4 TO 5 MILES OF
GRADING COMPLETED

Contractor w. c. Covington, who has
the contract for the grading for the
interurban line between Crown Point
and Gary has now completed between
four and FIVE miles of the work and
expects to have it entirely completed
before cold weather sets in. Most of
the work has been done on the Crown
Point division, directly north OF the
town where the right OF way leaves
the gravel road and starts through the
farm lands.
1t is the purpose of the Seaman COM
pany to turn over the soil. at least
where no grading IS required. so that
fences along the route can be con-
structed Immediately, and then when
the construction work starts there will
be no interference or trouble with the
farm stock which might be rowing
about the scene Of the activities.
Reviewers which were recently ap-
pointed to view the stretch Of road
between Forty-third street and Hosford
Park where 1t Will connect with a
gravel road direct to Crown Point,
have accomplishe dtheir work and the
commissioners are now ready to MAKE
the appropriation for its construction.
This will give Gary direct paved road
to Crown Point through Hosfard Park
as soon as this connecting link is fin
ished.

MORE LEAVE FOR POSTMEA
PLAN OF DOUBLING ROUTES
MAY BE TRIED.
IF Adopted Will Give Mail Carriers
Thirty Instead Of Fifteen Days
Annual Vacation.

1t was intimated at the Post Office De-
partment yesterday afternoon that an ex-
pertinent would shortly be undertaken in
the local post Office to demonstrate
whether or not by Encouragement OF
the letter carrier routes it would be pos
sible to allow letter carriers thirty In
stead of fifteen days annual leave of abb
Sence. 1t has been ascertained that on
many of the routes in the city as high
as 60 per cent of the people are absent
for weeks and sometimes for months dur
ing the summer time on their summer
vacation, and that such routes can be
easily combined with those adjoining
them and served by one carrier. In this
way from a third to half of the car
riers can be allowed leave without detri-
ment to the service and also without i'm
posing overwork on those who remain
on duty.
Heretofore when a carrier went off on
his leave a substitute carrier had to be
impressed in his stead to perform the
necessary service on his route. The use
of substitute carriers necessary to allow
the regular carriers their regular fifteen
days annual leave costs the Post Office
Department about a million and a half
dollars a year for the whole country,
cost about three millions to give the let
ter carriers the usual thirty days leave
allowed generally in the government serv-
ice This. in these days when economy
is the rule in congressional as we'll as

simply out of the question. 1t is hoped
by the experiment to be made in the

that by temporary combination and re-
arrangement OF carrier routes, IN con-

Respect for Old People.

From the Dayton Herald.
We need to cultivate reverence more.
Americans are too fippant. too disre-
spectful. In Germany the men and
boys tip their hats to not only women,
but to teachers, professors and ministers.
We're getting lax even in our re-
spect for women, and as far as teachers
and preachers go-why. they're simply
placed in the same class as other wage
workers.
Every one knows how irreverent young
America is to parents and to the aged.
Providing the boy or girl with all that
science discovers, that ingenuity sug-
gests. wealth procures, society gives.
the average child easily forgets the
great. deep-rooted, lasting obligation he
owes his parent. OF course, this Is not
true in every case. There are hundreds
of fine manly little men and womanly
little women who are obedient to
their parents. but the general
character of the national child-life is
tinged with the spirit Of irreverence for
parenthood. We are too much inclined
to disrespect OF age. Experience. sages
agree however, is the greatest teacher.
and it comes with age. Let's cut out a
little of the commercialism and a little
of the foolish and return-not to the days
of our forefathers. but to the spirit of
their reverence. of respect for the old, OF
their parental regard. Would 1t not be
a, pretty and reasonable custom. even
though sentimental, to show especial re-
spect for teachers and preachers. those
who after years Of study and self-sacri-
flce prepare themselves to lead the nation
In the way Of intellectual and spiritual
