TAG DAY SET
FOR OCT. "A

Tag day, an annual event in Ham
mond, will be observed this year on
Saturday. Oct. 14th, and like in former
years, will be promoted by the philan-
thropic committees of the Hammond
Womans club and the Jewish Ladies'
Aid society for the benefit of the poor
and needy of the city.
The day has been set earlier this
year than in the past, in order to avoid
the uncertain and disagreeable weather
of November. 1t is expected that the
ladies of the organizations. assisted
by the school children, especially the
larger girls, will do the active work on
tag day.
Mesdames William Lash. represent
ing the philanthropic committee OF the
woman's club, and Mrs. l. l. Modjeska
representing the Jewish Ladies' Aid
society, have been appointed chairmer
of their respective organizations. and
will work together. They will proceed
to make all detail arrangements fol
a final meeting. which is to be held
on Friday evening, Oct 13th. at which
time the committee members and the
workers are to convene for final ar
rangements.
Past successes created by enthusiast
ic cooperation and a generous pub
lie have made tag day an annual event
on Hammond's calendar, and 1t is only
reasonable to presume that tag day
this year will be another big success.

institutions in the state.
The auditor of state points out the fact
as much interest as the postal savings
bank, and says there is no need for
room for a postal savings bank in
competition with a good and solvent
association in Indiana. In other words,
the state official is putting the local
institutions on a par with the United
States governments bank for solidity.
and gives the private institutions the
advantage of an earning power three
times greater than the government in

AWAITING
DEVELOPMENTS

1t is believed that Gary is to be in
volved in another invest igation as a
result of the meeting of the grand
jury in Hammond. Not even the
slightest hint has been dropped as to
what is being investigated. but the
fact that prominent Gary building
contractor was one of the witnesses
before the grand jury leads to the be-
lief that some of the building scandals
in Gary may be investigated.
Attorney D. e. Boone is known to
have been employed to aid the state in
the grand jury investigation. and it is
understood that there are likely to be
some interesting developments
