THIEVES
STEAL AUTOS
IN HAMMOND

Automobile thieves last night invad-
ed Hammond. and stole Frank Ham
mond's five passenger, Overland tour
ing car from the garage in the rear of
the Thomas Hammond residence at sos
South Holman street. The theft was
not discovered until after eight o'clock
this morning, and consequently the
thieves had enough time to put several
hundred miles between them and the
owner.
When Mr.. Hammond stabbed the car
last night a nine o'clock it was in
perfect running order, with good tires,
plenty of gasoline and oil and a new
presto light. He took the key out and
hooked the garage door from the inside,
bu the thieves found and entrance
through a rear window and unlocked
the entrance door. The number of the
machine is 411,155 while the license
number is C-757-Ind. The machine is
insured for a thousand dollars.
Second Machine Stolen
Chief Austgen upon receiving the re-
port Immediately, notified the sur
rounding and the Chicago police head
quarters. The Overland people were
also notified.
1t is possible that the automobile was
stolen by joy riders, and in that event
it will probably be found along some
roadside out of oil or gasoline
The Hammond machine is the second
that has been stolen from local people
the Hupmobile of DR.. Campbell having
been the first one. It was recovered
near Dixon, Ill.
There has been an alarming increase
in the number of auto thefts, especially
in the larger cities, but in the majority
of cases the machines although some
what worse for the experience. have
been restored to their rightful owners

The Frank 6. Betz Co. has just in
stalled a line of undertaker's supplies
and is now in a position to take
care of a human being from the time
he arrives in the world to the time he
leaves it
Something of an idea Of what Betz

from the following:
l. He will sell the young man the
enga cement ring
?. He viii furnish the bridal suite
3. He is frequently the first aid to
the stork.
4. He will fumigate the house when
the baby gets the measles.
8. When the youngster gets old
enough to undergo an operation he
will furnish 100, 900 kind of instru-
ments with which the incisions may be
made.
g. When the teeth begin to drop out
Betz will furnish more
Z. When you get ready to die Betz
furnishes the doctors with the rem
edies with which they accomplish your
purpose
s. And now Betz has put in line
of undertakers supplies so that he
can furnish the embalming fluid and
the coffin when you depart this life.
1t has now got to the point where
you can't live without Betz. and you
can't die without him.
Betz says that there is only one OBJ
lection to the undertaking business.
That is that you must bury your
friends. You never get a chance at

QUESTION
IS RAISED
Why Is Hammond City Ad-
nninistration Committed to
Steam Power When Gary
and Other Cities Use Elec-
tricity at One Third Cost.

Is the city administration of Ham
mond discriminating against the use
of electric power for the pumping of
water and in favor of steam power?
Is it committed to steam power in
spite of the fact that water is sue
cessfully pumped at Gary, Lake Forest
andRiver Forest about a third of the
cost with electric power?
This is a point which has been raised
by a representative for an electrical
pump concern who has gone over the
situation thoroughly and would like
to know why it is that bids on cleo
trical pumps were not sought by the
Becker administration for the lake
front plant.
The present requirements are for the
pumping of 100000 gallons of wat
er every twenty-four hours. However,
it has been decided to install pumps
that will take care of 100000 gal
Ions to meet the needs of the future.
Cost Is Less.
To meet these requirements it is
necessary that three units of horse
power each be installed whether the
pumps be operated by steam or cleo
tricity.
The point raised by the electrical
pump company. and which is of inter
est to the people of Hammond. if his
contention is true. is that it costs con
siderably more to pump water by
steam than it does by electricity.
According to the figures which he
has presented, it will cost s25.75 a day

On Sunday night the information was
