HOLD MEET
LAST NIGHT

The members of the Hammond Medi-
cal society met in the Elks' club
rooms last evening and continued the
discussion of the subject of pneumonia
The discussion was not confined to any
one member, but was general. The
meeting was also social in its nature
and a good time is reported
Since the organization of the So
ciety and the burying of the hatchet
by the warning doctors of the city
has been harmonious. Instead of fight
ing each other the doctors are now
planning a warfare against the poor
unprotected little swrigglers that in
fest the human body with deleterious
effect.
United we. stand. divided. the little
germs raise the dickens with our pa
tients." is to be the motto in the fu-
ture The III. DIS will hereafter swap
information for their mutual benefit
and from all indications there have
been no sponges left in torse of the
society since it was last under the sur
geon's care.

Today is Candlemas day, and
"On Candlemas day, If the sun appear.
There'll be two winters in the year"
At least, this inspiring couplet is the
Scotch version of it, but the Scotch
rhmyster was only half canny. for he
left out the essential part of the mat
ter, which is the grounding.
Candlemas day, in popular parlance
is nothing more or less than grounding
day; grounding day from the frozen
Yukon to the palms of Panama
Every passing shade in the sky was
anxiously watched by Hammond people,
but the worst happened between and
10 O'Clock when the sun peeped from
behind the clouds for only few mo-
ments-just long enough to give Mr..
Groundhog a glimpse. of his shadow.
The Hon Charles Josh" Billings, In
surance man, and incidentally polar
expert. the leading one in Hammond,
decries the grounding weather theory.
He has seen it fail in the past and
with him the rodent prognosticator is
persona non grata.

BOYS TO Be

Students in Contests in the
Hammond High School
Will Be Compelled Before
Participating to Submit to
Physical Examination.

1t is believed that the steps that
were taken by superintendent c. M.
Mcdaniel of the Hammond public
schools and by Principal McElroy aft
er the close of the athletic season
last year will prevent the occurrence in
Hammond of an accident similar to
that which resulted in the death of
Arthur zahn. the l5-year-old school lboy,
who fell dead d on The gy1rnasium ssack

/ The coroner's verdict showed tha
| the death of the young man was the
result of over-exertion and veal

/ dent of the Chicago board of education
to order that all high school student!

forms of sport to submit to physica

superintendent MCDANIEL said toda,

local schools had come to the decision

boys who desire to participate in tn
more strenuous sports shall first sub
NIT to a physical examination for TIL

fitness of the candidate for the spor
in which he desires to participate.
This is the first step that has bee
taken towards the regulation of sport

on the locomotive, states that the bell

Thomas Dunning, Driver, Is
Hurled from Seat and Sc

CROSSING TRACKS IN ALLEY
Buildings Hid Victim from Sight of
Engineer and Former Did Not
Hear the Bell.

1 Thomas Dunning, 1918 Second ave-
nue., narrowly escaped death yesterday
evening when Burlington switch en-
gine ran down the wagon which he was
driving and knocked him out and de-
molished the vehicle. AS 1t was, he was
badly hurt, his left arm being broken
and his head, arms, legs and body be-
ing severely cut and bruised. Carroll
Black, a lad living at 1919 Second
avenue, who was In the wagon with
Dunning, was dragged along for so
feet before the engine was brought to
a stop, but fortunately he was not hurt
beyond a few scratches. A physician
was summoned as soon as possible af-
ter the accident and the victims in
juries were attended to, after which he
was taken to his home. He was report
ed today as doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances. His
injuries are very painful, but are not
thought to be of very serious nature.
/ Was Way to Barn.
The accident happened about AS in
the evening. The victim owns a horse
and wagon with which he does team
ing. Yesterday he had finished his
work for the day and was on his way
to the barn in which the horse is kept.
This stable is located in the rear of the
building which Mr.. Dunning occupies.
The alley leading to the stable is
crossed by the main tracks Of the Bur-
lington road. Mr.. Dunning had turned
into the alley at Nineteenth street and
was driving east to the barn. Just as
he reached the tracks switch engine
No. 1851 turned the curve in the tracks
at this point and bore down on the
wagon. Mr.. Dunning had heard no
bell and he had no intimation of the
nearness of the locomotive. He did his
best to get over the tracks before be-
ing struck, but the horse was not fast
enough, and the wagon was caught fair
Iy in the middle.
Thrown From Wagon.
The force of the collision hurled the
driver from his seat and he sustained
the injuries mentioned above. The
horse was dragged for a short distance
and then its harness gave way and it
was freed and escaped serious injury.
The Black lad had been sitting in the
body of the wagon, and strange to say
he alone was the least severely in
jured, although he occupied the most
dangerous place. He chung to the wag-

And dream to the song of the ripping

And list to the song of the wheel in

And rustic of leaves in the depths Of

And let mine eyes weary at morning
On pictures Of simmer and prospects

oh, let me HE back to the fair realms

Apart from the struggles and trials
and strife,
And find in the valleys of rest and re-

The fairest and best of the secrets of
life!
The chances of profit, the chances of
gold,
The chances of fortune and favor and
fame;
Give these to the seeker who's careless
and bold,
Who joys in the worrisome fruits of
the game;
The gold that seek is the gold of the

The profit I'd win is the gain that is
won
From love in the valley of joy that is
