ANOTHER
DESERTED
TWIN CITY
Especial TO THE TIMEs)

indiana Harbor, Ind. Aug. 14.-Indi-
ana Harbor and East Chicago gave a
fine illustration of the deserted village
yesterday between the baseball game
at Crown Point and the aviation meet
in Chicago. The latter. however. claim
ed the largest number by far of the In
habitants. both East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor furnishing their full quota
on every train and street car headed
for the big metropolis.
Never before has anything occurred
which has so utterly devastated the
Twin Cities of their inhabitants. The
Lake Shore 12:40 and 1854 took tre-
mendous throngs. which packed to suf-
location the three extra caches. each
of these carried for the OCCASION, and
overlooked into the aisles of the re-
mainder OF the train. As the train pro-
crossed it was almost impossible to find
even standing room on many of the
packed coaches.
But this was not all. The South
Shore ran extra cars all day. and every
car on the Hammond. Whiting & East
Chicago line carried a trailer for sever
al hours during the day when the con-
g~estion was the greatest.
Besides the crowds carried by the
railroads, the lnterurDan ana the street
car line, there were automobiles galore.
almost every machine the two towns
boasted being headed for the great
event.
The general exodus to the aviation
meet had the effect of depicting the
crowd of fans who otherwise would
have followed the East Chicago team
to Crown Point, although this crowd
WAS not to be sneezed at. and it also
had its effect upon the audience which
assembled on the Indiana Harbor ball
park grand stand to witness the double
header between the home team and
Hammond. On the whole 1t would ap-
pear as though the Twin Cities had
gone aviation mad.

MAYOR KNOTS TO
TAKE TRIP TO. COAST
Gary Chief Executive Plans

For Three Weeks.

For the next few weeks Gary will be
without the guiding hand of Mayor
Thomas E. Knots. The chief executive
of the steel city leaves tonight for the
Pacific coast, where he will attend the
national convention of the Eagles at
San Francisco. For this reason a spe-
cial session of the city council has been
called for this afternoon.
The aldermen will convene at 4
o'clock. and among the legislative
questions which they viii probably
tackle are the police and fire salaries
increases. Other necessary business
will also be disposed OF.
If Dean Sharp or FOL Nyhof and A
+. Knots get their heating franchises
through the board of public works to-
day they may ask the council to act
tonight.
There are rumors in the air that
Mayor Knots will seek to restore the
city comptrollership. The city council
combine abolished this $500 office
when they were at outs with the mayor
but since then both sides are camping
In the olive orchard and apparent peace
and contentment now reigns.

ing after Nelson had Internationally hit

second round was a pretty strong indi-
cation that he has something's to learn
about sportsmanshfp.
Strictly speaking. Nelson could nave
been disqualified for hitting CARNEY af-
ter the gong. but the fault was not his.
for the tinkle of the triangle could
scarcely be heard at the ringside, mucn
less by a man with two caulifiower ears
and the lust of battle in his blood.
Moreover. the blows were light ones
and did no damage at ALL"

NELSON
WON THE
BATTLE

In speaking of the fight which Bat Nell |
son had with Tommy Gaffney the night
his mother was killed at Hegewisch al
though Nelson knew nothing of the
tragedy at the time. the Medford (Ore.) |
Sun says:
"Outfought. outgeneraled and out
gained. Tommy Gafpey OF Spokane lost
his own fight last nis1 by jumping up
on Referee Hanauer after being all but
knocked out. near the end of the NTH
round.
TT was a very disappointing ending
to a ~slash-bang mill. Both men went
into the fight for blood. and from the
first gong 1T was blow for blow, VITA
Nelson %outpointing and outhitting his
opponent in every round but the first.
I'm the first round Ganne sent a
terrific hook to the jaw. which sent the
Battler's head back and for a moment
he seemed to be in distress. II Gaffney
had followed up his advantage at once
the result might have been different
But the e~x-champion lightweight hung
on for a few seconds, covered carefully
and after a rest came to the scratch In
the second round as fresh as a daisy.
Then 1T was Gaffney covering up and
Nelson banging him around in an en-
deavor to find an opening for thu
knockout. This procedure was varied
every now and then by Gaffney sending
out an uppercut which seldom failed
to land. But as the fight progressed
Gaffney's blows got weaker and weak
er. A shower of blows. to the head sent
him down for the count of nine in the
fourth round and IN the fifth he was
sent down again with a right to the
mouth and a left. to the solar plexus
for the count. of FIVE. Crouching in a
corner of the ring. his face splattered
with blood, he seemed able to offer but
slight defense. and as Nelson sent q
terrific left to the stomach, droppe1
his hands and with the words, L can.
stand for this seemed about to quit
Nelson TODD there, apparently mystified
for the moment. and then as the ~referee
stepped up Gaffney's second jumped in
to the ring. and while Gaffney's brothei
rushed at Nelson, Gafney himself los
ing his head entirely sprang at Refere,
Hanauer.
"For a moment it looked as though
there would be a real good imitation o
a Bowery smuggling fest. Several in
terested spectators jumped into the rinl
and Chief of Police Hittson Numbered

and while Gaffney and his brother wer,

the most part consist of broken ribs and
limbs. The dead were crushed by the
impact of the trains.
Every ambulance in the city was

half a hundred physicians were sum-
moned at once. The more seriously
hurt were taken to hospitals and for
those with minor injuries and bruises

catch fire. a call was sent in to the fire
department and two companies were on
the scene assisting in the work of
rescue. News of the wreck spread about

WHY. ARE YOU NOT a TIMES
READER?
Bisbee daily review., 1911-04-28

Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette. wife of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. Is vice president of the Housekeepers' Alliance of Washington. This organi- zation for the last two years has been conducting an investigation into do- nestle problems. and Mrs. La Toilette has reached some definite conclusions us to how these problems can be best solved
 She says: When housekeepers CO., operate to elevate household stand ards. systematize housework and put 1t on d scientific basis vast good can be accomplished. The servant girl problem is a great economic question, caused by the compiexity of our American life.
 The housekeeper who has learned the dignity of household labor has more sympathy with all those who per form it. and she can teach them the best methods based on science
 "ID training young women for do- ! fession. thereby making 1t attractive and profitable to them. lies much of the solution of the problem.
 The American girl cannot bear to be looked down upon. and the Ameri- can woman is at fault in allowing do mestic labor 10 fall under the ban of social stigma"
 Mrs. La Toilette believes housekeep- CTS should see to it that laundries, bakeries and other commercial con cerns which do part of the work of the present day household should be held up to tine highest standards of clean liness and efficiency.
 There must be plenty of sunshine soap and rinsing with the family wash ing. Few of us know anything of the conditions in the laundry to which we send our clothes
 We may want bread of the sort grandmother made" she says, but ws think little of the handljaS it gets in | the bakery. As a concession to our ideas of cleanliness the baker may wrap it before he hands it in our door but through how many pairs of F-rimy hands has 1t passed before the paper is put around it2
 Much of the housework of the flu ture must be done by these commer cIal concerns outside of the family and it behooves each of us to see that 1t is done as nearly as possible witt the same cleanliness that it is done ir our homes"

In Gas. of Fire.

More women's lives have been lost in fires through their inability to use a fire escape or their almost hysteri- cally mock modest fear of being car ried down one by a fireman" says Chief A. J. Hey of the Los Angeles fire department
 Women should be trained to know that when a fire is raging and escape nearly cut of it is no time to stand thinking of who may be looking on or who the fireman Is. He is not a man; be Is safety personi6ed. and to him she Is not a woman. just a human life to be rescued at all costs. at any peril"
 Chief Hey believes that. with the tremendous growth of the city. it's many tall buildings and the constantly Increasing number of women employ ees, a knowledge of fire escape eti- quette and athletics is absolutely es- sential- Observation of the following rules would make the fremen's task easier:

TUCSON. April 22.-But for the luck which brought a party Of sur seyors into the immediate vicinity of his ranch home. Gus Hollsten, a well known old-timer of Pima coun- ty. would now be corpse from a bite of a rattlesnake. As it was, the timely infection or permanganate of potassium into his arm saved his life. Mir.

Fernah. a member of the party, immediately prepared an injection Of permanganato of notassium and in iected it into his arm above the wound left by the rattler's teeth. It was not until tweuty-four hours after he had been bitten that Mir Hollsten was brought to Tucson for treatment.

DAME NATURE HINTS When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is generally with the fond; the old Dame is al ways faithful and one should act at once
 To put of the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says:
 For years could not safely eat any breakfast l tried all kinds of breakfast foods, but they were all soft. starchy messes, which gave me coffee, too. which appeared to bene- it me at the time, but added to the headaches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better. for I found the toast very constipating.
 "A friend persuaded me to quii coffee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape Nuts instead. shall never regret taking his advice.
 The change they have worked in me is wonderful. I now have no more of the distressing sensations in my stomach after eating. and I never have any headaches. l have gained i2 pounds in weight and feel better in every way. Grape-Nuts make a delicious as well as a nutritious dish and I find that Postum is easly di. gested and never produces dyspepsia symptoms"
