THE PUMP QUESTION AGAIN.

IL VIII be remembered that when
the question of adding to the pump-
ing capacity of the Hammond pump-
ing station was up last winter and
early spring that the principal rea-
son for the insistence that something
be done immediately was the fact that
the city was fast outgrowing it's wa.
ter works facilities and that the ex-
cessive demands for water that come
in the summer time must be met he.
fore last summer
The advocates of the electric numns
pointed out that they could be install
ed in the old pumping station. elimin-
ating the necessity of building the
new building that is now under con-
struction. and that the electric pumps
would be ready for use within a few
weeks
But certain influences were brought
to bear in favor of the steam pumps.
The result may be summarized as fol-
lows:
|. The emergency, which was held
Hammond struggled through the sum-
mer under low pressure.
2. The city has been put to the ex-
pense of building a new pumping sta
ton, not yet completed, which would
have been unnecessary in the case had
electric pumps been used.
3. II has become necessary to go
to the expense of buying a large trav-
cling crane in order to install and re-
pair the heavy steam pump machinery.
A. After the new pump is in work
ing order there is still serious uues-
ton as to whether or not the pressure
in hammond will be materially in
creased without the construction of
another trunk line of water pipe No
matter how many pumps the city may
install there is a limit to the amount
of water they can force through a So
inch main.

H. S. FOOTBALL.

The newspapers of Indiana who for
years have consistently fought high
school football-and it was an unpopu-
lar fight-are rejoicing that the game
is dying out on high school gridirons
Sensible parents will join in the glad
ness. Many of the schools of Indiana
have taken decided stand against it
and forbade it. Ii is surprise to note
that not a single school in Lake coun-
ty put the ban on football 1t is true
that one or two discouraged it, but
that was as far rs it went. No peroga-
tive to Danish it from the athletic cur
riculum was insisted upon. In speak
ing of the crusade, the Marion Chron-
icle says that football is no game for
immature boys of high school age. 1t
is dangerous enough for the husky.
we'll developed, well trained men who
play on the college gridiron The serv-
ice of the game to real athletic devel-
opment of an entire student body has
been vastly over-rated. The journey
ings of a high school football team
over the country is usually accom-
panied by evils inconsistent with the
purposes for which school systems are
maintained out of the public treasury.
1t is encouraging to know that the
game is dying natural death in the
high schools of the state, through a
