FOR THE GARYITEs OF 1861.

Why should not the people of Gary
have motion pictures taken of their
present day notables. The city is
starting out right and it's every act
from the day in 1906 that Brother A.
F. Knots squatted down on the oak
stump by one of the sand dunes and
pointed out where Fifth avenue and
Broadway would be down to one of
the present day scenes-Rev. Trimblc
hauling people to church in a patrol
wagon--has been photographed By
enterprising camera men, who are
growing rich selling souvenir postal
cards that ought to be a great deal
cheaper. If we are to have a pictorial
record of Gary why not motion pic7

a violation of the law. Pedry has ap-
pealed the case to the superior court.

Men Who Make Safes.

A number Of years ago two pros
pective safe breakers succeeded IN
obtaining employment in two differ
chi safe factories, worked over
Deriod Of years in the various de-
r)artments, gained all the informa-
ton that they desired and subquent-
" working together, managed to
battle the safemakers by their skill
in opening complicated safes IN dit
ferent parts Of the country.
The police were at loss to under
stand how the safes had been open
ed. and only upon the apprehension
of the two men several years later
was it learned that the jobs had not
been INSIDE" ones, as was original
" suspected. but had really been
the work of two men who had been
initiated into the mysteries of safe
craft and had put their knowledge
to criminal use.
This put the safemakers on their
guard, and an exceedingly compli-
Gated system was Immediately put
into force, whereby not only was the
pedigree Of every workman looked
into closely, but the work among
the employees was so separated that
no one man or two men could gath
er enough information about a safe
to putt to dangerous use afterward
Furthermore, when an employee is
discharged or when he voluntarily
leaves this position his actions are
watched, and, although safe com
panies refuse to discuss this particu
lar point, it is a matter of RECORD
that any former employee of safe
company who is possessed of init
mate information regarding the Sc
crets of that company's safes is KEEP
under constant suryeillance.-Har
