and said to be feeble minded. was TAX
zen from an Inland steel switching en-
gine yesterday, on which the lad SEEM

and the police decided to take stern
measures to enforce obedience. The
boy was picked up at Gibson not long
ago, in half frozen condition, and yes
terday he seemed half dead from ex-
posure. He is thinly clad, having neith-
er underwear nor an overcoat. and most
of the time his shoes and stockings are
said to be so poor and full of holes as

TUCKER SAYS It
IS GOOD ORDINANCE
Alderman Eastwood, He of
Watchful Eye, Response
BILE For Measure.

The ordinance pending in the Ham
mond city council. providing that the
entrails must be removed from fowl
and game before it is offered for sale
is good one and should be passed by
all means" said Frank Tucker, state
pure food inspector today who is
camping in Hammond this week. "Only
yesterday your city sealer. Mr..
O'Rourke. and myself visited a local
butcher shop and found a number of
slaughtered chicken in such a bad
state because the entrails had not been
removed. that we ordered him to throw
them away at once. Notice a hunter,
he removes the entrails from the game
before he returns home. The butcher
removes the entrails from all carcasses
before he offers them for sale. so why
not do the same thing with the chicken.
Now in butchering an animal the ex-
terror of the body cools off first, and
the interior last What happens? The
heat of the interior unable to escape
causes fermentation and eventually de-
composition sets in
The ordinance to which Mr.. Tucker
referred was Introduced in the city
council last Tuesday night. and three
councilmen voted against it, II went
to it's second reading. and unless the
majority of the councilmen balk it
will be adopted The measure was ia
thered by Councilman Eastwood. who is
said to have received his inspiration
for 1t in a butehershop which he had
entered as customer The customer
preceding him had asked for a chick
en- and instructed the butcher to res
move the entrails and the crop. This
the butcher did, and having finished
this order, instead of washing his
hands as any person with the least
sense of cleanliness would have done
he turned to the councilman and cut q
nice juicy steack for him.N

NEXT TRIP
He WILL
NOT SLEEP

This is the story of a Gary steel
worker who lives in Calumet avenue in
Hammond.
Every morning he gets on the Ham
mond car at the steel plant gate and
usually sleeps until Calumet avenue in
Hammond is reached when the conduc-
tor obligingly wakes him up
BaIIed Out Conductor
Yesterday morning the man in ques-
tion was late and the car started with
out the sleeping passenger. The Ham
mon man ran after it and after a short
marathon he caught up with the car
and boarded it. Thereupon he "balled
out" the conductor who said:
"All right. old man. we will let it go
at that"
Then He Slept.
The irate passenger then went inside
and fell asleep OF course. the con-
ductor did not awaken him when CaIu-
ried on to Sibley and Holman street,
the end of the Gary and Interurban
car line.
He Slept Again.
When the sleeper woke up and upon
the refusal of the conductor to carry
him back to Calumet avenue free of
cost he decided to return to Gary on
the same car and report the incident to
Supt. Philips. He reached Gary at nine
o clock and went to the superintend-
ents office wher he waited in vain for
some hours. At one o'clock he boarded
the same car that had first Carried him
to Hamond, went inside, wrangled with
the conductor again and then went
asleep.
Then He Slept More.
For the second time the car passed
Calumet avenue and the conductor did
not awaken his cranky passenger
Holman street was reached at tive
O'Clock and the now storming traveller
hoofed it back to Calumet avenue ii
time to get his supper and start back
to work on the, four O'Clock car the
very same one that be had ben riding
