graciously responded to several encores
in spite of the small attendance.

WOLF IS At THE DOOR
Police Need Clothes for the
Poor Tag Day Helps
Out Somewhat.

There is need for charity in Ham
mond these days. especially since the
cold weather set in. The police de-
partment and the charity committee
of the Hammond womans club and the
Jewish Ladies Aid society. who in
augurated tag day recently. are being
appealed to by the poor people Of Ham
mond.
Thus far the most requests have
come to the two organizations, but
some have come to the police depart
ment, especially for clothes It is for
this reason that the police ask those
who discard clothes to turn them over
to the department in order that they
may be distributed to the needy.
Mrs. J. NJ. Turner and Mrs. I. L Mod
jeska Of the charity committees have
sent out coal and flour and groceries,
bought clothing for children and in one
instance put children whose mother was
sick Ia bed into a charity institution.
Every case is thoroughly Investigated,
and the workers feel satisfied that their
help has really gone into deserving
hands
AS this Is only the beginning of win
ter the probabilities are that there will
be many calls for assistance.

BIG SCHEME
AT GIBSON
Continued from Page -

quite for the handling Of the vast
amount of freight that is received in
the yards. classified and shipped to its
destination.
Within a year or two the New York
Central lines viii begin the construc-
ton of new yard along the Michigan
Central right of way, east of Gibson.
The land is already purchased for this
new yard. and the property includes
several hundred acres of land in
strip extending all of the way from
Gibson to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
railroad at point near the western
boundaries of Tolleston and Gary.
With the new transfer station estab-
lished at Gibson and the new yards
built east of that place, the develop
ment of this Locality is expected to be
very rapid.
FOUR TRACKING HELD UP.
+ The project to four track the Michi-
gan Central railroad between Gibson
and Calumet park is still held UP by
the balky attitude of the officials Of
the Erie railroad. There is a differ
ence of opinion regarding the location
Of the interlocking tower and the two
extra tracks which have been laid by
the Michigan Central railroad cannot
be used until this question of the 10
cation of the interloeking tower is set
tied.
This question also prevents the car
rying out of the plan to have the
trains Of the Gary & western rail-
road run all of the way to Calumet
Park instead of stopping at Calumet
avenue, Hammond. as is now the case.
1t is now very inconvenient to take the
Gary & Western trains from Hammond
and it is believed that when the trains
stop at the Michigan Central depot at
Hammond they will become favorite
means OF reaching Gary.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that
there are to be some promotions among
the higher officials Of the Michigan
Central railroad. These promotions are
expected to be announced in the near
future
