MANUFACTURER TALKS
Prominent Automobile Maker Says
That Parts Will Cost Less to
Factories Next
Year.

we'll known automobile enthus-
last who recently returned from Chi
cago, brings good news for the con-
templative buyer of cars, which bears
every indication of reliability This
gentleman declares that while in
Chicago he talked with the vice presi-
dent Of one of the largest manufac-
turers of automobile parts in the
country, whose establishment sup
plies materials for the most expensive
cars in the United States as we'll as
a large number of the cheaper cars.
He says that cut will be made on
automobile parts of all description
and prices on cars will be reduced
from five hundred to seven or eight
hundred dollars On the higher grade
axes, while proportional reduc-
ton will be made upon the cheaper
machines.
This reduction will not be noticed
until the 1912 models are placed upon
the market about year hence. The
reason for this is that the price Of
the parts will remain unchanged until
the first of next year, and consequent
ly the 1911 deliveries will not come
under the changed prices.
1t has been found that the various
parts used in the construction of cars,
which are very rarely made by the
same factory which assemblies the
cars, can be sold at considerably
reduced price without cutting down
the proper margin of profit. Various
influences conduce to this condition of
affairs, while at the same time the
growing competition would sooner or
later bring about the same result.
Automobiles have come to stay, ap-
parently. Their value for commercial
purposes is now as we'll recognized
as for purely pleasure riding. The
/ sales in the middle west are upon
1 the increase.
A notable fact regarding the cost
of machines, is brought out by COM
parison of the average cost during
! the years of the past decade. Be
tween 1903 and 1907 prices of cars
/ increased, but since that time there
has been a gradual decrease, due to
the fact that very large number of
excellent cheap cars have been put
| on the market, and that their sale has
increased at a much more rapid gait
than that of the higher priced cars.
i Nearly two-thirds of all the machines
4 sold last year cost their purchasers
/ less than $1,000, while seven years
ago it would have been hard to have
bought reliable car for that price.
After all there is net so much diff
/ ference between buying cheap cal
and one more expensive. Aside from
the question of power, which, OF
course. is always greater in the high
err priced car, the situation narrows
4 down to these facts. A high priced
car lasts with care for five or ter
years, giving satisfactory service. A
cheap car ordinarily lasts consider
ably less than this time. and new
car is usually bought. The expense
in the long run is about the same

PROBLEM
PRESENTED
FOR SOLUTION

On account. of conditions in Gary.
Postmaster Call is daily awaiting an
order from the department at Wash
ington. designating that every resi-
dence shall be equipped with a mail
box.
1t has been found, that. owing to
the fact that nearly every home has
from one to twelve roomers, the mail
carriers are having some hard prob
lens in their deliveries. The depart
ment will not allow any extra men just
now. the city is growing constantly.
and Mr.. Call finds that he must devise
means in order to lessen the unneces-
sary work of the man delivery service.
Causss, Loss of Time.
Under the existing arrangements the
carrier must ring the door bell, wait
for an answer and the ndeliver the
mail for the house to the person re-
spending. Sometimes this entails a
wait of two to five minutes. The postal
department has issued strict instruc-
| tions to the effect that mail must not
be thrown behind screen doors, or left
on the porch when an answer can be
| had at the door.
| If mail boxes are installed. says Mr..
Call, the local carriers could handle
| their work with better dispatch. II
would simply be matter of dropping
the letters in the receptacle and going
ION to the next door.
| II fnd." declares the postma ster
| that the carriers have infinitely more
| trouble with the American people OF
| the west end than they do in the
| quarters where the foreigners reside
/ The foreigner will do anything to have
his mail reach him directly and prompt
ly He will even write abroad to his
| friends the most minute change and Ne
takes great interest in his mail de-
| livery.
1T may be surprising to hear this
! but the people of the west end are very
| careless. Nearly every home has room
ers but the carrier always has a hard
time finding their names. Very few Of
them have mail boxes and In cases
| where there are none many of the PEG
pie do not answer the door purposely
and thus keep the carriers waiting.
Until these people cooperate with
the service, install mail boxes. keep
list of their roomers and send word te
their correspondents their changes IL

householder to install mail boxes

HOLOUP MEN GIVE
GARY POLICE TROUBLE

Gary OF late has been suffering from
a long series of holdups and robberies
and no matter how vgilant the police
have been Chief Martin and his men
have been unable to catch any of the
robbers and holdup men in the act
of committing the deed. Arrests have
been made in nearly every case and it
has caused the police much worry to
cope with the situation.
Following the holdup of Joseph
Skoken, a Gary contractor on Wednes-
day by two negroes Joseph Smith, and
Alonzo Taylor, came the robbery of the
cash register in the Gem barber shop
on Seventh avenue. this morning. by
the negro porter.
Gem Shop Robbed.
The Gem shop is operated by two
Greeks. Cladenops and Elepnlos, who
were asleep in the rear of the shop at
the time of the rotsery The negro
porter is known by the name of Jim
He pried open the cash register while
the proprietors were asleep and took
the contents amounting to SIS. 1t is
Thought the negro took an early train
to Chicago the police have been I'M
able to evade his where abouts.
The trial of Smith and Taylor who
robbed the Gary contractor of 1885 will
be heard in Mayor Knots court this
afternoon. And their is no doubt that
they will be bound over to the super
Tor court. Upon being searched yes
terday afternoon by Chief Martin a
package containing a complete set of
opium pipes, opium and morphine was
| found on Smiths person. 1t is thought
now that the negro has been selling the
drugs to the negroes in Gary and there
has been many cases that 1t is being
used that has come up before the no
tice of the police.
VIII Drive Out UndesirabIes.
| Chief Martin stated this morning
that an effort would be made to drive
out all undesirable negroes out of Gary.
Smith and Taylor before committing
the robbery were found in Charles
Jackson's dive at the corner of Six
| teenth avenue and Washington as were
a score or more of negroes. Jackson's
place has for years been a hang out
| for this class of negroes who are oil
the lowest type and never have beer
known to work in Gary.
| Reports of robberies in the residence
section and all other parts of Gary
have reached the police station every
few days and the police are now con
/ WINGED that it is this class of negroe:
who are committing the robberies ant
hold ups.

although other streets in the vicinity
are being passed these two avenues will
remain in their present shape.
AT the north end of Rhode Island

houses for many of the foreigners and
nearly five hundred people are now
living in them. When the time comes
these houses will be removed to other
portions of the city.

SOUTH SHORE TRACKING
WILL SOON Be DONE

East Chicago, Aug. 12.-The double
tracking of the South Shore line is
progressing nicely The force of men.
100 strong, which has been doing the
work between East Chicago and Gary
has now reached East Chicago, and the
entire job is expected to be completed
to Hammond inside of two months. All
of the grading is done and the work is
now confined to the laying of ties and
the placing of rails, the latter having
been strung along the right of way.
wherever needed
While it had been the company's in
tention to wait for the paving of Chi
cago avenue between Railroad avenue
and the canal, before the second track
was laid here, this idea has been
abandoned, and there will be no furth-
er delay as the company is anxious to
have the double tracking complete.
If the Indiana Harbor service is con-
tinued to Hammond, as contemplat ted.
this will necessitate the laying of a
number of switches between Calumet
and the Harbor so that cars can pass
each other without tedious delays. The
double tracking of the main line will
be a great improvement to the system

SLOUGHS
MAY CAUSE
TYPHOID

A new theory has been reached in
the typhoid fever investigation in Gary
and 1t Is thought that the disease may
be caused, especially in the south part
of the city, from the water in the
marshes and sloughs.
The territory south of Eleventh
avenue and west of Broadway is COM
posed chiefly 81 lowlands and sloughs
and the water which has been standing
in them throughout the summer has
become stagnant and at the present
time is extremely ill smelling.
There is no doubt in my mind"
said prominent Gary physician today,
that much of the sickness in the
south part of the city is caused from
these marshes and bad drainage.
had occasion to visit a patient in Toll
eston last night and in going down
Eleventh avenue the stencil that comes
from these marshes is sickening. The
people in that district are compelled
to secure their drinking water from
wells and there is doubt that much
of the typhoid, malaria and sickness
caused by stomach disorders is the re-
suit of this source"

The Course of True Love, Brilliant
 Feature Picture

Feature Picture.
 In the feature picture for the bal ance of the week the patrons of this popular theater will have a pictorial portrayal of the old adage, s'The course of true love ne'er runs smooth,'s and the very unusual and dramatic story Is well told in this splendid film. A young and prosperous artist becomes enga ged to the belle of the town and while working in his studio his dinner is brought in, but he is too engrossed with his canvas to eat and he gives the lunch to a flower girl who enters his studio in the vain endeayor to sell her goods While she is devouring the meal the artist hears his chums com ing up the stairs and hustleS the girl behind a screen. The boys are closely followed by his betrothed, and as he is painting the portrait of a man it is no easy matter to explain the presence of the flower girl. Pandemonium ensues and the artist prepares to leave town and the flower girl, hearing she is the innocent cause of the separa- lion, hurries to the engaged girls home and, as she is much caImer, suc- ceedS in explaining the situation, and the pair hurry to the studio. reaching there just in time to catch the depart ing artist
 The whole bill is resplendent with pictorial novelties, and is one of the best of the season, while Miss Wol- cott's splendid singing is a refreshing feature.

The question as to whether players take an interest in the performances in which they are participating, excepting tbe part for which they are east is a question which often arises in the mind of the average playgoer. With some of the great players in the his tory of the stage it has been the cus- tom for the members of the supporting company to gather in the entrance and observe the particular scenes and sit nations as portrayed by the star and his immediate foil. For instance, Tom Lewis, in The Yankee Prince, always has one of the most appreciative au- diences a comedian could ever ask for. The company crowds in the entrances at the end of the second act. The speech is always something new, a rambling, disconnected and uproarious- ly funny talk that brings the Conan forces to a point bordering on hys- terics, and several times Lewis has ing position, awaiting the customary Interruption and withdrawal from the stage by his associates when the latter are doubled up with laughter and un- able to appear at the customary time.
 Other stars and even minor mem bers of the company, particularly new ones have a most critical audience in their associates, and 1t is not a strange thing to see a performer rush madly to the dressing room and make a quick change, entirely unnecessary for so watch a particular scene or hear a particular speech.
