MAN MATCHES OUT
 42 CHICKENS

CINCINNATI, May go. - Jacob F. Seitz. q prominent citizen Cf Lock land, which is one of Cincinnati's leading suburbs, has just matched out forty-two chickens.
 He did il all by himself spent all his time on the nest. and says that being a human incubator isn't so hard a job as most people make it out to be.
 His four Plymouth R"ck hens were stolen from their nests about three days before the chicks were to have been matched.
 He then rushed the eggs to his cellar. made up sort of bed in which he lay. with the eggs all about him. and. with the aid of heavy blanket, succeeded in matching out forty-twO chicks from sixty eggs.
 For eighteen days Mr. SeitZ had watched over his three hens with all the care of mother. and kept telling his neishbOrs that he was going to have at least 55 dandy chickens when these hens came off their nests.
 But few days ago he went to his hen house and found that his Ply mouth Rocks had been stolen.
 He grabbed basket. wrapped the warm eggs in it. and ran home Then he and his wife went into exc cutive sessiCn and discussed what they should do to save them.
 The result was that he made a bed in the cellar into which his wife tucked him with blanket. All the eggs were carefully placed about his body.
 In this bed-nest he lay for three days, having his meals brought to him and being supplied with his pipe, tobacco and matches every day by Mrs. SeitZ
 Now he has the chickens and his neighbors are telling wonderful stories as to his mental acumen in testing cut his ability as human incubator.

BUFFALO. x. Y.. :,lay 29. - Ad- miration for the gameneSs Of par of robins in sticking to their nest on flying trip between Hamilton, Ont, and Buffalo. has resulted in a car being taken out of the train and sidetracked for their benefit until their young are able to shift for themselves.
 PatrClman Mooney noticed the nest behind the top rung ot brake lad der on an empty car that came over the international bridge. When the train came to a standstill he clam bered up to investigate. Before he reached the top of the ladder a pair of robins were fluttering around him and making a great ado. There were four eggs in the nest.
 Railroad men, who became as in terested as the policeman, managed find something wrong with the brakes and the car was placed on dead siding. where it will be allowed to remain until the birds get through with it.

 More than usual interest attached to Jim Warren's initial appearance as a member of the august body that made the laws of his state. In the first place. he, an unknown maker of blows, had whaled the life out of Lewis, who had been looked upon as invincible; in the second place, despite the fact that he had accepted the support of Lewis machine, it was generally understood that he was an independent - possibly the only one in the legislature; in the third place, there are always dormant possibil- ities in readheaded young man who has done the impossible thing. Besides, he was a representative of labor men and there was very wide and growing belief that he was incor- ruptible. Still, the newspaper men had found him friendly, terse and to the point; while the cartoonists reveled in the luxury of his freckles and that haunting grin of his.
 Jim Warren's first sight of the leg islative chamber on that first day of it's convening was one he never for got vast hall, gay with flowers and flags and bunting. packed with humanity from the speakers desk.

MORE BURGL ARIES
ON NORTH SIDE

Two more small robberies were re-
ported to the police this morning. and
each occurred in the same vicinity
where the robberies Monday night
took place.
The home of Emil Pickert. 463 150th
street, was entered some time last
night, and the thieves made their get
away with ladies' gold watch, two
gold rings and 65 cents IN change. En-
trance was gained by forcing window
and the house breakers made their es-
cape without being detected
The Pickert home is only few doors
from the Reeder residence 4S9 150th
street. which was broken into Monday
night. Mr.. Pickert did not hear any
noises during the night and did not
know how the thief could have got into
the house without being heard
An attempt to break into the Penn
sylvania depot was also made some
time last night, and while the thief
was at work, he is believed to have
been scared away.
An attempt was made to gain en-
trance by cutting the putty from the
glass on a side window. No clues have
been obtained so far on any of the re-
cent robberies

CLUBHOUSE
PROJECTION
SAFE BASIS
Twenty Five Out of Thirty
Necessary Subscribers As
sured, So There Is Now no
Further Doubt of Plans
Success.

Twenty of the necessary thirty
Hammond people who are needed at
$4,000 each TO finance the purchase of
land and the building of a country
club house have been secured.
This makes the project to protect
Homewood from the encroachment of
undesirable neighbors an assured
success and makes 1t certain that the
fine new club house will be built this
fall
Those who have subscribed for the
shares of stock at $4,000 each are as
sured a good Investment. and they have
the satisfaction of Knowing that they
have aided faudable civic enterprise.
It is pointed out that there are
probably fifty residences in Homewood
that have cost $4,000 or over. Were
it not for this project to protect Home
wood this property might greatly de-
preciate in value
1t is thought that for this reason
every owner of valuable residential
property in Homewood ought to be in
terested in the project. 1t is not only
a worthy project. but it is matter oil
self protection.
Membership lists will be circulated
in Hammond beginning with today
and so great is the interest in the pro-
ject that it is believed that a member
ship of 200 can be secured at $50. The
dues will be s36 a year
Those who are promoting this projeci
do not want the impression to prevail
that they are antagonistic to the Lake
County Country club. When they got
the opportunity to secure all of thi:
acreage so close to the best residential
district of Hammond at price thai
would make it available for country
club purposes, and when it became ap

this in some way to prevent it from be
coming a menace to the fine residence.
in this locality the country club wa.
the logical solution of the problem.

ANOTHER SENSATION
PROMISED FOR GARY
Boone Takes a Mysterious
Case Requiring Grand
Jury's Attention.>

Attorney D. E. Boone of Hammond
has been employed as special counsel
to take a matter of considerable i'm
portance before the grand jury which
Is now In session in the Lake Superior
court house at Hammond.
Boone would not state what the mat
ter is but said that If the grand jury
brought in an Indictment it would add
another sensation to those which have
already been sprung in Gary.
He was asked If the matter had any
thing to do with the Gary graft cases
and denied absolutely that 1t did lie
said that 1t is an entirely new matter.
Evidently there is a wave of reform
sweeping over Gary which will result
in a number of minor prosecutions
The new sensation is expected to be
sprung when the grand jury returns Its
indictments.

PHYSICAL
TEST FOR
SCHOLARS
School Board Appoints Drs.
Howat and Kelly to Make
Annual Inspection as to
Physical Condition of Chill
dren. :

Drs. w. f. Howatt and L. II. Kelley
were appointed by the school board at
its session last evening to make the
annual health inspection of the school
children. They will examine the pupils
to their physical health. with an
eye particularly to such handicaps as
cause children to be backward in their
studies
Defective sight and hearing and inn
proper digestion are found among the
most numerous causes for retarding
study and creating lack of interest in
school work. Often these troubles are
not very pronounced. and in many such
cases it does not occur to the parents
to give the child medical treatment.
Too often the childs mental condition
is considered apart from his physical
well being. and his unsatisfactory
standing in class work is ascribed to
undeveloped mentality and passed or
with the comment that the child is
stupid.
Thus far the annual medical exam
nations have been found very bene-
fetal. The examining physicians are
supplied with blank slips which they
NIL out and send to the parents, sug-
gesting to them that the child be given
Immediate attention. leaving the choice
of a physician to the parent.
In the examinations particular stress
is laid upon the eve, ear. nose. throat.
