The principal item of interest IN the
structural steel market of this section
last week was the letting of the con-
tract for steel for the Otis building in
Chicago to the American Bridge COM
pany. Approximately 5000 tons win be
required. The Lackawanna Bridge
company secured the general contract
for the new plant of the American
Brake Shoe and Foundry company at
Chicago Heights.
Sheet mills are operating about two
thirds OF capacity, with prices firmly
maintained. as they are for plates, not
withstanding the rumors of price cut
ting on the latter.
There is apparent activity in
either iron or steel bars, purchases for
agricultural implement plants having
practically been concluded. while the
business that usually comes from rail-
road at this time is not in evidence.
Quietness continues to rule In the old
material market, with consumers buy
ing only for immediate needs and seem
ingiyn not attempting to break down
prices.

Dance Enjoyable Affair.

The University club dance was one
of the most enjoyable affairs that the
club has ever held. The dance was
held in the club ballroom last night and
in the neighborhood of thirty couples
were present.
The music was provided by Elsner
and 1t seemed to be the consensus Of
opinion that it was the best lance nlu-
sic that has been heard in some time.
At o'clock the programs were pass
ed around and the dancing continue Il
until l o'clock. Punch was served in
the main clubroom and was very ex-
cellent.
Chairman Joseph sontag and his
committee were complimented BY those
present on the success of the affair.
Among the variations from the usual
program was ladies choice. compG-
ny barred
Among those from out of town, or
who were home for the spring school
vacations were: Miss Belle Peterson OF
Crown Point; Julius Meyn, Charles c.
Deming of Martinsvilie, and Charles w
Wilson of Indianapolis.

The Tabloid Life.

To what extent can household life be
compressed. te1escoped, tab,oided? TO
almost any extent, replies an enterpris-
ing citizen OF Gary, Ind. and lays hin-s
self out to prove it. In a single room
of moderate dimensions he has found
way not only to lodge himself but to
carry on at the same time a boarding
house. livery stable, a poultry yard, a
fruit business and an ice cream factor.
With all this he finds room TO swing
cat or two and dog. But his tri-
umphal demonstration of multum in
parro has just been quashed by the
local health officers
Compared with such an achievement
how fat and limited seems life in an
ordinary apartment, how lacking in zest
and variety. Think of the fiat jewellers
who feel that they must have a sepa-
rate plate for their business. and by
whom, therefore. many agreeab Bile and
feasible household industries remain
Impractical. Think of the many squeez-
ed families who find it hard to put up a
friend over night; yet the Gary man
took care of three right along. There
are, indeed. very few of the choicer
apartment houses that casa care for an
automobile, but the little home in Gary
contrived TO domicile a horse and wa
gon. Some living rooms in flats can
| manage canary or a parrot. but how
| many. we wonder could negotiate a
coopful of chickens? When we con-
| slider that the tabloid establishment al
Gary not only did all these things, but
| did them at the same time, and then did
a lot of other things on top of them
| the wonder grows. And one serious
| inquiry comes to mind: If we continue
| to insist on much more than we
really need. can We expect to compete
successfully with the tough and per-
| severing and ingenious newcomer who
can get along with so much less?
Save the health department, there
seems to be but one defense between us
| and his final victory: We must raise

ture will be investigated by the Board
of Public Safety at their meeting to-
morrow night wherein Henry Price a
Gary attorney, is said to have offered
Captain Gus Newman of the Gary Pc
lice station a certain sum of money IL
he would throw the police court prac-
tice to him.
Counter charges have been filed By

to prove that Captain Newman has
shown favoritism and at times refused
to allow him to see his clients who
were locked in the police station. Ac-
cording TO a member of the Board OF
Public Safety this morning, the evil
dence of both charges is in the hands OF
the board and will be investigated TO
