WINTER RETURNS
TO LAKE COUNTY
Blizzard Is Predicted by the
Weather Man, But Fails
to Show Up.

Lake county was storm m-swept last
night from the Kankakee to Lake
Michigan. Reports to THE TINES from
its correspondents indicates that the
rainfall was very great. In the Calu-
met region over an inch of rain fell.
Dreams of a mid winter summer were
shattered last night and a blizzard of
sleet and snow, with a much lower
temperature, is scheduled to strike the
region today.
snowstorm is coming from the
northwest and storm of rain is com
ing from the Panhandle region. Snow
that was almost rain began falling
in the afternoon and kept up with in
creasing cold during the night.
The northwest is in the grip of a
cold wave, the thermometer registering
10 below zero in many places. There
was snow in Kansas and Nebraska and
heavy rains in the southwest.

FIRST SCHOOL SEMESTER
Supt. Mcdaniel Adopts New
Plan for the School
Examinations.

Today is the end of the first semester
in the public schools. There were no
classes in the high school as a result.
Today marks the end of the first sem
ester and Monday will mark the begin
ming of the second.
The event is an important cne in that
there will be many promotions from
one grade into another. The plan has
been adopted by superintendent Nc
Daniels for the reason that it viii af-
ford greater facility in making promo
tions
Instead of having the slower and
less brilliant students hold the en-
tire class back there will be mid
winter promotion of those who learn
most rapidly and the others viii then
be able to go more slowly and more
thoroughly.
Consequently today is one Of the most
important of the year in the local pub
lie schools. All of the teachers and the
students as well are interested and
are anxious TO know just how the new
plan viii work out

MANY DUCKS FLYING
Hammond Nimrods Want to
to Get a Crack at
the Birds.

There has been every sign of spring.
but flying ducks up until yesterday,
and then a flock of ducks was seen by
Edward Ames. Flying ducks during
the latter part of January is but an
other proof of the fact that it has been
a great many years since Hammond
people have known such freakish
weather.
OF course, the duck season does not
open until along about the first of
April, but if the season was open the
chances are that the hunting would
be fairly good these cold, rainy, windy
days.
The remarkable effect that the warm
water of Lake Michigan has on the
weather is shown by the fact that yes
terday there was a hard snow storm in
Valparaiso. while in Hammond all we
experienced was a cold rain, partly
mixed with sleet.

employed in the Standard Oil company s
plant and the other, while unemployed,
is undergoing a cure for alcoholism
and is confined to the house.
The chief says that there were three
robberies in South Chicago the night
after the Whiting robbery. which were
done in exactly the same manner as the
one at Whiting. Bricks were thrown
in the windows and quantity OF goods
were stolen.
Chief Lawler says the hounds led him
TO Otto Bauer's corner and that he be-
lieves the robbers took a car to South
Chicago from this place.
Lawler says the dogs cut up other
capers that did not point conclusively
to the fact that the house in the David
son addition housed the thieves. He
did not explain why he did not quietly
secure a search warrant and make ar
investigation of the premises as soor
as the dogs led him there and end the
whole discussion and relieve the people
there of the suspicion that naturally
hangs over them now.
His statement is that the young man
who is supposed to be taking the Kee
ley cure, came out of the house anC
interviewed him on the morning of tn,

Skin Grating Story in The

Andrew Pelon's Life.

Since the publication of the story In
last evenings TIMES regarding the
necessity for having large number
of pieces OF skin, which are 10 be
grated on to the injured leg of An
drew PheIOn, there has been a wide
spread IN the case.
DR.. II. E. Sharrer, who is trying 10
save the mans leg, was very encour-
aged over the offers that have already
been received. 1t is apparent to him
that there are lots of people in HAM
mond who have a true spirit of human
ity.
Most of the people who have come
to Dr. Sharrer had the idea that the
skin could be removed in his office and
then taken to the patient and grated

Every Little Bit Helps.
This is a mistaken idea, however
for 1t will be necessary for all who
are willing to part with a little patch
of skin to go to ST. Margarets hos
pitaI at 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning
and as soon as the skin is removed
from their body it will be placed on
that of the patient and will stand q
much better chance of being success
fully grated.
1t should also be known that the
operation by which the skin is removed
from the subject is not painful one
1t is not necessary to take an anesthet-
ic and the operation is easily done.
The skin is removed from some in
conspicuous place and, as Phelon il
still in need of a large number Of
kpatches. every little piece that is pro
vided for him will help out that much
Two Ladies Make Offer.
Among the large number of peopl'

leg were two women. Their hearts hac
been touched by the predicamnt il
which Phelon has been placed and the!
were willing to offer a part of thei
cuticle if it would do any good.
AS it makes no differences whethe
the skin is from a man or from a wo

at the offers. It is hoped that ther
will be large number of people a

that Phelon's leg. and probably hi

Coal Business Ruined.

The coal men of Hammond say that
this has been a ruinous winter for
them. The weather has been so warm
that the consumption of coal has been
way below that of last year. If a cold
spell comes and stays they may be able
to pick up a little business. Things
look bad, however, and one man said
that If it had not been for the whole
sale business he managed to do. his
business would have been little better
than 1t is in the summer.
