DEFENDS THE
PAVEMENT

Contractor Charles Lavene, who
paved Douglas avenue, West Ham
mond, stated to TINES reporter today
that he thinks the objections of the
property owners on Douglas avenue to
the way that street was paved are en-
tirely unfounded.
He says that a macadam pavement
will always kick up" after 1t has just
been laid. He says that 1t usually re-
quires a season of traffic to bind
pavement so that it Is solid. He says
that the winter weather also seems TO
bind these pavements.
He declares that the curb on this
street is as good on any street in the
city. While macadam pavement is the
cheapest that can be laid. he says that
as good job was done on this street
as has been done on any street in the
city.

It Is Going to. Cost So Pei
Ton and Perhaps More tt
Buy Hard Coal This Wint-
er, and Prices Are on the
Jump Right Along.

A local coal dealer who is very well
posted on the coal situation in the mid.
dlewest stated today that he believed
there would be a bad shortage of soft
coal this year and that hard coal would
go TO SIS a ton.
He bases his belief on the fact thai
the Illinois miners have been holding
out for higher wages all spring, and ii
appears to him that they are still faI
from a settlement of their difficulties.
Even If the matter is squared up il
the near future there has been so little
coal mined this summer that the sup.
ply will be low and it will be hard tt
supply the demand.
To accentuate the difficulty there
is a bumper crops to be moved and il
will take all of the available freight
cars to handle it. Phis will keep tho
railroads so busy that they will be una.
BILE to properly take care of the coal
business.
Price to Go Up.
The price of coal at the present time
is 1925 a ton for hard coal and between
81 and IS for soft coal. If the shortags
IS as great as is anticipated the price
of both hard and soft coal will increase
1t is expected that hard coal will bt
at least IS ton this year. There were
several of the dealers who charged that
last year. and it is believed that all OF
them will make this charge this year.
There seems to be some question as
to whether the increase will be mads
on the 18TH of August or the 1st OF
September Usually the increase is
made the 1st of September, but if
there seems to be a certainty OF a bad
shortage the price may go up earlier.

MCDANIEL Man Behind.

Seated in his office, buried behind
books and papers and toiling away
forgetful that this is the vacation pc
riod for the schools, is Superintendent
C. NJ. Mcdaniel. He is mapping out
the campaign of education for next
year. Every child who attends school
has a place in his heart, and he is ever
lastingly planning new ways how he
can reach every last one of the chill
dren. No military general could plan
his campaign more earnestly or more
in detail. All year long he has had
room in the city. He knows what is
going on: in what branches some of the
grades are strong and in what they
weak He is devoting his time now
to re-arranging the course of study.
This course must first of all be uni
form. 1t took him five years to bring
the course up TO its present efficiency,
but improvements are being made from
ear to year to meet the needs of the
pupils in the Hammond schools.

the public schools will number 90 or

Some Hot Weather Dishes.

In these sultry days of summer the
appetite needs new interest to awaken
appreciation and new dishes are most
welcome.
Let nuts take the place of meats, as
they will be found both satisfying and
economical Chilled fruits are the
most wholesome of all desserts; but
for those who care for more elaborate
dishes, here are a few which will re-
ward your Efforts
Peaches En- Surprise.
Soften two tablespoonfuls OF gela-
tine in half cupful of cold water and
dissolve in a cupful of hot cream. Add
two-thirds of cupful of powdered
sugar and strain into a dish set in a
pan of crushed ice; stir until 1t begins
to CONCEAL. Add a teaspoonful Of
orange extract. few drops of saffron
TO give 1t dainty yellow; pour into a
pint Of whipped cream and lightly
fold the mixtures together. Line a
large mould with strips of angel cake.
Put little of the cream mixture in
the bottom of the mould and on each
strip of cake to hold 1t in place. Have
at hand some diced-ripe peaches gen.
erously sprinkled with sugar and lem
on Juice, fill the mould nearly full,
then pour in the cream. Bury in ice
and salt for three hours.
The following will be a dessert that
is at least uncommon:
Creole orange cream with almonds
in double boiler, put two cupfuls of
water, the Juice of four oranges, the
rind of two, and two cupfu.s of sugar
and the beaten yolks of ten eggs. Stir
until the mixture thickens. Put into
a freezer and stir until half frozen

hours

COMBINING LACE AND BEADING
Slight carelessness or Lack Of Prepar-
alton Sufficient to Mar tho
Result.

When lace and beading are to be
sewed to thin materials. such as mus
lin dresses or underwear of any kind,
II must be carefully and thoroughly
done to produce good results. Lace
edging nearly always has stout
thread In the selvedge which serves
admirably as a gathering thread. Pull
this thread and stroke the gathers to
make them even. Roll the edge OF the
material and. holding the lace and
edge together with the thumb and fore
finger OF the lett hand, with the lace
nearest you. overcast the two together
with Arm even stitches. When sewed

sewed In exactly the same manner, but

nrst baste the material on the right
tide to iorm the desired design, and
hem 1t down on both edges. Cut the
material from underneath the inser-
ton, leaving a narrow strip ON each
side of the insertion. Crease this
strip back from the insertion toward
the material and turn as for a hem.
Overland this. taking stitches close to
the line OF the hemming.

rope as neatly as II 1t had been cut
with n knife when the weight of three
men was placed upon It.
The contractor found evidences OF
acid having been applied to the part
of the rope which broke. This, he
thinks, was done by some person try.

the scaffold would fall. He does not
suspect who could have placed the
acid on the rope, which for several
nights has ben put into barrel and
allowed to remain standing on the
sidewalk In front of the Hotel Antler.
Whoever applied the acid to the rope
did so in one spot only, so that 1t
would require some little weight to pull
1t apart after 1t had destroyed the ma
nlla tissue of the rope
The boss had to climb down rope
from the fourth story to the scaffold
to release the twisted guy rope and re-
lieve the men who were suspended in
the air and holding on by their arms
and legs In imminent danger of losing
their hold and their lives at the same
time. He was cheered by the great
crowd that gathered as he slowly
swung himself loose and let himself
slide down the ropes to the scaffold.
The accident happened shortly after
noon, when the three employees. John
Thompson, Herbert Clems and William
Blackburn, were preparing to raise the

THREE hats of excellent design are
shown for those who are wearing
mourning. 1t will be noticed that
the shapes are small or moderate in
size. that the designs are simple but
the workmanship intricate and beau
tiful. These characteristics are what
the wearer should look for when pur-
chasing mourning millinery.
The first hat, small round turban
with rolling brim, Is made of tiny
folds OF Grape laid in parallel rows on
circles about them or four inches In
diameter. These are applied to the
crown and brim which have pre-
viously been covered with Grape laid
on plain. The wire frame Is covered
and lined with silk and the hat is
finished with a wired bow of taffeta
A rolled border of Grape sometimes
binds the edges of such bows and
makes a very handsome finish for the
ornament.
