GAS COMPANY To
START INNOVATION
Public Glass in Domestic
Science to Be Inaugu-
rated in Tent Show.

The Northern Indiana Gas & Electric
Co. is to start an innovation in Ham
mond this summer that will interest
every woman in the city. 1t is to be
a public class in domestic science.
W. D. Ray, the manager of the COM
pany, stated today that it is very likely
that large tent will be secured and a
number of demonstrators will be in
stalled to show the marveIs OF cooking
with gas and electricity.
The purpose of having the demons
tration in tent Is to insure a cool
place for demonstrating. The demons
tration will be regular exhibit of the
new things that are now offered to the
up-to-date house wife.
1t is expected that there will be
battery of kitchen ranges all connected
with the mains of the company and
working over them will be a number of
demonstrators who will cook all of the
good things in the cook book and serve
them to the visitors.
Cheapness To Be shown.
The fact will be demonstrated that
the modern gas range can do every
thing from toasting bread and making
waffles to broiling steak and chops 1t
will furthermore be apparent to those
who enter the Northern Indiana Gas &
Electric Company's spotless kitchen
that it is much cleaner and easier to
cook with gas than 1t is with coal or
wood. A large gas meter, as large as
the Lion Store clock, will not only show
how much gas is being used but it will
also show just how many mills or pen
nies it costs to cook a given article
Then there will be exhibits of cleo
-
heaters and chafng dishes and the cost
of the current to operate these new
conveniences will be shown
Manager Ray is now looking for
some capable demonstrators and it is
expected that the big demonstration
will be started some time in the near
future.

OUTING
ATTRACTS
THE BOYS

Charles B. Hahn, the director Of
Boyville, says that the boys are TAX
ing considerable interest in the out
Ing at Boy City, near eCharlevoix. He
says he is confident that there will be
at least fifty boys who will go on this
trip.
The interest in the other trips, how
ever, is not as great as it might be-
The boys seem to be concentrating all
of their interest in the big trip to
Charlevoix, and unless more of them
announce their intention to go to
Camp Chesterton the local canning
trip will be abandoned
There is a good prospect, however.
that the hike to Camp Chesterton will
be pulled off. A number of bows have
signiied their intention of making
this trip and it is believed that a large
enough party will be organized to
make the trip worth while.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
TO Be VERDICT
Though Driver Is Under
Bond He Will Probably
Be Exonerated.

Accidental death will be the verdict
of Coroner E. NJ. Shanklin in connec-
tion with the case of Gertrude Gruszka.
the fifteen months old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Walter Gruszka who died last
Thursday evening from the effects OF
injuries which she received when she
was struck by vehicle belonging to
Sam Carley and driven by William
Hart. While Hart is under bond, there
is nothing in the evidence furnished by
the coroner that calls for the arrest or
detention of anybody and the proba-
bilities are that the teamster will be
exonorated.
The funeral of the infant was held
this morning. Services were held at
the Polish Catholic church on the north
side and interment was in Holy Cross
cemetery.

speeches in Indiana. And it seems to be
q serious question with some of them
They do not know whether to devote

the principal speaker this year for the

that he will devote considerable time

indication that the day will be fair.

party have been hearing of the won
ders of the picnic at Hazelden farm and
today they are to be revealed
Last night a large number of Chi

the way to the farm. They stopped
at the various towns along the raute
and ran into Brook this morning.

A. NJ. Turner and some of the other
owners Of automobiles from Hammond.
have made arrangements by which they
will met the members OF the Hammond
delegation who go by train at the sta

and will see that they get to the farm

DAD" IS
IN LAND Of
THE LIVING
Hammond Veterans Recog-
nize Corpse at Morgue-
That Is, They Think They
Do, But Daddy Is Very
Much Alive in Danville.

Even Death, the grim old account
ant, does occasionally delight in add
Ing a touch Of the grotesque to his
invariably dark and sombre handi-
work, forgetting not to leave the
sting where he meant to place 1t but
at the same time reaching out into
other circles to make his presence
known without leaving IN his wake a
mourning hand. This week he laid
his scene in Hammond and the grim
prank has just come to light.
E. Miller, an old man and apparent
derelict. who told the Sisters OF St
Margaret's hospital that he hailed
from Kansas City, died last Sunday
after he had been found by the police
in a barn in the south part OF town.
Miller, If that was his name, left lit
tie information about himself and the
corpse was turned over to Krebs &
Burns. in whose morgue 1t rested until
today.
"Daddy" Well and Happy
In the meantime the word went
around among some of the old SOL
diers and other fixtures about town
THAT the Oedd man was none other
than an old soldier who was known
for many years in Hammond as
Daddy" Stevens. The old cNonies
came to the morgue, and what the cold
figure lacked in facts the warm and
sympathetic imagination supplied un-
til it was quite we'll agreed, although
not definitely, that the corpse must be
that of Daddy" Stevens Some one
remembered that Daddy" Stevens had
last been heard from while in good
standing when he stayed at the Dan
Vile, H., soldiers home, and Krebs &,
Burns wired to this institution for in
formation
PADDY Stevens we'll and happy"
came back the reply by telegraph.
That settled 1t. The body Of 'E. Mill
err was sent to Valparaiso TODAY to
be turned over to the medical students
there.

ENJOYING
NICE BOOM
Thriving Village Expected
to Become One of Gary's
Prettiest Suburbs, and B.
Is o. Shops Are Expected
to Help a Great Deal.

Miller. Gary's neighbor on the east
is experiencing a boom and rise in
property values due to the development
OF the steel city's east end and the
completion OF the first coke ovens on
the towns western limits
In addition to this fact that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad is TO build
its yards and shops there and the pos
sibilities of the American Locomotive
company beginning operations just
west of Miller next spring lends en-
couragement to the towns realty
values.
One of the contributory scources Of
Miller's boom lies In the fact that the
drainage system which the town board
is installing will result in the reclama-
tion of hundreds of acres of land.
Property that was practically worth
less will find ready market at acre
age prices once it becomes dry land.

The drainage system will serve to

The people Of Robertsdale are very
much concerned over the fact that Con
tractor Henry Davidson of Whiting has
not made faster progress with the
building of the pavement on Indiana
Boulevard. Hammond. Whiting, East
Chicago and Gary are interested in the
completion of the paving
The work progressed fairly well un-
til the Supreme court of the State or
Indiana declared the three mile road
law unconstitutional and the nthe work
was dropped for several months.
The Robertsdale people do not blame
the constructor for this but after work
had agzfn begun on Indiana Boulevard
the people of Whiting began to clamor
for the construction of certain streets
in Whiting which Davidson had also
secured the contract to build.
Davidson is then alleged to have
ordered his men off the Indiana Boule-
ward job and to have compelled them to
work on the jobs in Whiting. In the
meantime the work on the boulevard
was abandoned and traffic on this
street was practically stopped.
Work Must Not L4ng.
While 1t is fact that Davidson has
again begun work on Indiana Boule-
ward the people eS Robertsdale do not
know when 1t will again be found nee
essary to delay the work.
The failure of the contractor to build
this street endangers the whole of
Roby which is necessible only by this
road excepting when a detour of near
iy two miles is made. The fact is
pointed out that should q fire break out
in Roby 1t would take so long for the
Robertsdale fire department to reach
the place that the flames might do a
great amount of damage before they
could be extinguished.
The people of Robertsdale are de-
manding that Indiana Boulevard be
completed as soon as possible so that
they will no longer have to put up with
the inconvenience that they are now
compelled to submit to.

he explained by the fact that it was
still twilight. In the meantime a num-
ber of people had gathered at the scene
and some of these knew Fredericks and
vouched for him as being a law abid-
ing citizen. The constable permitted
his "gallus" to snap back into place,
replaced his baby Krupp, spat into the
public highway and with a warning
glance at the Hammond man told him
he might go in peace instead of TO the
