The investment would be productive
of moderate rate of interest to the
men who put up the money. The safe
ty of the investment could be guaran-
teed by the business men, who would
have the property as security. Every
dollar that was paid on the property
would reduce the risk by just that
much. and 100 homes would be pro-
vided for Hammond working men next
summer
There is no doubt that every one of
100 houses could be disposed Of in a
few months. Mr.. Betz believes that if
the fact that Hammond had homes to
sell under those terms was advertised
extensively over the region, 1000 cot
tages and lots could be disposed of next
year. That would mean an addition Of
5000 people to the population.

lots would cease to be a fioater and

INDIANA STEEL CO.
SUFFERS A LOSS
Cold Snap Plays Havoc
With Water Pipes in
Gary.

The present cold snap has been the
cause Of no little loss to the various
departments of the Indiana steel com
pany. For the past three days open
hearth furnace No. has been out of
commission, and all efforts to thaw out
the water pipes have been fruitless. A
large force of men have been at work,
both night and day, but, on account Of
the building being practically open at
both ends, the work of thawing out the
pipes has been a very difficult task.
Numerous salamanders have been put
in use, but without avail.
The rail mill has also been hampered
greatly in turning out its regular ca
pacity during the past few days. Where
as the big rail mill, which has a ca
pacity of about 1 200 tons every twelve
hours, only about 400 tons have been
produced during the last two night
turns.
The result of open hearth furnace be-
ing down it viii caused a shortage Of
ingots, which naturally will have some
effect on the regular capacity OF the
billet and rail mills.

Hammond is on the verge of the
dizzy whirl Of Christmas shopping for
two weeks from tonight, local mer-
chants will turn the key to their door
after what promises to be an excep-
tiona1 fortnight of shopping.
Hammond awoke with a start this
morning, realizing that but two short
weeks remain in which to make its
purchases. The only consoling thought
for the tardy shopper is the fact that
the local stores are so stocked up that
it is loss of time and money to go to
Chicago to fight with the thousands
of shoppers there for a look at picked
over articles.
So the person who has been putting
OF his Christmas duty viii have less
worry in remaining at home than going
to Chicago. and will find just as good
bargins here.
bargains Are in Hammond.
Local merchants have learned a les
son to the effect that they must put
just as good stock with as large va
riety and bargain prices on the count
ers as the Chicago stores. They can
do this for the reason that they are not
under obligation to pay the enormous
rents that Chicago stores must pay.
