wont-they may use the more
telling argument that youngness, even
ultra youngness, is distinctly smart
just now.

EVENING CHIT=CHAT
BY Ruth Cameron

When I see a girl of IA or Is or II
with skirts still several inches above
childish shoes, and her hair braided
or simply tied back, I know she is
from the nicer part of the city
When I see pert little miss of the
same age with high plugged hair, high
heeled shoes, and long skirts, put her
down as more or less shoddy.
1t is wonder to me that young girls
who are quick to notice little details in
style do not notice this tendency
To dress girlishly, even childishly,
would be such a simple way to claim
kinship with the 400 that I wonder
more girls do not try it,
1t is always the flower a bit down
the path that seems fairer and more
worth plucking than the one at our
feet.
And I suppose it is that inevitable
instinct of human nature that makes
the girl cOVet the flower of woman
hood while she holds the equally ex-
quisite bloom of girlhood in her grasp.
We who have seen them both can
tell her that each is fairest in it's time
and either pIucked ont Of Season 1ocoC

We can tell her to be sure but can
